Chapter 27 - Chapter 28: Let Go

This was the man's perspective. After reading the entire diary, Zenin Kiyoshi's perspective instantly switched to Kyoko's.

The man had actually made a mistake. Kyoko had actually faked the last report.

The day she found out about the man's accident, she had already given up on her treatment.

Each of her treatments required high medical expenses.

Kyoko had calculated that if she could save the treatment costs for this week, she could buy new clothes for her child for about a quarter, take the man to the Chinese restaurant he had always wanted to go to, and take a family photo for the three of them...

She calculated many, many things, crying as she calculated. But in the end, Zenin Kiyoshi discovered that Kyoko had not included herself in the calculation from beginning to end.

She saved the money for that week. Every time her husband wanted her to go to the hospital, she pretended to go obediently, and then wandered around the park near the hospital until the evening.

She knew that she could no longer be cured. She didn't want to add pressure to her husband and child at the very end.

In the park, she would find an inconspicuous corner to sit and then use the needles and thread she bought to knit sweaters for her child bit by bit.

The season she and her husband hated the most every year was winter, because it was very cold at that time, and neither of them could afford a sweater. They could only keep walking in the winter to relieve the cold and stinging pain.

But at that time, she still had him. Her child would be alone then.

She had to knit enough sweaters for her child. The child was already 2 years old this year. She had to knit sweaters until she was 20 years old, because she felt that at that time, her child would be able to take care of herself.

But as she knitted, Kyoko discovered that she had unknowingly knitted until she was 22 years old, and she had no desire to stop at all. She would always think, what if the child was too careless, or accidentally got fat in the future?!

Later, later, the two of them entrusted all their savings to the man who had just died at the entrance. He was their landlord, the landlord of the basement they had lived in for seven years.

They said that this was the future rent, and for the rest, they hoped that the landlord could take care of their child.

After the landlord heard their story, he was so moved that he cried and swore that he would take care of the child. After hearing these words, the two of them were relieved, because they felt that the money they gave the landlord was definitely more than the reward.

After saying those words, the two of them said goodbye to the landlord.

The landlord asked them where they were going. The two said that they wanted to see more of the world before they died, and they didn't want to cause trouble for the landlord. After all, if the two of them died in the landlord's basement, it would probably be very troublesome for the landlord.

Hearing this, the landlord just repeatedly assured them that he would definitely take care of their child as if he were his own.

After saying that, he watched the two of them go away.

But what the landlord didn't know was that the two of them hadn't gone very far. They had no money left, and both of them were extremely weak. They supported each other and came to the semi-abandoned garage opposite the basement.

There, they could also see their whole world.

On the first day, the landlord walked into the house, stayed for ten minutes, and walked out. The sound of the child crying came from the house later. He did not take the child away, but let a two-year-old child live alone inside.

The man originally wanted to go find the landlord, but Kyoko stopped him. She said, "The landlord may be looking for a nanny. After all, the landlord is a man in his forties or fifties, so he may not have much experience in taking care of children."

In fact, it was just like that. The landlord was worried that the man would come back to check, so he found a nanny and asked her to look after the child.

The nanny stayed for four consecutive days. On the evening of the fourth day, the landlord ended the nanny's work.

After that, the landlord never went to the basement again. And his son, on the morning of the second day, walked into the basement with a bag of lime.

At this time, the man and Kyoko had long since lost the strength to move. They looked at everything in front of them and could only watch helplessly as their child was sent away, sent to the place where they had once stayed.

The man wanted to do something, but he found that Kyoko was already dead. He didn't know how long Kyoko had been dead, nor did he know what to do now.

He was just extremely regretful, regretting his own stupidity, regretting why he had entrusted his child to the landlord.

But it seemed that he had no other choice. Compared to the welfare institution, he seemed to trust the landlord with a human face and a beast's heart more at that time.

The man looked at his child's distant figure and only felt a wave of hatred welling up in his heart. And at this moment, the monsters that he could see when he was a child appeared beside him. Those monsters looked at him with a grin, as if they were mocking his stupidity.

He looked at his wife beside him, tears streaming down his face.

He didn't know how he died, maybe he was eaten by a monster, or maybe something else.

In short, when he woke up, he only saw the landlord's child who was about to be killed by him, and his own body that was tightly bound.

Time returns to the present, and consciousness returns to the body.

Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Kyoko who was holding him tightly at this moment, and at the man who was now like a madman. For a moment, he only felt a terrible headache.

He didn't know why he could see the other party's memory. Was it because he had accepted 10% of Hanami's ability? Or was it the Cursed Spirit ability after the man and Kyoko died?

In short, he saw all of this.

Hanami noticed that something was wrong with Zenin Kiyoshi. She turned back to look at him and only felt that his eyes were a little red, as if he had experienced something.

"Are you okay?"

Hanami's voice came, with a wisp of evening breeze that dispelled the sadness.

Zenin Kiyoshi's voice was a bit heavy, with a slightly indistinct nasal sound:

"Yes, I'm fine. Sister Hanami, let go of that Cursed Spirit."

Hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's words, Hanami was stunned for a moment. She looked at him with an extremely complicated gaze.

"If I let go of this Cursed Spirit now, that human will die."

Hearing this, Zenin Kiyoshi lowered his head, glanced at Kyoko who was now shedding bloody tears, at the infant's corpse at his feet, and at the man who was now struggling and roaring.

"Yes, it's okay. Let go."

When a person is about to be killed by a Cursed Spirit, they will connect with the Cursed Spirit due to the fear and other negative emotions released in an instant, and thus be able to see the other party.

The young man heard the conversation between the two and begged Zenin Kiyoshi frantically:

"No! No! No! Please! Save me! I don't want to be killed by a monster! Please..."

Zenin Kiyoshi looked at the other party, his eyes only cold.

The vines loosened slightly, and blood splattered everywhere.
