"Act 1: Neighbors"
The opening of the cursed diary recorded the first family to move into a Japanese-style villa. It borrowed heavily from Ju-on's plot.
It was written from the first person perspective.
Han Dong was the owner of the house, Toshio Zubo, and Sally was his wife, Kayako. Together, they raised their five-year-old son, Toshio Zubo.
However, the source of all the resentment was not because Kayako was obsessed with her old classmate and was discovered by her suspicious husband. Instead, it was because of something else.
Here, Toshio Zubo and Kayako were very loving. There was no suspicion at all. Even the diary that Kayako wrote was just a record of her happy life.
It was very different from the original movie.
Furthermore, there was a very important detail that shocked Han Dong to the core.
"Hmm? There was no crooked tree in the earliest courtyard? "
Han Dong was surprised to discover that the earliest courtyard only had some flowers and grass. There was no crooked tree that looked decades or even centuries old.
So, when did this tree come into existence?
Then, Han Dong and Sally observed the happy life of the couple from the first person perspective. However, this happiness did not last long because an important turning point arrived.
Several days passed, and Toshio Zubo's house welcomed a visitor who claimed to be their 'neighbor'.
Strangely enough, Han Dong could not see the other party's appearance from the first person perspective. His upper body was completely covered by the black miasma, and the bottom of his white trousers corresponded to the large and exquisite black leather shoes.
"This is!"
Han Dong immediately thought of the heavy leather shoes that he had heard at the safe house.
For now, he did not make too many deductions and continued to observe.
The mysterious neighbor claimed to be the manager of a botanical garden. Today, he brought a sapling that he had carefully cultivated as a gift. He said that Toshio Zubo's house was relatively open, and it was very suitable for planting a tree.
During the conversation, wisps of black miasma were sucked into Toshio Zubo's body, and he gladly accepted the suggestion.
Just like that, the mysterious neighbor left without entering the house.
Toshio Zubo did not discuss it with his wife and immediately placed the sapling into the courtyard. At the same time, he showed a satisfied expression.
Something strange happened … The next morning, when the couple woke up in the master bedroom, they did not feel the familiar sunlight. The window was covered by dense leaves.
However, the two of them did not find it strange. They seemed to have accepted the existence of this tree in their minds.
Ever since the leaves blocked the sunlight, the whole family had become strange.
From Han Dong's perspective, Takao Zubo became irritable and irritable. He even woke up in the middle of the night to steal raw meat from the fridge.
From Sally's perspective, Kayako began to write some strange things in her diary, revealing her affection for various members of the opposite sex and her disgust for her husband.
As for their child, Toshio, he began to enjoy playing in the attic. There was even one time when he was caught eating a live mouse in the attic. He had also hung himself under a crooked tree.
The final ending was the same as in The Grudge. Kayako was brutally murdered by her husband and hidden in a wooden box in the attic.
Toshio, who was playing in the attic, also happened to see this scene and was not spared.
After completing all of this, Zubo Gangxiong found a white rope and hung himself from the crooked tree.
Han Dong and Sally's perspective slowly moved away from the body as the main body died.
They looked down at this Japanese-styled mansion …
Then, something strange happened. Wisps of resentment floated out from the attic. These wisps of resentment wanted to envelop and permeate this building, turning it into a haunted house and cursing everyone who came here.
However, an irresistible force forced the wisps of resentment to flow toward the crooked tree and be stored there.
At this moment, the 'mysterious neighbor' visited again. He gently broke off a branch that was filled with resentment and left happily.
"This guy is using this method to collect the resentment in people's hearts?"
Then, the diary entered the next part.
[Act 2: Residents]
This part of the diary described the many residents who moved into this haunted house.
First, there was a lonely old lady. After she provided a large sum of money, the nursing home arranged for her to move into this mansion alone.
Every day, there would be professional caregivers coming to take care of her.
Due to her serious foot injury, the old lady basically had to live in her bed and was taken care of by an honest-looking caregiver.
They knew each other from the nursing home, and the old lady would give the caregiver a large amount of tips in private. They had a good relationship … After they moved in, both of their personalities changed.
The old lady became moody and would often do things that no one could understand.
The caregiver had already come up with many murderous plans in his mind.
Finally, one day, he treated the old lady like a piece of pork and placed her in a black plastic bag in the fridge. After that, he hanged himself from the crooked tree.
Then, there was a young couple who came here after winning a free travel ticket.
The young and beautiful woman had waist-length black hair. In the end, her hair was pulled out by her boyfriend in the bathroom and she was choked to death.
The boyfriend also chose to hang himself from the crooked tree.
Then, there was a rather dramatic scene.
Due to the strange deaths of many residents, this Japanese-styled mansion became quite famous in the neighborhood. A poor person came to seek shelter at the haunted house with a cursed tape.
In the middle of the night.
The young man was actually playing the tape in a sleepwalking state. When he woke up, he was bound and could only stare at the TV screen, feeling the fear before death.
Who knew.
When the evil spirit just climbed out of the TV, it seemed to perceive something even more terrible. It immediately retracted back into the TV and jumped back into the well.
The young man who was about to rejoice at surviving the disaster accidentally caught a glimpse of the rope hanging on the crooked tree. He quickly put it around his neck.
…
All in all.
There were a total of nine people who died in this mansion.
The perpetrators who were bewitched by the trees would eventually choose to hang themselves.
The resentment of the residents who were killed in the haunted house would be absorbed into the trees and eventually collected by the mysterious neighbor.
Seeing this, Han Dong could also make a deduction:
"The neighbor who caused all this is most likely the [Mysterious Craftsman] mentioned in the event introduction. He is also the key person who created the item" Box of Resentment ".
He should have sent 'greeting gifts' to all the residents on the street. In this way, he regularly collected the most primitive resentment from the human heart as the raw material for the box.
Could it be that … if I want to find the "Box of Resentment", I have to face this person when the number of ladybugs is equal to five? "
Just when Han Dong thought of this.
The memory triggered by the diary stopped abruptly.
Once again returned to the courtyard area filled with black miasma.
The strange scene that came into view made Han Dong tremble and take a step back.
The huge crooked tree was full of 'fruits'.
The hanged people that he saw in his memory were neatly hanging on the branches. They all showed a sickly exaggerated smile and kept waving, hoping that Han Dong and Sally would join them.
The system prompt came immediately:
[The sharing of "Cursed Diary" has been completed. You have become the new owner of this mansion.
Please completely destroy the "crooked tree" when the number of ladybugs is equal to four.
Once destroyed, you will obtain important clues to the ultimate goal of this event and may become the final winner.]
