Kanako's house.
Kanako curled up on her bed nervously. Her mind was in a trance, and she couldn't help but recall the horrifying incidents that happened recently, especially her experience at Kayako's house. Those scenes kept flashing in her mind like a slide, attacking her fragile nerves.
Kanako felt like she was going crazy. She didn't know what would happen next and what kind of danger she would encounter. These days, she had been locking herself in her house and didn't dare to go out, afraid that something similar would happen again. Even so, Kanako was still trembling with fear. She would be startled by even the slightest sound.
Humans had always been weak in front of ghosts. Firstly, it was the fear of the unknown, and secondly, ordinary humans didn't have the power to fight against them.
Kanako felt that she must have been haunted by a ghost to suffer such bad luck. If there really was a ghost, what should she do? Kanako curled up on her own in the empty room, hugging her knees and burying her head deep into her knees. Lonely and helpless tears flowed down uncontrollably. She thought of Shunsuke Kobayashi's warm smile. "Shunsuke, what should I do? I'm so scared … "
Even if she stayed at home, Kanako still felt scared.
She felt that she couldn't just sit and wait for death. The next day, Kanako came to school and found Shunsuke Kobayashi.
"Kanako, what's wrong?" Ye Xuan patted Kanako's back in a comforting manner. She rushed into his arms the moment she saw him and hugged him tightly. He frowned and placed his hands on Kanako's shoulders, separating them.
Ye Xuan thought to himself, 'As expected of a little girl. She must be sad because of the breakup.'
However, he was determined not to get back together with Kanako because of a moment of soft-heartedness. How could he change his mind so easily?
Unexpectedly, Kanako raised her head with tears on her face. She looked very panicked.
Only then did Ye Xuan notice that Kanako's face was pale. There were heavy dark circles under her eyes, and she looked very haggard. She didn't look as cute and cute as she usually did. Ye Xuan immediately had a guess.
It seemed that Kanako had encountered it too …
"Junsuke, help me. I've encountered something really scary. Only you can help me." Kanako's voice was trembling. She was a little emotional.
Ye Xuan put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her calmly. "Don't be afraid. Speak slowly."
Kanna carefully raised her head to take a glance at Ye Xuan, then lowered her head in embarrassment. She choked and said, "After you broke up with me, I felt indignant and felt that I should clarify things with Kayako. So, I went to Kayako's house …" Then, Kanna raised her head to look at Ye Xuan's expression. Ye Xuan frowned slightly. Kanna quickly explained, "I didn't go to find trouble with her this time. I just wanted to clarify things …"
Ye Xuan motioned for her to continue.
Seeing that Ye Xuan wasn't angry, Kanako continued, "I knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I thought of a way to get in. Then, he realized that there was really no one there. At that time, I was scared and wanted to leave … But, but! But suddenly, a head popped out from the door! I was almost scared to death! " As Kanna spoke, a panicked expression appeared on her face. She cried and suddenly became incoherent.
Ye Xuan held Kanna's head and made her face him. His resolute gaze stared straight into Kanna's eyes, as though he was giving her an infinite sense of security. "Kanna, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I said that I would lead everyone to investigate the recent terrorist incident. Don't be afraid. I can only protect you if you tell me."
Kanna sniffled and said while crying, "Then, the tap turned on by itself. I was submerged in the washroom. Then, I fainted. Later, I found myself lying on the lawn outside, so I quickly ran back home. "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan understood. He guessed that it was very likely that Kayako, who had become a female ghost, did it.
However, Kayako didn't kill Kanna. She only scared her. Did this mean that his purification of Kayako was effective? After all, Kayako didn't really kill Kanna.
Of course, there was also a terrible guess. Maybe Kayako just wanted to take it slow …
"Kanna, I want to ask you something. Don't lie to me." Kanna had long been scared out of her wits. At this moment, she was nestled in Ye Xuan's arms like a frightened bunny. Her eyes were red, and she only treated Ye Xuan as her protector. She nodded obediently. "Yes."
Ye Xuan then asked, "Who told Kayako's parents that she was almost raped by the school doctor?"
Kanako was shocked. She wanted to say that she did not know, but when she saw Ye Xuan looking at her with a gaze as sharp as a knife, as if he knew everything, she knew that if she continued to hide it from him, it would only incur his disgust. So she admitted it honestly, "I did."
Ye Xuan didn't ask why Kanna said it. Obviously, she told Kayako's parents on purpose out of jealousy.
Ye Xuan was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Kanna was a sweet and cute girl. Who knew that she would turn out like this?
A girl's jealousy was really scary.
However, this also verified Ye Xuan's guess. If it wasn't for Kanna's interference, Kayako probably wouldn't have had such a twisted mentality. At the very least, she wouldn't have turned into a murderous female ghost so quickly.
Ye Xuan held his forehead and shook his head. His brows were tightly furrowed. The road ahead was going to be more and more difficult.
Kanna saw that Ye Xuan seemed to be very dissatisfied with her behavior. She was afraid that Ye Xuan would ignore her if he heard what she did. She hurriedly grabbed Ye Xuan's arm and begged, "I was wrong. I won't do it again. I was immature before. Please forgive me. I'm really scared now." As she spoke, tears of panic flowed down her face again. She quietly grabbed Ye Xuan's arm as if she was the last life-saving straw.
Ye Xuan had broken up with Kanna a long time ago. He didn't want to say anything more. He just patted Kanna's shoulder and comforted her. "Kanna, don't worry. I won't abandon you. Go home first. You must keep in touch with me at all times."
Kanna shook her head after hearing that. Her face was full of tears. "I don't want to go home. I want to be with you. Junsuke, let me go to your house. It's really scary to be alone in an empty room."
Looking at the shivering Kanako, Ye Xuan let out a sigh as if he was pitying her. In fact, what he was thinking was that he wanted to trigger a plot change faster and see what Kayako would do next. So, he agreed. "Alright. Stay at my place for the next few days. I'll protect you."
Kanna was a little happy. She threw herself into Ye Xuan's arms again and hugged him tightly. She softly murmured, "Junsuke, thank you. I knew you wouldn't leave me behind."
