"What? What's in it?" Ichiro and Erlang asked in unison. "The skeleton, the skeleton of a man who was buried alive fifty years ago. That guy didn't lie." Father Tamamura replied panting. However, it is unusual for a mere skeleton to scare my father like this.So, brothers Ichiro and Erlang mustered up the courage to go to the wall, dig the gaps in the bricks with their fingers, and work together to push the outer board. The brick wall immediately collapsed, revealing a deep pit behind it.The red bricks in front of the hole in the wall were originally newly built, and it seemed that they were going to be dismantled at any time, and they were dismantled without much effort.

The skeletons in the pit were dressed in tattered kimonos, and the whole body was relatively intact, maintaining the standing posture of suffering before death, and the corpses had already dried. Just the bones, how can they support the whole skeleton?Is it because of leaning on the soil?Or did Genzo Okumura, the vengeful ghost, put the bones back together afterward?In any case, the haggard skeleton, wearing a tattered kimono, vividly displayed a posture of dying and struggling, which was so terrifying that it made people tremble. Fingers deep in the soil, legs bent in unnatural postures, twisted body, teeth clenched and bared, eyes like holes that can't see the bottom, in front of you is a lunatic dancing a dying dance.

The two brothers, like their father, said "wow", and couldn't help turning their faces away at the same time.And Taeko, a weak woman, saw the frightened appearance of her father and brother, and trembled before seeing the actual situation, shrinking her body and falling to the ground with a "plop". Although they didn't know it, when they thought that this was the man who was buried alive by their predecessors, no matter whether Zentaro, Ichiro or Jiro, they couldn't help feeling an indescribable ambivalence in their hearts. How terrible that scene must be, and how tragic it must be!The brick wall seals the darkness of the ground, separating the world from hell. On the other end is a tomb where eternal life will never see the light of day. The man inside is greedily sucking in the increasingly thin air, and his hands are busy pawing the thick wall of dirt , Struggling until the moment of dying.

Zentaro involuntarily fell to his knees on the ground, facing the hole in the wall, and murmured about Buddha. In order to comfort the innocent souls who died in vain, and to eliminate the evil deeds of his late father, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the scars on the red bricks scattered on the ground. , upon closer inspection, the notch looks like words. Ah, could this be the suicide note engraved on the red brick mentioned by Genzo Okumura just now?Thinking of this, Yucun could not help but tremble, but the more frightened he became, the more he felt that he had to see it with his own eyes.So he leaned over to pick up the scattered broken bricks, pieced them together, and racked his brains to decipher the ghostly characters on them (probably carved in the dark with a knife or something sharp in his pocket).And the above words and sentences, everyone who has read it is horrified. (A Cao is Koemon’s concubine, who committed adultery with Genjiro.) The text is as follows:

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. I want to see you again. But I can't get out, not for the rest of my life. Ah, it hurts so much, I can't breathe. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. I'm dying.I'm dying.Ah Cao, avenge me. It was Koemon Tamamura who buried me alive.revenge for me. Let that guy, and let that guy's descendants and grandchildren, experience the same pain as me.If his family is prosperous and prosperous, I will die with peace in my eyes.I will not rest in peace. I can't breathe, it's so painful, my chest is about to burst. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.

The notches on the red brick are of course not so orderly.The characters on the top are big or small, vertical, slanted or horizontal, intermittently engraving the pain before death, and Yucun finally deciphered it with the help of the faint firelight. "Now you know how cruel punishment your father used against my father in private, right?" A ghostly voice sounded.It turned out that there was a peephole in the iron gate, and Yuanzao's voice came from there. "Devil! It was your father who was unrighteous first. Defiled other people's wives and concubines, and deserved retribution. It is unreasonable for you to seek revenge from us. You are absolutely insane and crazy! Open the door and let us out!"

The vigorous Erlang couldn't hold back, he knocked on the iron door frantically and shouted. "Wahhahaha... Injustice? Defile other people's wives and concubines? You don't know the inside story, so don't interrupt me. The one who stole is your grandfather. I have investigated it clearly. He used money to steal love and robbed it abruptly." Someone else's lover. He seized love first, but instead accused the other party of injustice, and even drove the other party to a dead end. The evidence is that after his lover's whereabouts were unknown, Ah Cao also suffered from an unknown strange disease and became thinner day by day. Isn't it? Because Ah Cao couldn't bear the pain of continuing to be a concubine, Koemon simply kicked her out of the house.

"Actually, Ah Cao was pregnant at that time, and Koemon knew that it was the child of his lover Genjiro. This is a fact. "Ah Cao was unaccompanied and had to give birth in a humble courtyard. He died of illness not long after. The newborn baby became an orphan and was taken in by many families until he grew up. "With no parents, brothers, or relatives, I'm afraid you can't imagine how a lonely child will be treated. They can't go to school, can't fill their stomachs, work like cattle and horses from morning till night, and are punished inhumanely every time they move. Then Either someone else, or me who bears a tragic fate.

"I curse the world, especially Koemon, who made our mother and son fall into such a situation. I am alone in this big world, and I feel extremely lonely. I don't know how much effort I spent trying to find my father whose whereabouts are unknown. "Heaven pays off. I finally found this basement and saw my father's horrific skeleton. This happened when I was seventeen years old. I read the suicide note on the red brick, and only then did I know that Koemon is our enemy. He not only caused my mother and I to be in such a miserable situation, but also buried my biological father Genjiro alive. I swear to my father's bones that I must take revenge. Although Koemon had already gone to hell at that time, the blood and blood feud It can’t be dissipated. When the father died, there was still a son; when the son died, there was still a grandson. Day and night I thought about revenge on the Yucun family, and I would not let anyone go. Not only do I want you to taste what my father went through Suffering, but also to kill the descendants of the Tamamura family. I devoted my whole life to the revenge plan. I devoted myself to studying criminology books and poisons, and at the same time practiced shooting, learned from magicians, and learned acrobatics. Keep exercising, improving your wisdom, and trying all kinds of bitterness to save enough money for revenge.

"After nearly forty years of hard work, it has finally paid off. I have mastered the ability known as a magician by the world, and I have saved a fortune. So, I set out to promote the great cause of revenge. I believe that the plan will be perfect It went smoothly at my own pace. "Unexpectedly, when the revenge plan was about to start, there was an unexpected obstacle - Kogoro Akechi, an amateur detective. The guy came back from abroad and showed his skills in the 'Spider Man' incident. The opponent, I had to fight to the end with 12 points of energy. Because of his obstruction, my plan frequently went wrong. Whether it was when killing Taeko or killing Ichiro, he always appeared at the critical moment. To catch him unprepared, I even had to go against my original intention and attack people other than the Tamamura family.

"No, it's not just that the plan has been blocked. Now that I am in danger, I can no longer procrastinate. So, I decided to let everything end as soon as possible. In fact, I should have killed your children one by one, so that the living relatives will be full of fear And the pain, and then lure my father, who is dying of pain, to the basement, but I don't have time to follow the steps. This makes the fun plummet, but there is nothing I can do. Tonight is finally going to be the last scene. "My words are finished. Next, I will build a wall outside this door. This is what your previous generation taught me, just like what your father and grandfather taught me back then. Build bricks and bury you alive. "Enjoy the struggle before dying, and appreciate the pain my father went through." As soon as the demon's speech was over, the lid of the peephole snapped shut, and the sound of building the wall sounded again. At this moment, everyone finally understood the devil's motive for revenge, and his hardships of the past forty years were laid bare in front of the Yucun family.However, the devil didn't mention a word about his marriage, his wife's death, and his only child, Wen Dai.However, at that critical juncture, the four people in the basement shrouded in the shadow of death had no time to doubt it.In fact, as long as you think about it a little bit, it's suspicious.No matter how urgent he is to complete the revenge plan, as a father, how can he have the heart to lead his lovely only daughter to the path of crime?Ordinary people really can't understand his thoughts.Could it be that he doesn't love his daughter, or does he have other surprising hidden secrets?Is there an unfathomable attempt hidden in the impeccable devil, about Wen Dai, and even his marriage?
