After hearing Kayako's words, Lin Ze was able to guess what Kayako had suffered. He knew very well that every decision he made would create a different future, and these futures would have different outcomes. The Grudge would definitely come for him, and it did come, but the Grudge underestimated Kayako's love for him. By chance, Kayako's true nature was awakened by him.
His hands were covered in sticky blood that seeped from Kayako's body. Lin Ze ignored it and said, "No one is good to another person for no reason. I also like Kayako very much, otherwise why would I be good to her for no reason? I hope to have a beautiful future with Kayako!" Lin Ze placed Kayako's hand on his heart, his voice growing softer, and then he lowered his head.
Kayako's tears gradually stopped, she stared at Lin Ze blankly, the kiss on her lips was fleeting, but it was enough! It was enough! She was still willing to believe Lin Ze, even if the result was her soul being scattered.
"I will use the future to prove my words, and please join me in that future, Kayako." Lin Ze's mouth was stained red by the blood on Kayako's lips, a faint trace of bloodiness entered his mouth, making him lick his lips involuntarily.
Seeing Lin Ze's actions, a strange sense of shyness appeared on her blood-stained and pale face. She gently pressed her forehead against Lin Ze's chest, "I believe you."
The deceased Kayako was a vengeful spirit, resentment, a curse, the Grudge! The Grudge was one entity, but the living Kayako were independent. All Kayakos would become the Grudge. No matter whether Qin Zi could do anything about the Grudge, Lin Ze wanted Kayako to be happy until she grew old. He wanted to break the curse. He guessed that when the curse of the Grudge was broken, the timeline would start to converge. At that time, the Kayako in front of him would no longer exist, but the Kayako in the real world was her, and she would get a good future!
As his emotions gradually calmed down, Lin Ze curiously asked Kayako, "By the way, Kayako, did you kill that girl, Hanako?"
Unexpectedly, Kayako shook her head, "No, Hanako was my first female friend, I didn't want to hurt her, but she wanted to hurt you, so I locked her in my world."
Lin Ze nodded, no wonder the other party was able to escape in front of Kayako last time. Kayako's ability was simply incredible, it seems that she deliberately let her go, "Kayako, what's your situation now? Where are you usually?"
Kayako leaned against Lin Ze, closing her eyes and said, "Lin Ze, I am very powerful now. I am usually in Kayako's subconscious, and I can come to your consciousness from there."
Lin Ze noticed a deep cut on the back of Kayako's head, the blood on her face came from there, her arms were also covered with large and small wounds, although he couldn't see her abdomen, but from the white dress that was full of densely packed cuts and stained black-red with blood, one could see how serious it was.
"Did... I do this..." Kayako opened her eyes, looking at Lin Ze who was full of self-blame. Kayako suddenly laughed, her hoarse, strange voice made her laughter terrifying, "Hehe, it's okay, it wasn't Lin Ze who did it, so you don't need to blame yourself." She wouldn't blame this Lin Ze, even the one who killed her, now she didn't hate him that much anymore. "Tell you a secret, actually I didn't react to the first knife, and it didn't hurt after the second one, so don't worry about me."
Lin Ze fell silent, his breathing became heavier. Kayako seemed nonchalant, but how could she not be in pain? She didn't react to the first knife, and it didn't hurt after the second one, that's because she was already dead! The Grudge would make these wounds never heal, the pain would only stay forever! This would only make Kayako's resentment stronger.
"Take you to see where I stay." Kayako suddenly proposed.
Lin Ze knew Kayako was changing the subject, he nodded, then was pulled towards the wall by Kayako. There, dark, dense threads began to extend, wrapping around the two of them, "Don't be afraid." "I won't."
Wrapped up together, Lin Ze and Kayako held hands tightly. Now Lin Ze knew that the black lines were indeed hair. At this thought, Lin Ze suddenly felt his eyes go dark, then he felt a momentary sense of weightlessness, he stumbled, and Kayako laughed and helped him steady himself.
It was pitch black all around, endless darkness above, below, left and right, but strangely, Lin Ze could still see Kayako in the darkness. Looking at his own body, it seemed to be emitting a faint glow, as if the whole world was swallowed up by darkness, leaving only them two. A dead silent space, desolate and bleak, this was Kayako's inner world, and Lin Ze became the only light in this moment.
"This is the place." Kayako suddenly disappeared, then appeared behind Lin Ze, clinging to him tightly.
"Lin Ze... I want... I just want you to stay by my side like this. I don't mind if you have other people around you, but I'm afraid you'll forget about me." Some morbid words came, after emotional satisfaction comes desire. At this moment, Kayako's morbid heart was a little bit wanting to be exposed.
"Do you know... how much I love you? Just stay with me like this, okay, please."
Lin Ze grabbed Kayako's hand, turned his head slightly to look at her, "I'm willing, but Kayako, I want to save you more. I don't want this to be a dark place. I hope it's full of light, like over there, there will be a house for us, that will be our home, and over there, do you like cats? We'll open a cat cafe and keep lots of cats there."
Kayako's eyes grew brighter and brighter with Lin Ze's words. She wanted! She wanted that kind of future!
"I hope our memories are full of beautiful things, the things Kayako likes, the things she likes to do, we will always do them together, and in the future, we will also have our own children, we will raise him, and then spend our lives together." Lin Ze's soft voice made Kayako fall into a fantasy. Wasn't this the kind of life she wanted with Lin Ze?
At this moment, Lin Ze was like a devil who seduced people, his low voice kept teasing Kayako's lonely heart. He gently placed a kiss on Kayako's cheek, "This needs me to work hard in the real world, and Kayako just waits to witness it, okay?"
The desire for a good life suppressed the desires in her heart, Kayako nodded heavily, "Then I will try my best to endure it."
"It's okay, Kayako can come to me in her dreams when she misses me. Otherwise, I will miss you too if it's too long."
"Okay!"
Lin Ze slowly opened his eyes on the bed, there were still some things he didn't ask clearly, but who knew Kayako just smiled and said she had to go to school and then he woke up. The talisman on the bedside table turned into ashes the moment Kayako appeared with the power of the Grudge, and the magic artifact had also shattered.
Lin Ze touched his heart, before he woke up, Kayako had placed her hand on his heart, "I left my mark here, I need a medium to descend in the real world, but in the dream world, you can contact me anytime, I am in your heart."
ps: I'll explain to everyone some of the confusing parts. Draw a horizontal line on the world where Lin Ze is, the end point is the Grudge, and Lin Ze is a time traveler! His line is the only one! All the branch lines should not exist, the story is driven by Lin Ze's path, but the Grudge caused countless branch lines to appear on this line, when the Grudge disappears, then all the influences will return to the original rhythm. As for the rest, please keep watching patiently, everything will be explained in the plot slowly, some things will be changed for the sake of plot coherence! Please feel free to watch!
