In fact, Yin Kuang's guesses, along with those of Lian Nishang, Beidao, and the others, had been eighty to ninety percent correct. When Zhu Tong's hatred erupted, she had drawn that wild Ju-On to herself like a black hole. And the Ju-On had shown no restraint whatsoever—wanting to devour more resentment, it directly fused with Zhu Tong's soul!
