The Electronic Curse Activates

The Demon Pig appeared and immediately surrounded all the remaining members of the reconnaissance team.

The encirclement gradually tightened.

The reconnaissance team members stood back to back, aiming their guns in every direction.

They were all intensely focused, because they had no idea what had appeared this time.

Before long, the Demon Pigs came into view.

A dense mass of them-over a hundred.

"Pigs? No! Wh-what kind of creatures are these?"

What had appeared once again went beyond the reconnaissance team's understanding.

Some of them had met the Demon Pigs' eyes.

They immediately began squealing like pigs and collapsed onto the ground.

The reconnaissance team had no idea what was happening.

But one thing was certain: these were no friendly creatures!

"Fire! Fire!"

Someone shouted, and they all pulled their triggers.

A series of lasers shot out. The Demon Pigs they hit melted away.

They turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished.

Only then did the reconnaissance team feel a little relieved.

At least these monsters could be killed.

But before long, they hadn't even had time to relax.

A man with a pig's head appeared, wearing a strange smile that sent chills down their spines.

He held a kitchen knife in his hand and spoke in a leisurely tone:

"Time to bring in another haul."

He was so bizarre, but they had no time to examine him closely.

The instant the Pig-headed Butcher appeared, the reconnaissance team, nerves on edge, pulled their triggers without hesitation.

A series of lasers shot out, hitting the Pig-headed Butcher.

His body didn't melt away outright.

But it was shattered, and something black, like blood, poured out.

Yet the Pig-headed Butcher seemed unable to feel any pain.

Still wearing that calm smile, he walked toward them step by step.

His behavior put them under immense pressure.

Could this be some kind of immortal creature?

But they didn't stop attacking. Soon, the Pig-headed Butcher's body was riddled with holes.

He collapsed to the ground, and his body turned into a pool of black liquid before vanishing.

The reconnaissance team members were thrilled. They had killed it after all!

It wasn't immortal!

But they failed to notice something.

Where the Pig-headed Butcher had died, a smiling Pig Head Mask remained.

The mask twitched, and black tumors sprouted from it, multiplying rapidly.

Like a balloon, it expanded to ten meters in an instant.

The reconnaissance team stared in shock. What was this now?

How had something like this appeared out of nowhere again?

Still, they pulled their triggers without hesitation.

Beams of laser fire shot out.

But when they hit, they only broke through a thin layer of skin on the outside.

And then the huge tumor turned.

A face identical to the pig-headed man's appeared before them.

The next instant, the entire tumor transformed into a giant pig!

The pig-headed man they had just killed had become a gigantic pig and come back to life!

After transforming, the Pig-headed Butcher charged straight at them.

Its attributes had skyrocketed, and it was like a speeding tank.

It crashed down on one of the reconnaissance team members.

His exoskeleton was crushed, and the gigantic pig's head immediately burrowed into his body.

Biting, gnawing, swallowing, his agonized screams, and the sound of blood spraying all mingled together.

The reconnaissance team kept attacking, their lasers striking the Pig-headed Butcher.

But the damage was greatly reduced, and it was feeding now.

The wounds on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Pig-headed Butcher quickly ate one person, then dragged its massive body toward another reconnaissance team member.

With the Demon Pigs they couldn't spare any attention for, their numbers dwindled rapidly once again.

The remaining reconnaissance team members were plunged into fear again.

What kind of creature was this now?

It just couldn't be killed!

The reconnaissance team leader, injured but still alive, cried out in a trembling, halting voice:

"Go! Run! Get out of here!"

They immediately fled again, with the Pig-headed Butcher and the Demon Pigs chasing after them.

They deliberately steered the team's escape route.

The team had fled toward the small house where Tomie was.

Soon, the reconnaissance team members spotted a small house on the plain ahead.

They ran toward it too, and the Pig-headed Butcher and the others stopped chasing them.

At that moment, Tomie walked out of the house.

The reconnaissance team members hadn't noticed that the Pig-headed Butcher and the others had stopped pursuing them.

Now they saw someone coming out of the house ahead and feared it might be another strange monster.

So they immediately went on guard, even preparing to shoot her dead.

But when they noticed Tomie's appearance, they immediately forgot all the hostility they had just felt.

There was only one thought in their minds: this woman was so beautiful!

But soon, they belatedly remembered the Pig-headed Butcher chasing them from behind.

They immediately turned around, only to find that it had completely disappeared.

Tomie had also come up to them by then.

With a sweet smile, she said, "You're safe now. Those things won't come here."

Only seven members of the reconnaissance team remained.

Only then did they turn back and get a good look at Tomie.

So pretty, so beautiful!

That was the first thought that surfaced in their minds.

Only afterward did they ask, "Are we safe? Beautiful lady, do you know what those things are?"

Tomie nodded. "They're creatures of this world. Don't worry, I know a safe way out. I can take you away from here."

The members of the reconnaissance team were already completely captivated by Tomie's beauty.

They didn't find anything strange about her identity or the fact that she lived here.

"Then can you take us away? If we make it back, we'll definitely thank you!"

The reconnaissance team leader spoke excitedly.

"We just need to cross that forest. I'll take you there."

Tomie pointed toward the forest where Sadako was and led the way.

They looked at the forest. It was the one they had avoided entering earlier.

Could that forest actually be safe?

They immediately followed Tomie.

They entered Sadako's forest from another direction.

The temperature there dropped sharply again, as if it were winter.

Along the way, Tomie chatted with them.

Whenever she asked them a question, they answered without holding anything back, competing to be the first to respond.

It seemed they wanted to attract Tomie's attention.

And when Tomie said she was planning to leave with them...

They all agreed wholeheartedly.

Then Tomie let out a soft laugh and asked, "You're investigating this place. Can I help you record things?"

The members of the investigation team immediately handed Tomie the recorder.

Tomie took it, flashed a smile, and nimbly filmed here and there.

As she passed a withered well, she pointed the recorder inside.

She successfully recorded Sadako.

The Electronic Curse began to take effect!

All she had to do now was let these people leave and take the recording back with them!
