"At that time, Sadako and the head of the Yanagisawa family were already dead. Only Hiroyuki Hiroe was sealing the bodies of the head of the Yanagisawa family and Sadako according to the formation notes passed down by the Yanagisawa family."

"Hiroe Hiroyuki is indeed a genius. He is just an ordinary person, but he was able to use his research on Sadako and the inherited notes of the Yanagisawa family to construct an interlocking seal using Mayumi Yanagisawa's body."

"But Guangjiang Bozhi is just a mortal after all. I have seen the seal. Guangjiang Bozhi cannot do that. So it was you who strengthened the curse. Why did you do that?" Zheng Wenjie said.

The Snow Girl fell silent, then she looked at Zheng Wenjie and Makoto seriously and said, "I am atonement... because I caused the end of Shizuko and Sadako. Sadako's body has turned into a horrible poisonous corpse. I reinforced the seal because I don't want to hurt more people."

"Then why did you spread the videotape around? Do you know how many people will die?" Makoto asked dissatisfiedly.

The Snow Girl shook her head and smiled: "I didn't mean to do that. This is my home. I just put the videotape where it should be in my home. It was the guests who were curious..."

Makoto snorted coldly and looked at the snow girl with disdain and said: "A monster is still a monster after all. No matter how disguised it is, it is still a vicious and cruel monster."

Nozaki had to interrupt Makoto. The most important thing for him at the moment was to break the curse: "Zheng-kun! Let's go back to Tokyo now! As long as we can liberate Sadako's body, the curse should be broken."

Makoto glanced at Nozaki without saying anything. Nozaki was just an ordinary person after all, and he didn't know the difference between the Grudge and the Curse. Even if Sadako's body was reincarnated, the Grudge would still exist. Otherwise, Makoto would not have never heard of anyone who had survived the curse of the Grudge.

Zheng Wenjie looked at Nozaki with a half-smile and asked, "But how do we deal with Sadako's body? If we want to fish Sadako's body out of the well, we have to break the seal. You just heard that once the seal is broken, the virus in Sadako's body will have no restrictions and will quickly erupt. Can you be responsible for the consequences?"

Nozaki hesitated for a while before speaking a little stutteringly: "This...sooner or later this seal will be lifted, and then the virus will break out. Let our generation face it in advance, isn't this a good thing for future generations?"

"No!" Makoto decisively interrupted Nozaki, looking at Nozaki as if he were a stranger, and asked in disbelief: "Have you ever thought about how many people would die if an outbreak occurs? So many people! So many families, how could the corpse poison break out?"

Makoto pointed at the Snow Woman and said to Nozaki angrily: "Even monsters know how much harm the outbreak of corpse poison can cause. How can you..."

"How can he consider the life and death of others when he is about to die?" Mitsuki grabbed Makoto's wrist and said with a sneer at Nozaki.

Nozaki argued, "This seal will explode sooner or later! According to the law of population growth, the longer it takes, the more people will die in the future! We can prepare in advance and let all departments cooperate to deal with the poisonous corpses. This is the best solution!"

"Then what? The curse on you has been broken, so it doesn't matter how many people die in the corpse poison outbreak, right?" Mitsuki snorted. If it were her choice, if the corpse poison outbreak could solve the curse on herself and Zheng Wenjie, she knew she would make the same choice as Nozaki. But this did not affect Mitsuki's sarcasm on Nozaki, because she couldn't stand Nozaki because of Makoto.

And she believed in Zheng Wenjie, who had shown an indifferent attitude towards the curse until now.

Miyue looked at Zheng Wenjie and asked, "Father, besides saving Sadako's body, is there any way to break the curse?"

Makoto's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Zheng Wenjie a little excitedly: "Mr. Zheng, please tell me quickly, is there any way for us to survive the curse of the Grudge?"

Nozaki and Songzi looked at Zheng Wenjie expectantly, and Xue Nu also chuckled: "I think it would be easy for Mr. Zheng to lift the curse, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zheng Wenjie said without comment: "I think what Nozaki-kun said makes sense. The poisonous corpse should not be left. It is a hidden danger. We should deal with the poisonous corpse now. This can not only solve the problem of the curse, but also deal with this hidden danger."

"Besides, according to what Nozaki-kun said, this matter can be completely endorsed by the special agent team. We have no intention of harming anyone. What we need to do is to try our best to prevent the corpse poison from leaking and erupting."

Nozaki couldn't help but smile and said with joy: "Zheng Jun is right! I don't deny that I want to break the curse on my body, but I am also worried that the corpse poison will break out sooner or later. Now that we have such a powerful exorcist like Zheng Jun, there is a chance to completely solve this matter. What reason do we have not to do it?"

After saying that, Nozaki looked at Makoto with a serious face and said: "Makoto... This matter is not just because of the curse on us. To be honest... If it was just me who was cursed, I might choose to die and would not let the poisonous corpses explode."

"But it's not just me. There are many people who have watched the videotape, and there will be more in the future! So we must break this curse! This is not just for myself."

Nozaki understood that in order to accomplish this, there was one more person who needed to be persuaded besides Zheng Wenjie, and that was Makoto.

If Makoto's sister Kotoko disagrees, this matter cannot be resolved. Even if it is reported to the special agent team, no one will agree! No one wants a tragic incident to happen while they are in office. Even if it is possible, the special agent team will not take the risk. Not only that, they will also try to suppress the matter.

Zheng Wenjie's words and Nozaki's persuasion, which was both emotional and moral, made Makoto let out a long nasal sound and asked weakly at the Snow Girl, "Sister Snow Girl! How did you remove the curse?"

The Snow Woman looked at Nozaki and Makoto with interest and then said, "It's very simple. Seven days after you watch this video tape, Sadako, the incarnation of the curse, will find you and kill you. But as long as she can't kill you, the curse will naturally be broken."

"Sadako is just a simple child, and this curse is not full of murderous intent. There are many ways to break the curse. The curse transformed by Sadako is the most gentle one I have ever seen." The Snow Girl said with emotion.

"Wait a minute! I'm confused now!" Makoto ruffled her hair again, looked at the Snow Girl, then turned to look at the leisurely Zheng Wenjie, and finally looked at Nozaki:

"Zheng Jun can remove the curse from us, right? Sister Xue Ji can do it, so there is no way you can't do it. So Zheng Jun, your idea is the same as Nozaki's, you want to get rid of Sadako's body and completely eliminate the curse?" Makoto shook his head fiercely and said, "This is impossible! Don't you know? Once a curse is formed, it will not be eliminated. Do you know how many curses there are in Japan? How many years have they existed?"

"No curse can be completely resolved. Even the Onmyojis Abe no Haruaki and Yaobikuni cannot do it. They can only make the medium of the curse disappear."

"I remember my sister said that there is no accurate explanation for the cause of all curses, but it is definitely related to the surrounding terrain and environment, that is, Feng Shui. A person with a lot of resentment died in a strange Feng Shui pattern. Legend has it that a god once created a curse in this way!"

"If we want to eliminate the curse, we must first destroy the ley lines, but this is simply impossible! The gods who once nurtured the curse couldn't destroy it, so why should we be able to do it!"

Makoto looked at Nozaki and said with gritted teeth: "So even if the seal of the well is broken and Sadako's poisonous corpse is reincarnated, the curse cannot be eliminated! If it is just for the sake of breaking the curse, don't even think about it! There is no way I will agree to it!"

Nozaki's face turned red and white when he heard this. He was just excited for a moment, thinking that if the curse could be broken, neither his child nor himself would be in danger.

That's why he was so excited that he spoke without thinking. In fact, he regretted the moment he said it. He thought Zheng Wenjie must have a way to lift the curse. Even if Zheng Wenjie had been looking at him like a monkey, he should not have said those words. But the words had already been said, and he could only keep making excuses for himself and explaining that he was not disregarding the lives of others because he was worried about his own life.

Makoto looked at Zheng Wenjie again: "Mr. Zheng! Why do you agree with Nozaki's method? You clearly know that even if you get rid of Sadako's poisonous corpse curse, it will never be eliminated!"

Zheng Wenjie spread his hands innocently and looked at Makoto and said, "Ms. Makoto, you may have misunderstood me. I only learned about the Grudge today after listening to Ms. Xueji. But regardless of whether the Grudge can be eliminated or not, I still think what Nozaki-kun said is right. Sadako's body is a hidden danger. If it is not resolved, something big will happen sooner or later!"

"Can't you solve it? Why have you been implying that Sadako's corpse poison will kill many people since the day we were at the Yanagisawa family's house? But it is obvious that an ordinary person like Hiroe Hiroyuki can seal the Yanagisawa family's ancestral house, and Sister Yukihime can also reinforce that seal. Zheng Jun is obviously more powerful than Sister Yukihime, so why doesn't Zheng Jun do it?" Makoto asked angrily.

Mitsuki didn't expect that Makoto would point the finger at Zheng Wenjie in the end. She couldn't help but raise her brows in anger and stood up to face Makoto: "My father came here with good intentions to save all of us! What's more, what's wrong with what my father said? Dealing with Sadako's body is a good thing for everyone! Why leave a bomb hanging over everyone's head?"

"Now, my father is kind-hearted and was able to dispose of the bomb. So what if people died? Those who died were for the safety of future generations. I don't think they would mind." Mitsuki looked at Makoto with a sneer.

"Since it can be sealed, Sister Yukihime can do it, and so can my sister! I will definitely be able to do it in the future too! There are also many exorcists. As long as the protection is perfect, there is no way that Sadako's corpse poison will break out!" Makoto said, staring at Mitsuki.

Mitsuki snorted and looked up at Makoto with contempt: "So what now? What do you want to do? Since you said that the curse will not be eliminated even if Sadako's body is dealt with, then let's not talk about the problem of the poisonous corpse for now."

"Tell me, what should we do to break the curse on us? As long as you can break the curse on us by yourself, I will believe you!"

Makoto's chest was shaking with anger. She instinctively wanted to look at Zheng Wenjie, but she held back and turned to look at the Snow Girl. "Sister Xueji, tell me! Is there any way to remove the curse on me?"

Seeing Makoto's hopeful eyes, the Snow Girl shook her head and said, "Makoto... apart from resisting the killing intent of the curse, I don't know any other way to break the curse."

"Just as you said, if the curse planted by the Grudge could really be broken so easily, you wouldn't have never heard of anyone surviving the curse of the Grudge."

"I remember your sister told me about this. There is an old house in Kyoto. If you step into it, not only will you die, but your friends and relatives will also be cursed and unable to escape. The house has been sealed and abandoned for more than 40 years. Even your sister won't go near it."

"Compared to the curse in that old house, Sadako is already a simple and well-behaved child. As long as you resist her attack in seven days, the curse will be broken and Sadako will not keep pestering you. If you need my help, go find Kotoko and let your sister protect you on the seventh day, and you will be fine."

Makoto looked unwilling and bit his lower lip tightly, tasting blood in his mouth.

"Ms. Makoto, I don't think I ever said that we have to get rid of Sadako's body to break the curse. Just like Ms. Yukihime said, the reason I'm not worried is because I can resist the attack of the curse."

Zheng Wenjie continued slowly, "I just think what Nozaki said makes sense, so I agree with his suggestion to dispose of Sadako's body. Why is Miss Makoto so angry? Is it because you are worried that the corpse poison will explode and kill many people?"

"I think you should look at this matter calmly, Ms. Makoto. Since you are worried that many people will die, you should think of ways to prepare to prevent deaths. Just like Nozaki-kun said, let all departments cooperate, clear out the surrounding residents, and try to prevent the corpse poison from leaking."

Makoto turned her head and looked at Zheng Wenjie stubbornly without saying a word, but her expression showed that she did not believe what Zheng Wenjie said.

Zheng Wenjie didn't care. Instead, he looked at Makoto with real emotion and said seriously, "So the curse of the Grudge is not important now. What's important is Sadako's body."

"Ms. Makoto, have you still not figured out how the Slit-mouthed Woman escaped from the seal?"

Zheng Wenjie's words not only stunned Makoto, but also Nozaki and Mitsuki, before they all reacted.

Zheng Wenjie looked at them and nodded, saying, "That's because the poison in Sadako's body is not only the mixed poison that Hiroyuki Hiroe researched, but also mixed with the resentment of the curse. The poison will continue to evolve, so even the seal will be eroded and a hole will appear, allowing the slit woman to escape." (End of this chapter)
