Chapter 78 The Wicked God
When Asahi was a teenager, he saw a very handsome young man.
The young man had slightly curly black hair, bright and unique amber eyes, and pale, sickly skin, as if he were seriously ill and would collapse at the slightest push.
His father, Keiji Aso, was a good friend of the young man, and the handsome young man would visit his father about once a month.
This young man was always polite and gentle to everyone. When Asagi's father was not home, this young man would even tutor Asagi, take him out to play, and so on.
When Asahi couldn't sleep, if the young man was around, he would hide in the corridor and eavesdrop on his father's conversation with the young man.
Once, when he heard that this seemingly young man was actually over 30, he was so shocked that he could hardly stand up.
In addition, there were some things that shocked him quite a bit—
"Are you really going to marry her? She's your sister! I know your family has always been like this, but don't continue down this wrong path!"
“Our great God will not allow us to do such blasphemous things. Marrying outsiders is blasphemy against our family’s gods.”
"But……"
"Keiji, there's nothing we can do about it. If I blaspheme against the gods, my family will be punished."
...This is a conversation that Asahi overheard, and it deeply impacted his young mind.
……
"Keiji, my child is about to be born. I've named him 'Shu' (修), and I'll bring him to see you after he's born. Because after that, you might not be able to see me anymore. It's a pity that my lifespan is inherently short, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you any longer."
……
Asagi didn't know what happened next, because at that moment his father had already covered his face and started crying.
Aso Minoru had secretly asked his father, but Aso Keiji told him like a child, "Your brother Byakuya will be bringing his son to see us soon, because he is about to travel to a very, very far place, and he wants to say goodbye to us with his son."
Asagi knew that her father didn't want to upset her, so she didn't expose him. She just secretly prayed at night that the gentle and refined "Brother Baiye" would recover and no longer be tormented by his injuries.
But his prayers were ultimately in vain, unable to withstand the ravages of fate.
The kind "big brother" who was good to him is gone. He didn't even keep his promise.
After waiting for several months, Keiji Aso finally couldn't resist and took Nami Aso to the Byakuya family's mansion.
The Byakuya family mansion is located at the foot of a mountain in Tottori, and from the outside, it looks like a very luxurious villa.
But when the father and son entered the gate, they were met with a horrific scene—
Beneath the lavish villa lay several corpses, emitting a putrid stench under the sunlight.
The corpses all shared the same distinctive features: slightly curly black hair and pale skin.
After examining the bodies, Asagi confirmed the cause of death as suicide.
Some of them stabbed themselves in the throat with scissors, some had bluish-purple faces as if they had taken poison, and some had twisted limbs as if they had fallen to their deaths.
At the villa's main entrance, a pregnant woman with a swollen belly was hanging from a beam with a hemp rope. Her face was bluish-purple, and her body had long since emitted a foul stench, suggesting that she had been dead for some time.
Passing by the hanged pregnant woman, what comes into view is a human-shaped sculpture with sharp teeth in its mouth and wings on its back.
Next to the sculpture was a table, covered in crimson, on which were several pieces of white paper with the words "Please forgive us" written in blood.
Young Asagi vomited all over the ground.
The father and son hurriedly ran out of the villa and called the police.
Keiji Aso originally only wanted to bring his son to visit his friend, but he didn't expect to find several gruesome corpses.
Later, following the police's directions, Keiji Aso finally found his friend's... wife—
The beautiful woman died behind the sculpture, leaving behind a message written in blood.
[A wicked god]
……
An autopsy revealed that the woman had stretch marks on her abdomen, indicating that she had given birth.
But after searching the entire house, they couldn't find the child.
So... where did that child go?
Also disappearing along with the child was Keiji Aso's friend—that young man.
……
This trip to the Byakuya family mansion was something Asami would never forget for the rest of his life.
