A strange and horrifying incident occurred in a quiet residential area.
Mr. N (42), a retired military veteran who now ran a general store, had closed his shop early that day to buy nourishing fruit as a gift for his daughter, C-chan (10), who had been absent from temple school due to illness.
He was heading home when he was greeted not by words of gratitude from his sweet daughter.
C-chan, who had been holed up in her room all morning without even seeing her mother, screamed and fell into a panic upon seeing Mr. N.
As Mr. N tried to calm her down, C-chan suddenly attacked him.
Despite his military background, Mr. N was powerless against his daughter’s unexpected assault and suffered severe injuries, including having his cheek bitten off.
Afterward, C-chan fled from the house and was found huddled in fear by a neighborhood well, where she was captured by the arriving guards.
Although she was relatively subdued at that time, she cried and incoherently claimed various things. She was taken into protective custody at the temple hospital.
The temple hospital declined to comment on the case, but it seemed they were investigating the possibility that C-chan might have been attacked by something evil, such as a demon or curse, in cooperation with the guards, with great care.
