He can't repair the wall himself so he decides he'll dig out the corpse, bury it on the grounds, and just say that the wall collapsed during the earthquake.

Oshikiri's parents are coming back for a visit, so he needs to get rid of the corpse that he found in the wall. However, the mummified body has been there too long for the alternate Oshikiri to have been responsible.

Oshikiri does not want to call the police because, further to the events of the previous story, his counterpart from an alternate universe murdered three of Oshikiri's friends and buried them on the grounds of the house. Oshikiri checks behind the picture, but there is no sign of the wall being sealed, even though he's sure it is the same spot. The wall now has a picture hanging there and Oshikiri figures that the man was cut in half, and the picture was hung to hide where his mutilated remains had been. He comes across a photo of a man whose upper body is sticking out from the wall. Oshikiri begins researching into his family history, trying to find out why the dead body was inside the wall. He is shocked to discover a mummified corpse inside the wall. Oshikiri stays the night with Takayuki, but when he gets home the next day, part of the wall has collapsed during the earthquake. There is suddenly a violent earthquake, and Takayuki and Oshikiri shelter under the table. He visits his cousin Takayuki, who suggests that his father clear it with Oshikiri's parents for Oshikiri to move in with the family. Recently, Oshikiri has begun to hear what sounds like insects crawling within the walls. He is beginning to regret his decision to stay in Japan alone while his parents moved overseas for work. Oshikiri has been suffering from hallucinations and believes that there is a living presence in his house. Further Tales of Oshikiri: The Wall is the sixth chapter from volume nine of the Horror World of Junji Ito Collection, Hallucinations.
