Chapter 115 A Newcomer Who's Courting Death!
"By the way, what's our mission?"
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Zhan Lan quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the tasks on their watches. There were two tasks: the first was to survive for seven days, and the second was to kill Kayako, the main body of the Ju-on, once to obtain a B-level side quest and a reward of 5,000 points.
"A B-rank side quest? Reward points—five, five thousand?"
After reading the mission details, Zhang Jie immediately shouted excitedly, "Damn it, let's go for it! A B-level side quest plus 5,000 reward points, it's worth risking our lives! After we finish this job, we'll have two bowls of rice, eat one and throw the other away—"
The oppressive atmosphere was immediately dispelled by Zhang Jie's words; he was clearly doing it on purpose.
"It's not that simple. A cat-like alien worth double C level almost wiped us all out. Kayako is definitely much more terrifying than the cat-like alien; she won't be so easy to deal with."
Although Zheng Zha said that, he was no longer as discouraged as before.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the others remembered the horror of the cat alien and fell silent again.
No one expected that in just the third horror movie, they would encounter a supernatural horror movie where everyone is killed. Does the God really want them to die?
The newcomers also began to awaken one after another. Seeing this, Zhan Lan explained the matter of the Main God Space to them as usual.
"Damn it, you say this is heaven? I absolutely believe this is heaven!"
Just as everyone else was lost in their own thoughts, a loud shout came from the newcomer.
"I was just doing business online, and I only clicked on a pop-up 'GG' window. How did I suddenly end up here? Damn it, don't think I'm stupid. You guys knocked me out from behind with a tranquilizer dart, then moved me to the house next to the internet cafe to intimidate and extort money from me, right? Don't think you're being creative. Countless people have already tried this—"
The speaker was a burly man from Northeast China. His voice caught Lin Yu's attention, but not his; it was the other newcomers.
[Did Ming Yanwei still come here?]
Among the newcomers, there was a sexy beauty who looked very much like Ming Yanwei in the original novel, which made Lin Yu feel a little depressed. Didn't what he did before change her fate?
However, this is actually normal, since no one knows exactly when that incident happened. It might have already happened before Lin Yu took action, so it's not surprising that he couldn't change it.
Since that's the case, there's nothing Lin Yu can do. He's done his best, and Ming Yanwei can only be considered unlucky.
Shifting our attention to the other newcomers, two of them were behaving strangely. One was reading a book as if no one else was around, and the other was carefully observing the room. These should be Zhao Yingkong and Saito Ichi. Among the newcomers this time, only these three are worthwhile.
Of course, the most valuable one is Zhao Yingkong. She is already a fully-fledged combatant, and with a little training, she can become the backbone of the team. As for the other two, they are only worth training.
After the burly man from Northeast China finished arguing, he led the way downstairs, and five other people followed him.
[seek death!]
Lin Yu glanced at the group of people but paid them no attention.
Besides Ming Yanwei, Zhao Yingkong, and Qi Tengyi, three other young people also stayed. However, judging from the way they were staring intently at Ming Yanwei, almost drooling, that was probably why they didn't leave.
Seeing the burly man from Northeast China leave, Zhan Lan was about to speak up to persuade him to go, but Zheng Zha grabbed her arm and said, "Let them go. This is the first supernatural horror movie we've ever seen. We can barely protect ourselves, let alone others. Besides, they don't trust us, so there's no need to persuade them to stay."
"1
How to describe Zheng Zha? Sometimes he is indeed very clear-headed, knowing not to pay attention to others who are courting disaster, but other times he is too naive and actually believes in human nature.
"I'm starting to believe you guys. It really is a Japanese-style room, the kind that was popular in Japan ten years ago."
The young man, who had been observing his surroundings, sighed.
"I'd rather not believe you, but my gut feeling tells me you're telling the truth. Ju-on, I really don't want to run into that thing."
The sexy woman, who was suspected to be Ming Yanwei, spoke up. Her tone was filled with fear, clearly indicating that she was terrified of ghosts or similar things.
[Strange, Ming Yanwei shouldn't react this way. Could it be that she's not Ming Yanwei? Or is there some other reason?]
If it were the Ming Yanwei from the original story, she would have already lost all hope and the will to live, so naturally she wouldn't be afraid of any ghosts or monsters.
Just as Lin Yu was about to ask a question, a woman's voice suddenly came from downstairs. It was in Japanese and should be a character from the movie. Since he could interact with the character, it meant that the horror movie had already started.
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept over everyone present. Lin Yu frowned, sensing something similar to "yin energy" within his body. He then used the power of thunder magic and the Golden Light Mantra to attack the yin energy, but it had no effect.
Lin Yu was not surprised. This yin energy should just be a mark, so it was difficult to remove unless there was a huge difference in strength. Kayako should also be at the third level, so it was normal that she couldn't remove it.
Apart from Lin Yu and Zheng Zha, the others did not seem to sense the chilling aura. However, Zheng Zha trembled violently after noticing it. Without thinking, he took out a submachine gun from his pouch. The gun was loaded with spirit bullets, and he raised it and swept it towards the attic on the second floor.
Gunshots rang out, and the attic was instantly shattered. The others looked at Zheng Zha in bewilderment, wondering why he had suddenly fired at the attic.
"Calm down, it's just Kayako's mark."
Lin Yu patted Zheng Zha.
"Lin Yu, you felt it too?"
"Um."
"Sorry, I got a little excited."
Zheng Zha put the gun away, still thinking it was Kayako's attack.
"Did you two sense something?"
"I can't believe it," Zhan Lan asked, puzzled.
"I also felt a chilling aura."
Zero spoke up from the side.
Lin Yu was not surprised. He had been practicing the Golden Light Mantra for quite some time and was quite sensitive to this kind of sinister power.
"I also sensed something was off."
The Overlord also spoke up.
The Overlord also sensed it, which surprised Lin Yu a little. It seems that it was because of the werewolf bloodline that the Overlord was able to sense something. Normally, a low-level enhancement would not be able to sense the mark of a monster of Kayako's level.
"Just now, Ju-on left a mark on us. Real ghosts can't know everything, so if they didn't leave a mark, they wouldn't be able to find us later."
Lin Yu explained to everyone.
"If we can remove this mark, will we no longer be attacked by vengeful ghosts?"
"I asked, Zhan Lan."
"Yes, but it's difficult. Instead, let's think about how to defeat Kayako."
