Chapter 43 Entering, Ju-on!
Chapter 43 Entering, Ju-on!
Swah——
The familiar half-awake state.
When I opened my eyes, I found Zhang Jie still lying on the ground, and I didn't know if he was pretending to be asleep.
The setting was the same wooden building from the movie, a room that looked like a bedroom, with curtains fluttering in the wind, sometimes rolling up to reveal the view outside.
It was hazy, as if covered by a filter, with a grayish-white tone.
Fourteen newcomers lay sprawled on the wooden floor, and with the veterans added, there were a total of 20 people.
Looking up, I saw a short line of small print on my watch:
"Killing Kayako, the main body of the Ju-on, once will grant you a B-rank side quest and a reward of 5000 points. Surviving for 7 days will grant you 1000 reward points and allow you to return to the Main God Space."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jie quietly woke up, got up without making a sound, and slipped into a small corner.
Now, he pinned all his hopes on Chu Xuan. However, Chu Xuan had already broken through his mind control and was preparing to retire after this battle.
When Zhang Jie sees Chu Xuan suddenly die and say "I've been teasing you all along" before he dies, his expression will probably be quite something.
Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan, the Zero Point Overlord, woke up almost at the same time.
Although the Sunflower Consciousness had entered their minds, Bawang and Lingdian still maintained their original habits. After getting up, they immediately leaned together, keenly surveyed their surroundings, and once they confirmed it was safe, they simply raised their necks, crossed their arms, and entered a state of complete disregard for others.
Zhan Lan reacted much slower, swaying as she sat up. Seeing the densely packed crowd on the ground, she exclaimed, "My God! Fourteen newcomers! This…"
"The difficulty level is the highest for 20 people, no wonder the reward is so high." With Chu Xuan's reminder, everyone focused their attention on their arms again.
Upon seeing the reward, Zheng Zha's eyes lit up: "Wow! A B-rank side quest! If I can repeatedly kill Kayako, wouldn't I be able to unlock an S-rank side quest?!"
"Damn it! Let's finish this! After this job, brothers, you can eat dry food or soupy food! We'll eat one bowl and throw the rest away! Where's Kayako? Get out here and face your death!"
“…………”
Let's look at the newlyweds on the ground instead.
First, there was a short, flat-looking man in men's clothing with a round and delicate face. After standing up, he glanced around coldly, as if to confirm that none of the people in front of him posed a threat. Then, he picked up the book beside him, sat on the sofa, and began to read by himself.
She pretends to read a book, but she's actually illiterate. She's just putting on a pretentious artsy young woman persona, which fits the stereotypes that reincarnators like to contrive.
Not only Wang Lu was paying attention to the newcomers, but Chu Xuan had also started observing them long ago.
However, Chu Xuan was more interested in the newcomer's temperament.
Wang Lu, on the other hand, was focused on the newcomers' body parts—especially Zhao Yingkong's flat chest.
He observed it repeatedly, scrutinizing the frame carefully, and discovered that the magical breast wrap was indeed magical, as there was no clue whatsoever from its appearance.
Zhao Yingkong could naturally feel Wang Lu's gaze. At first, she curled her lips in disdain, but she didn't expect Wang Lu to look closer and closer. His naked gaze almost made Zhao Yingkong feel her body being touched.
"Have you seen enough?!"
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she glared fiercely at Wang Lu, returning his intensely piercing gaze.
Wang Lu chuckled.
Magic Eye, activate!
In that instant, Zhao Yingkong's breathing stopped, and her heart almost stopped beating as well. In that brief moment, her mind began to race.
Past events flashed through her mind until she came to her senses and found herself kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, her hair standing on end, her body ice-cold, as if she had died once.
She tried to stand up, but found her body incredibly weak, unable to lift a single muscle. Barely managing to lift her head, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Who are you? What did you do to me?"
Wang Lu's lips curled into a smile, making him look like a war god. He said, "I've enhanced my 'eyes that make anyone I glare at pregnant.' Anyone I target will become pregnant for no reason. You are pregnant now."
"!"
"Ugh~~"
For some reason, a feeling of nausea arose suddenly, and the urge to vomit made Zhao Yingkong freeze.
What happened?
She comes from a family of assassins and possesses some dubious information. She has even personally killed some people with strange and unusual abilities…
"You're asking for it!"
Enraged, she mustered all her strength and, in a single leap, at a speed that seemed incredibly fast to a normal person but indistinguishable from a snail to the Sunflower Man, rushed towards Wang Lu, her hand like a knife, aiming straight for his neck!
But Wang Lu simply opened his Demon Eye, and Zhao Yingkong, like a defeated dog, knelt on the ground with a thud, her hands supporting her weight, trembling.
Wang Lu held up two fingers: "Now they're twins."
"you!!"
Zhao Yingkong's face turned bright red, not from embarrassment, but from anger, and a hint of fear.
Where is this place? Who are these people?
……
A dozen seconds later, the burly man from Northeast China woke up, followed by all the other newlyweds. Except for the woman lying on the windowsill pretending to be asleep, with half of her white leg showing.
This group of people wasn't as tough as the colorful aliens. They started off making a ruckus, but after exchanging a few words with the people next to them, they continued to be confused.
Wang Lu: "Zhan Lan, go explain."
"Okay." Zhan Lan smiled slightly, revealing a very professional smile.
She quietly pulled Zhao Yingkong, who was kneeling on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes, away, and began with her classic line: "Think about it carefully, that thing has already implanted memories..."
"~~~Aba aba~~~gibberish~~~"
Her words elicited mixed reactions from the crowd. Some believed her, some didn't, but most didn't immediately rebel.
After hearing the notification from the main god that 100 coins had been credited to her account, Zhan Lan gave a smile and stopped wasting words. She returned to the team and waited for the quest to begin.
Among the newcomers, the burly man from Northeast China glanced around briefly and immediately declared, "What 'Main God Space'? That's utter nonsense! I was just doing business online, and I clicked on a pop-up ad and it was game over. How did I suddenly end up here?"
"Don't think I'm stupid! You guys used a tranquilizer dart to knock me out, then moved me to the house next to the internet cafe to intimidate me, right?! Don't fucking think it's creative. Let me tell you, this kind of trick is outdated!"
"That's right! Who's in charge? If you know what's good for you, let us go! There are so many of us, if we unite, we might not be afraid of you!" Another troublemaker joined the big man, inspiring everyone.
Wang Lu had no interest in this group of nameless good-for-nothings and shouted directly, "Who's Qi Tengyi?"
Qi Teng was taken aback when he was called, and then quickly raised his hand.
"It's me!"
"come to me."
"Okay! Okay!" Qi Tengyi was very obedient and ran over with small steps, without any suspicion.
The burly man from Northeast China shouted immediately, "Hey! Come back quickly! They're not good people! It's a honey trap!"
Qi Teng turned around and smiled, saying, "I suggest you believe them. The pattern on that wall is definitely in the style of 90s Japan."
"And as for implanting it in our brains, that's not something that ordinary technology can do. I advise you to stick with these experienced people."
He tried to dissuade the newcomer, but the burly man berated him: "Are you out of your mind? With technology so advanced these days, what's so strange about implanting information in someone's brain? Maybe it's just psychological magic..."
"Who are Passerby A, Soldier B, and Crowd D?" Wang Lu ignored the burly man and shouted out the names of the other three named NPCs.
"what?"
The three of them turned their heads blankly, their gazes reluctantly shifting away from Ming Yanwei, who was sitting on the windowsill.
"Come here, you three. I have taken pity on you and will protect you through this."
"No! We're not going there, we're staying with her! Unless you protect her too."
The three of them pointed in unison at Ming Yanwei, who was still sleeping.
