The next day, everyone started to act according to Chu Hao's instructions. Two teams split up and followed the twelve surviving rookies. The other team began to search for information about the Malicious Ghost Screening, including the screenwriter, director, investors, actors, and so on. Just like that, they began their respective operations.
On the other side, the twelve rookies were in a lot more pain than Chu Hao and the others. As soon as they entered this world, Chu Hao told them about the Lord God, the world of reincarnation, and so on. He also said that they would enter a horror movie world. This made them confused. They couldn't figure out anything else. Not only were they skeptical, but they also allowed Chu Hao and the others to leave the movie theater in the chaos. When they realized it, Chu Hao and the other veterans had already disappeared.
At first, they thought that it was a prank or a sitcom, but then they discovered a great horror in the movie theater. It was a female ghost, or a group of ghosts? They couldn't figure it out either. They only knew that it was a very terrifying ghost. This ghost had killed a few rookies, leaving only the twelve of them to escape the movie theater and run down the street.
After running until they were about to collapse, the group barely stopped. They were not familiar with these streets to begin with. After running for a while, they could not find where they were. Furthermore, it was early in the morning. Other than the street lamps, the surroundings were pitch black. The group of people did not dare to wander around. They found an empty place with the most street lamps and waited for dawn. Fortunately, no ghosts appeared during this period, which made them feel slightly relieved.
Then, after settling down slightly, they began to discuss. Some people decided to look for the police, but more people obviously rejected this suggestion because they had really seen ghosts. They also began to refer to the horror movies they had watched before. Generally speaking, if people who saw ghosts ran to the police station and said that there were ghosts, they would definitely be treated as mentally ill. Furthermore, they also saw the words on the surrounding streets. Some of them recognized that they were Thai. They were all from Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, so they did not have passports to enter the country. Just this alone would not be able to explain themselves if they went to the police station. Furthermore, if they said that they had encountered ghosts, they would most likely be locked up.
This group of people believed that if they were locked up in a small cell, they would not even be able to escape if they ran into a ghost. Even if they called the police, they would only be able to protect them from a real threat. Would the police be able to threaten a ghost? Therefore, going to the police was the most stupid thing to do. It was almost like walking into a trap.
At this point, this group of people had two common understandings. The first was that they absolutely could not look for the police. The second was that they had to find Chu Hao and the other veterans immediately. After all, if there was really a God, a World of Samsara, and magic could really be strengthened, then this group of veterans could probably fight against ghosts and monsters. The second was that they absolutely could not be separated. It could be seen from those movie plots that people who were separated often died the earliest. At this time, they had to gather together. Maybe they could survive until the end of the time indicated on the watch.
Just like that, the group of twelve rookies started to move together. However, their biggest problem was that they did not have money. This was Thailand, and they did not have the legal currency of Thailand. When they finally survived until morning, they were all tired and hungry. In the end, they finally found a bank and used the few Euros they had to exchange for Thai Baht. Then, they barely survived …
Chu Hao used various social connections and money to clear the way. When he found this group of people, it was already noon that day. When he found them, the twelve people were sleeping soundly in the living room of a hotel suite. Oh, it should be eleven people. While they were sleeping, one of them had already disappeared, and in a large closet in the living room, a row of black footprints came out from the closet …
On the other side, Xi Kong and the rest also used money to clear the way. With Stern's various methods, they started to search for all kinds of information about the Specter Will Reflect. That night, they returned to the five-star hotel, but they did not see Chu Hao and Tier. Only Zhang Heng was watching an AV in the living room alone …
"Er … I was just randomly looking for a channel just now. I happened to see a romantic action movie, so …"
Both Tom and Steri showed an expression that said, "You know what I mean." Xi Kong, on the other hand, glanced at Zhang Heng coldly, asking him to lower his head and turn off the TV obediently. After that, she asked him about Chu Hao's whereabouts.
"Chu Hao is still there with Tier. He said that every detail is very important, and the most important is the last twenty-four hours. That is probably the moment when the final meme will explode. The time before that is actually the time to find a way out. He wants to find a way out, so he asked me to come back first … Actually, I saw that he was feeling guilty, so I wanted to see the death of the newcomers with my own eyes. It was to be vigilant and remember it, and then bear the burden of it all. That idiot …" Zhang Heng said helplessly.
The rest were silent. They then explained their situation. They had indeed found the director, scriptwriter, and other crew members, but what made them curious was that these people were still alive. In the original plot, these people were supposed to be killed by the Specter at the beginning of the plot. Furthermore, there was another point. During the shooting process, no actors died, and all the crew members were still there.
Tom said as he ate, "It's very possible that the crew secretly hid the death of this Specter and threw its body in the wilderness. That's why this Specter was born. No wonder its resentment was so strong. Perhaps as long as we find its body, we can get rid of it?"
The rest of the people agreed with this statement. Only Chu Hao, who knew about their information through the phone, felt his heart sink …
It was a twenty-person horror movie, how could it be so simple? If they could solve everything as long as they found the corpse of the evil ghost, then any team with a little bit of common sense would be able to complete the task. It was impossible for the difficulty of twenty people to appear at once. There must be some other trap, but they did not discover it. What exactly was this trap?
With insufficient information, Chu Hao was helpless. He could only continue to film everything in front of him and record it in TIER's memory chip. He recorded … the depths of his heart. The deaths of everyone in front of him seemed to accuse him of being powerless … Time flew by quickly.
Soon, it was the last twenty-four hours. During this period, there were only seven rookies left. Including Zhang Heng, Tom, and company, they were attacked by the Specters. However, the protective props exchanged by the Lord were really worth every penny. The Specters were reduced to ashes before they could even approach them. Although there were more attacks later, this proved the effectiveness of the Specters' protective props. It also made Zhang Heng and company feel relieved. In comparison, the rookies would basically die when they encountered the Specters. What was curious was that the Specters' attack frequency was not high. In the last twenty-four hours, there were only so many deaths …
Finally, in the last twenty-four hours, Chu Hao led Zhang Heng and company back to the cinema. The remaining seven rookies were led by a bespectacled young man. Just as everyone expected, this group of rookies clearly showed hostility towards Chu Hao and the other veterans. Although they did not attack or speak ill of them, it was inevitable that they would be sarcastic. This situation only stopped when the Specters attacked again. This time, the Specters' attack was blocked by the protective props they exchanged. The rookies' eyes were filled with shock, joy, and a hidden hatred. Everyone sat on the seats in the hall and waited for the final moment. Everyone could imagine that it would be the most violent Specter attack …
Just like that, time passed while everyone was on tenterhooks. During this time, Chu Hao did not attempt to explain anything. He only held two pistols that were filled with spirit-type bullets. He also had a Spell Model that was constantly brewing in his mind. He was prepared to attack the final BOSS at any time. It was the same for the others. The veterans communicated with each other while the rookies communicated with each other. They minded their own business.
Then, it was the final moment. There were only a few minutes left before they returned. The Specters' attacks were still based on frequency. They were neither fast nor slow. It was basically impossible for them to pose any threat to the group. Upon seeing this, everyone became more and more nervous. A fat middle-aged woman among the rookies even fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. It looked like her heart and lungs were having problems due to excessive stress.
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Only the bespectacled young man seemed to be preparing to do something, but from the looks of it, he clearly did not know how to give first aid. He was just anxious. Chu Hao sighed and walked to the fat middle-aged woman's side to perform CPR on her. Under the complicated gazes of all the rookies, the woman woke up.
The bespectacled man looked at Chu Hao with a complicated expression. He then looked at his watch. There were only about ten seconds left. He said silently, "Even so … we won't …"
"I know …" Chu Hao walked away without looking back. Then, he said in a voice that only he could hear, "I know."
As he said that, everyone fell into a half-awake state. The Lord God's mission time was finally over …
Return …
