"In other words, what we're facing now is an enemy that can disappear without a trace like in Final Destination, and the only person who could see the enemy left?"
After listening to Xiao Zhengyi's explanation of the basic situation, Chen Tuwa, as usual, half-opened his eyes and used his own words to summarize the current situation.
"Yes, although there are some discrepancies, that's pretty much it."
Xiao Zhengyi nodded and agreed with his conclusion.
"I haven't collected the bedsheets at home, so I'll leave first."
Therefore, Chen Tuwa turned around and left without saying anything else.
"Wait for me!"
Xiao Zhengyi and Ding Yang used military joint techniques, and the other hugged each other's legs, dragging the young man here.
"As a good young man of the new era, where's your patriotism?"
"It's rotting in the fields with my dreams. Right now, I'm just a salted fish. "
Chen Tuwa, who couldn't escape even after risking his life, gave up on useless efforts. He ignored the Emperor's Sword's sword spirit floating beside his head and said helplessly, "It's not that I'm belittling myself, but those things that appear without warning and leave without a trace are the most difficult to deal with. I don't think that a group of people like us can solve this problem."
"It's not that bad, right?"
Xiao Zhengyi smiled dryly and said, "We're just protecting an old man and making sure that the other party doesn't die from the curse before Old Xu solves the problem."
"It's easy to say …"
Chen Tuwa sighed. He once again ignored the Emperor's threatening words, "I'm not a group of people!" Emperor's Sword's sword spirit: "Logically speaking, the ending of Final Destination can be seen as complete annihilation. And as far as I know, there are more complete annihilation endings in curse-type horror movies … "
"Don't say that, you must be too nervous. How about playing a game and relaxing a little?"
Xiao Zhengyi placed the laptop in front of Chen Tuwa.
"This thing is the medium to spread the curse?" Chen Tuwa glanced at Xiao Zhengyi.
"How did you know?!"
Xiao Zhengyi was shocked.
He had only briefly explained to Chen Tuwa and the others the basic situation that they would have to face. He had only briefly mentioned the curse, not to mention the fact that the curse was spread through the game.
"Nonsense, I already said that it's a curse, so there must be some kind of medium to spread it. Plus, you're so eager to recommend me to play the game, and I'm guessing that you want to tie me to the same boat as you. Can't you guess …"
The contempt in Chen Tuwa's eyes had turned into disdain.
"Hmm, is it because my expression is too fiery? If that's the case, then I'll use a slightly calmer expression and …"
Xiao Zhengyi pretended to be crazy and showed a silly smile.
"Although it's hard to say, your expression is almost on the same level as the vomit of the sow in my hometown."
Chen Tuwa said seriously.
"Didn't you say it out loud without any hesitation?!" Xiao Zhengyi complained with an embarrassed expression, "Although I was in the wrong first, isn't your poisonous tongue a little too scary?"
"No, no, no, he's being merciful."
Ding Yang seemed to have thought of something and showed a very gloomy expression.
"There's something even scarier?!"
"Ah … I don't even want to think about the situation at that time …"
Ding Yang looked into the distance with empty eyes.
After a while, he came back to his senses and took out a hand-rolled cigarette from his pocket. He waved it at the others and said, "Does anyone want to smoke? This is a cigarette I made with spiritual herbs and tobacco. Not only is it less harmful to the body, but it's also good for cultivation … "
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen something like this. I'm embarrassed to accept it!"
The old Taoist who had been trying his best to pretend to be an ostrich jumped out and said happily.
Ding Yang generously gave the old Daoist a cigarette and even took out his lighter, intending to light it for the old Daoist.
At this moment, Chen Tuwa took a step forward and pulled the old Taoist priest away. At the same time, he shouted, "Son of Heaven!"
"Oh!"
Although he didn't know why Chen Tuwa called him, they had worked together for so long that they had a tacit understanding. Therefore, the Emperor's Sword Spirit, who was hiding in a corner and drawing circles because its owner ignored it, immediately reacted and appeared between the old Taoist and Ding Yang.
Almost at the same time, the high-end lighter in Ding Yang's hand suddenly exploded, and a ball of flame rushed toward the old Taoist!
However, the Emperor, who had been prepared, waved his robe and blocked it!
Because everything happened in the blink of an eye, the old Taoist didn't realize that he had just walked through the gates of hell until the ball of flame was blocked and gradually extinguished on the ground. Immediately, cold sweat seeped out of his forehead and back.
Ding Yang, who had almost turned his hand into roasted pig trotters, screamed in pain … If it weren't for the fact that he was half a step into the cultivation world and his body was much stronger than ordinary people's, his hand would have been crippled!
"Earth Kid, you know that the lighter exploded?"
Xiao Zhengyi, who had witnessed all this, revealed a surprised expression.
He saw very clearly that Chen Tuwa didn't save the old Taoist after seeing the problem with the lighter. Instead, the moment Ding Yang took out the lighter, he seemed to have understood something and pulled the old Taoist back, saving his life!
"It's just a guess, but it seems like I'm quite lucky to have guessed correctly."
Chen Tuwa grinned and said pretentiously with his Best Actor mode.
"I heard that the One Lesson Three Practice seems to be on sale recently …"
Xiao Zhengyi looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
This made Chen Tuwa shiver, and then he reluctantly said, "Actually, it's just a summary of the situation of the curse."
"The situation of the curse?" The old Taoist didn't understand, but because his life was at stake, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Didn't you just say that this kind of curse is triggered? The match in the trash can self-igniting, the high-voltage cable with electric sparks, the child throwing firecrackers into the manhole … Don't these three have a very obvious similarity? "
Xiao Zhengyi thought for a moment, but couldn't find the similarity.
In the end, Chen Tuwa could only sigh and reveal the mystery. "These three are more or less related to 'fire', right?"
"The second one is electricity, right?" Xiao Zhengyi asked in confusion.
"But people who die from electrocution will always have burns on their bodies, right?"
"The third one is just a child blowing shit up, right?"
"Blowing shit up is also related to the firecrackers igniting flammable gases such as methane in the manhole."
After hearing Chen Tuwa's words, Xiao Zhengyi suddenly felt that it made sense …
The first form of the curse that the old Taoist triggered was a spark from the computer's mainframe, and a large fire that directly ignited the entire building.
"Although I don't know the true nature of the curse, from this point of view, we just have to pay attention to things related to 'fire'."
Chen Tuwa saw that Xiao Zhengyi didn't seem to have anything to say, so he concluded.
"Speaking of which, when I played that death game, the character in it was indeed burned to death …"
At this time, the old Taoist added in a timely manner, increasing the credibility of Chen Tuwa's inference.
"As expected of a mud kid, it was the right choice to bring you along."
Xiao Zhengyi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Okay, then can I go back and collect the clothes now?" Chen Tuwa didn't look happy at all. Instead, he continued to ask.
"Didn't you say before that it was the bedsheet … Speaking of which, since you've already discovered the key point, then the work of protecting this old man should be much easier, right? Why did you choose to leave? "
Xiao Zhengyi asked Chen Tuwa in confusion.
Since they understood that the old man's curse was related to fire, then as Chen Tuwa said, they just had to pay attention to things related to fire. With this direction, the difficulty and danger of protecting the old man suddenly decreased. In this case, there was no need to leave here, right?
"So, Uncle Policeman, you still don't understand the seriousness of this problem."
Chen Tuwa sighed again, "Although it's just a small matter now, if this continues, maybe the curse will become more intense, and there will be more disasters to kill this old man."
"Speaking of which, a luxury apartment building has already been burned because of this."
Xiao Zhengyi answered honestly.
"There's such a thing? Then, the possibility of the curse bringing a truck with flammable and explosive goods directly to this place to cause an explosion isn't low, right? "
Chen Tuwa's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't know if the curse heard his words and thought 'So there's still such a thing', but in short, not long after he finished speaking, a truck appeared in front of everyone in the distance.
The cargo box at the back of the truck was ablaze with the word 'Explode' written in red on both sides of the box.
"What the f * ck, is this possible?!"
Chen Tuwa once again displayed his amazing calmness and reaction speed. The moment he saw the truck appear, he immediately turned around and began to run away.
His actions naturally caused the others who were still in a daze to wake up one after another, and they all began to run together …
However, those with two legs definitely couldn't outrun those with four wheels. Not long after, the truck had already reached a very dangerous point.
At this distance, even if the truck didn't hit them, just the explosion of the flammable and explosive goods in the truck would be enough to affect them!
At this moment, the fire hydrant on the side of the road was completely washed away. Several streams of water twisted into one, and then turned into a huge water ball buffer layer. It forcibly took the impact of the truck and absorbed it into the water ball, extinguishing the flames on the truck.
However, the goods in the truck itself might have the effect of an accelerant. After a while, the flames leaked out from the gap of the truck again and burned in the water ball, giving people a very strange feeling.
"This is …"
Xiao Zhengyi looked at the scene in front of him with a little dumbfounded.
"We were invited by Mr. Xu to help." At this time, a familiar voice came from behind, "Sorry, we're a little late."
Xiao Zhengyi turned around and found that the people who came were actually the master and servant from Japan, who had almost no sense of presence in Sakura Apartment. In addition, there seemed to be a young girl who had joined Sakura Apartment not long ago, who also had no sense of presence …
At this time, Chihaya Fukayama was trying hard to maintain the water ball — because her divinity was that of the Einherjar, the power to control water came from the incomplete divinity in her blood, so it was a little difficult for her to use the power of water.
"No, it couldn't be better if you could come and help."
Xiao Zhengyi was really relieved.
"This truck is going to explode." Chihaya Fukayama's face was red. She manipulated the water flow to get the unconscious driver out of the water ball and threw him aside, hoping that he could survive the explosion. "You have to go to a safer place."
"A safer place?"
Speaking of a safer place, Xiao Zhengyi subconsciously thought of Sakura Apartment.
Chihaya Fukayama freed her hand and pulled out a spray of water, drenching Xiao Zhengyi and the others. At the same time, it also created a small puddle under their feet.
In the next moment, this group of people all disappeared into the puddle — from the outside, it looked like they had sunk into a puddle less than a centimeter deep. It was a bit like a horror movie, but in fact, they were in a place that was second only to Sakura Apartment in terms of safety.
That was the Mirror World created by the young girl, Yue Zhengjing.
Then, the master and servant from Japan and Yue Zhengjing also entered the Mirror World.
In the next moment, the water ball, which had lost its divine power, could no longer contain the fire in the truck, so a deafening explosion sounded in this deserted street …
☆
Xu Shenxing, who was running, vaguely felt that he seemed to hear the explosion.
He didn't know if Chihaya Fukayama and the others could make it in time, after all, they were in a bit of a hurry.
In fact, it would be safer for Xu Shenxing to go over himself, but after understanding the true nature of the curse, he was confident that he could solve all of this in a short time as long as he made the most of the time.
Currently, he was moving around the whole of Jiang Jin.
To be exact, he was moving around the 20 or so properties of the deceased.
That's right, the initiator of all of this was not the female university student who created the death game, nor the comatose sister in the hospital, but the deceased who had knelt from the beginning, the Guild Master of the Black Dove Alliance …
Because the conspiracy was exposed too early, Xu Shenxing and the others fell into the wrong trap and wasted so much energy running around Jiang Jin.
According to the diary left behind by the female university student who created the game demo, the Guild Master was actually a mother fetish.
It wasn't the kind of attachment that most people would have towards their mother, but it was closer to Freud's perverted desire to fuck his mother.
Of course, as an adopted orphan, the object of his admiration was not his biological mother, but his adoptive mother who adopted him.
The reason for all of this started three years ago.
