" “……Yeah, that’s right.”"
"Hearing this, Zhu Wan hesitated for a moment, and then, with her bizarre gray-white eyes, swept around the surroundings once again, before finally nodding and saying, 'Alright.'"
"Since leaving the Curse of the Ningyo Cottage, I have been able to see many things similar to deadness in the air around me, and as I walked along, these deadness seem to have gathered in this place."
"Oh, really?"
"Chǔ Xuān muttered to himself, looking up at the dilapidated shrine in front of him, as if it had been a long time since it was last tended. A rare hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes."
In the original work, Chu Xuan once told Zheng Zha and others that he is not good at analyzing horror movies.
Although this was a dodge, there was also a part of the truth.
After all, as a scientific researcher, Chu Xuan has always approached all supernatural phenomena from a scientific perspective, observing and analyzing them to find ways to break them.
For instance, "Jyunbi," which is a pure spiritual horror film. There are many versions and spin-offs of it under the main deity, and Chu Xuan had watched all of them before coming.
And this time, the "Jyuonmu" world entered by the Zhongzhou team is the most classic first installment.
The plot of this film is not complicated.
To put it simply, a man named Soba Gou Ken, believing that his wife had an affair and out of anger, tortured and murdered his wife - Qun Niang's main female character Ga Ya Hei.
Ga Ya Hei, who was wrongly accused and died, generated an extremely strong resentment in her heart and became a ghost to kill off Soba Gou Ken as well as her childhood lover, Shoji Shinjou.
After completing all this, Ga Ya Hei returned to the house where she lived, enslaved Soba Gou Ken's soul and her already suffocated son Soba Jun Jen, becoming a spirit that is bound to the place. She then cursed every person who entered the house...
By this point in the story, it follows the traditional horror film trope, with nothing new to discuss. Most ordinary people would only feel that although it is scary, there is nothing new.
But Chu Xuan is different. As a serious researcher, after watching the movie in reality, a question popped into his mind.
What made Ga Ya Hei so strong?
Just by what is shown in the movie, Ga Ya Hei possesses immortality, instant teleportation, invisibility, illusion creation, and time control... numerous incredible and unexplainable superpowers.
In the "Infinite Horror" version, she has additional abilities such as having duplicates, attacking targets' internal organs, and body enlargement, which basically make her unstoppable and invincible in battle.
But the question is, is this reasonable?
A normal housewife, after becoming a ghost, why does she possess such terrifying power?
Just because she was wrongfully accused of cheating, because her death was so miserable, or just because she is a woman?
If that were the case, there are countless women in the world who have died more tragically than she did. There must be at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand. If all of them turned into ghosts as powerful as her, the world would be in big trouble.
For this question, Chu Xuan had not understood it before entering the main god space.
It wasn't until he saw the subsequent unaired American version of "Jyuonmu" in the main god that he had a rough guess.
In this version of "Jyuonmu," Ga Ya Hei's mother is not an ordinary person.
In every generation of the Ga family, the female members possess certain spiritual power, and Ga Ya Hei is even more gifted than others, almost like a natural witch.
Later, after Ga Ya Hei's father passed away, her mother, due to the loss of her source of income, went back to her old job of exorcising spirits from people troubled by evil spirits.
However, Ga Ya Hei's mother is only a semi-professional, and the only way to exorcise spirits is to draw out the evil spirit and feed it to her daughter to swallow, using her special physique to seal and suppress it...
As a result, over time, more and more evil spirits were sealed inside Ga Ya Hei, becoming like a powder keg filled with volatile materials.
And if Ga Ya Hei were to meet with an accidental death, the evil spirits within her would absorb her spiritual energy, growing even stronger in the process.
There is no doubt that an accident occurred.
Ga Ya Hei was wrongfully accused and murdered by her husband, causing a massive awakening of the large number of evil spirits sealed within her, fueled by her intense resentment.
And the powerful witch soul of Ga Ya Hei, combined with the power of hundreds of evil spirits and ghosts, eventually gave birth to an unparalleled force...
For this, the then conversation with Chu Xuan about the "Jyuonmu" plot's Wu Xian had even joked that the screenwriter who wrote this version of "Jyuonmu" had probably seen "Kimi no Naka no Yotsukai" (Inuyasha).
Otherwise, how could someone come up with such an absurd setting? According to this plot, even if he were to create the Four Souls Orb, he wouldn't be surprised.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan looked at the task content displayed on his wristwatch - eliminating the source of the curse, rather than specifically Ga Ya Hei.
Excluding the possibility of an error in the main god system, the meaning of this so-called "Jyuonmu source" is quite intriguing.
To verify his guess, Chu Xuan originally planned to explore step by step through the plot of the movie, which might take quite a bit of time.
Interestingly enough, one of the new people sent by the main god happens to have a superpower that allows him to see death energy directly.
After a simple test, Chu Xuan found that Zhu Wan could indeed discern some patterns from the flow of death energy around her, noticing that although they were scattered throughout the city, they all seemed to have the same source, which was the shrine in front of them.
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, was about to take out a drone from his spatial bag to conduct an initial investigation of the shrine.
But just at this moment, the vague night darkness suddenly dimmed down, reaching a degree where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
In an instant, except for Wang Wujia, the special forces soldier, Qidiangyi and Zhu Wan were as tense as birds with bows as they hunched over.
Luckily, the Yutian Ring in Chu Xuan's hand continued to emit a warm glow, giving the two a bit of security.
However, in the next second, a bright light reappeared in front of them, revealing a pale face with bloodshot eyes that appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
That was... Ga Ya Hei!!
...
"Fight finished! Time to wrap up!"
With an explosion of a white mist, two chunks of muddy blackness were hurled out, sliding on the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop. It was Reinhard, who had been incapacitated, and Yuri, who was only breathing his last.
The figure of Wu Xian appeared in the white mist, looking at the fallen figures not far away, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
"Captain! The mission is complete!"
Zheng Zha shouldered his axe, revealing an unhidden smile.
Clearly, the reward for the head of Shiva Gan Tian had been credited, and thinking about the plan discussed by Wu Xian and Chu Xuan before entering the "Jyuonmu" world, Zheng Zha felt a surge of excitement once again.
"All did well, so it's time to share the rewards now."
Wu Xian, hearing this, also smiled slightly and then stretched out his right hand, and a silver metal box appeared out of thin air.
Opened, more than twenty dark blue double-threaded ampoules lay there flatly inside.
The original T-virus liquid——Improved Black Water!
