【One opponent team member killed, the Zhongzhou team currently has a positive score of thirteen points, and has received a reward of twenty-six thousand points so far...】
【Activating the gene lock upon killing a teammate, grants an A-grade side quest with reward points of seven thousand...】
In the end, Wu Xian still followed his heart's choice and sent those five new West Sea team members on their way.
No way, after all, this is a world of reincarnation, a place where death could strike at any moment. Perhaps he can keep getting stronger with the help of external aids, and he's not overly reliant on the deities' enhancements.
However, the others of the Zhongzhou team are different. Reward points and side quests can allow them to exchange high-level bloodlines and skills from the gods, making them stronger.
Only in this way can they survive better in this infinite world.
To achieve this, it's okay for moral boundaries to be flexible occasionally. There's no need to waste overflowing empathy for a group of strangers who may possibly become enemies in the future.
Moreover, through Zhan Lan's memory reading of Yuriyan and Linhardt, these five new recruits have actually experienced a horror film.
However, due to being exploited by two breeders, they didn't receive any enhancements, and even before entering the "Ju-on" world, they were nearly tortured and humiliated by Reinhardt this pervert multiple times, pushing their spirits to the brink of collapse.
Therefore, killing them now to some extent is also a form of liberation.
Otherwise, even if they could live to return to the deity realm, in the future they might become new breeders...
At the same time, there was no objection to Wu Xian's decision from the members of the Zhongzhou team. Even Zheng Zha, this Mother Mary, after seeing the memory picture transmitted by Zhan Lan, only had a bitter smile on his face and chose to agree.
However, when it came time to distribute the spoils of war, he refused the privileges of the senior member and gave a head of a new member from the West Sea team to Zero, who had helped him kill Shiva Gan Tian earlier.
At this point, the team battle was completely over, with a total of twenty-one people from the Indochina team and the West Sea team all being annihilated. (Or rather, it should be "twenty people," as one person had been transferred to another group.)
In addition to Reinhardt, who was about to become a lab rat, the Zhongzhou team killed thirteen of them, while the members of the Zhongzhou team remained unchanged. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was a brilliant victory.
The most crucial matter is that the time it took for all this was only a couple of hours.
One can imagine that if this news were to spread to other ordinary recycling teams, it would probably scare them so much that they wouldn't be able to sleep at night, and consider the Zhongzhou team to be at the same level as the deities and demons of two special teams, or even higher!
Of course, these are all future matters, and we'll leave them for another time.
About half an hour later, Zheng Zha finished disposing of the corpses of the West Sea team with his own red fire, while Zhan Lan used mental resonance to control the monks and abbots inside the temple, allowing all members of the Zhongzhou team to successfully enter and live in nice meditation rooms, one for each person.
But in the evening, everyone gathered in Wu Xian's room, discussing the upcoming thoughts and directions for completing the main task.
"The Gyoza in this world is undoubtedly much stronger than the original movie version. It's not yet certain if there's a setup similar to that in the American version of Ju-on, but it's not out of the question."
Chǔ Xuān pulled out a brightly-red apple from his spatial pouch as he spoke, "At that time, we used Zhu Wen's ability to search for the most densely-packed source of death energy in Tokyo, a very desolate shrine. However, just as we were about to explore it, Ju-on suddenly appeared and launched an attack."
"And based on the content of the main task issued by the deity this time, I have a seven out of ten chance that the source of Ju-on may be hidden within that shrine, or there's a special connection between it and the shrine."
"Shrine?"
Wu Xian furrowed his brow and said, "This has quite a significant difference from the movie Ju-on and the original plot of Infinite Terror..."
To put it back to the story, according to the settings of the American version of Ju-on, the mother of Ju-on's family should have had many witch-like maidens who could exorcise spirits in the past. Could this be related to this shrine?
Thinking of this, Wu Xian asked Friday to project the geographical coordinates of the shrine. However, he received a "no such place" result.
At the same time, Zhan Lan used mental connection and under Chu Xuan's guidance, scanned the area with mental force.
The result was obvious. The shrine could not be found either, as if there was some force that had erased its existence from this city.
As for trying to find Ju-on through the traitors Sakaue Gohei and Sakaue Shuhei...
Sorry, forgot to mention that when we found the virtual world where Chu Xuan and a few others were trapped earlier, those two ghosts automatically disappeared, not even his soul captor's general could react.
Wu Xian guessed that these two evil ghosts were probably just manifestations. When they encountered the former master, Ju-on, again, they were naturally suppressed and thus died so mysteriously.
But in doing so, Wu Xian lost an effective means of tracking Ju-on, which left him rather helpless.
Oh, and Zhu Wen, she can still see the dispersed death energy in the air. However, she finds that these death energies are incredibly scattered and thin, seemingly everywhere, making it difficult to locate any places similar to sources.
"What should we do then? We can't find the shrine, and Ju-on is hiding and not daring to appear. Maybe... we should just stay in this temple for fifteen days, and that would also count as completing the main task."
Zheng Zha scratched his head and said his own thoughts.
"Main god won't give a task with definite death, but also won't let the cycle survive well, similar examples have happened many times, I don't think waiting in place is a good idea."
At this moment, Zhan Lan shook her head and said, clearly having been influenced by Wu Xian, her personality had changed significantly and she preferred to be proactive.
"I agree with that, but we don't need to rush to think about these things now. We've been busy all night, and everyone must be exhausted. Let's rest well first before thinking about specific countermeasures tomorrow is also not too late."
Wu Xian smiled and then suddenly remembered something, cautiously reminded: "By the way, although this temple has a protective effect against Ju-on, it's not infallible."
For the sake of caution, it's better for everyone not to stay in a room alone. This way, if Ju-on attacks, at least there will be someone to help."
This is a reasonable suggestion. When facing a powerful ghost like Ju-on, being cautious is always the right approach.
However, at this moment, Zhao Yingkong, who had been relatively silent, surprisingly put forward an opposing opinion and demanded to live alone in a room, with an unusually valid reason:
"I am an assassin, accustomed to acting alone. Moreover, if Ju-on is as strong as you say, stronger than in the original movie, then numbers don't matter. I would rather live alone so that I can run faster in case of an emergency."
"Zhao Yingkong, I must remind you firstly, I don't think assassins should always act alone. Secondly, my previous statement was not a request for discussion, but a notice. If you want to disobey my orders, then wait until you have beaten me."
Having said that, he suddenly extended his right hand, releasing mental force, trapping the surprised Zhao Yingkong in place. Then he randomly messed up her beautiful black straight hair with his fingers, quickly turning it into a messy nest of hair.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Zhao Yingkong had never experienced such treatment, and when Wu Xian removed her restraints, she pounced on him like a young tiger, determined to splash blood all over him.
Just then, Zhan Lan, on the side, quickly caught hold of the girl's slender waist with agility, still being pulled and chased by Zhao Yingkong as she attempted to kill Wu Xian. The originally heavy atmosphere in the air also lightened up a bit.
Unfortunately, at this time, Zhao Yingkong's strength was far from that of Wu Xian.
After a round of teasing, not only did she fail to take revenge, but she was also given several haircuts in the process. In the end, she could only pout with a red face and join Zhan Lan and Zhu Wen to live together.
"All right, just like that. Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan, Wang Xia and Mu Gang, Xiao Yi and Qi Tengyi, Zero and Cheng Xiao, you will be divided into four groups, each staying in a separate room. This way the distribution of combat power is more even, and safety can also be ensured."
"What about you, captain?"
Zheng Zha asked, unconsciously looking at Zhan Lan, and then received a rolled eyes from her.
"Haha, don't worry about me. If Ju-on dares to come after me, the matter will be simple."
Speaking in this way, Wu Xian's eyes slightly narrowed, smiling and said: "I will try my best to make the poor Mrs. Ju-on have a wonderful night."
