Everything is settled.
The sun rises and the haze dissipates.
The evil power of the demon Valak has completely dissipated in the village of Biertan.
The three of them slowly walked out of the castle. What greeted them were the morning dew, the faint morning light, the crisp bird song, and...
The deserted village of Bertan.
All the villagers in the village, including the reincarnations from outside, have died.
The blood that had lost its magical control was spilled all over every street. The village, which should have been peaceful and quiet, was filled with these glaring dark red patches. Under the morning sun, it looked so shocking.
In the empty village, the three of them walked along the cobblestone road towards the original hotel.
A doll came up to the three of them at some point and walked side by side with them.
"Where were you when we were fighting Valakrusfan?"
Ron Bentham questioned, glaring down at the plastic doll.
The ghost doll chuckled: "My presence was sensed by Valak. Fortunately, I ran fast and was not caught by the vampire."
"You run fast," Ron snorted.
"Of course I have to run away when I see the situation is not right. Otherwise, how do you think I have survived so many reincarnation worlds? Learn something, newbie."
Neither Fu Qinghai nor Zhang Yuning said anything.
Let these two funny guys continue bickering.
What Fu Qinghai was thinking in his mind was that this time Rusfan actually got away.
While Fu Qinghai was still not reacting to the kiss, Rusfan turned into a swarm of bats, broke through the stained glass of the chapel and escaped.
In fact, Fu Qinghai had not figured out what to do with Rusfan if he was caught. Killing him would not have any practical benefits other than venting his anger, and it would also deduct assimilation points.
The only solution I could think of was to capture him, torture him, and use the pain to force him to commit suicide.
But this is not in line with what Ogedei taught himself.
It's quite confusing when you think about it.
Zhang Yuning, who was walking side by side with Fu Qinghai, also had his head down, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked at her. Although Zhang Yuning didn't say much along the way, Fu Qinghai could clearly feel it.
Zhang Yuning has changed, drastically.
If you look closely, you will find that she still has long straight black hair with a princess cut, an oval face with a pointed chin, eyes with white pupils close together, a small and upturned nose, and sexy, slightly thick lips. Nothing has changed.
But Fu Qinghai could clearly feel that Zhang Yuning's temperament became more lively, and she no longer had that cold aura that kept strangers away.
Zhang Yuning must have noticed that Fu Qinghai had been staring at others like this. She raised her head slightly, looked at Fu Qinghai, and asked softly:
"What are you looking at?"
Fu Qinghai saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised and her eyebrows slightly bent. Although it was not very obvious, it still surprised Fu Qinghai. He blurted out:
"You can still laugh?"
"Hmph." Zhang Yuning didn't say anything, just snorted and turned his head away.
It is indeed completely different.
Although the previous Zhang Yuning was beautiful, she gave people the feeling of a lonely ghost floating there, unapproachable and unpredictable.
But now Zhang Yuning is more like a living person. She no longer has a deadpan face and is expressionless and cold to everyone.
Fu Qinghai also turned his head and stopped staring at Zhang Yuning.
The two of them tacitly did not mention the kiss that had just taken place.
Not just because there were two other people present at this moment.
It's also because there is an inexplicable embarrassment involved.
Fu Qinghai wanted to say that we are all adults now, and we can't kiss like children playing house. It's not a big deal if the lips touch each other. Isn't a wet kiss the most basic thing?
However, Fu Qinghai was not sure what Zhang Yuning was thinking in that environment and under that situation, so he did not discuss the matter rashly.
In fact, at this moment, Fu Qinghai also had a lot of questions in his mind and wanted to speak:
Where did the Kawamata Kayako in your body come from? How was Valak sucked into your body? What are the current states of Kayako and Valak?
The three people and the baby returned to the familiar hotel lobby.
Take your seats in turn.
Everyone was recalling their experience in this reincarnation copy world.
When he thought of this, Fu Qinghai exhaled a puff of air from his nostrils, and his expression looked a little angry.
Not only is there nothing worth assimilating in this copy world, but I also had several hundred assimilation points deducted for killing two reincarnations. It's a loss just to think about it.
The ghost doll Upton Dupont, who was sitting on the table, saw what Fu Qinghai was thinking and comforted him,
"It's okay, Jack. Count how many reincarnations came into this dungeon world. Excluding that idiot Rusfan, only the four of us survived. The others are all dead."
Ron Bentham also agreed: "Yes, although we didn't gain anything, at least we survived this round. When I was hanging out with other reincarnations before, they all laughed at themselves and said that when the reincarnation world arranged for you to enter the horror movie universe, it was to eliminate you."
Fu Qinghai nodded and said, "You are right, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuning, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up, reached out and held Fu Qinghai's hand, and said,
"Come up with me, I have something to tell you."
Fu Qinghai looked up at Zhang Yuning in confusion, but was still dragged upstairs by Zhang Yuning without any explanation.
Fu Qinghai's hand was pulled by Zhang Yuning, and he was a little surprised.
He admitted that although he would occasionally talk nonsense, he was essentially a person who paid great attention to propriety and sense of distance. He would seldom actively seek physical contact with the opposite sex. He knew that many girls were very disgusted with men who were inappropriate right away. The only two times he and Zhang Yuning had physical contact were both initiated by Zhang Yuning.
The two men walked up to the second floor on the wooden planks, leaving Ron Bentham and Upton Du looking at each other downstairs.
Upton shook the beer glass in his arms, which was one-third of his height, and said with a chuckle,
"Although Jack lost assimilation points, he gained love."
Ron said, "I feel like we'll be able to hear the bed shaking in a little while."
Upton: "You know, Jack is so fierce, can Zhang Yuning handle it?"
Ron: "Hey, don't tell me. The hell demon Valak is still inside Zhang Yuning's body. It's not certain who is on top of whom and who will bear who."
…
The second floor of the hotel is full of guest rooms. Zhang Yuning took Fu Qinghai to an empty room and sat on the bed.
Fu Qinghai wondered what you were going to do.
Zhang Yuning sat on the bed, looked into Fu Qinghai's eyes, and said seriously:
"The reincarnation world is about to end, and there are some things I need to make clear to you."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Zhang Yuning: "When our minds were connected, I believe you recognized that the one possessing my body was the original body of the Grudge, Kawamata Kayako."
"You also heard Rusfan say in the town that I am the only reincarnation who has survived from the Grudge Universe, but they don't know that I also brought Kayako out. Only you know this."
"I won't go into detail about the specific process of bringing Kayako out. It's very complicated and there are many coincidences. However, although I spent a huge amount of assimilation points to assimilate her, she still inevitably and constantly affects me and wants to turn me into the Grudge."
Fu Qinghai nodded to show that he understood.
It's still what Chen Xue said, the reincarnators have no mental immunity when facing supernatural powers. When you use a power, your thinking and your character will inevitably be affected by this power.
This is also one of the reasons why Fu Qinghai is determined to take the technological route.
Anyone who has seen the Ju-Jou series of movies and novels knows that Kayako has the ability to directly turn a person into a grudge without killing him or her. Her son Saeki Toshio was directly turned into a grudge by her when he was still alive. Saeki Toshio is a strange form between the living and the dead, and in some ways he is even more difficult to deal with than Kayako.
No wonder when she met Zhang Yuning before, this woman looked extremely cold and indifferent, as if she wanted to stick four big words on her face - "Stay away from me".
His mind was infected by Kayako's evil thoughts and hatred.
Seeing Fu Qinghai's sudden realization, Zhang Yuning nodded and continued:
"I have been struggling to suppress Kayako's hatred and evil thoughts in my body, and her desire to kill people. This has exhausted me and I have almost no energy to think about other things."
"You may find it strange that even though I have such a powerful vengeful spirit like Kayako in my body, I always avoid and evade those reincarnations who want to tease me. In fact, if I want to kill them, it won't take even a minute. All four of them will be dead. However, their souls will continue to strengthen the power of the curse, making it impossible for me to suppress Kayako, and I will eventually be swallowed by the curse."
So that's it. Fu Qinghai finally understood.
At this point, Zhang Yuning smiled at Fu Qinghai and said,
"In fact, I have always been grateful to you for helping me out at that time. Otherwise, if I had allowed them to continue to push their limits, I might not have been able to suppress the killing urge in my heart. But I couldn't say it at the time. I had to keep my distance from you because...she existed."
Fu Qinghai discovered that although Zhang Yuning had a high-level world-weary face that was loved by the modeling circle, whenever she did not make any expression, she looked as if others owed her millions. As long as she had no expression, she looked a little fierce and impatient.
But once this world-weary face smiles, the feeling of weariness mixed with charm is so... captivating and alluring.
She is like a combination of Tomie Kawakami and Nana Komatsu, more refined than Nana Komatsu and less evil than Tomie created by Junji Ito.
Fu Qinghai nodded to show his understanding, and then asked:
"What about Valak?"
Zhang Yuning explained:
"This is exactly what I want to thank you for. I originally used all my energy to suppress Kayako, but now, she and Valak have fought each other to a draw. Both are sealed in my body, and a delicate balance has been achieved. Now I can be myself and I don't have to be influenced by her anymore."
"I have to admit that I am the one who benefited the most from this reincarnation dungeon world. Not only did I complete the reincarnation mission, I also sealed the demon Valak in my body. Most importantly, I also solved the problem of Kayako that has been bothering me. I... I am really grateful."
As she spoke, Zhang Yuning actually lifted the black clothes on her shoulders, revealing her slender body in a black vest, her snow-white and slender shoulders, and her delicate collarbone.
Zhang Yuning pointed to her shoulder, and Fu Qinghai saw that from Zhang Yuning's shoulder to her arm, it was covered with tattoos of flowers, plants, dragons, fish, mountains, rivers and waves.
Wow, she's a girl with tattoos on her arms, pretty cool.
Zhang Yuning pointed to her tattoo and explained:
"During the time when Kayako's evil thoughts were the most violent, some bruises and scars would inexplicably appear on my skin. These scars would slowly form the shape of Kayako's face, forcing me to cover it with tattoos. Now, they are all gone."
Fu Qinghai remembered that this plot had appeared in the Rika arc of Ju-Yo! The protagonist Rika Nishina had many inexplicable bruises on her body, and these bruises formed the outline of Kayako's face. In the end, the result was that even Rika Nishina's face changed and became the appearance of Kayako.
Not everyone can control a ghost like Kayako.
Oh, so you took off your clothes to say this... I thought you wanted to pledge your love to me. Fu Qinghai didn't know if he was a little disappointed or what.
Many book lovers who don't watch horror movies may find it strange. Valak is one of Solomon's 72 demons. He is a real demon who can be honored as "Him", while Kawamata Kayako is just a Japanese vengeful spirit. How can he be compared with Valak and end up in a fight that results in both sides suffering losses?
When it comes to the fighting power of The Grudge, in all horror movie universes, it is not inferior to Freddy in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Sadako in TV, Mary Shore in Dead Silence, and Chu Renmei in The Village.
If we were to rank the ghost kings in the horror movie universe, Kawabata Kayako would definitely be in the top three, maybe even number one.
In the Ju-Grudge universe, the Ju-Grudge is not only a supernatural virus that can spread, but its ability is even strong enough to transcend time and space, create another world, and so on. The Ju-Grudge universe does not have the exorcists in the Conjuring universe to fight against it. The vengeful spirits such as Kawamata Kayako can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand and do whatever they want. It is no exaggeration to call them real demons.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
And Valak is only the 62nd ranked demon god, a leader in rank, with a bunch of demon earls, marquises and dukes above him. If he had to make a judgment, if this copy world did not belong to the Conjuring Universe, which is Valak's home turf, he might not be able to defeat Kayako.
After talking about the business, the two were silent for a while. Zhang Yuning suddenly lowered his head and said hesitantly:
"I... I don't know how you view this matter. At that time, the situation was critical and there was no other way. But I want to tell you that although I am impulsive sometimes, I am not that kind of casual woman. If someone else was possessed by Valak, I might... I might not do that kind of thing. Do you... do you understand what I mean?"
This... Fu Qinghai didn't know what to say for a moment.
"…"
"I see."
No need to ask, no need to explain, no need to worry, just three words are enough.
After hearing Fu Qinghai's answer, Zhang Yuning seemed to be relieved and finally said out the most difficult part of her heart.
"This dungeon world is about to end, and we're about to separate... You can't really be called Jack, can you tell me your real name?"
Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and said, "My last name is Fu, Fu Qingshan."
"Yes." Zhang Yuning nodded heavily and said, "My real name is Zhang Yuning. "Yu" is the character next to the female character.
After saying this, the two of them suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere in the guest room suddenly became a little awkward.
Fu Qinghai is an embarrassed cancer patient in the advanced stage. He can't stand this kind of moment of staring at each other in silence.
How about doing something?
Fu Qinghai reached out and held Zhang Yuning's shoulders.
The girl trembled slightly, closed her eyes gently and raised her chin.
…
(No more, really no more this time, no more in the book club)
After talking with Zhang Yuning, Fu Qinghai walked down the stairs, and was greeted by the puzzled looks of the man and the child downstairs:
Hey, why is there no movement as expected? It's over so soon?
The countdown to the end of the reincarnation world has begun.
Fu Qinghai ignored the looks of the two men, waved his hand, and said loudly:
"You two, the road ahead is long. See you again if we are lucky enough!"
"By the way, my real name is not Jack, my name is Fu Qingshan."
The ghost doll standing on the table nodded:
"Upton du Pont."
The young man with brown hair and freckles also said solemnly:
"Ron Bentham."
Fu Qinghai was about to say goodbye when the plastic ghost doll suddenly remembered something and quickly waved his hand and said:
"Oh, right, Fu... Qing, Qingshan, tell me your reincarnation number. After we get out of here, we can add each other as friends so that we can contact each other later."
Add friends... Contact...
Fu Qinghai thought to himself, why didn't I know there was such a function?
Upton Dupont was also stunned when he saw Fu Qinghai's stunned expression. He seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise:
"No... No way, you haven't completely experienced two reincarnation worlds? You... You are actually still a newcomer?"
"puff--"
Ron spat out the beer in his mouth.
Without even bothering to wipe his mouth, he exclaimed,
"What? You're telling me that this is just your second reincarnation? No... you're already this strong in your second reincarnation?"
Fu Qinghai thought to himself, in fact, if he was connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he would have experienced three reincarnation worlds, but if he died in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would it not count?
Upton DuPont quickly explained to Fu Qinghai that a reincarnator who had survived two reincarnation worlds could unlock some functions.
When Fu Qinghai heard this, he felt more and more that this reincarnation world was really like an online game.
It seems that the author made the right decision by submitting his work to the game section.
Zhang Yuning, who was alone in the guest room, sat quietly on the bed, recalling what had just happened.
He kissed me, but... why didn't he tell me his reincarnation number?
Could it be that... after all this, he still needs me to ask in person?
Or... is this a euphemistic rejection?
Haha...it turns out that there will be a day when I will be rejected too.
Zhang Yuning was upset. She shook her head, stood up, walked out of the room and prepared to go downstairs.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Fu Qinghai standing there, talking to a man and a child.
Sensing her arrival, Fu Qinghai turned around and said to Zhang Yuning as if he remembered something:
"Oh, by the way, my reincarnation number is 6073..."
Zhang Yuning: "???"
What do you mean?
...
[Reincarnation copy world, unknown universe-A level, the plot line has ended, you have successfully completed the plot line mission! ]
[Start calculating assimilation points... 1817 points! ]
[Countdown, 10, 9, 8...]
Darkness gradually covered Fu Qinghai's consciousness.
Fu Qinghai carefully recalled his experience in this copy world in his mind. His greatest gain was not the assimilation points, but a full understanding of the concept of the horror movie universe, a reincarnation world that terrifies countless reincarnations.
If I have to say, "The Nun", as a prequel to The Conjuring universe, is not difficult to watch if you understand the original plot. The reincarnators only need to follow the steps, enter the monastery and fight the ghost nuns with wits and courage. Of course, Valak will definitely set up various obstacles to prevent the reincarnators from finding the blood of Jesus and the sealing point, and many people may die in the process, but it will not be as tortuous as it is now.
The reason why the current situation where all the reincarnations are almost wiped out has evolved to this point can be attributed to the fact that you have no idea at all how big the ambition is hidden in the heart of the guy next to you, whom you think is your teammate, and what kind of earth-shaking conspiracy is plotting in his mind.
The world of reincarnation is very simple, but people are complicated.
Fu Qinghai thought of Zhang Yuning, the horror film expert who already possessed Kayako and Valak, and her warning to himself:
"The most important thing about the horror movie universe is knowledge."
"When you enter a horror movie universe, you have to follow the rules of this horror movie."
Fu Qinghai shook his head slightly.
Zhang Yuning's words made sense, but Fu Qinghai did not agree.
That's right, this time I came here almost empty-handed, and was beaten badly by the evil spirits and demons. I almost failed and lost my reincarnation life.
Next time, even if I come with a bolter, a chainsword, and power armor, it may be ineffective against the ethereal evil ghosts.
What about next time?
When I come with the Inferno Cannon, the Volcano Cannon, the Seismic Cannon, the Modaris Atmospheric Missiles, the Atmospheric Incineration Torpedoes, the Cyclone Torpedoes.
I want to see whether evil spirits and demons, haunted houses and haunted houses really do not need any real physical basis at all.
"Hmph." Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai snorted in his heart.
The horror movie universe...
Let's wait and see!
…
The darkness rolled in, completely submerging Fu Qinghai's consciousness.
The last thought in his mind was the place where he anchored before leaving.
He fell into the sky above an earth-like planet.
The Warhammer 40,000 Universe…
Grandpa is back!
......
Thanks to three book friends, Ne Ting Nan Zhi, Rimuru O Tempest, and Big Orange Knight, for their rewards.
Regarding the male protagonist's ability in that aspect, I actually wrote The Blood of Quinto to lay a foreshadowing here, but guess what, in the 10th chapter, I was going to reveal this foreshadowing, but this plot has been locked and blocked, and I haven't been able to post it yet... A bunch of naughty book friends spread rumors in the chapter reviews that the male protagonist is a father-in-law or something, which really pissed me off
(End of this chapter)
