One night passed, nothing happened.
Neither female ghosts came to fight against Wu Xian nor they had a fierce battle with Wu Xian. Everything was so ordinary.
Not only that, including Zhu Wen and Qiteng Yi, these ordinary people without any combat capability, the entire team of Zhongzhou also slept soundly through the night until morning, without even having any nightmares, which was quite unlike a horror film.
This was unexpected, but also understandable.
After all, the previous Xihai team could stay safely in this temple for two nights, so there's no reason why the current Zhongzhou team would be any different.
Of course, it's also possible that the current Zhongzhou team is just too strong. Since Gayaizi has suffered two consecutive losses at Wu Xian's hands before, even if this ghost is as crazy as it is, it's estimated that it wouldn't dare to attack lightly in a short period of time.
However, if that is indeed the case, then the problem once again circles back to last night's discussion: how they should find Gayaizi and locate the so-called "curse origin," and destroy it before the main god begins to cause trouble and complete this main quest.
In response, everyone began to brainstorm and came up with many ideas, but most of them were not very reliable, and it might be more effective to let Friday hack into the city's surveillance system.
As for Zhuxuan, the wise one, he stated that he was not good at analyzing horror films. He simply described the several attack modes that Gayaizi showed last night and then locked himself in a room, and he hasn't appeared since then.
According to Zhuxuan's statement, he is studying Rhinhardt's bloodline of count, trying to extract the blood essence before the horror film ends.
The process of this research is very complicated, and it absolutely cannot be interrupted halfway.
Therefore, unless there is a crisis similar to the total annihilation of the Zhongzhou team, everyone else should not disturb him.
Wu Xian felt helpless and suspicious about this guy using public resources for his own purposes, taking the opportunity to thoroughly research a regenerator with an A-level enhancement, and starting the second gene lock.
However, considering the benefits that Zhuxuan's research has brought to himself and the Zhongzhou team, Wu Xian didn't interfere much and let him stay in the temple.
Only Meng Gang and Ling Dian were left as protection, and then Wu Xian, along with the other members of Zhongzhou team, started wandering around Tokyo, clearly in the mood to fish.
For this purpose, Wu Xian and Zheng Zha, among others, not only disengaged their armed battle armor but also put away amulets for protection and special items aimed at ghosts and monsters into the space bag. They were dressed in ordinary casual clothes, almost as if they had written "Seek Abuse, Come Quickly" on their faces in big letters.
Unfortunately, it was useless. This version of Gayaizi was clearly strong, but too conservative, choosing to ignore the enticement from Zhongzhou team's hookers and treating them as if they were just some irrelevant people in a big IP's female ghost.
But the more so, the Zhongzhou team felt increasingly uneasy. It was like the calm before the storm; they strongly suspected that Gayaizi, or rather the main god, was preparing to unleash a big one.
So, another four days passed, and everything remained as calm as ever. The Zhongzhou team had been eating and sleeping during these days, without any unexpected incidents. Those who knew that they were on a horror film mission might think that they were on vacation.
However, compared to the tranquility on Zhongzhou team's side, other parts of Tokyo had already been in chaos.
Not counting the commotion caused by previous regenerators' battles, in these four days, there have been over 100 cases of accidental deaths among Tokyo citizens. And their appearances are very gruesome, almost bizarre.
Given the time Zhongzhou team arrived in the Ju-on world, it's hard not to associate these cases with Gayaizi.
"Very good, there are new ways to die."
In the president's suite of a certain hotel, Wu Xian lightly swiped his hand in the air on the projected light screen, displaying several R-rated blood-soaked images and text archives, and said:
"According to the police department's internal files, someone found that the tap in a toilet at a shopping mall was blocked. When they called a plumber to fix it, they discovered a body in the pipe."
"Ah! That's so cruel! A live person was directly stuffed into a pipe with a diameter of just ten centimeters. All of their bones, internal organs, blood, and flesh were compressed together, almost like making sausages."
Saying this, a cold smile curled at the corner of Wu Xian's mouth: "I didn't think Gayaizi was quite skilled in cooking... speaking of which, do traditional Japanese foods have a dish called sausages?"
"Don't say any more, Captain. Quickly hide the pictures; I feel like I'm going to throw up."
Looking at these indescribable accident scenes before him, Zheng Zha only felt a wave of nausea in his stomach.
Even though he had seen a lot of bloody scenes in the bio and alien worlds before, the visual impact of these pictures was still beyond his tolerance.
"What is Gayaizi's purpose? Why does she keep killing those ordinary people so frequently?"
"Jian Lan's brow furrowed slightly, looking somewhat puzzled,"
"There are two possibilities."
Wu Xian stroked his chin, "Firstly, Gayaizi is vindictive. Because she's afraid to attack us, she takes her anger out on those ordinary people as an outlet."
"Too absurd."
Hearing this, Jian Lan couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes and brush off the hand that was groping her chin, questioning:
"Even if that's the case, but the frequency is too high. Over one hundred and thirty deaths in just four days, not to mention the missing ones, which adds up to over five hundred. Does Gayaizi plan to massacre the entire Tokyo city?"
"So, there's a second possibility."
Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Gayaizi is strengthening her power by killing ordinary people. Considering the seven-day time limit in the main god's mission, I suspect that by then, Gayaizi's strength will be strong to an incredible extent."
At least according to the main god's judgment, none of us are her opponents, which is why they left us with seven days to escape."
"No, it can't be possible. Even you, Captain, are not her opponent?"
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but shiver all over, and Zheng Zha stuttered, unable to imagine Wu Xian being chased and beaten by Gayaizi.
"I don't know, but I'm not sure."
Wu Xian shrugged helplessly and said, "You people shouldn't think of me as too powerful. You see, the main god's assessment of a regenerator's strength is not just about the bloodline and skills you have earned, but also about the gene lock."
"Based on the current intelligence, gene lock has four stages, and I have only opened up to the third stage, with an even more powerful fourth stage above..."
There are countless beings more powerful than me in the world of reincarnation, and it's not out of the question that the main god is psychotic and would directly promote Gayaizi to that level."
"But if that's really the case, what should we do? Are we really supposed to run all over the world for seven days and be constantly on our guard against Gayaizi's pursuit?"
Zheng Zha was filled with anxiety in his heart, and the others in Zhongzhou team were also frowning, desperately thinking of a way to break the deadlock, but obviously they were still coming up empty-handed.
"Don't worry, what I said just now was the worst-case scenario. Things may not be that bad... Of course, it's definitely necessary to prepare in advance."
Wu Xian solemnly said, "Including the night we arrived, we've been in the Ju-on world for five days, and two days left until the deadline. To be on the safe side, we must find Gayaizi's location within two days."
"Captain, do you already have a way to find Gayaizi?"
Zheng Zha exclaimed in surprise.
"It can only be said that we have some grasp."
Wu Xian said this, his gaze shifting from one of the new members to another: "Gayaizi hasn't shown up because we're too strong. She doesn't have the confidence to face us."
But don't forget that there are a few among us who have no combat ability at all. If we leave them alone outside, wouldn't Gayaizi be tempted to attack them?"
"I demand to be pursued!"
