"Done?" Seeing Ye Zi coming out of the restaurant door, Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Well, just like the original plot, the first victim Okazaki Yoko received a death notice. The time in the notice is 11 o'clock in the evening on the 18th." Ye Zi stroked the hair beside his ears and replied easily: " When I just went out, I glanced at the calendar at the front desk of the restaurant and confirmed that today is the 16th, which means we still have about two days to prepare, which is quite generous in terms of time."
"Let's go, find a place to settle down first... I have prepared a lot of US dollars in my luggage. Many high-end hotels should support payment in US dollars."
--------------------------
It only took less than an hour for Ye Zi to negotiate with a local hotel through a financial offensive and book a room on the entire floor. Although no one had a legal identity, the hotel turned a blind eye for the sake of Franklin on the dollar bills: to be able to operate such a high-end hotel safely and securely, it is natural that it would be a good thing in both black and white. They all have connections, so even if Ye Zi and his party cause any trouble, the hotel will not be implicated.
After arriving at the room, Ye Zi first sorted out several large bags of luggage that she and Zhang Jie carried, selected equipment that would be useful in this horror movie, and stuffed the rest into the safe in the room. Then everyone was summoned and plans for the next two days were announced.
"Newcomers, you can rest peacefully tonight. Although there is unlikely to be any danger, Zhang Jie and I will still take turns keeping vigil. But early tomorrow morning, I need you to divide into four groups to collect the following information."
"First of all, find out the movement pattern of Okazaki Yoko... She and the heroine and her group are studying medicine at Holy Light University. I need to know her specific class and the course schedule on the 18th, so that I can follow and protect her. .”
(Holy Light University... This name is also weird enough, and combined with the curses encountered by the students, it has a sense of black humor. But thanks to the eye-catching name of the school, even if it only appears briefly in the background in the movie In just a few seconds, it’s extremely impressive.)
"Secondly, we currently have two pieces of information about the location of the incident in the trailer: First, it is not too far from Yoko Okazaki's residence. Otherwise, as a college girl, she would not be able to choose to be alone at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. Walk home; secondly, a train passed by that overpass at 11:04 pm. As long as we start from these two points and collect information about Yoko's address and train schedule, I believe it will not be difficult to locate the location of the incident. In this way, Zhang Jie You can find a commanding height in advance to ambush her, and when the evil ghost appears, you can shoot her hard with spirit bullets."
"Finally, we need the location of the former site of a hospital called Kagami: that was the hospital where Mimiko often went for treatment during her lifetime. After the hospital moved a few years ago, the old site was not demolished. Mimiko, who turned into a ghost, once lured her mother Go there and kill her and transform her into a ghost like a ghost. Her mother's cell phone became the starting point of this series of cursed murders. Destroying this cell phone is very important for our mission this time."
"The above, dismissal."
After hearing the tasks arranged by Ye Zi, the newcomers breathed a sigh of relief more or less, showing expressions of relief: as promised before, the tasks assigned to them by the seniors were not dangerous.
After the newlyweds returned to their rooms, Zhang Jie lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and suggested: "Let me guard the first half of the night. I will wake you up when it's time to change the guard."
"Yeah, no problem." Hearing this, Ye Zi nodded and walked straight to one side of the room, lying down on the sofa with his clothes on and closing his eyes. After a brief silence, Zhang Jie's voice sounded in the room again: "How confident do you think we are about this mission?"
"If you ask me, it should be more than 80%." Ye Zi did not open his eyes, but a confident smile appeared on his delicate face: "Although he is not very good at intrigues and other layout calculations, in analyzing In terms of planning and planning, I am quite confident. I happened to have studied the horror film this time in advance, and our equipment was quite well prepared. With such a plan and then action, the 80% chance of winning is not an exaggeration. As for the remaining 20% depends on our on-the-spot performance and the number of days."
--------------------------
Early the next morning, after spending the rest of the night, Ye Zi first called the front desk and asked them to bring breakfast, and then woke up the newlyweds. Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to have a meal, Ye Zi told them the precautions for today's operation: if the funds are sufficient, don't be stingy where money can be used to open up joints, but be sure not to attract the attention of the police; at the same time, try to avoid direct contact with Okazaki Yoko Contact to avoid alerting the evil ghost who cursed her.
After assigning tasks to the four groups of newcomers and watching them take the elevator downstairs, Ye Zi drank the coffee in the cup slowly, then stretched out and waved to Zhang Jie: " Come on, let’s go buy something too.”
Zhang Jie nodded upon hearing this and left the hotel with Ye Zi. After walking on the street for a few minutes, he finally couldn't restrain his doubts and asked curiously: "I said...what are we going to buy? It shouldn't be firearms, not to mention that our weapons are quite good." There are enough, and in a country like Japan with strict gun control, you can't buy it without good channels. Is it a Shinto or Buddhist amulet or something? Could it be that it is the same as the holy water in the church in A Nightmare on Elm Street, and it is also available in the Ghost Call World? Such a useful prop? "
"Although logically speaking, in this world where ghosts and curses exist, it is indeed possible that there are people or things that can restrain them. But unfortunately, unlike the situation in A Nightmare on Elm Street, there is no such mention in the movie. setting, and we don’t have the time to look for a needle in a haystack to find a capable monk or onmyoji." Ye Zi raised his index finger and shook it slightly: "As for what I plan to buy...it's not anything The special thing you can buy in any supermarket is just a makeup mirror."
"In occultism, the functions of mirrors include clarifying reality and illuminating the soul. The so-called magic mirror divination was also developed from this. In the original plot of Ghost Call, when the heroine Nakamura Yumi went to explore the old site of Kagami Hospital, There seems to be nothing behind her, but the dilapidated mirror on the wall reflects the figure of the evil spirit; at the end, the evil spirit possesses the heroine and uses it to sneak attack the male protagonist Yamashita Hiroshi. It is through this that Yamashita Hiroshi The reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror revealed that it was the ghost who controlled this body, not the heroine."
"In other words... relying on the mirror, we can observe the possessed or even invisible ghost. In this way, cracking this tricky ability is tantamount to breaking an arm of the ghost."
Speaking of this, Ye Zi suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Besides, since you mentioned holy water, why should we look for some kind of amulet instead of looking far away?"
"You mean...but I remember that in the last horror movie, the batch of holy water we asked for from the church was almost all used up?" Zhang Jie was stunned for a moment, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"Of course I'll redeem the days and ask the old priest for another batch. After all, after previous actual combat testing, this thing is particularly useful for restraining undead ghosts. I thought that this kind of enemies are very common in horror movies, so I stocked up. Some just in case." Ye Zi replied matter-of-factly: "To use the saying in the online game, when we first went to negotiate, the old priest's attitude towards us was friendly, but after killing Freddy, his reputation will be upgraded to respect. It’s obviously impossible for him to refuse such a small thing as asking for holy water.”
"I have prepared four bottles of holy water in my bag. You can take half of them with you before the battle begins. Normally, I still use spiritual bullets, but if I encounter you or me or a plot character is approached by a ghost, use firearms. If you don’t turn it on, this thing might be able to save your life.”
--------------------------
It only took less than half an hour to buy the makeup mirror, and after returning to the hotel, Ye Zi was not idle for the rest of the time. She recalled the details in the film, muttered words, and wrote and drew in her notebook. , scrutinizing the variables that may arise in the plan, as well as the backup plans and plans that need to be prepared.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, the newcomers who had gone out to collect information came back one after another, and Ye Zi also waved his hands and threw the densely written notes that filled half a book on the sofa, and began to listen to everyone's reports on them. Today's results.
It has to be said that although this group of newcomers are all ordinary people, at least they are not the kind of fools who seek death or give up on themselves. When their own safety was at stake, they took the tasks assigned by Ye Zi very seriously: information such as the hospital's old address and train timetables that only required a trip and some errands. Let’s not mention it for now; even Okazaki Yoko’s schedule and address were successfully obtained by the newcomers through a financial offensive from a vain medical girl.
"Then, the location where the attack will take place tomorrow night is already very clear." After comparing the map and the train timetable, Ye Zi nodded with satisfaction and drew a circle on the map with a pen: "It's not far from Yoko's house. It’s far away, and there is an overpass where the train passes at 11:04... so it can only be here.”
"Okay, newcomers... In the next few days, you just need to stay in the hotel and wait quietly for our good news."
