After exchanging glances, Zheng Zha took the lead, while Ye Zi stayed at the end of the team to take care of the rear, and carefully led everyone down the stairs... It wasn't that the two of them were making a fuss, but the sense of oppression that this haunted house brought to them. , definitely no less than the alien lair in Alien 2! It was as if a gaze filled with cold hatred was staring at them from a dark corner!
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened until everyone evacuated the haunted house safely. Standing under the moonlit night sky with few stars, almost everyone breathed a long sigh of relief involuntarily.
"Have those newcomers...left already?" Zheng Zha sighed, with a complicated look on his face. Those newcomers who did not listen to his advice and insisted on leaving, unless they were incredibly lucky, the chance of surviving was obviously extremely slim.
However, he couldn't sigh for long... because in the next second, Chu Xuan made a decision that stunned everyone present: he also planned to leave the team and act alone!
"There are some interesting things that I need to investigate." Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and spoke in an indifferent tone, as if he did not intend to discuss with everyone, but was simply stating a fact.
"Are you crazy if you act alone? This horror movie is extremely dangerous... Naga Coconut hasn't even appeared yet, but Ye Zi and I feel extremely threatened. If you are attacked by a ghost when you are alone, Isn’t that the same as committing suicide?”
In Zheng Zha's understanding, although Chu Xuan, as a researcher, was not incompetent, in terms of frontal combat, he was at best an ordinary person with excellent marksmanship. Therefore, he could not understand Chu Xuan's "irrational" decision at all. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he anxiously took a few steps forward and tried to stop him.
(Nowadays, Chu Xuan no longer wants to die, so... since he made this decision, it must be based on the premise that the arcane magic in his hands is enough to defend himself and he has enough confidence to protect himself. Well, if Kayako goes without opening his eyes If you attack him, I'm afraid he will be badly repaired.)
"Believe in Chu Xuan's judgment. A smart person like him will never do anything stupid." Patting Zheng Zha's shoulder, Ye Zi's sweet voice sounded beside him: "And, if If my expectations are correct...the information he intends to investigate should be crucial to our mission this time."
After listening to Ye Zi's persuasion, Zheng Zha hesitated for a long time and then nodded, with a look of helplessness on his face. However, he still asked without giving up: "How about... let me or Ye Zi go with you and act as your bodyguard? This way the security will be better..."
"no need."
Faced with Chu Xuan's decisive reply, Zheng Zha didn't say anything more, but took out a series of potentially useful props from Najie and handed them to Chu Xuan without explanation. The latter quietly looked at Zheng Zha, who still looked worried, his eyes unfathomable under his plain glasses. He did not refuse Zheng Zha's kindness, but silently sorted the props into categories and put them into his marching backpack.
"Be careful... If you encounter trouble, be sure to use the communicator to contact us. We will rush over as soon as possible." Zheng Zha babbled a few more words and extended his fisted right hand towards Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan hesitated for a rare moment, and finally raised his arm and gave Zheng Zha a light fist bump.
After scanning the crowd, Chu Xuan's eyes stayed in the direction of Ye Zi. He nodded slightly to Ye Zi, then turned around and left, disappearing into the boundless night. Ye Zi was left confused, thinking hard about the meaning of his just action.
(So, the Riddler and so on... are the most annoying! Boss, can't you speak human words properly? Do you want me to protect the Central Continent team during your absence? Or is there something else? Things need to be completed by my side? You should make it clear!)
Before Ye Zi had time to think about it, she instinctively felt a chill that made her hair stand on end. Following her instinct, she turned around and saw a pale female figure standing by the second floor window of the haunted house. . The woman's eyes were looking at everyone's position without blinking, and her deathly eyes were filled with resentment, hatred and murderous intent towards the living!
Yes, it is the notorious ghost in the Grudge series—Gaya Coco!
Zheng Zha, who turned around almost at the same time as Ye Zi, also subconsciously entered the gene lock state. He was already a little irritated because of Chu Xuan's departure. At this time, Kayako came to scare people again, which made him suddenly feel angry. He shouted angrily: "Are you fucking done yet?"
As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a small bottle of bright red blood emerged from the ring and fell into the palm of his hand. In response to Zheng Zha's anger, blazing red flames rose in his palm, wrapping the bottle of blood in it. Then, he waved his arm at an extremely fast speed, as if throwing a Molotov cocktail, and threw the bottle of blood away. The red "fireball" hit the ghost figure in the second-floor window.
Although Zhan Lan's reaction was half a beat slow, with Zheng Zha's roar, she came back to her senses and launched a mental power scan to extend her mental power in the direction of Kayako.
As a result, the next second...
The moment the blood-red "fireball" touched the window glass, it was like an ordinary flame falling into an oxygen-free environment. It went out silently. Only the container holding the blood still maintained its original shape. The kinetic energy smashed the window into pieces; Zhan Lan also grunted at the same time, a trace of blood came out of Qiong's nose, his figure shook, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.
As for the ghost at the window, after taking a glance at Zheng Zha, his figure slowly faded and disappeared... His cold eyes seemed to be mocking the death struggle of these "little bugs" who were overestimating their own abilities. generally!
Zhao Yingkong ducked out of the way and helped Zhan Lan, who was almost unsteady on his feet. Ye Zi also grabbed Zheng Zha and said in a calm tone: "Calm down, don't fall for the ghost's provocation... This is its home court. .”
----------
Before the sound of breaking glass attracted nearby residents or passers-by, the group left the scene in time. Along the way, through conversations with Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, Ye Zi roughly figured out what had happened previously.
Zheng Zha's attack just now was a small trick he had figured out in the past few days: he was in the room at the time, targeting raw pork, testing Hongyan's characteristic of "using flesh and blood as firewood", when he suddenly had an idea. An idea came to mind... If blood as fuel was put in a container like the famous "Molotov Cocktail" and then ignited with red flames, would it be possible to overcome the weakness of red flames that can only be used in close combat?
"The power of this 'Red Flame Molotov cocktail' is obviously inferior to that of the Red Flame in my hands, but extinguishing it is by no means that simple." After saying that, Zheng Zha's expression I added seriously... Being able to suppress Hong Yan with ease, Gao Ye's strength is obviously not to be underestimated!
And Zhan Lan also expressed her feelings just now: the moment she touched Kayako with her spiritual power, a chaotic and twisted chill came over her. Just like touching liquid nitrogen with bare hands will cause frostbite and necrosis to the entire hand, the same thing happens to the invisible and qualityless spiritual power! The mental power she detected was directly "necrotic" by a small amount, and the backlash it brought about made her head feel as if she had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
This kind of thing is absolutely unusual... According to Zhan Lan, when she tried to scan Zheng Zha's red flames and Ye Zi's magic power in the main god space, she did not feel burning or stagnant. This proves that no matter whether it is matter, Or energy, it is difficult to interfere with mental scanning. This was also the reason why she dared to "touch" Kayako with her mental power. Who knew that just this contact caused her to suffer a lot.
(Sure enough, under the influence of the butterfly effect, the weirdness and horror of Kayako is even more exaggerated?)
