"Was that...an illusion just now?" Zheng Zha stretched out his right hand, first made a fist with his five fingers and then opened them, and then looked at it carefully for a moment under the dim corridor light: No matter how you look at it, his right arm is still flexible and strong , without any trace of injury. But the severe pain that caused his skin, flesh, and bones to shatter just now was extremely clear and still remained in his consciousness.
In the setting of the Grudge series, Kayako does have illusion-like abilities... In the plot of "The Grudge 2 Video Version", the young victim named Suzuki Nobuyuki was originally on duty with his classmates in the classroom. But in a daze, he was dragged into an empty "world". In the school building of this "world", there are countless gay coconuts wandering around: pale figures are reflected on the glass in the corridor, and there are also many women in white clothes and white skirts wandering around the playground in the heavy rain. Although poor Suzuki Nobuyuki tried his best to escape, he was eventually blocked by two Kayako coconuts on a dead end road...
"This illusion is really weird and hard to guard against." Recalling the previous "fierce battle" with Kayako, Zheng Zha looked a little solemn and couldn't help but sigh. Just like when people are dreaming, it is difficult to detect logical loopholes... He also failed to realize at the time how unreasonable it was to "be chased by Kayako in the real world with Luo Li."
If he hadn't exploded in the moment of battle, beheaded Kayako and broke the illusion, but had been drained of his life force by Kayako... God knows what terrible things would have happened.
Zheng Zha thought hard for a while, how to guard against this kind of illusion, but found that he had no clue at all, so he could only comfort himself in the pain: "I can only block it with soldiers, and cover it with water... And after this fight, it is actually There is still some gain.”
That's right, just as the pain in his right arm was unforgettable and no different from reality, the realization of the inner force and blood clan energy at that time was also firmly engraved in his memory. If he is willing, he can let these two energies stir and collide together at any time in the same way as then.
(The moment when the internal force collided with the vampire energy, an unprecedentedly powerful energy burst out... The reason why my right arm collapsed was not for other reasons, but simply because the physical strength was insufficient and could not bear such an impact. It’s just a huge power. Then, if you only mobilize a small amount of internal force and a small amount of vampire energy...)
After carefully recalling the realization at that time, Zheng Zha, who roughly understood the principle, couldn't help but rub his hands and came up with a bold idea. He entered the gene lock state, devoted all his energy, and carefully mobilized the energy in his body: a small stream of vampire energy gathered into a red line, extending downward from the blood core on the top of his head, while a trickle of internal force also flowed from the Dantian. It gushes out and flows upward.
will die.
will die.
will die.
Just when the two energies were about to come into contact, a picture suddenly flashed through Zheng Zha's mind: Where he was standing now, only a pair of calves were left standing... And in the corridor a few meters around, there were like B It was like a scene in a horror movie, with minced meat and bones scattered everywhere, and the floor, walls and even the ceiling were dyed bloody red. Obviously, these are the last traces left above his calves.
At the same time, his instincts were screaming desperately, warning him that he must stop what he was trying to do... Faced with this extremely strong premonition of danger, Zheng Zha reacted without thinking, and he stopped abruptly. The energy and internal force of the vampires just a stone's throw away made them return to the blood core and dantian.
After taking a deep breath, Zheng Zha realized that in the two or three seconds when he had just "suicide", a thin layer of cold sweat had formed on his back.
----------
In the next few hours, Zheng Zha, who had learned his lesson, naturally did not dare to try that fatal skill again, and just kept watch. Unexpectedly, Kayako also disappeared and did not bother everyone again... It was rare for them to spend a peaceful second half of the night.
Early the next morning, Ye Zi and Ling Dian woke everyone up respectively. After everyone met in the corridor, Ming Yanwei supported Zhan Lan, who had weak legs and feet, and headed to the hotel's cafeteria for breakfast. Taking this opportunity, Zheng Zha told Ye Zi what happened in the second half of the night while drinking coffee.
(Is this... the prototype of an "explosion"? Well, as expected of you... Should I praise your powerful understanding, or should I lament that this is the inevitable fate of fate?)
Ye Zi held a cup of light orange drink in her hand and sipped it gracefully. She thought for a moment and answered Zheng Zha's previous worries - how to guard against the illusion of Kayako.
"If what I expected is correct, Kayako's 'illusion technique' has considerable limitations."
"First of all, when you fell into the illusion, Kayako did not take this opportunity to attack you who were defenseless. This is obviously not because it is merciless, but it is very likely that it cannot do it at all...perhaps in reality Disturbance will cause the illusion to be broken."
"Secondly, unlike Freddy's 'nightmare' that I once mentioned, the injuries in this fantasy will not be reflected in reality. This makes it much less threatening... Of course, with you As expected, if I am really killed by Kayako in the illusion, I am afraid there will be very bad consequences."
"Finally, I also have some immature ideas on how to counter Kayako."
"In the mission of "A Nightmare on Elm Street 1", we used the sacred power of the church to effectively restrain Freddy. In the world view of the Grudge, there is also a way to expel evil spirits and suppress resentful spirits. Supernatural power...well, although the psychics in the original plot were all in vain because of their poor skills, they were in vain in the face of the curse."
"But I think that instead of continuing to defend passively during the day and waiting for Kayako to make a move, why not visit the shrines and temples here? Maybe there will be some unexpected gains?"
(Ahem, strictly speaking, this is not reasoning, but reading the script...)
After listening to Ye Zi's analysis, Zheng Zha nodded thoughtfully and breathed a sigh of relief. Relieved, he turned his attention to a strange detail: "By the way, is this papaya milk you drank...?"
After being glared at by Ye Zi angrily, Zheng Zha realized that he seemed to have mentioned something that he shouldn't have mentioned. He scratched his head, laughed, and abruptly changed the subject.
----------
After finishing breakfast and returning to the floor where the guest room was located, Ye Zi first briefly introduced to everyone that the three unpreventable attacks by Curse last night made everyone more vigilant; The mentioned plan was repeated again in front of everyone.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Zi and Zheng Zha quickly made a plan: Zheng Zha would lead the team, and together with Zhang Jie, Ling Dian, and Ba Wang, three senior people, they would go to search for shrines and Buddhist temples, looking for someone who might be able to restrain Kayako. Props; while Ye Zi stayed in the hotel, helping Zhan Lan remove the negative energy injury on his leg, and taking care of the two newcomers at the same time.
After packing up the necessary equipment, the resolute Zheng Zha and his party left the hotel. When Ye Zi returned to the room, he asked Zhan Lan to lean on the couch and sat on the other end of the sofa.
She rolled up Zhan Lan's trouser legs, put her exquisite feet on her thighs, then put her hands on the injured area, took a deep breath, and entered the gene lock state. Under her concentrated control, the elf energy skillfully penetrated into Zhan Lan's skin and muscles, expelling the invading negative energy bit by bit without harming Zhan Lan.
During this process, Zhan Lan didn't feel any other abnormality, she only felt a comfortable cool feeling coming from her calf. After becoming familiar with the operation mode of elven energy, Ye Zi didn't have to be as nervous as at first, and even had the energy to interject a few words while Zhan Lan and Ming Yanwei were chatting.
As for Zhao Yingkong, for unknown reasons, she did not return to her room. Instead, she sat on a chair nearby and carefully observed Ye Zi's healing methods.
"Huh, it's finally done." After two or three hours, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief. After Zhan Lan confirmed that his legs were back to normal, he ended the treatment. But when she raised her head and looked around, she noticed an inconspicuous, yet extremely horrifying detail!
Zhao Yingkong, who had always been very quiet, was still looking in her direction, but the look in her pupils was a little abnormal... It was not the "confusion" caused by the gene lock, but her eyes were focused on the void, as if she had lost her soul. Empty!
