I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 12: Disaster
Night, Taiwan Island, Taichung, old temple.

A woman who looked to be about 35 years old, wearing a floral dress, was kneeling in front of the incense table in the temple. She kept kowtowing on the ground, her eye circles were dark, her eyeballs were filled with bloodshot, her breathing was a little rapid, her eyes were fixed on the golden statue in the shrine above the incense table, black liquid dripped from her cracked purple lips as she spoke word by word:
"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal, for saving all sentient beings from suffering."

Next to the incense table stood a man in his forties wearing a long soap-colored gown and a rosary around his neck. He held a bell in his hand and looked at the pitiful woman indifferently. There was no trace of sympathy in his eyes, and it seemed more like he was looking at an object...

July is close to the Ghost Festival. In places like Wandao, where there is a strong folk culture, many people burn incense and paper at home to worship their deceased elders and stranger ghosts.

The wind blew up the half-burned paper money on the ground, and it swirled up into the sky like dancing butterflies, chasing each other, and then fell down and hit a young man's chest...

"There's money to pick up just as you come here."

Chen Qingyuan took off the paper money from his chest and said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is only half a piece."

He disappeared from the vortex, passed through a magical and chaotic world, and when he came to his senses again, he was standing in a remote corner. He didn't expect that it was already night here.

The wind was howling and he almost caught a cold. He quickened his pace and walked down the street. Some signs and posters were in Chinese characters, and the atmosphere of burning paper was definitely not from a foreign country...

There was a store with lights on in the distance. Chen Qingyuan touched the Bagua Jade Talisman pressed against his chest and moved closer. Seeing nothing unusual, he pushed open the glass door and walked in.

This is a hotel.

There was a bench behind the check-in counter, on which lay a woman in her forties. When she heard the electronic bell at the door, she yawned and sat up. She opened her eyes with difficulty and glanced at Chen Qingyuan. Seeing that he was a young man, she said weakly, "Are you staying here? Give me your ID to register, and give me 1500..."

Chen Qingyuan took out his ID and money from his pocket and handed them over: "Thank you very much, please find me a room with windows." After he came out of the vortex, in addition to the things he already had, he also had an ID card and a stack of money in his pocket. He guessed that this was the working funds given by that gray world to facilitate his mission.

When the woman heard Chen Qingyuan's accent, she opened her eyes and carefully checked his ID. She half-jokingly said, "You are from the mainland. You are here so late at night. You must have sneaked in."

What you said is... I was afraid that you might sneak over there.

Chen Qingyuan laughed out loud: "Sister, stop joking. I'm a serious tourist. Who would sneak across the border these days? If I dare to register with you with my ID, I must have nothing to hide..."

The woman saw that Chen Qingyuan had handsome features and spoke clearly and fluently. She was not afraid of illegal immigrants, but she was afraid of those criminals. So she smiled awkwardly and returned the documents to Chen Qingyuan: "You are kidding, of course we are warm and hospitable. Be careful, and you can live here with peace of mind, right?"

Chen Qingyuan responded with a few words, took the room card and found his room. It was quite clean, with a window and a shower. After taking a shower, he felt much more refreshed...

When he caught a glimpse of the hotel's address written on the bar counter, he knew he had arrived at Wandao. The accent was unique to Wandao.

He stood in front of the window, feeling the wind, looking at the dark scenery with only vague outlines in the distance...

I don’t know what the mission is this time.

If it's not a big rush, just walk around and take a look around to ease your nerves, it's a "public expense" travel.

Chen Qingyuan reached into his pocket and felt around. Hmm? What he felt out was not the pager he bought in Hong Kong, but a brand new top-of-the-line smartphone...

Turn on the screen and slide the screen, the time shows 23: pm on July rd of the lunar calendar in the rd year.

This timing is good, he doesn't have to spend time adapting to the inconvenience of the environment.

Ding……

A loud text message alert sounded. I opened the text message and saw a message: "A-Dai cannot forget the death of his senior sister. Please do your best to protect his senior sister and eliminate the source of danger."

Dumb?

Crayon Shin-chan?

Chen Qingyuan was sure that he had never heard of any movie protagonist named A-Dai, but he did know one named Forrest Gump.

The sender of the message is blank.

Chen Qingyuan had a mischievous thought and typed a text message to reply: "I don't know what kind of world this is. You have to do the task yourself!"

Message sent!
Ding!
Almost immediately my inbox rang with a new text message containing a video file. When I opened it, it turned out to be a movie.

He smiled...

Quite humane...

Edit the message again and send: [Give me more help, the more practical the better. ]

I waited for a long time this time, but there was no text message reply.

Chen Qingyuan lay on the bed and started watching the video. Sure enough, this was also a horror movie.

It’s called [Transformation], and it’s a new work shot by Wandao. The content is as follows.

The heroine Wang Yufan's aunt lost her child and believed in a superstitious cult and tried to resurrect the child, but was deceived and disappeared.

Wang Yufan had a deep affection for his aunt and was willing to do anything to get her back. Seeking help from the police was futile, and he heard from others that there was a god who could make any wish come true, so he and several classmates decided to perform a ceremony to invite the god.

The hero, A'Dai, is the son of the abbot of a temple. He was born with a magical hand that can drive away evil spirits. He likes Wang Yufan, and fearing that something might happen to Wang Yufan, he brings a statue of the god from home to help. However, he is one step too late, and the ritual of inviting the god turns out to be inviting evil spirits, causing everyone present to be cursed.

In the following time, the classmates died one by one, including the senior who was on the mission.

As things fermented and unfolded, it turned out that Wang Yufan's aunt had joined a cult whose deity was a demon fairy who tempted believers with wishes and devoured their lives to grow.

The demon fairy took a fancy to Wang Yufan's body and tried to take over his body. After a fierce battle, with the joint efforts of A-Dai and his parents, the demon fairy was finally eliminated.

But the ending of the movie still leaves suspense.

My aunt's husband brought her a cup of magic water and told her to drink it, claiming that he had found a new way to revive the child. At the same time, a stream of blood flowed from his nose, and he was obviously cursed. This showed that the demon fairy had not been truly destroyed, but was hiding in the darkness, stirring up trouble and waiting for an opportunity to strike...

After watching the movie, Chen Qingyuan was silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "Awesome."

Don't the difficulty of issuing quests have to be increased layer by layer? In the previous world on the murder list, I dealt with a ghost child, but in this world, it was directly upgraded to the level of a demon fairy. Although this "fairy" is not a real fairy, but similar to the five fairy guarding the home in the northeast of the mainland, Huang, Bai, Hu, Liu and Hui, he is still not something ordinary people can deal with.

Look at the protagonist Ah Dai, who has a ghost hand, but he still crawled on the ground after being beaten...
