Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 197 Plot Analysis
The story of the movie version of "The Ring" begins when Reiko Asakawa takes her son back to her parents' home and is divided into two sequels.

In the sequel to the first version, "The Ring", although Asakawa Reiko's son copied the videotape and showed it to his grandfather, the little boy was still killed by Sadako after seven days.

Reiko Asakawa, who was driving her son home at the time, panicked when her son was killed and eventually died in a car accident.

It is worth mentioning that after watching the cursed videotape, Reiko Asakawa's father did not continue to copy the videotape, but destroyed the videotape and committed suicide before the seven-day curse came.

The male and female protagonists of the movie "The Ring" are Takayama Ryuji's college classmate Ando Mitsuo and Takayama Ryuji's female student Takano Mai.

When Ando was dissecting Takayama Ryuji's body, he found a secret code left by Takayama Ryuji, and was tricked by Takayama Ryuji into embarking on a journey of no return to investigate Sadako's curse.

This man has been suffering from world-weariness due to his son's accidental death and has attempted suicide many times. After discovering that the cursed videotape would kill more people as it spread, he did not copy the cursed videotape after watching it and tried to destroy all of it.

But after he destroyed all the cursed videotapes, he couldn't help but fall into the fear of death... According to the information he knew at the time, he had no way to break the curse.

Out of the instinct to pass on his genes, Ando had sex with Mai Kono, who was cooperating with his investigation, on the seventh day of his curse, when he was dying.

——All of this was within Takayama Ryuji's calculations, all for the purpose of bringing Sadako back to life.

Ando's behavior directly led to Sadako's mutation into a new way of transmission.

The curse mutated again.

Ando thus lifted the curse for himself, but the virus curse that mutated into a 'tadpole-like' shape spread to Kono Mai, and Sadako was reborn into this world with the help of Kono Mai's body.

After her rebirth, Sadako Yamamura grew into an adult in just seven days.

After this mutation, Sadako has evolved into a hermaphrodite, capable of self-reproduction, and also has the ability to give birth to a new Sadako if a woman is infected with the curse.

Not only that, the interview notes left by Reiko Asakawa also became the medium for Sadako to spread the curse.

Just reading the notes once will infect you with the curse.

After her rebirth, Sadako Yamamura still has the ability to resurrect her target with the target's DNA. She uses the resurrection of Ando's son as a deal to let Ando help her obtain Takayama Ryuji's DNA to resurrect Takayama Ryuji who helped her rebirth.

After obtaining help from the resurrected Takayama Ryuji, she published Asakawa Reiko's notes as a novel, and even based on the novel, Sadako herself played Sadako in the movie "The Ring". At this rate of infection, the whole world will soon be completely occupied by Sadako.

The movie ends here. In the original novel, Takayama Ryuji's purpose of using Sadako's resurrection was to kill Sadako completely.

His body was conceived by Sadako, so he also inherited all of Sadako's genes.

Based on the mechanism by which Sadako gave birth to herself quickly, Takayama Ryuji developed a new 'virus' that causes the life conceived by Sadako to age rapidly. Countless Sadakos aged rapidly just after they were born, and eventually died of exhaustion before they had much impact on human society.

The sequel to "The Ring" basically follows the setting of the original novel, and it is more like a science fiction movie.

There is no doubt that the audience who originally wanted to watch a horror movie did not buy into this movie, so the box office and reputation of this movie were not satisfactory.

So, "The Ring" had a second supernatural sequel "The Haunting of Sadako".

In this sequel, Sadako survives for over thirty years after being pushed down a well. Her curse is described as a "spiritual energy," a force of despair and resentment that has accumulated within the dark waters for thirty years. In "Sadako's Curse," not only does Sadako's curse affect those who view the videotape, but those who are closely connected to the cursed individual who views it are also affected by the curse, leading to mental disorder and even death.

In this movie, Reiko Asakawa and her son did not die immediately, but they were still affected by Sadako.

Under the influence of Sadako's curse, Yoichi, the son of Asakawa Reiko and Takayama Ryuji, witnessed his mother's death in a car accident in front of him. He also became the target of the experiment. His fate seemed to overlap with Sadako's, and he was almost about to become a second Sadako.

Unlike Sadako, Yoichi finally climbed out of the conceptual "well" under the care of Kono Mai, and both of them were saved.

This sequel abandons the science fiction setting of the original novel and defines the entire series as a supernatural film.

In the eyes of the reincarnators, the difficulty of both sequels is not low.

No matter which sequel it is, Sadako's performance is extraordinary.

Of course, in Xu Feng's opinion, the worldview adopted by the first version of the sequel is more dangerous...

He still didn't know what kind of worldview this world was, but in the moment of trial just now, he had a bad premonition.

Sadako's telekinesis is very strong, much stronger than Shoko's!
So the question is - how could Sadako, who possesses such powerful telekinesis, be trapped by a not-so-heavy stone slab?!

Xu Feng thought of several possibilities, but each possibility meant that this world was extremely difficult.

Don't act rashly.

——His original plan was to drop two "Mr. Ivan" missiles at the well where Sadako was sealed as soon as he got away from the landing point. One "Clean Clothes Faction" missile with an equivalent of 100 million tons was used to blow up the seal, and the other "Dirty Clothes Faction" missile with an equivalent of 300 million tons was used to finish off the enemy.

He wasn't sure if a demon like Sadako could be killed by a nuclear bomb, but if even those two consecutive hits couldn't kill Sadako, then it wouldn't be shameful to escape to the sun immediately.

Now, Xu Feng found that his original plan was a bit hasty.

If the worst possibilities are really the case, a nuclear bomb as a weapon would at most only anger Sadako.

"If it's not one of those scenarios, then it won't be too late to plant those two mushrooms after six days... But if it's really one of the worse possibilities, then they'll have to grow for a while longer!"

Xu Feng was secretly calculating.

His strongest ability after strengthening the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is his development ability. The destructive power he can display when he just entered the reincarnation world is completely different from that of him who has been developing in the reincarnation world for a day.

If he were given a week to build it, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to completely destroy the island.

With this plan, Xu Feng led the reincarnations of the East China Sea team onto a bus in a hidden place - this was also created by him using the power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit when the newcomers were not paying attention. Apart from feeling that the bus was a little newer, the newcomers did not find anything wrong at all.

Driven by Park Chang-ho, the vehicle began to move towards Tokyo.
