We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 277 A world view that blends Ju-on and Summoning! Is Kayako a young woman? (4k)
Lu Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a smiling man with several people beside him who appeared to be his teammates.

This guy didn't make a good first impression on Lu Ming. There wasn't any particular reason, but if you had to say, it was just a feeling.

"So? How about you consider it?"

The challenger seemed completely unaware that Lu Ming was already annoyed with him, and continued to extend an invitation to Lu Ming while still smiling.

Lu Ming glanced at him casually: "Top secret intelligence? To be honest, at your current level, I really don't believe you can produce any valuable intelligence."

Lu Ming's words were very impolite, sounding almost like a direct provocation.

But in reality, Lu Ming didn't have that idea at all.

He wasn't so bored as to get angry with a mere sixth-tier challenger; he was simply speaking his mind.

However, sometimes, it is the truth that hurts the most.

Upon hearing this, the challenger's smile froze on his face, and his expression changed several times.

He had considered that Lu Ming might refuse his proposal, and had even prepared his words of persuasion, but he never expected Lu Ming to say such harsh and merciless things.

The reason this happened is ultimately because they failed to understand Lu Ming's true state of mind.

No matter who it is, once they reach Lu Ming's current level, they won't deliberately care about the feelings of those below them.

After a long silence, the challenger finally calmed down a bit and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lu is joking. I am Zhang Ning from the Central Chamber of Commerce. I am indeed just a small fry, but the top-secret information I have comes from the hands of several major challenger forces... Its authenticity is beyond doubt."

"I know Mr. Lu is very strong and confident in his abilities... But when facing a completely unknown, horror movie-level challenge with a difficulty level of seven stars, it's always good to be more prepared, isn't it?"

Early in the operation, Zhang Ning had been informed multiple times that Lu Ming was very strong, and that even if the six sixth-level challengers joined forces, they would not be able to kill him.

Therefore, no matter what happens, you must never force it.

Otherwise, given Zhang Ning's fiery temper, she would have already attacked Lu Ming.

"The Central Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Ming originally did not intend to continue to pay attention to Zhang Ning, who seemed somewhat inexplicable or even malicious to him.

After all, he was extremely familiar with the plot of "Ju-on".

No matter how explosive the so-called "top secret intelligence" that Zhang Ning possesses is, can it possibly compare to Lu Ming's memories of Ju-on?

Bringing these level 6 challengers into a horror movie dungeon of level 7 difficulty would be like providing them with free protection.

But upon hearing the familiar name of the Central Chamber of Commerce, a faint, stiff smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips.

"Top secret intelligence, right? Okay, you can follow me. But let me make this clear: if anyone disobeys my orders, I'll kill them."

"..."

The challengers fell silent for a moment.

Their original intention was to team up with Lu Ming and challenge the horror movie instance together.

But judging from Lu Ming's current attitude, he doesn't see them as teammates, but rather as mere slaves.

You must obey orders completely; disobeying orders means death...
However, in order to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear the consequences.

"What's wrong? You don't want to? If you don't want to... I'll go in by myself."

After saying that, Lu Ming made a move to enter the dark red Seven Stars instance directly.

"Wait! We promise you..."

"Fine, I don't care anyway."

"That...top secret intelligence?"

"Just tell me as you walk."

···········
Lu Ming seemed indifferent to the top-secret information in Zhang Ning's possession.

It's important to know that if challengers could obtain information in advance, their success rate in clearing the horror movie dungeon would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

In the God Realm, information is the absolute advantage.

However, Lu Ming showed no respect for the top-secret information they possessed, and even made them talk about it as they walked.

Is this guy really that strong, or is his awareness just too poor, unable to realize the importance of the [Ju-on] information?
···········
This time, the many challengers who were watching the spectacle were smarter than before. They didn't mock Lu Ming as they always did, and at most, they gathered in groups of three or five and whispered a few words.

After all, he was always humiliated by this ghost groom, Lu Ming.

Even the thickest skin will hurt if you get slapped too many times.

Including Lu Ming, there were a total of five people who chose to enter the instance one after another.

A semi-transparent main god panel appeared in front of them simultaneously, and they both selected the "Confirm Entry" option.

At this stage, all the challengers except Lu Ming showed signs of nervousness.

The top-secret intelligence they obtained was related to the "Ju-on" curse, which was obtained by several major challenger factions at the cost of exorbitant amounts of points. The points used were astronomical for ordinary challengers, something most wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, the Seven Star Dungeon that appeared in the Main God Space this time is very special. There is no designated dungeon. Instead, it will be randomly selected from [Ju-on] and [Summoning Souls].

Judging from the names alone, neither "Ju-on" nor "Zhao Hun" reveals much useful information; they are both unknown entities.

However, they have obtained a lot of information related to Ju-on.

If the final result is Ju-on, then everyone's survival rate will increase significantly.

Conversely, if you draw the summoning spell, then it truly depends on fate.

They had never even heard of this horror movie copy before.

Lines of small white text slowly appeared on the main god panel.

[Entering the horror movie arc, Ju-on!]

As these white characters appeared, the countless orbs of light surrounding everyone disappeared one by one.

[This instance's mission: Survive the curse of the Ju-on haunted house and completely eradicate Kayako's haunted house within a week!]

This time, the dungeon quest finally appeared before everyone.

"Good! It really is Ju-on!"

"This is it... Having obtained top-secret information in this eerie world beforehand, and with our strength ranking among the best of the sixth-tier challengers, I never imagined I'd be able to clear a horror movie-themed dungeon on seven-star difficulty..."

Before the dungeon appeared, these challengers were filled with trepidation and unease.

Now they can enter the instance with peace of mind.

If they wanted to play it safe, choosing to bring top-secret information into this Seven Star Dungeon was definitely not a wise choice.

But Lu Ming had reached the point of his final challenge.

If he misses this opportunity, he will truly become one of the seventh-tier challengers.

Zhang Ning, who was in charge, quickly got into the zone and began analyzing the mission in the midst of a void: "Kayako... I have an impression of this Kayako. There are records of her in the top-secret intelligence."

Hearing this, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. He hadn't paid much attention to the top-secret information these people possessed before, but he hadn't expected it to actually be useful, directly recording Kayako's relevant characteristics. It just goes to show that the high price was justified; those people from the Central Chamber of Commerce weren't fools.

"What do you mean? Let me see."

Zhang Ning waved his hand, and a large number of dense characters appeared on the semi-transparent main panel in front of everyone.

"So much intelligence? And all of it is absolutely true?"

Lu Ming's brows furrowed even deeper.

If he could truly provide a detailed account of the story of Ju-on, including its key characters, then one of his most significant advantages over other challengers would disappear.

Perhaps this is the difference between those from humble backgrounds and those with formal training.

He suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen before.

In this world, power and influence matter!
"Important character introduction: Kayako, 28 years old, female, married, with one son, still harbors romantic fantasies about her university classmates after marriage..."

This is the complete description of Kayako in the top-secret intelligence report.

After reading these introductions, Lu Ming fell silent for a moment.

If he hadn't watched Ju-on before, the only impression these introductions left on him was that "Kayako is a married woman who has cheated on her husband," which was extremely misleading. Although the information was true, it was basically useless.

Indeed, this was the case. Zhang Ning and the others, who were unaware of the plot beforehand, were completely bewildered after seeing the records in the top-secret intelligence.

In the group, a chubby man with a rather dull appearance asked in confusion, "Is this Kayako a young woman?"

Why did we destroy the young woman's house?

Zhang Ning glared at him irritably: "What do you mean by 'young married woman' or 'ghost wife'? Is that the point? Based on my experience clearing dungeons before, this Kayako is probably someone who was sexually frustrated and was caught by her husband, then killed and became a ghost. What do you know?"

"..."

It must be said that although Zhang Ning is also quite abstract, his basic reasoning ability is still present.

It roughly explains the cause and effect of Kayako becoming a demon.

However, knowing this is of no use.

If you're destined to die, you'll still die.

“Here, take these. Since they are ghosts who died unjustly, that makes things easier. These four jade pendants were redeemed by our guild using points in the God's Shop. They can effectively ward off resentment.”

Zhang Ning and his three companions quickly began to explain their previous speculations in their minds.

Ju-on (The Grudge) – just from the name, you can tell it's related to resentment.

No matter what, those jade pendants in his hand will definitely come in handy.

However, when Zhang Ning distributed the jade pendants, he naturally skipped Lu Ming and didn't give him one.

Lu Ming ignored the four of them and didn't care about Zhang Ning's behavior.

He never considered those four guys as his teammates.

The feud with the Central Chamber of Commerce has already begun.

Regardless of what Zhang Ning does, whether he has good intentions or bad intentions, Lu Ming will use him as a tool in the dungeon later, and then kill him after he's done with him.

···········
Lu Ming quickly browsed through all the information in the top-secret intelligence report.

He felt that although the Main God Space was ruthless, it wasn't this ruthless as to not provide any useful information.

As expected, over 90% of this so-called "top secret intelligence" was nonsense.

Only a small fraction of the intelligence is truly useful.

For example, the final solution given was how to survive the curse of a haunted house.

"The only way to survive the curse of the haunted house is... never to step into that haunted house again..."

"Well, it's like saying nothing at all; it's not really of any use anyway."

Although it sounds like nonsense, I have to say that this information is quite accurate.

Kayako can not only control space, but also manipulate time.

No matter when you step into a haunted house, you will be forever entangled by the curse.

In the original film, no one actually survived the curse.

Not to mention, they are challenging a horror movie instance with a seven-star difficulty level this time, and the God Space is very likely to buff Kayako.

After preparations were completed, a feeling of weightlessness came without warning.

Everyone else disappeared into the void of darkness, and only Lu Ming entered another unique space.

The scattered white light in front of him once again converged into lines of small white text, forming new prompts on the main god panel.

[An additional task has been triggered. Do you want to accept it?]

[Bonus Reward for Completing the Mission: One "Haunted House"]

Lu Ming looked at the prompts on the main god panel, his expression shifting slightly, seemingly showing some dissatisfaction.

This is not Lu Ming's fault.

It can only be said that the God Realm is becoming increasingly sinister.

Previously, each task was an extra task, which not only allowed him to choose whether to accept it, but also provided the specific details of the extra task in advance.

This time, although Lu Ming was still given the choice, the specific details of the task were not given. He was only asked whether he would accept it, and the rewards for completing the task were listed in a tempting manner.

"A haunted house..."

"If we convert such rewards into the rules of a mysteriously revived world, could we interpret it as a supernatural place under my control?"

"Moreover, this haunted house is definitely not an ordinary haunted house; it must be related to Kayako..."

After a moment's thought, Lu Ming chose to accept.

Although he wasn't the type to take risks in everything, he simply couldn't refuse the reward offered by the Supreme God this time.

Even knowing that there was a pit ahead, Lu Ming still had to jump in.

After accepting the mission, a new prompt quickly appeared on the main god panel, with white dots converging into small text.

【...】

[An additional task has been triggered]

[The current instance has been changed from the Ju-on world to a fusion of Ju-on and Conjuring universes, with the level of horror increased to match!]

[Bonus Mission: Complete the original main quest within the fusion world of Ju-on and The Conjuring!]
