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

Chapter 278 An Unbreakable Curse! Kayako's Fate Unknown! (4k)

Lu Ming never expected that this so-called extra mission would actually be to increase the difficulty of the original dungeon by merging the two completely different worldviews of [Ju-on] and [Summoning Souls].

However, at the very bottom of the main panel, there is a line of small, easily overlooked text.

Current integration progress: 1%

"There's a progress in the fusion? In other words, I won't have to face the worldview of the fusion of Summoning Souls and Ju-on right from the start. There's a short buffer period before that."

"However, if you complete the main quest directly during this short buffer period, you won't get the extra rewards, so you must carefully manage the progress of the dungeon..."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment.

Without a doubt, among the seven-star horror movie dungeons he has seen so far, the [Ju-on] dungeon is definitely the most difficult and the scariest.

In this situation, if the [Summoning] world is further integrated, not to mention ordinary sixth-tier challengers, even Lu Ming would have to be extremely cautious to avoid being caught off guard and losing his life.

In the void of darkness, there was only Lu Ming.

He stretched out his hand, and the illusory points of light in front of him converged into the shape of a die.

The die that suddenly appeared in Lu Ming's hand tumbled around, and what landed facing up was not any number, but one of the corners of the die.

"Now that we've accepted the extra mission, there's no point in thinking about it too much. We can only take it one step at a time..."

With a slight thought, the void shattered, and Lu Ming, who was left alone, entered the instance just like the other challengers.

The Ju-on instance has officially begun!
···········
Island country.

On the campus of a university.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a tourist hotspot known as the land of cherry blossoms. Although it looks like just an ordinary university campus, its scenery rivals that of many dedicated tourist attractions.

The campus was filled with pink cherry blossoms, their heavy branches laden with blossoms, some of which had fallen to the ground, creating a pink path with a delicate fragrance.

"Have we... been transported directly to a Japanese school campus?"

As their consciousness gradually returned and they regained their senses, Lu Ming and the others were finally able to see their surroundings clearly.

The view outside the window was breathtaking, and they were currently in a small office.

All five were wearing school uniforms and appeared to be students at this university.

It has to be said that the island nation does a better job than China in designing school uniforms. Lu Ming, wearing this uniform and standing there quietly, looks like a Japanese idol.

Of course, there is also a theory that the reason why the uniforms in China are designed so "unbearably" is not because the Chinese designers have poor aesthetic sense, but because the school leaders did it on purpose.

However, no matter what, while dressing is important, the person dressing it also has a good foundation.

Another overweight challenger stood nearby; the uniform looked somewhat bulky on him, and his blank stare added to his overall dazed appearance.

Lu Ming ignored the others who were looking around. He simply frowned slightly and accepted the memory that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

The appearance of this short memory will not affect the original owner's perception of the world.

On the contrary, these memories are created to help challengers integrate into the instance more quickly, belonging to a brand new identity that needs to be adapted to.

"I'm Lu Ming, an international student. Under my parents' supervision, I always had excellent grades since I was little. But after coming to this university three years ago, I became lazy..."

Lu Ming's thoughts were only halfway through when he was interrupted by the female teacher in front of him, who wore glasses, had a small and cute face, and a hot figure.

Her voice had a certain tightness that enveloped him, making Lu Ming feel very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Strangely, Lu Ming was certain that this was the first time he had ever met this female teacher.

"Lu Ming, the final exams are coming up soon. Have you learned everything the teacher taught in class?"

Having said all that, even without the extra memory to aid him, Lu Ming would certainly understand his current predicament.

Reincarnated as a university student in Sakura Country, I also have a sexy university professor who provides one-on-one tutoring.

However, Amin's university grades were not ideal...

"Are you kidding me? Why is it starting like this? There has never been a similar scene in the Ju-on dungeon, not even in the Summoning of Souls dungeon."

Even if Zhang Ning and the others didn't know, Lu Ming was fully aware of it.

The most terrifying place in Ju-on is Kayako's haunted house.

As long as you don't get involved with Kayako or step into that eerie haunted house, the world of Ju-on is almost no different from the normal world.

Would God be so kind as to send them to a place far away from the haunted house of Ju-on?
Without even thinking about it, the answer is definitely no.

If that's the case, then the main quest issued by the God Realm wouldn't be "to survive the curse of the haunted house and completely eliminate Kayako's haunted house within a week."

···········
Just then, the other male teacher in the office stood up and greeted the other female teacher with a smile: "Ms. Ishihara, I'll be leaving now. My wife is waiting for me at home. She's not very able to do things right now, so I need to take care of her. If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay, Ms. Kobayashi, take care on your journey."

What seemed like an ordinary conversation in the office immediately alerted Lu Ming.

Teacher Kobayashi?

Based on the Ju-on universe, if Lu Ming's guess is correct, this Kobayashi is most likely Kayako's college classmate, Kobayashi Shunsuke.

"So this is where I was waiting..."

"If things had gone according to the normal timeline, both Kobayashi Shunsuke and his wife would have met with extremely tragic ends."

"However, it seems... we haven't reached the time point I predicted yet."

Many terrifying things have not yet happened, and it is even very possible that Kayako has not yet died tragically and become a vengeful ghost.

What Lu Ming was thinking about wasn't anything difficult to understand.

So it wasn't just him; the four challengers beside him all had the same idea.

Zhang Ning's expression brightened, and he said, "If that's the case, then dealing with Kayako won't be difficult..."

The fat man clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right! We can just run to Kayako's house and blow it up. If Kayako resists, we can kill her too." Because the group wasn't speaking Japanese, the female teacher didn't immediately understand what they were discussing.

Zhang Ning frowned upon hearing the fat man's words and cursed:

"What a brainless idiot! If it weren't for the fact that your abilities are somewhat useful, who would want to take you along? Don't you even think about why Kayako became such a terrifying vengeful ghost? To put it bluntly, it's because she died so unjustly that her vengeful spirit condensed into a vengeful ghost... If we just run over and blow up her house without saying a word, and kill her whole family, Kayako will be even more terrifying after she becomes a ghost, and the first one she'll kill will be us!"

His words were not alarmist, but rather a very likely fact.

"Then, Brother Ning... what do you suggest we do?"

"It's simple. Whether Kayako has a crush on Kobayashi Shunsuke or not is irrelevant. All we need to do is find the notebook she hid and destroy it completely, and then nothing will ever happen again..."

"Think about it, if Kayako had continued to live a normal life, there would be no such thing as a haunted house. We manipulated cause and effect in the past and destroyed a haunted house that might have appeared in the future. How can that not be considered as completing our mission in a roundabout way?"

The other three applauded after hearing Zhang Ning's arrangement.

"Okay, Brother Ning, I'll do as you say!"

···········
Lu Ming stood right beside them, without saying a word.

It's obvious that Zhang Ning underestimated the difficulty of the Seven Star Dungeon.

Not to mention the final Ju-on episode.

If this instance doesn't have a bug like the Mysterious Resurrection World, they will be directly teleported to the point in time when Kayako already existed, and their spawn point will be that terrifying haunted house.

This kind of opening is exciting and suspenseful enough.

But why would the God Realm choose to place them at an earlier point in time?
Lu Ming believed that the God must have some reason for doing this.

"First, we need to determine whether we are actually cursed by a haunted house..."

With a slight thought, the scene before them changed, and they found themselves leaving the female teacher's office and arriving at a quiet corner of the campus.

The place looked quiet, but a couple was sitting side by side on a bench by the roadside, their clothes covering their legs, and it was unclear what they were doing.

The sudden appearance of Lu Ming and his group startled them at first. Then, the two began to stare at Lu Ming and his group, seemingly trying to express their dissatisfaction and drive them away.

Lu Ming's face was gloomy, and he said coldly in fluent Japanese, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll beat you all up."

The boy muttered something unintelligible, stood up, hunched over, and took the girl's hand as they walked out of the grove.

After eliminating these external distractions, Lu Ming found himself holding a pair of red scissors.

The scissors have an old-fashioned design, but their color is incredibly vibrant, as if they've been soaked in blood for a long time, which is why they look like this now.

"Lu Ming, what are you trying to do?"

Lu Ming ignored Zhang Ning's doubts and quietly took the ghost scissors in his hand.

The next moment, from his perspective, the whole world changed.

The sound of dripping water began to reach his ears, and several blurry ghostly figures would occasionally flash by in the quiet grove. There was even a bloody child's head rolling down to Lu Ming's feet.

This is a special function brought by the Ghost Scissors, which can help Lu Ming see some supernatural mediums that he cannot normally see.

Amidst this chaotic mix of media, Lu Ming immediately spotted a gray line that had appeared out of nowhere.

"As expected... the curse has already entangled us. The Main God Space is not so kind as to give us an easy mode dungeon to clear for free."

The thread extended from somewhere and connected to Lu Ming. It was very light in color and could be completely ignored if you weren't paying attention.

Upon noticing the gray line, Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly, and he attempted to cut it off with the scissors.

He hadn't used the Ghost Scissors for a while, and he had even cleansed them with ghost blood before leaving the mysterious resurrection world.

Even if the curse represented by that gray line is very powerful, he is not afraid.

If you can't cut it once, cut it twice.

If you can't cut it twice, then cut it three times.

In any case, Lu Ming won't suffer any backlash from the Ghost Scissors for the time being.

But a bizarre scene soon unfolded.

The rusty blades of the ghost scissors closed, attempting to cut the gray line, but Lu Ming discovered that the ghost scissors simply passed right through the gray line and closed.

Nothing happened.

It was as if the gray line was just his illusion, or perhaps it wasn't something that existed in the real world at all, something that even the ghost scissors capable of cutting off eyelashes couldn't touch.

"That's absolutely impossible... Every supernatural curse has a medium involved, and my ghost scissors can cut it off..."

"If, with the enhancement of the main body space, Kayako's supernatural power has truly reached an outrageous level, it's still acceptable that my Ghost Scissors can't cut the curse. But why... can't the Ghost Scissors even make contact?"

Lu Ming had never seen or even heard of such a situation before.

Several possibilities flashed through his mind.

Then Lu Ming shook his head again: "When dealing with paranormal events, the two types of people I fear most are either reckless people who don't consider anything, or people who overthink and complicate things too much..."

"These two types of people have the highest mortality rate in paranormal events."

"At this point in time, Kobayashi Shunsuke hasn't been harmed yet, but that doesn't mean Kayako hasn't. It's possible that Kayako has become a vengeful ghost, and our memories of entering Kayako's haunted house have been erased by the Supreme God..."

"No matter what, we still need to see Kayako with our own eyes before we can draw a conclusion."

Regardless, Lu Ming must see Kayako in person to ascertain her current condition before making any further plans.

This time, even Lu Ming felt that the supernatural event was somewhat troublesome.

The entire incident seems shrouded in mystery, the truth buried within. They are already cursed by Kayako's haunted house, the curse could erupt at any moment, and death is a possibility…
