The terrifying heavens inside the box

On the television screen, it was dark, and there was an ancient well.

The familiar scene made Lingzi feel as if she had been doused with ice water, and her blood instantly froze.

She instinctively held her breath and raised her hands to cover her mouth tightly.

Thinking back to the fact that this was the first time he had been so close to death, and then thinking of Yang Yi who had been alone at home for the past seven days... If it weren't for these people trying to use him as bait!

At this moment, Reiko's fear, despair, bitterness, and resentment were all intertwined.

"It's coming out!"

On the television, the figure of the woman in white had already climbed out of the ancient well, her black hair hanging down, and her illusory upper body was gradually overflowing the screen, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a real person.

The hearts of all the AID members present were in their throats, their guns fixed on the transparent container.

Just then.

"Snap!"

A blinding white lightning bolt struck the hillside, its light streaming into the windows and plunging the entire holiday home into darkness.

"The power is out!"

"Turn on the emergency flashlight!"

Several beams of white light lit up and focused on the transparent container covering the television.

"The target did not enter the container!"

"Baka!" the leader hissed. "Check the circuit immediately!"

"It was a lightning strike! The main power switch overloaded and burned out, causing a complete power outage that can't be repaired!"

By the light of their flashlights, the group stared at the pitch-black, lifeless television screen inside the container. It was the first time they had ever encountered such a strange situation.

Even if the medium in which a spirit was previously contained is affected or destroyed, it will continue to overflow into reality and will not be affected at all.

But the white-clad woman's figure that was about to appear suddenly shrank back into the image of the ancient well due to the power outage, disappearing without a trace!

This completely overturned their previous understanding of anomalous spirits.

If the new container fails to intercept anything, it means that the medium's rules are completely different from those of ordinary spirits.

If the power had been cut off any later, and that thing had actually crawled out, I'm afraid... none of them would have survived!

Thinking of this, the leader felt a cold sweat break out on his back. He suppressed his fear and ordered in a deep voice:

"Take Reiko Asakawa, the container, and the videotape, and evacuate immediately. Notify headquarters that we must change the location and devise a new containment plan!"

As soon as the group stepped out of the holiday home, the ground began to shake violently without warning.

"Run!" Lingzi's face turned pale as she instantly recalled the monstrous creature that had blotted out the sky when they first met.

The AID team members' expressions changed, and the leader at the very front of the group shouted sternly:

"Don't panic! According to observation records, this giant individual is not very aggressive. As long as it doesn't attack first..."

But before he could finish speaking, a giant foot joint covered in tentacles fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

The AID leader, who was speaking, was crushed into a large crater.

The remaining AID members were terrified, their formation instantly collapsed, and they scattered and fled to avoid the giant foot that could fall at any moment.

Reiko's heart pounded. Driven by the will to survive, she wanted to escape, but her gaze was fixed on the dark figure in the fog and the two headlights... Inside that car, a videotape that could kill her was playing.

Reiko knew better than anyone that this thing might be her only chance to break the curse.

Even if I escape, I might still die later!

In that case, Yang Yi would...

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and braved the tremors of the ground to rush forward.

Fortunately, when Lingzi rushed to the car, the door was unlocked and the key was still in the ignition.

She started the car and drove off in the opposite direction from the enormous vehicle...

……

Outside the box, seeing Asakawa Reiko successfully drive away, Wang Hao's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Do you even understand the value of Yu Zhenguan's TV series?!"

"It was worth it for me to cut off the power with lightning in time and bring Behemoth over to you."

He didn't feel that taking action was a waste of time for a protagonist who was willing to prove himself.

"However, since that well is now located beneath this holiday home..."

Wang Hao thought for a moment, but still chose not to take action.

Unlike Saeki Kayako, whose resentment gathers in the house and whose activity range is very fixed.

Sadako Yamamura's existence after death is more akin to a wandering resentment.

Her body was in the ancient well, which was also the main gathering place of resentment. However, with the birth of the first videotape, it may no longer be her only vessel.

To catch Sadako, this well alone probably won't be enough.

Just as he was pondering what to do, he suddenly discovered that Reiko in the box was in trouble again.

Just as Wang Hao was about to make a move after seeing the car almost completely engulfed by spiders, he noticed a tiny figure that shouldn't have been there, appearing at the edge of the box.

"Oh, now that he's here, things will be much easier."

……

Reiko Asakawa listened to the giant spider-like monsters that were constantly surging in from the roof, windows, and all around the car.

In particular, it looked like the car window was about to be smashed.

The fear in her heart had been magnified to the extreme.

But when she thought of her son at home, Lingzi was still filled with resentment!

But just when she thought she was going to die.

A bolt of lightning struck, charring the giant spider on the car window, while shouts and curses in foreign languages ​​echoed from the surrounding area.

"Is that all you've got?"

"Disgusting bugs!"

"hurry up!"

After a moment, Lingzi, who was stunned, noticed that someone outside was knocking on the car window.

"Hi!"

When the other person greeted her, she nodded subconsciously.

The people outside the car also gestured for Reiko to open the passenger door.

After much hesitation, she finally opened the car door.

Through her recent experience, Lingzi realized that she would most likely not be able to escape this fog on her own.

The foreign man with the crew cut picked up the glowing hammer as soon as he got on the bus.

The next moment, the light on the hammer faded.

"Ha! It really is you."

The other person smiled and put down the hammer.

"Hello, do you speak English?"

Seeing that Lingzi nodded, the foreign man introduced himself:

"My name is Kurtwarn. I don't speak much Japanese; the only phrases I know are a few I picked up on the plane..."

"My name is Reiko Asakawa. Are you also with AID?"

"AID? You're with AID?"

Seeing Reiko Asakawa shake her head, Kurt raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing about the fog that had appeared in America, he immediately contacted AID to inquire about the progress of the exploration.

However, AID was evasive and unwilling to provide any information, so Kurt had no choice but to use his position at the Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs headquarters to arrange a private plane to fly directly to the island nation.

After the plane landed, he ignored the AID receptionist and flew directly into the foggy area.

Kurt spent two days exploring this place.

In terms of ecology, it was similar to what he had experienced before.

After gathering enough data, Kurt was about to leave when he discovered that the hammer and chisel in his hand were glowing in one direction.

He quickly realized what was happening and followed the direction of the glowing hammer and chisel, searching all the way there.

I saw this vehicle with the AID logo.

But Kurt hadn't expected that the person he was looking for wasn't from AID, and out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask:

"So, Ms. Reiko Asakawa, who exactly are you?"

Seeing that the other person hesitated, Kurt thought for a moment and guessed the reason, saying, "Don't worry, we don't have a good relationship with AID."

Even so, Reiko was still somewhat hesitant to tell the truth.

After all, the lesson learned from telling the truth before is still fresh in my mind.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, but I think you're planning to leave here and you need my help, so consider it a ride for me."

Kurt saw through her concerns, but then he remembered the unusual movements of the hammer and chisel... This was related to the revelation of the Titans, so he simply stopped asking and chose to take a roundabout way and hitchhike together.

Reiko nodded this time, and the two drove slowly into the fog...
