Under Kasumigaoka Utaha's somewhat jealous gaze, Shiraha started the car, picked up the four girls, and slowly drove towards the TV station.
As for how to find a TV station?
Drones can be very useful.
Yukino pulled down the window, took out a drone from her storage ring, and casually tossed it out the window.
Squeak, squeak...
As soon as the drone landed, it quickly rose and flew into the clouds.
With a soft "click" from the hatch behind, many tiny wasp drones, even smaller than the main body, flew out.
This futuristic, sci-fi-style drone has a built-in rechargeable power supply and boasts an amazing battery life.
It also comes equipped with a stun gun, grenade bombing equipment, and object locator, making it a multi-functional device.
Most importantly, it can automatically create maps to help people find their destinations.
Boo hoo hoo...
One after another, Wasp drones pierced through the clouds and landed in the city.
They zipped through the streets and alleys at high speed.
Yukino opened the tablet and watched as a three-dimensional city map gradually appeared on the screen.
These are all Wasp drones, which quickly deploy small sub-units during their shuttle missions to perform map drawing.
"Will this work?" Eriri asked curiously.
Bai Yu and the other two took out one piece of equipment after another, making her feel as ignorant as a caveman.
“Okay.” Yukino glanced at her sideways and replied calmly.
The Wasp drone even flew at the speed of sound.
As for future technology, just think of it as God having cheat codes.
After half an hour.
The city map has been successfully drawn.
Yukino waved her hand out the window, retrieving the Craftsman Drone back into her storage ring, and pointed in the direction of Shiraha: "Go east, it's a 20-minute walk. The TV station isn't far from here."
"Understood." Bai Yu nodded, turned the steering wheel around, and stepped on the accelerator.
Having a capable teammate definitely makes things much easier.
During the 20-minute drive to the TV station...
During this time, the four girls were not idle either; they searched the internet and gathered more relevant information.
First of all.
The country where this instance is located is very similar to an island nation on Earth.
The timeframe was roughly mid-2005.
Although the internet is not yet fully developed, it has gradually grown and allows access to a great deal of information.
Kasumigaoka Utaha took out her laptop and used advanced technology to connect to the local area network, accessing a wealth of information that gradually helped everyone understand all aspects of this world.
Currently.
All five of them work at the Suwon City Television Station.
It's the production team of a late-night horror show.
This program mainly uses various terrifying and suspenseful supernatural stories as gimmicks and selling points.
The entire team often goes out to visit so-called haunted houses and crime scenes.
They'll stop at nothing to increase the chances of getting more items collected.
When pushed to the limit, fabricating stories and faking them is a common occurrence.
As the saying goes: If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
This time, the production team ran into a brick wall; they were targeted by something sinister.
It wanted to drown everyone as soon as it arrived; it was indeed very fierce.
The production team consists of five people.
Shiraha is the director, Yukino plays the photographer, and Kasumigaoka Utaha plays the sole narrator.
Eriri was in charge of editing the film.
Mirai Kuriyama was the only makeup artist.
By a series of coincidences, each of the five members' family members either passed away early, went abroad to study, or stayed in their hometowns; in any case, none of them lived in the city.
This should also be a small patch made by the main god.
The player's friends and family members are not allowed to appear in the game.
This allows everyone to focus on the game of death itself.
"I looked up some information online about Shibata Katsu, the folklorist mentioned in the mission briefing."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's laptop kept flashing web pages, which were relatively primitive for the island nation's internet at that time: "This Mr. Shibata Katsu has no family and lives alone in the next city. He is very knowledgeable about the local customs and culture."
"I enjoy studying so-called ghost stories and anecdotes, such as the contemporary ghost story of the Slit-Mouthed Woman from the island nation."
"However, he seems to have some real talent; he has published several books and is also a professor at a university."
"Isn't this just a charlatan?" Mirai Kuriyama in the back seat couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
It's hard to associate a highly learned university professor with a social person obsessed with strange tales and superstitions.
Shi Yu nodded noncommittally, her slender fingers swiping across the screen as she slowly read the text from the webpage.
Three days ago, he left the following text on his personal blog: I have figured out the truth behind Ju-on.
"Then there was no further news... No one replied to the post, so it seems that no valuable clues were left."
"Ju-on... This keyword is worth pondering. The name of this instance is [Ju]. The missing Shibata Masaru is very likely to know the key clues."
Bai Yu, who was driving, chimed in, "Currently, we don't know what tricks the main god is playing... Everyone be careful, this dungeon may very well have evil spirit-type monsters."
Eriri took the phone that Kasumigaoka Utaha handed her.
I'm also carefully reviewing the information.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she showed the news she had found on her phone screen to the others: "Look, I think I found some news about this."
"Two weeks ago, the five members of the Beiyuan family, who lived in the city, suddenly and without warning all hanged themselves in their home."
“A week ago, another murder occurred in the east of the city. A well-known 26-year-old novelist named Koharu Nishikido committed suicide by jumping from the 7th floor after brutally killing his wife and children.”
"These should be considered special news from Suwon City recently, right?"
“Of course it counts.” Yukino frowned slightly and murmured, “Eight people have died in half a month, and they were all related to families… This incident is definitely not simple.”
During the conversation, the vehicle had already entered the city and turned in front of a television station building.
[The first stage of the mission has been completed. Everyone has been rewarded with 300 points. Please go to the 7th floor of the TV station to find the video sent by Shibata Katsu.]
Using the documents in his hand, Bai Yu successfully parked the Chevrolet downstairs, took out the Marauder's Map, and prepared to guard against enemy ambushes.
The five people got out of the car and looked at the TV station in front of them.
The building has seven floors and is shrouded in a gray, gloomy shadow.
Its exterior looks like an old-fashioned building from long ago, exuding a sense of antiquity.
Do not know why.
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone looked up.
On the top floor, a man in a suit suddenly jumped off the building.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound.
The man died on the spot.
White brain matter mixed with blood splattered everywhere, and an eyeball rolled out of its socket.
His cloudy pupils seemed to still hold a lingering fear as he stared intently at the television station's entrance.
It was as if they were staring at something eerie and terrifying.
Dark red blood gushed out.
It gradually spread out in a large area on the ground.
The air froze instantly.
Eriri's face turned pale. She covered her mouth and took a half step back, almost unable to hold back her scream.
Kuriyama Mirai's pupils constricted sharply, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Bai Yu and the other two also looked grim.
Upon arriving here, the evil spirits behind the scenes gave them a rude awakening.
"Quick, someone's jumped off a building!"
"It was Koyama from the late-night horror show crew... He's dead!"
"Fight 110!"
Terrified screams rose and fell, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
Bai Yu and his group of five could only avoid the crowd and quickly head towards the television station.
The person who jumped to his death was actually a colleague, and Bai Yu's mood suddenly sank.
We entered the television station building. The corridors were eerily quiet, with only the sound of a few footsteps echoing in the empty passageway.
The voice-activated light flickered on and off, and during each interval when it went out, I could always hear faint sobbing behind me.
It felt like someone was secretly following behind.
Looking back, all that could be seen was an empty corridor stretching into the darkness of 757.
Upon arriving at the program team's office, Bai Yu successfully found a CD.
At the same time, the voice of the main god also rang in everyone's minds.
[Second-stage task objective: Please use the office projector to watch the DVD sent by Shibata Katsumi within 30 minutes.]
[Punishment for failure in Phase Two: None]
time is limited.
The five of them had no choice but to lock the door, take out the disc, and put it into the projector in the office.
As the disc began to spin, the screen of the vintage Taiwanese television lit up with a stark white light.
After a short delay, the normal image appears.
The man in the picture is a middle-aged man in his thirties.
His face was pale, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and he looked at the screen with a tired expression. It was none other than the folklorist, Shibata Katsumi.
“I am Shibata Katsumi. By the time you see this disc, I may already be dead.”
He sat in a study, and through the open window, he could see the low buildings outside.
"After years of research, I've determined that there are no ghosts or monsters in this world... but there is one thing that truly exists. That is the curse."
"The so-called curse refers to the intense resentment and anger left in the hearts of people who died unjustly, which, under very special circumstances, leave behind a curse meme."
“A curse is not a ghost created after a person dies. It is like a plague that attacks anyone who gets close and spreads continuously from the dead... Many tragedies in history were actually caused by the power of curses.”
“I believe that every curse has a connection point, which can be a house or an item left behind by the deceased... It is through this connection point that it can gain the power of the curse and exist in the real world.”
"And when the connection point is lost, the spell will weaken and eventually dissipate."
"Besides the connection point, a curse has two other elements—the medium and the amplifier. Things that are tainted by the curse, and people killed by the curse, become new mediums."
"As for the amplifier, it is something that can amplify the power of the curse... These people have all come into contact with the curse, either directly or indirectly."
