Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 677: The Taishan Prefecture Lord Ceremony Completed! The story jumps back and forth across the timeline!
After leaving the world inside the bottle, Luo Fu accidentally stumbled into the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era of this world.

However, he did not live in this world in a conventional way. After several decades, he finally found Su Yue and Zhou Jie again.

Instead, it directly travels through the Divine Might Space, spanning several decades, arriving at the present time directly from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China.

Now this door is like... a passage specifically designed to distort time, having the same effect as Luo Fu's previous use of the Divine Might Space to traverse time.

Pushing open this door now might reveal a normal mansion scene, but the moment you step inside, you'll be transported from your current point in time to some unknown point in time.

Although Luofu's divine space can also achieve the effect of traversing time.

But Luo Fu didn't want to be thrown into some random point in time.

To be conservative, this haunted house, under the influence of the Ju-on mechanic, must be able to mix and match time points over a period of several decades.

However, if we consider that the true origin of the Ju-on mechanic is the Gohime and Tsuchimikado family, then the timeline connected to this haunted house door will instantly stretch to several hundred years.

After all, Princess Go was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted daughter. This means that if the Ju-on mechanism is not just about the timeline of the people killed in this house, then its influence will extend from the Sengoku period of Japan to the present and into the distant future.

Even with the ability to anchor to a fixed point in time using the Kamui dimension, Luo Fu didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Ju-on in a chaotic timeline.

"Master?" Seeing that Luo Fu didn't make any further moves after grasping the doorknob, Xiao Qian became wary. She carefully looked around and looked at Luo Fu with a puzzled expression.

As for Su Yue, Zhou Jie, and the female ghost Qingqing, they were even more cautious.

Since the Ju-on mechanism can use the method of throwing Luo Fu and others to another point in time as a means of countering Luo Fu and others, it means that this ability to distort time does not involve the core of the Ju-on mechanism.

Its core layer may very well contain even more incredible effects.

Perhaps the Curse mechanism can't harm Luo Fu, but it still poses a considerable threat to Zhou Jie, Su Yue, and others. More importantly, Luo Fu dislikes this kind of roundabout approach.

He was more enthusiastic about using straightforward methods to crush the Ju-on mechanism and wipe out all the vengeful spirits who died because of the Ju-on, including Kayako and Saeki Toshio.

Only in this way can we have a significant impact on Hao Ji to some extent.

Of course, Luo Fu and Hao Ji are actually on the same side to some extent.

Princess Gohime wanted to revive Toyotomi Hideyoshi and complete the Taisan Fukun Festival.

The Heavenly Realm of Kunlun and the Underworld would certainly not agree to this, which meant that Hao Ji was destined to stand on the opposite side of the Heavenly Realm of Kunlun and the Underworld.

By a twist of fate, Luo Fu gained the power of Chi You through shared abilities, but Xia Dongqing also had a remnant of Chi You's soul within him.

This also made him a thorn in the side of both the underworld and the celestial realm.

The Heavenly Realm and Kunlun will directly target Luofu, hoping to eliminate him as soon as possible. The Underworld will be more willing to restrict Luofu and will never sit idly by while Luofu obtains the power of Chiyou, threatening the remnant soul of Chiyou within Xia Dongqing's body.

In Hades Acha's eyes, only the remnant soul of Chi You within Xia Dongqing's body is her brother, the former leader of the Primal People.

Luo Fu was at best a thief, a petty thief.

But in the eyes of others, Luo Fu is the second human demon, a threat that absolutely cannot be allowed to exist.

From this perspective, Luo Fu and Hao Ji are truly natural allies.

At least at this stage, before Luo Fu has the strength of the table, he and Hao Ji are not enemies, but are more likely to be friends.

Of course, this is the thinking of a normal person. But Luo Fu, the ability he shared is constantly being localized. Its growth efficiency and upper limit are simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in this world.

There is absolutely no need to cooperate with Hao Ji.

Looking back at Zhou Jie, Su Yue, Xiao Qian and the others beside him, Luo Fu shook his head and said, "It seems that the Ju-on mechanism is much more complicated than we estimated. Under the influence of the Ju-on power, this house can connect different points in time. Although it is no match for us, when it comes to playing hide-and-seek, we cannot keep jumping on the timeline."

The horror of Ju-on, and the different eras depicted through the windows and doors, were already anticipated by everyone.

But Luo Fu's words still surprised them quite a bit.

"What do we do now?" Xiaoqian frowned. "We can't just let them get away with this, can we?"

"Of course not." Luo Fu shook his head and said, "Xiao Qian, go and check if there are any other four female high school students who have entered the mansion besides the one we just met, Ikuno Yui. If so, invite them all over and completely seal off this haunted house. At the very least, no one else is allowed to enter the mansion until those five people are dead."

Having grasped some of the mechanisms of the curse, Luo Fu naturally chose the method most advantageous to himself.

If you gather the four high school girls who should have died under the Ju-on mechanism and the female teacher Yui Ikuno, and then prevent others from entering the haunted house, then the operating rules of the Ju-on mechanism will inevitably deal with these five people who have already been marked first.

At that time, Luo Fu will only need to wait in comfort and counter each move to truly seize the initiative and delve into the core of the Ju-on.

It's much easier than going through all that trouble now, confronting Ju-on head-on, and playing a game of hide-and-seek across timelines.

As for how Xiaoqian managed to bring these five people marked by the curse over, Luofu didn't care. He believed that Xiaoqian, this demon, wouldn't let him down.

However, it's easy to guess that sending Xiaoqian to invite those five high school girls and teacher Ikuno Yui would definitely not be a friendly process.

With Luo Fu making new arrangements, after they left the haunted house, the surging resentment within the house subsided once again.

Xiaoqian certainly did not disappoint Luofu.

After returning to the manor located in Ashikaga Ward.

In just one day, or even less than twenty-four hours, Xiaoqian managed to bring Ikuno Mai, who was destined to die under the curse mechanism, and four high school girls to the manor.

It was obvious that both the four high school girls and Yui Ikuno were quite frightened by Xiaoqian's methods.

Even inside the manor, after seeing Luo Fu and the others, he still looked shaken.

Yui Ikuno was still able to put on a brave face, but the four high school girls were completely terrified.

"It's you, sir." Upon seeing Luo Fu, Yui Ikuno quickly recalled Luo Fu's identity.

But it was precisely because she remembered Luo Fu's identity that Ikuno Yui felt some doubts.

Her encounter with Luo Fu was merely a brief one-time meeting.

This was because she was terrified by Kayako at the time, and after leaving the haunted house, she was eager to find other people to feel safe.

No matter how you look at it, it seems there's no hatred between me and Luo Fu.

So why would Luo Fu force her to come here in this way? Yui Ikuno considers herself just an ordinary elementary school teacher from a modest family with no money. Her sister is just a hotel waitress, and her boyfriend is not wealthy either.

Based on the methods Xiaoqian had shown, Ikuno Yui, though she knew she was pretty, didn't think she was worth being targeted by a conglomerate like Luofu.

Compared to Yui Ikuno, the four high school girls were completely terrified.

The island nation is a rather unique country. Although it possesses various extraordinary powers, it also underwent the Meiji Restoration and seemingly embarked on a path of civilization and enlightenment, but it still retains extremely serious feudal remnants within its borders.

Many of these financial magnates are actually descendants of the feudal lords from the previous shogunate era.

It can be said to have been passed down through generations in the true sense.

So-called justice and civilization are just empty slogans.

Even the most naive high school girls knew that they were now at the mercy of others.

They were all so trembling that they couldn't even speak.

Yui Ikuno took a deep breath, bowed to Luo Fu, and said, "Sir, whatever you want to do, I will cooperate. Please let us go."

The four high school girls nodded hurriedly, afraid that if they were too slow to react, Luo Fu would make an example of them.

Luo Fu's lips twitched as he looked at Xiao Qian beside him.

He now strongly suspects that Xiaoqian must have used some tricks to gather these five people who had directly entered the Cursed Ghost House together in such a short time.

But Xiaoqian must have said something during the process, otherwise Yui Ikuno wouldn't have said such a thing.

After giving Xiaoqian a disdainful look, Luo Fu didn't punish her. After all, Xiaoqian was now completely loyal to Luo Fu. She had been thoroughly tamed by him in the bottle world. In fact, if Luo Fu hadn't realized that Xiaoqian was helping him localize his power, Xiaoqian's personality would probably have been completely destroyed.

Even so, Xiaoqian can no longer be considered to have a complete sense of self.

Almost everything revolves around Luofu.

There are some things that Luo Fu can only turn a blind eye to, otherwise, Xiao Qian's self-awareness would probably be completely mechanized and she wouldn't even be able to maintain her current state of a fragmented personality.

Luo Fu glanced at the several trembling women and said, "You've all been inside that mansion before, haven't you?"

The girls were stunned. They never dreamed that the culprit behind their current misfortune was the same person who had entered the haunted house before.

After only a moment's hesitation, the girls nodded hastily, admitting that they had entered the haunted house of the Cursed One.

"Do you know how terrifying that house is?" Luo Fu asked again.

Yui Ikuno seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Of the four high school girls, only the one with the strongest inspiration, named Nanami, changed her expression upon hearing this.

"Sir...sir," Nanami said, mustering her courage, "Is there...something wrong with that house?"

"Xiaoqian, didn't you explain this to them?" Luo Fu asked Xiaoqian, who was standing beside him.

Xiaoqian blinked; in her heart, Luofu's orders were paramount.

As for the few high school girls, in her eyes they were nothing more than tools that Luo Fu used to target the Ju-on system. It didn't matter if they died. At most, it was just that Yui Ikuno who could earn Xiaoqian's slight respect.

Shaking her head, Xiaoqian said, "Master, because of the urgency, I could only bring them here while they were still alive, so there was no time to explain to them on the way."

The group was utterly terrified.

Although Luo Fu uses Chinese, theoretically, these islanders shouldn't be able to understand it.

But don't forget that Luo Fu in the Godslayer world has already completed the ritual of killing a god. In the Godslayer world, there is an ability that is extremely easy to overlook.

A thousand languages.

Whether it is a disobedient god who descends or a god-slayer who has completed the ritual, they will all passively acquire this ability instantly.

This ability, unlike powerful powers, doesn't subjectively distinguish a god-slayer. It's easily overlooked.

But this is a rather magical ability.

Just like now, Luo Fu is speaking Chinese without a doubt, but Ikino Mai and the four girls can all understand his meaning without any problems.

As for Xiaoqian, she did it on purpose.

We need these girls to act as tools, at least to make them understand their current situation.

But it was precisely because they understood that they were terrified.

After all, what does it mean to say that they need to be brought here while they are still alive?
Does that mean that once they are brought into this mansion, their lives are no longer a concern?

Luo Fu had no choice but to accept Xiao Qian's explanation.

He looked at Yui Ikuno and the other girls and said, "I need to tell you that there is a terrifying power called Ju-on in that mansion. Anyone who enters it will be cursed by Ju-on, and there has never been a case of anyone surviving."

The girls were stunned.

Indeed, Luo Fu's explanation was quite unexpected.

They had previously thought they were being targeted by an evil conglomerate, so why are they now... inexplicably being asked about curses and vengeance?
This world is, on the surface, an era of scientific advancement. Even though there are many unspeakable horrors lurking in the shadows, in the minds of most ordinary people in modern society, demons and monsters are nothing more than urban legends.

Would someone as ethereal and otherworldly as Luofu really use urban legends for romantic purposes?
Luo Fu could tell at a glance that the high school students didn't believe him at all.

The four of them truly exemplify the saying "never give up until the goal is achieved."

Perhaps only when one truly witnesses the power of Ju-on will one understand what terror is.

Ignoring the high school students, Luo Fu turned to Yui Ikuno and said, "You met the mistress named Kayako at the mansion these past few days, didn't you?"

Yui Ikuno subconsciously recalled Kayako, who had caused her deep psychological trauma. She nodded frantically and said, "Y-yes!"

"What if I told you that the woman named Kayako died many years ago?"
