All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

"Enter the pillar of light within 30 seconds. Target locked. 'Ju-on' begins teleportation..."

Ten people stood together under the pillar of light of the main god. Besides Chu Xuan's creation man Arno, there was another person wrapped in a cloak and wearing a mask, looking timid and hesitant. That was Li Shuaixi.

During these ten days, Li Shuaixi had no contact with Zheng Zha and the others, and no one knew what he had been doing during those ten days.

But when Zheng Zha saw Li Shuaixi, he suddenly had a feeling: the person in front of him seemed to have become somewhat dangerous, at least to him.

Zheng Zha frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, he fell into a half-asleep state.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing in a seemingly ordinary room, though the layout suggested it was a hotel double suite. With so many people crammed into the suite, it felt rather crowded.

Zheng Zha immediately began counting the number of people on the ground, but when he finished counting, he was terrified.

Zheng Zha said, "A horror movie with a difficulty level of 20! We've never experienced anything like this before. Zhang Jie, what do you say?"

Zhang Jie couldn't help but exclaim, "This time there are actually 12 newcomers! And it's the highest difficulty level of 'Ju-on,' a horror movie with no solution! We're really in trouble... hahaha! Did you think I was going to say we're doomed? But this time we have Monkey King with us, and it's completely different from any horror movie we've ever experienced! That Japanese ghost Kayako, are you ready to tremble under Monkey King's iron rod?"

Zhan Lan's face was already a little pale, but after hearing Zhang Jie's words, she immediately showed a look of exasperation and laughter. She said, "Do you still have to say such things at a time like this? You've completely ruined the atmosphere we were building up."

At this point, Zhan Lan turned to Chu Xuan and asked, "Chu Xuan, do you want to analyze the current situation?"

Chu Xuan nodded: "Before analyzing the situation, let's take a look at the mission issued by the Main God."

He raised his wrist and looked at the God Watch, and everyone else looked over as well.

The task displayed on the watch was: Ju-on World, Task: Survive for seven days;

Meanwhile, another option shows: Killing Kayako once will grant you a B-level horror movie side quest and a reward of 5000 points.

In fact, when he saw the reward news, even Zhang Jie, who had seemed the most excited just moments before, immediately calmed down.

He said, "5000 reward points and one B-level side quest? When did the God become so generous?"

Chu Xuan said, "The more generous the God is, the higher the difficulty of our mission. Let's be prepared. I think the God's evaluation of us this time also included Wukong. But even so, it still gave us such a high-difficulty reward, which means the God believes that even with Sun Wukong in our team, this mission is still a near-death experience for us."

Chu Xuan paused here and began to open his backpack and take things out.

Zhan Lan asked, "Aren't you going to analyze our current situation again?"

Chu Xuan said, "There's no need. If it were just the difficulty level of Kayako in the original story, it wouldn't be much for us and Goku. The fact that the main god is giving us a reward of this level means that it must have drastically changed the original plot. In other words, the original plot is no longer of any reference value to us."

"Of course, I can also tell you some information, which is based on the abilities that Kayako exhibited in the original work. First of all, Kayako is what is known as Ju-on. Ju-on is something that happens when a person dies full of resentment, and that resentment forms a curse. This curse usually remains in the environment where the person lived in life, and once someone invades that environment, that person will be killed by the curse."

"In this horror movie, the place where the curse is located should be a typical detached house in Japan, not the hotel we are in now."

Zero, who had been mostly silent, finally spoke up and asked, "You mean we're not in the room where Kayako was cursed? So, we're not cursed?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. The Supreme God wouldn't give us such convenience, but the fact that it directly threw us into a hotel like this must mean one thing—the Supreme God believes that no matter where we are, we will definitely be tainted by Kayako's curse."

"So the answer is actually quite clear: the current Kayako is most likely no longer like in the original story, only cursing those who enter the room where she lived, but cursing everyone indiscriminately. Just wait and see, after the light of the main god disappears, we will know what has happened."

As everyone was talking, the newlyweds on the ground suddenly got up one after another.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, a burly man from Northeast China, his face flushed red, jumped to his feet and roared, "Damn it! I was just doing business online, and I randomly clicked on a pop-up ad. How did I end up in a hotel? Don't try to fool me with some excuse about being drunk! Someone must have drugged me from behind with a tranquilizer dart and then moved me to this hotel to extort and intimidate me! Don't think this is some kind of creative idea; countless others have already tried this!"

With this burly man from Northeast China leading the way, the previously quiet newcomers started chattering amongst themselves.

Zheng Zha glanced at all the newcomers around him. They all seemed quite ordinary, except for one boy who was unusually calm and was always reading a book. Zheng Zha couldn't see anything special about the rest of them.

Even so, Zheng Zha explained their current situation to everyone, concluding, "In short, although we are currently in the incredibly dangerous world of the 'Ju-on' horror movie, you don't need to worry too much. As official members of the Central Continent Team, we will do our best to provide you with the necessary protection."

"As for Kayako, don't be afraid. As long as Monkey King is here, any female ghost can be smashed to death with one blow. Now, listen to me and start reporting your own situation, such as your name and special skills, so that I can make records and classifications."

However, after Zheng Zha finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent, and no one spoke first.

Zheng Zha realized that the people did not fully trust them yet, but in this situation, someone needed to step forward and take the lead. He looked at the boy he had been somewhat concerned about, and the boy gave him a strange feeling, so he prepared to start asking him questions.
