All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

However, before Zheng Zha could speak, he suddenly felt a chilling aura creeping over him.

But apart from Zheng Zha and Zhe Xingsun, no one else seemed to sense anything.

Zheng Zha seemed to be oppressed by this powerful and cold aura, almost frozen in place, unable to do anything.

At that moment, the burly man from Northeast China turned around, opened the door, and led the way out. The remaining newlyweds followed him out.

Apart from the three who stayed, the remaining newcomers left quickly, disappearing into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Zhe Xingsun came to Zheng Zha's side and patted him on the shoulder.

Zheng Zha felt a surge of powerful, warm, and clear internal energy instantly dispel the cold, yin aura. He then collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, his face covered in cold sweat.

"Zheng Zha, what's wrong with you just now?" Zhan Lan only then noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Zha and quickly asked.

Zheng Zha said with a wry smile, "Didn't any of you sense it? Of everyone here, apart from me and Monkey King, none of the others have enhanced their energy circulation, so they shouldn't be able to sense that chilling aura. If I'm not mistaken, then it's the Curse of Vengeance. The moment the main god's protective shield disappeared, that chilling aura of the Curse of Vengeance directly invaded us."

"For a moment, how should I put it, it was a bit like the legendary sleep paralysis. I could clearly feel my body, but I couldn't move. Or maybe I was just too scared. Anyway, I felt that we had to leave here first. It's really not safe here."

However, Chu Xuan, who had been silently observing from the window, shook his head and said, "I don't think there's any need to leave. Because if I'm not mistaken, the whole city, or even the whole of Japan, or even the whole world, is actually not much different from this hotel we're in now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha quickly went to the windowsill to observe. Suddenly, he saw a scene outside that... how to describe it? It felt like a scene from aftermath of the apocalypse:

The ground was congested with cars, but there were hardly any people around; the doors of all the shops on the street were open, but hardly anyone was going in or out. It was approaching evening, and the neon lights seemed to be turning on.

The city feels both bustling and spacious.

"This city..." Zheng Zha murmured to himself, looking at everything around him.

Chu Xuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, everyone in this city has been attacked by the Curse of Vengeance. There are hardly any people on the streets, because everyone is either dead or hiding. But I think that even hiding wouldn't make much difference against a supernatural monster like the Curse of Vengeance."

"There are cars stuck in traffic on the street, and judging from their arrangement, they seem to be trying to leave the city. This suggests that the people inside the city knew about the Ju-on beforehand and were planning to leave. But I think they encountered danger before they even had a chance to leave, which is likely due to a large-scale outbreak of the Ju-on. The neon lights are on, and the surrounding electricity seems to still be available, which proves that the time for a large-scale outbreak of the Ju-on is not far off."

Zheng Zha felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

He has already experienced the world of two horror movies: Resident Evil and Alien.

In the worlds of these two horror movies, whether it's the terrifying virus or the powerful alien creature like the Xenomorph, if they were to spread on Earth and cause a large-scale outbreak, humanity could face extinction. However, neither of these monsters gave him the same feeling as Ju-on.

This terrifying thing instilled in him the deepest fear.

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the stairwell.

"Da da da da da..."

Zheng Zha and the others looked in that direction with wary expressions.

The next second, the burly man from Northeast China who had run out earlier hurriedly led everyone back.

As soon as he saw Zheng Zha, he quickly walked over, reached out and shook Zheng Zha's hands, and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I was a little harsh just now, I apologize."
