All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

Zheng Zha directly said to Chu Xuan, "This won't work, Chu Xuan. You can't be a thief for a thousand days and guard against thieves for a thousand days. Besides, we still need to find a way to complete the side quest to investigate the eternal world. We can't just keep wasting time here with Kayako. Is there any way to find Kayako and kill her directly?"

Previously, when they entered the real world, the newcomers in the real world were ambushed by Kayako. Zheng Zha did not rest at night and remained highly vigilant. However, Kayako did not appear at all, and there was not even the slightest movement.

This made Zheng Zha Bai wait all night. In addition, he hadn't rested much during the day, and after entering the world of Ju-on, he had very little rest time. Even after such enhancement, he was still a little exhausted. With dark circles under his eyes, he said to Chu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan stated bluntly, "If we want to lure Kayako out, the simplest way is to find two newcomers and get them out of our protection zone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Zha had already guessed what Chu Xuan wanted to say. He said directly, "Alright, forget about the bait plan you're going to bring up again. There's really no other way in this horror movie world. Now that Monkey King has grown up, what's the point of using a bait plan? Wouldn't Monkey King have come all this way for nothing?"

"Besides, Chu Xuan, don't you think you're not like a soldier at all? I don't know about soldiers in other countries, but in our country, soldiers don't use ordinary people as bait to carry out any kind of plan. If I didn't know the reality, I would have thought you gave yourself your rank."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan seemed to think of something and fell silent for a moment. After a while, he said, "After entering this horror movie world, there's no longer any distinction between ordinary people and soldiers. I treat everyone equally. But since you're so vehemently opposed, then forget it. If you still want to know what other solutions there are, there is one more: just blow up Kayako's old house."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's eyes widened: "Blow up Kayako's old house? What kind of logic is that?"

Chu Xuan said, "This was also discovered from the information Wukong found. According to the mystical mentions in those materials, a curse like Kayako can also be considered a kind of earthbound spirit, but it is a more vicious one among earthbound spirits. It can spread its power through curses and even become stronger. But no matter how it changes, it is still a kind of earthbound spirit. Therefore, destroying her old house will also have a significant impact on her power."

Zheng Zha stood up abruptly, then touched the storage ring on his hand, and in a moment, several bombs appeared on the ground.

Zheng Zha picked up the bombs and said, "Alright, I'll go blow up Kayako's old house right now! By the way, Chu Xuan, how do I get to Kayako's old house?"

Chu Xuan took out a map, marked it, and handed it to Zheng Zha. He said, "You'd better go with Wukong. Also, I suggest you don't actually blow up Kayako's old house. Just force Kayako out and destroy her main body so you can leave. That way, we can use this method to force Kayako out on the third, fourth, and even the following days. As for Kayako's old house, we can actually blow it up on the seventh day. I think that should also get us some side quests."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's eyes lit up, and he then called Zhe Xingsun to set off together.

Zhe Xingsun didn't object. After all, killing Kayako's true form would also grant him side quests and reward points. Although these things were only useful to him in the world of Infinite Terror, Zhe Xingsun felt that if he could raise his cultivation to a certain level in the world of Infinite Terror, he might be able to transform some of what he had cultivated into his own supernatural powers.

After much thought, he concluded that the reason why the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art he exchanged with the Main God was not converted into a divine power, and was not even displayed in the Divine Shadow Diagram, was not because these things could only be used in the Infinite Terror World, but because his power and rank were not high enough to be converted into a divine power.

Next, Zhe Xingsun and Zheng Zha set off together, and with their combined speed, they arrived at the detached house where Kayako had lived in just over ten minutes.

Upon arriving here, Zheng Zha felt goosebumps all over his body, while Zhe Xingsun also sensed a tremendous chill emanating from the house.

Zhe Xingsun said, "That monster's lair must be here."

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "Brother Monkey, let's plant the bomb together."

Together with Zhe Xingsun, he placed bombs in various corners of the house. They didn't need any professional explosives knowledge; these bombs were high-powered bombs obtained from the real world. One of them could blow the entire house to pieces, let alone so many placed together.

Sure enough, not long after he placed it, he suddenly heard a roar from not far away, followed by a sweeping blow with a stick.

He turned around and saw a kayako burst like a bubble, smashed by Zhe Xingsun's stick.

Zheng Zha said, "Brother Monkey, Kayako is here again. Let's go to a more open area to deal with her."

Before he could finish speaking, a stick suddenly stabbed at him. The stick magnified in front of him, and before he could react, it pierced his side. With a pop, he heard something burst like a bubble next to him. When he turned around, he saw Kayako exploding. It turned out that he had also been ambushed by Kayako earlier.

Zhe Xingsun grabbed Zheng Zha by the collar, jumped up suddenly, and smashed open the door of Kayako's house with a bang, landing on the street outside.

Zhe Xingsun said, "That monster is coming!"

Zheng Zha turned his head and saw countless kayaks emerging from all directions, far exceeding his expectations.

Zheng Zha quickly took out a light machine gun from his storage ring and said, "Brother Monkey, I'm here to support you!"

Before he finished speaking, a wave of heat surged from Zhe Xingsun's body, and the kayaks exploded as soon as they touched them.

Zheng Zha's mouth dropped open. Although he had seen Zhe Xingsun wipe out many Kayakos with a single blow before, this time, Zhe Xingsun didn't even use his staff. He just stood there and melted Kayako with his breath. This reminded Zheng Zha of some novels he had read in the real world.

He used to read novels that described how top masters could suppress lower-level martial artists with just their aura, rendering them unable to move. At the time, he thought it was nonsense, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to make some sense.

Next, Zheng Zha helped Zhe Xingsun deal with the remaining waves of Kayako's attacks. The two did not detonate the bombs directly, but returned to the hotel. He could rest well during the day.

Chu Xuan knew the result but didn't say anything, because it was within his expectations. He was still holding those documents, seemingly examining something.

However, Zhan Lan asked Zheng Zha and learned that she had obtained a C-level side quest in this mission, which made her a little envious.

This C-level side quest was because Zheng Zha dealt with the fifth wave of Kayako's attack alone. However, after thinking about it, Zhan Lan didn't mention going with her to deal with Kayako next time. After all, completing this side quest was already enough for her. Sometimes one shouldn't be too greedy.

Meanwhile, Zhe Xingsun sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, circulating his qi throughout his body, but his attention was focused on the Divine Image Diagram.

Previously, when he was at Kayako's residence, he originally intended to simply destroy Kayako. However, he did not expect that in Kayako's lair, due to its strong cold aura, he accidentally unlocked his genetic lock.

He originally intended to wait until a safe place to try unlocking the gene lock and see how it would work, but this time it was an instinctive reaction that he couldn't control in time.

The good news is that after unlocking his genetic lock, he didn't have to face the troublesome backlash of those genetic locks. Perhaps it's because the genetic lock he obtained wasn't the original genetic lock from the Infinite Terror Universe, but rather a genetic lock ability he created using his supernatural power of turning the fake into the real.

After unlocking his genetic lock, it did indeed greatly enhance his strength, or rather, his control over his internal energy.

If his control over his inner energy was one before unlocking his genetic lock, then after unlocking it, his control over his inner energy increased to at least ten, or even twenty. With such a small amount of energy, he could unleash ten times the power. This is why, when facing so many Kayakos before, he didn't even need to move his hands; he could eliminate all of them with just his energy.

However, he also sensed that the power of his gene lock ability only increased with his own strength.

If his original combat power is 10 points, then he can convert 10 points into 100 points of combat power through the gene lock; if his original combat power is 100 points, he can convert 100 points of combat power into thousands of points through the gene lock. In other words, this gene lock is actually activated in the later stages. No wonder this gene lock can be transformed into a supernatural power and inscribed on the Divine Shadow Diagram.

In essence, the gene lock is indeed far superior to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

Moreover, he had only unlocked the first stage of the gene lock previously, but he could sense that if he wanted, he could directly unlock the second and third stages of the gene lock, but the fourth stage could not be unlocked for the time being.

He guessed that perhaps Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan didn't understand the gene lock enough, and he might have to find a way to guide them.

Time flew by, and it soon became evening. Zhe Xingsun immediately set off.

This time, he didn't need anyone's help. He entered the mortal world by himself in the hotel, and with ease, he took Zheng Zha's storage ring and visited all the temples and churches in the mortal world.

Sure enough, he found a Buddha statue in the temple and more information in the church. He put all these things away, then left the mortal world and returned to the present world.

Chu Xuan seized the opportunity and worked with Saito to translate the documents.

Saito Hajime had dark circles under his eyes. He had barely slept these past few days, or rather, he had slept very little. However, he did not complain. After receiving the materials, he quickly threw himself into the translation work, which can be considered as demonstrating the spirit of hard work.

Meanwhile, Zhe Xingsun led the group to Kayako's detached house. After some intimidation, Kayako, who had not fully recovered, could only barely show herself and was then killed with a stick. Thus, another day of peace was restored.

Time flew by, and it was noon on the fifth day. Chu Xuan and Saito Hajime finally found more information about Tokoyo from the documents.

Chu Xuan said, "We've basically figured it out. The anomalies that occurred in the mortal world may not have originated from the mortal world itself, but rather from a more dangerous world within the mortal world, which could perhaps be called the inner world. The source of all the anomalies lies in that world."
