I looked at them and smiled, saying, "Yes, I'm fine. Are you all alright?" Then I heard Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie's replies.

But something felt off. Just when things should have ended, I suddenly sensed a strange soul fluctuation behind Zheng Zha and the others. Yes, it was a mutated alien. I immediately shouted, "Get out of the way! Aliens... there are more aliens right behind you!"

Zheng Zha and the others reacted immediately upon hearing this, but Zhan Lan did not. The alien was right behind her, and Zhan Lan turned around to face its mouth full of sharp teeth. Her pupils constricted rapidly in fear, and the alien thrust its tongue out at her with the speed of a bullet. A flash of blood appeared. Zheng Zha froze, Zhang Jie froze, and Zhan Lan froze, because the alien's tongue had already pierced my body. But I had already grabbed its tongue with my left hand, and at the same time, the "Blood Rose Spear" in my right hand was pressed against the alien's long head.

Looking at the alien so close to me, I chuckled and said, "You can't escape." With that, I pulled the trigger. As the bullet pierced the alien's head, the voice of the Supreme God rang in my ears: "Kill all aliens. Each member of the team will receive 1000 reward points plus one C-level horror movie side quest."

"Kill the enraged Alien Queen, reward 1500 points, 1 D-rank side quest!"

"Kill a mature mutated alien, reward 5000 points, 1 B-level side quest!"

“异形任务结束,10秒后返回主神空间,10、9、8、7……。”

Hearing this, I immediately took out the bomb I had exchanged in the God Space and threw it. The timing was exactly one second. At that moment, a white light enveloped me, and I immediately felt a dizziness. I was back in the God Space. I vaguely heard Zhan Lan's tearful voice say, "God, heal him quickly. Deduct the reward points from me." At the same time, I heard the God's prompt.

"Destroying the spaceship grants a reward of 3000 points and 1 C-level side quest."

Chapter 23 in preparation

I quickly sat up from the ground and said, "Ah, no need... no need, I just fainted for a moment, it's nothing serious, no need for treatment, look, my injury is already healed." After saying that, I pulled open my clothes and pointed to my completely recovered body.

Zhan Lan immediately started touching my chest repeatedly. Once she was sure I was alright, she threw herself into my arms, sobbing softly as she punched my chest with her weak fists, yelling, "You big idiot... you big idiot, you're such a big idiot! Why did you save me? Why did you stand in front of me? Do you know how worried I was? Do you know...?"

Seeing her like this, I really didn't know what to do. Just then, Zhang Jie, that classically beautiful woman, pulled Zhan Lan away, finally freeing me from my predicament. I immediately stood up and smiled at Zhan Lan, saying, "You don't think I'd die from this kind of injury, do you? Don't forget, this is a magical world with an omnipotent god, where you can exchange reward points for all sorts of items. The reason I risked my life to save you was because I exchanged for an item that would prevent me from dying in that state. So don't worry. Well then, everyone, I'm going back to rest. See you tomorrow." After saying that, I immediately ran back to my room. But after I returned to my room, the smile on my face disappeared. "What a failure! I almost exposed the secret of my body. But luckily, I'm in this space, so even so, it won't be exposed. It seems I shouldn't have sealed my power; it's better to unseal it to prevent something like this from happening again."

The next day, I went out happily because I discovered that my cultivation level had risen to the early stage of the third level of the Earth Realm (equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Body Integration Realm) after breaking the seal, which made me happy for a while. I came to the platform of the main god, and there was no one around, so I asked, "How many reward points did I get this time?"

"Killing a regular mature Xenomorph will earn you 500 points!"

"Kill a mature alien guard, reward 1500 points, 1 D-rank side quest!"

"Kill a mature mutated alien, reward 5000 points, 1 B-level side quest!"

"Kill a mature alien guard, reward 500 points, 1 E-rank side quest!"

"Kill a mature alien guard, reward 500 points, 1 E-rank side quest!"

"Kill all the aliens, and each member of the team will receive 1000 reward points plus one C-level horror movie side quest."

"Kill the enraged Alien Queen, reward 1500 points, 1 D-rank side quest!"

"Kill a mature mutated alien, reward 5000 points, 1 B-level side quest!"

"Destroying the spaceship grants a reward of 3000 points and 1 C-level side quest."

你一共获得18500点奖励和支线剧情2B级、2C级、2D级、2E级,所以你现在一共拥有奖励33501和支线剧情2A级、1B级、2C级、2E级。

Seeing the reward points I had, I smiled and said, "God, please check which professions cause significant damage to the soul."

"Celestial Taoist: Rating: 100. Applicable to almost all horror movies. Can use all advanced Taoist techniques and some immortal techniques. Has powerful and devastating damage against spirits or dark creatures, and possesses terrifying destructive power. Requires 50000 reward points plus one double S-level side quest. Divine Taoist."

"Holy Mage: Rating: 95 points, suitable for most horror movies, uses light magic... extremely powerful against spirits or dark creatures, and possesses immense destructive power, requires..."

"Pope: Rating: 98 points. Applicable to most horror movies. Uses light magic... extremely powerful against spirits or dark creatures, and possesses immense destructive power. Requires..."

"Exorcist: Rating: 85 points, suitable for most horror movies, profession is to eliminate evil spirits and demons..., has very powerful damage to spirits or dark creatures, and possesses great destructive power, requires..."

"Quinness: Rating: 95 points. Applicable to most horror movies. Can use surrounding spiritual particles to create bow-like weapons... Inflicts absolute damage on spirits and possesses immense destructive power. Requires..."

Having read this far, I felt there was no need to continue, because I'd discovered a profession that interested me: the Quincy from the anime Bleach. I immediately exchanged information about Quincy training methods with the main god, spending 500 reward points and an E-rank side quest. After getting the information, I couldn't wait to study it, but I calmed myself down. Then I arrived at Zhan Lan's room and knocked. A moment later, I heard her voice: "Brother Tian, ​​what's up?"

I said, "Um, could you come out for a moment? I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll be right out. Wait a moment, I'll be there shortly."

We had arrived on the platform by then. I looked around; Zheng Zha and the others were still asleep. I looked at Zhan Lan and asked, "How much is your reward?"

Zhan Lan did the math and said, "I got 5000 reward points and 2 C-level side quests. Is there anything I can help you with, Brother Tian?"

When I heard her ask that, I smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how many reward points you have and about your job enhancement."

Zhan Lan chuckled and said, "Oh, I see. But my job upgrade requires 10000 reward points and two B-level side quests, while I only have 5000 reward points and two C-level side quests. It's still not enough. I hope I can get enough reward points and side quests from the next horror movie."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I can transfer it to you. I got a reward of 18500 points this time, plus two B-level side quests, so I have enough reward points and side quests." After saying that, I transferred 8000 reward points and two B-level side quests to her. She didn't refuse or make excuses like last time; she just silently accepted them.

A golden light enveloped Zhan Lan, and she floated in mid-air for a moment before landing. I knew she was now a Taoist immortal.

"Immortal Taoist: Rating: 85 points. Applicable to most horror movies. Can use any Taoist magic below the advanced level and most advanced Taoist magic. Has great damage to spirits or dark creatures, and possesses amazing destructive power. Requires 10000 reward points plus 1 double B-level side quest, Spirit Taoist."

After that, she had 3000 reward points and two C-level side quests left, so I told her to upgrade her skills. First, I told her to upgrade the Intermediate Five Thunder Spell to the Advanced Five Thunder Spell and the Vajra Talisman to the Vajra Protection Talisman.

"Advanced Five Thunder Spell: An advanced application of the Five Thunder Spell, summoning several bolts of lightning imbued with the five elements' spiritual power to strike the opponent. The number summoned is determined by the user's Dao power. It inflicts devastating damage on spirits or dark creatures... Requires 2000 reward points. One C-rank side quest. Intermediate Five Thunder Spell."

"Diamond Body Protection can summon surrounding metal-elemental spiritual energy and the spiritual energy of celestial Vajras, enhancing one's defense and attack power. It can defend against most attacks from spirits or dark creatures, and can cause some damage to spirits or dark creatures... Requires 1000 reward points. 1 C-rank side quest."

Not long after Zhan Lan finished exchanging her items, Chu Xuan, Ling Dian, and Zhang Jie came out one after another. Zheng Zha was the last to come out, almost at midnight. I wonder what he and his little girl were up to. During this time, Chu Xuan, Ling Dian, and Zhang Jie were discussing some issues they had discovered. As for these issues, I can say that I was just a listener.

When Zheng Zha arrived, we all looked at him. Before he could speak, Luo Li blushed and asked Zhang Jie loudly, "Brother Zhang Jie, where's my sister? Is she inside?"

Zhang Jie said with a smile, "Your sister and Zhan Lan are making some kind of cream and fruit platter. Little Li'er, your sister has been talking about you since this morning."

Lori nodded, then secretly pinched Zheng Zha hard before skipping and running towards Zhang Jie's house. A moment later, Zhan Lan came out of the house with a grin.

Seeing that all five had arrived, Chu Xuan said calmly, "I've discovered three problems. First, character creation... According to the conditions provided by the 'God,' it seems that even gods can be created, because there are no restrictions on race, age, gender, or ability. It seems that anything you can imagine can be created. I tried it yesterday, and actually, there are hidden limitations... Arno!"

Chu Xuan shouted, and a dozen seconds later, a huge man, about 2.45 meters tall, walked out of Chu Xuan's house, bending over. He stood quietly in front of Chu Xuan without moving, his expression as cold and indifferent as Chu Xuan himself.

"At first, I chose aliens and reptiles, but the 'God' didn't respond to me. It seems that alien creatures cannot be chosen... So I chose humans, with a height of about 2.45 meters as the limit. I didn't try gender, as it doesn't affect combat power, so I chose male. As for age, I kept it at the peak combat power of 22 years old. My initial idea for ability was an omnipotent god, but the 'God' didn't create any life forms. So I gradually reduced my strength, and even tried the genes and bloodlines that could be exchanged from the 'God'. No, these things cannot be created. So I made an assumption that my abilities can only be based on humans."

"Then I tried to push his abilities to their limits, gradually reducing them from the strongest limit until he had about twice the qualities of an ordinary person. At the same time, I also set his special forces experience and personality. That's basically it. Because he looked so incredibly strong, I named him 'Arno'..."

"That's not the key point!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "He can also be enhanced! I tentatively had the 'God' enhance his intelligence a little, and unexpectedly, the 'God' actually enhanced him. Do you know what this means? It means that the life form you create can definitely enter the horror movie loop! Five hundred reward points can create a special forces soldier twice as strong as an ordinary person, so the reward points for one horror movie can get you two such bodyguards. Your initial ideas were all wrong! The creation quotas given by the 'God' at the beginning were not for you to create women for your debauchery, but to save your lives and give you the opportunity to create bodyguards!"

"Why do so many people die in this horror movie loop, and why are the weaker people more likely to die in the horror movie? I think it's because many people directly used the 1,000 reward points to strengthen themselves from the beginning, and then used this free opportunity to create women. But what exactly can 1,000 points strengthen? Can they double all your stats at once? It's better to create two loyal bodyguards! The 'God' has already given a hint: how to survive when your physical stats are weak? Create bodyguards! This is the wisdom of mortals... the inherent weakness of humanity, it's truly despicable..."

Chapter 24 Preparation and Entry

Zhang Jie seemed disgusted by Chu Xuan's arrogant tone. He coldly said, "So what if we're just mortals with our wisdom? So what if I fucking created women? I'm still alive and well, and I'm only going to live a better life! You fucking..."

Zheng Zha then said, "You can't be that bored, can you? Just to mock us? Maybe you're right, the 'God' gave us that spot to create a strong bodyguard, but that's just your guess. What if the bodyguard can't follow you into the horror movie? Even if he can, can you guarantee he'll be a vital asset for your survival? Besides, when we enter the horror movie, we need to stand in a slanted light circle with a diameter of more than one meter. How many people do you think can stand in that circle?"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Your reasoning ability is getting stronger, and you've clearly reached the same level as Zhan Lan. I don't mean to mock you, but have you thought about why this horror movie only has twenty slots? It's because a team needs different types of talent. If everyone focuses on improving their physical attributes, it can indeed improve their survival ability in a horror movie, but it will also lead to a lack of individual skills. In certain special situations, the whole team might die together!"

Then Chu Xuan told us almost exactly what he had said in the original text. When he then mentioned the option to return to the present world, everyone except me stared at him in a daze, their eyes filled with an indescribable fervor. Yes, anyone who had experienced such a terrifying ordeal, no matter how disappointed they were with the real world, would absolutely yearn to return to it, rather than continue to suffer in this endless terror.

Zheng Zha said with a look of doubt in his eyes, "You have too many schemes in your mind. I really suspect that you have some kind of conspiracy... Tell me, how do we get back to the real world?"

Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "I didn't ask you to do anything. Whether you return to the real world or not is entirely your choice... Zhang Jie, you must not have carefully looked at the details of the life days exchange, right? I checked it carefully yesterday and found that you can not only exchange for life days in the horror movie world you just experienced, but also return to the real world."

Zhang Jie snorted coldly and said, "Do you even need to ask me that? Anyone can go back as long as they have 50,000 reward points. Do you think we have 50,000 reward points? This isn't the kind of nonsense you're spouting."

Chu Xuan glanced at him and said, "Did I say it was a complete return? When I was exchanging for ordinary living days, I discovered a record function. It recorded five horror movies: A Nightmare on Elm Street 1, Scream 2, Final Destination 1, Resident Evil 1, and Alien 1. Besides these five horror worlds, there is another world in this record, and that is the real world!"

Upon hearing these names, Zhang Jie's face turned deathly pale. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, these are all horror movies I've been to! How could there be records of these? What about the records from before?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "There are no previous records. They've probably been deleted by the 'God.' After all, you're the only one among us who survived five horror movies. That record is probably about you. But that's not the key point. The key point is that it can open up the horror movie world and the real world within the record. Once opened, you can freely enter any horror movie world, including the real world. That's the third thing I wanted to talk about!"

"A D-level side quest can unlock a previously recorded horror movie world. However, to exchange for days of life in the unlocked horror movie world, you need to consume five times the reward points, which is a high price of fifty reward points for one day. In other words, to briefly return to the real world, you need to meet two requirements: one is a D-level side quest, and the other is a high amount of reward points. Both are indispensable."

Everyone fell silent. Seeing this, I spoke up, "Don't be discouraged. Let's talk about the enhancement."

After I finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to me. I said, "Chu Xuan and Zero are newcomers, so you should find a suitable direction to strengthen. Zero goes without saying, but as for Chu Xuan, you are someone who understands analysis and battle strategy, so the position of strategist is more suitable for you." I paused, observed everyone's reactions, and continued, "A strategist must understand our strength and the enemy's strategy. Last time I saw a mental scanning skill at the Main God's place that requires a C-level side quest and 4000 reward points. This skill can distinguish and scan everything at a distance. If he strengthens it, his wisdom and command will be of great help to us. So I want you to strengthen this skill. If you don't have enough reward points, I'll transfer them to you." I paused again, glanced at Chu Xuan, and said, "I hope you will preserve your companions' lives with minimal sacrifice. Trust your comrades."

When Chu Xuan heard me say that, he glanced at me, pushed up his glasses, and didn't say anything.

"By the way, what was your reward?" I continued to ask.

Zhang Jie spoke first, saying, "I almost forgot! You guys know what? I got 3500 reward points, a C-level side quest, and a D-level side quest. That's more than I got from the previous three horror movies!"

Zheng Zha glanced at us and said, "I gained 5000 points and two C-level side quests."

Zero coldly said, "I received a reward of 3000 points, a C-level side quest, and an E-level side quest."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "2000 reward points and a C-level side quest."

At this moment, I took out two vials of T-Pain Virus and said, "This was obtained from Biochemical One. After use, with the help of the Main God, it can grant the user the T-virus evolution function. It can enhance intelligence by 20 points, mental strength by 20 points, cell vitality by 50 points, nerve reflex speed by 50 points, muscle strength by 50 points, and immunity by 100 points. However, it requires 500 reward points. This means that Chu Xuan and Zero Point Zhan don't need to spend too many reward points to strengthen their physical attributes. I will transfer 3000 reward points to Chu Xuan so he can learn skills. As for you guys, I don't need to say anything more." After saying that, I stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

"Oh, right, here's a talisman for you, Zheng Zha. It's a defensive talisman, a D-grade magical item from the Main God Space. It can even block close-range shots from armor-piercing bullets. Since you're a melee fighter, it will be a great help to you." I suddenly turned around and handed Zheng Zha a talisman. After saying that, I went back to my room.

Back in my room, instead of practicing my Quincy skills, I traded for a large amount of materials. I needed to forge a Qiankun Ring for my beloved and young lady. Although my crafting skills weren't top-notch, I could still craft a reasonably high-level ring. I also needed to enhance my Blood Rose Spear. In "Alien," I discovered that while it was a double A-grade weapon, even after being sealed, it remained a B-grade weapon. This was all thanks to the magic array on the spear. Perhaps forging it into a sword would have been better. While the Blood Rose Spear could kill souls or high-level life forms, its penetrating power was incredibly strong. With enough true energy… wait, even if the opponent was piloting a mecha like a Gundam, it could penetrate the cockpit and kill the pilot if hit. However, its attack range was limited, so I needed to increase it. Oh, and I also needed to refine pills for my Sakura to improve her cultivation. With that in mind, I spent 2500 reward points and 1C and 2E side quests to exchange for materials and went to work in the Time Chamber.

Time flew by. Zheng Zha returned to the real world, still covered in wounds, and clashed with Chu Xuan, who questioned why I trusted this scheming fellow. I managed to resolve everything. I also refined a pill to enhance water-attribute techniques, called the "Jade Dew Spirit Pill" (just a random name), for Ying Kong to use while cultivating the "Water Spirit Immortal Technique." My "Blood Rose Spear" was also strengthened. I added the "Heavenly Thunder Array" and the "Thunder Gathering Array." Although it can only fire bullets with the same power without energy propulsion, propelled by Dao power, internal force, true essence, immortal spiritual power, divine contract power, etc., once the bullet hits its target, it transforms into a two-meter-diameter thunderball—a powerful thunderball imbued with the five elements' spiritual energy.

Everything was ready, and everyone gathered on the platform. Twenty beams of light rained down from the sky. "Enter the beams within thirty seconds, target locked, Ju-on initiating teleportation..."

The six of them, along with Arno who was next to Chu Xuan, stood together in the halo cast by the "God".

Chapter 25: The Curse Begins

Once again, we were in that half-asleep, half-awake state, and time passed without us realizing how much. When we came to our senses, we were already standing in a very ordinary room. The floor was covered with tatami mats, and the rooms were separated by paper doors. Judging from the decorations, this should be a Japanese-style house.

I looked at the newcomers. I counted, and there were fourteen newcomers. That meant one newcomer was eliminated. I wondered who it was, but I hoped it wasn't my Sakura Sora. I thought to myself.

I looked back at everyone and saw Zhang Jie sitting on the ground, muttering, "Ju-on, it's Ju-on, and it's the Ju-on with a 20-person difficulty level... We're in real trouble now..."

Zhan Lan was looking out from the second floor of the house when she smiled and said, "It seems there's no mistake, this house is exactly the same as the haunted house in Ju-on." Then she turned to Chu Xuan and said, "I guess you're the least knowledgeable about these kinds of supernatural horror movies, right? How about I analyze it this time?"

Chu Xuan nodded silently.

At this moment, some new people had already gotten up from the ground. Zhan Lan didn't pay special attention to them, but instead focused on explaining the concept of Ju-on to Zheng Zha and the others.

"The so-called Ju-on is when a person dies full of resentment, and that resentment becomes a curse. This curse usually remains in the environment where the person lived before death. Once someone enters that environment, that person will be killed by the curse. In this horror movie... the location of the curse is this house!"

She glanced at me and continued, "In the horror movie Ju-on, anyone who gets afflicted by a curse is doomed to die. It might be a few days later, or a few weeks later; in any case, the ghost will kill them at any time!"

Zheng Zha sighed and said, "You mean we're actually cursed now? We could be killed by ghosts at any moment once the horror movie starts?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said, "Yes... this is the kind of supernatural horror movie that can't be explained by science. We can't analyze how ghosts kill people, and we also don't know how to avoid them..." She paused here, then continued, "However, because of my profession, this time it wasn't as dangerous for us as we imagined."

Upon hearing Zhan Lan's words, Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha quickly asked, "Why is it that because of your profession, it's not as dangerous as we imagined?"

Zhan Lan glanced at me and said with a smile, "Because my profession is a Taoist priest, I play a very important role in horror movies about ghosts and monsters."

"What? You're a Taoist priest? Why didn't we know that before? I thought you were just a healer and support." Zhang Jie said in surprise.

Zhan Lan chuckled and said, "So now you know, right? Okay, you guys should take a look at what our mission in the horror movie is!"

The group simultaneously glanced at their watches, which displayed the Ju-on mission: survive for seven days. There was also another option: kill the Ju-on's main body, Kagaya, once to obtain a B-grade horror movie side quest and a reward of... 5,000 points!

"B-rank side quest? Reward points... five, five thousand?"
