Soon after, Sakura and I returned to our room. Because of the earlier fight, Sakura was covered in sweat, so she insisted I take a shower. I had no choice but to go. To be honest, the level of our fight wasn't high enough to make me sweat. I finished quickly, and after I came out, Sakura went in to shower. She came out soon after, wearing only a yukata. Whether it was because we were in Japan or intentionally, her yukata was transparent, and she wasn't wearing a bra. Her fair skin, her devilish figure, and her breasts, even fuller than Zhan Lan's, were faintly visible under the transparent yukata. Seeing her like this, even as a perpetual virgin, I almost couldn't resist pushing her down. But I wouldn't do that, because I didn't want to have our first time so casually.

At that moment, Sakura, blushing, came to my side. She looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but I didn't let her speak. I immediately pulled her into my arms. The instant I held her, I could feel her trembling body. I held her as we lay down on the bed, and I whispered in her ear, "Let's sleep like this, we're both tired." After saying that, I pulled the blanket over her.

Before going to sleep, I glanced at my watch on my left wrist and thought to myself, "This is only the first night."

Chapter 28 Yasukuni Shrine

I need very little sleep, so I woke up just as dawn was breaking. But the scene before me left me feeling helpless! Sakura, wearing a transparent yukata, was still asleep, which was bad enough, but she was also holding me tightly. With such a beauty embracing you, any man with strong blood would surely react, right? I am a man, so I had a normal reaction. Perhaps sensing my reaction, Sakura woke up. What's worse, after waking up, she sat on my stomach and stretched out an alluring little yawn. This action intensified my reaction. Sensing my strong reaction, Sakura's face turned red, and she whispered to me, "Brother Tian, ​​you're so naughty!"

I laughed and said, "Isn't that because my wife Sakura is too tempting?"

Sakura looked at me and said with a smile, "Brother Tian, ​​how come I never realized you were such a bad guy before?"

I laughed and said, "What's wrong, my Sakura wife? Are you having second thoughts? That won't do." Then I kissed her on the lips.

Time flew by, and around noon, everyone except Lingdian, Yingkong MM, and I gathered in Zheng Zha's suite, still half asleep.

"Good, it seems we're all alright. Today is the second day already. As long as we hold on until the seventh day, we'll all be able to return to the Main God Space alive." Zheng Zha rubbed his swollen dark circles under his eyes as he drank a can of iced coffee.

"Nothing's wrong? Maybe not." Sakura MM said, "This morning I hacked into the city's police network, and there were two murder cases. Around midnight this morning, the police found two bodies in a park not far from us. One body's internal organs were all missing, and the face was extremely distorted. The other body had been impaled through the middle of a utility pole, but strangely, all the wires on the pole were intact. The town police have been fully mobilized, but they found that these two people had no identification files. It is said that some nearby residents claimed to have seen seven other people with them before. After hearing this, aren't you surprised?"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and several people even began to tremble violently. Death itself is not scary; what is truly terrifying is the unknown way of dying that is about to happen.

At this moment, Zheng Zha asked Zero, "Did you get the pistol?"

Zero silently took out six pistols from the briefcase behind him, while Zheng Zha took out six hundred spirit bullets from his storage ring. He said seriously, "Don't hurt people indiscriminately. I don't want to be chasing ordinary people while hiding from ghosts. Although killing a team member will deduct a thousand reward points... I don't mind tying you up and hanging you upside down in the dark. I think ghosts might like people who don't resist at all."

I laughed and said, "Zheng Zha, don't be like that, they'll be scared if you do. But..." I turned around and said to the male newcomers in an extremely cold voice, "If you really do something to anger me, I will kill you immediately."

The three college students who had been excited at the sight of the pistol were immediately stunned. They sat there restlessly with the pistol in their hands, while Qi Teng took the spirit bullet and examined it carefully. After a long while, he suddenly said, "These are ordinary silver bullets, right? But the runes on them look like a combination of oracle bone script and cuneiform script. Uh... maybe so. They look very similar. Oh, right, I remember seeing similar runes on coffins in some tombs."

Zhan Lan said, "If I'm not mistaken, these runes are for warding off evil spirits and preventing the owner's corpse from turning into a zombie. I also have some such talismans for warding off evil spirits in my professional skills, but they are not useful to me, so I didn't learn them. If it's just for warding off evil spirits, I think my 'Diamond Body Protection Talisman' would be very useful."

At this moment, Zheng Zha took out a stack of talisman papers and said, "I almost forgot about this. Here, one for each of you. This kind of talisman will automatically burn when ghosts or monsters approach. During the burning process, ghosts and monsters cannot attack you. This time is enough for you to escape or call for help. Here, one for each of you."

Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan exchanged a glance, then took out several talisman papers from their respective military backpacks. Zhan Lan said, "Although I am a Taoist priest, I don't know when ghosts will come. These kinds of protective talismans that can provide early warning are most useful in situations where we don't know when ghosts will attack. So when it burns, I will immediately bless it with Taoist magic."

At this moment, the newcomer Xiao Bingyi asked, "Why don't you keep casting spells on us?"

After he finished speaking, I immediately interjected, "Because using Taoist magic requires magical power, if she keeps enhancing your magic, will she still be able to use offensive magic when the curse attacks you? I'm afraid you'll just have to wait for your magic to wear off and then be killed!" I paused slightly and said in a cold tone, "Besides... do you think we would waste our fighting power on someone who is completely useless?"

Hearing what I was saying, Xiao Bingyi had no choice but to shut up, but I could sense the resentment in his eyes.

At this moment, Zheng Zha spoke up, "Alright, that's enough. This afternoon we'll go find some temples... and find more ways to defeat Ju-on!"

After lunch, everyone began discussing their next move. Besides searching the temple for a way to destroy the curse, continuing to monitor the police network was also crucial. Zero suggested finding a sniper position nearby. Ming Yanwei wanted to go shopping in the afternoon, and the male newcomer wanted to protect her. I arranged for Zhan Lan and Ying Kong to go with her, saying, "I have other things to do, and I'm a little worried about Ming being with those male newcomers (by the way, on the way to the hotel with the three ladies, she confirmed I was the one who saved her, so the girls are now good friends). So I'm arranging for the three of you girls to stay together. Also, keep an eye on those three male newcomers; if I'm not mistaken, they'll be attacked by the curse today, so Ming, Zhan Lan, and Ying Kong, be careful."

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you doing? Why aren't you coming with us?" Yingkong asked.

"Yeah, Brother Tian, ​​what are you doing? Why aren't you with us?" Zhan Lan asked.

"Yes, Brother Dong, why?" This time it was Ming MM's turn.

"It's nothing, just some things I've wanted to do for a long time. It's no big deal. By the way, you guys can stay together tonight, because I'll be back very late."

………………………………………Time Divider……………………………

I have arrived in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Looking at the seemingly solemn Yasukuni Shrine and feeling the unsettling atmosphere, I couldn't help but think about the information about Yasukuni Shrine.

Yasukuni Shrine, located in Kudan-kita, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, was originally named "Tokyo Shokonsha" (Tokyo Shrine for Summoning Souls). Its initial purpose was to "summon the souls" of the more than 3,000 soldiers who died in the Meiji Restoration civil war (Boshin War) while assisting the Emperor. It was established by the Meiji government in June 1869 and officially renamed "Yasukuni Shrine" in June 1879. "Yasukuni" means "protector of the nation." Therefore, Yasukuni Shrine differs from ordinary shrines; it is a shrine specifically dedicated to soldiers who died on the battlefield, holding a unique position among the more than 80,000 shrines of all sizes in Japan.

靖国神社总面积10万余平方米,正门前是高25米、长34米的大牌坊(日本人称“鸟居”)。大门外两侧是建于1935年的两座10余米高的石灯笼状纪念塔,碑文上写道“追慕景仰为皇运的扩展而献身的尽忠靖国之士和遗烈”。塔身底座嵌有16块浮雕,描绘了甲午战争等历次战争的画面,并都配有文字说明。其中有明治27年(1894年)9月17日海战,“联合舰队击破清国北洋水师”;明治33年(1900年)7月14日“我军占领天津城”;昭和7年(1932年)2月22日上海附近空战,“我军击落敌机”等。”

Thinking this, I laughed to myself, "Everything here will disappear tonight."

The scene shifts again, and Ming Yanwei, Zhan Lan, and Ying Kong have already destroyed the main body of the Coconut Tree that appeared in the mall. As for the newcomer who was attacked, he turned into a sausage, just like in the original story. Thanks to the 'Blood Rose Spear,' they won very easily. Only at the last moment, when the main body of the Coconut Tree appeared, did Zhan Lan recklessly use the 'Advanced Five Thunder Spell,' which destroyed most of the surrounding buildings. Now, they have returned to the hotel with the remaining two newcomers. Meanwhile, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and Qi Tengyi have obtained the handwritten Buddhist scriptures from the Tang Dynasty monk and are heading to the hotel.

Chapter 29 The Destruction of Yasukuni Shrine

As night falls, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is even more crowded at night than during the day. Every shop is brightly lit, and the streets are full of pedestrians, mostly teenagers to middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. Interspersed among the pedestrians are female students dressed in school uniforms and wearing bright makeup. They have charming smiles on their faces and stand in twos and threes chatting. Without exception, they are all located very close to hotels or inns.

Just as I was leaning against a marble pillar outside a shop, resting with my eyes closed,

A young woman dressed in a school uniform walked up to me and struck up a conversation, saying, "Sir, would you like to chat with someone?"

I looked up and saw a woman with heavy makeup standing in front of me. Perhaps the makeup was too heavy, so I couldn't see her real age, but I guessed she was no more than 20 years old because I discovered that she was a virgin. Looking at the smiling lady, I asked, "Miss, what's your name?"

“Ise…Yami!” the woman said in confusion upon hearing my words.

“Miss Ise, you’re very lucky! You’ll witness… that moment! The password is 123456!” With that, he stuffed a card into her hand and walked past her, leaving the woman standing there dumbfounded.

After I left, Ise Yoshimi ran to the nearest ATM with the card in her hand, inserted it, and entered the PIN I had given her. The balance was immediately displayed: a 4 followed by eight zeros. This stunned Ise Yoshimi, who was facing financial difficulties. After she recovered, she hurriedly took the card out and ran in the direction I had disappeared.

While Ise Yoshimi was desperately searching for me, I was standing approximately 10,000 meters above the Yasukuni Shrine. Obscured by heavy clouds, I was using incantations from the *Fire Spirit Immortal Technique* to gather fire-attribute spiritual energy from the sky, condensing it around my body until it quickly formed a fireball about 20 meters in diameter, centered on me. When I felt the compressed fire-attribute spiritual energy reach its limit, I smiled slightly and suddenly plunged downwards, making those who saw me think I was a meteorite.

The distance of ten thousand meters disappeared in just a few seconds as I descended rapidly. Just as I landed above the shrine, a white light suddenly blocked my way, but it was immediately shattered by my overwhelming power and then slammed into the shrine's buildings. The fireball exploded instantly, and the buildings, with a diameter of over 500 meters centered on me, were instantly reduced to ashes by flames with a power level comparable to heavenly fire. When I emerged from the circular crater, which was surrounded by flames and was over ten meters deep, the original shrine was gone.

Just then, many wisps of black gas formed from vengeful spirits rose from the surrounding ground. When the black gas touched the flames, it was immediately burned away. Then, the black gas slowly began to gather into a huge black sphere. At this moment, I heard the voice of the Supreme God:

"Destroying Japan's 'Yasukuni Shrine' completes the A-level horror side quest, rewarding 10000 points!"

"Eliminate all the vengeful spirits released due to the destruction of the shrine. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a reward of 20000 points and one S-rank horror side quest!"

"Failure to complete the mission will result in the deduction of 30000 reward points and one S-rank horror side quest!"

Looking at the black sphere in front of me, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "Destroy all the wronged souls, which means I have to destroy this huge entity made up of all the wronged souls here. The main god really knows how to make trouble for people!"

At this moment, all the wronged souls had completely merged together. Then the black sphere began to shrink smaller and smaller. After a sudden burst of eerie black light, a man dressed in black Japanese Sengoku period armor and wielding a Japanese samurai sword appeared before me.

He spoke in a chilling voice, "Hahahaha... So you're the one who resurrected me? Then let me reward you properly!" He paused slightly, looked at me, and continued, "Let me kill you, and merge your soul with mine, ahahahaha...!"

After he finished speaking, I immediately transformed the energy within my body into Quincy spiritual power and conjured a bow and arrow in my hands. Looking at him, I slowly said, "Hmph... I can't accept such a reward!"

Seeing my actions, he laughed, raised the knife in his hand, and slung it over his shoulder, saying, "There's really nothing I can do. How dare an ant try to defy me? Why doesn't it just obediently kill me?"

"What can I do? I'm not an idiot. Would you stick your head out and let someone chop it off just because of a couple of words from an arrogant fool?" I said helplessly.

Upon hearing what I said, he immediately turned ferocious and said, "In that case, you should die, die..."

————————————————————————This is the dividing line of battle———————————————————————

Standing nearly naked amidst the ruins, I sheathed the Blood Rose Spear while recalling the battle that had just taken place. I hadn't expected that the fusion of vengeful spirits would possess the cultivation of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and even be at the mid-stage. Given time, I suspected he might transcend to become a Ghost Immortal. This left me, at only the Great Perfection of the Fusion stage, with little ability to retaliate. Fortunately, he didn't seem to know how to utilize his internal power, so he didn't gain much advantage against my Spirit Arrows, which are highly lethal to souls.

However, my battle with him attracted some Onmyoji and Spirit Masters. Although they weren't particularly strong, the Three Sacred Treasures they wielded were incredibly effective against ghosts, and their so-called Shikigami also provided some restraint. Finally, I broke the seal on the Blood Rose Spear, and after recklessly channeling my true energy, I managed to severely wound that guy with a single thrust. In an attempt to escape, he split himself into three, but before he could flee, the Onmyoji sealed him within a spatial area using one of the Three Sacred Treasures, the Yata no Mirror.

Seeing them trapped, I immediately transformed the energy within me into Buddhist power to attack them with Buddhist teachings. However, I didn't expect that I would actually send one of my three clones to heaven, while the remaining two were refined by my Buddhist power into two spiritual crystals, 'relics'. At the very moment the battle ended, I also heard the voice of the main god:

"Eliminate all the wronged souls and receive a reward of 20000 points and one S-rank horror side quest!"

"Kill one Heavenly Demon, receive a reward of 20000 points and one S-rank horror side quest!"

After putting away the Blood Rose Spear, I glanced at the few remaining Onmyoji and flew away without saying a word. Although I hate the Japanese, I wouldn't turn around and kill them after they helped me.

I quickly found Zheng Zha and the others. It was already late at night, and they weren't at the hotel, but in a park. When I found them, I immediately saw Lu Renjia covered in blood and Zheng Zha with a complicated expression on his face. I then asked Zhan Lan what had happened, and she recounted the plot to me, which was similar to the original story. The events were roughly the same as in the novel, except that Ying Kong was injured and Ming died, and Zheng Zha killed a newcomer in a fit of rage.

After listening to her, I took out the 'Blood Rose Spear' and came to Lu Renjia with a smile, saying to him, "I think I told you before that if you do anything to anger me, I will kill you!" After saying that, I grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up.

He grabbed my hand, struggling and shouting, "No, no... You can't kill me, or you'll get points deducted...!"

I looked at him and smiled, saying, "Deducting points? Is that a threat? But I'm not afraid of deducting points the least..." As I spoke, I forcefully threw him into the air. In an instant, he was thrown nearly ten meters high. Before he even landed, I raised my 'Blood Rose Spear' and fired a shot. Because of the energy I had channeled into him, he was shattered by the lightning ball.

At that moment, Zheng Zha's communicator vibrated...

"Midnight? What happened?"

"it's me……"

At the top of a tall building not far from the Sunshine Hotel, Chu Xuan sat on the edge, silently gazing at the sky, and said softly, "Nothing is truly right, and nothing is truly wrong. You're overthinking it... Companions are important, but as a leader, you can't place yourself on an equal footing with them. With greater ability comes greater responsibility. You'll be responsible for the safety of all your team members. What to abandon, what to uphold—perhaps you're still lacking in this aspect..."

"The only mistake you made was treating everyone the same... This horror movie cycle requires choices. Whether it's the path we choose, the newcomers the 'God' selects who might evolve, or the survival-of-the-fittest choice in the horror movie, you must see clearly who can become your partner. It's not those who are completely unsuitable for this horror movie cycle. If you choose them, then when they are eliminated by this world, they will drag you down with them..."

"A person grows up gradually throughout their life, and I envy you all..."

—— ...

Chu Xuan kept raising his gun and firing at the pale women in front of him who were making gurgling sounds. His dual pistols were extremely powerful. Each shot blasted off a piece the size of a bowl from the pale woman's body. About ten shots were enough to shatter a pale woman. However, there were at least twenty pale women crawling towards him in front of him. No matter what he did, his two pistols could not kill them all.

Chu Xuan's hands trembled, and as the pistol magazine fell to the ground, the other two magazines were already reloaded. He suddenly rushed towards the wall beside him. When the pale women were still several meters away from him, he suddenly stepped towards the wall, then pushed off with his feet, leaping over the pale women in mid-air before they could touch him. He then fired a series of shots with his two pistols, blasting all the pale women below him into pieces!

"The fourth wave... is over!"

"The fifth wave... is over!"

"I really want to live with them a little longer, Dong Tian! I really want to know what kind of person you are, but I'm so tired. Let me have some peace and quiet..." Chu Xuan thought to himself.

But suddenly a hand grabbed his body as he was about to fall, and at the same time he heard someone say, "Hey, Colonel Chu Xuan, are you going to give up?" At the same time, he felt a flash of white light, and his discomfort completely disappeared. Then he felt someone put a pistol into his hand, and he heard someone's voice say, "This gun is a hundred times better than the weapon you have. You'd better hold on tight, or it will be hard to get another one if you lose it!"

Chapter 30: The Curse Ends

After I healed Chu Xuan's injuries with magic, I immediately placed the 'Blood Rose Spear' into his hand and said, "This spear is a hundred times stronger than the weapon you have. You'd better hold on tight, because if you lose it, it will be very difficult to get another one!"

Chu Xuan opened his closed eyes and looked at me with a puzzled expression, asking, "Dong Tian, ​​it's you? Why...?"

I interrupted him directly, saying, "Let's leave these questions for later. Right now... let's deal with the immediate problem first." After saying that, I summoned the Spirit Bow.

Chu Xuan seemed to see the bow and arrow in my hand. He paused for a moment, then raised his hand to push up his glasses and said, "I really don't understand what kind of person you are. From the moment we met, you seem to know me very well..." As he spoke, he also raised the gun in his hand.

"boom…"

Hearing the notification in my ear, "Kill the main body of the Ju-on, Kasaya, once, reward 1500 points and one C-level side quest!" I smiled and said, "1500 points and one C-level side quest? Looks like the God is quite fair!"

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "Well, you could say that. I got 4000 reward points and a B-level side quest, which is 1000 points less than what the watch showed, probably because you joined the battle later."

I said with a smile, "So, Colonel Chu Xuan, how does it feel to survive?"

"Well, it's so-so."

Not long after I rescued Chu Xuan, I returned to where Zheng Zha and the others were. As soon as I appeared before Zheng Zha, he immediately ran over and asked me how Chu Xuan was. I didn't answer, but just shook my head at him. Then, after a moment of silence, he announced his decision to return to the hotel.

After we returned to the hotel, a exhausted Zheng Zha went to his room to rest, while Ying Kong, Zhan Lan, and Ming pulled me into their room and asked me where I had been these past two days.

I had no choice but to tell them, "I've gone to Tokyo..."

After I recounted everything that had happened in the past two days to them, it was already around 2 a.m., meaning this was the fourth day. After listening to my story, the three girls stretched and went to sleep in another room, leaving me alone. I looked out the window, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt afraid. For some reason, after I used Buddhist power to deliver the combined entity of that vengeful spirit, my cultivation level instantly rose to the mid-stage of the Earth Realm (mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm). This should have been a cause for celebration, but I had a bad feeling about it.

As the sun slowly rose above the horizon and the night receded, Zheng Zha and the others got up and had breakfast together. Suddenly, Zheng Zha said to Zhan Lan, "Zhan Lan, you have the strongest reasoning ability besides Chu Xuan. I want to ask you, what do you think the 'God' is trying to achieve by throwing us into all sorts of horror movies?"

Zhan Lan thought for a moment and said, "Is it to let us experience terror? Or to let us face death? No... If we add Chu Xuan's previous reasoning, I think the 'God' wants us to evolve, to break through our own limits on the edge of life and death, to evolve and unlock our genetic locks. If Chu Xuan's reasoning is correct, this is the only answer I can think of."

Zheng Zha nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too. The 'God' wouldn't throw us into horror movies just to kill us. Every horror movie has a solution or an enemy to defeat. In other words, the 'God' wouldn't put us in such a desperate situation. (Actually, Zheng Zha still doesn't know that I and the three girls together have already killed the main body of Ju-on, Kagaya, twice.)"

Zhang Jie, standing nearby, suddenly realized and said, "You mean, obtaining the Buddhist scriptures was the clue left to us by the 'main god'? Damn it, those two bastards have already taken the scriptures..."
