In comparison, Xiaoju is more like a cat. When she is sad, if you feed her cat strips, she will just stretch out her claws and scratch the back of your hand. You have to leave her alone and let her adjust herself.

The food in front of Ukyo was also pork and beans.

The pork tasted a bit sour and astringent. I don’t know what seasoning the chef used. In short, the pork didn’t taste very good.

........

...

After dinner, it was completely dark.

As usual, Sheriff Carlo reminded everyone to close the doors and windows and not to go out until the sun comes out tomorrow morning.

Ukyo took Arthur in with a soft heart and let him live in his house. Ukyo did not invite Shirley, but this woman came over with a pillow.

"You should have an extra quilt here, right? If not, I can squeeze in with you." Shirley said with a smile. She was still coveting Youjing's body and didn't mind his "little girlfriend". If his little girlfriend was tolerant enough, then Shirley could consider putting aside her pride and being the one at the bottom of the quilt at night.

She was accompanied by Sheriff Carlo, who arrived at the two-story villa at the last minute before dark, carrying two bottles of wine and a hookah, with an expression that said, "I'm going to tell you stories for the rest of the night."

Ukyo didn't know why all these people wanted to come to him.

But he didn't have time to sleep with Shirley tonight, nor could he listen to Sheriff Carlo's stories. He had to teach Yanami how to set a safe word.

 …

...

A few minutes later.

Several people sat together in the living room. The town's electricity had been out for a long time, so they could only light kerosene lamps, and the flames illuminated everyone's face in orange-red.

"A safe word is usually something very important to you, and you want to make sure you can recall it without being conscious."

Ukyo started to speak first, and Yanami listened attentively beside him.

"The more safewords you set, the stronger the resistance to the mental domain. I have five safewords: four common ones and one hidden. If the first four fail to allow me to break through the mental domain blockade, the last one will be forcibly released, causing me to fall into a state of 'loss of sanity' similar to 'fourth degree blood burst', forcing me to break through the mental control at the cost of damaging my own mental domain."

Yanaijian didn't understand what violent bloodshed was, and neither did Arthur and Shirley.

"Safewords require training." Shirley continued, "We have a psychic in the White House who can emit a level one spiritual field. All staff members are trained in safewords through that field."

"But some gifted people can train through their dreams. They try to recall safe words in their dreams, making themselves clearly aware that they are dreaming. These people are usually very talented and have very high mental resistance. Currently, the highest level of mental field recorded by the White House authorities is level five, and the highest level of mental resistance is also level five."

What surprised Ukyo a little was that Shirley was also a White House investigator, and she was an A-level investigator, which was higher than Nick. This made Ukyo even more skeptical about the strength of the White House authorities, because Shirley didn't know how to hide the reflection of the sniper scope... But how to say it, maybe she is not good at using a sniper.

We cannot completely deny the other party's strength just because of a small mistake.

Shirley paused when she said the word "Level 5".

Since Ukyo has five safewords, his mental resistance is obviously at the highest level.

"But the fifth level of spiritual realm is only the highest in theory."

Shirley suddenly said, "There definitely is a sixth-level spiritual realm in the world. The White House hasn't recorded it. Also, I've heard that some people are naturally gifted with exceptional spiritual abilities and can set five or more safewords. These people have never known what 'mind control' is and are naturally legendary investigators."

"Yes." Arthur raised his head very exaggeratedly at this time, folded his hands in front of his nose, imitating Commander Yodo's classic action.

He slowly reached into the inner pocket of his windbreaker, glanced at everyone, and said to them: "I have eight safe words: Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Ilyich Lenin, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Nicolae Ceausescu..."

Everyone was shocked. They stared at the small card in Arthur's hand at the same time. It was his American Red Party membership card. This guy had mentioned this on the Demonic Train. At first, Youjing thought he was just joking, but he didn't expect that this was actually true. His safe words were actually the great proletarian revolutionary martyrs of the world.

"Hail to you, my friend."

Sheriff Carlo raised the liquor in his hand and poured him a glass.

Seeing that Ming Ming felt impressed, Yanai also compensated with a cup.

Seeing that everyone was drinking, Xiaoju pinched her nose to dry it out.

Anyway, I had already drunk it to keep warm in Tibet, so this one cup is not a big deal.

After three rounds of drinking.

Yanami has already thought of her first safe word. She hopes she can dream tonight so that she can try to train her resistance to the spiritual realm.

And Sheriff Carlo finally got down to business.

"Mr. Ukyo, you're an expert on the supernatural. You've been wandering around town all day. Do you have any idea how to get out of here?"

Everyone pricked up their ears at the same time.

Yes, that is what all of them care about most.

Ukyo had no idea how to get out of here, but he did have an idea.

Now it was his turn to perform Commander Yodo's standard moves—

"The first one is the old church on the top of the mountain. Arthur, you came to this town from Kingsport Church, and the book 'Grave Beasts' also mentioned that Kingsport Church might be adjacent to the Temple of Yog-Sothoth, where there's a 'gate' leading to another world. So the key to our return is probably the old church on the top of the mountain."

Shirley's mental resistance was not strong enough, and she had not broken free from the memory constraints in her mind, so she did not understand these terms about Cthulhu. The only person present who could understand the meaning of these words was Arthur. His eight safe words were shocking, and it was very likely that he had not been controlled from beginning to end.

Although they didn't understand, they understood what Ukyo said. Simplified, it was—[First, find a way to break through the dense forest that was like a ghost wall and reach the old church on the top of the mountain.]

Ukyo continued, "The second possibility is the 'Calm Down Room'. Arthur came out from there, so that's probably where the 'door' is. We need to find out what's going on in the Calm Down Room."

At this point, Ukyo said, "It's already night, and we can't go out. Let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll go to the calming room and see. If possible, I'll try to spend the night there."

“No!”*3.

Arthur, Yanami, and Sheriff Carlo all said no almost in unison.

Xiaoju didn't say anything, because she always felt that the boss was invincible and a place like the Calm House couldn't be the place where he would fail.

"Brother, I advise you not to do this." Arthur said: "The Calming House is called the Calming House, but it is actually an altar prepared by the townspeople for the Gods of Death. The things placed inside are sacrifices, used to please the Gods of Death.

In the movie setting, the number of those things is almost endless. Imagine yourself trapped in the dark in a small room less than one and a half meters high. How can you fight against the enemies coming from all sides?"

Sheriff Carlo agreed, "Your friend is right. I can let you inspect the safe house during the day, but you'd better not stay there at night. Even Jesus wouldn't be able to get out of the calm house alive."

"Yeah, Ajing, let's not take the risk." Yana looked worried and grabbed Ukyo's arms with both hands, so hard that Ukyo felt her palms getting a little hot.

"I need to make a correction," Shirley suddenly said. "Infinite is a bit of an exaggeration. In the screenwriter's setting, there are about 500 Grim Reapers and one Superior in the town of Tribit. They are not infinite. Considering the current critical situation, I can reveal a little bit of the movie setting to you in advance...

In the second part, a team of airborne future humans descends upon Tribit Town. They've unlocked their genetic locks, donning power armor that triples their speed and strength. They eliminate all the "Grim Reapers" in the town and take the heroine, me, away with them.

"Damn it!" Arthur began to scratch his head frantically. "I knew The Sunken Place was going to be a bad movie!"

"Tell your paper-man brother not to make a second film. This kind of plot is bound to flop! You'll be savaged by the audience. They've always hated this kind of airborne plot. Besides, isn't your film a horror film? Why are you switching to science fiction?"

"Wrong," Shirley said. "We're clearly making an adventure film, and we advertised it as such, but the audience insists on calling it a horror film. Who can we turn to for justice?"

"It's not important." You Jing rubbed his brows and looked at Shirley. "Since you've already broken the contract with the film company and spoiled the plot for us, why not reveal everything at once and tell us what those so-called Death Gods are? I hope your screenwriter will complete the settings for these monsters in the second part."

Shirley didn't hide it. She was trapped here and her life was about to end. Who would care about the confidentiality agreements signed when filming the movie?

"The superior of the God of Death is some kind of monster from the future. It is called the Mother of Dark Skeletons, the King of Grave Beasts, the Defeated God of Fallen Death, and Similgar Garfield by the people of the future!"

Arthur was shocked.

"I suddenly feel like the second one might not be such a bad movie. Why don't you ask your cousin to try filming it? Maybe it'll be even more popular than the first one?"

Shirley's eyes seemed to roll up to the ceiling.

Ukyo doesn't care about how powerful this monster is or where it came from, he only cares about the monster's weaknesses.

"So, what are their weaknesses? How can humans eliminate them?"

Shirley said, "First, use twice Captain America's strength to hit their skulls, then use twice Captain America's speed to deal with them, and then use the light energy gun powered by the nuclear reactor to shoot through their scaly shells."

well.

well.

Ukyo's brows were furrowed tightly.

He began to dislike science fiction films.

“——Dong~!” Just as everyone was chatting, a noise suddenly came from the study.

Sheriff Carlo stood up vigilantly, "I hope you closed the window."

"It's over!" Xiaoju suddenly realized something: "The window of the owner's study is broken! Yanai was supposed to be responsible for finding wooden boards to nail the window shut, but she was disturbed by the spiritual realm of those girls on the way!"

Shirley loaded the sniper rifle.

Now is not the time to divide the pot.

Judging from the sound, it must be the Grim Reaper who broke into the house.

"I killed one in a movie. I know how to deal with these things. Let me go!"

Arthur also stood up and said, "The Grim Reaper in the movies might seem difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but with all due respect, I'm a veteran paranormal detective who has slain more demons than any man you've ever met. I'm no match for a group of Grim Reapers, but in a one-on-one fight, I'm experienced enough to go with it!"

After saying that, Arthur took out his walking stick, which was actually a metal stick made of a special texture. As long as he pressed the button on the handle, the top of the walking stick would immediately generate 300V high voltage electricity, which could easily knock down an African lion.

Sheriff Carlo didn't quite understand.

Isn't the most sensible thing for them to do now to retreat to the second floor and close the doors and windows?

Why were these people thinking about fighting the god of death? They actually... wanted to kill the god of death?!

"I'll go."

Ukyo's words made both of them quiet down at the same time.

"You can watch me through the window on the second floor. I will lure the Death God outside and try to find the easiest parts of its body to break through. The open space outside is more suitable for me to perform."

"But it's more suitable for the Grim Reaper to perform." Yanaijian said a little worriedly: "It's enough to deal with just one in the house, but outside..."

Volume 108: Chapter 4 How do you expect us to learn this? (5k)

"I'm fine." Ukyo grabbed the back of Yanami's hand and told him that everything was fine.

In the eyes of others, there is nothing wrong with holding the back of the hand; it is just a way to make the other person feel more at ease.

Only Xiaoju knew how shocking this action was when it appeared on Ukyo.

Cats are very independent animals. They don't like to be excessively interfered with by other species, so touching their paws is an intrusion to many cats. Even if you have been with them for a long time, they will show their paws when you try to touch their hands. Xiaoju feels that Ukyo is a very independent cat.

Xiaoju had never seen him actively touch the opposite sex. In her opinion, Youjing's behavior just now was like a ferocious tabby cat that preyed on various small animals in the wild and suddenly acted coquettishly and cutely towards a passing human shit scooper.

of course.

She used metaphors.

In fact, it is not that exaggerated. Xiaoju just wants to emphasize how incredible it is that this behavior happened to Ukyo.

She noticed that Yanami's expression was a little abnormal, but she tried hard to suppress the throbbing in her heart. Obviously, she didn't want Ukyo to see her inner panic. Ever since Tian Aixing's confession failed, she didn't dare to express her feelings to Ukyo anymore.

The only way is to try to break through the thick barrier in his heart by constantly creating various coincidences.

........

.....

"Da da...."

Ukyo's Martin boots touched the floor.

He finally met the fictional creature that existed only on the screen.

A thin bone-like object pierced out from the closed study door. It seemed to be some kind of black bone! Then another one pierced out, and it threw the wooden study door away. This black bone was its palm and also part of its wing!

As the thin bones stretched, the bones that were neatly arranged and beautifully formed like a fan opened up, like a perfectly shaped fan. There were extremely thin membranes between the bones, but at the end of the fan, there were many irregular damages in the membrane, shattering the perfection of this creature!

It didn't look like a Cthulhu creature. In Ukyo's memory, the monsters described in the illustrations of most Cthulhu books he had read often looked chaotic and disordered.

The monster in the movie "Death Note" doesn't look like this either. Its body seems to embody human imagination of bats in the dark night, and its face is like a rotten zombie exposed to sunlight. Its appearance is a fusion of too many things. This is very common after the resurrection of the supernatural. Many monsters do not conform to their original appearance in some "original works".

This monster even has wings! But in the movie, they are clearly land animals that can only crawl close to the ground. Now this "Grim Reaper" reminds Ukyo of the Velociraptor from Monster Hunter, only smaller and with huge wings!

The first thing it did after meeting him was to flap its wings and swoop! Just as Youjing was inexplicably surprised by its appearance, it had already cast a series of black shadows on his retina.

“——Ding~!”

The black claws collided with the scabbard. The corridor was too narrow for his blade to reach. Uncharacteristically, Ukyo rolled forward, slipping into the Death God's belly. He slashed horizontally beneath it, slicing through its unprotected scaly underbelly. He then jumped through the window of the open study door. Guhuo Bird had somehow detached itself from its phone and raised its rapier to pierce its scaly shell.

She was obviously a little skeptical, but after discovering that her rapier could not penetrate its hard shell, the Guhuo Bird flew away at the touch of it and came to the wild with Ukyo.

The eyes of the Grim Reapers are colorless in the darkness of night.

It is not like cats or other nocturnal creatures. You can usually see their heterochromatic eyes through the light cast by moonlight. The Grim Reaper does not rely on its eyes to search for enemies in the dark. In the setting of the movie, they have abilities similar to bats and rely on ultrasound to locate!

At first, Youjing could see that the Grim Reaper that flew out of the villa was shaking the vocal organs under its throat to emit ultrasonic waves that were inaudible to human ears. When these sound waves hit objects, they would reflect back and form echoes. They received these echoes through two slender ears similar to those of bats, and quickly analyzed the frequency, amplitude and other information of the echoes to determine the location of their prey!

But some sudden sound interfered with its judgment.
