In the pitch-black bedroom, only the LCD screen of the TV is shining brightly.
The screen is in black and white, flickering at a frequency like the blink of an eye. Fragmentary shots are intermittent, sometimes it is a woman with long hair combing in the mirror, sometimes it is a volcano erupting, and the scene immediately changes to a few people climbing up.
Originally, they were not sure about the contents of this tape, but now that Lin You had read it, she knew that "Midnight Ring" really played an important role in this copy.
Kayako plus Sadako's video tape, it is double the happiness.
The strange image of the cursed video tape was playing on the TV, and there was the sound of "clucking" bubbles in my ears. Although Sadako probably wouldn't come out directly, she also dragged Kayako into the water. If the opponent still wants to attack, Lin You doesn't mind making the picture more exciting.
The card was already between her fingers.
In the darkness, Kayako twisted the nearly broken bones all over his body, his complexion was more grayish blue than pale.
She stared at Lin You, muttered "giggle", and took another step forward crookedly—
In the next second, the large handful of duck down hanging from Jia's coconut head fluttered down.
The fluff whirled in the air and fell, and Lin You saw that it was still stained with blood. It's just that Kayako, who was soaked in blood, disappeared again.
… gone
The female ghost who marked others with a curse was marked by another female ghost's curse—I'm afraid Kayako wanted to kill her even more now, but because the video tape was here, he didn't do it because he had to avoid the edge.
Lin You regained her composure, and the video happened to be over, so she picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
To say she is really big hearted.
He only turned on the chandelier to brighten the room, and after standing there for two minutes to confirm that nothing would happen again, Lin You waved his hand and took the card away.
There is still no movement outside the door. It seems that she is the only one who has been "awakened", and everyone else is in a state of sleep.
Lin You patted the quilt, and lay back down again - she had to skip tonight's time, and make plans tomorrow morning.
A night without dreams.
Early the next morning, Jian Mingjia, who was awakened by the system, held a feather duster in his hand, swept the cobwebs along the way, and knocked on her door.
"Youyou," she called, "Lin You, are you up?"
"get up."
Lin You was standing in front of the TV, looking at the video tape that had just been taken out of the TV.
Her actions were caught by Jian Mingjia who pushed the door in.
"You don't really read it alone, do you?" the other party asked vigilantly.
"Where is it?"
Lin You categorically denied it, "I told you I wouldn't watch it alone."
Just as Jian Mingjia was about to let out a long breath, she heard another sentence.
"—I watched it with Kayako."
With a "click", the feather duster fell to the ground.
The other three slept downstairs and gathered early in the restaurant closer to them. Players eat in the dungeon just like in real life to replenish their physical strength, but it is also easy to maintain a full stomach, a few slices of bread are enough.
There were bags of dry cakes in the refrigerator, and they had just been taken out to melt the ice when they heard footsteps approaching in the corridor.
"Big news—"
Jian Mingjia clapped her hands, and after attracting their attention, she turned to look at the person involved.
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Gu Heng secretly thought something was wrong.
"Ah, that's how it is." Lin You said briefly, "I watched Sadako's video with Kayako in the middle of the night."
Geng Qinghe: "Poof—"
He was standing by the refrigerator holding a glass of milk that had just been filled, and now he was choking to death, bending over and coughing desperately.
What kind of friendliness? What kind of observation?
Everyone present knew in their hearts how much water these two words had.
Lu Zhenjie was completely stunned.
"Isn't it completely messed up now?" He originally thought that he, who was due to die today, would no longer see a worse ending, "Wouldn't it be us who were affected by the fight between the two of them?!"
"uncertain."
The instigator spit out these three words leisurely.
Lu Zhenjie thought to himself that there was nothing uncertain about it.
"Yesterday, Jiaye came to me in the middle of the night," Lin You said, "I wanted to use the video tape to divert the hatred... To some extent, it would be effective. Now both Jiaye and I have a seven-day curse on our bodies, but we are still There is a premise."
She looked at Lu Zhenjie.
"We're watching the original video, not the copy. So your deadline for tonight should still be valid, just take this opportunity to 'convince' Sadako to deal with Kayako instead—"
Lu Zhenjie: "... persuasion?"
Jian Mingjia: "..."
She knows her too well, and the "persuasion" in her mouth probably includes more than talking with her mouth.
"Persuasion is the same thing." Gu Heng interjected, "Don't forget that yesterday we agreed to investigate the origin of this video tape, which involves one of the origins of this copy."
This is true.
Lin You thought to herself.
She never gave up the idea of collecting cards, and whether it is to pass the level with a high evaluation or to really conquer Sadako, doing so is indispensable.
The video store is open from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon.
Following the route marked on the mobile phone navigation, they found a shop a few streets away in a short time.
However, what greeted everyone was the tightly closed and locked glass door.
"Could it be possible?" It was almost eleven o'clock when they arrived, and Lu Zhenjie was the first to have an unspeakable thought, "This boss has already..."
He gestured on his neck.
"... Shouldn't it be?"
Geng Qinghe stared at the mobile phone in his hand, "I checked the reviews of this store, and it said that the door is often not opened on time, and the boss is also drunk, probably because he was so drunk that he forgot the time."
Lu Zhenjie: "..."
He felt that his feelings were deeply wasted.
They lingered in front of the store for almost twenty minutes, and finally saw a middle-aged man with shaky steps across the street preparing to cross the road.
If he drank like this in broad daylight, it's 100% a drunkard who didn't run away.
"Do you think it could be him?" Jian Mingjia whispered, seeing him walking in this direction, the thoughts in his heart became more and more certain.
... it should be.
As they approached, the other party also saw them.
"Hey, what are you doing standing there?" Instead of yelling at them, it was better to say at Lu Zhenjie, "Didn't you say that I don't know what's going on with that video tape? I never sold yours!"
It seems that the original "Lu Zhenjie" came here to question after watching the video and finding something wrong.
"Are you sure you haven't seen it?"
Lu Zhenjie himself has a good temper, and wanted to pass the video tape over, "The package on the express box is your package. I read the express slip, and it said that I bought it together with others."
The owner of the video store looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't say anything because of the tone.
He seemed to be a little sober, and took the video tape from Lu Zhenjie's hand.
Looking at it, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassing.
Everyone knows there is a drama at a glance.
"I... it looks familiar," the boss muttered, "I think I've seen it before, but I really don't know what you want to say about 'you will die if you don't send it out within seven days'."
"Not many people listen to videotapes these days."
He scratched his head, "I only have two or three regular customers here, and you count as one, and there are not many sources. I only bought a batch from a few places last week, and I will pick what you want and send it to you. This may be because I have been fooled." It was mixed in from another box."
"..."
Lu Zhenjie thought in his heart that he was really unlucky.
"You said it looks familiar, do you remember where you got it?"
"... Hakone," the boss hesitated to say a name of the place, "I remember someone sold it at a low price there."
Lin You: "Who is it?"
"I can't tell you that, I heard at the time that relatives died to deal with the relics—"
Speaking of this, the boss was shocked suddenly, and the wine was completely sober.
"It's dead," he looked at the tape, "it's not because of some curse—"
Lin You thought to herself that this was a bit too much, but they couldn't admit it. However, without them asking, the boss has already convinced himself of the connection between the two.
"It has nothing to do with me!" He took two steps back and hastily denied, "Don't look for me!"
He didn't want the store anymore, so he wanted to leave in a hurry, trotting all the way as he walked, for fear that they would arrest him.
Everyone: "..."
Jian Mingjia: "It seems... Is it necessary to go to Hakone?"
"It takes two hours by car from here to Hakone." Lin You flipped through her phone, "I'm not familiar with the place there, so it's hard to find someone for a while—let's book a ticket for tomorrow."
"Stay here tonight and make some preparations."
She said: "After all, there is a small problem that needs to be solved first."
morning.
The minute hand wobbled to almost twelve o'clock, and Lu Zhenjie was horrified to find that he was the only one in the living room who was fully awake.
"Hey, hey," he gritted his teeth, "wake up, Sadako is coming soon!"
"Sadako?!"
Geng Qinghe, who was drowsy, jumped up from the sofa, "Where? Where?!"
His yelling brought the others back to their senses, and Jian Mingjia yawned.
"It's not here yet," she said "ah", "no, it's coming soon."
They plan to go to Hakone tomorrow, where they can probably find clues to Sadako's body. But due to Lu Zhenjie's curse entanglement, it is necessary to resolve the resentment of the avatar marked on the video tape first.
The second hand coincides with the other two hands—twelve o'clock in the morning.
On the seventh day, nothing happened.
The hands of the clock continued to move, and before Jian Mingjia could speak again, the chandelier suddenly went out.
After a long while, the attached light bulbs slowly turned on again, but this time the lights were dim, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
The living room fell into silence.
The VCR that was moved to the living room did not respond, and no one touched the remote control, but the TV turned on by itself.
In the middle of the screen, a dry well located in the middle of the grass appeared.
The female ghost in white climbed out of the well little by little, and she gradually approached the screen.
The first thing to come out is the head.
Her long black hair covered her face, and her fingers with rotting nails stretched out and fell on the floor. Sadako stuck out half of her shoulders and began to crawl out twisting and twisting.
"—Smash!" Lin You shouted.
As soon as she gave an order, Geng Qinghe didn't hesitate, grasped the hammer prepared in advance, and swung it towards the TV.
"??!!!"
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Sadako raised her head abruptly.
But it happened at this moment that I was afraid that things might turn around. Geng Qinghe swallowed, and hit another hard hammer.
He smashed it twice in a row, and a big hole was sunk in the TV body.
The TV was severely deformed by him, and only the sound of "cracking" electricity was heard, and the screen burst into cracks like spider webs, flashing on and off twice, and the scene of the dry well disappeared. It was replaced by a few strands of white smoke from the fuselage.
The TV with Sadako's half body still stuck—
It was scrapped directly.
