"Why did you enter The Ring? Are you going to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sadako?" Jie Juan said jokingly, but Mu Fei'er said in horror: "The Ring, is that the movie where a female ghost crawls out of the TV and kills people?"
Meng Xiang nodded: "That's right, but Sadako won't crawl out again because we killed her in that horror movie."
"But... but, that's too dangerous, you..." Mu Fei'er blushed, lowered her head, and spoke intermittently, but after talking for a long time, she didn't say what she wanted to express.
Jie Juan looked at Mu Fei'er's expression, smiled slightly, and then said to Meng Xiang: "I also want to see a horror movie about gods and ghosts. Or let me go with you, at least I'll have a companion. If you are chased by a fierce ghost, my archangel bloodline may help you escape."
Han Fan echoed Jie Juan's words, but Meng Xiang shook his head and cast a grateful look at Mu Fei'er's concern, making Mu Fei'er's pretty face even redder.
"If we can get through the next horror movie, maybe we can enter the plot world to relax. But I'm not going there for fun this time. The last time I entered The Ring, I got a message in a small mountain village. There is a mountain called Ikoma nearby. It is said to be the place where the great bodhisattva practiced hard."
Zhou Lina was immediately interested when she heard this and quickly asked, "Yi Xiaojiao? I've heard that several comics are based on him. It is said that he is the most powerful psychic in Japanese history. Big brother, are you planning to take Yi Xiaojiao as your teacher and learn the skills of exorcism?"
Hearing Zhou Lina's innocent words, Meng Xiang couldn't help but stroke her little head again. This time Zhou Lina didn't let him touch her and turned her head away with an angry look on her face.
Meng Xiang said: "Yakushi has been dead for thousands of years, and I am not interested in the art of exorcism. The thing is, we stayed near Ikoma Mountain for a few days last time, and the old lady there said that the golden body of Yakushi after his ascension to heaven is buried on Ikoma Mountain. I think there should be a side storyline of "Midnight Ring" there, so I want to go and take a look."
At that time, it was the horror movie "Midnight Ring". Meng Xiang and others were staying in a small mountain village. Because a young man went up the mountain to steal the tomb of a small character, he was cursed and died after coming down the mountain with festering all over his body. However, Ding Jie was afraid of triggering a side plot and did not let them continue to ask questions.
Han Fan was a little worried. He was now the captain of the Nameless Team. He had this responsibility and was more proactive in speaking. He said, "It's too dangerous to trigger the side story. In the last horror movie, even Ding Jie had to cheat to escape. Meng Xiang, you have to think about it seriously and don't act rashly."
Meng Xiang smiled faintly and praised Han Fan, "You seem to have some qualities of a captain, which is very good. However, I have considered it carefully. The next horror movie is a punishment plot. No one is sure whether it is life or death. Now my strength has been greatly improved. If I don't try to trigger the legendary branch plot before I die, I will not be willing to die. In fact, I entered the reincarnation world half with fear and half with excitement. Confronting the strong, struggling between life and death, traveling, practicing, and enjoying the life of the rich without worries in the plot world, this kind of adventurous life in comics, we can never get it in the real world. So, I must enter "Midnight Ring", even if I die, I am willing."
Meng Xiang was speaking from his heart. What he longed for was not to complete the tasks of a horror film safely and in accordance with the rules like Ding Jie, but to challenge the strong and take on difficult side plots like Zhang Jin while possessing strong strength.
Mu Fei'er looked a little panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "But... but if you die, what shall we do?"
Meng Xiang said softly, "This is one of the reasons why I don't want to be the captain. If I die, you can still survive under Han Fan's leadership, right, Han Fan?" He laughed at Han Fan. Jie Juan scolded him, "So you thought of this a long time ago. No wonder you gave up the right to be the captain. But I understand your idea. I'll let you go alone this time."
Mu Fei'er and Zhou Lina still didn't quite understand Meng Xiang's idea, especially Mu Fei'er, who moved her lips slightly but hesitated to speak.
Han Fan sighed deeply and said sincerely, "I understand. Perhaps your awareness is different. You are no longer on the same level as us. However, the Nameless Team still needs you. I hope you can come back alive."
"Of course, having said that, I never thought of dying like this. There is no reward for the next horror movie, so my points cannot be wasted. This time I plan to go to the plot world for 10 days. This..." Meng Xiang took out most of the auxiliary items as well as the Gauss sniper rifle, Gauss pistol and other general firearms from the ring and handed them all to Han Fan: "Please keep these for me first. It is enough for me to only bring the HK-MP5 submachine gun."
"Aren't you going to exchange for holy water, talismans or other ghost-exorcising items?" Jie Juan asked.
"No need to bring it. Aura has the ability to exorcise evil spirits. Now that my potential has been unlocked, my aura is much stronger than high-level aura. Even if I face Sadako, my aura is enough to destroy her. There is no need to waste points." Meng Xiang said confidently.
"But isn't this too risky? At least exchange it for a weapon that can exorcise evil spirits, such as the Hero's Sword."
"The Hero Sword is worth 3,000 points, and I don't have many points now. I must redeem 'The Great Demon Separation' and the Spiritual Light as soon as possible, so I don't want to waste points. Besides, I already have an exorcist weapon. In the secondary training in Yu Yu Hakusho, I did not just train my spiritual energy. You see," Meng Xiang spread out his palms, and the spiritual energy visible to the naked eye gradually gathered in his palms, and then gradually extended. After a while, a ball of blue sword-shaped spiritual energy was already in Meng Xiang's hand. "The Spiritual Sword is the unique skill of Kuwahara Kazuma in Yu Yu Hakusho. Due to the different training directions of spiritual energy, my Spiritual Sword is not as powerful as Kuwahara Kazuma, and I can't control the length of the Spiritual Sword as flexibly as he does. However, the power of the Spiritual Sword is definitely a nemesis for ghosts."
Looking at the magic sword in Meng Xiang's hand, Mu Fei'er's eyes lit up, and her admiration for Meng Xiang increased a little more.
"Your bet is really big. After you come back, as a reward, I can spend a night with you. How about it?" Jie Juan said in a charming voice. Her words made Han Fan and others very embarrassed. Mu Feier even turned around and didn't dare to look at them directly.
"Forget it. I'm afraid you just want to ask me about my experience in The Ring. I don't have any mental illness and don't need a psychiatrist." Meng Xiang put away the spirit sword in his hand, picked up the T virus injection, and said with a little self-mockery, "Becoming a zombie and losing your humanity, I've tried it last time and it worked well. I have to bring it this time. If necessary, let's have a zombie vs. evil ghost fight."
"When are we going?" Han Fan asked.
"Tomorrow morning, have a good rest tonight." Meng Xiang had already made up his mind. He paused, then as if remembering something, he said to Han Fan: "You should think carefully about the captain's rights. It may help our team survive."
Han Fan nodded solemnly. As a captain, he had to fulfill his duties and plan for the survival of the team.
"Then let's have a good get together tonight, just to welcome Sister Fei'er to join the No-Name Team." Zhou Lina laughed.
Mu Fei'er blushed, not daring to look Meng Xiang in the eye. She looked at Zhou Lina and said, "There should be food here, right? If you don't mind, I'll make a sumptuous dinner for everyone tonight."
"You can cook?" Zhou Lina said in surprise. Jie Juan stretched out her right hand and gently tapped Zhou Lina's head and said, "Do you think Sister Fei'er is like you, who only knows how to play and have fun?"
Mu Fei'er blushed and said shyly: "I am the youngest daughter in the family. I have an older brother and two younger sisters. My older brother works outside, so I take care of the house naturally. Just don't dislike my cooking skills."
"How could that be? I haven't had home-cooked meals for a long time. Let's have a good time tonight." Meng Xiang laughed.
Although Mu Fei'er's room can be created at will, it is still very simple. There is no magnificent decoration, just an elegant rural cottage. There are no extra items except the necessary furniture and electrical appliances. Mu Fei'er prepared 10 dishes and a soup, which are just ordinary chicken, duck, fish and other dishes, but they made everyone eat very well. Meng Xiang also exchanged several top-grade champagnes and a bottle of Maotai, and poured a few sips into Han Fan. Under the catalysis of the alcohol, the atmosphere became very warm.
Meng Xiang was not drunk yet. He was enjoying the atmosphere because tomorrow he would trigger a side storyline. Life or death was not something he could control.
But he knew that if he wanted to become stronger, he had to be confident in himself first. He did not exchange his weapon this time because he was confident in his strength and skills. His goal was not just to survive in a cowardly way until he collected 100,000 points and then left in a cowardly way. Since he had entered the reincarnation world, he had to live a glorious life and then return with a full load.
"Come on, let's get drunk tonight." Meng Xiang raised his glass of Moutai, pushing the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax...
