Yuan Zhi's injuries are no longer serious. The hemostatic spray not only stops bleeding quickly, but also accelerates wound healing. Combined with the effectiveness of the blood-enhancing pills, Yuan Zhi is in much better spirits. She can support her body with a crutch and walk slowly around the room.
Meng Xiang told Yuan Zhi all about Ding Jie's decision. Yuan Zhi said worriedly, "Ding Jie is narrow-minded. Although he is not crazy, he often uses grand excuses to plot against people he doesn't like. You have experienced this before, so you should be careful. In addition, if someone must be sacrificed to lure Sadako out, I believe Ding Jie will choose those newcomers."
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to choose a plot character?" Meng Xiang didn't quite understand why Yuan Zhi guessed this way. Yuan Zhi smiled faintly, showing a helpless look and said: "I explained to you before that our identities cannot be known to the plot characters, otherwise we will be punished by the protagonist. Even if we find an excuse to trick the plot characters into watching the video and then put them under house arrest, wouldn't that be very troublesome? If we choose newcomers, at least they know everything that is happening now, and killing Sadako is their only way to survive, so they will definitely cooperate and lead Sadako out obediently."
Meng Xiang nodded, his eyes spurting out burning anger, his face suddenly changed, he looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, he said, "Ding Jie said that he doesn't need people who can't move. If he thinks that three newcomers are not enough, will he let you watch the video tape as well?"
Yuan Zhi smiled sadly and said, "I think so, but I am still a member of the Nameless Team, which has improved my scores a lot. He won't let me watch the video tape unless he has to."
"I hope so." Meng Xiang and Yuan Zhi had known each other for a short time, but as the saying goes, "The karma of others will be remembered for a thousand years", he has always been a person who respects me one foot, and I respect them ten feet, so he is a little worried about the disabled Yuan Zhi. Ding Jie is arrogant and arrogant, and he will do anything to achieve his goals. Even if he does it openly, he will secretly calculate. Meng Xiang does not want to be inferior to others, so he is more eager to improve his strength, eager to have enough strength to resist Ding Jie, and eager to see Ding Jie beg him to save him one day.
At 2:00 p.m. on September 6, Meng Xiang and Zhang Hui called a taxi. There was no language barrier in the samsara world, so Meng Xiang could speak Mandarin to the driver.
"Please take us to Izu Pacific Land."
"Izu Pacific Land? It's quite far away. Why don't you take the subway?" The Japanese driver was very considerate of the passengers. Meng Xiang felt a little sour. He didn't like Japan, but there were indeed many things in Japan that were worth learning from. He smiled and replied, "Because we are in a hurry, please hurry up."
Zhang Hui has been depressed since entering the reincarnation world. His dim eyes show that he is an extremely pessimistic person. But not long after the car drove out, Zhang Hui suddenly came over and took the initiative to say to Meng Xiang: "Excuse me, if we follow the captain's plan, can we really kill Sadako?"
Before Meng Xiang could answer, the driver asked as he drove the car: "What's the plan? Who is Sadako? What game are you talking about?"
Zhang Hui was suddenly stunned, and asked Meng Xiang with a trembling body: "Why... why did I hear a voice saying that I... said that I was deducted 1,000 points?"
Meng Xiang remembered that Ding Jie had mentioned that they couldn't let the characters know their identities and their missions, otherwise they would be punished by the Lord God. It turned out that the punishment was to deduct 1,000 points. In other words, Zhang Hui's points were -1,000. He immediately put his hand over Zhang Hui's mouth and said, "We'll talk about these things when we get to Izu. Don't think too much. Just stay calm no matter what happens."
"But..." Zhang Hui's eyes were filled with panic. Meng Xiang raised his voice slightly and said, "Don't talk about this anymore. I will tell you in detail when we get to Izu."
Zhang Hui had no choice but to lean on the sofa, staring intently outside the car, his body shaking from time to time.
Meng Xiang doesn't want to be a hero because he can't even protect himself.
Although this supernatural horror film is not as dangerous as Starship Troopers, it is more difficult than Starship Troopers. The reason is that Starship Troopers follows the plot all the time, but in this Ring, familiarity with the plot is obviously not very useful, and they have to add plots without authorization. Therefore, it is more difficult to complete the task than Starship Troopers.
Izu Pacific Land is located in the suburbs of the neighboring city, which is quite far away. It took nearly 2 hours in a taxi to get to the amusement park. According to the plot, the hotel is near the amusement park. The hotel where Tomoko and others first stayed was marked with B4 in front of the room.
The driver found the hotel quickly. Meng Xiang paid the fare and went to the hotel with Zhang Hui. Japanese hotels are like villas, with a single room and very elegant. Tomoko, Haruko and the other four watched the videotape in this hotel, and they were all killed by Sadako 7 days later. Not long after, the extremely curious heroine Asakawa Reiko also watched the videotape in this hotel, which led to the movie being pushed into **.
Zhang Hui suddenly stopped and looked at the hotel with a hint of fear in his eyes. Meng Xiang understood that Zhang Hui must have seen "The Ring" and recognized this hotel, so he was terrified.
"Please turn around, both of you." The driver shouted from behind, and Meng Xiang and Zhang Hui couldn't help but turn their heads. "Click!" As the lights flashed, the driver took out his DC and took a photo of Meng Xiang and Zhang Hui. He smiled as he fiddled with his DC and said, "Actually, I haven't been here either. I'm too busy with work, but my son likes to brag to others that I once drove passengers all over Japan. For this reason, I always take photos of my guests when I go to faraway places. If you don't mind, I'll keep this photo. After my son sees it, he will definitely... Hey, is my camera broken? Why is the photo so blurry?"
Meng Xiang was not a celebrity, so he did not care about the right to look good. But when he heard the driver say that suddenly, he came over with Zhang Hui out of curiosity. They saw that the DC had clearly captured the two of them, the hotel behind them, and the word "B4" in the photo, but his appearance had become blurry and even a little distorted.
The driver apologized repeatedly, put away the DC, started the car and left. Zhang Hui asked in panic: "Brother Meng, does that photo look familiar to you? I remember that it seems that all the photos taken after watching the videotape and being cursed by Sadako are like this. Have you watched the videotape?"
"I haven't watched it yet." Meng Xiang also felt very strange, but one thing was certain, he had never watched the videotape, so it was impossible for him to be cursed.
Meng Xiang figured this out and regained his composure. "Maybe it's really because of his DC focus problem. I haven't watched the videotape, so there's no need to worry. Let's find the management office first. The heroine found the cursed videotape on the rack where they rented videotapes."
Zhang Hui felt slightly relieved after hearing what Meng Xiang said, but he kept looking around secretly with flickering eyes and couldn't calm down for a long time.
After finding the management office, Meng Xiang immediately spotted the cursed videotape wrapped in a white bag at the lowest level of the rental videotapes pile. He forced a smile and said to the administrator, "Uncle, we want to rent it for one night. Can you arrange a hotel for us?"
"Okay, all the hotels for tonight are booked. Only B4 is left. Would you like to rent it?"
Zhang Hui's body trembled slightly and he pulled Meng Xiang's hand. Meng Xiang knew he was afraid, but it was already evening and if he didn't live in B4, he would have to sleep on the street, and he still had to do the dubbing work. So he ignored Zhang Hui and said to the administrator with a smile: "Okay, we'll rent B4 tonight. By the way, can we rent that videotape?" He pointed to the curse videotape in the corner.
The administrator turned around and picked up the videotape in the direction Meng Xiang pointed. He took it out and looked at it from left to right, muttering, "Strange, I clearly repackaged it this morning, why is it in a white bag again?" He handed the videotape over, and Meng Xiang took it, holding it tightly as if he was holding a piece of steel. It was this videotape that led to the entire story of "Midnight Ring". This is the crystallization of Sadako's curse, which suppressed Sadako's resentment.
Meng Xiang bought a box of blank videotapes and returned to the B4 Hotel with the cursed videotape. This elegant and chic house seemed to suddenly become dark because of the arrival of the cursed videotape. Zhang Hui stood outside shivering, as if his feet were rooted to the ground. Meng Xiang opened the door, turned to Zhang Hui and said with a smile: "A real man should not be timid in doing things. Besides, you are familiar with the plot and should know that as long as you don't watch the videotape, nothing dangerous will happen."
Zhang Hui's face was distorted, and he seemed to be in despair. He stood outside in a daze.
Meng Xiang had no patience to waste time with him, and said calmly: "If you don't want to come in to rest, just sleep outside tonight." After that, he strode into the hotel. This hotel was just like the movie, a huge house with only a sofa, a table and a movie. It was empty, not even a pot of water. Meng Xiang cursed this illogical plot, but heard Zhang Hui outside the room shouting: "Brother Meng, please copy the videotape first, I will come in later."
"Fuck, what a coward." Meng Xiang was annoyed by this companion who was like a woman. He kind of understood why Ding Jie didn't recognize newcomers. Sometimes newcomers could indeed cause unnecessary trouble.
Meng Xiang was not in a hurry. He put away the Bei wine and snacks he bought from outside, took a sip of Bei wine to relax his body. He knew the plot very well and knew that as long as he didn't watch the videotape, there would be no danger, so he was happy to relax.
But there are exceptions to everything. Meng Xiang guessed Sadako's foresight, but he didn't know how many traps Sadako had set for this encounter. What awaited them was infinite terror.
