Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 18 Kayako: Feeling a chill on my back

"Now, I want you to fight him with the determination to kill Zheng Zha. If you perform well, I can make an exception and let you become a member of the Zhongzhou team early."

Luo Li pointed at Zheng Zha and said so. Zhao Yingkong asked in return, "Do you have this right?"

At the same time, Zhao Yingkong glanced at the others and found that no one came forward to stop Luo Li. Instead, they looked like they were waiting for a good show to begin.

"What do you think?" Luo Li did not give a direct answer, but asked meaningfully while looking at the frightened newcomer on the magic screen.

Zhao Yingkong thought about the second condition of becoming a temporary member of the Zhongzhou team: the newcomer must obey the command of the senior members.

Zhao Yingkong, who thought this was an obedience test, chose to obey, but he was still dissatisfied in his heart and was ready to teach the senior a profound lesson.

"I understand, but don't blame me if you accidentally kill him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Zha, who had originally wanted to give in and fool the opponent, suddenly became angry.

I thought that even Luo Li only dared to confront the veterans in the team after returning to the main god space and strengthening herself. You, a newcomer who hasn't been strengthened yet, want to learn from her?
This trend must be stopped, and I, the temporary captain of the Zhongzhou team, will be responsible for it. It's time to teach you newcomers to respect your seniors.

"Kill me? Just you?" Zheng Zha stood in the middle of the open space made by everyone, hooked his finger at Zhao Yingkong with his bare hands, signaling her to attack.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingkong's originally careless eyes instantly became sharp, and his whole body became aggressive.

For a moment, Zheng Zha felt a deadly danger approaching, and the last time he felt this sense of danger was from the alien.

“Wait…!” Realizing that a fight between the two would most likely result in both sides suffering injuries, Zheng Zha wanted to end this farce.

But Zhao Yingkong ignored him, lowered his body and rushed over, raised his arm, and scratched Zheng Zha's neck with his smooth nails.

Faced with life-threatening danger, Zheng Zha's body moved before his thoughts. He leaned his upper body back, making Zhao Yingkong's attack miss by a hair's breadth. He took the opportunity to kick out, sending Zhao Yingkong flying.

Zhao Yingkong quickly adjusted his stance in mid-air, dropping his feet to a deep squat. Before he could fall, he exerted force, his entire body springing up like a spring, his fingers lining up like sharp arrows as he shot towards Zheng Zha.

(This is... a gene lock!)
Zheng Zha's eyes accidentally met Zhao Yingkong's. He found that the other person's pupils were dilated and he looked dazed. He was shocked and unlocked the genetic lock.

Seeing that both of them had opened their genetic locks, Luo Li, having achieved her goal, waved her wand and shouted, "Stop~!"

But how could Zhao Yingkong, who had already left the bow, stop just like that? There was no way he could stop.

However, Luo Li was well prepared. A ball of thick fog-like magic power instantly condensed in front of Zhao Yingkong, like a bird-catching net, trapping Zhao Yingkong in mid-air. Zhao Yingkong, wrapped in the ball of magic power, was upside down and struggled violently.

But the magic power was visible but intangible. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't find a place to gain leverage. She could only glare at Luo Li and said, "Let me go!"

"No problem~!" Luo Li waved the magic wand again, and the magic ball dissipated with a bang. Zhao Yingkong landed on the ground as gracefully as a cat.

"Now I declare that Zhao Yingkong becomes an official member of the Zhongzhou team. Who supports and who opposes?" Luo Li initiated a vote at the right time.

Li Shuaxi decisively supported it, Chu Xuan neither supported nor opposed it, and the others also expressed their attitudes after seeing Zheng Zha nod.

After a short rest, the aftereffects of unlocking the gene lock having worn off, Zheng Zha asked Zhao Yingkong, who was playing with the black keys. "Welcome, I'd like to ask, did you unlock the gene lock just now?"

After receiving a positive answer, Zheng Zha looked at the other two newcomers who looked puzzled and explained what the gene lock was. Finally, he emphasized: "The gene lock is very important. If you have the opportunity to unlock it, you must try it."

Qi Tengyi and Ming Yanwei were speechless after hearing this. Trying to unlock the door means facing life-threatening danger, but most people would instinctively choose to find a way out instead of rushing forward as Zheng Zha said.

At this time, Luo Li interrupted. "Don't listen to his nonsense. I have a simple, efficient and safe method for unlocking the lock. I'll arrange it for you after we return to the main divine space. I guarantee that everyone can unlock the first level of the genetic lock. If you're lucky, you can open it directly to the third level without any problem."

After hearing this, Zheng Zha repeatedly said, "What? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If you had it, why didn't you give it to Zhan Lan, Lingdian, Li Shuaixi, and Zhang Jie?"

Luo Li explained this.

"There are two reasons. One is that there aren't enough bonus points. The other is that if everyone unlocks the lock at the same time, the difficulty of the horror movie might surge. But now we're facing a horror movie with twenty people. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"This... I..." Zheng Zha didn't know what to say. If what Luo Li said was true, then he was a clown for trying so hard to open the genetic lock.

"Don't be depressed, Zheng Zha, I haven't finished yet." Luo Li then revealed to everyone the news that opening the fourth-level gene lock would give birth to an inner demon.

"In short, after the tempering and opening of the genetic lock, I at least have a chance to deal with the inner demons when I encounter them at the fourth level.

But if you use my method to take shortcuts, once you unlock the fourth level, you will definitely die. You have time like a horror movie to think about it, and just tell me when you return to the main divine space."

Who would have thought that as soon as Luo Li finished speaking, Li Shuaixi made a decision. "Big sister, I choose to take a shortcut!"

Then Li Shuaxi expressed his inner thoughts.

"I know myself well. I can't proactively face danger and withstand pressure to unlock my genetic lock. But if I don't unlock my genetic lock, I'll have fewer cards than others. You know, the next horror movie might be a group fight.

Besides, a fourth-order gene lock is not so easy to open. Instead of worrying about future demons, it is better to think about how to go on. Only by surviving can we consider the future. "

Li Shuaxi's words made everyone in the Zhongzhou team look up to him. They didn't expect that he, who was so timid in the last game against Alien 1, would have such awareness.

"Li Shuaxi, you will survive, we will all survive!" Zheng Zha looked around and assured everyone.

Seeing that Zheng Zha had boosted everyone's morale, Luo Li took the opportunity to say, "Alright, stop being sentimental. It's getting late, and we should decide on our next move."

"I suggest we try the option of killing the main body of the Curse first. It will give us a B-level side story and a 5000 reward. If we take this reward, Zheng Zha will have enough money to resolve the conflict of self-strengthening.

Moreover, the Lord God clearly stated that a reward would be given for each kill, which means that Kayako, the main character of the Grudge, is very likely to be immortal, or that specific conditions are required to completely eliminate her.

This means that we can get more rewards, and Zero Point can also take this opportunity to complete his own enhancement.

Let's refer to the previous Alien game and see how the Lord God distributed rewards. Others might be able to get a piece of the pie, and as long as they get the side story, they'll make a killing! "
