Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 32 Target: The Grudge

In the blink of an eye, the sun set again. Before the night fell, Zheng Zha and his group rushed back to the base. The first thing they did when they returned was to chase Luo Li and ask her if she had found the escaped Lu Renjia and the other two.

"No, the Tokyo area is so big. If we want to find three people, we can only rely on luck."

After hearing this, Zheng Zha thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He was no longer in a hurry and instead talked about another matter that concerned everyone.

"We passed by last night's battlefield today and found that the area has been blocked by local police. Should we change our base and stay farther away?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Li's reaction was very calm. She replied casually: "Oh, I arranged those people."

Now, let alone Zheng Zha, even Zhan Lan, Li Shuaxi, Ming Yanwei and others had question marks in their minds and asked.

"Hmm? You arranged it? When?"

Then, Luo Li told everyone that she had used mental suggestion to control the nearby police station, saying that the nearby police were all their own people now, and as long as not too many indigenous people died, the situation could basically be suppressed.

Zheng Zha recalled the area cordoned off by the police and asked doubtfully, "Uh...we caused so much damage last night, but can they suppress it?"

After hearing this, Luo Li said that the damage to houses and roads in the neighborhood was a trivial matter, and the authorities had countless excuses to suppress it, of course, the premise was that not too many people died.

"It was a big one, but no indigenous people were killed. So they could suppress it with any excuse, like a sewer gas explosion... or a gas pipe explosion... In short, as long as there weren't massive indigenous deaths, it could basically be suppressed."

This is also the reason why Luo Li was in a hurry to find Lu Renjia and the other two. She was worried that the three of them would do something shocking that would lead to the death of a large number of indigenous people.

In that case, not to mention that the local government will definitely be alarmed, the key is whether the curse will be strengthened as a result.

So Luo Li couldn't understand why the three people disappeared without a trace in just a few minutes. They couldn't be found in the nearby area, and if they were any farther away, they wouldn't be able to run away on foot.

There must be someone behind this!
Luo Li glanced at Zhang Jie secretly, and wanted to laugh when she saw his sad face. Perhaps only Zheng Zha believed that he was really worried about his companions and worried that Lu Renjia and the other two would cause trouble.

Just when everyone was frowning and wondering where Lu Renjia and the other two were hiding, Zheng Zha suddenly had an idea.

"Hey, I have an idea! Luo Li, don't you control the local police station? Wouldn't it be convenient and quick to have them issue a wanted warrant and use the local police force to help us find the person?"

Then, Luo Li looked down on his intelligence. "Idiot, is it that easy to issue a wanted warrant? That kind of thing requires approval from multiple departments before it can be issued. Unless you can control the entire Tokyo judicial process, forget it."

After being scolded, Zheng Zha realized that he was thinking too one-sidedly, and at the same time he became more determined to give up his position.

At this moment, Luo Li, who didn't know that most people had decided to support her as the captain, waved her hand and switched the magic projection in the living room to a Japanese-style house that everyone was very familiar with.

"In short, we can only hope for luck now. If we are lucky, they might take the bait themselves."

Following Luo Li's words, everyone recognized that the house was the house where Kayako lived during her lifetime. It was also the place where everyone was sent by the Lord God when they entered the world of The Grudge.

"You mean to say that Lu Renjia and the other two might return to this cursed house? Aren't they afraid of Kayako?"

Zhan Lan guessed Luo Li's thoughts, but thought it was impossible. How could someone be so desperate as to cause trouble for The Grudge? "That's not necessarily true. Given the personalities of those three, if they were desperate, they would definitely consider causing trouble for the seniors even if it meant death. If they had such thoughts, there's a high chance they would actively seek out The Grudge."

Like Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha also thought this was impossible and jokingly said, "But what's the point of looking for the Grudge? Will the Grudge listen to them and deal with us?"

"Zheng Zha, the possibility you described does have a very small chance of happening, but the more likely possibility is that they know they can't survive and plan to use their lives to feed the curse, and then let the curse grow and kill us seniors."

Having said this, Luo Li paused, her eyes sweeping over everyone present, and lightly reminded, "Have you forgotten that in most horror movies, the power of ghosts grows stronger as they kill people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the living room gasped, and Zhang Jie even jumped up.

"Why didn't you tell me this crucial information earlier? Now so many new recruits have died... It's over!"

After saying that, Zhang Jie collapsed to the ground with his head in his hands, looking like he was beyond help.

But Luo Li acted shocked and said, "You really didn't think of this before?!"

…Now it was everyone’s turn to be embarrassed. It turned out that it wasn’t that Luo Li didn’t remind them, but that she thought everyone knew this information…
After thinking about it carefully, everyone realized that it really wasn't Luo Li's fault. As a reincarnator who was constantly reincarnated in horror movies, of course she had to keep all the settings of horror movies in mind instead of waiting for others to remind her.

Seeing that everyone was beginning to worry that Kayako's strength would really become so strong, Luo Li quickly encouraged everyone and said.

"Hey, don't worry. I made a bet with someone that the whole team must survive. Trust me!"

Of course, Luo Li also knew that it was useless to just pump up the air, just like a balloon that would burst if poked. In order to boost everyone's confidence, Luo Li mentioned the task issued by the Lord God.

"Do you remember the Lord's quest? Kill Kayako, the main character of the Grudge, once and you'll receive a 5000 bonus for the B-rank side story."

Zheng Zha was confused for a moment, thinking that the relationship between the two was that the curse had become stronger and the rewards were harder to get, but his intuition told him that this was not what Luo Li meant.

So, Zheng Zha, who couldn't figure it out, spoke up.

"Remember, does this have anything to do with the Grudge we might be facing next that's getting stronger?"

Luo Li sighed helplessly and did not answer Zheng Zha directly. Instead, she looked at the others who were still thinking.

After a while, just as Zheng Zha was about to ask further questions, Zhan Lan suddenly said, "I've figured it out! If the Grudge can grow stronger, then there might be ways to weaken it!"

Afterwards, Zhan Lan explained his bold guess in detail to everyone and concluded.

"The main questline is to survive for seven days, but every time you kill the main body of the curse, you will be rewarded. This is the hint the Lord God gave us.

From the very beginning, the Lord God wanted us to confront the Curse Kayako head-on, before it grows up, and to kill and weaken it repeatedly until we return to the Lord God's dimension in seven days!"
