Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 40 Puppet

Zheng Zha looked at Zhang Jie, who seemed to be in danger but hadn't even activated his magic amulet, and chose to follow Luo Li's orders and deal with Kayako on Lu Renjia's side first.

"Fuck! Luo Li, you stinky girl, you're trying to trick me!" Zhang Jie dodged Kayako's attack, jumped out of the kitchen window and into the yard, cursing non-stop.

Just now, when Zhang Jie was enjoying a night barbecue alone, Kayako suddenly attacked him while he was talking on the phone with Zheng Zha, scaring him so much that he almost had a PTSD attack.

Fortunately, the magic amulet worked and helped him block Kayako's sneak attack, which allowed him to control himself in time and prevent his strength from being exposed.

Unfortunately, after blocking Kayako's sneak attack, the magic amulet suddenly became hot and broke into several pieces.

At first, Zhang Jie thought he was unlucky and was assigned a defective product.

But when he took out the black keys and prepared to teach Kayako a lesson, the black keys in his hand began to heat up and smoke as soon as they were activated.

If Zhang Jie hadn't been quick enough to throw the black key away, the thing would have exploded in his hand.

These two magic costumes had problems at this critical moment. Not to mention Zhang Jie, even Zheng Zha could guess that someone had tampered with them.

The only one who can tamper with these two magic costumes is their maker, Luo Li.

In order to avoid being caught by Kayako, Zhang Jie, who lost his equipment, fled around the edge of the villa area in a panic, while trying to contact Zheng Zha again.

"Hello, hello! Hello!!! Zheng Zha, can you hear me? There's something wrong with my amulet, come and save me!"

"Beep beep beep..."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the communicator, Zhang Jie was so angry that he laughed. Was he being tricked or was he just unlucky? Why did the equipment in his hands keep breaking down one after another?

After making sure that he would not get help for a while, Zhang Jie looked back at Kayako who was chasing him closely and said with gritted teeth.

"Damn it, just Kayako and Luo Li! Don't give me a chance, otherwise..."

But despite all the harsh words, all Zhang Jie can do now is to compete in long-distance running with Kayako.

As for risking exposing his strength to kill the other party, Zhang Jie thought about the punishment from the Lord God and shuddered. It would be better to be a waste.

But in fact, Zhang Jie has never felt so depressed.

I'm a double-A-rank spiritually enhanced being! The captain of the Zhongzhou team, certified by the Lord God! A reincarnator who once unlocked the third level of the genetic lock!
At this moment, I am like a dog, being chased by the most B-rank Curse Kayako. I...

Thinking about Na'er who was still waiting for him to return to the main god space, Zhang Jie accepted his fate in an instant. Whatever happened, it was fine... The most important thing was to live with his wife.

On the other side, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and others blocked Lu Renjia and Kayako who was clinging to his back as planned.

When he saw the senior people appear, a glimmer of hope appeared in Lu Renjia's eyes. He hoped that the other party would save him for the sake of the reward.

"Save me, please save me. As long as I survive, I will obey you in every horror movie from now on, and I will give you all the rewards. Please."

Zheng Zha, who had encountered a similar situation once, asked Zhan Lan to take action based on his experience.

"Zhan Lan, come here."

"Yeah." Zhan Lan raised his hand and threw a purifying beam at Lu Renjia. As a result, Kayako was fine, but Lu Renjia screamed as if he was burned.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zheng Zha took a step forward to protect everyone behind him, and asked Zhan Lan at the same time.

"Zhan Lan? What's going on?"

This was the first time that Zhan Lan encountered such a situation, and he answered after a moment of hesitation.

"I don't know. How about I try healing?" Zheng Zha looked at Lu Renjia who was still walking towards them, his face heavy with worry. "There's no other way. Let's give it a try."

So, Zhan Lan once again mobilized a little divine power and released a healing prayer to Lu Renjia.

But the result was the same as when the purification was applied. As soon as the divine power came into contact with Lu Renjia, it triggered a violent reaction, burning wisps of black air on Lu Renjia's body like flames.

Is this the breath of a curse?

Zhan Lan immediately concentrated the divine power on his eyes. His originally black pupils instantly turned light gold, shining brightly in the dark night. He also saw clearly the true nature of Lu Renjia at the moment.

"Zheng Zha. Lu Renjia is already dead. The one standing before us now is just a puppet controlled by Kayako."

As he spoke, Zhan Lan continued to shine the divine power in the form of holy light on Lu Renjia's body. Golden flames immediately ignited, and the black energy infused into Lu Renjia's body was stimulated and burst out. Lu Renjia exploded like a balloon.

Zhan Lan, who had been on guard against Kayako's move, instantly detonated the holy light in front of him. The oncoming black air was like morning mist, quickly dissipating under the pale golden holy light.

When the holy light dissipated, neither Lu Renjia nor Kayako were anywhere to be seen.

After the crisis was resolved, Zheng Zha sincerely thanked Zhan Lan. In that dangerous scene just now, Zheng Zha believed that he could only protect himself, and it was thanks to Zhan Lan that he protected the others.

"Zhan Lan, it's a good thing I have you, otherwise this would be troublesome. How exhausted are you? Can you still continue to fight?"

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do. As for the consumption, it's not a problem."

Zhan Lan raised his right hand, and the red command seal on the back of his hand caught Zheng Zha's eyes. Zheng Zha realized that he had asked a stupid question and touched his head embarrassedly.

"Look at my poor memory! I even forgot the mana recovery method Luo Li prepared. Oh, right! I need to tell Luo Li quickly about Lu Renjia being cursed and turned into a puppet. Maybe Xiao Bingyi too!"

Zheng Zha then remembered to notify Luo Li, but just as he took out his communicator, Luo Li called.

"Hey, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, can you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it!" Zheng Zha replied quickly. Just as he was about to tell the other party about the puppet, Luo Li took the initiative to talk about it.

"Anyway, don't hold back, just eliminate them. No bonus points will be deducted."

After Luo Li finished speaking, Zheng Zha stood there with the communicator in his hand, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Zhan Lan reluctantly took the communicator from Zheng Zha.

"Luo Li, we've already taken care of it here, and we were just about to remind you to be careful."

As a result, Luo Li's surprised voice came from the communicator.

"Oh~, you actually discovered the truth on your own, that's a lot of progress. Enough of the small talk, let's go meet up with Zhang Jie."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhan Lan to reply, Luo Li unilaterally hung up the phone, took Li Shuaxi and Zhao Yingkong, and rushed to Zhang Jie at midnight.

"Zero o'clock, you just need to wait for the opportunity to make the final strike. The reward for this kill is yours."

Lingdian stroked the improved Barrett M107 in his arms, which had been strengthened by Luo Li's magic, and responded firmly.

"Ah."
