Chapter 57 Relaxed and Carefree, Wave 5.
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Zhang Jie immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
The plan was to have him deliberately help the Central Continent team complete the mission, and once the main god discovered this, he would punish them by increasing the difficulty.
Last time in the Alien instance, the ordinary Alien Queen was enhanced by the main god to the point that only a nuclear bomb could kill her.
However, once the difficulty increases, the rewards also multiply.
Wang Lu thought for a moment: "Kayako has already lost 4 lives, leaving her with 3. Tomorrow we'll go out again to look for other items and see if we can find any more clues."
Whether or not the plan can be launched depends mainly on the cards you're dealt. If you have many cards, play them; if you have few, fold. A wise man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.
…………
Under Wang Lu's command, the Zhongzhou team quickly split into three groups.
Wang Lu is fast and can fly; he works alone in a team, responsible for long-range targets.
Chu Xuan pulled out a list for him, which contained a bunch of artifacts related to mythology, such as the Kusanagi sword enshrined in Nagoya, the Yasakani no Magatama in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, and the Yasakani no Kagami in Mie Prefecture...
These things may not be useful, but after receiving offerings for so many years, they should have some kind of supernatural power.
If human resentment can turn into ghosts, then human hope should naturally be able to turn into gods, otherwise the world would have been destroyed long ago.
Based on this speculation, Wang Lu set off overnight on a floating cannon to begin his artifact collection journey.
First, there was the Yasakani no Magatama. After finding out its location online, he descended from the sky and unleashed a barrage of attacks, blowing up all the security personnel before cleanly and efficiently snatching the treasure. He then soared into the sky aboard a floating cannon.
The moment I received the item, the main god did not send any notification.
This is bad news. Whether it's the T-virus, the Blackwater, or the Book of the Sun and the Spear of Judgment, the main god will give you a hint after you get them, telling you that they are good things.
However, when they obtained the Yasakani no Magatama, there were no clues.
But Wang Lu didn't care about that anymore and headed straight for the next location—the Kusanagi Sword.
boom----
They used floating cannons to clear the way, bombarded the security personnel, rushed into the shrine, grabbed the items, and ran.
However, embarrassingly, the main god still did not provide any guidance.
Considering that the Buddhist scriptures and talismans obtained by the Zhongzhou team did not provide any clues, Wang Lu did not hastily conclude that these things were useless.
He rushed to the next location as usual, quickly killed the security guard, and then grabbed whatever he could find, stuffed it into his bag, and took it away...
Meanwhile, the rest of the Zhongzhou team continued their operations.
Finally, around 3 PM, everyone regrouped at the temple and brought out their respective bounties—
A bowl, a string of prayer beads, a bow, and a doll.
Some were bought from local exorcists, and some were stolen. In short, everyone piled up all the props together and found over a hundred items.
This includes cultural relics that Wang Lu looted from major cities, including the so-called three great artifacts.
With so many items, their authenticity naturally becomes questionable.
Zhan Lan asked, "Isn't this a bit too much? Wasn't it said that there should be 7 plot props? These look like there are more than 70."
Qi Teng squatted on the ground, excitedly sorting through the items one by one.
He picked up a mirror, examined himself closely, and then tossed it aside. "This is new, brand new, undisputed new."
The object he had tossed aside was the Yata Mirror. It was something Wang Lu had personally stolen from the Triple Divine Palace.
"And this one, this one is so fake, it's considered pretty bad even in the counterfeiting world."
Chu Xuan looked at the props being separated one by one on the ground and said, "New doesn't necessarily mean fake. Even if it's a fake, after being worshipped for decades, it might become real."
"When the battle begins at night, the veterans will be in charge of controlling Kayako, while the newbies will pick up these artifacts on the ground and slap them on Kayako. Whether it works or not, we'll find out soon enough."
"That's all we can do."
…………
Soon, night fell again.
After yesterday's easy and enjoyable kills, everyone's fear has greatly diminished today. Zhan Lan, in particular, looks much more mature than yesterday.
At least when that chilling feeling returned, her first reaction was no longer to shrink back, but to observe Zhao Yingkong beside her with predatory eyes, just like everyone else.
Kayako is here!
The first wave consisted of female ghosts crawling on the ground, rushing towards one of the people at an extremely fast speed!
Because of the invisibility of spirits, Kayako can only be found after someone has been affected. But today's situation seems to be different.
Zhan Lan has developed a new method.
By concentrating a large amount of mental energy, one can scan a point or a line to see if there are ghosts.
So she simply divided the surrounding area into several sections and used the dichotomy method to gradually rule out whether Kayako was going to attack.
This whimsical idea, based on a gamble, was incredibly lucky and led to Kayako's discovery on the first try!
"A rock! Kayako is on a rock!"
Zheng Zha was the closest. Upon hearing the command, his body suddenly expanded, becoming like a rag, and stuck to the large rock behind him with a splat.
Sure enough, his body bulged out from the middle, and a ghostly figure was trapped inside!
"Aha!!"
Kayako exhaled, but like Hakimi, no one was afraid. Wang Lu activated his power, forcibly pulling Kayako out from under Zheng Zha's body.
Her body passed through Zheng Zha, sizzling as it was burned by the blood. Immediately afterwards, the crowd pulled out their weapons and launched into a flurry of attacks.
Clang.
Various artifacts were thrown at Kayako, and experiments began.
If it works, put it away and move on to the next item. If it doesn't work, just throw it in the trash.
Soon, the first wave of Kayako was beaten to death by a group of people.
Then, the second wave came.
Zhan Lan's search failed due to luck. Kayako transformed into two clones, one in front and one behind, grabbing Qi Tengyi's neck and ankle.
"Help!" Qi Teng shouted, but then his neck was too constricted to make a sound.
However, the veteran of the Central Continent Team was very reliable. The moment he saw him being attacked, Zero Point Overlord swung his fist, which was wrapped in Sunflower True Qi, around him with great force.
With just a few punches and kicks, the second wave of Kayako was reduced to ashes.
Subsequently, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth waves were all passed smoothly without causing any disturbance.
As before, Kayako began to condense her enormous body in the sky.
"Watch out, everyone! Kayako has grown huge!"
This time, the newcomers also had the opportunity to participate. They picked out items from the pile of artifacts that could harm Kayako and eyed them menacingly.
In the sky:
Kayako: "Haa!!"
On the ground:
Zhan Lan: "Aha!!"
The human and the ghost clashed violently with a mental shockwave, causing the human to faint and the ghost to be momentarily stunned and then immediately subdued.
In a short moment, a dense barrage of floating projectiles flew out, riddling Kayako with holes.
Immediately afterwards, three burly men rushed forward.
Wang Lu stroked his chin and said, "I feel like I've seen this scene more than once."
Chu Xuan: "Indeed, this is the third time already. I have to say, the performance of the telekinetic floating cannons is truly outrageous. Despite being a technological artifact, it has such high damage against spirits."
boom--
Kayako's body exploded, and the mirror in Qi Teng's hand also turned into dust.
Clearly, it was the tool in his hand that, by sheer luck, killed Kayako.
However, the rewards from the main god were calculated based on damage, and Wang Lu still relied on the explosive output of the floating cannons to get the lion's share of the rewards.
