Chen Lu madly clicked the button to go downstairs. Fortunately, the elevator door opened before “Wang Gang” could catch up with him.
Chen Lu’s mind was very puzzled now. Before leaving, he heard Wang Gang’s curse, which made him feel that something terrible would happen.
Chen Lu pressed the close button four or five times nonstop, and the elevator finally started to go down to the first floor. Then the elevator door opened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, there was no ghost in the elevator.
He quickly stepped out of the elevator, but his pupils shrank, and he saw a weird black box placed at the elevator door.
This box was one of those things called a ‘blind box.’
Chen Lu guessed that all of that which took place in Wang Gang’s house had to do with the “blind box” stacked in the room. Chen Lu was not trying to solve the problem but to run.
So Chen Lu bypassed the blind box and left it to professionals to solve the ghost problem.
Chen Lu ran out of the building, but the scene outside of the Community gave Chen Lu a cold breath.
Someone installed Three or four blind box vending machines throughout the Community, and those were the same “blind boxes” as Wang Gang’s home. Someone put black blind boxes everywhere in the Community, and many of them were half-open, giving off some black gas.
Even after seeing all this, with the help of Bull’s Eye Tears Perfume, Chen Lu didn’t stop.
He hurriedly walked out of the Community. Even though the Security guard called out to him, he ignored it.
“This kid, what’s he doing walking so fast? . . .”
The security guard swore and spit as he saw Chen Lu run so fast.
“Forget it, let’s see what nice stuff can be found in the blind box.”
The security guard held the newly-promoted “One-Yuan blind box” with a bright light in his eyes.
“I finally got home...”
Chen Lu hurried to the shower, there’s nothing like a comfortable hot bath to ease one’s fatigue.
As Chen Lu washed, the hot air spread in the bathroom stall, hot water finally relaxed his stressed nerves, and a long sigh of relief emerged.
“By the way . . .Did Check-in System finish the update? “
He remembered that he had become an official player, and the System was updating the data at the time. It should be updated by now.
Chen Lu shut off the hot water, picked up the phone next to him, and opened the little app.
Chen Lu was right, the System had been updated, and with his third Check-In, he became an official player.
[You have become an official player, and Your first official Check-In location is being confirmed.]
[Confirmation is complete, please go to the haunted house of Kayako, in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan, before tomorrow to Check-In.]
“This place is...What the hell?”
“Seriously? Are you kidding me? Want me to fly to Japan to Check-In at the haunted house of Kayako by myself?”
Chen Lu was shocked, then rolled his eyes and tossed aside the phone after locking the screen.
Was this little app getting crazy? Is this little app crazy? Kayako’s ghost house is a scene from the movie “The Grudge”. How did he travel into the film?
Chen Lu complained about the app’s unreliable idea, but he didn’t entirely reject it at the bottom of his heart.
Then again, it seemed as if this small app was already quite outrageous.
Chen Lu threw a punch in the air, and the wind sound was as crisp and striking as a tiger pouncing on its food.
This [Frightening Tiger Fighting Technique] was directly downloaded in his head.
“Can this small app really allow me to get into “The Grudge”?”
Chen Lu clenched his fist, and his arm was full of strength; he liked this feeling. But hesitation appeared in his eyes again and quickly shook his head.
“Forget it, the Check-In at Wang Gang’s family was already crazy enough. If I really crossed into “The Grudge” and was targeted by Kayako, do you think there is a chance to survive?”
“It’s better to be an ordinary & honest person.”
Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was some reluctance in his heart, safety was most important.
Then Chen Lu thought about things that occurred at Wang Gang’s house.
“What is going on with those blind boxes?”
Chen Lu frowned; many thoughts surging in his mind..
This was the first time Chen Lu had seen a ghost, but it is not the first time he has heard of Ghosts.
As early as twenty years ago, the authorities had already notified the appearance of “unnatural forces” in the world. The probability of strange events was extremely low. Still, the authorities took it very seriously and established a special “Abnormal Event Investigation Team” to solve strange events.
Hmm ...... What’s the telephone number to report such events? I’ll have to check it later and report the information about Wang Gang’s house.
“hmm...really comfortable. “
Chen Lu turned off the hot water, stretched himself, took out a towel, wrapped it around his body, and walked out of the shower room.
I’m a little tired today, so I’d better go to bed early. ......
He was so tired that he wanted to lie down on the soft bed and swim in his dreams.
Then he went to the bedroom and switched the light on.
But just as he looked in the bedroom clearly, his body stiffened.
There is a box on his bed.
He was sure that he never bought a black box, let alone put it on his bed.
This box...was a blind box!
Chen Lu felt anxious, opened the cabinets, and moved to the living room,
Chen Lu put his phone back in his pocket.
“Sir, I’m not going to Security Road anymore.”
“What? Then where are you going?”
Chen Lu looked at the black box beside him, and his eyes shone sharply.
“Let’s go to the airport.”
You have to hold your life in your own hands.
