The surface of the reservoir lake, which was originally relatively calm, suddenly set off waves several meters high, crashing horizontally towards the shore.

Stack Raiders digitized his body in time and crossed the lake.

Li Sheng grabbed Jingzhe Xia Zhi by the back collar, pulled her back quickly, and jumped onto a tree on the other side of the mountain road, narrowly avoiding the current.

Wow——

I saw the waves of the lake undulating, and Noriko Fujita's body floated to the surface, surrounded by a huge amount of black water.

The black water slowly condensed into substance and gathered into a several-story-high, shapeless object, wrapping Noriko Fujita's body in it.

The surface of Stack Raider's glasses flashed green light rapidly, and he used the detection skills inherited from the Whale Song Guild to scan the information on the thing.

[Target name: Resentment of the Death Curse]

[Attack power: unknown]

[Defense; unknown]

[Weakness: Body]

[Suggested response strategy: Use powerful weapons to break down its surface defenses and then kill the main body]

This thing is the Grudge of the Death Curse. The Stack Raiders' hearts tightened, and he informed his teammates of this information. He took out the rocket launcher from the backpack column and fired the rocket towards the black water.

boom!

The violent explosion caused by the high-explosive charge directly removed a large piece of black water, but it was quickly replaced by a steady stream of black water.

This blow seemed to have completely angered the resentment of the Death Curse. It turned into a giant palm and slapped the shore hard.

The road itself, roadside guardrails, and the large forest where Li Sheng and Jingzhe Summer Solstice were located were all swept into the lake.

The destructive power is comparable to that of a landslide.

Li Sheng fell into the water, and his vision was blocked by the dark current. All he heard in his ears was the sound of gurgling water. There was something unknown under the water, trying to pull him down.

Zheng!

He popped out the mantis arm bone blade in the water, attached it to the talisman, and slashed at his feet. After cutting off all the pale arms, he swam out of the water and took a big breath of fresh air.

I saw that the Stack Raiders had finished their body digitization skills that consumed a lot of money, and were driving the car that the few people came in with one hand, speeding along the road beside the reservoir, and laboriously reloading the rocket launcher with the other hand. Continue to attract the attention of the Grudge of the Death Curse.

Jingzhe Xia Zhi was lying on the trunk of a tree, her face was pale, and she was spitting out black water. She was holding on to the remote control in her hand, controlling the underwater robot to float to the surface.

"Move the robot forward!"

Li Sheng shouted loudly, turned over and jumped onto a tree trunk. He jumped up and down among the rolling logs floating on the water, and rushed towards the resentment of the death curse.

When he was about to fall into the water, he happened to step on the top cover of the underwater robot. He reached out to fish it out and took the valuable [Relic Ash Bomb]. He clenched his fist with his other hand and released the [Mist Hidden Technique]. 】.

call--

The thick fog centered on him and spread rapidly in all directions.

Since Li Sheng didn't have any skills that required spiritual power, he directly turned on the power of the fog concealment technique to the maximum, driving the thick fog to cover a small half of the lake.

The Resentment of the Death Curse sprays dozens of black torrents, but the effect of the Mist Hidden Technique is to simultaneously weaken the caster's voice, heat reflection and even the sense of presence.

Under the cover of mist, Blackwater was unable to accurately target the tiny figure.

Sudden——

Li Sheng's figure emerged from the fog, pulled out the ring of the ash bomb with both hands, silently counted three two one, and threw the bomb heavily into the black water.

boom!

The violent explosion dispersed the dense fog. When the fog cleared, the black water polymer was blown up in half. Noriko Fujita's body in the center was also blown to pieces. An arm covered with hideous scars was floating in the water.

Was it successful?

Stack Raiders slowed down the car and looked nervously at the black water. The scanned information on the mirror of his glasses was gradually fading.

Boom!

Suddenly there was rolling thunder in the sky, followed by a heavy downpour that came to the world without any warning.

The heavy rain is ahead of schedule! The stack warrior's eyes were splitting as he watched the pouring rain falling on the surface of the Grudge of the Death Curse.

The black water, which was already on the verge of dissipating, trembled and throbbed. It slowly adjusted its posture, raised Fujita Noriko's body upright, and looked at the three players with godless eyes.

"I***"

Stack Ranger cursed the local weather bureau ten thousand times in his mind, turned the steering wheel hard, and made the vehicle drift, preparing to take his companions with him and evacuate from the mountain.

but.

Heavy rain fell, moisture filled the air, and black shadows appeared inexplicably on the mountain road.

There are the Fujita family mistress who was beheaded, the Suzuki couple who were drowned, the undertaker whose whereabouts are unknown, the police forensic doctor who died just yesterday, and even some deceased persons unknown to the outside world.

All the resentful spirits affected by the resentment of the death curse collectively blocked their way.

"It's true, a hundred ghosts are walking in the night."

Veins popped up on the stack's forehead. Jingzhe Xia Zhi, who was still lying on the rolling log, took a deep breath and thought hard, "Something's wrong. This mission shouldn't be so difficult. There's something we missed."

"mission target!"

Li Sheng's voice came from the lake. He was stepping on the underwater robot, half floating on the water, and the thought palace in his mind collected, sorted, and summarized all the clues collected during this mission.

The answer was extremely clear, and he shouted: "Making sure that at least one person survives does not mean that everyone must survive!"

These words resounded through Jingzhe Xia Zhi's mind like thunder. She stared at the black water and instantly understood what Li Sheng meant. She pressed the call button on the Bluetooth headset and shouted to Little Red Riding Hood in the hospital: "Kill Ishikawa Kenichi." ! He is the connection point!"

The body of Noriko Fujita in the Black Water Center had large scars on it, which were obviously there when she was alive. In the photos found in Shuijing City Elementary School, she always wore long-sleeved long skirts to cover those scars.

Considering her gloomy and withdrawn personality, and her incontinence at sports games, it is likely that she suffered from domestic violence for a long time.

After the massacre, the police found the bodies of the male owner Fujita Takehiko and the female owner Fujita Yui, but never found the body of Noriko Fujita - now it is known that her body is in the Shuijing City Reservoir.

Twenty-five years ago, the old police station in Shuijing City and Ishikawa Kenichi's hometown were built next to the reservoir.

In this way, the clues are connected. On the night of the tragedy, Fujita Takehiko killed his wife for some reason, and then wanted to kill his daughter.

Noriko Fujita escaped from her home in Sanchome and ran to the back mountain, either wanting to go to the police station to report the incident or to ask for help from her only friend Ishikawa Ken's family, but unfortunately she was still caught up and killed by Fujita Takehiko, and her body was abandoned in the reservoir.

Strong resentment gave birth to the Death Curse, which caused a series of tragedies 25 years ago. Then it naturally dissipated due to the passage of time.

A month ago, the Death Curse was revived for some reason - it is very likely that Kenichi Ishikawa returned to his hometown, or paid tribute to Noriko Fujita, and reactivated the curse.

Then Ishikawa read the news and realized that something was wrong. He brought a gasoline barrel and a lighter to the Fujita residence. He originally tried to burn down the house, but realized something in the process. He turned around and tried to set himself on fire and kill himself, but was saved by the Death Curse and trapped in the black water.

Not only because he is Noriko Fujita's only friend, but also because he is the connection point between the Death Curse and the world.

"Kill. Connection point."

In the hospital ward, Little Red Riding Hood's Bluetooth headset was noisy and could not hear clearly.

Who did she kill?

She shouted loudly, but the other end of the headset was completely disconnected.

Wait, connection point? Meaning, there is a connection point for the Death Curse in the hospital?

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes trembled, and she opened the task log on the player panel, where the task objectives were clearly written.

[Task Objective: Find Suzuki Kazuya, Suzuki Yuko, Sakai Yoshimi, and Ishikawa Kenichi in Shuijing City, a total of four people. Within 24 hours, at least one person must survive. During this period, you must not leave Shuijing City.]

This sentence is both a hint and a trap.

According to normal logic, the killing field requires players to protect every target person as much as possible, but if you change the angle, the task target is among these four people?

Then the key to clearing the task is not to protect, but to distinguish the real target from these four people and kill them.
