Chapter 3: - Signing in "The Grudge"

Chen Lu frantically clicked the button to go downstairs, but luckily the elevator doors opened before Wang Gang could chase him out.

Chen Lu was very confused, he heard Wang Gang’s curse before he left, making him think that something bad would happen.

Chen Lu continuously pressed the door closed four or five times, the elevator finally began to run, unimpeded to the first floor, then the elevator door opened, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no ghost in the elevator.

He quickly stepped out of the elevator, but his pupils shrank, and he saw an odd black box placed at the door of the elevator.

It was obviously one of those “blind boxes”.

Chen Lu guessed that everything that happened in Wang Gang’s house was related to the “blind box” stacked in the room, but Chen Lu didn’t want to solve the case now, but to escape.

So Chen Lu bypassed the blind box, and solved the ghost problem and left it to professionals.

Chen Lu ran out of the residential building, but the sight of the district let Chen Lu sucked in a breath of cold air.

Three or four blind box vending machines were located around the community, which was exactly the same as Wang Gang’s home, and not only that, blind black boxes are placed everywhere in the community, and many blind boxes have been half-opened, exuding black air.

With the help of Bull’s Eye Tear perfume, Chen Lu can see all this, but did not stop it.

He even busy out of the community, even the gatekeeper called him, he didn’t even hear it.

“This kid, why are you walking so fast…”

The security guard looked at how fast Chen Lu was running and also muttered and spat.

“Forget it, let’s just see what good things can be opened in the blind box…”

The security guard held the “One Yuan Blind Box” just promoted, and his eyes were bright.

……..

…….

“At last, I am in home…”

Chen Lu hurriedly rushed to the shower room, nothing could soothe one’s exhaustion like a comfortable hot shower.

As Chen Lu showered, the hot air spread through the toilet stall, his tense nerves finally soothed and he let out a long sigh of relief.

“By the way…. Is the sign-in system updated?”

He remembered that he had become an official player and was still updating his data, so he should have updated it by now.

Chen Lu turned the hot water down a bit, and directly picked up the phone beside him and opened the applet.

Chen Lu was right, the system had been updated, and with his third check-in, he had become an official player.

【You have become an official player and are in the process of confirming the location of your first official check-in.]

【Confirmation is complete, please go to the Haunted Mansion of Kayako, near Tokyo, Japan to sign in before tomorrow. 】

“This location is…. What the hell?”

“Are you kidding? I want to fly to Japan to sign in at Kayako’s Haunted House?”

Chen Lu was dumbfounded, and then rolled his eyes straight up and tossed the phone lock screen aside.

Is this little program crazy? Kayako’s haunted house is clearly a scene from the movie “The Grudge”. How did he travel into the movie?

Chen Lu complained about programmers’ unreliable ideas, but in the bottom of his heart, he was not completely disbelief.

Then again, it seemed as if this little program was already quite outrageous.

Chen Lu threw out a punch in the air, his fist wind was as astonishing as a fierce tiger pouncing on food.

This stunning tiger fighting technique was however transmitted directly to his head.

“Could it be possible that this small program can really let me go through the grudge?”

Chen Lu clenched his fists and his arms were full of strength. He liked the feeling very much, but hesitated again in his eyes, and soon shook his head again.

“Forget it, Wang Gang’s sign-in is already infiltrating enough. I really crossed into the grievance. Will there be a chance to survive?”

“It’s better to be an honest person.”

Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief, although there was some reluctance inside, it was still important to be safe.

Then Chen Lu thought about Wang Gang’s house.

“By the way, what’s going on with that blind box?”

Chen Lu frowned again, the thoughts swirling in his head causing him to wash his head once more.

It was Chen Lu’s first time seeing a ghost, but not the first time he had heard of one.

As early as 20 years ago, the official convenience has emphasized the emergence of “unnatural forces” in the world, and that the chances of unnatural events were extremely low, but the authorities took it very seriously, and had set up a special “Abnormal Event Investigation Team” to solve unnatural events.

By the way……. What’s the phone number for reporting a crime? We’ll have to look into it later and get that information on Wang Gang’s house up there.

“Hmm…. So comfortable.”

Chen Lu turned off the hot water and stretched, then pulled out a towel to wrap his body and walked out of the shower room.

I’m a little tired today, I’d better go to bed early….

Chen Lu headed to the bedroom, his extreme exhaustion made him want to just lie down on the soft bed and swim in his dreams.

So he walked towards the bedroom and turned on the light.

But right after he saw the bedroom clearly, his body stiffened.

On his bed, there was a box.

He promised that he had never bought a black box, let alone put him on the bed.

This box…. It was clearly a blind box!

Chen Lu looked nervous, opened the cabinet, walked to the living room, looking for all the places where people can hide.

There was no one.

The door wasn’t open and the windows were closed.

No one could enter the room.

Chen Lu vaguely recalled Wang Gang’s words from the beginning.

Do you think you can escape?

“So I’m cursed by this…”

Cursed.

Chen Lu gulped, he was only stunned for a moment before he quickly came back to his senses and rushed out of the room with his clothes on.

His eyes gradually changed from panic to composure, and his emotions changed from fear to calm.

Perhaps he didn’t even realize that he was better at dealing with emotions than he thought he was.

“Be calm now, the box hasn’t been opened yet, the curse hasn’t erupted yet, definitely don’t scare yourself, no matter what, stay away from the black box first.”

He had never thought about approaching the black box stupidly, throwing him away or destroying it, not to mention that these two actions may directly open the black box, just because the black box could appear in his room for no reason, it wasn’t something that could be thrown away so easily.

Chen Lu got dressed, picked up the suitcase, then turned on the phone and dialed the number for reporting the crime.

His eyes were filled with coldness, and since he had been targeted, he must not sit idly by.

“Hello, this is the phone number of the abnormal incident investigation team. If you encounter a supernatural incident, please press one. If you are afraid of falling asleep at night, press two. If you feel scary around watching ghost movies, press three.”

“I “I hit a ghost.”

Chen Lu had a cold and terrifying tone, using the most concise sentences to describe all the process of his encounter.

“When I went to Wang Gang’s house, there were blind boxes in the community and blind boxes in the house.”

One by one weird things made the voice of the hippie smile on the phone be more cautious.

“Okay, we’ll get someone to confirm what you said, so for your safety, please come to the guest house at 203 Security Road and stay there for a while.”

“Okay.”

Chen Lu hung up the phone and with a wave of his hand, a taxi stopped.

“Master, go to Security Road 203.”

The taxi drove fast, but the closer we got to our destination, Chen Lu became more panic.

It was reasonable to say that the professionals would definitely be able to protect him, there was no need to panic so much, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner ups and downs.

“Ding dong.”

Chen Lu’s phone sent a new message from the gadget.

According to professional statistics, the survival rate of people who report unnatural events is less than 4.7% (a significant reduction according to the degree of the outbreak), and more than half of them were killed by a stern spirit while under professional protection, while 44% of them were killed by a stern spirit on the way.

Chen Lu’s eyes were cold.

Playing devil’s advocate.

Chen Lu looked out the window of his car, watching the city lights recede continuously, his mind in a trance.

The old driver of the taxi looked into the rear-view mirror of the car and smiled hehehe.

“Young man, you’re quite trendy.”

“Huh?” Chen Lu was stunned, “Brother, why do you say that?”

“Harm! Isn’t that a blind box next to you? My son likes to play with it too, but it costs money and it’s always coming out with puppet some stuff.”

“Blind boxes?” Chen Lu muttered, “Where?”

“Are you confused, young man? Isn’t that little black box right next door to you?”

Chen Lu looked to the seat beside him, where there was a blind box on the originally empty seat.

What’s more, the black box had opened a crack, and even though there was only a crack, it allowed Chen Lu to smell danger.

Chen Lu recalled Wang Gang’s words again.

“Do you think you can run away?”

“Ding-dong.”

[Ligui Encyclopedia: the development of unnatural events is divided into incubation period, outbreak period, stable period, and advanced period. Li ghosts often make qualitative leaps according to the changes of the period. 】

Chen Lu pocketed his phone back into his pocket.

“Master, I’m not going to Security Road.”

“What? Then where are you going?”

Chen Lu looked at the black box beside him and his eyes flashed sternly.

“Go to the airport.”

Life still had to be clutched in his hands.
