"It's the fifth wave. Everyone stop attacking, just don't attack. Leave the first round to me!" Zheng shouted to everyone. He even repeated it to Zero and Yinkong through the communication device to make sure they heard it.

The shoji gradually opened up. Behind them were indeed a man and a woman having a quarrel. The scene in front of them was exactly the same as the one Xuan saw. Kayako's body was dismembered, and that man started walking toward Zheng while holding a knife… No! Even Kayako's body was crawling toward Zheng in twisted motions.

(Really no sense of danger, as if there was nothing around me… Come on, unlock the constraint again. Hope my body can still take it!)

Zheng's eyes became sharp. He experienced the sensations from unlocking the second stage again. His muscles and bones convulsed violently, but this pain quickly went away. The other people saw him spit out several gulps of blood then sprinted toward the ghosts.

"Wind… wind spirit!" Lan's expression changed. She took out a little glass sphere and yelled.

Zheng suddenly felt his body became lighter as he was running. His speed increased by about 30%. He had already reached the man by this time. That man raised his knife and slashed at Zheng. He felt a sense of danger the moment that knife was about to touch his chest and jumped sideways without any hesitation. Then he struck the man's head with his left hand while activating the ring's energy field. The man's whole upper body was crushed instantly.

"Great!" Jie and the other people yelled excitedly after the man's upper body was crushed.

Zheng also felt relieved. Even though he didn't know why his speed suddenly increased, but it allowed him to evade the man's attack. The other ghost would be much easier to deal with now that he killed one.

Yet before he had the chance to turn to Kayako, fog began to gather around the man's upper body. A few seconds later, it recovered without any damage. At the same time, Kayako had crawled next to Zheng.

(What's wrong? Why wasn't the attack ineffective? What's wrong with Xuan's hint?)

Zheng immediately jumped backwards and dodged the two ghosts' attacks. Now he was presented with another problem, and that was the end of Xuan's hints. He didn't' know what will happen in the sixth wave. He didn't even know how to survive this fifth wave.

Zheng tried to approach Kayako, and sensed the same danger when she was about to touch him. He dodged to the side and sprayed at her with the submachine gun. Just like before, she was dispersed but quickly recovered.

(What should I do? What should I do now? Attacks are only effective the moment they attack, and it seems like I have to kill both of them at the same time, otherwise they will recover… What should I do? What… will Xuan do in this situation? If it's him…)

Jie and the other two people saw Zheng suddenly stopped. He gave them a feeling of calmness or perhaps, apathy. He held out his right arm right in the center of the two ghosts.

The two ghosts closed in on him. Zheng stepped forward the moment that knife and Kayako were going to touch his arm. He focused Qi on his left arm and punched through the man's waist and into Kayako's head. All of that happened in an instant. As Zheng went through their bodies, both his right arm and the two ghosts disappeared.

"Uh… so bloated, I still prefer to eat… uh? Like to eat what?"

Zheng's expression changed. He exited from his simulation of Xuan. Jie and the others ran over to him with surprise. Especially Lan, she jumped into his chest.

Jie patted his shoulder and said. "Bravo, that made our hearts clenched. When did you become so strong? You even sacrificed your whole right arm, you're not scared huh?"

Zheng smiled bitterly and turned to Lan. "Lan, what was that wind spirit? Why did I feel like my speed increased a lot?"

Lan got away from him coyly then smiled. "It's the enhancement path I am taking. I am going for enhancements in magic. But almost all enhancements from this category require ranked rewards so I only exchanged an acceleration magic for now. Surely you don't expect a girl to run around with a gun right?"

Zheng suddenly sensed the same danger again. Though this sensation was not as strong as it was previously. It almost felt a little too faint. He was confused by the sensation. This didn't seem like an attack from inside like Xuan had said. If it was, the sense of danger should be much stronger than it currently was.

"Everyone be careful, something's not right. Do any of you feel… Lan? Lan!"

Zheng was about to warn them to beware of their body then he suddenly saw Lan's face turned pale. Blood gushed out of her nose and mouth along with some fragmented pieces of internal organs…

"Lan! Trust me! None of us will die!"

Zheng shouted as he pulled Lan toward him. Then he focused all his Qi on his left hand and struck at her stomach…

The power of this punch could easily go through Lan's body, but Zheng had extremely fine control over his strength in the unlocked mode. His fist barely hit the skin of Lan's stomach. The real attack was the force field generated from the Na ring.

With a boom, they felt as if something had disappeared after the fist hit her. Lan relaxed her forehead then fell backward. Zheng got a hold of her with his left hand. Her eyes were still closed and her face was pale. Dark blood was gushing out of her nose and mouth.

"Jie! Keep an eye on the surroundings please."

Zheng shouted then he placed Lan on the ground and stripped her clothes. To the other two men's shock, he slashed open Lan's stomach.

It immediately bursted out a lot of dark blood along with some fragmented pieces of flesh and internal organs. Zheng took a careful look inside it and saw that a large part of her intestines were cut off, and some other organs were also attacked. There was massive bleeding going on.

Zheng couldn't help the other organs but he took out the hemostasis spray and stopped the bleeding on her intestines then wrapped her up around the waist with bandage. It wasn't until all this was done did her face reagined some color. But her breathing was still very weak, as if it was going to stop at any moment.

Zheng took a deep breath and stood up. Before he got to say anything, he saw the whole place was surrounded by normal people. They saw the whole process when Zheng slashed open Lan's stomach and were standing there in terror and shock. Jie and Tengyi were looking at these people in confusion.

"What happened? Why is there suddenly so many people?" Zheng asked Jie.

Jie answered in confusion. "I don't know. Some normal people suddenly appeared then there was more and more. There are so many now just like when it was at ten normally… Did we eliminated the Ju On's main body?"

Zheng placed Lan on the ground carefully. He was confused also. "It can't be. I haven't received any rewards… wait, do you hear anything?"

"Hear what?"

Jie and Tengyi listened carefully, but aside from the noise from the crowd, there was no other sound. As they were about to ask Zheng, they suddenly heard the kakaka sound coming from the crowd. This sound was getting louder and louder then a huge pale woman stood up from the center of the crowd.

"Ah!" Tengyi yelled from the scene. Zheng and Jie immediately fired at the woman.

It seemed like the crowd didn't notice the woman. They started panicking when Zheng and Jie pointed the guns at them, and anyone that touched the huge woman fell to the ground unconscious. Yet the normal people couldn't seemed to be able to see her. As more and more people fell to the ground, the crowd was getting into a chaos.

That huge woman was over ten meters tall. She started crawling toward Zheng's group swiftly. As she was getting closer and closer, suddenly a bullet shot through her head from above with a loud bang. The bullet crushed her head and even several normal people on the way then went into the ground. Those normal people died instantly.

Zheng clenched his teeth. "Attack! Ignore the normal people. She's still growing. It seems like she can absorb the souls of the people she killed. Attack! It's better if we can also scare these people away!" Then he pulled the trigger on the submachine gun.

Jie and Tengyi also started firing their guns. Yet, this huge ghost kept recovering the damage by gathering up like fog. Only the first shot from the Gauss sniping rifle delt huge damage to her. The magical bullets from the submachine guns barely had any effect. She quickly recovered then started crawling at them again.

Yet another loud bang. The sniper shot crushed her whole leg this time. She was only seven meters away from the four of them.

"Tengyi! Carry Lan and run away! Run as far as you can and don't attack her! Jie, drive away all the normal people… or kill them! If the police come, do you best to hold them off… It's 11pm. Just one more hour, just one more hour and we can go back to God's dimension! Don't die!"

Zheng quickly assigned everyone's responsibilities then he sprinted toward the ghost. He raised his left hand and struck the ghost's other leg when her mobility was still impaired. The Na ring was such an amazing counter to spiritual beings. His punch dispersed the ghost's leg immediately. It was so much more powerful than magical bullets.

Then he sprayed the ghost's body with the gun as he ran around her. The ghost tried to catch him with her arms but those movements seemed so slow in Zheng's eyes. He just had to be careful and not get caught, the ghost couldn't do anything to him.

Another loud bang, the sniper shot struck again and crushed the ghost's head. Zheng made use of the opportunity and dispersed the ghost's left arm completely. She seemed to be unable to attack anymore. They just had to hang in there a little longer, there was even a possibility to eliminate the ghost.

(We can win! We can definitely win… uh?)

As Zheng was about to use another attack with the ring. A pale hand suddenly extended out from his back, and at the same time the woman's head extended out from his shoulder. His whole body was already unable to move by the time he sensed the danger. All his stamina and Qi was absorbed by that hand… His body was gradually turning pale. His gun fell off his hand to the ground.

Vol 4: Chapter 4-1.

Zheng's strength was gradually disappearing. His eyelids felt heavier and heavier. Hopelessness started to fill his heart.

Strength, Qi, and stamina were all disappearing, he event felt that his life energy was disappearing. His consciousness was fading away for every second that passed. It wasn't until now that he got a clearer look of the woman. Her body was made out of numerous faces in pain. The faces of those that were killed by her.

Zheng's vision was going out of focus. He felt as if his spirit was being pulled out of his body by that pale hand. His sense of danger had reached an extreme, as if he was going to die in the next second. Suddenly he felt he heard a boom. A stream of hot energy gushed out from his head then repelled the pale hand. This energy had corrosive properties and also lit the hand on fire. The ghost on Zheng's back was shortly burned into nothingness.

Yet that energy not only burned the ghost, it circulated into every part of Zheng's body. Zheng could feel the burning just like being scalded by boiling water. That pain was as intense as when he unlocked his constraint. Even though he shut off the pain signals in his body, he still shouted out in pain.

The blood energy! Unlike how he used the blood energy instinctively in the last movie, this energy was now totally released from his head and filled his whole body. Zheng's eyes were bloody red. The world from his eyes was painted with blood. And the ghost became a light green color weaved from numerous twisted human bodies.

That huge woman was actually created from numerous ghosts. Zheng could make out several familiar faces, the red faced man from the beginning of this movie, and even Bingyi was in there. In other words anyone that was killed by the Ju On became part of it. It absorbed all their hatred. Looking through these ghosts, Zheng saw a woman with a twisted face in the center of the body that looked just like a mini version of the huge ghost. That was the main body of Kayako!

Zheng was still out of strength. He rolled away on the ground then took out the communication device.

"Zero, can you see the chest of the ghost? Kayako's main body is around that location… Zero?" Zheng muttered in a faint voice.

"… Zero was attacked from his back. I only managed to save him but he's out of strength now… You have to wait ten minutes for him to recover enough strength to snipe." Yinkong's voice came through the device.

Zheng fell into a silence. He and Zero did the most damage to the ghost so both of them were attacked. As the ghost was gradually recovering, they were trapped in a dire situation. He couldn't find a way to kill it… Were this the end of their lives? Getting wiped when there was only less than an hour left?

(No, I don't want to die, I will live!)

"Yinkong, protect Zero. I'll leave him to you. I will hold the ghost for ten minutes… Then I'll leave my life to you two!"

Zheng struggled to get up from the ground. His stamina and Qi were almost empty and the blood energy didn't have the property to enhance his stamina like Qi. It only increased his recovery rate. Zheng ran to the submachine gun on the ground. The ghost had recovered her upper body by this time and her legs were about to be completed.

Zheng's speed was much slower than before. The ghost swiped at him with that huge hand as he picked up the gun. He didn't have any time to think and forced out his blood energy while he rolled away. His upper body nearly dodged the pale hand but it still grazed his shoulder.

Fortunately the blood energy easily corroded the area of the hand that touched him. Then the energy spread to the rest of the hand and burned it away. Of course Zheng also felt that the energy in his body gradually lessened.

Zheng too a deep breath then turned around and ran. But he laughed in bitterness after only a few steps.

All the normal people had ran away from the park. Jie and Tengyi was guarding on the edge. While there were sirens coming from far away, the cops hadn't reached this place yet. Yet the ghosts of Kayako began appearing on the edge of the park. Their number was getting higher and higher until the whole park was filled with ghosts. There were at least several hundred if not more. And the huge ghost behind him was almost done recovering and about to start crawling. He was out of strength, stamina, and Qi.

"Are we really… really going to die? No, I will live no matter what!"

Zheng shouted in desperation. He gathered his last bit of strength and ran toward a large clock in the center of the park… It was about ten meters tall, right at the height of the huge ghost's chest.

Zheng was out of strength. If it wasn't for the acceleration buff on him, he would be running at a jogging pace. It was then that he realized how important that buff was. This buff increased his speed by a constant rate instead of a percentage. It wasn't too obvious when he was running at normal speed, but now that he was weakened, it showed its importance.

Zheng finally reached the clock tower before the ghosts got to him. He sliced open the door and then ran inside the tower.

The huge ghost had completely recovered by now. She stood up from the ground and began moving toward the tower slowly. Zheng was panting heavily and realized the air around him was getting cold. The world through his eyes was bloody red due to the blood energy circulating inside his body. He could also make out several green and white shadows on the top of the tower. His senses told him that the little ghosts were waiting there.

Since he didn't have the Qi to activate the ring's force field anymore, he put the knife back into the ring and took out his submachine gun. However, he didn't have the time to change the magazine on the gun at this time. He only had half a magazine of bullets to help him reach the top… The blood energy was his last hope. He wouldn't want to waste it unless he was forced to.

"Ah!"

Zheng cried in desperation as he pulled the trigger against the ghosts crawling down from the top…

On another building far away from the top, Zero was lying on the roof in exhaustion. The Gauss sniping rifle was right in front of him, yet there was no one that could use it. Yinkong was standing next to Zero waving her hands against the ghosts crawling toward them.

She wasn't skilled with firearms but being able to unlock her genetic constraint and the trainings as an assassin enabled her to fight in close range as good as Zheng. She took out the gunpowder from the bullets then wore the shells on her fingers. This enabled her to kill the ghosts with her hands.

The two of them were being surrounded as numerous ghosts crawled in from all sides. If it wasn't for Yinkong's attacks in the unlocked mode, they would had drowned in a sea of ghosts.

"How's it? How much have you recovered? Enough to take aim?" She asked urgently without turning her head.

Zero struggled to sit up from the floor and muttered. "No, my vision is blurry. I am falling asleep. I can't snipe under this condition… Give me one or two more minutes…"

Yinkong paused for a moment but when she started moving her hands again, her movements were not as smooth as before…

Jie and Tengyi weren't that much better off than the other two parties. They were the first ones to encounter the ghosts since they were at the edge of the park. Fortunately Jie reacted in time and opened fire at them immediately. Then Tengyi also started shooting in a spin with his pistol.

"Are we going to die? Jie, are we going to die?" Tengyi spurred out the words in panic as he shot.

Jie suddenly turned around and punched him, knocking him to the ground. He shouted. "F*ck you! Aren't we still alive? If you want to die then run into them! Don't talk next to me!" Then he turned to the ghosts again.

Tengyi was dazed for a moment and then also started shooting again. He said to Jie who was on his back. "Jie, if I make it out alive, I will pay you back this punch. F*ck… my teeth are falling out."

Jie laughed then said. "If we can live… if we can all live, I don't give a f*ck for a punch…"

"Zheng… our lives are all on your hands. Don't fail!"

Zheng didn't know how many more stairs were ahead of him, nor how many more ghosts were at the top. He couldn't turn back anymore. The stairs behind him were also filled with ghosts. He could only continue going up until he broke away from this nightmare… If he didn't want to die, then he has to reach the top!

Zheng kept running up the stairs as he sprayed at the ghosts. His legs couldn't handle the running anymore, if it wasn't the last bit of will power holding him up, he probably wouldn't be able to raise his feet. It had already been a long time since he went into unlocked mode. This was the longest duration since he got this ability. Just like in Alien, his genetics were on the edge of breaking down… He had no way to go back now!

He finally reached the top before the gun ran out of ammunition. He kicked open the metal door leading to the rooftop as he emptied the remaining bullets. The huge ghost was looking right at him behind the door and her hand was reaching for him.

"Ah! Go to hell!"

Zheng activated all his blood energy and sprinted out onto the roof and into the ghost's chest… where Kayako's main body was at…

—

In the chest of the huge ghost was a middle aged woman (not Kayako)with a twisted face and body. She screeched as Zheng touched her then dispersed into thin air.

After the first ghost was gone, the others started crowding up on him. Though the blood energy was powerful enough to kill them with just a touch, the amount of energy was draining so fast. It was already at 60 percent after only a few seconds.

Jie and the others saw that the ghosts emitted a green light when Zheng touched them. This was the light they gave off when they were dispersed but the intensity of this light was slowly dying off. Which signified the amount of blood energy still remaining. At the same time, he had corroded a hole in the chest.

"… Zheng! Is it you in the ghost's chest?"

Zheng was concentrating intensely then he suddenly heard Yinkong's voice through the device. He shouted in reply. "It's me… If I die, then run as far as you can. The time is almost up. Ok, don't talk to me. I don't have the attention to spare!"

"… Why did you jump in there? Did you… find out the Ju On's weak point?" Yinkong said calmly.

"I… shit, yes! I found its weak point! Kayako's main body is probably in the center of the chest! Don't talk to me, I can't get distracted!" Veins were surfacing on his forehead as he shouted.

"Zheng… I am Zero. I don't know if I can lock onto the target, but it's worth a try. I only have enough stamina to make one shot… It's too bright around you, when the light dims down more, give me a signal!"

Zheng fell into a silence. He didn't know how to respond because the light meant that he still had the energy to corrode the ghosts. Once this light disappeared, he would be overwhelmed by the numerous ghosts.

"Zero… you only have one chance. When the light disappears, shoot through my left shoulder. That's where the main body is!"

"… Ok!"

Once it was decided, Zheng didn't try to preserve his energy anymore. He moved forward as best as he can and corroded all the ghosts on the way. Within a few seconds he was approaching the Ju On's main body.

"Chu… Chu Xuan!"

Suddenly, he stopped upon seeing one of the ghosts. Unlike the others, this ghost didn't have the twisted face and body. He just looked like a normal person. If it wasn't the pale green skin, he would had looked identical to the real person.

Zheng didn't corrode Xuan immediately. He had a sense of respect for this man. And strangely, Xuan didn't jump at him like the other ghosts. Instead, he walked around Zheng and blocked several ghosts behind him. He even felt as if Xuan nodded at him as he went past Zheng…

"Was that an illusion? Or… Xuan! I am going to avenge you!"

That was the last ghost in front of him. The only one left was a human sized Kayako. Zheng channeled all the energy to his left hand and struck him. As the blood energy invaded her body, she showed an expression of pain for the first time. She twisted her body trying to evade his fist but Zheng ignored the ghosts coming at him from the back and just continued channeling the energy into Kayako. She slowly became smaller and smaller as the energy corroded her from inside…

When the first ghost reached Zheng in the back, he had already spent every last bit of energy. The ghost started absorbing his life force but Kayako's size had also reduced to one fifth already. Just one last attack… to eliminate her!

"Zero! Now!"

With a loud bang, Zheng felt a force enter from his left shoulder and started moving toward his hand. Then the bullet exited his palm and struck Kayako, eliminating her. The huge force crushed his arm completely and also opened a large hole in the huge ghost's chest.

Zheng then heard a woman wailing faintly, and was shortly joined by the wails of numerous men and women. The ghosts that created the huge woman gradually disappeared and Zheng started falling from midair. A pair of strong arms caught him before he reached the ground.

"… We made it… Zheng, we… uh? I also received a reward…"

Zheng felt that he heard the voice of his comrades. In this moment… he felt he was standing on the same height as Xuan… Perhaps his comrades will sometimes become a burden, or a relentless leader can save the majority of the group. But supporting and depending on each other, entrusting his life to the hands of his comrades… was the team that he hoped for!

By the time he woke up, he was inside a beam of light. His whole body was itching and in pain. But he was also getting invigorated along with the pain.

He turned his head to look down. A little girl was staring at him. Her eyes were filled with tears but under those tears was a smile.

Vol 4: Chapter 5-1.

After a wave of repairs, all six of them in the platform sighed with mixed emotions. The last hour of fighting was a roller coaster ride between life and death. The type that gave them a glimpse of hope while pushing them into hopelessness. The experience was worse than it was in Alien. Fortunately they made it back to God's dimension alive.

Lan ran into Zheng's arms on the first opportunity, disregarding everyone else there, even Lori who was also running toward Zheng. She cried out loud inside his arms. Jie immediately went over to them while laughing and hugged both of them, which made Lori feel better.

"Haha, no matter what happened, we are at least alive…" Jie laughed out loud.

It wasn't until now that Lan let go of Zheng slightly blushing. She stood to the side and gave the spot to Lori.

Lori jumped into Zheng's arms and kissed him as if it was a revenge and declaring her property. Which made Zheng looked around in embarrassment.

"… How many points did you get? We all received different amount of points." Zero suddenly said.

Zheng immediately closed his eyes to get in contact with God. The amount of points he had shocked him, a total of 4177. He killed a newbie in the movie and that deducted 1000 points, but completing a movie rewarded 1000 also, so that evened out. Then he still received 4100 points and even two rank C rewards. That confused him quite a bit.

Zero said calmly. "I received God's notification while I was still in the movie. It told me I eliminated a part of Ju On and was rewarded 2300 points, and a rank C reward."

Jie also said. "I got 1800 points and two rank D rewards."

"1500 points and two rank D rewards."

"…"

After going over the rewards, only Tengyi received the least, one rank D reward, even Lan got two rank D rewards. Furthermore, everyone received least a thousand extra points. Even though this movie was dangerous, the rewards were also generous.

"But… wasn't Zero the one that got the final blow? If it wasn't that snipe, we would had all be killed." Zheng asked.

Lan touched her forehead and said. "Perhaps God rewards people depending on their contribution for side quests. Like even though we all attacked the Queen in Alien, but you were the only one to receive a reward. This is probably because killing the Queen is a main quest whereas the main quest in The Grudge is surviving."

The others accepted this explanation. If it wasn't Zheng's attacks in the last wave, they would had all be dead by now. So they were fine with Zheng and Zero receiving a large reward.

Since there were two new people, Jie explained to them how to use the rooms here and arranged a meet up the next day to discuss their enhancements. Then everyone aside from Tengyi went to their room. He stayed behind to create his human.

Zheng and Lori walked back to their room without a word. She said with jealousy. "Stop thinking, the big breast babe has gone back to her room and she's not coming back… You can go over, I think she will allow you into her room…"

Zheng dazed for a bit then forced a smile. "No, that's not what I am thinking… I am just thinking do people still have a conscious after they died? Do they hate those that are alive?"

"There are probably good ghosts. My grandma used to say to me that what goes around comes around… She also told me many stories about ghosts returning a favor."

"Returning… a favor?" Zheng recalled Xuan's ghost. If he didn't block the ghosts behind Zheng, he might not have been able to last until Zero's attack. Was this… returning a favor?

Then… have you really died? Even with that wisdom of yours… Is he really dead?

An intimate night without words. The two fell asleep after exhausting themselves. The next morning they were talking about the days in The Grudge while in bed. Lori kept asking about every details. When it got to a breathtaking part, she would held her hands to her mouth and opened her eyes wide, and when it got to how Zheng almost died, she would sob in a low voice.

"Only another ten days, once ten days is over, you will have to go back into a horror movie… Pervert, you have to come back alive."

Zheng sighed deeply. He didn't know how to respond. He suddenly came up with an idea. "Lori, do you want to go to the beach? Of the most famous beaches in the world, want to go to one in Hawaii? We will take a ten day trip, how's it?"

She was confused for a while, then got excited and rolled around in Zheng's arms. She kept asking things like. "Really? Is that real?"

"Yes, not only us but everyone will come along. Ten days is only… 100 points. We can go take a break there."

Vol 4: Chapter 5-2.

Although Zheng had already decided, he was still rather unease at using the points for luxury. To them, 100 points equals a desert eagle. Even though it didn't need any ranked rewards to return to the previous movie, but 100 points for ten extra days of resting was still wasteful.

Everyone gathered in the platform 10am of the next day. Before they get a chance to say anything, a gold colored stone tablet took all their attention. This stone tablet was floating five meters above the ground and emitted a gold light.

Yinkong was the first to arrive. She was still holding onto that book of hers. "Look at it… there are some interesting information."

When they focused onto the stone tablet, information appeared in their heads just like when they were focusing on God.

"… When a team have three, or used to have three humans that had unlocked their genetic constraints, this message will appear and stay in this dimension."

"… We have all predicted that once a genetic constraint is unlocked to its fifth stage, the final stage of the constraint, the organism will evolve into a higher tier organism. The human world will then advance or wreak havoc at the thought of that organism. In order to prevent the encounter of two or more high tier organisms from multiple teams, which will cause the extinctions of human, we created the following rules…"

"… When a team have three, or used to have three humans that had unlocked their genetic constraints, that team will encounter other teams that belong to God's world from another continent. Killing a member from another team will be rewarded… 2000 points and a rank C reward. Killing a member that had unlocked the genetic constraint will be rewarded 7000 points and a rank B reward. Eliminating the whole team will reward every member a rank C reward."

"… There does not exist cruelty, justice, or evil… Only one team can survive till the end. If you don't want to die then surpass your limits and evolve…"

This message was obviously incomplete. When Zheng recovered from the shock, he looked around at everyone who was in a daze.

Zheng coughed to get their attention. "Lan, analyze the meaning of this message."

Lan touched her forehead and said. "Wait a minute, my head is still in a chaos…"

"This message is probably left by the creators of this world. And because it appears directly in our head, it will use words and language that we understand. Like the genetic constraint was a phrase that Xuan told us…"

"… Secondly, it mentioned an important info, and that is we are not the only ones in God's world. In fact, I was suspicious of this for a while. Don't you notice that everyone who came into this world is Chinese? Even the Russian mercenary from before was in China before he came here. That means there are probably other God's dimensions (central hub) from other continents, and they also have similar teams."

"The last point is the creators don't want two separate teams to return to the real world. It can lead to a war in between the two teams in the real world due to a difference in beliefs, language, and moral values. Such situations are very destructive, like… If Zero has ten times the strength, speed, a unlimited ammunition Gauss sniper rifle, and some other sci fi equipment, he can rival a whole army. Not to mention the blueprints of advanced technologies that Xuan exchanged…"

Zheng said. "You mean we are probably going to encounter a team from another continent in the next movie? And it will either be we all get killed or we kill them all?"

Lan shook her head. "It's not that bad. Since we will be in a movie, then we should still have to follow God's restrictions and finish the missions or wait until time is up. The reason for such high rewards for killing a member of the other team is probably to entice the teams to start a war… I think both teams will be concerned of the other team attacking first and gain an advantage… We will not only have to face the monsters of the movie but also members of the other team… They will want to kill us just like those monsters!"

Everyone fell into a silence. Just surviving through the movies was already so difficult and now that they learned about encountering other teams in the movies. It was either kill or be killed, so the choice was obvious. Then wouldn't the other team think in the same way? Following this reasoning, the war starts the moment they encounters the other team.

Zheng thought for a bit then laughed. "Oh right, it mentioned that we will only encounter other teams after three people unlocked their genetic constraints. Yinkong and I both unlocked ours, someone who died also unlocked theirs. Aside from this, do you think it's easy for people from other teams to unlock their constraints? Maybe our team is one of the strongest team. Haha, so don't worry too much. We will discuss our enhancement paths first."

These words calmed the others but a shadow had already been cast onto their hearts.

Live on… only one team can return alive?

Zheng looked at the tablet and sighed silently.

Since the announcement had been made, they had no choice but to accept reality. Then they began to discuss enhancements.

Due to the amount of points and valuable ranked rewards they earned this time, everyone had the opportunity to exchange stat enhancements or a higher tier weapon. Zero naturally chose to expand in his long distance sniping ability. Along with increasing his stats, he also exchanged a rank C enhancement, Druid Hawk's Eyes.

"What's this enhancement?" The others asked curiously.

"Druid Hawk's Eyes, rated 68/100. Suitable for long distance sniping and movies with large battlefields. Effective against most enemies. No special effects. Enhances vision for action and perception. Requires a rank C reward and 1000 points."

Zheng and the others nodded. Instead of choosing an all rounded enhancement, focusing on what one was best at was better for the team. Of course, choosing this path wouldn't increase an individual's survivability much.

"I have considered carefully. A sniper usually won't be in a dangerous position. And I didn't enhance my sniping ability but rather my vision. It will be useful even in regular combat. No problem." Zero explained calmly.

As to the other assassin, Yinkong, she exchanged her enhancements without a word to the others. After she was done, a dagger in a leather sheath appeared on her hand. She unsheathed the dagger. It was burning with a light blue flame.

"Hellfire Fang! Two rank D rewards and 2000 points. Effective against spiritual beings! Can burn the souls of any organisms… A magical weapon." Then she sheathed the dagger without taking another look at the other people.

Zheng also connected with God. He closed his eyes and began searching for a weapon suitable for him. He also chose magical weapons because fo the difficulties against the ghosts. However, a blood energy spell scroll – Red Flame grabbed his attention in the end. The description of this item was: Instruct the usage of Red Flame, requires the blood energy of a Vampire Viscount. Can burn anything, especially effective against organisms. Requires a rank C reward and 2000 points.

This was probably an enhancement belonging to the skill category. He took a look at top tier enhancements before, and some of them were skills from Wuxia. Like a QingGong that required a rank A reward and a huge amount of points. In comparison this spell was a low tier skill and it just happened to be usable by his current Vampire rank.

Zheng did some calculations. He had 4177 points and two rank C rewards. So even if he exchanged this skill, he would still have enough points for other items, like magical bullets or a better weapon. And this skill was especially effective against spiritual beings, which attracted his attention.

"Blood energy spell scroll – Red Flame!"

Once Zheng exchanged the scroll, the scroll disappeared in a smoke on first contact. Instructions on how to use the spell appeared in his head. An enormous amount of information streamed into his head so suddenly that he felt it was going to burst. It took over a ten seconds to calm down. At the same time he began to organize this information.

"Channel the blood energy out of the body then imagine it becomes a blood colored flame. Control it with your mind…"

Zheng read it in his mind. The blood energy had moved from his head into every part of his body during the last movie. So it was rather easy to manipulate it now. The energy slowly surfaced on outside his body under his control then he imagined it becoming a blood colored flame…

"Ah!"

As the others cried in surprise, Zheng opened his eyes immediately. His skin was covered in a blood colored flame. Although it was not bright, the smell of blood was intense.

Zheng became excited. He loosed his concentration and the fire faded away, and finally absorbed into his body.

Lan was the first to recover from the surprise. He ran over to Zheng and carefully looked at his body. After finding out that there were no injuries, he asked. "Zheng, what happened? Are you… alright?"

Zheng couldn't look at her straight in the eyes. He nodded then turned to the others. "Haha, sorry to worry you guys. I was testing the skill I just exchanged. It seems quite strong, but unfortunately there are no ways to test it here. We will have to wait until the next movie and test it on the monsters."

After everyone recovered from the surprise, Zero and Yinkong were standing on a distance calmly and Jie and Tengyi ran over to him in excitement. They and Lan started asking questions about the skill, and it lessened his embarrassment when facing Lan.

Zheng explained a bit. He emphasized the skill consumes a huge amount of energy. He had spent almost a quarter of his energy just then. Just like Qi, it was a skill that should only be used in crisis.

"Everyone done with enhancements?" Zheng suddenly asked.

Jie was surprised for a bit then laughed. "Not so fast. Ranked rewards are not easy to come by. We have to think about it carefully. Why are you asking this?"

Zheng coughed and appeared a little embarrassed. "I think… ahem, why don't we go take a break in Hawaii? Ten days, ahem, not the one in the real world but the Hawaii in the last movie. It won't take any ranked rewards nor five times the points. It only takes ten points for a day. What do you guys think? Just take a ten day break."

"I refuse!"

"Sure…"

The two girls replied at the same time. Then they looked at each other. The two contrasting answers made Zheng felt even more embarrassed.

"Why refuse?"

"Why agree?"

The two girls asked each other loudly.

Yinkong replied calmly. "No other reason. I need to save my points for enhancements or weapons. I am not stupid enough to use them on luxuries…"

Lan said. "What do you mean luxury? We've been living in constant stress these days, then we come back to this never changing dimension. I am going to go crazy if it continues like this. I think it's worth to exchange ten days of peace with a hundred points! Otherwise why do you think God gave us this option?"

Yinkong answered coldly. "I don't know. Your willpower is too weak. Not to mention there's already ten days of rest in God's dimension. Even without these ten days, even when you have to keep fighting for over a month, fighting just to stay alive, that pain after you unlocked your potential… You don't know anything!"

Lan's face became red. She turned to Zheng and said angrily. "Hey, this is your suggestion, why aren't you saying anything?"

Zheng replied awkwardly. "I didn't really think much. Just that whoever wants to go can go, it's ok to stay here if you don't want to. For one, I activated the blood energy in The Grudge and want some extra time to master it, and two, I need to relax a bit. It helps me recover to my best condition. I don't have any other intentions. It's just a hundred points and ten days. If everyone wants to go, we can go together."

Lan immediately nodded. "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, just that I never got the chance. Since it's only a hundred points, I still have enough after exchanging an Endurance spell…"

Zheng couldn't look straight at Lan. He turned around and asked the others. "What about you guys? Spend a hundred points for a break. What do you guys think?"

Zero didn't say anything and nodded. This surprised the others. Jie laughed and said he will definitely go. Tengyi thought about it then refused. He was the weakest one among them and he had the least amount of points. So he couldn't really afford to relax with the rest of them.

Yinkong suddenly said. "I can go along, but… Zheng, fight me again. I want to test how much stronger you are when you unlocked your potential."

Zheng didn't know how to respond. Yinkong continued. "I know you call that unlocking genetic constraint. Any little difference in power can cause death in this world. Since we are going to encounter other teams, their teams should also have three, or used to have three people that unlocked their constraint. I don't want to lose… So fight me. You should be at a very strong stage. If I don't lose to you, then I probably won't lose to them!"

Zheng scractch his head then smiled bitterly. "Well, I did reach a higher unlocked stage. But also because of that, it's a little out of my control. That's why I need some time for training. Otherwise I am also a little concerned with taking a trip. Going back to the real world last time was too abrupt… Anyway, I might not be able to control my strength."

Yinkong said calmly. "Doesn't matter. The key to unlocking the constraint can only be felt at the brink of death… If you are prepared, then here I come!"

Just as Zheng answered, Yinkong's eyes lost focus and she charged toward him. This was the expression of someone unlocked their constraint. Even though she had a small figure, but when she charged at Zheng, he felt a pressure that was as strong as an Alien. Although she didn't have any weapons on hand, those fingers of hers were her best weapons.

Zheng became serious. He wanted to enter the unlocked mode at his own will and not only when he was in danger. This pressure along with the fingers that were reaching for his eyes were enough to force him to enter the unlocked mode.

"This is the first stage…"

Zheng's eyes also lost focus. Even when they were both in the unlocked mode, he had reached a deeper level than Yinkong. His speed, power and reaction were much higher than hers. Though he was weaker in his techniques, all his actions were instinctive in the unlocked mode, which helped him rival an assassin.

He blocked the fingers reaching for his eyes with his hand, then kicked at Yinkong. The moment he kicked at her, she used his hand as a support and jumped onto his leg. Then she turned around and struck at Zheng's throat with her foot.

All this happened in an instant. Jie and Zero were the only ones that could make out what happened. That foot was already so close to his throat.

Zheng was very sensitive to danger, his body bent backward immediately and dodged the kick within two centimeters. The foot went just over his nose. Then he kicked at Yinkong who was still standing on his leg with the other leg.

His kick missed her and Yinkong had already jumped from his leg and over head. Then she kicked toward his head. If this hit landed, it might even take his life.

"Little girl… this is the second stage!"

Yinkong lost. The fight ended so sudden. Her kick was about to hit Zheng when she felt something under her feet. Before she got the chance to react, Zheng had already grabber her feet. Then a strike in the stomach knocked her out.

The other people saw everything clearly. The arm that Zheng raised to block her kick suddenly enlarged to about twice its normal size. Not only did it easily blocked her kick, but also grabbed her feet and pulled them downward. His other arm struck her on the stomach. Then she immediately passed out.

Zheng seemed as though he was suffering immense pain. His body began trembling, his arm gradually returned to its normal size, and he was soaked in sweat. He smiled bitterly and handed Yinkong to Lan then said. "This is probably the second stage of the unlocked mode. It enhances the body to a degree but it's difficult to control. The after effect is much worse…"

Then his body trembled violently. He crouched down on the floor and almost a minute later, there was a puddle of sweat on the floor. You could imagine how painful it was.

They sat in a circle and rest for a while. Jie's woman brought them several platters of fruits. Lori also followed behind her. It wasn't until now that Yinkong woke up. She immediately jumped out of Lan's arms and when she got a clear view of the situation, she sighed. "I lost…"

Zheng rubbed his arm and said with a bitter smile. "Your attacks were ruthless. If I got hit, it wouldn't just take away half my life. I might probably die…"

Yinkong replied calmly. "It's shameful to show mercy in a battle. It's better to incapacitate the enemy before showing mercy and not during a battle… You could have killed me with that strike, if you act like this in a real battle, then you will be the one that dies!"

Zheng continued with the bitter smile. "I know, I know. Stop talking like I am a weakling. I know when to show mercy and when to go all out."

"Is that so? Then what if they are also people who are just struggling in this world like us? And they are weak and feeble women?" Yinkong continued asking.

Zheng paused for a moment. "If they really threaten us… Then I will of course…"

Lan saw that Zheng was struggling to answer it. She immediately digressed from the topic. "Hoho, weren't we discussing about going to the beach in Hawaii? Since Yinkong lost, we can all go now. Let's go before we waste any more time. Everyone is fine with 100 points for ten days right?"

Tengyi suddenly said. "Doesn't God start a new movie every ten days? If you all go… then am I the only one left when the next one starts?"

Lan smiled. "Relax, the time spent inside the movie worlds is only an instant in this dimension. No matter how long we are there, we will be back in the blink of an eye for the people here. So relax, we will be back very quick."

Zheng heard their conversation. He was thinking of the items he should bring. Then he asked Zero. "Zero, do you still have the debit card from last time? I am afraid I don't have enough money for the ten days. And right, everyone should bring a weapon. I still have some magical bullets in my ring. We will each bring a submachine gun. Zero should also disassemble your sniper rifle and bring it. Just in case something happens, we will have some security… And let's all think about what else might happen."

They started to discuss and decided to also bring two charms for each person, and also exchanged six communication devices from God. This device was even more advanced than the one Xuan made. It can also display other people's location. Each device only cost 50 points, which was quite inexpensive for its practicality.

"I still can't agree with ten days."

After everyone was set to go, Yinkong suddenly said. "I understand the need to relax but laziness is a scary trait. Once a person stayed in a comfortable environment, he will develop dependency and loosen his guard. If we suddenly come back to the movies from that environment, I don't know how much we can still fight. So I can't accept ten days…Since the communcation device took 50 points, why don't we just go for five days. Five days is enough for a trip on the beach."

Lan was about to say something to refute her but Zheng nodded first and said. "Yes, you're right… Five days plus the remaining nine days in this dimension should be enough for me to get a hold of my abilities. And this trip was originally my decision yet I got everyone to spend the points… Then lets make it five days."

If it was only for relaxation, five days was actually enough. So the others didn't say anything about it. When they were about to exchange the time, Zero came out of his room with an eleven year old boy. Just by appearance, this boy was prettier than most women here. For a while, everyone gave Zero a weird look.

Zero said calmly. "This… is my little brother." Then he led the boy over to God.

A copy of his family from the real world? They looked at Zero's back which gave off a sense of loneliness then followed him. They knew there was a story inside him. In fact everyone that came here was disappointed in the real world and had their own story. It was just that no one wanted to tell their story… They could only bury their story deep inside and try their best to survive.

They held their hands and stood in a line. Then they walked up to God together and exchanged time in the previous world. Location… beach in Hawaii.

Going through that half awake process again, when they woke up, they were already standing on a beach. The sand was white, the sky was sunny, the sea was blue… This was the world famous attraction, Hawii beach.

This was Zheng's second time leaving God's dimension. He was familiar with the rules like coming back here in five days. But there was no rule about disclosing information regarding God's world. It seemed like since this was not the real world, God didn't care if they disclose the information.

The other people also recovered from the half awake state. After processing through the rules, Lori, Lan, and Nana cried in a low voice with excitement. The three women's eyes were sparkling, it seemed like they were very happy with the scenery. Although Yinkong still looked calm, there was a hint of excitement also within her eyes.

The boy Zero brought along was very shy. He hid behind Zero and when Zheng and the other people looked at him, he blushed then turned his head away. That shyness, cuteness, and his pretty face were attractive for shotacons.

"Then… Hehe, lets go swim first. We can go to the hotel later, and if there are no rooms, why don't we just camp outside the beach? Hehe, I've always wanted to go wild once. What do you guys think?" Lan stood on the edge of the sea and laughed.

Before they respond, she already began to take off her clothes. She was wearing a black one piece with black leggings and she just took the one piece off. Even though they could had guessed she was wearing a swim suit inside but the men still stared at her. Then she folded her clothes and leggings and placed them on the side. She jumped into the sea as she cheered.

Lan had an amazing figure but when Yinkong also took off her clothes, they could only think of an succubus. That breasts of hers were even bigger than Lan's, her little waist was toned but not muscular, her skin looked soft and white.

It was as though all women had the same instinct. Even Lori and Nana were wearing swimsuits on the inside. Though they weren't as bold as Lan and Yinkong. They walked over behind a tree before taking their clothes off. And the men's eyes were attracted once again.

Lori ran over to Zheng while smiling and pinched him on the waist. "Oh, big breasts, looks like my pervert likes big breasts a lot… Hehe, I thought you intended to take a break here but it turned out to be for the boobs. I heard all the blondes have either D or E cups." Then she and Nana ran into the sea.

Zheng's mind suddenly became peaceful as he looked at this scenery. A clear sky and sea, the tickle on his waist, and the big… ahem, breasts. Not sure if these meant good or bad luck for him.

Zheng smiled then he accidentally saw Lan took a glance at him. Inside those eyes… was a hint of feeling… Big breasts were… indeed bad luck.

The men's eyes were fixed on the scenery of the four women playing in water. Even Zero couldn't keep his eyes off. Though the little boy kept his head down shyly then after a while he pulled Zero's arm.

Zero bent down and the boy whispered something by his ears. Zero hesitated but as the boy shook his head in panic, he laughed then took the boy behind the trees.

A little later Zero came back with… a boy dressed in a female swimsuit. Ignoring the strange look from Jie and Zheng, he led the boy to the sea and gave his hand to Lan.

"He's… now a girl… but he's also my little brother."

"I was born in a family belonging to an Chinese mafia in America. When I was fifteen, my father got killed, the mafia was annexed by another mafia. My mom became a woman of that mafia's boss, who was also a Chinese American…"

"I couldn't forgive her! She betrayed me, betrayed my father! So I had to seek revenge! I hid my identity for over ten years and trained the skills I currently have. Then… I went back."

"Sarcastically, that woman already died eight years ago but she gave birth to a boy for that man. And that man… raised the boy as a girl to commemorate the woman. He grew up with long hair and wore dresses, just like a pretty little girl. And the most sarcastic thing was… I fell in love with him on first sight."

"In science they call this genetic sexual attraction. Two people who are blood related get attracted to each other instantly. There are many cases of it happening but I never thought it would happen to me… I couldn't forgive them. I couldn't forgive myself… So I decided to kill them then kill myself!"

"The process was smooth. Mafias are not assassins. They can bully civilians but give me a sniper rifle and enough distance, I won't be afraid of anyone… However after I killed him and my little brother, I found a diary that belonged to that woman. It wrote about my father, mother and that man I killed… My little brother was actually my father's child. She was already pregnant that year and she passed away from depression after giving birth… But everything was already too late. Everything was already over…"

"I pressed the button to activate a bomb on my computer and also the YES button. Then I got transferred here…"

Zheng and Jie sighed. They didn't know what to say to Zero. Even though his circumstance was weird but it made him give up on reality. And that feeling of his toward this little brother…

"I will try my best to live on… for her. I wish to protect her, watch her grow up, then… let nature take its course. Perhaps she isn't the little brother of my memory but she's what I live for." Zero said calmly.

Zheng patted his shoulder and said. "As long as you have a reason to live for. What we fear most is when we can't even find a reason to live… Just like the me before I came here. If I didn't get her back, perhaps I would have died in Alien."

Jie also came up to comfort him. Zheng suddenly asked casually. "Right, Jie, you are a veteran. I've never heard how you came here."

Jie's mind went blank for a bit then he laughed. "Just the common problems. Retired, got into a company, had conflict with my superiors, then got fired, stayed in an internet cafe then I came here… Haha, it's not worth mentioning. It makes me rage just thinking about it. My past is not as glorious as Zero's, I was just an otaku."

The three men chatted for a while then came Lan's voice. "Hey, the three of you stop standing there like an idiot. Come swim with us. The water feels so cool… Lori, stop hanging on my chest. My bikini is falling off."

They looked at each other then began taking off their pants without hesitation. They were all wearing trunks. As soon as they took off their clothes, they jumped into the sea.

Nana, Lori, and the little girl swam to their respective men. Lan hesitated then swam over to Zheng. Though Yinkong swam away into the sea. Her black swimsuit contrasted with her snow white skin. She looked like a mermaid swimming in the sea.

Zheng stared into the horizon. The black and white contrast of Yinkong combined with the deep blue sea made for a unique scenery. Then something hit his chest. Lori hanged onto his chest while laughing and Lan also came over to him. The two women then having fun tickling each other. Though maybe it was intentional or maybe it was not, Lan's breasts brushed against his arm. He didn't know whether to avoid it or not, and suffered while enjoying it…

Time always flies by when you feel happy. The evening came and they couldn't help but leave the shore to look for a hotel. In the beginning, they were afraid that without any visa, they couldn't get a room. But Yinkong quickly solved the problem. She borrowed a computer from the staffs and an American company sent them the visas and several million dollars. In the end, they got into a five star hotel.

"Zheng… come to the lobby at nine." Lan said to him in a low voice as she walked pass. Then she went to her room without turning her head.

Zheng's mind went blank as he watched her went away. Then when Lori ran up to him from behind, he smiled bitterly. His feelings were mixed…

P.S. Zero created a girl.

Zheng came to the lobby at nine. He stood next to the wall silently. Lan came over dressed in a casual dress a few minutes later. She looked refreshed. Then she greeted Zheng and went out the door. Zheng had no choice but to follow behind.

"It's so nice to be able to rest here for five days. To be honest, I am at my limit after two movies. If I don't get a chance to relax, I might go crazy in the next movie…"

Even though it was already night time, the outside was bright as daylight form the lighting. As a holiday paradise, night life was just starting by at this hour. The street was filled with people partying and local girls dancing hula. Everything was refreshing for the two of them.

"Zheng, let's go over there. A lot of people are gathered over there." Lan grabbed Zheng's hand and laughed.

Zheng pulled back his hand without a trace and forced a smile. "I told Lori about seeing you, so I can't stay for too long. Lan if you have something to say just say it… It's better to make everything clear."

Lan was dazed for a bit then he looked at Zheng deeply. After a while she smiled. "Are you… mistaken something? Relax, even though I do like you a little, but it's my bottom line to not hurt another girl. So even if you are to betray Lori, I wouldn't allow it… There's something else I want to talk with you about."

"Is that so? I thought…" Zheng scratched his head with embarassment.

Lan laughed lightly, as though there was something else in her laughing. "I don't know why, but I am feeling a sense of stress from our team. Since… uh, since the last time I enhanced my mental capacity, I've been feeling this. And after I learned two spells, this feeling is getting stronger. Like something has been watching and monitoring us."

Zheng replied curiously. "It's probably God that's monitoring us? I felt the same thing when I unlocked the first stage of the constraint, and it's also getting stronger now… but it shouldn't be a big deal. God should be monitoring us all along."

Lan sighed. "I don't know how to explain to you… but whatever I am going to say, I don't have any intention of creating conflict within the team… Don't you think one of us has been acting strange?"

That made Zheng felt even more curious. "One of us is acting strange? What are you trying to say? Even though we are comrades, but if one of us is strange or have bad intentions, then I won't let him off easily…"

Lan opened her mouth but at the end she didn't say anything. She sighed and said. "I am not sure, it's just a feeling. Perhaps it's due to enhancing mental capacity… Zheng, do you still remember the last day in The Grudge? Why did I suddenly get to the hotel but the charm didn't ignite? If it was the Ju On that did it, then the charm should had burned… Didn't you feel something was wrong?"

Zheng also cooled down. He thought for a bit and said. "To be honest, I also felt strange at the time why it happened… Hoho, I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. So that means you figured out the truth?"

"I can't say it's the truth, just some suspicion. That's why I can't name that person. Afterall we are a team… Zheng, if I die, then please be careful of the person who reacts abnormally…"

Their short date ended there. When they got back to the hotel, the two were walking with some distance in between. When Lan got off the elevator, she turned around and gave Zheng a smile, a smile that gave him a sense of sadness…

"Lori… I've been in love with you deeply all along since childhood. I will keep my promise and protect you until our hair turn silver… Lori, I won't… Nothing happened between me and Lan."

Zheng cuddled Lori in bed and muttered these words.

"… Of course nothing will happen. Lan is the nicest sister. Hehe, I already knew she likes you but she isn't the type of person that will fight with me for you… Pervert, you won't leave me right?" Lori yawned then laughed.

"Of course…"

(Feelings aside, who did Lan mean… the person that acted abnormally, is it Xuan? Or Zero? They are not original members of the team. If she was referring to a newbie, then Yinkong is also suspicious. She acted cold toward everyone and now she's become a member of the team… Who was she referring to?)

Zheng fell asleep with Lori then suddenly a special sensation woke up him, as if something was going to happen. As time passed, this sensation was getting stronger and stronger.

Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and sat up from the bed. He carefully covered Lori with the blanket then dressed up and walked out of the room. Without delay, he ran out of the hotel and followed the direction this sensation was coming from.

It was about four or five in the morning. The area was quiet and empty. Zheng ran toward the shore and the sensation was getting stronger but it was also fading away…

"Lan!"

When he reached the shore, he saw little black dot floating from afar. Without rhyme or reason he called out Lan's name. Then he swam toward that little dot. When he finally reached it, it was indeed Lan who fell unconscious! She almost died from drowning!

Zheng swam behind Lan and got a hold of her, then dragged her back to the shore. Once they got on the shore, he tore open her shirt, took a deep breath, placed his hands on her soft chest and started blowing through her mouth.

Shortly after, Lan began to cough then coughed out that sea water in her lungs. It took quite a while for her to stop the coughing. Zheng immediately took off his jacket and put it on her. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly come here to sw… not swim, you're still in pajamas. What actually happened? Why were you drowning here?" Zheng sat on the beach and asked.

Lan coughed a little more lightly then she said with a broken voice. "I don't know what happened. I was deep asleep then I suddenly stood up, as if my body has it's own consciousness. I walked straight out of the hotel and toward the shore. I was so scared. I kept calling your name in my mind… Maybe it was telepathy from an enhanced mental capacity. I felt your existence then I lost consciousness…"

Zheng smiled bitterly. He began to ponder the situation. After a while, he said. "I can only think of two possibilities. One is the Ju On is still not over and the ghost got control of you. But the possibility of this is low because the Ju On should be cleared when we went back to God's dimension. The second one is… one of us wants to kill you because you sensed something is not right after enhancing your mental capacity. And the method he used is…"

"Hypnosis!"

Zheng and Lan said it at the same time. Then Zheng sighed. "If this was what happened, then it can explain how you went to the hotel in The Grudge. Because the one that made you go there isn't the ghost but rather a human… Considering the time that you enhanced your mental capacity, the person that acted abnormally… aside from Xuan, I can only think of Jie."

Lan also sighed. "Yes, he's the one that I have in mind. Ever since I enhanced my mental capacity, I feel stressed when I stand next to him, like he has a much higher level of mental capacity. But if he does, then why didn't he tell us? Do you still remember when we first met? He gave us a feeling that he was very strong but afterward, you overshadowed him. Why? I can only think of one answer."

"He wishes to stay in the safest position… Instead of showing his power then taking up the responsibilities, he would rather hide behind someone strong. He doesn't want to stand out and just get stronger on his own… Once someone learns of his secret, he would kill the person that can threaten to reveal his lies. This is the only possibility I can think of…"

Zheng fell in to a silence for a bit. "Do you have any proof?"

Lan smiled bitterly. "No, I don't have any proof. This is all just my deduction… I didn't even leave my room after I parted with you and went back. Unless Jie hypnotized me during the day, I don't think he has the ability to hypnotize me from afar. That would be absurd… Zheng, do I sound like I am trying to break this team apart?"

Zheng recalled when he first met Jie. The cigarettes, the mutual understandings, the delicious meals, and his hearty laughs… Were all of these fake?

"I won't doubt anyone easily without any proof. But I will announce that you were attacked. Whether it is him or someone else, he won't attack you again for some time. And stay with me and Lori these few days… If it turns out to be him, I will kill him with my own hands!"

When they met up in the afternoon, Zheng told them about the attack. Everyone acted shocked. Of course he didn't mention their deductions,and just said it might be the Ju On. He was observing Jie during the conversation. Jie acted normally and asked Lan about the details then comforted her.

(It's not you right? Someone as genuine as you… Are you hiding your powers like she said, then kill everyone that learns of your secret? Is… staying alive more important than anything else?)

Due to the attack, they had no choice but to end the trip prematurely. Everyone stayed in the same room like last time and took turns to keep a watch at night. When he was assigning the groups, Zheng paired himself with Jie and put Lan and Yinkong together.

There was no attack in the following days. The Ju On never appeared and they went back to God's dimension in the fifth day. Even though Zheng felt relieved, it casted a cloud over his heart.

Jie… is staying alive so important? Even if it means sacrificing your comrades?

Due to the disappointing trip, they didn't have the mood to relax in the remaining nine days. They just trained and trained. Zero taught them how to use guns, Yinkong taught them close combat techniques, and Jie acted unimpressive. Aside from the laughs, he acted just like a newbie, learning from Zero and Yinkong and even asked Zheng for tips on unlocking.

Time passed by. Zheng suppressed his doubts and concentrated on training his blood energy spell and mastering the second stage of the unlocked mode. After nine days… the beams casted from God and its voice sounded in their minds again.

"Enter the beams within thirty seconds. Target locked. Beginning teleportation to The Mummy…"

Vol 5: Chapter 1-1.

In Thebes, Egypt, 1290 BC, high priest Imhotep engaged in an affair with Anck-su-Namun, the mistress of Pharaoh Seti I. When the Pharaoh discovered their tryst, Imhotep and Anck-su-Namun murdered the monarch. As Seti's guards arrive, Imhotep fled while Anck-su-Namun killed herself.

After Anck-su-Namun's burial, Imhotep and his priests stole her corpse and travelled to Hamunaptra, the city of the dead. He placed Anck-su-Namun's organs in five canopic jars then chanted the spell on the Book of the Dead, summoning Anck-su-Namun's soul from the underworld. As the ceremony was about to be completed, the Pharo's guards interrupted it and sent her soul back to the underworld.

Imhotep's priests were all mummified alive. Imhotep was sentenced to immortal agony, condemned to suffer the Hom Dai curse, having his tongue removed and then being buried alive with flesh eating scarab beetles. He was buried under high security, sealed away in a sarcophagus at the feet of a statue of the Egyptian god Anubis, and kept under strict surveillance by warriors known as the Medjai; for all humanity would be doomed should he resurface.

"… This is basically the story of The Mummy that happened several thousand years ago. And until three years ago, 1923, a unit of the French Foreign Legion accidentally found Hamunaptra. The legionnaires attempted to open up the tomb for its treasures but they encountered an army of Tuareg warriors. In the movie, only two people escaped alive from the attack. The main character of the movie, Rick O'Connell and Beni Gabor, who later was consumed by scarabs." Lan said.

"Then where are we now?"

This was a dimly lit concealed room. Aside from a metal window, there was nothing else. No, there was a blonde man sitting with his head down and five black haired men and women lying on the floor.

Zero looked around and said. "This is probably a jail right? And one that was built a long time ago. Lan, were there any jails in the movie?"

Lan touched her forehead and said. "Yes. The main character O'Connel was one of the only two people that escaped from Hamunaptra. He obtained the key to Imhotep's coffin. This key could also open the Book of the Dead and the Book of Amun-Ra, two of the most important items in the movie. However the key was stolen by the heroine's brother, Jonathan Carnahan when he was in a brawl in a bar. In order to search for Hamunaptra, Evelyn came to the jail to save O'Connel. We should be at a time when Evelyn is about to save O'Connel. Just like the previous movies, the movie should start when other people become aware of our existence. This blonde man is probably the main character, O'Connel."

Zheng laughed. "It seems like we are lucky this time around. We have eleven people including the newbies, so the difficulty of this movie should be that high. I've also seen The Mummy, but this isn't really a horror movie though."

Lan also laughed. "Yeah, this isn't a horror movie, but even if it isn't, as long as the movie is dangerous and has a high mortality rate, it will fit God's criteria. So our deduction is confirmed, the movie doesn't have to be a horror movie… Eleven man difficulty, we just have to be careful and it shouldn't be that dangerous."

Tengyi was very excited. "Treasures of ancient Egypt and the legendary Book of the Dead and Book of Amu-Ra! God, I can read hieroglyphics also, even though I am not fluent in it. I want to read the contents of these two books! This is amazing!"

As they were talking, Yinkong looked at her watch then said. "What does it say on the watch? It's crammed with words…"

The others then looked at their own watch. There was no countdown this time, only words. Zheng immediately walked near the window for better lighting.

"Eliminate Imhotep! Reward each member with a rank D reward… There was also 5000 meters under it, O'Connel?" Zheng read it out.

When he read the name O'Connel, the blonde man's body glowed.

Zheng smiled bitterly. "It seems like we are confined within a range, 5000 meters around him. Otherwise we will get erased by God… There are more words below."

"After Imhotep is resurrected, Team India will enter this world. Killing a normal member will be rewarded 2000 points and a rank C reward, killing an unlocked member will be rewarded 7000 points and a rank B reward. Having a member killed by the other team will deduct one point, killing a member of the other team will earn one point. The final amount multiplied by 2000 will be rewarded by every remaining member."

Everyone fell into a silence as Zheng read it. Then he turned around and looked at the five of them. No, there were also the five newbies that were getting up. He muttered. "So… we are going to encounter another team. And judging from this message, this fight… will be inevitable!"

Vol 5: Chapter 1-2.

Lan and the others didn't look at the newbies. They all turned to Zheng.

"As long as the other team is even slightly stronger than us, they will want to kill us. Once they killed one of our member, we can only kill one of them back. Otherwise all of us will probably be erased by the end of the movie. Who has 2000 points to spare for the negative score? So we can only fight back… Once someone opens fire, then only one team can leave alive!"

The five newbies got up from the ground. A woman immediately screamed as she patted her body then ran to the corner of the room. The other four people were making a loud disturbance. There were four men and one women this time around. A forty something muscular bald man, a thirty something gentleman with glasses, a twenty something young man with a baby face, and a boy about eleven or twelve years old.

The woman was gorgeous with long silky black hair, wearing a sexy long dress. She was 1.7 meters tall. If it wasn't that for her scared expression, she was definitely a stunner.

Zheng sighed as he looked at the newbies, then he turned to Lan. "Explain the situation to them…"

Lan also nodded with a bitter smile, then she began to explain God's world and its rules, including death, enhancements, horror movies. After she received the reward notification, she nodded to Zheng again.

The five newbies seemed a bit bewildered. Especially since they were in a jail, there was no way to leave. Zheng said to them in a calm voice. "Just like what she told you, we are currently in a horror movie. Here, you can get injured and die. You might even die in an unimaginable way. You should know if you ever watched horror movies. Like getting infected by a virus, or impaled by an Alien, or sucked dry by a vampire, or… eaten by numerous scarabs!"

The five newbies shivered, even Lan pinched him. "Tell me your occupations and abilities. I will determine if you have the qualifications to join my team by your abilities and character. If you can't become a member, then I will give you a weapon and a hundred magical bullets, and also a gold bar. Of course, you can't be 5000 meters away from this man…"

The muscular bald man laughed. "Gold? You joking me? I am in a jail. It's probably that Wang betrayed me. Stop with your stories, I won't believe one word of it." Then he punched the wall and left a dent on it. It seemed like he had some actual strength.

Zheng and the others looked at him coldly. The bald man suddenly turned to the woman. He walked over to her while laughing filthily. "Shit. How could they put a me with a woman together? Do they want me to have some fun before execution? I will do it. This woman is probably here to make me confess right? If you want to know where the heroin is then serve me well. Haha… Ah!"

As he reached for the woman's dress, a hand from behind grabbed his neck. Then it threw him to a corner.

Zheng said. "Understood. Your occupation is a criminal. Abilities are threatening and bullying… They are useless against our team. And you are too offensive, I won't give you any weapon."

The bald man got up while shaking his head. He spit out some blood then shouted. "F*ck. Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me from behind? I am going to beat the shit out of you…"

Yinkong who was standing there silently the whole time suddenly ran up to him and as he lowered his head to look at her, he felt a sudden pain on his two arms. Both his arms were cut off in that instant and before he could cry in pain, Zheng slashed at him with his knife then he dropped to the floor.

"Ah! Murder! The criminals are murdering people…" The bald man could no longer keep his toughness. He was crying with tears. After getting both his arms and legs cut off, he struggled on the floor with just his body. The blood bleeding from his limbs soaked the floor.

Zheng took out the hemostasis spray and bandage quietly and stopped his bleeding. Then he turned to the other four newbies and said to them coldly. "I will do this to everyone that threatens our team. Once he get more than 5000 meters away from this man, he will be erased by God. Don't test my patience…"

The glasses man immediately said. "My name is Gao HongLiang (Liang). I'm a computer programmer. I am very confident at programming. Ahem. I wish to join your team. No, even as a test member is ok. I don't have any requirements, you don't even have to give me a weapon…" Zheng interrupted him from continuing. This man stepped to the side quietly just like he was ordered by his boss.

The young man scratched his head and said. "My name is Zhang Heng. I am a junior in college. I am also a sub for the Olympics archery team. I am adept at using composite bows. My endurance is also pretty good. Hoho, can I become a team member?"

The boy was the strangest of the bunch. He was standing on the wall and was drawing something in air with his finger. After Heng finished his introduction, he turned to them and said calmly. "Xiao Honglu. Twelve years old. Currently living in a neurological institute as a research subject. I have strong premonitions… I believe your words."

After the three of them finished introducing themselves, everyone turned to the woman. She was still staring at the bald man in fear. When she noticed everyone was looking at her, she screamed. "Don't, don't leave me behind… I am Qin Zhuiyu. Movie, movie star. Haven't any of you seen my movies? I, I'm good at… right, I am talented at acting, and my singing is also great… Please don't leave me behind…"

She started crying as she said this. Lan walked over to her and embraced her. Just as the men was smiling bitterly at the scene, the door to the jail was opened.

Vol 5: Chapter 1-3.

Correction. Xiao Honglu lived in a neurological institute not psychiatric hospital. The Chinese words for these two are similar.

—

Three guards came in through the door, then they grabbed O'Connel outside. They acted like they didn't even see Zheng's group or even the bald man who was screaming on the floor. The prison door was left open after they left.

Zheng said. "Good, The Mummy has officially started. The four of you wait a minute here." Then he turned to the others.

"Lets discuss what to do with them…" Zheng scratched his head.

Yinkong said calmly. "The best method is… cut their limbs and leave them here. We don't have the energy to take care of powerless newbies when we encounter the other team… This is the most rational method."

Jie, Tengyi, and Lan all shook their heads, but Zero said. "Right, this is the rule of the battleground… They are still not our comrades. It's not worth it if the six of us die trying to save them… And we also can't give them to the other team. Otherwise we will be at negative 8000 points if they all get killed. Then we will have to kill four people to even it out…"

"Three versus two huh?" Zheng smiled bitterly, then he turned to the four newbies. In other words, his decision determined their fate.

"If you are afraid of the other team…" Honglu picked a few rocks off the wall, crushed them then put them together. As he was playing with the rocks, he continued. "If you are afraid of the other team, then the four of us can act as baits."

"Judging from the information you have given us, you veterans should be much stronger than normal people. That is proven from the human stick on the ground… You also wouldn't want any of you guys to get in danger, right. If the other team has more people than you, better equipment than you, and more powerful than you, then why wouldn't they want to attack you? Even if they don't attack you in the beginning, how can you be sure they don't do it in the rest of the movie? Instead of risking your lives to test them, why don't you use us as baits instead?"

Not only were Zheng's group shocked at his words, the other newbies were staring at him in a daze. He continued playing with the rocks and muttered. "Instead of being left in this jail without any hope… I would rather choose the path with only one out of a thousand chance of living. I think this is the same for the three of you right? Choose to become a bait or choose to die immediately."

The other three newbies also nodded, but Zheng was stunned. Because this boy gave them a strange feeling, it was just like… Xuan!

Zheng took a deep breath then nodded. "Ok, the three of you are now under or monitor, as to you…" He pointed to Honglu.

"You are now a member of this team. We won't give you any weapon in this movie and we will monitor you. But we will also protect you. How do you think?" Zheng looked at the others in his team and they all nodded, then he said it to Honglu.

Honglu threw away the rocks then stood up. "I don't have any problem with it but when we have to run, you have to carry me… Oh right, we've been talking for over five minutes already, I think O'Connel is about to get released."

Zheng then ran outside the jail with everyone. Jie picked up Honglu and said. "Have you seen this movie? They show you movies in a psychiatric hospital?"

"It's neurological institute, not psychiatric hospital… Have you seen any main characters that die in the beginning of a story? That's why O'Connel is either going to be released or some plot is happening. We must stay within 5000 meters of him. So if he leaves the jail, we will be in trouble if we can't find his location. Once he gets too far from us, then we will probably die like that bald man." He twirled his black hair as he talked.

(So similar. He and Xuan both give people an ice cold feeling, but it seems like he still has a little bit of empathy, whereas Xuan is completely apathetic…) Zheng thought.

Then he ran over to Jie. "Did you say you have a premonition ability? We can you foretell? The future or…"

"Death! I can foretell when death is coming… Don't worry, if any of you are going to die, I will let you know." He laughed coldly then pulled a string of hair. He put it on his fingertip and blew it. The hair then flew away.

The corridor of this jail was filled with prisoners who were looking out through the bars. The corridor formed a half circle and surrounded a stage. In the center of the stage was a gallows. O'Connel was standing on that gallows.

Honglu suddenly asked Zheng in a rushed tone. "Can the plot be changed? Like if we kill O'Connel now, what will happen to the movie?"

Zheng was surprised then said. "Then… something will probably change because the plot has changed. Like Imhotep will get resurrected instantly or we will have to follow another character, or we will have to search for the Hamunaptra ourselves… Are you feeling anything?"

Honglu pulled the hair in front of his forehead and said calmly. "Since the plot can be changed, everything can happen in this movie after we entered this world. I don't know why but I feel like O'Connel is going to die during his execution. Even though I don't know how he was rescued in the movie, but if you don't want the plot to change from the main character dying, then you can rescue him in a bit…"

Zheng was decisive and immediately turned to Zero. "Zero, you still have the pistol with a silencer right? Can you shoot the rope used for hanging from here?"

Zero looked at the stage then nodded. "No problem. I can see everything clearly… If it's just the rope, I can shoot it without anyone noticing."

The era was after World War 1 and before World War 2 started. There weren't any silencers in this era so they don't have to worry about people noticing the gunshot. They surrounded Zero from all sides so people couldn't see what he was holding.

Then the gallows was activated and O'Connel was hanging in midair. In the original plot, the heroine should be persuading the warden to release O'Connel but ten seconds had passed and there was no order to release him. As O'Connel's breath was getting weaker and weaker, the rope snapped and he fell to the ground. No one noticed the little bullet hole on the ground.

Zheng and the others all turned to Honglu. The boy pulled a hair and put it on his finger tip then blew it away. He muttered "… Infinite possibilities?"

Zheng's group was well dressed compared to the other prisoners. So they easily walked out of the jail. The guards only thought of them as visitors. And this jail wasn't a legit jail anyway. They waited by the entrance of the jail for O'Connel to come out.

As they were waiting, Zheng turned to Honglu. "You said you were a research subject in a neurological institute, then you don't have any mental disorder?"

Honglu twirled his hair around his finger. "Right. I have highly developed central nervous system and cerebral cortex which allow me to sense some strange things… Like an air of death surrounding us. Some of us are going to die soon."

The others looked awkward as he said this. Of course, anyone being told they were about to die from a twelve year old boy would be like this. They couldn't really get mad at a little boy.

Zheng laughed. He crouched down then looked into Honglu's eyes. "Are there really ESP in this world? Premonition of death can count as ESP right?"

Honglu smiled then pulled a string of hair. "Do you know about sixth sense? Everyone is able to infer or sense their future from the all the information around them subconsciously. It's just that some people have a stronger sense than others. Among all the senses, those concerning death are the strongest. The effects of my highly developed brain are extraordinary reasoning ability and being able to accept the signals people send out subconsciously about the death they sense. The world through my eyes… is gray. I can see the everyone's premonitions of their deaths. Those that have a deeper gray color are more likely to die… Just like you, you have the deepest color among us."

Zheng was surprised then he forced a smile. "Inevitable death? Or can it be changed?"

"Just a possibility of dying. Like O'Connel who took a walk on the brink of death. He had an even deeper gray color than you do…"

Then the movie star Zhuiyu crouched next to him with a smile and said. "Little boy, how deep is the gray color on me?" She put out her hand to touch his head.

Honglu slapped her hand away then sneered. "Even though the gray on you isn't as deep as his, but I were you, I would write down my will now… You are more susceptible to dying than anyone else."

Zhuiyu's face immediately turned pale white. Her hand froze there in mid air.

Honglu then crouched down then twirled his hair around his fingers. "There isn't enough information. I don't even know your names and abilities so I can't do anymore deductions. I will continue with the deductions after O'Connel comes out and we get in touch with him."

Zheng looked at the other veterans then he said to Honglu. "My name is Zheng Zha, the temporary leader of this team. I probably have the strongest close combat ability. Unlocked the second stage of the genetic constraint, have the bloodline of a vampire viscount, intermediate level Qi, and one blood energy spell… This is Zhang Jie. He has survived the most movies… This is Zhan Lan. She's weak in combat and stamina, but her enhancements are magical abilities. She currently has two spells that can increase a person's speed and stamina. Her reasoning abilities are also quite good… This is Zero. He was a professional assassin. Skilled in long distance sniping, has a Gauss sniper rifle that has a very long range and power. Given enough distance, he can eliminate multiple enemies… This is Zhao Yinkong, also an assassin. But she's skilled in close combat. She has a dagger that can burn the souls of its victims, very effective against spiritual beings. She's also the second member that unlocked the genetic constraint… This is Qi Tengyi. He is an antique appraiser, very knowledgable with antiques. His is irreplaceable in movies such as this one."

Honglu lowered his head and thought. "What's the genetic constraint? It seems like the key to the battle between the teams."

Zheng nodded. "Yes. A very talented person who was here before deduced the goal of God's world is to force people to evolve. And unlocking the genetic constraint marks the evolution of the organism. Once a team accumulates three people that unlocked the constraint, even if one or two of them died, this team will encounter other teams in random. God set a high reward to incentivize the teams to kill each other… Once a person is killed by the other team, then only one team can leave alive."

Honglu pulled another hair and stared at it quietly. "Is that so? If God's goal isn't to have us survive but rather to unlock the constraint in the brink of death… then my deductions are correct. I have been thinking if killing a member of the other team gives points, why don't both teams trade their newbies away? As long as both teams kill an equal amount, then it doesn't violate God's goal yet you still get the rewards to enhance yourself. Then why don't the teams use this method? So that's why…"

Everyone looked at him in confusion. Honglu didn't explain anything. He twirled his hair around his fingers quietly until O'Connel, Evelyn and her brother Jonathan came out from the entrance. Everyone then followed behind the casts quietly. After they walked through a few streets, Honglu muttered. "It's about… 5000 meters."

"Huh?" They looked at him in confusion.

Suddenly a notification appeared in their head.

"One member killed. Team China minus one point. Currently at negative 2000 points. Members with negative points at the end of the movie will be erased…"

As everyone was shocked, Honglu pulled the hair on his forehead and said calmly. "Once someone dies, it will minus one point, yet the other team didn't get any points… In other words, when I know you are trading me away, I will kill myself first. So the team that betrayed me will lose one point and the teams can't continue with trading newbies. At the same time… both teams will be forced into a battle. God doesn't want us to farm points easily. It wants us to kill each other like Gu, until someone evolved to the highest stage… We are the creatures in that container…"

(Gu poison involved sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipede, snake, scorpion) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor. )

They were already at negative one point now which made them felt heavily burdened. Their only choice was to fight. Either kill a person from the other team or the majority of the group would be erased at the end. Aside from Zheng, most of them wouldn't be able to take the 2000 point hit.

"We've been thinking about how to avoid fighting the other team but who would have guessed we have to think about how to kill someone from the other team now… It feels complicated." Zheng smiled bitterly.

He thought for a bit then continued. "Honglu, can you analyze the other team's members? And why did God put us in this world before them?"

Honglu twirled a string of hair. "Based on the information you've given, as long as a team has or used to have three unlocked member, then this team will encounter other teams… What I want to say is, we are definitely weaker than Team India. Otherwise God wouldn't put us in this world first."

Tengyi asked. "Why? Wouldn't we have to go through more dangers since we are here first? The desert, the tomb, the mummies, and that Imhotep. Aren't these dangerous?"

Honglu started to pull another hair but Lan grabbed his hand away. "Stop pulling your hair, you're going to become bald."

Honglu waved her hand away. "I won't. My hair regeneration speed increased due to my special cerebral cortex. Even if I pull out all my hair, they don't take long to grow back… My scalp gets very itchy when I think. It makes me watch to scratch, but the itching will get worse the more you scratch. So I can only pulled my hair to create a little pain… Leave me alone."

"Tengyi, who do you think has more advantage in a battlefield. An army that get there first or the later army? Even if the battle took place in a swamp where the environment and organisms are deadly, the first army will have an advantage. Whether it's setting up an ambush, or surround, the group that's more familiar with the environment will have the first hand."

"Our team has sniper, assassin, fighters, and support. We're only missing someone that can set traps like land mines. This team is already very strong and we also have two members that unlocked their constraint. If God still considers us the weak side… the the other team has a 70% chance of having some magical abilities…"

Honglu pulled another hair, but he didn't blow it away. He twirled it around his finger and said. "If that's the case, then I suggest not engaging them face to face. Magical abilities are unpredictable. And we have an advantage in long distance attacks… Zero will be the core in this battle! Snipe them all!"

Zheng was in a daze. "I never thought you are the most violent one here. I always thought of you as a more intelligent child… Right, how do you know all these? Even if you are intelligent, this seem like too much information."

Honglu smiled deviously. For a moment he seemed like a normal boy. "There are computers in this world. Even though I am a research subject but that doesn't mean I am confined. I can go read on the internet when I have time. And in this age, there's a genre of novels called fantasy."

Zheng was surprised then he laughed out loud. "That's how a kid should be like. The you before was just like someone I knew… Maybe he can count as a friend. You were so similar to him."

Suddenly the main characters who were walking in front of them stopped. They seemed to be discussing something. Then Evelyn left with her brother while O'Connell walked into an alley.

The group looked at each other and without a word, then contintued following into the alley. Right as they made the turn, they saw O'Connell standing there and looking at them cautiously.

"Fellow prisoners, are you following me intentionally?" O'Connell sneered.

Zheng was shocked. He remembered it was the same in Resident Evil. God gave them an identity in the movie world. They were security guards back then and prisoners right now.

Zheng had an idea and laughed. "Hoho, I heard you talking about Hamunaptra…"

O'Connell immediately reached for his back but he forgot he was just released from the jail and there was no gun on him. Then he saw Zheng took out a strange gun and put up his hands. "Haha, you must be mistake, bro. What Hamunaptra…"

Zheng put away his gun with a smile. "Hoho, I don't want to say anything else. I mean no harm, just that I wish you can take us to Hamunaptra. I will be responsible for your safety… In fact, we were the ones that saved you from before."

O'Connell looked at him in confusion. Zheng smiled at Zero then pointed to a pointed steel bar on top of a building. It was at least a thousand meters away, they could barely see that bar. O'Connell also looked over then with a small buzz, the steel bar snapped. O'Connell looked at them in shock just to see Zero putting away a strange looking handgun.

It was just after World War 1, so there weren't even semi automatics, not to mention a handgun with a range of over a thousand meters. The gun Zero had was tech from the twenty first century. Whether it was the silencer, or its range, or Zero's ability, all shocked O'Connell. He stood there with his mouth open wide and after quite a while, he said. "… Don't point the gun at me. Just don't…"

This could be considered physical threat. Zheng smiled bitterly as he followed behind O'Connell. In fact, Honglu was observing his actions without him noticing the whole time. The boy showed a smile of acknowledgement after he took care of O'Connell…

O'Connell was almost forced to accept their request and bring them to Hamunaptra. Of course, Zheng then gave him two gold bars which made him feel better. Without a choice, he brought Zheng and the others back to his inn.

O'Connell seemed like a regular here. He hit up a conversation with a blonde young man as soon as he stepped inside. Basically about how he stayed in jail for a few days and almost got hanged.

After a while, O'Connell turned to Zheng. "You guys stay here, I will go sell the gold first… and buy some guns and ammos. Of course I don't think you guys need any guns right?" Then he pointed at Zero with a laugh.

Zheng also laughed. He knew O'Connell was someone that could keep his promise in the movie. But because of the 5000 meter limitation, he took out another gold bar from the ring and said. "Due to some reasons, we have to follow you around. But we won't be stingy with money. Don't worry, we are aware of some people guarding Hamunaptra. We will deal with them when we encounter them. I only wish to find Hamunaptra."

O'Connell looked at Zheng in confusion. He grabbed the gold bar and said. "Then lets hurry. I promised that woman to meet up at Giza port tomorrow morning. It's not safe to enter the black market at night. Let's go."

The returned to the inn shortly after. O'Connell exchanged the gold bars for a large sum of cash and coins easily. Not only did him buy himself a bag of weapons but also new clothes and shoes. When they got back to the inn, he had opened up to Zheng group.

The inn wasn't too big but the rooms had everything necessary. During dinner, O'Connell began to talk about his experience as a soldier, especially the time he entered Hamunaptra three years ago, and how he escaped from the desert.

"… We received an order to look for the city of the dead, which had an unlimited amount of gold… Hoho, I almost suspected you've found the gold from there… Anyway, after we had eaten enough sand, Hamunaptra finally came into our sight on a nice day. The pharoh's tomb, the books of the living and the dead, and the large amount of gold…"

"After we reached it, we only had the opportunity to do some simple exploration before we were attacked by a group in black clothes. They wanted to kill all of us. I escaped after encountering a strange event. I was going to get killed but the ground I was standing at suddenly elevated. It was the face of a man, probably the spirit that guards the tomb… Ahem, anyway, I was the only one that escaped alive. Then I was faced with the endless desert…"

O'Connell took a gulp of his tequila then continued. "Back then I had no supplies or clean water. And it takes three days to reach the nearest oasis from Hamunaptra. That's a desert, without any horse, or camel, it would take at least five days of walking. Under the harsh temperature and conditions, any human would have become a jerky…"

"At the third day, I started eating snakes and scorpions, using their blood to moisturize my throat… Then at night I would dig through layers of sand for the wet sand underneath… I didn't know how I made it to the oasis. I probably looked like a mummy by then. Haha…"

Even though he said it in a normal tone, but the dangers and difficulties were there. Some of them comforted him while Zero and some others were eating their meals with indifference.

O'Connell suddenly said. "Why do you want to find Hamunaptra? The gold that you gave me are of the purest quality. And you don't even seem to care that much, just like you are filthy rich. Is the gold from Hamunaptra really that attractive to you?"

Zheng smiled bitterly as he drank his tequila. "If I say I am not there for the gold, but rather that we will die if we don't get there. Will you believe it? It sounds so implausible…"

"Is it a curse? Whatever, I don't know anything about it anyway. I will do what I promised. We will leave for Hamunaptra tomorrow… I hope I don't have to run away this time."

(That would be difficult…)

The few of them that knew the plot laughed. In the plot, O'Connell's group unleashed Imhotep and had to run away to Cairo. Even though they had ample supplies but being chased by a mummy wasn't the best feeling.

"Good! Then we will leave for Hamunaptra tomorrow!" Zheng raised his tequila to O'Connell and nodded with determination.

Lan suddenly said with devious smile. "Right, we still need to buy one more thing. That will be our amulet."

"What's it?" Everyone asked at the same time, including Zheng and O'Connell.

"A cat!"

By noon of the next day, O'Connell brought everyone to Giza port. Evelyn and her brother Jonathan were already waiting there. They let out a sigh of relief after they saw O'Connell but at the same time they noticed Zheng's group who were following behind O'Connell and showed signs of caution.

Evelyn was rather straightforward, once O'Connell came close, she asked immediately. "Didn't you say you are only bringing us? Why are there so many people? Just to make it clear, I won't pay for their expenses. You, you're O'Connell?"

O'Connell was covered in dirt while he was in jail but after cleaning up and getting new clothes, he looked rather handsome. Before he had the chance to reply, Evelyn was totally stunned. "H-hi…"

"Haha, today's a nice day for adventures. There's no harm in having more people… but are they trustworthy? Of course, you know I am referring to the gold. There isn't enough gold to split among so many people…" Jonathan laughed as he asked O'Connell in a low voice.

O'Connell nodded. "Yeah, the weather is suitable for adventures. As to them, they are probably not interested in gold. Plus they will protect us in the journey… What I am more concerned about…" He reached into his pockets and took a look at his wallet.

Jonathan was a skilled thief. He laughed awkwardly. "Don't worry, I won't steal from our own people. Hoho, you mentioned they aren't interested in gold. Then that means… they are rich?"

Zheng walked over to the three of them and laughed. "Hoho, I heard what you said… My name is Zheng Zha, and these are my comrades. We are an expedition group sponsored by an American billionaire. Our mission is to find all the possible secret places in the world… Of course, the legendary city of the dead is one of the secret places. We will take care of the expenses in the journey and provide you with adequate protection. Of course you have have to listen to our advice and not do anything that will put us in danger. That's basically it."

Evelyn had been staring at O'Connell the whole time and didn't wake up until Zheng began talking. "Wh-what! We didn't join your expedition group! We are looking for the city of the dead as a private individual, why do we have to listen to your advices? We don't need you to pay for our expenses, we can afford them ourselves…"

Zheng shook his head and said. "I think you're mistaken. Our mission is exploration, we are not interested in the gold…"

Her reaction intensified. She almost shouted with her face red. "I understand it now. Your goal is the Book of the Dead and Book of Amun-Ra right? Impossible! Even if such ancient literatures exist, we couldn't hand them to some rich guy. These literatures are historical treasures, I won't let you have them!"

Zheng noticed people around were giving them strange looks, and even sensed some hostility. He shook his head and said. "Fine, fine, fine. We are not taking anything ok? Just for exploration, exploration only… Aye, women… everyone is a paranoia." Then he boarded the ship.

Evelyn still wouldn't give up. She pulled O'Connell's shirt. "Can you promise they are saying the truth? I don't care, you brought them here! You have to promise they wouldn't take those two books. Otherwise, I warn you…"

O'Connell could only smile with bitterness, especially when he saw Zheng's group had already boarded the ship…

Anyway, he finally took care of Evelyn and by the time he boarded the ship, Zheng had already bought the majority of its first class rooms with his gold. And Jonathan seemingly became best friends with him after receiving a gold nugget. Of course anyone who had seen the movie should know to avoid him, because he was a capable thief.

"Following this river, we will get off the ship by tomorrow noon. Then we will walk west for about half a day and reach the biggest and only oasis on the way to Hamunaptra. That's also a place for merchants to exchange items. We will then buy the camels and supplies. After that we will go south west and we should reach it after three days and nights if there are no accidents…"

O'Connell opened up a crude map on the table and said as he pointed to the various locations.

Evelyn asked. "Accidents? What accidents?"

O'Connell didn't say anything. He suddenly threw his bag on the table and opened it up. The bag was filled with handguns, rifles, and bullets. Enough for everyone of them.

Evelyn was shocked. "I… Did I mistaken anything? We are there for expedition right? Or are we there for a war?"

O'Connell didn't answer her and loaded a handgun. "Lady, that place isn't safe… There's something under the tomb and it was guarded by a mysterious group… It is literally the city of the dead."

Evelyn immediately turned to Zheng. "Didn't you say you will protect us? I only want those two books, you can take everything else… Even though my brother believes there are treasures but I don't think you can actually find gold…"

Zheng nodded. "I told you we were only there for exploration. We are not interested in anything else… but you seem to be familiar with those two books."

Evelyn replied excitedly. "Of course, the legendary Book of Amun-Ra, also called the golden book of revival (different from the movie), and the Book of the Dead. These two books contained ancient Egyptian spells. They made me fall in love with Egypt…"

Suddenly, Honglu interrupted her. "What time is it?"

They were taken aback for a moment. Zheng looked at his watch and said. "Ten o'clock…" He paused and saw Honglu nodded.

Lan had told everyone the plot of The Mummy in the inn last night. Perhaps due to her enhanced mental capacity, she had amazing memory and told them every little detail of the plot.

Zheng then remembered that they would be attacked by the Medjai at night time, about this hour.

"Evelyn, go get the ke-… go get the map and that puzzle box. Zero and Jie go protect her… O'Connell, come find Jonathan with me, he should be playing poker with the Americans. Everyone else take guard here. If anything happens, then follow Lan, Tengyi and Yinkong's orders… Let's go. The story starts!"

Zheng stood up and took out his progressive knife from the ring, then headed to the deck.

Jonathan was playing poker with the Americans. One could tell his luck by looking at his expression. There was a gold nugget next to the American sitting in front of him. He had obviously lost the gold nugget Zheng gave him.

"Hi guys, want to play a few rounds too?" Jonathan said as he noticed Zheng and O'Connell. Even though Zheng was holding the progressive knife, it had such a plain look that no one would have guessed its sharpness.

O'Connell was a bit confused, he asked Zheng. "What's happening? You're acting strange…"

Before he finished the sentence, gunshots came from across the ship and the back of the ship started smoking. While everyone was in shock, one of the waiters fell to the ground as blood came out of his chest.

The Americans were the first to respond. They immediately pulled out their guns and began shooting. O'Connell wasn't slow either, he quickly swept the gold nugget and the cash on the table then ran toward Zheng.

Zheng held onto his knife and took out his submachine gun. "O'Connell, protect Jonathan and meet up with the others in the cabin."

O'Connell pulled out two handguns and muttered. "These men in black… How did they find out we are going to Hamunaptra? And there are so many of them…"

"Yea, this is too freaking many…"

Zheng remembered in the original movie, there were only about ten assassins that attacked the ship. Aside from lighting it on fire, there weren't enough of them to kill everyone. Yet perhaps the involvement of Zheng's group made the assassins feel threatened, there were several dozens of them and even more climbing on the ship.

The power of his submachine gun could rival the heavy machine guns of this era. Zheng sprayed at the edge of the ship, breaking it and causing ten of the men in black to fall off. Everyone looked at him in shock for a moment.

Since normal bullets weren't expensive, Zheng sprayed liberally and shot a lot of the men off the ship.

"Still good…" Zheng had been protecting O'Connell and Jonathan's backs. "Fortunately these problems can be solved with guns. I miss being about to solve things this way…"

Jonathan turned around and asked. "What can't be solved with guns?"

"Like spirits and…"

Zheng suddenly sensed danger and stepped in front of Jonathan with his knife, blocking two stray bullets.

"… and luck."

Jonathan was also shocked. He patted Zheng on the shoulder and said. "Nice bro. Nice… handgun."

It was as though stealing was an instinct, Jonathan pulled a gun from Zheng's pocket without thinking and began shooting. Zheng and O'Connell laughed as they shook their heads.

It didn't take long for them to reach the others. Evelyn, Zero, and Jie had brought back the puzzle box and map. The ship was smoking at all sides by this time.

Beside the group were ten men in black lying on the floor, with a finger sized hole in their chests. Yinkong was cleaning her nails with a napkin. No one would have guessed this little girl just killed ten people barehanded by that indifference look of her face.

Zheng put back his knife and gun then smiled. "Are you all ready?"

O'Connell replied immediately with a laugh. "Of course, I remember the shore is at this direction…"

Jonathan was in a daze. "What ready? Hey, O'Connell, what did he mean by ready?"

Zheng didn't explain anything. He threw Jonathan into the river and took back his gun at the same time. Evelyn screamed and grabbed onto O'Connell when Zheng reached for her. Zheng couldn't help but took back his hand when Lan suddenly ran into his arms. Zero and Yinkong already jumped into the river.

"Then… let's go."

He also jumped with a laugh. Even though this was a movie but he had already interacted with the characters. Furthermore this movie wasn't as dangerous as the ones before, as least for now. So he got a little excited with the adventure.

The river wasn't flowing too fast. The group didn't get washed away by the stream. They followed behind O'Connell to the shore. The ship behind them was already engulfed in a flame. They could faintly made out another group also jumped off the ship.

Although none of them were particularly good with water, they managed to swim to the shore helping each other. Once they got on, Evelyn screamed. "My god! My tools, my clothes, and all my writings are gone. God!"

Land had it at ease through the whole thing. She grabbed onto Zheng during the swim while holding onto a black cat with her other hand. When they reached the shore, the cat was still staying in her arm without moving much.

Suddenly, a cunning man shouted from across the river. "O'Connell! Hey, O'Connell! Haha, it looks like you have it rough. The horses are all on this side. Haha!"

"Hey, Beni. Looks like you are on the wrong side of the river. Haha…"

P.S. Maybe also no update tomorrow. Been watching the League of Legends tournament.

Also, question for those who still remember the movie. Are the people that attacked the ship in the movie the Medjai?

They had to face reality after laughing. Without any tools for transportation, the group had to walk over half a day to reach the oasis. There were some desert plants on the way and between some chatting on the way, time wasn't unbearable.

Zheng walked beside Honglu and asked him in a low voice. "We are getting close to Hamunaptra. How much chance do you think we have?"

"What is victory condition? Avoid them? Kill them? Or finish this movie as fast as possible, eliminate Imhotep?"

"Victory condition… survive. Have the majority survive." Zheng thought about it then nodded with determination.

"The probability would be 10%, no, 7%. It's too difficult to keep everyone alive. Even without an opposing team, Imhotep alone would be difficult enough. At least I can't think of any way to eliminate him… So, follow the original plot and use the Book of Amun-Ra to bury him… As for the other team, to be honest, I am prepared to get killed. You shouldn't have too much hope. At least half our team will die…"

(At least 5 people?)

Carrying this thought, or perhaps premonition, Zheng followed O'Connell to the largest oasis. This oasis had an abundant source of fresh water. It was just like a mini city. It had most ordinary merchandise, especially camels.

The group didn't take much time. After restocking fresh water and food, and buying thirteen camels, they continued on the way to Hamunaptra. Even when they got tired, they would only take a nap on a camel. Three days and nights passed and they were closer and closer to Hamunaptra.

O'Connell and the other two characters had been living near the desert so they knew how to conserve energy. But Zheng and the others had it rough. Not only was it their first time riding camels, Jie and Zero were the only ones that had ever been to a desert. So after three days on the camel and the hotness of the desert, even Zheng was feeling rough, not to mention the others. Tengyi, Liang, Heng, and Zhuiyu were stumbling after they got off the camels.

It was another midnight. Just as the group was getting accustomed to the desert, a group of several dozen people on horses rode toward them. The leader was Beni, another person that left Hamunaptra alive.

"Good morning, my friend." Beni shouted at O'Connell when he was still quite a distance from them.

O'Connell didn't answer. He moved closer to them with the group.

An American standing behind Beni asked. "Why are we stopping? Didn't you say it's closer to Hamunaptra? Hurry up, why stop here?"

Beni replied calmly. "My friend, be patient…"

Evelyn also asked in a low voice. "What are we doing here?"

"We wait… for our destination to appear." O'Connell also answered in a low voice.

Then the American shouted. "O'Connell, do you still remember your promise when gambling that day? Whoever enters the city first gets 500 bucks… Do you want to see who enters first?"

The sun was rising as he talked. Sunlight shone on the desert and a ruin gradually appeared. This was the legendary city of the dead.

Several days of hardship on foot. Everyone was excited when they finally saw the destination.

However, it was more complicated for Zheng's group. The only way they could return was eliminating Imhotep. But in order to do that, they had to revive him. Then they would have to face both Imhotep and another team. No, they must also kill one member from the other team to save the majority of this team. Words could not describe how they were feeling right now.

Zheng's group moved over to the ruin of Hamunaptra. This was a magnificent ancient city. One could tell its glory from the remains even after several thousand years.

Once inside the Hamunaptra, the two groups settled down together. Evelyn then dragged O'Connell to search for the entrance to the underground. The Americans were also looking for their entrance. Zheng discussed with his group and decided not to go with O'Connell. In contrast, they began to explore the terrain.

"The underground tomb is only a hundred meter deep. O'Connell won't be more than 5000 meters away from us after he entered the underground. So it's ok if we don't intervene with the plot. Let's get familiar with the surroundings first."

"Zero, find a place that's suitable for sniping. Jie, Tengyi and Honglu go look for a place suitable for fighting. Best if you can record them… The rest of you keep an eye out at all directions. Fire your gun once you see an enemy… Then everyone, let's fight for our lives… At least have the majority of us go back!"

Zheng stood on top of a stone pillar looking at the desert. The height of this pillar was at least ten meters. It was probably once the center of support of a temple. It had not fallen even after thousands of years.

All there was on the desert was sand and more sand. He had been standing there for over two hours. Though he had no problem standing under sunlight for so long with his stamina.

"Hey, how much longer are you going to stand there. You probably climbed up there with the intention of avoiding me right?" It was a voice of discontentment from the bottom.

Zheng was paired with Lan. The two of them were responsible for looking out the north west side of the desert. He climbed up this pillar for convenience at overlooking the whole area, however Lan didn't have the ability to do as he did.

Seeing that Zheng didn't respond to her, she stroke the cat in her arms then shouted. "Hey! Don't try to ignore me. You're acting strange, ever since we came in this movie, you've been acting distant from me. It was the same when we were in the river. You could have carried me when we swam but why didn't you do it? You know I am carrying a cat."

Zheng couldn't help but crouched down then looked down to Lan. "I am not ignoring you. It's just that we are going to encounter another team and we are already at negative 2000 points. If we don't kill a person from their team, then we are at risk of wiping… Do you think I have to mood to say, hi let's go on a date?"

Lan looked at Zheng seriously. However she couldn't make out his expression due to the sunlight. She replied a little depressed. "Stop treating me like this, please… I've never thought about having an affair with you even though… but I have my limits, I won't destroyed someone else's relationship. You don't have to avoid me. Really… If it's because of the issue with Jie and you don't know who to trust, then you can forget about what I said for now. Can you treat me like you used to? Just like a friend…"

Zheng was silent for a moment then sighed. "Isn't it good enough right now? As a comrade, I can protect you and you can support me… This is good for both you and me, isn't it?"

The two of them fell into a silence. It was awkward as they just stared at each other. Then the sun set and the sky began to darken.

"… A mummy jumped out once we opened that coffin. For real, the mummy was still moist after several thousand years." Jonathan described their adventure inside the tomb. Zheng's group looked at each other. That mummy was probably Imhotep, just that he hadn't been revived yet.

During the night, everyone went back to their camp and ate a simple meal. They sat together and discussed what happened during the day. O'Connell and the other two characters of course talked about the tomb while Zero and the players talked about the terrain.

O'Connell waited for the players to finished then asked. "Are you planning to have a battle here? This seem like something the military would do, scouting the terrain with such detail… Bro, if there's a problem we can solve it together, how's it?"

Zheng laughed. "This is our problem, we can't drag you in… Also, you better not get too close with those Americans…"

O'Connell shrugged. "The Americans weren't lucky today. It seems like three of their guides were… melted."

"Melted?" Evelyn and Jonathan asked.

"Yes, with acid. They triggered ancient traps."

Zheng suddenly laughed. "There are true curses here and maybe ghosts or spirits."

O'Connell and the other two were silent for a bit then Evelyn yelled. "Please. There are no ghosts or curses in the world. I only believe what I see."

Jie came over and said. "We have seen real ghosts with our eyes. They're so, so scary… That ghost killed a lot of our former team members. If it wasn't luck, we might have died also. Haha…"

Lan said. "Jie, that's enough… Evelyn, it will be fine. Don't believe him. He was just joking… Jie, do you want to lose points?"

Jie laughed then shrugged. Zheng wanted to say something then suddenly he heard a large amount of horse footsteps, like over a hundred people were riding toward them.

Their expressions turned and Zheng stood up immediately. "Prepare your weapons… There's probably going to be a battle."

Just as he finished talking, ten knights in black robes came out from behind the pillars. A few of the guides the Americans hired immediately fell to the ground. The knights began shooting at the people in the camps and some of them even burned their camps and supplies with torches.

Zheng was the first to respond. He took out a submachine gun and sprayed at them. The knights in the front immediately fell off their horses. Then Jie and Zero also took out their guns and joined. Their weapons were just so much more powerful than the guns in this era. The knights couldn't even get close to them. After another ten corpses, the knights began to back out, leaving behind several dozen bodies and some injured horses.

The guides calmed down then shouted at Zheng's group with thanks. O'Connel and the other two characters looked at them in shock. The Americans just now came out from the tomb and didn't know what happened. They displayed their findings in excitement, a few glass bottles… and a book in black!

Vol 5: Chapter 4-2.

The three Americans walked over to Zheng with the glass bottles. An old professor took the black book into his tent then tried to open the book.

"Hi, O'Connell. How much do you think these are worth? Haha, I heard you found a moist mummy. That's so funny. Maybe you can dry it in the sun and use it for a fire…" One of the Americans laughed out loud.

Zheng knew that the plot was moving normally when he saw the three Americans here. Evelyn took out a few beetle shells from her bag with a sly smile. "Look at what this is. The remains of the scarabs. They are a meat eating insect. We found them inside the mummy's coffin. These scarabs can live for several years when they have a body to consume… That mummy friend of ours was eaten by these scarabs. Oh and he was alive when he was being eaten."

The Americans swallowed and felt goosebumps all over themselves. But since they were the ones that came over to initiate the conversation, it wasn't easy for them to leave. So they could only keep listening to Evelyn.

O'Connell understood her intentions and said. "Someone throw the scarabs into the coffin and let him die slowly?"

"Very, very slowly. He could feel the scarabs crawling inside his body before he died… From what I know, this punishment was called the Hom Dai curse, the most vicious curse in Egypt. They were used on the worst sinners. I never heard of it used on anyone in Egyptian history…"

One of the Americans asked in curiosity. "That's quite something. Why didn't they use this punishment? Don't you think it is… cruel?"

Evelyn rolled her eyes. "The reason they don't carry it out is because of the consequence from the punishment. The Egyptians used to believe that if the victim arise from the dead, then they would bring forth the Ten Plagues of Egypt. The revived sinner will have unparalleled strength and bring distruction to Egypt."

The Americans suffered another round of verbal violence and went back to their tents. Of course, Evelyn had her attention on that book in the professor's hands the whole time. She lay down and faked going to sleep. The other people also went to sleep soon after. The players looked at each other, they all knew what was going to happen. Evelyn would steal the Book of the Dead and accidentally read it out, reviving Imhotep.

Everyone was feeling contradicted. On one hand their mission was to eliminate Imhotep so they had to revive him first, but once he was revived, they had to face both the mummy and the other team. This feeling of knowing they were putting themselves in more danger yet they had no other choice was horrible.

As time came to midnight. Evelyn sneaked toward the professor's tent, took the book from his hand then sneaked back.

"Do you know this is called stealing?" O'Connell muttered with his eyes closed.

"But… you and my brother call this borrow." Evelyn laughed. She took out the puzzle box from her bag and placed it against the book.

O'Connell got up and asked curiously. "I thought the Book of Amun-Ra is gold colored… Never expected it to be black."

Evelyn shook her head. "The Book of Amun-Ra is gold colored but this isn't it… This is the other book, I think it's the Book of the Dead…"

O'Connell became serious. "Book of the Dead? Then why are you playing with it?"

Evelyn laughed. "It's only a book. There's no harm from reading a book…"

Zheng suddenly said from closeby. "Then you must know how to read hieroglyphics. Tengyi, you also know how to read it right?"

Both Evelyn and O'Connell were shocked. They immediately gestured Zheng to lower his voice then they heard Tengyi said. "If it's reading the characters and understanding their meaning, then I know how to do it… as long as the characters aren't too uncommon."

Evelyn roller her eyes. She flipped open the book. When she did so, a chill wind swept through them, flickering the bonefire.

Evelyn didn't pay much attention to it. She read in a low voice. "………."

Right as she finished, Zheng, Zero, and Yinkong immediately got up. They couldn't calm down due to a sense of danger. This sensation was so strong it was making them anxious. One part of the danger came from below and the other part from the hills to the west.

The old professor also woke up and shouted. "No, you can't read them!"

Zheng was the first to respond, he pulled out his knife and quickly climbed up a nearby pillar. He looked out to the west and could faintly made out a bunch of people standing on a hill. Yet due to limited vision at night, he couldn't make out how many people were there.

Pah!

Zheng instinctively moved the knife in front of his face and a rock hit the dagger. The force coming from that rock numbed his arm a bit and he fell off the pillar.

Luckily he reacted in time and kicked the pillar when he was still midair. He rolled on the ground when he landed, avoiding any injury.

The rest of the camp also woke up but before they could ask what happened, they heard the sounds of insect wings flapping from afar. Several seconds later, they finally saw what made the noise. It was a group of countless locusts flying toward them. Just the sight of it was enough to give them goosebumps.

O'Connell picked up Evelyn and followed everyone else into the tomb. Zheng was staring at the west, that sensation of danger was preventing him from even turning his head. Fortunately Jie and Zero saw it carried him into the tomb.

Afar from Hamunaptra, that sensation slowly moved away…

Vol 5: Chapter 4-3.

This was their first time entering the underground tomb. Everyone was running in panic. The players were separated during the running and by the time people calmed down there were only Zheng, Zero, Jie, Heng, Tengyi, and Zhuiyu left. The others ran into another path.

The tomb was pitch black and filled with a rotting smell. Fortunately Heng picked up a torch before he entered the tomb. Otherwise it would be difficult to even take a step.

Even so, Zhuiyu still said with dissatisfaction. "Ew, smells so disgusting. Even worse than the last time I had to film in an old temple."

The men ignored her. Zero asked. "Zheng, did you see the other team just then? How many people do they have?"

Zheng said with a bitter smile. "I didn't get a clear look. It was too far and dark… But the other team should be very strong. They threw a rock at me from that distance and I had to block it with my knife."

He held out his hand and you could see a rupture on his hand between the thumb and index finger. Although it didn't seen like a big deal but to be able to rupture Zheng with an enhanced body would require such power. Because even blocking a bullet would not had caused this.

Zheng shook his head. "I don't think they threw that rock. It would take someone that has at least ten times a normal person's strength. Furthermore it requires accuracy as good as Zero's… That was probably a magical skill, or some sci fi weapon. But I can't think of any weapon that uses rocks as bullets."

They suddenly heard a scream as they were talking. Everyone took a look at each other then pulled out their guns. Zheng, Zero, Jie, and Tengyi also swapped in the magical bullets. Heng and Zhuiyu followed closely behind them and ran toward origin of the scream.

At the same time, eleven people stood on top of a hill ten thousand meters away from Hamunaptra. A few of them were wearing typical long robes for the desert while the others were wearing monk clothes.

"Deserts are so much better, even though they don't have the smell of the dead sea but being able to touch the sands is a bless… Haha, the sea in Deep Rising can go to hell and that octopus also." A black, muscular giant man laughed.

Standing in front of him was a young monk. "Minima, how is the 80 Percentage Power enhancement from Younger Toguro? Even though it's one of the cheapest tier B enhancements but it should be quite powerful when combined with your fighting style. Did that rock hit the target?"

The giant laughed. "Yup, not bad. The power is almost terrifying. If we just kill a few more people and get my reaction speed up to par when we go back, then… Haha, I won't be scared anymore even if I have to go face to face with an Alien."

The monk laughed. He looked toward Hamunaptra and said. "… Be careful of that man. The throw had enough force and Lamu's psyche power [1] gave you the accuracy. Yet that man was still able to block the rock and avoided any damage from the fall. He's probably one of the strongest in that new team. If they have three people as strong as him… Then let's treat them as having equal power, keep a distance until the movie ends… Shanaia, how is the three newbies doing?"

A woman with white skin and dressed in typical Indian woman's clothes said respectfully. "Leader, the three newbies have been hypnotized. Arot is checking their potentials."

The monk looked behind him. There was a blonde European man in a white lab coat holding on to the chins of two men and a woman. After a minute, he said. "Leader, these three newbies are horrible, but one of them has an ok brain, probably worked in an office in the real world."

The monk moved his vision back to Hamunaptra and muttered. "Then undo his hypnosis when we go back to God's dimension. If he has no use then make him into a fodder like the other two. My summoning creature is about to level up…"

Shanaia said. "Leader, what should we do now? Go into the tomb to fight them or get in contact like usual?"

He thought for a moment. "No, Team China has just awoken. We don't know their power level and they probably don't know the conventions when encountering other teams. If we get in touch with them we may get attacked first… The plot is at unleashing the boss of this movie. We will go to Cairo first and find a chance to get in touch with them to make agreements… or wipe them!"

Zheng was moving deeper into the tomb. They've been hearing the sounds of countless little things moving on the ground ever since that first scream. As they moved deeper in, the sounds were getting louder.

Right as they made another turn, they saw O'Connell, Jonathan, and several Americans running toward them. O'Connell shouted. "Run, there are a lot behind!"

(A lot? A lot what?) Zheng and the others looked beyond them and suddenly lost the desire to ask. There were countless scarabs chasing after them. One of the guides suddenly fell to the ground and the scarabs immediately entered his body. It only took a few seconds before he was fully covered in a thick layer of scarabs. When he appeared again, he had became a skeleton.

Zheng's group of six began to run at full speed along with O'Connell. The skeleton behind them was horrifying. It was indescribable how it feels to get eaten alive.

Zheng, Zero, and Jie were running the fastest. They quickly passed by O'Connell's group then suddenly they heard someone tripped. Their hearts stopped for a moment. Zheng turned his head to look behind with panic and saw the movie star Zhuiyu was on the ground. The scarabs were just one meter away from her.

"You guys run!"

Zheng was getting so anxious that his eyes turned bloody red. Every team member that died was negative 2000 points. They couldn't afford any losses now. As Zhuiyu was about to get eaten, he overcame his fears and sprinted toward her.

He picked her up with a hand then jumped as hard as he can while his other hand grabbed onto a rock on the ceiling. He and Zhuiyu just hanged there in midair. The scarabs ran passed them from just ten centimeters below.

Just then another woman's scream echoed through the tomb.

After the scarabs ran past them, Zheng released his fingers and jumped down. Zhuiyu began to cry when she reached the ground and cursed this place and all the men as she cried. When Zheng sighed and walked deeper into the tomb she followed him while still crying.

"… All men are assholes, always walk away after toying with women. That stupid director, those stupid rich people are all dogs. I just have to lift my skirt to satisfy you and you will…"

Zheng turned around and slapped her on the face, knocking her to the ground and silencing the complains. He said to her in a cold tone. "I don't care what depressed you in the real world! But this is the world of horror movies! Stop talking full of complains, the one that just saved you is a man!"

Zhuiyu dazed for a moment. She spat out a tooth then jumped at Zheng while crying. "So what if I am talking about men? How dare you hit me! Do you believe that I will kill myself right now and drag you all along with me!"

"Fine!" Zheng took out his gun from the ring and pointed it at her head. "You want to die right? Just say it and I will help you! Don't f*cking think I am joking with you. You think we come here to play? Become strong then go back to the real world? F*ck, if you are not determined to live and just keep complaining, if I were you I will just kill myself! Say it, do you want to die?"

Zhuiyu was scared for real this time. She couldn't say a word and tears just kept falling down. Then she said with a trembling voice. "No… I don't want to die. Don't kill me. Please don't kill me!"

Zheng put his gun back then glanced at her. "Don't think of yourself so precious once you entered this world. There is only one rule to all living beings here. That is to live… Follow close to me unless you want to be sucked dry by the mummy."

Zhuiyu behaved herself afterward but her eyes were filled with hatred staring at Zheng who was running in front.

After running for a while, they heard a cry around the corner. A woman's scream followed it shortly after. It was Evelyn's voice.

Zheng thought 'shit'. He could tell what was happening there. Evelyn encountered Imhotep while he was still in his mummy form. Zheng ran toward their direction.

After they made the turn, they saw Evelyn looking into the deeper part of the path in fear. On the opposite side of her, O'Connell just came out from around the corner with the Americans and the other players.

O'Connell saw Evelyn then ran over and grabbed her. "Hurry, what are you waiting here for? There are a lot of bugs behind… wah!"

They all ran over to Evelyn then followed her vision. What they saw scared all of them.

A mummy with rotting flesh and many parts were just bones left. This mummy still had eyes but those eyes were filled with blood vessels, looking at all the people in front of him. Then he opened his mouth and shouted.

O'Connell and everyone else were dazed then he also began shouting and pulled the trigger on his rifle. Zheng and the others also began firing their guns. The mummy got shot to the ground.

After shooting the mummy away, O'Connell grabbed Evelyn and began running away. Zheng said to his team in a hurry. "Jie, bring them outside. Zero, stay with me to check on the mummy's wounds… We used magical bullets just now."

The mummy was shattered on the ground. Zheng and Zero looked at him and saw that he was quickly recovering the parts shattered by O'Connell's gun, just like a body made of sand. While the wounds that were caused by the magical bullets were still there. It wasn't until after the bullet fell out of the wound before it slowly recovered.

"It's not effective… And this is when he is still at his weakest form. After he sucked the Americans dry then he will have enough power to summon sandstorms. Then the magical bullets would become even less effective… Aye, team India probably got used to the environment by now also." Zheng said.

Zero fired a few more rounds at the mummy then said. "Let's leave this place first. We probably can't kill him until we get the Book of Amun-Ra… Let's think about team India first. Are they strong?"

Zheng fired at the mummy again then turned around and began to run back the way he came. "Yes, very strong… And they didn't come to Hamunaptra like we planned. I can sense that they were getting farther and farther away. I don't know if they are waiting to ambush us in the front. Haha, Zero, do you believe that I can lead everyone back alive?"

"Nope." Zero was running behind him and answered calmly. "We won't be able to all live. Someone will definitely die… but I believe that you will keep leading us, at least you won't abandon anyone and run away alone."

"Is that so? Haha, that's disappointing… Then, let me continue to lead you guys. No matter if we live or die, I will not abandon my comrades!"

The mummy shouted again behind the two of them…

Once Zheng and Zero exited the tomb, he instinctively raised his gun, because there were several dozen men in black pointing their guns at the two of them. His team, O'Connell, and the Americans were all under their control.

O'Connell laughed. "See, I told you I already killed the mummy. You are making a fuss about nothing!"

Zheng sighed and said. "No, the mummy is not dead. He's a monster, normal bullets are useless against him. No, all types of bullets should be useless against him."

No one aside from the players knew what he was saying. The leader of the men in black, a man with a tattoo on his face, said. "All of you leave this place at once! Don't ever come back… This is the city of the dead. If you come back again, I don't mind making you dead!" Then he led his group down into the tomb.

To be honest, after what they just experienced, no one wanted to stay here. So they went back to their camp quietly and packed their stuff. Then left on their horses and camels.

The players followed at the back of the group. It wasn't until now that they had a chance to look at their watch. Usually once the plot started moving forward, their restrictions would also disappear. And of course they were no longer restricted by distance when they look at their watch.

Zheng said. "Now that we are not restricted by distance, what should be do next? Wait here for team India? Since we are more familiar with this place… or follow O'Connell and go along with the original plot? Honglu, do you have any suggestion?"

Honglu was riding on a camel in the center of the group. He replied calmly. "No, I don't have any good suggestion, but I have two questions… 1. What is team India's mission? Eliminate Imhotep or something else?"

"2. Does team India also know of the special effect of the Book of the Dead and want to obtain it?"

Zheng was confused. "What do you mean by special effect?"

Tengyi said with a little embarrassment. "When I came out from the tomb, I picked up the book and took a look. The moment I touched the book, I received a notification from God about obtaining a quest item… It said I can learn black magic. If I know hieroglyphs then it won't cost any points, otherwise every spell costs 1000 points. But I must return to God's dimension to learn it…"

They all looked at Tengyi in surprise. Then Honglu said. "Even though I don't know the reason but we can also use Book of the Dead. Oh, does it take a lot of points to learn a spell in God's dimension?"

Lan replied. "Not only points but also lots of ranked rewards. Like I have two simple spells that can increase your stats temporarily, yet it took me several thousand points and rank D rewards. Offensive spells will need rank C or even B rewards to learn. Only 1000 points for one…"

Tengyi said humbly. "I'm sorry… I can read hieroglyphs."

Everyone fell into a silence then after a minute Zheng, Zero and Jie pulled out their guns, Yinkong also took out her dagger. They controlled their camels to run over to the Americans… The Book of the Dead was currently in the hands of the professor.

The Americans didn't notice the group until Zheng moved in front of them and blocked their way. That was when they saw the guns in shock.

"Hey, bro, this isn't funny…" One of the Americans shouted.

Zheng sprayed at the ground in front of them and they stopped their horses. Everyone aside from the professor also put up their hands… They had seen the power of these guns, which were enough to tear them apart at such close distance.

Zheng said in a calm voice. "I don't want to say much. Hand me the Book of the Dead. It isn't useful to you… And the mummy will come after you if you have it. I think you don't want to see that monster anymore right? Give me the Book of the Dead… I can give you gold in exchange."

The Americans were giving each other signs, preparing to take out their guns at any moment. The professor held onto the book tightly, and stared at Zheng.

Once they heard the word 'gold', the Americans' eyes lit up. "Gold… how much gold?"

O'Connell and the other characters also came over to the Americans, but Zheng ignored them. He took out a gold bar from the ring and said. "Ten gold bars like this just for a book. Do you think it's worth it?" Then he threw the gold over.

An American catched the gold bar anxiously. It felt heavy as he held it. It was real gold, several fingers thick.

He pinched it then bit it with his teeth then said to his partner. "Real, it's real… this is a real gold bar!"

The other American also took over the gold and did the same thing then he looked at Zheng with greed. "Ten… fifteen gold bars! Give me fifteen gold bars then we have a deal!"

"Ok, fifteen!"

Zheng didn't care. He took out another gold bar from the ring and as he was going to take out another one, an American suddenly pulled out his gun. However he didn't point it at Zheng but instead he shot the professor at once. Then the American grabbed the book from the professor's hand.

The Book of the Dead was stained with blood…

Vol 5: Chapter 5-3.

Zheng threw fifteen gold bars on the ground and looked coldly as they were overjoyed with the gold bars. He took over the book with one hand. A thick and black old book.

The book absorbed the blood within several seconds just like a sponge. Yet nothing changed about it. It felt cold to the touch.

"Obtained quest item… Enabled learning of black magic. The user requires blood energy, psyche force, mana, Nen, Xian energy, or faith energy to learn. Can learn through deciphering the words or through God. Learning costs 1000 points… User holding onto this book in the movie will be able to use the spells in the book."

Zheng was standing there in a daze. He had received God's notification and they totally shocked him.

Enhancements were expensive, and learning skills were even more expensive. His Red Flame spell was one of the lowest tiered spell for vampires but it still cost him a rank C reward and 2000 points. Compared to enhancements, skills were more effective in combats.

"How's it?" Jie ran over to him when he saw Zheng in a daze.

Zheng didn't know what to say and just laughed. "Shit… we hit the lottery… This book is so thick, don't know how many skills it has. And they're also black magic, spells that should be aimed at killing. Haha…"

Everyone came up to him. O'Connell and the characters were confused but also came up. The two Americans packed their gold then carried the American that was injured by the mummy away on horses.

Zheng let everyone touch the book. All the veterans looked shocked while the newbies thought they were making a big deal out of nothing. Honglu asked. "Is it expensive to learn spells?"

Zheng nodded. "Very expensive. Not only spells but anything that can improve your combat abilities instantly is expensive… It takes both a large amount of points and also ranked rewards. This book is equivalent to a high power level. Once we can use the spells within it, we can instantly improve our team by several folds!"

Honglu touched the book with curiosity then he crouched down to play with the sand.

"Those blood energy, psyche force, mana… what are they?" He asked.

Zheng answered. "I don't know about the others but blood energy came with my vampire enhancement. It's highly corrosive and difficult to use. Blood spells are also very expensive…"

Honglu sighed. "I think I get it… This book is a double edged sword, at least for now. Possessing it means danger… First, Imhotep will chase us to get back the book. Second…"

"Do you think team India knows of its existence? Even though it belonged to the movie world but you get a notification once you touch it. Judging by the value of the book, team India would want to get their hands on it no matter what. They're very likely to go all out on us…"

The others looked at him in confusion. Jie asked. "Aren't we going to fight them already? We have to kill one of their member anyway, otherwise most of our team will be erased at the end."

"There are many ways to fight. Like snipe, ambush, set traps, hit and run… but if they know of the secrets of the book already then they will probably monitor the movie characters. Once they found out that the book is gone, they can figure out we have the book. We won't be able to ambush them anymore. And there's one more thing I am worried about…"

Honglu pulled another hair and said with a bitter smile. "… If you can learn black magic from the Book of the Dead, then… what about the Book of Amun-Ra? What spells can you learn from the golden book? I think it should be on the same level as this one. If team India knows of the secrets of these two books already, I can only think of two possibilities. 1. They plan to ambush us in Cairo then follow the original plot to eliminate Imhotep and obtain these two books. 2. They ambush us in Cairo and take our book then come back here to find the Book of Amun-Ra. This is is what I am worried about the most… do they have the same mission as us?"

Honglu stood up and clapped his hands. "Our mission is to eliminate Imhotep. What if their mission is to protect him or… kill the main characters of the movie? They might be able to force this movie to end before we can kill one of them. What should we do at that point when most people has negative points?"

Zheng was silent for a bit then he looked around at everyone. "Let's test the power of the Book of the Dead first. Black magic sounds powerful enough… Evelyn, lend me that puzzle of yours."

The three movie characters were standing there in confusion. They didn't know what Zheng's group was discussing. When Zheng said to them, Evelyn quickly found the puzzle from her bag. It was the key to the book.

Zheng took the puzzle and opened the book then he handed it to Tengyi.

This man took it with excitement. He touched the hieroglyphs on the pages while pronouncing them and explaining their meanings. It had been ten minutes and he was still going at it.

"Tengyi! What did it say? It's not time for research." Zheng sighed.

Tengyi scratched his head with embarrassment. "Sorry, I got lost. Haha, it's really hieroglyphs. Some of these characters are similar to oracle bone script…"

Zheng and everyone else sighed. Then he shouted. "I am not asking you what these characters look like. What is written on the book?"

Tengyi nodded. "Yes, yes. There are a lot of ancient spells. Like this passage is about creating a sand man. You just have to read it aloud while mixing the ashes of a person with sand. It will summon several mummy guards. And this passage is about creating a storm using souls, which will turn to a tornado. This passage…"

Zheng grabbed the book from his hands and said. "Translate it to me line by line… Read the tornado one."

Tengyi nodded. He touched the characters on the book and said. "Souls of storm, listen to the command of Osiris, form a tornado to tear everything apart!"

Zheng repeated the words but nothing happened. His blood energy was also intact and the desert was calm as usual.

"No use?"

They looked at each other with disappointment, because this book was their biggest hope in their situation. If they could make use of the powerful spells on the book, then they would be able to rival team India. Yet this book didn't have the power they imagined or was it unusable at the current state?

Suddenly a thought came to his mind, Zheng said. "Read it in ancient Egyptian pronunciation. I will repeat it."

Tengyi took a deep breath and began reading again. Zheng also repeated the difficult pronunciations. Then he was certain that this book was real. As he recited the words, his blood energy began to get excited. Several seconds later, the blood energy was channeling into the book at crazy speed.

Zheng felt the book was boiling hot. He almost wanted to throw it away but the book glued to his hand and wouldn't move. Tengyi on the other hand was knocked away with a scream. The book glowed in a faint red light, although it wasn't obvious under the sunlight.

Zheng's blood energy was getting more and more excited until all of them went into the book. The book then began to cool down and he could feel an air of coldness. Yet Zheng fainted after he was depleted of blood energy. He didn't notice the tornado that was forming at a thousand meters away. It quickly picked up the sands and engulfed everyone like a sandstorm…

Zheng opened his eyes after quite some time. There was no more sand and the sky was sunny and clear, not even a little wind.

Zheng sat up and noticed he was tied up on the back of a camel. They were moving along on the desert. It was as though what he saw before he fainted was just an illusion.

When the others saw Zheng sat up, they shouted everyone to stop. Jie and Lan got off their camels and went over to him. Jie untied him with a laugh. Lan handed him some water.

"How long did I pass out? The sun is about to set… Was the tornado that I saw before I fainted an illusion?" Zheng took a few gulps of water then asked.

Jie said. "You passed out for a whole day and night. This is the evening of the second day… The tornado you said was definitely an illusion. I promise! Haha."

Zheng looked at the other people and they all nodded. "Right, how can something like that be created by a human… But the book still made me pass out, so it should be real."

Zero also drank some water and said. "Of course it's real… You didn't summon a tornado but I don't know what you did or maybe you didn't know how to control your energy. You summoned a sandstorm. If it isn't for the camels leading the way, we would have been buried in sand by now…"

"The power of the Book of the Dead exceeded our expectation." Honglu said with excitement. "As long as you can control your energy and not let the book suck you dry… It will be able to let us wipe team India!"

Zheng looked at the hand that was holding onto the book. There was a very faint symbol on his palm. The symbol that was on the cover of the book, a symbol that represented Osiris.

Vol 5: Chapter 6-2.

In the following two days, Zheng practiced using the Book of the Dead. He was fainting less and less until he could finally control the flow of blood energy. They had reached the oasis by this time and restocked their food and water then continued along the river to the next port.

"Take the boat back to Cairo from there, takes about… two days. Then we will board the ship leaving Cairo. Don't worry, I don't think that monster will chase us across water." O'Connell laughed as he explained.

O'Connell went through so much shock these two days. The Book of the Dead was merely an antique to them. Perhaps it was valuable as an ancient literature but they never thought it would had such power to summon sandstorms or quicksands or wither all the plants in an area. After Zheng got a hold of the book, he looked like a mage or wizard from legends.

Evelyn also tried to read the book but unlike when Zheng did it, nothing happened. There was no magic or anything else. She did not stop and kept at it for over an hour before she admitted she didn't have the talent to become a wizard.

Zheng looked at the symbol on his palm in a daze. This sigil emitted a cooling sensation to reduce the heat during the channeling of blood energy through his hand to the book. It had no other effect but it appeared on his palm like a birthmark.

"Zheng? Zheng!"

A voice woke Zheng up. That was when he realized Jie, Zero and everyone else was surrounding him. It was Jie that woke him up and they were looking at him in confusion. "Sorry, my mind was wandering. What were we up to?"

Honglu twirled his hair and said. "The magics in the book are focused around the desert. Though if we are to use it to kill a few people in the city, they would not be so effective. We have also tested several single target spells like corruption. It is powerful but it takes too much energy and also twenty seconds of channeling. That's enough time for the enemy to run away or attack. The spell also only has a range of 500 to 1000 meters. To be honest, if we can't cast the spell with proficiency, it is worse than the Gauss sniper rifle."

"So the true value of the book isn't on its offensive spells but rather supportive spells. Like the one that summons the dead and gives the caster invisibility. Or the one that mixes human ashes with sand to create several guards. These powers are especially important and can change the tide of battle…"

Heng joined the conversation. "Human ashes? Where can we get that?"

Everyone looked at Evelyn. She didn't give up on the book and was eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time. Although the players were talking in Chinese, a well learned person like her could understand the language. When they looked at her after saying human ashes, her face turned pale and went into defensive mode. "What, what are you trying to do? You going to turn me into ashes?"

O'Connell and Jonathan's expressions also changed. Zheng immediately waved his hand and laughed. "Don't worry, how could we do that. As to human ashes, do you still remember what the Americans said in Hamunaptra?"

Evelyn and the other two people said simultaneously. "Dry up the mummy and turn it into firewood… you want to turn a mummy into ashes?"

Zheng thought it was funny that they all said it simultaneously. "Yes, yes. Evelyn you work in a museum right? It shouldn't an issue to steal one or two mummies. If you can't do it then ask the curator for us."

Evelyn said loudly. "How is it possible? They are historical relics. Do you know how much they are worth? Each one of them is a story…"

The greedy Jonathan quickly covered his sister's mouth and said with a smile. "How much are you willing to pay? If you are paying with gold, I can 'borrow' some mummies for you. How's it? Let's discuss a price."

Zheng and O'Connell shook their heads with a smile. O'Connell coughed and said. "I, ahem, we can help you get the mummies but we have some terms… We don't need gold but you have to kill that mummy chasing us. I think it isn't difficult for you since you have the Book of the Dead right?"

Zheng replied seriously. "We are planning to kill it anyway whether you believe it or not. But we need your help, like… we need the Book of Amun-Ra to kill it… We need you to help us find the book."

O'Connell looked at Evelyn and Jonathan. These two people kept giving him signals, one wanted him to refuse stealing the mummies, and the other wanted him to request gold. O'Connell smiled bitterly and moved over to Zheng. Then he held out his hand and said. "Ok! I accept your request. We will help you get the Book of Amun-Ra and you will be responsible with killing the mummy!"

"We will definitely do it… if we don't die before that…"

The group finally reached the port at downstream. This was a commercial port. Most ships were cargo ships but there were the occasional tourists leaving sightseeing cruises. Though it was difficult to board cruise from this port. Of course, difficult was relative.

Zheng still had two gold bars and many more gold nuggets. Just a few of those gold nuggets got them on sightseeing cruise and even several VIP cabins. Money makes the mare go, and if you have more money you can make the mare fly.

Following the stream, they would reach Cairo by tomorrow evening. Fate and unknown enemies were waiting for them there… Would they live or die or struggle with their lives for that last bit of light?

Zheng brought a bottle of tequila to the deck. He barely had the chance for such tranquility since he entered this world. In order to prevent what happened last time, he held onto the Book of the Dead himself. Even if someone wanted to see it or if Tengyi needed to do translations for him, he would not let the book leaves his reach. No one could win a fight and take the book from him at such close distance, not even when Zero and Yinkong teamed up.

"You drinking?" It was Jie's voice from the other side of the deck.

Without turning his head, Zheng took out another bottle of tequila from the ring. Jie sat down and opened the bottle then took a gulp.

"Are you… feeling tire already?" Jie drank half the bottle at one go then lay down on the deck.

"Uh? Yeah, tired." Zheng sighed and also took a big gulp. The alcohol quickly made him feel hot.

"Because death may come at any moment?" Jie asked after a moment of silence.

Zheng finished the bottle in one go then threw it off the cruise. "Everyone can die at any moment. After being on the brink of death for so long, aside from the bonds with people I love making me live on, life and death don't matter that much anymore. Like the me before couldn't disregard someone's life so lightly, and just take it away so easily… What really makes me tire is having to fight on one hand and guard against my comrades on the other hand. If I can't even leave my back to my comrades without worrying, that's the real reason I am tired."

"If… if…" Jie then also finished his bottle then muttered the words. "Bro. Have you even wondered why team India is stronger than us? The team names are assigned based on their regions in ancient times. Team India includes India, West Indies, and all the land west extending to the Dead Sea and Saudi Arabia. Whereas team China included all the land from China. We have the most land and population among all the teams in God's World. Then… why are we weaker than team India? Aren't you curious?"

Zheng took out another bottle of alcohol then said calmly. "That's why I have been waiting for you…"

"If… give me some time. If you can live through this time against team India, I will tell you everything. Afterward… no, there's no afterward. Want to take a smoke?"

Jie finished his sentence then took out a pack of cigarettes. He threw one over to Zheng then lit his cigarette and began to smoke. Zheng caught the cigarette and felt as if he was back to Resident Evil when he just met Jie. That cold man and that cigarette…

In Cairo. Everyone's mind changed since the first time they were in Cairo. Knowing that team India had come, knowing that they were the stronger team, and we still had to kill one of their team member… But the existence of the Book of the Dead had given them hope. Describing how they felt in one word, complicated.

O'Connell said to Zheng after they got off the cruise. "According to our deal, we will go get the mummies… and you will kill that monster. Of course, we will also be responsible for the Book of Amun-Ra… but you must protect us in the mean time. Ok?"

Zheng nodded. "Ok, we will protect you… from afar. After you bring the mummies out, we will contact you. Oh, you should bring a cat. It can help you avoid getting attacked by that mummy."

O'Connell shouted as Zheng's group was walking away. "Where are you going? How do we contact you? Hey…"

"We will come find you. Don't get too close to us, you may die… And O'Connell, thanks for your help all this time. See you."

Several people were sitting in a room quietly in some inn in Cairo. A girl who had her eyes closed the whole time said. "Team China came back to Cairo. They are by the port."

These people were sitting with their legs crossed around a monk. The monk said. "Who's close by?"

A tall and slender man with pale skin took out a hand sized device and took a look. "Minima (changed from Yinima) and Muhammad Joseph."

The monk frowned. "Minima's burst is too powerful and may cause disturbance. Muhammad's weapon is also not suitable for fighting in a city… Just have them test team China's powers. Also get Arot over there as soon as possible. If those two get injured, Arot can keep them alive. It shouldn't be a problem with his medical abilities… Test team China's powers, lets see whether they are preys or enemies on equal grounds."

Zheng and O'Connell's groups split up in the port. Then they moved toward Cairo while they discussed a plan on the way.

"Just like what we planned yesterday, leaving the newbies out, the six of us will be assigned the following responsibilities. Jie and Zero in a group. Zero will be responsible for sniping, and Jie protect him. Yinkong and Lan in a group. Yinkong responsible for the assassinations, Lan give her support through acceleration and endurance spells. Me and Tengyi together. I will be responsible for close combat. Tengyi help me with the incantations that I haven't remembered… Any objections? If no then this will be how we fight. We will use the communication devices that we just exchanged. They can also show us the locations of everyone." Zheng said.

Honglu asked immediately. "Let me see the device… If they can show the locations of our team, what happens if they get in the hands of the other team? How you considered this?"

Zheng laughed. "Of course. That's why I am going to set a pass code. If someone with the device close in on us but doesn't know the pass code, then it's an opportunity to set a trap… Uh. we can't let non team members know this pass code. We will put the three of them in a group and we will monitor them in turns. If they do anything that may put our team in danger… Kill them at once. Even if it means another 2000 points."

Liang, Heng, and Zhuiyu shivered as they heard this. Honglu nodded. "Then… let me stay with them. We don't need the communication device but when we are not in a battle, you need to have a group to protect us. It's best if no one dies… but if the team is in a desperate situation, you can use the four of us as baits. This is what we agreed on in the beginning."

Zhuiyu immediately yelled. "Wh-what are you joking? The six of them are so strong and have weapons and that communication device. Why do we normal people still have to act as baits? That's just pushing us into hell. Hey! Why are you looking at me like this? I'm just stating the facts."

Honglu didn't even glance at her. He sneered and said calmly. "Because of the lack of power… that's why we are the first ones to die. This isn't the real world, where the weak will get protected. Every action we take is for surviving. If all our major combatants die, our chances of dying is a hundred percent. Team India won't let the 'living points' get away. Understand?"

Zhuiyu was dazed, then her face turned red. "But you still should to choose someone with good enough stamina as a bait. I won't be that bait no matter what. You will get penalized by 2000 points if I die right?"

Honglu pulled a string of hair then sneered. "Ladies first… I think the other two are thinking the same thing. If you don't agree, the four of us can decide it by votes."

Zheng looked at them quietly as he sighed within his heart. This boy's actions were too much like Xuan, except he still had a little bit of humanness. Xuan was too rational that he ignored everything else. They both like to place themselves on the side of the majority. Thus making what they were doing the 'right' thing. This was probably what smart people like to do.

Zheng, Zero, Yinkong, and Jie suddenly looked beyond the crowd. There was a giant, muscular, dark skinned man and a man with a big beard standing outside the crowd. A very unique feeling attracted their attention.

"… He's definitely from team India. Very strong sensation of wanting to kill us… Urgent situation. We may get sniped standing here. Not sure if there are anyone else from their team around us. Or we may have been surrounded… Zero, lead everyone away… Lan, give Yinkong and me buffs. Honglu, think of a way to get away from them… Yinkong, keep the bigbeard busy. Try to kill him but don't put yourself in danger. I will take on the muscular man."

Zheng made the assignments immediately. Through several movies and guidance from Xuan, he had established himself as a leader. Even though he wasn't too qualified, he was developing the qualities of a leader.

The muscular man laughed out loud and said to bigbeard. "Joseph, their responses are quick. I wonder how strong they are. Have you chosen your target?"

A red assault rifle suddenly appeared on his hand. There was also a dagger on the rifle, a dagger that Yinkong threw at it. "Don't have to choose, they have chosen it for us… The usual rules, whoever kills their target first wins. Loser exchanges 1000 worth of stuff for the other. Seems like I have the advantage."

"Haha, not so sure. Don't get castrated by accident…"

The muscular man laughed then raised his fist and punched the ground, knocking the rocks away. The flying rocks were almost as powerful as bullets, instantly killing about ten civilians. The rocks also blocked Zheng's vision. Right as he was using the dagger to block these rocks, a black object blocked the sunlight on top of him. That muscular man was holding a boulder several cubic meters big and crushed down on him.

Vol 5: Chapter 7-2.

Zheng didn't intend to go all out immediately. He jumped backward as the man swung the boulder to the ground in front of him with a loud bang. It pressed over half a meter deep into the ground. Not only that but he immediately lifted the boulder up again.

Zheng raised his gun then shot at the man's chest. At such close distance, even Zheng himself would not be able to dodge but the muscular man stood there and took all the shots. The bullets only barely penetrated his skin before they were caught in between his muscles.

"Haha. Come again. Come attack me! You skinny monkey!"

He laughed then threw the boulder away. The muscles on his body began to expand until he reached almost three meters tall. The bullets on his chest were pushed out by his muscle. Then he took out a pair of chained claws (fist weapon) from his pockets.

"Chinese monkeys, come play. Too bad you are too skinny, as skinny as a monkey…"

The man laughed then threw a little rock he was holding. The rock shot by Zheng's side like a bullet. It had enough power but its accuracy was horrible. The two of them were only seven meters away from each other but the rock still missed him by at least a meter. Then it crushed the wall of a house behind Zheng, creating a cloud of dust.

(Low accuracy? But its power…)

Zheng turned around and ran toward the cloud of dust behind him. The muscular man was lost for a moment then he charged at Zheng while shouting. He was so powerful that each step he took pressed several centimeters into the ground. Then he had to pull his foot out, making he looked like he was stumbling.

Although the man's running looked strange, his speed was incredible. Even with the acceleration buff on Zheng, he was merely faster than the muscular man by a bit. The two of them ran into the cloud of dust then went straight at the wall on the other side of the house.

The muscular man hit the wall with his body then he felt a sudden pain on his left arm. Almost instantly, he punched left with his right arm, causing a burst of air and dispersed most of the dust in the air. On the man's left side, Zheng jumped backward barely scraping by the fist. Zheng was holding a knife dripping of blood.

As soon as Zheng landed, he felt difficulty breathing. Although that punch didn't land on him, the air pressure it caused was enough to feel the effect. If it were to land, he would probably be critically injured or straight up die. He just felt lucky as he thought of this.

The muscular man wasn't so lucky. His left arm was almost cut off, including the bone. Only a fifth of his muscles were still holding onto his arm. His muscle was tougher than steel, that even bullets weren't able to penetrate it, but the progressive knife was able to cleave at the molecular level. As long as the object's molecular bond strength wasn't strong enough, the knife could cleave through it.

But the muscular man was tough. He grabbed his left arm as he shouted then pulled it in two. When his muscles were pulled apart, it sounded like a spring snapped. You could imagine how tough his muscles were. Even more terrifying was that he endured the pain and threw his arm to the ground. Then he struck the wall next to him with his right fist.

Zheng was about to run in for an attack, yet numerous bricks and rocks flew to him like bullets. He immediately used his knife to block them. He only blocked a few bricks before his right hand was feeling numb.

(No, can't tank it through… Lets test the power of Red Flame (blood magic))

Once Zheng was decided, he blocked the next few rocks then jumped backward. The muscular man was charged at him like a madman at the same time. Zheng kept running backward without stopping until he reached a wall and jumped up. The muscular man was like a tank. He charged the wall, crushing it and creating a cloud of dust. Then he punched upward, sending the bricks and rocks flying. A red light flashed inside the cloud of dust. Zheng was descending from mid air with his knife engulfed in blood colored flame.

The muscular man immediately rolled to the side. The knife only caught his left arm, taking the remaining part of the arm. The flame also spread to his left shoulder. Yet at the same time, the man's fist struck Zheng on his right shoulder. Sending him flying through two houses before he stopped.

It was like the muscular man went berserk. He began to charge again but a man jumped down from a roof. This was a slender blonde European in his thirties wearing in a doctor's lab coat. His speed was incredible. He appeared next to the muscular man in an instant.

The muscular man was losing his senses and struck at the doctor without thinking. The doctor dodged to the side and with a flash of silvery light, he made a thin little cut on the muscular man's arm. Then the arm just hung there without strength. It wasn't until now that the muscular man saw who this was. Then he shouted. "Arot! Why did you attack me? Go chase that dude, I already hit him!"

Arot sneered. "Stop joking. He kicked at your belly the instant you hit him and jumped off. Even though it seemed like you caused a powerful attack, he only took thirty percent of the damage… And do you want to die?" He moved to the muscular man's left side and cut off a large section of his left shoulder, including the bone.

The man was going to curse but then he saw that the cut off section was burning. The flame consumed the flesh and bone almost instantly and turned them into ashes before it disappeared.

"That person probably has vampire enhancement… This ability looks like Red Flame. Do you still remember the vampire enhancer from team South Atlantic? Leave him to leader… Also, our probe mission is over…"

"Muhammad Joseph was caught!"
