Chapter 10, Nightmare

This process is complex and lengthy, typically requiring three hours or even longer

Han Dong returned to the familiar University of Florence

Just as the interview was halfway through, Wang Po's old partner, Uncle Liu, suddenly stepped forward. He interrupted the interview, stating that someone at 'Wangzigang' was possessed and urgently needed to perform a ritual to exorcise the spirit

This is the first time in over seven years that Han Dong has fallen asleep since his rebirth

After the countdown of 72 hours ends, the survivors will be teleported away

As long as it does not affect the master's practice, I do not mind; it is just that... dinner may not be prepared sufficiently

As he fell into a deep sleep, Han Dong was greeted by a strange dream.

Everything is ready

In the past, a farmhouse was operated here, and the business was quite good. However, it was abandoned a few years ago due to the relocation of the tourist area

The USB port unexpectedly transformed into a slimy tentacle and inserted itself into the 'fleshy' multimedia device

For example, flashlights, compressed biscuits, mineral water, and so on, for emergencies

Without any understanding of the movie's plot

As for her sister Chen Li, her situation is rather special; she appears to be completely normal during the day, only experiencing episodes at night

According to Han Dong and others, the so-called 'Prince Hill' is the location where this incident occurred

Meanwhile, all the students in the tiered classroom raised their heads, lifting their hoods to reveal faces devoid of features.

The young man's name is Da Qing, while the possessed woman's name is Chen Li

Learning the sleep techniques of World War II pilots, Han Dong leaned against the window and quickly fell asleep, completely relaxing his body

According to Daqing, they have already seen a doctor in the city... The diagnosis was schizophrenia, but Chen Li firmly believes that she is not schizophrenic, but rather that something is 'inhabiting' her body

Between 23:00 and 06:00, if two individuals are simultaneously present in a room, the first instance will result in a warning, and the second instance will lead to erasure

Unlike in the past, in the face of the tedious and monotonous cell biology course, not a single student skipped class, and the large lecture hall was completely filled.

Han Dong, on the other hand, is different

The six members of the filming crew, the Wang couple, and the possessed woman Chen Li

Taking advantage of the time the Wang couple spent organizing their necessary luggage, the group used the five hundred yuan provided by the system to purchase a series of essentials locally

2. No group living is allowed; please choose a room to sleep in individually

The possessed individual is a seemingly gentle long-haired woman from the countryside, whose appearance is entirely normal; she even takes on the responsibilities of washing and cooking vegetables

Uncle Liu, taking into account the issue with the filming crew, procured a relatively spacious van, which can comfortably accommodate six people in the back row

The two-story bungalow was formerly used as an inn, with the second floor divided into eight separate guest rooms, and the connecting staircase located in the center

A row of large red lanterns hangs neatly in the corridor on the second floor, appearing somewhat eerie in the night.

As the crowd disembarked from the van, a young man, around thirty years old, with an honest appearance, stepped forward to greet Wang Po, while simultaneously asking, "Master, who are these?"

Accompanied by a sudden ringing in his ears, Han Dong abruptly awoke

Han Dong woke up just as the vehicle arrived at the scene of the incident - "Wangzigang", in front of the abandoned farmhouse.

In a dream

In fact, equipping such ordinary weapons is unnecessary, as events involving malevolent spirits cannot be resolved with a knife. Carrying such items may instead hinder one's actions

Returning a favor is a ritual that consumes a great deal of energy and spirit, and can only be done tomorrow

After a series of evasions and negotiations

The method is to find a substitute (usually a paper effigy) to transfer one's diseases and pains onto the substitute, in order to achieve the goal of healing

Daqing hopes that Wang Po can transfer the entity residing within her sister's body to the paper figure by means of 'returning the person'

Han Dong quickly stepped forward and politely said: "It's alright, we have brought our own food. Let Wang Po and Uncle Liu have their meal, there's no need to worry about us"

This is the general situation

Wang Po's statement implies that everyone must stay here for one night

Night falls

In front of the van stands an old, nearly abandoned, elongated bungalow.

As everyone gazed at this dilapidated building through the lathe

The students are all wearing hooded jackets, with their hoods pulled up, obscuring their faces.

Wang Po is still somewhat unwilling, after all, Wangzigang is a remote place that is quite far away, requiring at least five hours of driving.

The international students filming the documentary will document the entire process of 'returning the favor'... Is that alright with you?

According to Wang Po, it is essentially a form of exorcism

Bald Deleon even purchased a machete for self-defense

At that moment, a strange scene unfolded

Han Dong, who had just awakened from a nightmare, felt somewhat uncomfortable, with his hands tightly shoved into his waist bag, his expression unusually... It seemed as though he was deliberately hiding something

Exactly occupied the second floor of the bungalow adorned with large red lanterns

Daqing said enthusiastically: "Alright... I will take you to the room on the second floor to rest. The conditions here are not very good, and I hope everyone can make do with it"

After dinner, let us get straight to the point

As Han Dong walked to the podium, he habitually took out a USB drive and plugged it into the interface of the multimedia device

1. The activity area for all participants is the "Abandoned Villa" and its surrounding radius of 500 meters. If an individual leaves the designated area for more than ten seconds, they will be erased.

What is even more strange is that

The young man living here introduced himself and explained the situation regarding the possession. It was understood that the young man has a sibling relationship with the possessed woman.

The crowd could only follow Wang Po, obtaining as much information as possible through the translator Han Dong

The client and the possessed individual are currently residing in this bungalow

If one can sleep for five hours before an event to replenish their energy, then regardless of any strange occurrences during the night, they will be able to focus their mind to analyze and address the situation

The cell biology presentation that was supposed to be displayed on the projection screen has transformed into a strange symbol that Han Dong cannot understand

... ...

However, as soon as I heard my partner mention that the 'price issue' had been settled, I quickly calculated the time and prepared to set off, expecting to arrive before evening.

A five-hour journey is entirely sufficient for a nap in a van... However, due to worries, anxiety, and an innate fear of death, most people find it difficult to fall asleep during the drive, staring blankly at the pastoral scenery outside the window

From the communication process, it was understood that Wang Po primarily engages in 'fortune telling' and 'repaying debts', the latter of which Han Dong heard for the first time.

It cannot be done now, as the night is too heavy with negative energy, and the entity residing within your sister may not be able to be drawn out... Moreover, it is quite exhausting to come over on short notice

Entering the lecture hall while holding the teacher's manual

Arrived at the event area, the countdown has begun, the relevant requirements are as follows

Everyone successfully entered the first-floor hall of the bungalow and encountered the object of this possession.

During the event, you are free to communicate and interact with the characters in the storyline without any restrictions

Next, simply wait for arrival at the destination

Due to the demands of previous research experiments requiring him to reverse his day and night cycle, he has been able to automatically adjust his biological clock to a certain extent, and he has also learned a rapid sleep method from the internet

Unlike the possessed individuals who are imagined to be bound to a large bed or locked in a room, screaming, self-harming, or consuming insects

Faceless
