Chapter 13: Imitation
Chapter 13: Imitation
Breakfast time.
Sister and brother Chen Li prepared a generous portion of omelette noodles for everyone.
Wang couple and the five members of the team were gathered here.
Except for Edward and Han Dong who were behaving normally, the other team members more or less seemed not normal....
After putting the bowl down, the grandmother spoke.
"The Returning Ceremony is scheduled to take place at the end of the 6th hour, in Chen Li's room.
I now need to prepare in advance and set up the ceremony site... I will inform you all to come up when the time comes.
During the setting up period, no one is allowed to enter except for my partner.
Any rashness might scare away the 'replacement child', got it?"
" En."
More than two hours remain until the ceremony opens.
Edward suggested an action to borrow this time to identify the 'movable area'.
Considering the bungalow that housed the [Sinister Chen Li], it could develop into an extremely dangerous area at a later stage.
Furthermore, the system also gave a five hundred meter radius of the movable area.
It was necessary to confirm the general situation of the area in advance and draw a detailed map.
Newspaper Boy-Herbert stated that he usually learned mapping from his father in addition to selling newspapers, and as long as the area wasn't too large, he could draw a more accurate map once he walked through it.
"Captain...I'm not feeling well," Han Dong said.
Edward stared at Han Dong's thin, yellowish flesh and smiled, "Then you can stay in your room and rest, leave the mapping to us."
"Thank you."
There was no one to replace Han Dong as the team's translator.
No one had an opinion about him wanting to rest to his face either.
As Edward led the team away, Han Dong took a deep breath and prepared to launch his plan.
There was indeed nothing wrong with Edward's 'non-intervention' proposition on the surface. It really seemed to be the safest and most secure way to save his life.
But there was a problem in itself.
That was whether 'Edward' was really trustworthy?
In an event with a frighteningly high mortality rate, it would be foolish to just wait for the danger to arrive without your own thoughts, without a little back-up and response plan.
Han Dong was actually somewhat similar to Bald Derrion in one point.
He was never going to trust anyone from the start, and in a life or death situation like this, Han Dong didn't trust a group of strangers to help each other.
"Uncle Liu, where are you going?" Han Dong happened to bump into the stairway and was descending the stairs granny's old companion.
"Go buy something for your aunt to go to town... You need some small objects for the ceremony, it's very complicated, and you can't understand it."
"Good."
Han Dong returned to his room and took out the props he had prepared in advance in his backpack.
The other team members used the 500 yuan issued by the system to buy some of the 'necessities' needed for survival.
Han Dong, on the other hand, freed up some money and bought a few sets of countryside clothes, one of which was identical to Uncle Liu's.
[Head of the Faceless Man]
One of the abilities is "Imitation".
Even when he looks at himself in the mirror, he can't tell the difference between the real and fake appearance of Han Dong.
After some preparations, Han Dong imitates as Uncle Liu and comes to the room where the 'ritual preparation' takes place.
"Old man, what are you fooling around for? If there's nothing else, come over and help set up."
The grandmother who was alone with her old friend was completely devoid of that image that a 'diva' should have.
Currently sitting on the edge of the bed playing with her phone... As for the things that needed to be prepared, there wasn't really much, just a few tributes to be placed on the wooden table, while the so-called replacement child paper man was randomly placed in the corner.
"Is it okay to set it up like this?" Han Dong tried arranging the offering fruits on the table.
"Just be neat and tidy, where are the rules ... as usual ...
You'll give 'Chen Li' the drug later. She's not well, just use 2/3 of the dose.
I've already prepared the antidote here, we'll split the 6/4 after doing this."
Speaking of which, Han Dong instantly understood exactly how this rather famous wang woman was able to 'exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases'.
"Okay..."
Han Dong immediately turned around and went back to his room, putting on another set of outerwear and disguising himself as Little Brother Daqing.
Han Dong already knew beforehand that Daqing Little Brother had already ridden his motorcycle to the town two hours away to buy food.
After all, there was still a need to prepare a meal for at least seven people at noon.
With his disguise complete, Han Dong tried to enter the role of 'Daqing'... However, this time the disguise operation was different from just now.
The danger was self-evident.
It was highly possible that [Sinister Chen Li] was the 'evil spirit' in this incident.
Creak.
Pushing open the half-hidden wooden door of the hall.
Chen Li, who had a dull face, was resting on the couch.
In the daytime, she wasn't much different from a normal person, but on the table in front of her was a sharp kitchen knife that had just been used to cut vegetables... The blade was glowing with cold light.
"Sis, are you okay?"
"Close the door." Chen Li whispered.
Han Dong kept his composure and turned around to close the door...taking a deep breath and preparing for a fight.
"Didn't you go to the grocery store?" The icy voice came from behind.
When she turned her head, she saw that Chen Li had already brought up the kitchen knife in her hands... her body leaned forward with a tendency to get up.
Han Dong steadied his mind and tried his best to mimic Da Qing's way of speaking.
"There's no rush to buy food, I'm just a little worried about whether 'this' thing will go well."
Han Dong's words were just right.
The 'this matter' in this sentence seemed to be talking about the 'return ceremony'... but if there was any personal matter between the siblings, they could also use this sentence to get out.
Who knows.
Chen Li doesn't make a sound.
Rising up slowly while carrying a kitchen knife... her hair was also draped in front of her as she leaned forward, with only her red lips remaining on the outside.
As she approached Han Dong...buzz!
A knife chopped down.
The cold, flickering sharp kitchen knife slashed into the wall on the side of Han Dong's head... At this point, Han Dong and Chen Li's faces were separated by less than a fist, and their blood-streaked pupils could be clearly seen.
"The group of foreign students that came with us is a big problem... but this is the only chance for revenge that we have prepared for a long time and it is also the only chance.
Keep going with the plan, you go find a way to sabotage the granny's and their van, and I'll find a way to scare all these college students away."
Phew....
Hearing such a reply, Han Dong let out a sigh of relief.
The moment Chen Li wielded the knife, Han Dong was also physically startled...all thanks to the fact that he had died once, suppressing this tension as death approached.
Han Dong thought to himself, As expected, it's useful to have some understanding of the conditions.
In Kyushu, the censorship of feudal superstitions and the like is extra strict... the local horror films are often man-made behind the scenes.''
When the system notified that Sinister was a Kyushu film, Han Dong considered that there might not be a 'ghost' with the film itself.
It was because of this that he dared to contact Chen Li alone.
It was just that... that moment just now had really scared him to death, and his palms were full of sweat.
This way.
The positioning of the event character was completely clear.
Granny Wang was just a fake goddess who was just a trickster and had a grudge against these two siblings due to a previous incident.
Chen Li and Daqing are simply luring the couple of granny Wang over, intending to complete their revenge plan in the wilderness.
Then the question arises.
Where are the evil spirits?
Right at this moment, a separate system voice echoed in Han Dong's head.
