Chapter 1518: Chapter 1516: Box of Resentment

[Black Shell Residential Street]

It is a row of townhouses located in the outskirts, appearing far more eerie compared to other areas within the city.

Especially when the activity announcement comes, the temperature here drops sharply, even impacting nearby neighborhoods.

As individuals approach the activity zone, they can distinctly feel the gradient change in temperature.

The normal city temperature is around 20°C; when getting close to the entrance of Black Shell Street, the temperature is precisely 0°C... The frosty breath from one’s mouth becomes clearly visible.

Once near this street, killer players will receive the activity notification.

Most killers who have not yet accrued slaughter value opt to walk along the brightly lit avenue toward the intersection.

The streetlights only extend to this point; their illumination cannot penetrate the activity zone... The front section of Black Shell Residential Street is shrouded in an unusual layer of black mist, and only the vague silhouettes of villas near the street entrance can barely be glimpsed.

As more killers gather at the intersection.

"The electric saw wielder is here!"

A startled cry prompts most people to turn their heads.

A young man cloaked in a hood, with an electric saw and live arm crossed on his back, walks along the avenue to the intersection.

Beside him is indeed a woman companion; though concealed under the cloak, the exposed leather-covered calf reveals her gender and figure.

At the same time, the rumored ’scarlet dog’ also appears... However, it is far more terrifying than described, with bright red fur emanating a heavy scent of blood, enough to make one instinctively shy away.

"Count, do you sense any particularly troublesome vibes?"

Han Dong’s gaze appears to focus forward, but privately he instructs the Count to conduct a rough inspection using blood perception and scent.

"Among the killers mixed here, there are a few whose auras are quite distinctive, stronger than any we’ve encountered before...

However, this Count believes that true experts,

or Fate travelers from other worlds, wouldn’t just swagger into the most densely populated intersection like this.

Instead, they would choose more concealed paths to approach the activity zone from another direction."

"Hmm, let’s first see whether the activity content suits us."

As Han Dong approaches the intersection, an activity flyer floats into his hand.

[Special Activity – Box of Resentment]

[Introduction]: A mysterious box crafted by a Mysterious Craftsman, capable of infinitely releasing emotions of resentment, has been left behind on Black Shell Residential Street.

The existence of the box has already spawned a massive number of Evil Spirits filled with resentment. They fiercely hate all living beings and will stop at nothing to kill anyone who approaches the box.

Moreover, this street seems to hide further unspeakable secrets... This activity is destined to be filled with Fear and Death.

[Type]: Supernatural treasure hunt

Note: The activity scene is inundated with Evil Spirits, non-corporeal and highly aggressive, also influenced by ladybugs.

Killer players who wish to participate must consume sufficient [Experience Value] and undergo an entry qualification test (free). If an individual lacks adequate abilities or equipment to counter Evil Spirits, they will not be eligible to participate.

[Individual/Team]: Maximum allowed - 3-person teams

[Entry Method]: Free entry

Note: Qualified killers may enter the street from any direction.

[Restrictions]: This activity includes combat restrictions; during the early stage (first 2 hours), all forms of combat are prohibited. Violators will face forced removal and significant point deduction.

After the first 2 hours, standard combats will no longer be penalized. Deaths occurring during combat will still accumulate slaughter value for the opposing side.

[Ladybug Count]: This activity will adopt a "randomized mode."

Qualified killers will receive a ladybug counter before entry, which will clearly display the current count.

Note: "Randomized mode" means the ladybug count will unpredictably change—for example, the current count might be [1], and a period later (five minutes or even half an hour), it may randomly shift to [5] (maximum value, also known as the "certain death count").

As a protective measure, the activity scene includes [safehouses].

When the next random count reaches [5], the counter will issue a one-minute warning. Be sure to reach the closest safehouse at maximum speed to shelter.

[Clearance Requirements]: Locate the "Box of Resentment" and carry it out of the activity zone.

[Rewards]: Top player will receive triple Experience Value rewards, substantial points rewards, and the permit to open the "Box of Resentment."

Other survivors will earn Experience Value and points rewards based on their performance during the activity.

[Special Note]: Special activities cannot be left midway; all escape cards/surrender cards are nullified. The activity will only end when a team fulfills the Clearance Requirements.

"A supernatural treasure hunt type? This is the first time I’ve encountered a spirit-body game like this.

And it’s entirely random, completely devoid of any pacing... [5] is the maximum value, theoretically the certain-death count.

In a zone teeming with Evil Spirits, the likelihood of Death becomes significantly higher.

A special activity indeed; the difficulty is certainly high. Let’s test our qualifications first; thinking about the rest won’t help if we’re disqualified."

At present, many killers gathered at the intersection choose to leave upon realizing the activity involves non-physical Evil Spirits.

They still want to live a bit longer, and even if they have to face death, they prefer not to die in such uncontrollable Fear.

The free testing station is located at a public phone booth at the intersection. The booth conducts a thorough scan of the individual, and when the phone rings, picking up the receiver reveals the test results.

"Killer Han Dong.

Detected abilities and items you possess that are applicable to countering spirit bodies.

①. [Tentacles] - Highly effective against spiritual essence

②. [Nether Blood and related equipment "Vick’s Fat Device"] - Moderately effective against spiritual essence

③. [Prison Brain (Stage Two)] - Moderately effective against spiritual essence

Meets the basic conditions for participating in the activity."

(During prior point-grinding, Han Dong had already unlocked the "Prison Brain" ability to Stage Two.)

"As expected... Tentacles are essentially a significant nemesis to spirit bodies."

Han Dong vividly recalled his first Fate incident, [Being Possessed], where he ultimately relied on his Tentacles to directly annihilate an otherwise unbeatable Evil Spirit.

Sally, being an Elemental, naturally passed the test with ease.

Next, all they had to do was pay a specified amount of Experience Value to obtain activity qualification and a wristwatch displaying the current ladybug count.

At that moment, a group of killers surrounded them. Sally had already assumed a combative stance.

Unexpectedly, the killers surrounding them all bore rather goofy or friendly demeanors.

"I’ve heard of the electric saw wielder’s fame far and wide. I imagine your swings with the saw can effortlessly carve through Evil Spirits... My name is Wims Turner, my Experience Value has reached 3000, and I’m known as [Midnight Scissorhand].

Beyond slicing open Evil Spirits’ throats, I can also deploy a shadow cloak to reduce our chances of being detected by spirits, greatly enhancing our search success rate and chances of reaching a safehouse safely. I hope to join your squad."

Soon after, several other killers came forward to introduce themselves.

This activity permits a maximum of three-person teams, so multiple solo killers were attempting their luck with Han Dong, the renowned "electric saw wielder."

Unfortunately, Han Dong was unwilling to accept others apart from his original teammates... They might bring advantages, but more likely they would introduce instability.

To avoid direct rejection that might provoke potential animosity, Han Dong opted for the most tactful way of refusal.

"I’m truly sorry... Our squad is already full."

"Full? But there are only two of you?"

Han Dong casually gestured at the scarlet pup lying nearby.

"[Count Bach], the legendary crimson killer, is also one of our team members..."

"Huh? That mutt?"

The Count felt affronted and instantly opened his bloodstained maw, shredding the offender’s pant leg to bits.

From the Dog Mouth, human speech emerged, "Scram! Believe it or not, this Count will crush you into Blood Brew within minutes!"
