Chapter 1524: Chapter 1522: Crooked Neck Tree

Although the process of cutting the chunks of meat made Han Dong satisfied to the bone.

The crisis from the environment still existed, and Han Dong was very clear about his current goal—to go to the second floor and meet up with his teammates.

He put away the chainsaw and strapped it back on his back.

Static noise! The static on the TV next door suddenly surged to full volume, causing pain in Han Dong’s eardrums, as if being pricked by sharp needles.

While quickly covering his ears, he additionally split into two lumps of flesh to stuff into his ear canals... then quickly slid open the paper door separating the [elder’s room] and [living room].

At this moment, the TV’s static noise abruptly stopped.

The snowflake dots covering the TV screen completely dissipated, replaced by a strange scene.

A clearing in the woods covered with fallen leaves, a [ancient well] sits in the center.

"The Ring?!"

Even in life as a biology professor, Han Dong had heard of this famous horror film.

Rumor had it that when the film was released, it scared many viewers to death.

The ancient well used as a filming location was once a slightly famous scenic spot; once the film was released, this location fell out of favor, and many locals moved away, leading to its complete abandonment.

The most terrifying scene in the movie is when ’Sadako’ crawls out from the cursed tape into reality through the TV screen.

Currently.

What Han Dong was about to face seemed to be exactly this scene... For a moment, Han Dong even suspected that the higher-ups of [Ladybug World] might have access to various works adapted from small and medium-sized worlds.

It’s coming!

A pale arm extended from the well’s opening.

The scene flickered, and the woman with black hair covering her face had half her body crawling out of the well.

During the broadcast, Han Dong, as the viewer, was subjected to a "cursed confinement."

Restricted in place, unable to move, his eyelids were forcibly pried open by an invisible force, not allowing him to close... demanding Han Dong to watch the entire process.

Suddenly, a rather urgent voice from the Count sounded from the second floor:

"Nicholas, what are you doing? Hurry up and come up... there’s something strange on the second floor."

Han Dong, limited in place, calmly asked, "Count, where is the safehouse?"

"Deep in the attic!"

"Okay, you and Sally hide in there first, don’t worry about me... I’ll come up later."

Staring at the terrifying scene on the TV, feeling the curse’s restraint.

Han Dong wasn’t panicked, but instead, a distorted smile spread across his face...

Due to the widespread influence of "The Ring," there were many unofficial creations based on the movie, and it even spawned some interesting topics.

If Sadako were crawling out of your TV, what would you do?

Netizens gave many interesting responses, like sticking two TVs together or putting the TV by the window.

Now, this topic has become a reality, happening right in front of Han Dong.

It may be dangerous.

But faced with such a fascinating opportunity, how could Han Dong miss it... the moment he first saw the ancient well on TV, his Madness Attribute was triggered, and he had already conceived quite intriguing ideas in his mind.

Static noise!

When the signal interference appeared on the TV screen, the woman climbing out from the ancient well approached even faster...

Han Dong was increasingly excited, continuing to feign being confined in place.

"Come on!"

Static! Another burst of signal interference... A pale right hand completely penetrated the screen, manifesting in physical form.

The nail-less hand gently landed on the ground, its nail flesh showing a dense grainy structure due to prolonged immersion.

Crash! The second hand followed suit.

With both hands as support, the woman’s head pierced through the thin film, stretching out slowly and laboriously.

Between the strands of hair, a vague sighting of a completely swollen, nearly out-of-socket white eyeball.

Yet.

This was the moment Han Dong had been waiting for— "The head just piercing through the TV, while the body remains inside."

From his waist, Han Dong pulled out an item he had acquired not long ago.

"Hanging Rope"

Though it was a clue item, when Han Dong touched the rope, he sensed a "binding sensation"... perhaps it would be interesting to use it against spirit bodies.

Furthermore, this rope originated from this haunted house; if used on the spirits within, there might be unexpected ’chemical reactions.’

Crash!

The loop tightened, choking her throat.

"Get out here!"

Han Dong grabbed the other end of the white rope, G-virus activated—muscles swelling as he forcefully pulled!

Crash, crash, crash! The sound of the television being destroyed echoed through the house.

The forcibly dragged-out woman experienced a positional fusion with the broken television, similar to a glitch in a game.

The TV cables and transistors pierced through the woman’s body, while also filled with glass shards.

However.

Han Dong didn’t care how pitiful she was.

At the fastest speed, he dragged her to the Crooked Neck Tree’s base and re-tied the rope at the original spot.

Just like that.

The woman who had just crawled out of the TV was hung to death right there.

As Han Dong had guessed, the ’binding nature’ of the Hanging Rope indeed worked; this poor Evil Spirit lady was unable to escape the bond, struggling in vain.

However, what happened next surpassed imagination.

The forced-hanged evil spirit ceased all struggling.

Her flesh body slowly transformed from ’physical’ to ’spirit body,’ being absorbed into the Crooked Neck Tree along the Hanging Rope... even becoming part of its sustenance.

"Hm!?"

Han Dong was taken aback; he swiftly collected the "Hanging Rope" and retreated ten full steps... scrutinizing the strange Crooked Neck Tree through the Demon Eye, due to the restriction, unable to see its essence.

"I didn’t pay attention to this thing initially... the real danger isn’t the rope but this tree?"

Han Dong first retreated back inside the haunted house; the Crooked Neck Tree’s situation would be explored in depth later.

Returning to the entrance on the first floor, taking the stairs to the second floor.

Similar to the Count’s previous encounter, colorful balls rolled down the staircase continuously... however, this time, there weren’t just one but dozens.

As they got closer, the balls all turned into terrifying heads, trying to restrict Han Dong’s actions with the black hair sprouting from their mouths, attempting to slowly gnaw him away.

Watching the ball heads in front, Han Dong immediately pulled out the chainsaw.

A roar of the engine echoed through the corridor...

The next scene resembled putting one fresh tomato after another into a juicer.

Cleared them all! Thoroughly stained with tomato juice, when Han Dong stepped onto the stairs... Splash! He stepped into a puddle of cold water.

Upon closer inspection, the water originated from the adjacent bathroom.

A slightly ajar bathroom door exposed a suspended pale long leg.

Han Dong wasted no time lingering, immediately running towards the master bedroom.

During this, more hair continued to seep through the wall cracks,

A middle-aged man in the guest room scratched his ears and head, even tearing his own skin, and when opening the wardrobe, a small pale boy squatted inside.

When reaching out, he directly left a mark of corrosion on Han Dong.

From the attic came the sound of neck joints cracking constantly, a terrifying woman crawled in the shadows.

Han Dong no longer lingered in combat, rushing at full speed towards the [safehouse] emitting flickering candlelight.

Just in time before another famous woman from a horror movie arrived, he slammed the wooden door of the safehouse shut.

"With just three Ladybugs, there are so many Evil Spirits? What will higher levels become?"
