Chapter 143: Chapter 109: None Survived_2

——Every member of the Mobile Task Force was an experienced anomaly handling expert.

She had found out that Xinyue currently had three Mobile Task Forces, but she couldn’t get in touch with the other two at all, so she had to bite the bullet and come to Chen Guangxi.

After hearing the story from the disfigured woman, Chen Guangxi, gnawing on a lamb leg, mumbled incoherently, "Xinyue Control Bureau tried so many times and failed, what makes you think I can succeed?"

The disfigured woman fell to her knees with a thud, her voice filled with endless pleading, "Please try, just try... I can give you money, I still have over three million, if you think it’s not enough, I can sell my house and car...

She’s my only family... I can’t lose her..."

"..."

Chen Guangxi knew how twisted and arrogant the disfigured woman’s character was, and now that she was willing to give up her dignity and kneel to beg her, it was evident how important her daughter was to her.

She lowered her gaze, gnawing on the lamb leg, and after a moment, sighed, "I’ll go take a look later."

Suddenly, she felt a little homesick, missing the mother who always protected her no matter what she did.

"Thank you... thank you..." The disfigured woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude, kowtowing to her.

·

After dinner, Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi arrived at a containment room of the Xinyue Control Bureau.

A movie was playing on the big screen. Two investigators and two scholars in white coats were sitting on the sofa watching, while taking notes and drawing something.

"Mom!"

A girl appeared on the screen, it was Ding Yi. At that moment, she had just entered the villa not long ago, crying out for her mother, "Mom, where is this place? I think I’ve encountered something abnormal..."

"Don’t be afraid, Yiyi, uncles are thinking of a way to save you." The disfigured woman forced a gentle smile to comfort her daughter.

[To rescue this poor unlucky girl, conventional methods won’t work. You need to find a way to enter the movie. The good news is, this isn’t difficult for us.]

[Event detected, generating task...]

[Task name: "No One Survived"]

[Task Objective: Complete the horror movie]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*800]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*4000]

[Task Reward 3: Fine Quality Skill Scroll*1]

[Accept the task?]

[Once accepted, teleportation will be available within 12 hours]

[Yes/No]

"Not instant teleportation, that’s quite considerate."

Zhou Yuan chose to accept the task, preparing to find an opportunity to enter the movie world using Wang Zhen’s identity, thus justifiably using the Player System’s tools.

"Hmm... I’ll try some rituals." Chen Guangxi pondered for a long time with her hand on her chin, then began setting up rituals.

Half an hour later.

Chen Guangxi shook her head, "I’ve tried everything I could think of. I’m sorry, I can’t help you."

The disfigured woman’s eyes instantly dimmed, her hope completely extinguished, like dead ashes.

·

It was late at night, Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi returned to their hotel.

Just minutes after lying down, Zhou Yuan received a message from Chen Guangxi using Wang Zhen’s forum account.

Chen Guangxi, "Old Wang, I have a task here, are you interested?"

Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow, surprised that Chen Guangxi would contact Wang Zhen, then typed a reply, "Tell me about it."

Chen Guangxi directly sent the anomaly event document from the Control Bureau.

"Oh... interesting, I have some tricks, maybe I can enter this movie world."

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, then realized why Chen Guangxi contacted Wang Zhen and added, "But if you want to save this little girl, I’ll need you or the Control Bureau to provide some tools."

"No problem," said Chen Guangxi, "Half an hour later, at Maple Leaf Park, I’ll give you the tools."

"Deal."

Half an hour later, at Maple Leaf Park, Fang Qing came to meet her.

"Here, to be safe, I got ten different teleportation tools, five of each kind, as well as many holy attribute exorcism tools." Chen Guangxi handed a small Storage Ring to Fang Qing.

"Thanks." Fang Qing said before instantly disappearing, being recalled into the Paru Ball.

"So convenient," Chen Guangxi clicked her tongue in amazement.

·

"Teleport."

In the hotel room, Zhou Yuan, who had completed his disguise, chose to teleport.

The next second, torrential rain poured from the sky, drenching him instantly.

The sky was dark, Zhou Yuan stood on a muddy road, surrounded by dense woods, eerie and silent.

In the rain curtain ahead, a villa with lights shining stood, like a lighthouse on a dark island.

"Who... who are you?" A startled cry from the disfigured woman came to his ears.

At this moment, a rectangular screen appeared in Zhou Yuan’s vision, showing the scene inside the containment room.

Disfigured woman, investigators, and scholars all looked dumbfounded, not expecting someone to actually enter this anomalous movie.

"He’s the helper I found." Chen Guangxi walked in through the door.

"How does it feel?" She crossed her arms, smiling meaningfully.

Zhou Yuan remained expressionless, feeling the rain with his hand, "Everything here feels real, the rain, the air, the temperature, and even the elements floating in the air... it feels the same as reality."

He took out an Opple smartphone, opened the map, and the signal instantly dropped from full bars to none, the map also got disrupted by an unknown force, becoming chaotic.

The invincible Opple smartphone finally failed.

Putting away the phone, Zhou Yuan headed towards the villa. Before exploring the plot, it’s best to get Ding Yi out first.

Knock knock knock.

Zhou Yuan came to the villa door and knocked. After a long time, the door opened. It was a man with a goatee, with two burly men standing behind him.

"Who are you?"

Although the story’s setting was in 1996 England, everyone in the film spoke in Eastern Continent language — and it was translation-accented.

"I am Sherlock Edogawa Conan."

Zhou Yuan smiled, radiating his charm aura, "It’s raining heavily outside, sir, could I come in to take shelter? I bear no ill intent, just want to warm up... this damned rain."

"Come in." The goateed man found him agreeable, not looking like a bad person, and stepped aside to let him in.

Entering the villa smoothly, Zhou Yuan saw Ding Yi, soaking wet, sitting on the sofa.

She was shivering uncontrollably, warily looking at everything around.

"An Oriental? Such peculiar clothing." Zhou Yuan feigned surprise.

"She suddenly appeared here." A blonde bombshell said, holding a towel and drying Ding Yi’s hair.

"Little girl, do you know the periodic table of elements?" Zhou Yuan suddenly asked.

"Hydrogen, hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron..." Ding Yi blurted out instinctively, then as if realizing something, she looked at Zhou Yuan in shock.

"Well, that’s the secret code passed down in our family, so you’re my distant cousin!" Zhou Yuan exclaimed in surprise, leaving everyone else confused.

"How come you, an Englishman, have an Oriental distant relative?" Someone queried in confusion.

"My aunt’s cousin’s third uncle’s son’s sister-in-law’s dog’s owner’s sister-in-law is from the Eastern Continent."

Zhou Yuan pointed to Ding Yi, "She is the daughter of the sister-in-law, and I got lost looking for her."

Everyone was completely baffled by his words. Due to his charm aura, they just believed it... they believed it.

"Leave it to me, and let us catch up." Zhou Yuan took the towel from the blonde bombshell’s hands and started drying Ding Yi’s hair.

The nine main characters then gathered in the dining room, whispering about these two sudden uninvited guests.

"Come on, see if this thing works."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, Zhou Yuan handed a teleportation device to Ding Yi.

The latter pressed the button, but there was no response.

"It doesn’t work..."

"It’s fine, there are still nine left."

Zhou Yuan had her try each one, but none of the teleportation devices worked.

"Hmm... then try this."

Zhou Yuan handed her a piece of chocolate.
