This videotape looks quite ordinary no matter how you look at it.

There was nothing eerie or unusual about it; it was impossible to tell that this was a haunted videotape.

Cao Kun even had some doubts, wondering if Bart had made a mistake and sent over an ordinary videotape.

The videotape was pushed into the VCR, and the picture quickly appeared on the television.

Upon seeing the footage, Cao Kun knew he hadn't made a mistake.

This is the content of that videotape from the American version of "The Ring".

This is the videotape that was cursed by Samora.

Suddenly, Cao Kun felt a faint, special power emanating from the television set and descending upon him.

A purple light suddenly emanated from Cao Kun's body.

He completely blocked those forces from his body.

At the same time, he unplugged the television and VCR.

Something amazing happened.

Even though there was no electricity, the television was still playing.

The video recorder did not stop running.

Cao Kun was not surprised by this.

If this ghost were so easy to deal with, it wouldn't be so scary.

Cao Kun tried to remove the videotape, but the machine got stuck and he couldn't eject it.

Cao Kun tried to leave the room again, but he found that even after he left, the force was still trying to enter his body.

As long as the recording continues to play, this force will not stop.

In other words, if an ordinary person starts watching this videotape, there's basically no way to escape it.

unless……

Cao Kun struck out with a palm, the powerful force instantly shattering the television and video recorder into pieces.

Finally, the screen went black, and the video recorder stopped running.

That power also vanished.

Cao Kun took out the videotape and found that it was completely damaged and could no longer be played.

"It seems that the only way to stop Samora from targeting us is to destroy the TV, VCR, and videotape before the videotape finishes playing."

"However, if I hadn't stopped that cursed power before, what about what happens to what's already inside my body?"

"Will it exit after the recording ends, or will it remain inside the body, leaving you half-dead?"

Cao Kun then called Bart and asked him to bring out another videotape.

These are all important pieces of evidence; Bart certainly wouldn't have agreed to them if it were someone else.

But this was his master, and he dared not disobey, so he could only obediently take another plate.

Before he could leave, he received another call from Cao Kun, asking him to make several more copies and to buy a few more televisions and VCRs on his way back.

Bart had no choice but to go to the technical department again and get more than a dozen discs at once, along with several televisions and VCRs he bought on the way, and send them all to Cao Kun.

After obtaining these items, Cao Kun began to try again.

This time, he didn't use his own power to stop it, letting the power of the curse fall on him.

Then, after playing some of the videotape, he suddenly attacked, destroying the television, the VCR, and the videotape together.

As the playback stopped, Cao Kun noticed that the curse power on him was also disappearing.

"The curse's power is actually fading. Could it be that we didn't observe it long enough?"

Cao Kun tried again.

This time, he watched for more than half the total time.

As a result, when the playback was forcibly stopped, the curse power also disappeared.

"Doesn't it have anything to do with the duration?"

"In the movie, after watching the videotape, you have to answer a phone call."

"Will this step also occur in reality?"

This time, Cao Kun patiently watched the entire videotape.

Cao Kun discovered that the curse power within him had become extremely strong.

However, it was not detonated.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Cao Kun picked it up and saw that it read "Unknown caller ID".

Cao Kun didn't answer, letting the phone ring.

But after a while, Cao Kun found that his phone had been answered on its own.

Just then, Cao Kun felt the power of the curse on his body suddenly erupt and become deeply bound to him.

Cao Kun could have stopped him, but he didn't.

A faint, eerie sound came from the phone, then abruptly stopped.

But Cao Kun knew that the content of the phone call was not important.

"It turns out that the videotape was the means of spreading the curse, while the telephone was the key to triggering it."

"However, even if you don't answer the phone, it will connect by itself to complete the curse."

"But what if I destroy the phone before it connects?"

"Then the curse may not be able to be completed."

"Over time, the power of the curse will also fade away."

Cao Kun certainly wasn't doing this out of boredom, but rather to study Samora's methods of killing.

Rather, studying these things helps him gain a deeper understanding of such spells.

He himself can also gain a lot of benefits from it.

As for Samora, he definitely wants to kill her.

If you finally encounter a powerful ghost, it would be a waste not to kill it and gain experience points.

However, this time, I'm not acting on someone's behalf, so I can't make money from it, which is a bit of a shame.

"However, if you can't make money through commissions, you can make money through other means."

Cao Kun's eyes flickered slightly, and he already had an idea in mind.

“Holy Son,” Cao Kun called to the Holy Son from the foot of the mountain, “find the videotape sales charts for the New Year period and give them to me.”

Seiko Yamashita immediately found the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

When Cao Kun opened it, the number one book was undoubtedly "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace".

Then, Toy Story, The Matrix, The Mummy, Tarzan, and The World Is Not Enough were also on the list.

These were all blockbuster movies last year.

While Saw 2 did sell reasonably well, it is, after all, a horror film, and none of these movies sold during the New Year period.

Cao Kun glanced at the list a few times and finally selected a few movies.

He picked up his phone and called Hunter Lee: "Come over here right now."

The biggest advantage of taking over a gang is that you can get them to do some of the dirty work.

For example, at this moment.

Cao Kun handed a videotape of Samora to Hunter Lee: "I don't care how you do it, embed the contents of this videotape into the movies Star Wars: Episode I, The Matrix, James Bond, and The Mummy."

Ideally, it should be embedded in the middle of the film.

Hunter Lee looked bewildered, but immediately replied, "Yes, Master. How many of these videotapes do you want to make?"

Cao Kun: "Let's start with 1,000 copies of each, and then find a way to expand to the national market. Be smart, don't let anyone catch us red-handed."

“Understood, Master. I won’t let anyone trace it back to me,” Hunter Lee said.

Cao Kun nodded: "If necessary, I will have someone help you."

Hunter Lee was immediately more at ease.

Cao Kun: "Don't blame me for not warning you, don't watch the contents of this videotape if you don't want to die."

Hunter Lee was startled: "Master, will someone die from this videotape?"

"Don't ask so many questions," Cao Kun said. "The people who make the videotapes will definitely be curious and want to see what's inside."

"Once you see the contents, you'll die. Think carefully about what you're going to do."
