“That’s right.” The other party didn’t hide anything: “As long as Master Cao Kun refuses this case, we will give you $500,000.”
Cao Kun: "Your sincerity isn't enough. Do you know how much I charge for this job?"
The other party: "I know, $1 million."
However, Master Cao Kun, you would be taking a great risk if you went to find someone.
The legend of the Blair Witch Project has been around for many years, and even though Master Cao Kun is very skilled, there is a chance that he might make a mistake.
Now, Master Cao Kun, you can get $500,000 without doing anything.
I think this is a very good deal.
Cao Kun: "What you said makes me a little tempted, but unfortunately, you're too late..."
“One million.” The other party gritted his teeth and said, “Master Cao Kun, you don’t have to do anything, and you can still get one million US dollars.”
There's no better deal in the world.
Cao Kun sighed: "It's not about the money, it's about you. You're too late."
Okay, I have to go now. Next time something like this happens, remember to contact me earlier.
After saying that, Cao Kun hung up the phone before the other party could say anything more.
Cao Kun shook his head. Although he was an evil cultivator, evil cultivators also had a sense of integrity.
Otherwise, you won't be able to make a living either.
Back at his apartment, Cao Kun thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The room was bright and clean, the floor was spotless, and everything was arranged neatly and orderly.
This is completely different from his previous doghouse.
"Master, you're back."
Seiko Yamashita, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen, carrying a cookbook in her hand.
Cao Kun immediately recognized it as a book about Chinese cuisine.
Cao Kun: "You cleaned all this up?"
Seiko Yamashita: "Yes, Master, are you satisfied?"
Cao Kun nodded: "Very good."
He suddenly sniffed: "Something's burnt."
"Oh dear." Seiko Yamashita quickly ran into the kitchen.
A short while later, Cao Kun saw a cloud of black smoke rise.
Seiko Yamashita emerged from the kitchen with a pained expression, her face completely blackened.
Cao Kun almost burst out laughing.
Seiko Yamashita looked aggrieved: "Master, Chinese food is too difficult."
Cao Kun found a takeout order and handed it to Yamashita Seishi: "Order takeout."
In the end, the two settled for pizza for lunch.
After lunch, Cao Kun began to draw the Yin Talisman.
He didn't know just how powerful the Blair Witch was.
However, it's always good to be prepared.
Cao Kun continued drawing talismans until 10 p.m., and he gained a batch of usable Yin talismans.
After tidying up the things on the table, Cao Kun said to the Holy Son at the foot of the mountain, "You go to sleep first, I'm going out for a bit."
"Oh, Master, shall we wait for you?" Yamashita Seiko obediently did not ask Cao Kun what he was going to do.
"Need not."
After leaving the apartment building, Cao Kun didn't drive; he simply stepped into the darkness.
That night, countless homeless people in Los Angeles died under mysterious circumstances.
It wasn't just the homeless; a small gang was wiped out overnight.
Dozens of people lay dead on the ground, their faces still showing expressions of terror, as if they had seen something extremely horrific before they died.
The next morning, Cao Kun appeared at Los Angeles Airport.
Yamashita Seiko wanted to go with him, but Cao Kun refused.
She was at the second rank of the Gathering Evil Realm, and her most effective Ghost Mist was burned away by Cao Kun's Yin Fire, leaving her with greatly diminished combat power.
Taking the Holy Son of the Mountain with me, I also have to take care of her.
At the airport, Cao Kun saw the people sent by Huanqiu to accompany him to collect the body.
This person was actually a woman, in her thirties, about 1.75 meters tall, with well-developed muscles and a very square face, somewhat resembling a woman with masculine features.
The index and middle fingers of her right hand were charred yellow from smoking, clearly indicating she was a heavy smoker.
I asked around and learned that her name also sounded somewhat masculine; it was Clark.
Cao Kun asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of corpses?"
Clark smiled nonchalantly: "What's there to be afraid of about corpses? I deal with corpses all the time."
Cao Kun: "What do you mean?"
Clark: "I'm an assistant director who specializes in making horror films."
Cao Kun: "Does making a horror film require dealing with corpses?"
Clark: "That depends on the person. To make the corpses in horror movies more realistic, I often go to funeral homes to look at corpses."
Cao Kun nodded; this woman was bolder than most men.
Cao Kun and his team are currently in Los Angeles, on the west coast of the United States.
Maryland is located on the east coast of the United States.
To get to Maryland, they would need to cross the entire country.
The distance is more than 4,000 kilometers.
The flight takes about 6 hours.
When Cao Kun and his companion landed, it was already past 3 p.m.
They rented a car and drove for more than four hours before finally arriving in Blair.
Cao Kun did not go up the mountain that night.
Knowing that it would be more dangerous at night, he ate his fill before going up the mountain.
The next morning, Cao Kun went up the mountain alone.
As for Clark, he showed no intention of following along.
According to her, the corpse is dead, and although it looks dangerous, it is actually very safe.
But the witch is alive; for her to go there would be no different than sending herself to her death.
This woman is quite self-aware.
There was still some fog in the mountains in the morning, but once inside, the visibility was still good and didn't have a major impact.
After walking for a short while, Cao Kun saw several piles of stones, stacked in a rather regular manner.
Cao Kun smiled.
These stones also appear in the film "The Blair Witch Project".
The three of them were quite frightened at the time.
Bang!
Cao Kun kicked the stones away.
Continuing onward, after walking for a while, several extremely bizarre puppets appeared in front of Cao Kun.
These dolls are made of tree branches.
Some stood on the ground, while others were stuck in trees.
Others are placed vertically between two trees.
These dolls have their limbs outstretched, and although they have no facial features, they give the feeling that they are staring at you, which makes you feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the movie, the three main characters were almost driven insane by these puppets.
"Playing tricks and deception."
Cao Kun lit a fire, tore the puppets off, and threw them directly into the fire.
Crack!
The flames crackled and popped as they burned the branches. Suddenly, the flames shot up more than a meter high, transforming into a flaming human head that lunged at Cao Kun.
Cao Kun stood motionless as the head fell onto him and disappeared on its own.
Cao Kun looked disdainful: "Is that all? Blair, you've disappointed me greatly."
This is just a small illusion; the head doesn't actually exist.
An ordinary person might be terrified on the spot, but for Cao Kun, it was nothing at all.
Cao Kun knew that this smokescreen was not something Blair had deliberately set up.
Instead, they added some medicinal powder to those dolls.
Once someone sets the doll on fire, the power of the powder is activated, producing this hallucination.
This is enough to scare an ordinary person half to death.
Cao Kun continued up the mountain, and along the way he saw several more dolls, all of which he burned to ashes.
Sure enough, I would have similar hallucinations every time I burned these dolls.
But it's just an illusion, completely useless.
After walking for a while, the fog suddenly thickened, and visibility decreased.
Cao Kun stopped in his tracks, sensing that he had just passed through this place.
