The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman, and the hardest thing to leave is the embrace of her gentle embrace.
At this moment, Cao Kun also slowed down.
A day later, Cao Kun drove away in his brand-new Land Rover Defender.
The pickup truck remained in Cao Kun's system space.
In fact, Cao Kun had several other vehicles in his system space, just in case, for use in emergencies.
He just liked the imposing presence of the Pikachu.
Now, this Land Rover Defender is not bad at all.
Furthermore, the fact that it was a gift from Charliz adds another layer of meaning.
To be honest, this Land Rover Defender isn't expensive; even the top-of-the-line model only costs a little over ten thousand US dollars.
The protective pendant that Cao Kun gave to Charlize could easily fetch millions of dollars if sold.
Charlize has made a fortune once again.
Seeing Cao Kun return in a Land Rover Defender, the Holy Son of the Mountain lit up: "Master, you bought a new car?"
Cao Kun grunted in agreement.
Seiko Yamashita: "Master, let me drive this car. I like big ones like this."
Cao Kun: "Don't you like Hummers?"
Seiko Yamashita: "The Hummer is too big; I can't quite handle it now."
Cao Kun: "I'll give you the money, go buy another one yourself, this one won't do."
"Alright," Yamashita Seiko said, not taking offense.
Upon entering the house, Cao Kun first went to check on the progress of the Golden Silkworm Gu's refining process.
Several more of the other Gu worms inside had disappeared, and the scorpion Gu was growing increasingly strange, having completely transformed into a small monster.
Moreover, it has more and more abilities, including many of the abilities of other Gu worms.
"It seems the success rate has increased a bit."
"I won't refine it a second time and end up with the Golden Silkworm Gu."
"That's true. I'm already at the seventh level of Gu poison technique, so the Golden Silkworm Gu embryos I refine will definitely be more powerful, and it's normal for the success rate to be higher."
Cao Kun couldn't help but show a look of anticipation on his face.
"Ring ring..."
The ringing of his cell phone interrupted Cao Kun's thoughts.
Cao Kun took it out and saw that it was a call from Bart, the current Los Angeles area manager of FbI.
"Happy New Year, Master!"
Bart's voice rang out with utmost respect.
Cao Kun continued on the phone, slowly walking upstairs: "You called just for this?"
Bart: "It is very important to congratulate the master. I am already very uneasy that I was unable to call the master immediately."
Cao Kun now understood why Bart was so popular; the kid was indeed good at talking and getting things done.
Cao Kun: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Bart chuckled and said, "A series of mysterious murders has occurred in Los Angeles. The police can't solve it, so the case has been handed over to us."
Cao Kun: "Why don't you just do it the way you always do?"
Cao Kun's approach was simply to find anyone and designate them as the murderer, and that would be enough to get the job done.
Alternatively, they could simply be left unattended, allowing it to become a long-standing, unresolved case.
Bart: "Master, this time it won't work, because people keep dying. We can't ignore it, nor can we arbitrarily designate a murderer."
That's true.
If the murderer is identified, but people are still dying outside, once the matter is exposed, even if Bart, the supervisor, doesn't fall from power, his superiors will have a problem with him.
If people keep dying, that definitely won't work.
Cao Kun said irritably, "So, you called me so I'd clean up your mess?"
Bart sensed Cao Kun's displeasure and quickly explained, "Master, I wouldn't dare think that way. I just want you to give me an idea, to see if we can use people to grind that thing down to death, just like we did with the vengeful ghost last time."
Cao Kun: "I don't even know what's killing people, so how can I come up with ideas?"
How exactly did those people die?
Bart: "The autopsy report from the forensic doctor stated that the cause of death was cardiac arrest."
Strangely, the expressions of each of the deceased were filled with terror, as if they had witnessed something extremely horrific before their deaths.
They appeared to have been scared to death.
"Scared to death?" Cao Kun said, "While it's possible to scare someone to death, it's impossible for everyone to be scared to death."
Since it's cardiac arrest, it's very likely that this thing can affect a person's heart, making them appear as if they've been scared to death.
etc……"
Cao Kun suddenly thought of a ghost that possessed such abilities.
Moreover, the cause and manner of death of the people killed by this ghost were exactly as Barthes described.
The Ring, Sadako.
Of course, that was the Japanese version.
Since it's in the US now, it's very likely the American version, and the ghost in this version is called Samora.
"Master, what's wrong?" Bart asked, sensing that Cao Kun seemed to have thought of something.
Cao Kun: "Did you find a videotape next to the deceased?"
Bart: "The crime scene has been sealed off. There are too many things there, and I haven't looked at them in detail yet."
Cao Kun: "Go and take a look right away, see if any of these deceased people's belongings contain a videotape."
“I’ll go right away,” Bart quickly agreed.
Cao Kun: "Remember, once you find it, don't watch that video recording if you don't want to die."
“I understand, Master,” Bart replied solemnly.
It didn't take long for Bart to send back the results.
His voice was full of surprise: "Master, you're amazing. Videotapes were found in the homes of most of the deceased."
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun was certain that this was the reality of "The Ring".
However, it's unclear whether it's the Japanese version or the Japanese version.
Cao Kun: "It should be that all the deceased watched that videotape."
No, either the videotape was rented, or it was lost or moved.
Bart: "Master, you mean those people died because they watched that videotape?"
"That ghost is hiding in the videotape?"
Cao Kun: "More or less."
"There really are ghosts like this?" Bart exclaimed in amazement. "So, how do we deal with this ghost?"
Cao Kun: "I don't know."
Bart was taken aback: "Master, you don't know how to deal with this either?"
Cao Kun: "Give me a videotape, I need to study it."
“Yes, Master.” Bart dared not refuse.
More than an hour later, Bart personally delivered the videotape: "Master, do you want to watch this videotape?"
Seeing Cao Kun nod, Bart said worriedly, "Master, didn't you say that watching the videotape would kill you?"
Cao Kun: "That's for you guys."
Bart thought about it and agreed.
That ghost can kill ordinary people, but how could it possibly kill its master?
Who knows, after watching the videotape, the owner might just kill that ghost.
Thinking about it this way, Bart actually started to look forward to it.
Seeing Cao Kun return with a videotape, the Holy Son of the Mountain asked curiously, "Master, what kind of videotape is this?"
Cao Kun: "Haunted videotape."
Far from being afraid, Yamashita Seiko's eyes lit up: "Master, may I take a look?"
Cao Kun: "Don't bother watching, that ghost is pretty powerful."
Upon hearing this, Seiko Yamashita hesitated.
If Cao Kun said it's pretty impressive, then it must be really impressive.
She didn't want to die.
Cao Kun locked himself in a room and carefully examined the videotape in his hand.
