Life Dungeon Game

He glanced around but didn't find anything special in the small square.

It was already four or five in the afternoon, and evening was approaching. The square was gradually becoming more crowded.

He Ao wandered around the crowd, bought a few skewers of Ruodan's local specialty grilled skewers, and ate them as he walked.

Flyers are usually handed out when there are many people around, so He Ao decided to wait and see.

While he was waiting, Yang De sent him a message.

The message contained a list of Class C or even Class B individuals that the research institute had obtained and that might have recently appeared near Ellen City.

He Ao found a chair, sat down, and opened the list.

This list is divided according to power, and includes Yang De's annotations and analysis.

First, there's Moonlight, who controls Ruodan and should theoretically have the greatest power.

After the Verola incident, one of Moonlight's two B-rank soldiers died and the other was injured, so they are basically no longer able to interfere with Ruodan's side.

However, to ensure that the relic passage does not fall into the hands of others, they dispatched three C-level individuals as the persons in charge in Ruodan this time.

The leader among them was a top-tier C-rank individual codenamed 'The Explorer'. There was very little information about this person; the research institute only knew that he was very strong in combat.

The other two C-levels have already died at He Ao's hands.

However, the research institute received information that after the two C-level operations failed, Moonlight dispatched two more C-levels from its homeland, and these two were quite powerful.

After Sloan was killed and a B-rank was lost, this portal opening event is the first shock Moonlight has encountered.

If they don't handle this situation well and appear too weak, their sphere of influence might be quickly and massively encroached upon by the Western Lands and the Research Institute.

Therefore, Moonlight is determined to obtain this passage.

On the other hand, the World Tree Organization, which belongs to the Western Lands, is also very interested in this passage.

Although the World Tree and Moonlight were allies not long ago, the World Tree is also happy to remove Ruodan, the nail Moonlight planted in the Western Lands.

However, the World Tree and the Research Institute's spheres of influence are directly adjacent on land.

After the research institute raided Moonlight's base last time, severely injuring Moonlight's B-rank officers stationed on the Tia Empire's homeland, World Tree mobilized many people to monitor the research institute's actions on the border. They probably wouldn't dare to let B-rank officers leave their sphere of influence and enter Ruodan to fight against Moonlight.

After all, on the surface, they are still allies and need to work together to deal with the research institute.

Moreover, if they just enter Ruodan and then their base is raided by the research institute like moonlight, they'll have nowhere to turn to complain. It's not worth the huge loss for a single opportunity to enter the passage.

Therefore, Yang De speculated that the World Tree would likely send at least two C-level beings into Ellen, but no B-level beings would be sent.

However, the World Tree's operations in Ruodan are strictly confidential, so the research institute currently has very little information. Yang De only knows that the World Tree has a code name called 'Puppet Master' and that a C-level member should have entered Ruodan.

Besides the World Tree and Moonlight, the research institute also provided one

Other C-level messages that may appear near Ellen.

Dawn has recently seen a contraction of its influence in several places, and Yang De suspects that the C-level officers in those places have been transferred away. Although he doesn't know what those C-level officers are going to do, he cannot rule out the possibility that they might appear in Ellen.

Yang De estimated that at least three Dawn C-ranks might appear in Ellen City, so this was a hidden force, and not weak at all.

However, Yang De was unsure whether Dawn's B-level would appear in Ellen.

Logically speaking, if Dawn's B-rank forces were to forcibly seize the relic passage, they would offend both the World Tree and Moonlight, ultimately resulting in more harm than good. Therefore, Yang De speculated that Dawn's B-rank forces would not intervene.

Besides Dawn, Yang De also mentioned another uncontrollable but highly likely 'B-level' event in Ruodan.

That's the mysterious 'Hao Yi' who appeared in the Verola incident.

Unlike other B-level members, Hao Yi was not part of an organization, so he had no concerns.

He commands the Verola, a ship capable of rapid space travel with exceptional maneuverability. Having already offended the World Tree and Moonlight once during the previous Verola incident, he wouldn't mind offending them a second time.

Therefore, Yang De believes that he is the biggest uncertainty factor in the arrival of this passage.

However, Hao Yi has expressed goodwill to the research institute, so cooperation should be possible.

If Hao Yi eventually appears in Ellen City, Yang De suggests that He Ao not to try to seize it by force, but to cooperate with Hao Yi and give him the passage.

Anyway, as long as it's not a hostile force like the World Tree or Moonlight that gets the passage, it's a good thing for the research institute.

Here, Yang De also emphasized that if He Ao really met 'Hao Yi', he should try his best to get along with Hao Yi.

He Ao paused for a moment upon seeing this.

He and 'Hao Yi' probably... don't need to cultivate a good relationship.

Later, Yang De analyzed some Class C information about small organizations that might be active near Ruodan. These small organizations did not have the ability to observe the arrival of the channel, so they might not necessarily participate in this event.

This time, Ellen is a huge 'stage' where all the forces that have a voice in the main world will step onto this stage to perform, and the spacetime anchor point of the ruins passage is the crown of the ultimate victor.

He closed the file and put away his phone.

He looked up and around. It was getting dark, and there were crowds of people coming and going all around him.

Shops around the square have set up tables and stalls on the road outside, and barbecue restaurants have lit charcoal fires.

There are more and more people.

"elder brother,"

Just then, a soft call came from He Ao's side.

He looked up and saw a little girl with two pigtails standing next to him, carrying a flower basket. She handed him a rose and asked, "Would you like to buy a flower?"

The little girl spoke the local language of Ruodan, and He Ao roughly understood her words by referring to the words in the dictionary he remembered.

"Need not."

He Ao shook his head.

"Oh," the little girl said disappointedly, putting away the flowers. Then she rummaged through her basket and pulled out a flyer. "Shall we watch a show?"

He Ao looked at the flyer in her hand; it was a flyer with a dark red background.

The flyer features a simple line drawing of a young woman dancing, with a faint black shadow covering her body.

In the instant he gazed at the flyer, He Ao seemed to see the young woman whose pose was frozen on the screen slowly begin to move.

As she danced gracefully, the dark shadows on her body gradually peeled away, along with her fair skin. Yet the dancer seemed oblivious to all of this, feeling no pain, and continued to dance with abandon.

Her body was covered in bright red.

But this terrifying and bizarre scene gave He Ao a strange sense of beauty, as if it were the most beautiful art in the world.

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the text at the bottom of the flyer.

It was written in both Tia and Rudanese.

[Metamorphosis Club]

[72 Oak Avenue, starting at 10 p.m. every night]

[This flyer entitles you to one free admission ticket]

This is a soul-stirring performance, unlike anything you've ever imagined.

He glanced at the girl's flower basket; beneath the crowded roses was a smooth bottom.

This indicates that the flyer handed to him was the only one the girl had given him; handing out flyers was not her main job.

He briefly activated his super memory to scan the flower-selling girl.

The soul is weak; it's just an ordinary person, and one with relatively low spirituality. It shouldn't be able to see the strangeness of this flyer.

He Ao squatted down, took the flyer, took out a skewer of the barbecue he had just bought, and handed it to the little girl. He asked softly in broken Ruodanese, "Who asked you to give me this flyer?"

The skewers were a little cold, but that couldn't mask their irresistible aroma.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, swallowed, and turned to point to the other side of the square. "That lady over there asked me to give this to you. She bought three of my flowers and then asked me to give you this flyer."

The little girl spoke very quickly, but He Ao still managed to roughly understand what she meant.

At that moment, the little girl paused, "Hey, where's that older sister?"

The place she was pointing to only had a crowd of people walking around; there was no 'older sister' standing there.

Therefore,

He Ao followed the girl's gaze to the moving crowd, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This wasn't just randomly handing out flyers; it was an "invitation" directed at him.

Things get interesting.

He Ao reached out and took the flyer, then handed the skewer of grilled meat to the girl, saying, "Thank you."

He had already eaten several of these skewers; they weren't poisonous.

For many ordinary people in Ruodan, especially children, eating meat is not a common occurrence.

"Thank you brother!"

The girl took the skewers from He Ao and dashed into the crowd.

He Ao stood up and stared at the flyer in his hand.

Every night at 10 PM, which means it will be on tonight too.

He Ao glanced at the time; it was six o'clock in the afternoon.

There are still four hours until the show starts.

So he ate a meal nearby first, and after he was full, he strolled slowly toward Oak Street.

-

9:30

72 Oak Avenue

This is a courtyard located deep inside Oak Street.

There was no sign in front of the courtyard; only a young man in a sharp suit, with a smile and a pale face, stood at the entrance as a greeter.

The young man was stiff all over, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

The gate to the courtyard was tightly shut, and there was no one in front of it.
