Life Dungeon Game

After a long while, she cautiously nodded.

Although Heo's request sounds absurd, she seems to have realized something, having grown up in the chaotic island of Vinland.

She looked at He Ao, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother, wait a moment."

Then she dashed into the house, and after a while, she handed He Ao a straw amulet, saying, "Brother, the goddess of fortune will protect you."

"Thank you."

He Ao took the amulet from those small hands and gave a faint smile.

Core Island Maple Leaf Hotel

Wu Lan stared at the mirror in front of her and reached up to gather her long hair behind her head.

She removed the red hair from between her pursed lips.

A rope was used to tie her beautiful long hair into a high ponytail.

The roar of the train seemed to echo in her ears, and Hao Yi's words from last night flashed through her mind.

She looked at herself in the mirror, reached out and tidied her ponytail to prevent it from falling loose, then took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

The first thing that catches her eye is the array of mirrors, placed in various locations throughout the spacious restaurant. These mirrors maximize the visual space while protecting privacy, making the already large restaurant appear even more grand and expansive.

The clock on the wall is pointing to eleven o'clock.

"This design is quite unique."

Wu Lan walked to a seat by the window and looked at the man sitting opposite her.

"Of course, the Maple Leaf Hotel is a landmark building in Newland City-State, and all the designs in the hotel were created by world-renowned designers,"

West smiled and handed the menu to Wu Lan. "Ladies first. The grilled snails at this restaurant are very good."

"So you called me here specifically because you have some information to share?"

Wu Lan took the menu and casually asked a question as she flipped through the pages.

"Can't we just have a special welcome dinner for you?"

West smiled and glanced at the city outside the window.

"Actually, you overestimate my power. The situation in Newland City-State is very complicated. I am a local, and the Empire doesn't trust me much. Although Moonlight was pressured by the City-State Council to appoint me as the person in charge of Newland City-State, it also sent a 'deputy' from headquarters to keep me in check. I don't have as much real power as you think, and I don't have access to a lot of information."

"Shouldn't the welcome dinner have been held yesterday?"

Wu Lan continued flipping through the menu, "And you're the one in charge here, aren't you? The information I've received is that you've basically taken control of Moonlight's organization in Newland City-State, and you've established a 'temporary branch' on the core island. Most of Moonlight's staff are in your temporary branch, obeying your orders."

"The forces from the Tia Empire itself and your deputy who controls you are placed in the 'Moonlight Branch' on Vinland Island to handle some trivial matters."

She paused slightly, then said, "So, Mr. Head, you're not truly loyal to Moonlight Headquarters. Could we have opportunities to cooperate, such as regarding intelligence about the recent disappearance of the research institute branch?"

"Your intelligence agencies are truly ubiquitous."

West reached into his pocket, pulled out a small silver coin, and sighed softly, "Well, where are you in your investigation so far?"

Before Wu Lan could speak, West fiddled with the coin in his hand and said to himself, "Let me guess, the investigation report on the disappearances throughout the city-state?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lan stopped what she was doing, looked up at the man in front of her.

hum-

It was the sound of a coin being flicked into the air.

"It's you?!"

Wu Lan realized what was happening, immediately stood up, and leaped backward.

A fiery red whip suddenly flew out, lashing towards West, who was sitting opposite him.

However, the whip only struck empty air; West's figure had already appeared in front of her at some point, and then...

Tong Shandian reached out and grabbed Wu Lan by the neck.

"That's why I said, can't your dog noses be a little less sensitive?"

West calmly gazed at Wu Lan, who was being held up by the throat with her feet dangling in the air. "It has nothing to do with you. Sometimes, not understanding anything can make you die a little happier."

Wu Lan struggled to raise the whip again, but West suddenly grabbed her wrist with his other hand.

Then West used both hands forcefully, as if pinching a chick, and flung Wu Lan's body violently, crashing into the glass on the side.

boom--

Glass shards flew everywhere.

Wu Lan's other hand, which was reaching for her phone, was also thrown out of control by the sudden movement, and the phone flew away.

The dark screen had lit up, displaying the dialer interface.

A call to 'Hao Yi' had already been made, but the screen flickered for a second and then went dark again.

Do you think there will be a signal here?

West looked at her with a smile.

Wu Lan's body had already been pushed out of the window. A gust of cold wind brushed against her cheeks. She glanced down and saw that beneath her feet was not an empty city, but a hollow void.

At that moment, she finally realized something and looked into the restaurant.

The restaurant, which used to have a few customers, was now deathly silent. The surroundings were so quiet that it was as if everything outside had been erased.

Only now did she seem to finally understand. Looking at West, she uttered a difficult, hoarse sound from her choked throat, "The mirror...it's the mirror..."

"very smart."

West grabbed Wu Lan's hand and flung her backward, sending her flying into a pillar with a mirror inside.

The blow was extremely powerful, and a trickle of blood with a yellow glow spilled directly from the corner of her mouth.

She struggled to her feet, glanced at the pillar, and realized that under normal circumstances, given the impact and her physical strength, the pillar should have been shattered. However, she was the one who was injured, while the pillar remained unharmed.

The restaurant's scene is currently reflected in the mirror next to the pillar.

However, this scene is different from the world Wu Lan is in at this moment. A waiter carrying a tray is walking through the world in the mirror.

The real world is what's in the mirror, while the place she's in now is a kind of 'reflection,' a world within a mirror.

Wu Lan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. "You used this method to make everyone in the research institute branch 'disappear'?"

In that instant, West pulled her into the world reflected in the mirror.

"Isn't it amazing?"

West stared at Wulan. "This is a miracle."

“Tch,” Wu Lan stood up and flicked her long whip, “Just a supernatural tool.”

She raised her hand and lashed out with her whip at West.

West stepped back, dodging the whip.

The end of the whip lashed the dining table behind him, shattering it instantly.

"I've gotten stronger, that's interesting."

West glanced at Wu Lan, took two steps back, raised his hand, and drew a rapier from the corner of a dining table.

Wu Lan was just about to raise her whip and swing it again when West appeared in front of her once more.

too fast.

她根

This camera couldn't capture West's movements.

The slender sword pierced her body in an instant, and blood splattered out.

However, the longsword only pierced halfway in; the other half was tightly gripped by Wu Lan's outstretched hands, and blood flowed down her palms.

"Oh, although you look no younger, your physical strength and ability to withstand damage are still quite strong."

West glanced at her, a smile on his face, and with a slight exertion, the blade suddenly shot forward, the sharp tip piercing out from behind Wu Lan.

"Damn it, I'm the one who..."

Wu Lan gripped the rapier tightly and slowly pulled it out of her body. "Twenty-eight!"

"Oh!"

West suddenly drew his rapier.

The sudden change in force caused Wu Lan to lose her balance and lean forward. Then, in the next second, West's rapier, which had been turned back, pierced her body once more.

More and more blood flowed from the wound. West drew his rapier and took two steps back.

Wu Lan swayed slightly. She stared at West, seemingly preparing to raise the long whip in her hand again, but this time, she only raised her hand briefly before not lifting it again.

But she did not give up, and tried again and again to lift the whip.

Finally, she gave up raising the whip in her hand, instead placing her hand on her waist, seemingly using her last bit of strength to charge towards West.

West dodged the impact with a light touch, while Wu Lan crashed into the table, swaying and nearly falling over.

This time, West walked over, glanced at the small knife hidden in Wu Lan's waist and palm, reached out and grabbed Wu Lan's neck, lifted her up again, and led her to the largest mirror in the space.

Just as the two approached the mirror, faint ripples spread across its surface, and their figures passed through it effortlessly, as if gliding across water.

After the two left, the silent space flickered briefly before collapsing and being swallowed by nothingness.

In Wu Lan's view, the next second, they appeared in a magnificent room.

The room was filled with mirrors, and the floor was covered with streaks of blood.

"leader!"

A tall woman saw West approaching and quickly came over with a wooden shackle.

"Um."

West threw Wu Lan on the ground. "Cuff him, and take everything off him while you're at it."

"Yes."

The woman reached out and, under West's gaze, handcuffed Wu Lan with wooden shackles. She watched Wu Lan try to break free of the shackles and said, "Don't try to resist. These are shackles imbued with divine grace. Even at your peak, with your C-level strength, you can't break free."
