Life Dungeon Game

"May I?"

He Ao, carrying the bone sword, looked at Fiya, who was standing in front of the door.

At this moment, dozens of yellow dots of light are swirling around Fia's fingertips.

"That should be enough."

Fia nodded slightly, looking at the hotel door in front of her. "We extracted the power of about thirty fixed doors from the entire Newland City-State, which should be enough to generate a door that can pass through at least two Class C doors."

She slowly reached out and placed her hand on the door frame. The floating specks of light moved along her fingertips and quickly merged into the door frame.

The scene in the hallway outside the door flickered and began to change.

The atmosphere in the air became somewhat tense.

"What do you think is behind that door? I don't recall ever seeing a similar area before, unlike the ruins we discovered."

The information they requested doesn't seem to match either.

Seemingly to ease the tension, Kodo said softly, "I see many metal areas occupied by monsters, which look a lot like the Navigator spaceship. Is it the Navigator?"

"Probably not."

He Ao shook his head.

He really did go to the Navigator; the world behind the door wasn't like the Navigator.

“It’s neither like the Navigator nor like ruins,” Codo said, watching the scene behind the door gradually change. “What could it be?”

"Underground Palace."

Chen Lin suddenly spoke.

Everyone present, including Fia who was gathering the light points, was stunned.

Almost all major supernatural organizations in the main world know that the areas within the ruins are divided into three categories: ruined cities, wilderness, and underground palaces.

People know a lot about ruined cities and wilderness, and there is a lot of information about them, but they know very little about underground palaces.

It's not because very few people enter the underground palace; the most widely accepted inference now is that 'almost no one can return from the underground palace.'

The only useful information about the underground palace comes from a joint exploration of the ruins by the three supernatural organizations ten years ago. Almost all the supernatural beings on that expedition were wiped out, with only one person returning alive, but he was delirious and could only repeat "underground palace... underground palace..."

The survivor was unlucky; upon returning, he was transformed into a monster.

The three organizations recovered video recording devices from the survivors, obtaining some information about the underground palace from them.

Most of the data captured by the camera has become invalid, turning into unreadable specks.

Only a few photos and videos show that the survivors went to a dark, windowless, rocky area that appeared to be underground.

The people of the main world do not know what this area was originally used for, but it has indeed evolved into the most terrifying area in the ruins.

Since then, the main world has never learned any further detailed information about the underground palace.

Information about these underground palaces is semi-public; anyone with a keen eye can find it. He Ao also looked it up when he was researching historical sites.

However, the underground palace was too far away from people, and there was no new news about it for nearly ten years. Although everyone knew that this place existed and that it was dangerous, they gradually forgot about it.

If Chen Lin hadn't suddenly brought it up, no one would have realized that there was an underground palace in the ruins.

However, as the term resurfaced in people's minds, after comparing the few remaining documents in their memories with the specific scene behind the door, they discovered that the scene behind the door really did resemble that mysterious 'underground palace'.

"I previously worked for a period of time in the underground palace research group at the research institute,"

Chen Lin looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "The survivors brought back not only video footage, but also some 'things' from the underground palace, including rock samples stuck to their clothes and monster remains left on their bodies."

“We have conducted detailed research on these things, and even created some simulation diagrams of monsters and three-dimensional models of the real scene of the dungeon. The scene I saw behind the door before was very similar to the scene we simulated before, and some monsters also had similarities.”

This is not good news.

interest,"

Kodo sighed, then looked up at Chen Lin, "But you guys actually did such in-depth research? You even made these things? With just that little bit of sample and data?"

"cough,"

Chen Lin covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Our research topic is a bit niche, and it's hard to get funding without some results. The results are credible, but they may deviate a bit from the real scenario, since they are just guesses and simulations."

"If it really is an underground palace, the area behind the door is probably very dangerous."

Kodo looked at Heo and Fia.

The conclusion of various organizations regarding the underground palace remains: "It's not that no one has ever been there, it's just that none of those who went have returned."

There is a research finding that all supernatural organizations can agree on: the monster density in the dungeon is likely far greater than in other parts of the ruins.

"We ourselves are facing dangerous angels or gods,"

Faced with Kodo's concerns, Heo shook his head, "If we know it's an underground palace, it's actually good news for us. It will give us a basic understanding of what's inside and reduce the time it takes to familiarize ourselves with the area."

"All right."

At that moment, Fia released her hand from the door frame.

Behind the office door, the original hotel corridor had been replaced by a deep, cave-like place. There was no light in the depths of the cave, and a faint, terrifying pressure emanated from its darkest depths.

It felt as if something was rapidly approaching from the deepest part.

"The door I forcibly created is unstable, and there seems to be something inside. I need to get through as soon as possible."

Fia looked at He Ao, "This door should be able to let two C-levels pass through, plus one or two C-level extraordinary items."

"Try it."

He Ao nodded slightly, then turned to Chen Lin and Kodo, "I'll have to trouble you with this."

"Ah."

The two nodded.

In the city-state of Newland, there are still threats, including traitors lurking in unknown locations.

Kodo looked at Fia, then at Heo, paused, and said, "Everything went smoothly."

"I accept your good words."

He Ao nodded and walked to Fiya's side.

“This door isn’t very stable; it might break if we go through it from the front or back,” Fia said, looking at He Ao and extending her hand. “Let’s go through it hand in hand.”

"it is good!"

He Ao nodded, and the two stood side by side. He took Fia's outstretched hand with one hand and placed the other hand on his chest. "I'll count to three."

He Ao glanced at Fia beside him, whose face remained calm and composed. "One, two, three!"

The two rushed through the door at the same time.

In that instant, He Ao placed the jade pendant into the pirate's treasure chest and sent his soul into his clone.

Strictly speaking, his body is still at grade C, but the super memory bound to his soul has been promoted to grade B. In order to avoid any accidents, he temporarily removed his soul.

The door leading to the deep darkness flickered violently the moment the two people passed through, like a balloon stretched to its limit by immense force, and then shattered with a soft 'bang.'

The silent hotel corridor once again came into view for the two people who remained there.

"Did it succeed?"

Kodo was somewhat puzzled

He stared at the door.

“It seems they succeeded,” Chen Lin nodded slightly. “I saw that they seemed to have passed through.”

"Should we continue with the original plan to keep the news under wraps?"

Kodo looked at Chen Lin.

“We don’t seem to have any other options,”

Chen Lin shook his head, looked at Kodo, and gave a bitter smile. "Those traitors are probably at least at the peak of C-level combat power. We can only try our best to maintain the status quo and wait for them to come back. If people outside find out that two C-levels have left, things will probably get out of our control."

"What they are facing is probably much more dangerous than what we are facing."

Kodo stared at the empty doorway and sighed softly.

"Above angels,"

Chen Lin glanced back out the window at the unchanging night view of the sky.

There are still no B-level rescuers coming in, and it seems unlikely that any B-level rescuers outside can get in either.

Moreover, the strongest combat force in the main world seems to be only B-rank.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin sighed, "They really think highly of us."

Can we really succeed?

Kodo looked at the sky with a somewhat blank expression.

Although they had tried their best, they were still as weak as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Two C-rank beings, facing that mysterious underground palace and the seemingly angelic figure standing at its very top, were nothing more than fragile moths drawn to a raging fire.

“I don’t know,” Chen Lin shook his head and walked towards the office door. “All we can do is prevent the situation from getting worse before they come back, and not hold them back.”

His hand rested on the doorframe. "Do everything we can."

Kodo watched the retreating figure and sighed softly.

Aren't they also like moths drawn to a flame?

If that 'Hao Yi' were here, what choice would he make?

outside Newland

bass--

The flying coin landed in the large palm.

The whole world was so quiet.

Standing on a desolate island reef, He Ao raised his head and glanced at what lay before him.

The thick fog obscured his body. He turned around and walked toward the mirror behind him.
