The Mysterious Dungeon: A Survival Guide to the Twelve Talismans

“Okay, okay, no problem.” Li Shengsheng agreed immediately.

The two finished eating a whole table of food, and without them even having to clean up, the bowls and chopsticks simply disappeared.

"Let's go, let's stake out that official we killed yesterday." Zhou An directly possessed Li Shengsheng's body.

"Weren't they already killed? Can we still stake them out?" Li Shengsheng asked doubtfully.

He only saw Zhou An's evil spirit kill Mu Zhong, but he didn't see the evil ghost that was killed in his place.

“Have you forgotten? Spirit Pacters can be sacrificed in place of others. Once this guy comes back, he’ll definitely only be able to stay on Commercial Crossroads.”

“All we know is that he’s an official; other officials are hard to find,” Zhou An said.

Li Shengsheng nodded: "That's right, let's go then."

Li Shengsheng immediately went out and went to the nearest airport.

……

Meanwhile, in a basement somewhere.

An Yufei flipped through the information on Mu Zhong and the evil spirit, feeling a headache coming on.

Yesterday, Twilight Bell was killed, and the evil spirit was killed in its place and entered the instance.

The authorities managed to suppress the news of the demon's death, but the subsequent arrangements gave An Yufei a headache.

Chapter 78: We finally met an official!

The spirit contract holder of Twilight Bell is killed in place of Twilight Bell. When Twilight Bell returns, the authorities will send a spirit contract holder to sign a contract with him.

Mu Zhong is still the official person in charge of the May 1st Square area.

Looking at the playback on the monitor, An Yufei saw that it was Zhou Andong's hand.

There's definitely no need for Song Yu to make contact with Zhou An now, since he previously mentioned wanting to.

Because once Mu Zhong returns from the instance, he will definitely kill Zhou An.

As the rule-making tool possessing the supernatural monitoring device, Mu Zhong would inevitably come to him to inquire about Zhou An's location.

An Yufei knew where Zhou An was; it was in the XX resettlement community.

They even learned that Zhou An had signed a contract with a high school student.

However, An Yufei is currently unaware of Li Shengsheng's identity.

Because whenever Zhou An and Li Shengsheng appeared outside at the same time, Li Shengsheng would always wear a stone hat, which meant that Li Shengsheng would never be noticed.

The only reason he was certain he had signed a contract with a high school student was simple: Zhou An had appeared at Changsha No. 1 High School.

If he spends a little time checking all the high school students in the neighborhood, he can find out who the Spirit Contract holder is.

What's troubling him now is that if Mu Zhong tries to kill Zhou An, the authorities will help Mu Zhong kill Zhou An.

Once Zhou An dies, the Spirit Pactee will die in his place.

"Song Yu, Song Yu, why haven't you come back yet?" It's been several days, and Song Yu still hasn't returned, which makes An Yufei very uneasy.

Almost immediately, An Yufei shuddered.

He could feel his power increasing again.

It was Song Yu who returned.

"Why do you look so worried? Have you encountered some difficulties?" Song Yu's figure stepped out from An Yufei's body.

"You're finally back. That guy Mu Zhong got killed by Zhou An." An Yufei directly revealed information that shocked Song Yu.

"Huh? Are you sure? Zhou An only became a player not long ago, right? He's only reached one level at most."

“And Mu Zhong is already LV39, the strongest one in Changsha.” Song Yu said in surprise.

"See for yourself." An Yufei directly pulled up the video recording of Zhou An's evil spirit killing Mu Zhong.

After reading it, Song Yu frowned: "Zhou An is unaffected by Mu Zhong's attack, so it seems he has a powerful defensive item."

“You’re right, this is really troublesome. How about this, we’ll ignore everything, and you can ignore Mu Zhong when she tries to contact you.”

"Are you sure? What if Mu Zhong tries to bribe us?" An Yufei didn't really want to get involved because it was too much trouble.

"Let's see what price he's willing to offer. If it meets our expectations, we'll tell him Zhou An's location," Song Yu said after a moment's thought.

“Okay.” An Yufei nodded.

……

Sculpture Garden on the 7th floor of the IFC.

Wearing a stone hat, Li Shengsheng sat atop the sculpture's head, listlessly watching the bustling crossroads below.

"How boring! Are we going to have to stay here all night?" Li Shengsheng wanted to go home and sleep.

At first, I was very excited to be here.

But after two hours, the excitement disappeared, and all that remained was boredom.

"What time is it now?" Zhou An asked.

Li Shengsheng took out her phone and glanced at it: "It's ten o'clock now."

"Let's wait another fifty minutes. If it doesn't arrive, we'll take the last Jet 6 train!"

"Yeah, but if this guy dies in the dungeon, then we've waited for nothing," Li Shengsheng added.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Zhou An couldn't find any other officials, so he had to resort to this clumsy method.

As time passed, it came to 10:50.

"It's almost time, let's go, otherwise we'll miss the expressway!" said Bi Xincha.

"Hmm," Li Shengsheng responded, and stood up from the sculpture.

Although it was already 11 o'clock, the intersection below was still bustling with people, and the flow of people did not decrease at all because of 11 o'clock.

"There are so many people," Li Shengsheng remarked.

"Changsha's nightlife is unimaginable for northerners. When I first came to Changsha, my friend dragged me here at three in the morning to have a bowl of braised noodles." Zhou An recalled those days with a touch of melancholy.

Everything is irreversible.

He died, and that was it. He didn't know if he would be resurrected as he leveled up.

He knew too little information.

At that moment, a black aura flickered up in the center of the intersection.

Then a figure emerged from the darkness.

“We’re back. It’s Mu Zhong,” Zhou Anton said excitedly.

I thought I'd been waiting in vain, but they actually got to see me.

"We've finally got it? That's wonderful!" Li Shengsheng was also very happy.

"Shall we just take action? Or what?" Li Shengsheng was eager to try.

"You just stay here and watch. You don't need to do anything. Remember, you can't take off the stone hat."

“I’ll send the evil and benevolent entities to capture him alive.” As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, the benevolent and evil entities emerged from Li Shengsheng’s body.

Just then, five fully armed taxi drivers stepped out of an armored vehicle parked in the square ahead.

They hurried toward the location of the evening bell.

However, before they even arrived, the leader suddenly looked up at the sculpture.

Mu Zhong naturally noticed the five soldiers as well, and subconsciously followed the leader to look at the popular sculpture on the seventh floor of the IFC.

"It's you!!!" Mu Zhong instantly locked onto the benevolent and malevolent entities.

"Oh dear, we've been exposed. That soldier can see you." Li Shengsheng said with a laugh.

"Old dog, we've been waiting for you here all day. We thought you'd died in the dungeon." The evil entity grinned and leaped down from the sky.

The benevolent beings followed suit, landing safely and striding towards dusk.

"Do the two of you have the ability or tools to split yourself into two?"

"Kid, I cleared the dungeon this time and leveled up to 40. My strength has increased significantly. Are you... ready to die?" Mu Zhong also looked at the evil entity with a savage smile.

"Midnight, wait a moment, sign the contract with me first," the lead taxi driver shouted hurriedly.

Then he looked at Zhou An's malevolent form: "Zhou An, don't make a move yet."

The evil entity paused, frowning as it looked at the leading taxi driver.

"Do you know me?"

Zhou An above also frowned: "Sheng Sheng, it seems my identity has been exposed, and yours has most likely been exposed as well."

"Strange, how did we get exposed?" Li Shengsheng's expression also became serious.

“It seems the authorities have their own special methods. Let’s wait and see. You can do whatever you want, you evil entity.” Zhou An chose to wait and see.

"Old Ben, leave things to me," the evil entity replied.

When Mu Zhong saw the evil spirit stop walking, he didn't continue his attack. Instead, he walked towards the soldiers.

He was also wary of Zhou An's strength, so he decided to sign a spiritual contract with the officials first, so that he could have an extra life.

Chapter 79 Identity Exposed?

"You still want to sign a spirit contract? Do you think I'm invisible?" The evil entity raised its hand and fired a fireball.

Upon seeing this, Mu Zhong's pupils contracted sharply.

He tried to dodge, but the fireball was too fast.

"Life Protection!" Mu Zhong shouted suddenly.

A deafening boom!

The fireball struck Twilight Bell's thigh.

A transparent light barrier blocked the attack that could have killed a level five monster.

A powerful aura spread outwards.

The lead taxi driver was unsurprisingly thrown into the air.

The four soldiers behind him watched in utter bewilderment as their company commander was sent flying.

"Company commander, company commander!" They rushed over and helped the company commander, who had fallen to the ground, up.

"Ahem, they've started fighting. We can't stop them. Let's move aside." The company commander coughed twice, waved his hand, and hurriedly led his men to retreat.

Some tourists also spotted the company commander flying, and they all looked over, discussing and exclaiming in surprise.

However, since they couldn't see the players, they didn't cause too much of a commotion.

"In that case, we'll kill you all first."

“Perfect timing. I’ve awakened a new ability this time, so I’ll use you two to practice.” Mu Zhong looked at the malevolent and benevolent entities with a fierce expression.

"Don't waste time with him, just wipe him out, don't hold back." Zhou An was worried that Mu Zhong had special methods.

After all, the strange world has rules, skills, and items.

This kind of unsolvable ability might not even be suppressed by the power of talismans.

"Old Ben, are we leaving no survivors?" the Evil Spirit asked Zhou An, frowning.

“Don’t keep him. That soldier over there should know something.” Zhou An’s gaze fell on the company commander watching the battle from afar.

"Alright, with your words, I'll scatter his ashes." As the evil entity finished speaking, it spread its hands, and a fiery explosion was born.

The same applies to the benevolent body, which gathers explosive fireballs in its palms.

Seeing this, Mu Zhong's fierce gaze hardened.

He originally thought that the move from the evil entity was his trump card, or that he wouldn't be able to use it again for a while.

But now it seems... it's just a basic attack.
