Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"snort--"

"You vixen—"

Once An Lan entered the villa, Yang Zhenzhen's illusory figure emerged from behind her, glaring hatefully at Liu Xuan outside. Liu Xuan turned and left, feeling a sudden chill run down her spine...

She shrank back, looked at the villa [6027] in surprise, and immediately hurried away...

"Zhenzhen..."

"You won't have to clean anymore..."

"These rooms should be enough, right?"

I casually opened the door to one of the bedrooms, where a soft down comforter was neatly arranged. The cabin was brightly lit with an orange glow, and the room was clean and tidy, suggesting that someone regularly came to clean it.

After An Lan lay down on the bed, she noticed a tablet lit up on the bedside table, so she casually picked it up and played with it.

"Ugh—"

"This place is big, but it doesn't feel as cozy as your home..."

Yang Zhenzhen looked left and right, and finally sat in An Lan's lap without any hesitation.

The tablet opens, and a current world situation automatically pops up on it.

[Breaking News: The SS-level terrifying dungeon "Crimson Church" has appeared in the Eagle Kingdom! All five S-level talents who entered the dungeon this time have been killed!]

After the Blood-Red Church became a reality, New York City in the Eagle Nation erupted into chaos, with the death toll expected to reach five figures!

[Latest research suggests that if a terrifying, real-world counterpart is left unattended, it appears to expand its reach by killing people in the real world!]

[The "Tree Spirit Tunnel" horror challenge in India failed; the famous Mother River is overgrown with tree roots, and the Indian capital is suspected of experiencing water supply problems!]

【...】

Questions about the horror scenario becoming a reality keep popping up on the screen.

An Lan was speechless with astonishment!

If the Qingshan Mental Hospital had descended upon Zhouchi City back then, perhaps this small city could have been devoured in an instant, perhaps even half of it?

Feeling the warmth and softness in her arms, An Lan was quickly drawn to a new message.

The S-rank dungeon "Funeral Village," which has descended upon the edge of the coastal city, has begun to expand! If left unchecked, its encroachment will extend to even more surrounding cities!

Cities currently affected by the invasion: Zhou Su, Tongnan, Huwu...

"hiss!"

Looking at the map provided under this message, An Lan's expression immediately turned solemn.

He guessed that when he participated in the [Qingshan Mental Hospital] instance, his superiors must have sent a corresponding "instance participant" to re-enter the [Joint Burial Village] to complete the raid...

but!

The result will likely be failure!

This led to the further deterioration and expansion of the [Joint Burial Village]!

"If this is left unchecked, it'll be heading towards Zhouchi City soon..."

"Tsk..."

"I wonder if Zhouchi City will send someone to intervene..."

Playing with her tablet, An Lan paid no attention to Yang Zhenzhen's teasing in her arms, and silently opened the [Instance Participant] information for Zhouchi City...

[Number of participants in the Zhouchi City instance: 27 in total!]

[Currently alive: 6 people!]

"Tsk..."

"What a dismal survival rate..."

......

Time reversed, and it was the next morning.

Hou Yong led a group of people to stand in the parking lot on the -3 level, looking seriously toward the exit.

"Hiss—"

A conspicuous red convertible BMW drove in.

There were two people in the car: a thin, long-faced young man with a perm and a bald, muscular man with bronze skin and muscles that looked like a human Tyrannosaurus Rex.

They remained seated in the car, showing no intention of getting off, scrutinizing Hou Yong and his group.

After a short while, the young man with the perm raised his chin and slowly spoke: "Have they already told you about the [Joint Burial Village]?"

"I...I said it..."

Hou Yong's expression was not good, but he nodded slightly.

"Um--"

"For the safety of the entire Anhui region, Feihe will now dispatch two high-level [Dungeon Participants] as leaders, and Zhouchi will dispatch [Dungeon Participants] as support, to proceed to [Joint Burial Village] to begin curbing the expansion of the dungeon!"

"I'll just be blunt!"

"We're bringing Liu Xuan with us this time!"

The young man with the perm didn't even glance at Hou Yong, displaying his superiority complex.

Hou Yong pursed his lips, somewhat displeased.

Liu Xuan is currently the only [participant in the dungeon] that Zhouchi City can offer. If she sacrifices herself in the [Joint Burial Village] this time, who will control any future [horror dungeons] that appear in Zhouchi City?

"Damn it!"

"Don't these guys ever consider that things are really going badly for us in Zhouchi?"

Hou Yong clenched his fists and remained silent.

"What's wrong?"

"You're not happy about it?"

"This isn't my intention; this is what the higher-ups want!"

"You're not cooperating?"

"You've got some nerve..."

The young man with the perm is still being aggressive!

"Da da da—"

Just then, Liu Xuan stepped out from the crowd, frowned, and looked at the two people in the sports car, her eyes flashing: "Feihe City, [S-level Talent] Mo Han? [A-level Talent] Tie Shan?"

"You've all been dispatched?"

"It seems that Feihe is really afraid of the [Joint Burial Village] encroaching on their territory..."

"Ho—"

"Stop talking nonsense! If we die this time, do you think Zhouchi City can escape the 'Joint Burial Village'? Get in the car! We're heading to the 'Joint Burial Village'!"

Mo Han glared at Liu Xuan, who glanced at Hou Yong, nodded to him, and strode towards the convertible sports car.

There's nothing we can do about it!

If we don't pool our resources to conquer the [Funerary Village] now, and wait for this dungeon to grow stronger, it will only cause collateral damage!

"Shall we go?"

With a cold expression, he walked to the back seat of the car, and Liu Xuan urged him on.

In no mood!

Mo Han actually waved his hand: "Hey—don't rush! Feihe has already sent two [Instance Participants]! You guys should at least send one more, right?"

"Who do you want?!"

"Yan Yue... or..."

Liu Xuan asked irritably, assuming that the other party wanted to drain the talent pool of Zhouchi City.

Can...

Mo Han shook his head: "Neither—I still want An Lan from here! I want him to join our four-person team and head to the [Funeral Village] to solve the dungeon expansion!"

"An Lan?!"

"You want Anlan?!"

Upon hearing this, not only Liu Xuan, but also Hou Yong was stunned!

An Lan is just a dungeon participant with an [E-level talent]. Although he has gained some fame for solving [S-level dungeons], he shouldn't be chosen by name by his superiors, right?

What is Mo Han trying to do?

Should we use him as a testing ground?

But there's no need for that!

Instead of having a low-level "dungeon participant", wouldn't it be better to pull a high-level "dungeon participant" away as a trial and error tool?

"you..."

"What exactly do you want?!"

Hou Yong glared at Mo Han, whose face darkened. Mo Han shrugged: "That's none of your business! Anyway, I just want An Lan! That's my decision, and it's also the decision from above!"

"You dare disobey?!"

Mo Han's tone gradually turned cold. Hou Yong gritted his teeth and finally, helplessly, dialed An Lan's number...

......

at that time.

【6027】In the bedroom of the villa.

An Lan was holding Yang Zhenzhen, watching international news together.

"Beep beep beep—"

After answering his phone, he paused for a moment, then his expression turned strange: "What?! You want me to go and, along with a few high-level 'dungeon participants,' stop the [Funeral Village] dungeon?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"
