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

"I don't know why..."

"But they specifically asked you to go..."

"this..."

Hou Yong's helpless voice came from the other end of the phone. An Lan frowned slightly, then nodded: "Alright! I'll go take a look—"

After hanging up the phone, An Lan got up. Yang Zhenzhen on the bed began to gradually dissipate, turning into a pink halo that lingered behind An Lan...

"Anlan..."

"Why did that guy choose you of all people?"

"In terms of combat ability, you don't seem that impressive on the surface..."

Yang Zhenzhen's puzzled voice came through, and An Lan was equally confused: "I don't know! If he wants me to go, perhaps he chose me for some reason?"

"what?"

"Could it be... could it be because of his ability...?"

"What ability do you possess that only I can accomplish?"

He walked out of the villa with a puzzled look on his face.

When An Lan arrived at floor -3, a group of people had already gathered there.

Upon seeing An Lan arrive, the crowd quickly made way for him. In the convertible sports car, Mo Han jokingly gazed at An Lan: "You've finally arrived—An Lan!!!"

His tone was as if he had known An Lan for a long time, and he had a smirk on his lips.

But An Lan stared at the other person, and in her memory, she had never seen this person before!

"You're the one who called me here?"

"Is it absolutely necessary for me to participate?"

An Lan spoke frankly, and the other party nodded: "That's right! It has to be you! Enough with the nonsense! Get in the car! I can wait for you, but the [Joint Burial Village] can't wait to encroach on this place..."

"Boom!"

The sports car engine roared to life. An Lan glanced at Hou Yong, who gave her a bitter smile.

Helpless, An Lan climbed into the back seat of the sports car. Liu Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay... I'll do everything I can to protect you!"

Thanks!

"BOOM!!!"

The flashy sports car left a trail of exhaust ripples in the quiet neighborhood and drove straight toward a deserted area.

The further we drove towards Huwu, the more gloomy the surrounding weather became.

Upon reaching the territory of Huwu City, it was immediately apparent that the city's high-rise buildings had disappeared, and the air above the city was filled with a dark, gunpowder-like atmosphere!

What should have been a landscape of high-rise buildings and well-maintained roads was instead a vast expanse of black, muddy soil stretching for miles. The outline of a village could be seen faintly in the distance, barely visible amidst the black earth...

"This...this is the [Dungeon Descent]?"

"A city, instantly distorted and vanished?"

This was the first time An Lan had ever seen such a scene, and her face showed fear.

Mo Han parked the car, scrutinized Liu Xuan and An Lan with his gaze, and said coldly, "Don't just stand there! Let's go! Let's go in and see what's so outrageous about this instance..."

"Clatter—"

As soon as he urged him, Tieshan got out of the car and waited behind him.

Liu Xuan and An Lan exchanged a glance, then got out of the car and followed the two into the black fog...

The fog was thick, like a bottomless blackness.

"Clap clap clap—"

"Clap clap clap—"

In the distance, the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard, and a village marker gradually came into view.

[A village of joint burials]!

The monument bears three large characters engraved in blood: "Joint Burial Village." At the entrance to the village stands an old-fashioned gatehouse. Beneath the gatehouse stand two strangely shaped men, coldly watching the outside world.

"call--"

"call--"

A chill permeated the air around the four of them, and Liu Xuan and An Lan both looked tense.

Can...

Mo Han's eyes narrowed as he moved forward: "An Lan? An Lan... In [Echoes of the Future], there's only you... Among all the participants in the entire Zhouchi instance, only you, Ziyou! I've simulated it so many times, and your voice has never disappeared..."

"you..."

"What exactly are their abilities...?"

"tread--"

Mo Han stopped in his tracks at the village monument and suddenly looked up at the gate tower.

"..."

There stood two thin, dark-skinned men dressed in patched, coarse clothes. Their eyes were fierce, like those of wild wolves from a mountain ravine. But what was most puzzling was not their appearance...

Instead... a life-sized stone tablet grew out from the back of their necks!

The stone tablet seemed to emerge from their spines, its grayish-white surface seamlessly connecting to their backs. Engraved on the tablet were identical human faces to theirs!

When the two men looked this way, the face on the stone tablet suddenly twisted and writhes with a "giggle" sound, as if struggling to crawl out of the tablet...

"Grass--"

"How weird..."

Mo Han couldn't understand the entity before him, but he suddenly waved his hand: "Iron Mountain!"

"exist!"

"Clatter!"

The moment the greeting was uttered, Tieshan, without saying a word, strode over to Liu Xuan's side, his large, iron-like hands gripping her shoulders and pulling her towards Mo Han.

"you!"

"What are you trying to do?!"

Caught off guard, Liu Xuan tried to struggle, but no matter what she did, she couldn't shake off Tie Shan's arm.

She lowered her head, her face gloomy, unable to understand what the two were doing.

"Quiet--"

"Do you think I brought you here simply because of your abilities?"

"You... are my ticket!!!"

"Iron Mountain! Let's go!"

Mo Han didn't even glance behind her and walked straight towards the gatehouse.

"Giggle...giggle..."

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, the two thin, dark-skinned men in front of the gate stiffly turned their heads to look this way. Their true forms remained silent; instead, the stone tablets protruding from behind their necks twisted, and the faces on the tablets emitted sinister voices!

"stop!"

"A ceremony is being held at the [joint burial village]!"

"No outsiders allowed!"

"Giggle...giggle..."

The moment they stared at him, Mo Han felt a strange, throbbing pain in his back. Beneath his skin and flesh, his spine seemed to be expanding, as if trying to burst something out...

"Tsk—"

He hurriedly grabbed Liu Xuan, who was being controlled by Tie Shan, and pushed her towards the back of the gatehouse: "Gentlemen! I brought a gift with me!"

"Oh?"

"A gift?"

"You...you can go in now..."

"Tap tap tap—"

Pushed by Mo Han, Liu Xuan involuntarily rushed into the gatehouse. Strangely, when she entered the village, the two gatekeepers remained silent and showed no hostility whatsoever.

Thanks!

Mo Han followed immediately.

After taking a few steps through the gatehouse, Mo Han turned to look at Tie Shan: "Tie Shan, you can't force your way in! I told you, remember?"

"Um!"

Tieshan gave a muffled reply and walked up to the two "gatekeepers".

"stop..."

Before the other party could speak, Tieshan suddenly took out a small knife from his chest. The sharp blade slashed along the thick muscles of his chest, and Tieshan frowned as he actually cut off a large piece of his chest flesh!

"Clatter—"

The man handed the bloody, fleshy slices of meat to one of the "gatekeepers," and the stone tablet with the human face behind the "gatekeeper's" neck slowly grinned.

"The gift giver!"

"Please come in!"

"Um--"

Clutching his chest, Tieshan walked towards the back of the gate tower.

Despite the expected massive bleeding from a laceration, he clutched his chest, and not a drop of blood came out! A short while later... his bloodied chest was covered with new granulation tissue, and pink tissue began to wriggle, visibly growing back!

A dark fog obscured the view.

The three people who entered from behind the gate turned around in unison, their gazes turning to the outside of the gate.

Now...

Only An Lan remained outside!

Mo Han smirked, staring intently at An Lan: "My friend! Once you enter the [Real-World Instance], you're not getting out! Either you'll be stuck outside forever!"

"Or... you could think of a way to come in with us!"

What do you think?

The mocking tone echoed in the black mist, and the two "gatekeepers" also looked at An Lan with unfriendly expressions.

An Lan's face was grim. Watching this series of actions, he had a premonition: it seemed he was walking into Mo Han's trap? The other party's smooth and effortless movements made it seem as if... this wasn't his first time here!

Can...

The initial [Joint Burial Village] instance did not appear in reality, so there was no scene of entering the village.

When the dungeon finally became a reality, there were no live video clips available for reference.

None of those who came to conquer the real-world "dungeon" returned alive. How did he... know the rules for entering the village?
