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

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Amidst flashes of lightning, An Lan carefully put away the origami crane with a complex expression. He closed his eyes and finally understood—what exactly did this [dungeon] require him to do!

He bit his finger and wrote a new message near the spiral mark on his arm.

[Long-cherished wish], [Freedom], [True liberation].

His arm was covered in dense, blood-red writing. After confirming that the key points for each time period had been written down, An Lan fixed his gaze on the area outside the kitchen...

"Boom!"

sky...

It seems to be getting brighter!

As dawn broke, the surrounding scenery rapidly distorted and sped up...

A new cycle has begun!

......

"Why?!"

"Why----"

It was that familiar little courtyard again, and those familiar voices again.

An Lan stood at the entrance of the Wang family's courtyard, staring blankly at the layout of the courtyard.

I don't know why...

Every time I look at this little courtyard, I feel a little sad.

"Holy crap?"

"Didn't we just get off the bus? How did we get here?"

Mo Han looked into the courtyard, puzzled.

My memories have been reset once again!

He only has memories of what happened after he got off the bus. Logically speaking... [Echo of the Future] reminded him that there was also a "gatekeeper" test when entering the village, right?!

Why did you suddenly come in?

"Is this... the 'joint burial village' where countless people have failed?"

Liu Xuan looked around warily, instinctively closing her eyes. Then! Her expression froze: "No! No! I think I can't use my [Talent Ability] anymore!"

"Huh? How is that possible?"

"Wait! Me too!"

After she finished speaking, Mo Han also tried to close her eyes, her expression turning strange.

"This...this [duplicate] can cause people to lose their abilities?"

"this..."

Amidst a chorus of confused sounds, An Lan felt a strange, sharp pain in his left arm. He looked down and was immediately startled by the dense writing covering his arm!

You are experiencing a time loop; with each loop, you lose your memories!

You've met that girl named Yunhan a few times already; she's of utmost importance...

Mo Han's ability is... The main quest for this dungeon is...

"hiss--"

An Lan frowned as she looked at the words.

These are all his handwritings.

Can!

It cannot be ruled out that this is also some kind of [dungeon] trap.

Hesitating...

"Frame! Frame! Frame!"

"Run faster! Run faster!!!"

In the main house of the Wang family compound, a little boy with a sinister expression was riding a little girl in a skirt, whipping her with a willow branch and making her crawl like a horse...

"Waaaaah—waaaaah—"

"It hurts...it hurts..."

The sound of a girl crying came from the air. An Lan took one look and her doubts vanished instantly!

[Potential Romance Goddess: Yunhan]

[Current favorability rating: 50!]

"this..."

"The system wouldn't lie to me, and the favorability rating wouldn't be this high from the start! So... am I really experiencing a cycle?"

"Stand! Stand!"

"Hurry up! If you don't hurry, you won't get dinner tonight!"

The boy's vicious voice rang out, and An Lan's brows furrowed immediately.

He looked at the boy, anger rising within him, and thought of kicking him. But... after taking a few steps, An Lan suddenly realized: if there really is a cycle, then he must have done the same thing last time!

There is no need to repeat an action that has already been performed once.

Looking down at the notes in her hand, An Lan didn't move, but Liu Xuan stepped forward with an unfriendly expression: "Hey! You—"

"etc!"

An Lan grabbed Liu Xuan's shoulder, and Liu Xuan immediately looked at An Lan with an incredulous expression: "An Lan, you...aren't you going to stop it? Aren't you the one who cares most about girls?"

"I..."

"I know what to do! This is a village. If you lay a hand on that child, we'll be hunted down..."

"so..."

"Tap tap tap—"

Taking two steps forward, An Lan forced a smile and looked at the boy: "Kid! You must be Old Wang's son? Where are your parents?"

"Huh? Who are you? Do you know my dad?"

Upon hearing this, the boy squinted and glared at An Lan.

An Lan smiled casually: "I'm here to do business with your father... Would you like to have another wife?"

"oh?!"

"You are! You're here to deliver goods to the village!"

"right!"

"Hurry up, go and call your father here!"

"Good! Good, good, good! I want two more wives, one to fetch water and wash my feet, and one to be my maid! Hehehe—Dad said, all the women from outside are a money-loser..."

Without even thinking about whether An Lan was actually a deliveryman, the boy, overjoyed at the thought of having a new wife soon, ran out of the yard.

"Anlan!"

"What...what are you saying?"

"How did you end up being the deliveryman for this village?"

"you..."

"Are you a human trafficker?"

Liu Xuan witnessed everything from behind, looking at An Lan with a surprised expression.

An Lan didn't answer her, but silently squatted down and extended her large hand to Xiao Yunhan: "Are you alright?"

"snort--"

At this point in time, Xiao Yunhan didn't seem to know An Lan well. Upon hearing that An Lan was a delivery person, she turned around, wiping her cheeks, her whole body trembling with sobs.

"Bad guy! Bad guy!"

"I want my mom and dad! I want my mom and dad!"

"Waaaaah—waaaaah—"

The girl's helpless voice came through, and An Lan sighed helplessly.

"Why..."

in fact.

An Lan had considered that in this timeline, he could deceive the villagers, and then Liu Xuan and the others could take Xiao Yunhan away from the village.

But... everything here is history, and the future has already been decided!

No matter how An Lan arranges the process, the final outcome will always be that stormy, thunderous night.

Yunhan can't escape the [joint burial village]...

"Thump—"

"Knock knock knock—"

Silently, An Lan took out the rattle drum from her bosom and placed it in Yun Han's arms: "Hey—if you feel uncomfortable, just shake the rattle drum—"

"Your mom and dad will come to pick you up..."

"Um?"

"I...my rattle...I..."

Upon seeing the rattle drum, Yunhan took it in a daze and remained silent for a long time.

【drop--】

[Yunhan's affection for you +15!]

[Current favorability rating: 65!]

......

"Tap tap tap—"

Outside the courtyard, the middle-aged man and woman hurried back. An Lan lowered her head and whispered in Yun Han's ear, "If you can't escape... then don't go..."

"At least, I won't get beaten up so badly by those beasts..."

"Why?"

After saying this, Yunhan looked at Anlan with surprise.

An Lan's expression was complicated, but after turning to look at the middle-aged couple, she immediately put on a smile: "Gentlemen! We're here to replace the previous deliveryman!"

"Men and women, young and old, what age, what appearance!"

"As long as you give me money, I can kidnap any kind of woman for you!"

With a professional smile, An Lan looked at the middle-aged couple, whose faces immediately lit up with joy: "We also need someone who can do farm work!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This time we want a sturdy girl!"

"oh--"

What's your budget?

"Well... well—"

"Friend! Come in and sit down, let's talk slowly—"

The middle-aged couple politely and respectfully led Anlan to their residence.

So much so that the three people standing in the courtyard, including Mo Han, looked at each other, somewhat confused: "Wait? He...he was here before?"

"Does he know anyone in this [dungeon]?"

Mo Han sensed something was wrong!

There's no indication in the [Future] section that An Lan has any connection to this [Instance]?

"Impossible... An Lan couldn't have been here! Wasn't he still at Qingshan Mental Hospital when the last [Joint Burial Village] outbreak occurred?"

Liu Xuan shook her head, directly rejecting the guess.

"Then...why is it that he feels like he's back home in the [dungeon]?"

Mo Han hesitated, wanting to leave the courtyard to look for clues.

Can...

"Ta-da!"

A short while later, he saw a large group of villagers, shovels in hand, surrounding the courtyard, their faces grim. He immediately wilted and stood motionless in the corner.

"Friends! Friends!"

"I want a female college student!"

"I want someone with a big butt, so I can have babies easily!"

"..."

The men outside the courtyard, though their expressions were grim, immediately broke into bright, chrysanthemum-like smiles when they saw An Lan.

The differential treatment left Mo Han speechless.

"Wait a minute...wait a minute!"

"The future isn't like this..."

"..."

I don't know how much time passed, but the evening glow was about to fade. The once bustling courtyard suddenly began to flicker and hum. Dark clouds began to obscure the village, and a ray of cool moonlight shone into the courtyard...

"Buzz—"

An Lan and her three companions were immediately reset at the courtyard gate.

"Clap clap clap—"

The familiar sound of firecrackers exploded!

Tables were laid out in circles in the courtyard, and a banquet was held around a deep pit containing a red coffin. It was incredibly lively!

only...

The villagers sitting in the courtyard were strangely carrying tombstones on their backs, creating an eerie scene.

"What... what's going on here?!"

"Will something strange happen in the village at night? Those villagers! Those villagers!!!"

Mo Han was so frightened by the scene in the courtyard that he took several steps back and stood behind Tie Shan. He subconsciously activated [Future Echo] and heard those three sentences again.

[Fish head and tail], [Pig heart], [Anlan, how dare you disobey my orders].

"Why?!"

"Your abilities have returned?!"

"..."

Mo Han's gaze unconsciously drifted to An Lan, a smirk playing on her lips: "Fine, fine—let me see... how you'll survive to the end..."

He was about to pull Tieshan along and lead the way to the corner table...

In no mood!

"Liu Xuan! Let's go!"

Without even thinking, An Lan pulled Liu Xuan to the corner table!

and!

An Lan avoided the seats at the head and tail of the fish and sat down next to a villager. He turned to Liu Xuan behind him and said, "Hey! Outsiders aren't allowed to sit here! You can stand!"

"ah?!"

"you..."

"How did you know?!"

"You! You didn't actually come to this village, did you?!"
