All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"Captain, that's practically fouling..."

Looking at the elite monster that suddenly floated up and transformed into several pieces of paper like shadow puppets, drifting over to the ground, and then looking up at the stage, I realized that...

The opera music, which had just begun to play and sing, stopped abruptly again after less than a minute.

Meanwhile, the boss, Su Wanniang, the "Playful Master of the Play," was kneeling on the ground, her body limp and stiff, her body crumbling into large pieces of paper like a paper doll.

Until finally, his whole body completely collapsed.

Only one thick hemp rope remained, the one that had been wrapped around the other person's neck.

Xu Daili's lips twitched, but her feet were already running quickly towards the stage.

Song Jiao'er glanced at the boss, who, despite being supported by three boss-level "cheat codes" around Chu Hong, didn't even last a single round before being disintegrated and killed on the spot.

His face, however, was filled with deep worry.

"Old Tang said that in the real Ghost Town, unless it is an elite team with a Core Condensation Realm pioneer, even ordinary teams with all members at the Energy Gathering Realm would not dare to easily set foot in this area."

"So, 'Secret' is already so-so. You're saying your 'Special Operations Division' can generate a 'Ghost Town' that's top secret?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong burst into laughter.

"What are you worried about? You're not going to die!"

One sentence instantly dispelled the worry on Song Jiao'er's face, and the tension between her brows completely relaxed at that moment.

She hadn't fully recovered from the tension and anxiety of the real-life secret realm.

Only after Chu Hong said that did they realize what was going on.

Yes!

It's not like you'll really die! What's there to be afraid of?

At this moment, Xu Daili, carrying the "Soul-Severing Rope," quickly ran over from the stage.

"Quick, quick, I know where the boss's container is after it dies..."

The boss, Su Wanniang, is not like the monsters that Chu Hong and his companions encountered before.

After death, you can directly touch the container containing the body.

The "Soul-Severing Rope" was more like a key. At that moment, Xu Daili quickly ran out of the theater and came to the large banyan tree that they had trampled on and was lying on the ground, its whole body burned to charcoal.

The Soul-Severing Rope in her hand was lashed out at the roots of the banyan tree by Xu Daili like a whip.

The rope that was originally around the boss's neck suddenly seemed to have caught something invisible as Xu Daili pulled it.

A brocade box, shimmering with a hazy, dark blue aura, appeared before them.

Xu Daili looked at Chu Hong.

Chu Hong didn't stand on ceremony.

He stepped forward and placed a hand on the brocade box.

Searching for "Su Wanniang's Private Collection Box": ...

A black box appears for searching.

A 1x1 single square, and a 2x2 four-square square!

The search icon starts spinning.

Chu Hong held his breath in anticipation.

"Ding!"

The blue light appeared first.

【Blush (Blue)】

Useless thing!

The second item then began to spin, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Chu Hong was already able to clearly deduce the item's level based on the time it took for the search icon to rotate.

As one or two seconds passed.

Chu Hong silently recited in his mind: "White...green...blue...purple...gold..."

What the hell!

It's about to turn red!

"Ding!"

A crimson light burst forth!

next second.

A pair of exquisite red Chinese-style embroidered shoes with mandarin ducks appeared in Chu Hong's hands.

[Item Name]: Courtesan's Embroidered Shoes

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 1,377,420

【Type】：Home Furnishings

【Weight】: 0.2kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×2

[Item Description]: These are Su Wan Niang's favorite embroidered shoes, not only because of their exquisite craftsmanship, but also because Su Wan Niang wore them to escape several life-or-death crises.

"Holy crap! Another red one! Captain, this Special Operations Division is having an amazing time! The drop rate is even more outrageous than the top-secret dungeons in real life!"

Xu Daili stared in shock, her mouth agape.

Even Song Jiao'er, who was standing to the side, looked at the pair of embroidered shoes in Chu Hong's hands with astonishment.

This red color, though it looks a bit creepy, gives me the creeps.

However, a large red item worth over 1.3 million energy points is definitely not comparable to a small red item like a [precious gold watch].

"I wonder what effect this thing will have when fused into a source core..."

Chu Hong looked at the four-segment [Source Energy Space] with a troubled expression.

Unfortunately, it seems that only the master of the Special Operations Division has this function. Although Song Jiao'er and the others enjoy the effect of not actually dying when they die in the secret realm, they do not have the Source Energy Space.

Fortunately, he won't die easily in the secret realm now, so there's no need to worry about the big red item in his backpack falling out upon death...

[Ancient Ancestral Hall Stage] The clear map is now complete.

Xu Daili was searching outside for one by one the [Ghostly Amalgamation - Hanged Ghost].

Chu Hong and Song Jiao'er then re-entered the theater.

There are many search containers in the ancient temple stage, and several of them are said to be able to yield gold and red items.

Search results for "[Ju-on Paper Doll - Guan Dao Martial Artist]": ...

A black box appears during the search.

一个很有格调的排布，1×1的一格，1×2的两格，1×1的一格。

Ding!

【Suture needle and thread (green)】

Ding!

Ink (Blue)

Ding!

【Paper money (white)】

"Tsk... Is this considered a return to the drop rate of normal dungeons?" Chu Hong curled his lip.

One hand reached for another paper figure on the ground beside it.

Search results for 【Ju-on Paper Doll - Water Sleeves and Green Robe】: ......

2x3!

Upon seeing the outline of the item, Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly.

Is there still stock?

The search icon spins... one second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Ding!"

Golden light shone forth.

[Item Name]: Water Sleeve Butterfly Dress

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 577,111

[Type]: Craft collectibles

【Weight】: 0.9kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×3

[Item Description]: A masterpiece of opera costume, but tainted by the malevolent energy of a curse, causing some strange changes. Wearing it allows you to freely change the style and color of the clothing without affecting the effects of other garments.

Chu Hong's eyes lit up; he had actually revealed the clothing of the elite monster [Water Sleeve Green Robe]?

Moreover, looking at the clear functional effects in the item description, Chu Hong couldn't help but smile slightly.

Isn't this just like having an extra "cosmetic skin" that can cover equipment?

"What are you laughing at? Why do you laugh so strangely?"

Song Jiao'er, who had just finished touching the [Ju-on Paper Doll: Shadow Clown] and pulled out a bunch of "Blue Sky and White Clouds" items, instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"Nothing, just thinking about some happy things..." Chu Hong didn't explain, but quickly put the gold-quality [Water Sleeve Butterfly Dress] into his backpack.

The main hall of the ancient ancestral hall, which houses the stage, is located within the main hall of the ancestral hall on one side of the stage.

Right in the center of the altar.

According to Xu Daili, there is a chance that the top-tier red item [Guan Sheng Di Jun Statue] from the Ghost Town Secret Realm will spawn on this altar.

However, the probability is extremely low.

For example, right now, what Chu Hong sees is a plate of small purple pastries.

[Item Name]: Tribute Pastries

[Item Level]: Purple

Value: 27,891

[Type]: Energy-rich cuisine

【Weight】: 0.3kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: Offering pastries tainted by Yin energy. Units with Yin energy can recover some of their energy consumption after consuming them. Units without Yin energy will enter a state of hallucination and confusion.

Chu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Previously, when Chu Hong explored other maps, even if he found some edible food items, they were all categorized under "household items".

This is the first time I've seen "Source Energy Delicacies" directly drop in a secret realm.

He still remembered that the source core item [Ghost Immortal Peach] that was taken from Wang Guangyi was placed in the [Big Red Collection Room]. The effect of the display case was that it gave him Yin energy as soon as he entered the map.

Chu Hong picked up a piece. The pastry's appearance was somewhat unappealing due to the taint of yin energy, but...

"Hmm~ It's mixed nut filling, not bad."

As he casually savored a piece of [tribute pastry], the little source energy he had consumed was almost completely restored with just a few chews.

His gaze fell upon a wooden box on the offering table.
