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

The clear sound of the suona, carrying a chilling, unsettling chill, came from all directions.

Chu Hong and Donald immediately looked around.

Dense fog!

Unlike the [Top Secret - Ghost Town], which is merely a change in environment due to the night, the entire map of [Hell Level - Ghost Town] seems to be completely shrouded in a thick, eerie fog with obvious energy fluctuations.

"Captain, we're currently at the landing point in the northwest of the secret realm, near the [Abandoned Building]..."

Donald had loaded his sniper rifle.

Both of them, however, had their eyes fixed on the wide dirt road in front of them.

A somber funeral procession slowly approached from afar, scattering paper money as its figures seemed to emerge from the thick fog.

The ability to perceive pure energy sources was severely suppressed.

The suppression was even more severe than it had been in the [Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital].

The mournful sound of jingling music grew louder as it approached.

However, this time the sound didn't just come from the road to the east; a funeral procession of the same kind suddenly appeared on the other road to the north.

[Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface] Showcase Effect, Activated!

The original source energy perception suppression was rendered useless in the face of Chu Hong's "cheat code".

However, after seeing the situation in the secret realm, a look of surprise flashed across Chu Hong's eyes.

"This [Hell-level Ghost Town] is completely under the control of the boss [Su Wan Niang, the Playful Master] from the very beginning..."

He murmured.

After the thick, eerie fog was cleared away, all the monsters in Ghost Town were clearly, from a god-like perspective, heading precisely towards Chu Hong and his group.

"The boss has discovered our arrival, and these are all her henchmen..."

Donald's eye twitched violently.

A lowly soldier?

These funeral palanquin bearers and funeral corpses all have energy levels at least at the seventh or eighth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, and some have even reached the ninth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, the same level as him.

Can Chu Hong, a young man, still calmly refer to the other party as "little soldier"?

Just as Donald was feeling frustrated and preparing to vent his anger on these monsters, he had just raised his sniper rifle, but before he could fire...

Suddenly, it felt as if something lifted his body up.

Holy crap!

Donald let out a pitiful scream, like an old man on a roller coaster.

As if suddenly losing weight, my body was violently propelled into the sky.

He stared in shock as he stepped on a cloud of mist, like a god, and directly crossed the encirclement of the entire Ghost Town.

They descended directly upon the ancient shrine stage where the boss, Su Wanniang, the "Playful Master of the Play," was located.

Donald still looked shaken even when his feet touched the ground.

"Huff huff huff... Captain, what I'm saying is, this old man is all bones, could you please give me a heads-up next time...?"

In two seconds, someone grabbed him and lifted him hundreds of meters into the air.

Then, in a sudden two seconds, it plummeted straight down from the sky...

Let alone an old man like Donald, anyone else would have been unable to withstand Chu Hong's antics.

"Bang--!"

In response to Donald, Chu Hong kicked open the door of the [Ancient Temple Stage] in front of him.

The immense power, amplified by the display case of the [Guan Sheng Di Jun statue], sent the solid wood door, which exuded a sinister and decaying aura, flying sideways with a single kick.

"Boom!"

The audience seats were smashed.

Inside the ancient ancestral hall stage, the music played by wind and string instruments suddenly stopped.

"Sing! Why the hell did you stop singing?!"

Despite the fact that the audience was filled with at least two or three levels of the Core Condensation Realm [Netherworld Paper Dolls], Chu Hong showed no sign of worry whatsoever.

He completely ignored the "elite monsters" in front of him.

Looking at the boss on the stage, whose makeup and costume seemed more exquisite than those of [Top Secret - Ghost Town], and who also had less of a terrifying aura, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

Su Wannian gave him a mournful look, which made Chu Hong's originally arrogant expression suddenly become a little awkward.

My behavior was just like that of a lowly hoodlum who had barged into someone's refined hall.

"Young master, on this stage I sing of the suffering of the underworld, and those sitting below are all travelers to the netherworld. You, a mere mortal, have intruded, needlessly disturbing the tranquility of this opera troupe... I have lived a life of dignity and have never wished to provoke a living person. But how can you, a mortal, disrupt the rules of this stage? Tell me, how can I not be put in a difficult position?"

The word "difficult" had just been uttered with a touch of theatrical tone at the end.

The paper figures from the underworld, whose "refined mood" had been disturbed by Chu Hong and his companion, all turned ferocious and pounced on the two of them.

"No, your boss only said he was in a difficult position, and you bunch of spineless cowards started attacking?!"

Chu Hong muttered curses under his breath.

The body reacted in an instant.

[Paranoia Observer's Relics] Display Case Effect Activated!

After blocking out possible illusion attacks.

Chu Hong followed immediately.

[Cicada's Song Across the Sea, Monk's Hat] Display Case Effect, Activated!

"How dare you!"

Accompanied by a sharp shout from Chu Hong.

"boom--"

The twenty or thirty [Paper Dolls of the Underworld] that were originally rushing towards him suddenly dropped to the ground as if they had seen something terrifying in the world.

Clear cracks even appeared on its body, like pieces of paper breaking apart.

"Old Tang, you don't need to worry about this. Go and gather supplies."

Chu Hong spoke to Donald, who was standing behind him, stunned and still holding a gun.

Donald: "......."

He knew it would be like this!

In the face of such a cheater, what kind of experience can Greenplay possibly have...?

He shook his head slightly, feeling reassured as he handed the place over to Chu Hong. Then, he turned and walked towards the ancient shrine on one side.

Chu Hongteng walked lightly, with a touch of elegance and composure, onto the stage.

He snatched a folding fan from a fellow dressed as a scholar resembling Xu Xian.

Just as he was about to unfold it to show off, the folding fan in his hand suddenly shattered into pieces of paper flowers.

Chu Hong's expression stiffened, and he slowly turned his gaze back to look at that guy.

But then, the paper fan that he had just taken away miraculously reappeared in the other person's hand.

He sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, thunderclouds raged above the entire ancient ancestral hall stage.

"Lady Su, although you are a ghost and I am a human, I have always liked to say yes to those who refuse me or say no. But your subordinates seem to be even less romantic than I am..."

Chu Hong looked at the boss in front of him, whose expression had changed drastically. [The Playful Master Su Wanniang]

Eighth stage of Core Condensation Realm!

It's not very strong, only two levels higher than when it was at the top-secret level.

What's truly terrifying about the enemy is the dense fog that controls the entire map and blocks perception, as well as their massive number of subordinates that surge like a tidal wave.

"Young master, why are you like this?!"

Su Wanniang exclaimed in surprise, her figure like a piece of paper being swept away by the wind.

however.

"Time stop..."
