[Shi Jinwei]: Can't the players get into that dungeon?

[Obsession]: The instance is closed, and no one except the instance BOSS can enter.

[Shi Jinwei]: What about the NPCs inside? Didn't they say that NPCs could access the Ghost Network?

[Obsessive Ghost]: He has the ability to isolate NPCs from the outside world, making them unaware of their presence.

This is also a privilege you have after becoming an administrator.

Shi Jinwei suddenly remembered the convenience store's strange claim that "the system has disappeared," so she asked it what was going on.

[Obsessive Ghost]: When the game first launched, there were no administrators. It was only before the system disappeared that the Ghost King was designated as an administrator. We speculate that the system disappeared to invade other worlds; perhaps other worlds besides this one were also invaded.

[Shi Jinwei]: The Ghost King? There really is a Ghost King?

[Obsessive Ghost]: It used to exist, but it doesn't anymore. The only person with the power of a Ghost King is the administrator.

These few sentences contained a great deal of information, and it took Shi Jinwei a while to digest them.

[Shi Jinwei]: When this game was first introduced, was it a bizarre game?

[Obsessive Ghost]: Yes, many of the initial first batch of dungeons have already collapsed or been shut down. Humans have short lifespans, and the first batch of players are all gone, resulting in information gaps. Actually, when the game first arrived, besides the initial dungeons, it also brought several other world dungeons. Those other world dungeons were only shut down after the number of dungeons reached a stable level. Back then, there was no Ghost Network, and players were busy surviving. This information, along with the deaths of the initial players, remained unknown to humans; only some high-level ghosts remembered it.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jinwei couldn't help but inwardly hiss.

Just as she guessed, the mysterious side had gathered a lot of information that the players didn't know.

It's unclear what information the "leader of the men in black" possesses, or whether he's fixated on these claims.

In addition, Shi Jinwei asked the system a few more questions, but Zhi Nian Gui couldn't answer them either.

Its strength isn't the strongest in the Ghostly Realm, but it's still quite well-known.

If it doesn't know these things, it's highly likely that other strange phenomena are also unaware of them.

After the chat ended, she lay in bed tossing and turning.

The information chain among players in the bizarre world has broken down.

The strange memories have become fragmented.

The memories of survival game players have also become fragmented.

There must be some kind of connection between these faults.

She had a premonition that once these gaps were filled, the truth would come to light.

[Ding! Congratulations to [Pioneer Player] Shi Jinwei, your game exploration progress has increased by 20%, current exploration progress: 65%. Points earned: 1000.]

[Stage Guide (For Player Reference Only): Investigate the erased history of this world and gather information related to the [Game Administrator].]

The system's sudden notification interrupted her thoughts.

The progress increased by 20% all at once, which was somewhat unexpected.

However, it also indirectly suggests to her that this direction is correct.

With her confidence boosted, Shi Jinwei turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

The truth will be revealed sooner or later; she still has time.

……

The next morning, Shi Jinwei checked out of the hotel and left.

Knowing she was going to take a gamble, Huang Jingui had already instructed his subordinates to arrange a personal driver for her.

So today, when Shi Jinwei goes to the dungeon, she doesn't need to drive; she'll be escorted by a private car.

This instance is a bit far from Second Street; it's located on North Street of Ghost Street, at 82nd Street.

If you drive there, it will take three to four days.

So this time she has to take the train.

These golden tricks were all arranged for her.

Exclusive ticket check-in lanes and private VIP luxury rooms made Shi Jinwei realize how capricious one can be when rich.

If this world didn't lack "private jets," the Golden Ghost might have arranged a private plane for her.

As for why she didn't fly her small helicopter, it's because North Street is an old street, and there isn't a big enough place for the plane to land.

When Shi Jinwei found out this information, she was also curious about the situation on the other side.

It wasn't until we arrived at our destination and got into the private car that we understood why this place was called the Old Street.

Overall, the streets we visited, though dilapidated, were still filled with modern high-rise buildings.

Arriving here feels like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the old Shanghai era.

There are many buildings from the Republican era, and the strange and human costumes also tend to be in the style of the Republican era.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei was staring intently, the driver explained, "This is a unique style of North Street, and it's quite famous in the ghost world. Many ghosts from other places treat this place as a tourist attraction. Humans also come here occasionally because there are very few instances here, making it suitable for travel and sightseeing."

As if to verify its words, a little girl stood in front of a mailbox on the side of the street, smiling brightly.

A couple was standing opposite her, taking pictures of her.

Further away, you can see a promotional banner that reads "One-day tour with Republican-era features, reservation hotline: XXX-XXX".

In addition, folk tunes similar to "Night Shanghai" drift through the streets.

There's an eeriness lurking beneath the harmony.

The driver drove the car into North Street 82nd Street.

This place is much more dilapidated than the place we just passed.

The car stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated shop; this was our destination.

Shi Jinwei got out of the car and watched it leave before looking up at the shop in front of her.

The storefront wasn't large, and many photos were pasted on the glass.

It looks a lot like those old-fashioned photo studios on TV.

She pushed the door open and entered, at which point a strange announcement began:

[Hello player, you are about to unlock the [Photo Studio Dungeon]. Would you like to enter now? Yes/No.]

She clicked "Yes," and the voice continued:
