When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

After pushing open the eerie door, Aaron, Father Davis, Aleph, and Inuno found themselves amidst ruins. As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere: rotting bodies, broken heads, foul-smelling blood, and huge, uneven craters...

At first glance, the scene before me resembled a horrific battlefield of flesh and blood.

Even more terrifying was that the sky above the entire maze was shrouded in a pitch-black mist, as if an invisible hand were covering it, creating a sense of fear and oppression.

Even the chosen ones, whose minds had already undergone multiple baptisms, were stunned at this moment and felt a chill run down their spines.

It wasn't just because of the terrifying pressure emanating from these dead monsters, but also because these monsters were all of the same race.

Zombies!

These monster corpses in front of us are actually zombies!

Judging from the surrounding buildings and details, this is clearly the territory of the zombie race.

The scene unfolding before their eyes was as if some terrifying being had suddenly descended upon the territory of these zombie monsters and begun a massacre...

Glug!

Father Davis swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine!

It's not for any other reason than that he's still wearing a zombie skin right now. What if the monster that slaughtered the zombie race is still around, hasn't left, and happens to discover this imposter zombie and kill him?!

When that time really comes, you'll either die or die!

Father Davis didn't think he could defeat someone capable of slaughtering a race of bizarre monsters!

Father Davis glanced around warily, then quickly activated the [Sheepskin Roll] to weaken his aura. He then took out [Blackjack's Skinning Knife] and slashed open the bloody [Zombie Skin] on his body, quickly peeling it off.

What was once a protective charm has now become a death warrant!

Compared to Father Davis's panic, Aaron, Aleph, and Inuno-kun were in much better shape. The first two had only been covered in zombie powder, a crude disguise that would be easy to remove.

As for Inuno-kun, needless to say, he was covered in monster excrement, with a few mouthfuls of slurry in his mouth, completely obscuring his previous zombie disguise. In this state, no one would believe he was a zombie...

From a distance, it looks like a dung beetle that has come to life.

However, the chosen ones, who were quite frightened by what they saw, were unaware that the audience watching from the outside world was in an uproar.

......

The real world.

"Holy crap, what's going on?!"

"Why are the other Chosen Ones in a different situation than Su Ge? Weren't those zombies killed by Su Ge? How come the other Chosen Ones are also ending up like this?!"

"From the very beginning, Su Ming's experience was different from that of the other chosen ones. Now, what strange differences have arisen? Why does it feel like the supernatural instance Su Ming entered is different from Father Davis and the others?!"

"The events that happened in the supernatural dungeon where Su Ming is located are actually appearing in the labyrinth space entered by other chosen ones? Doesn't this feel a bit like the legendary projection effect?"

"Speaking of which, during the last 'Haunted Building' instance, when Davis, Aaron, and the others were in the ghost story dungeon, they actually saw Su Ming and Stupid Dog appear..."

"The 'Haunted Building' ghost story instance is based on the Liao'an of the Dragon Kingdom. However, the ghost story instances that other chosen ones enter are not actually real ghost story instances; they are special products derived from real ghost story instances, which could also be called projection instances?!"

Among the audience and high-ranking officials from various countries, there are still intelligent people, considering the previous case and the special circumstances this time.

Therefore, some people deduced the existence of the "real copy" and the "projected copy".

Therefore, it is clear that Su Ming has entered the real instance of the [Mysterious Maze], while the other chosen ones have only entered individual projections.

What happens in the [real copy] will indirectly affect the situation in the [projected copy].

At this moment, while audiences and high-ranking officials from various countries marveled at the bizarre nature of the strange rules, they couldn't help but sigh.

The gap and treatment between Su Ming and the other chosen ones was simply too great.

This is clearly targeted!

If Su Ming hadn't been far stronger than the other chosen ones, he probably would have been killed!

However, before others could even express their feelings, some sharp-minded and intelligent people's expressions changed, and they sensed something was amiss.

Inside a hotel in Aoyama City.

A young couple was watching the live stream in silence, their attention almost entirely focused on the huge black egg in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room.

Xu Miao's face showed a complex expression as she slowly exhaled:

"It seems He truly values ​​Su Ming, having made an exception and opened a real instance, sending Su Ming inside!"

"Perhaps in other people's eyes, Su Ming might be being targeted, but in my opinion, it's actually His 'nurturing' of Su Ming."

"This ghost story instance is actually a [special gift] He gave to Su Ming, designed to maximize Su Ming's strength and prepare him for the real test to come..."

"He is breeding poison. Only those chosen ones who can withstand the trials are 'warriors' in His eyes; the rest are nothing but useless waste!"

"It's not just Su Ming; the other Chosen Ones have also received unimaginable benefits. These are benefits they might not have been able to obtain even in one or two previous Strange Tales dungeons. In the past, such a thing would have been absolutely impossible. However, Su Ming's existence has inspired this year's Chosen Ones..."

"He values ​​this year's Chosen Ones highly, even more than any previous generation. After this Ghost Story instance ends, those who survive will likely receive an invitation from Him..."

Xu Miao's expression was complex, and his last sentence was particularly meaningful.

Only those who survive will receive His invitation...

So how many people will survive this time?!

Perhaps, for the Chosen Ones, the greatest danger might not be the ghost story instance itself, but rather the threat from their own people?

Su Ming, who is currently in the "real instance," is probably the real time bomb.

No one knows what he might do; no one knows if he'll just flip the table...

If Su Ming really flips the table, will the Chosen Ones in other projection instances still be able to survive?

Now, all the chosen ones have only one path: to clear the Strange Tales dungeon before Su Ming does.

Otherwise, they could be killed at any time by some jerk who likes to walk dogs.
