When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Qingshan Mental Hospital.

"Taking sides!"

Su Ming gazed intently at the familiar room before him, and at his feet, at the unruly dog, chewing on its slippers and wildly swinging them around.

He retracted his raised right hand, and the silver bracelet disappeared into his sleeve.

The innate ability of "No Taboos" gradually dissipated.

Her long, silvery-white hair began to turn back into short, black hair.

His tall figure shrank considerably, and the oppressive aura and the eerie divinity emanating from him vanished instantly.

Based on the situation just now, the "otaku" who had been manipulating everything behind the scenes should have been dead for sure. However, at the crucial moment, the strange rules of the story forcibly teleported him away.

In a way, it also saved the other person's life.

[Level completion rewards are being distributed...]

[Completion Rewards: Cursed Black Coffin (Accessory), Bus Ticket No. 204 (7-day pass)]

【Cursed Black Coffin (Accessory): A pitch-black coffin that can change size and possesses powerful defensive capabilities. When you channel energy into the coffin, it will grow to enormous size, and its weight will change accordingly. Due to the special nature of this accessory, the user will not be affected by the weight of the coffin. (Note: Due to the special nature of this ghost story item, the user will need to spend one night inside the coffin every seven days.)】

[Bus Ticket No. 204 (7 Days): This is a ticket with special value. Passengers can write the name of any instance they have experienced on the ticket. At that time, Bus No. 204 will appear in front of the passenger and take them to their destination. (Note: This ticket is a one-time use item and has a seven-day time limit. After seven days, the chosen one will be forcibly sent back to the real world.)]

A miniature version of the black coffin model appeared in Su Ming's hands. Its appearance was very similar to the black coffin in the previous ghost story dungeon, but it was more detailed.

Su Ming glanced at it briefly, tapped it with his knuckles, making a dull sound, and the Sinful Dagger lightly scratched a crack on it, which quickly healed.

"For you to chew on."

Immediately, he threw the coffin to the crazed dog next to him. It didn't have much effect on him; at most, it just added another way to fight.

In contrast, giving it to a dog would enhance its fighting ability and survivability.

The thought of that silly dog ​​carrying a 40-meter-long coffin and smashing it on people is almost unbearable to watch.

When the dog was being chased before, if it had been able to hide inside the "coffin" and become a coward, those old zombies and powerful evil spirits might not have been able to break the coffin and harm the dog inside.

Compared to the cursed black coffin, Su Ming was more concerned about the train ticket with strange patterns in his hand.

This wasn't the first time Su Ming had seen this kind of ticket.

The train ticket that Grandpa left behind when he was in "The Gravedigger" is almost identical to the train ticket he has now, with only minor differences.

The ticket in his hand had a strange pattern, but the center of it was blank, which was just the right place to fill in the destination.

"Return to any instance world...?"

Su Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he murmured to himself.

.....

Just as Su Ming was deep in thought.

The chilling voice of the strange rules resonated once again throughout the world.

(The other chosen ones were omitted because their ratings were too low, to avoid padding the word count.)

[Congratulations to the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom for achieving a perfect five-star rating in clearing this Ghost Story quest. Rewards for this Ghost Story dungeon will now be calculated.]

[Ding! The human potential of the people of the Dragon Kingdom has been stimulated.]

[A Dragon Kingdom Chosen One has been detected to have received a five-star rating and will receive a hidden reward.]

[Hidden Reward: Randomly restore one of the fallen cities that has been mysteriously invaded.]

Su Ming once again cleared the level with a five-star rating.

The audience and high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom were naturally also filled with excitement and joy.

But when they saw the hidden reward, they were a little confused.

???

"What's going on? Weren't the five cities that fell before—Beihai, Linzhou, Yuyang, Jingjiang, and Liao'an—all recovered? How can there be cities that have fallen again? Could I be mistaken? Is my memory playing tricks on me?!"

"That's right, there are five fallen cities, where did this sixth one come from? Is this some kind of weirdo's brain malfunctioning?!"

"Could it be a bug? After all, Su is the only one who has received five-star ratings and hidden rewards consecutively, something that no one else has been able to do before."

"....."

It's no surprise that the Chinese audience was somewhat bewildered and began to discuss the matter animatedly.

Even the top leaders of the Dragon Kingdom and important figures from various countries were somewhat baffled at this moment.

Could it be that the strange rules are wrong?!

This has never happened before!

However, what happened next shocked the whole world.

The Bureau of Ghost Stories.

"Kui Bureau, an anomaly has occurred in a sea area in the northern region of the Dragon Kingdom. A city has floated up from the seabed. According to the Dragon Kingdom's satellite detection, the city that floated up from the seabed has a large number of buildings in the Dragon Kingdom style..."

An urgent intelligence report was instantly delivered to the top officials of the Bureau of Strange Tales, causing an uproar.

Incredulous gazes were now focused on the scene projected on satellite TV.

A land city gradually emerged from the depths of the sea and merged with the surrounding landmasses—a breathtaking sight that could leave the entire world in awe.

This scene was not only witnessed by the top leaders of China, but also by the top leaders of other countries via satellite.

Soon, an emergency army was dispatched and stationed in the mysterious city that had emerged from the seabed.

A large amount of information was also sent to the top leadership of the Dragon Kingdom.

The inhabitants of this mysterious city are all 100% Chinese, and they also enjoy hidden rewards such as "immunity to all diseases" and "bravery and strength".

Furthermore, all the buildings are in the style of the Chinese nation.

However, the city's residents' memories have been incomplete, with a large number of crucial memories lost.

Ultimately, the top leadership of the Dragon Kingdom reached a conclusion:

This mysterious city, which has no historical records whatsoever and seems to have appeared out of thin air, is indeed a city belonging to the Dragon Kingdom.

However, the traces of its existence seem to have been erased out of thin air by an invisible hand.
