When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Just as Su Ming was playfully heading towards the South District with the silly dog,

Most of the other chosen ones are still stuck in the mass graves, working hard to keep those buried in the ground from rebelling.

However, a few clever, quick-witted, and smooth-talking chosen ones began to use their own methods, employing deception and promises to escape the mass grave and head to the location of the Su family's ancestral tomb to continue their night patrol.

After all, if they stayed in that mass grave location, they probably wouldn't finish working even in a whole night.

When Kudo Yuma arrived at the Su family ancestral tomb, his first reaction was ecstatic, realizing he had found the right place.

They knelt down and kowtowed, acknowledging their ancestors and asking for blessings, without the slightest hesitation.

Being surrounded by graves on all sides, you really can't survive without finding a powerful backer!

Even if you can't find a powerful backer, it's still a good thing to build a closer relationship!

"Ancestors, although Kudo is of Japanese blood, he grew up in a village and is part of the village. He is a pure-blooded Chinese. Moreover, Japan has always been a vassal state of China and is a legitimate part of China. We are all one family. Today, Kudo kowtows to you all."

It must be said that the Japanese do have a unique talent for shamelessness.

Previously arrogant and haughty, Kudo Yuma was now kneeling on the ground in a fawning manner, his flattery almost never stopping, making his sycophancy resound loudly.

When it comes to recognizing one's ancestors, no country can compare to Japan, the land of cherry blossoms.

It's an old traditional culture.

As long as there are benefits and it allows one to survive, bowing one's head and kowtowing a few times is not shameful.

Besides, Japan was indeed a vassal state of China back then, so he wasn't wrong.

At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves and busied himself cleaning the tombs of the ancestors of the Dragon Kingdom, tidying up the surrounding weeds, being humble and unassuming to the extreme.

If anyone does something wrong or doesn't do it well, before the cold wind even blows, they'll be forced to bow and kowtow swiftly, sometimes even scraping their foreheads.

Putting everything else aside, this trick can be extremely useful at times.

At least for now, Kudo Yuma didn't face much trouble.

However, beneath his seemingly obsequious and honest face lay a trace of twisted morbidity.

Clearly, Su Ming's series of actions had dealt him a significant blow.

This led this genius detective from Japan to learn to humble himself and disguise his true self.

Sometimes, the enemy is the best teacher.

"Damn, this Kudo Yuma is a real grandson. The speed and manner of his groveling are truly amazing. He even made the ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom feel comfortable, so he didn't have to be punished much."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! People of Japan, come out and take a look! Your chosen ones are all acknowledging their ancestors now, when are you grandsons coming to acknowledge me as your 'ancestor'?!"

"Baka! Kudo-kun's actions demonstrate his forbearance and dedication for the future of the great Sakura Kingdom. He is a hero of the Sakura Kingdom, able to endure temporary glory and disgrace without being alarmed. Such a mindset is the hallmark of a successful person!"

"Kudo-kun is willing to endure this humiliation for the future of the empire; he truly is a pillar of the empire. Aren't you Chinese the people who admire heroes the most? How could you do this!"

"Bullshit! That thing is a hero? How dare you even call him one? Besides, what's his hero is our enemy. Do you really think I'm stupid? Pity you? You're out of your mind."

Seeing that people from Japan were starting to come out and try to defend themselves...

How could the Chinese audience possibly agree to that? They immediately launched into a tirade of criticism, showing absolutely no mercy.

In contrast, the chosen ones like Bruce, Andrew, and Luther were not as shameless as Yuma Kudo in kneeling down.

After all, as a country that cherishes freedom, their arrogance is deeply ingrained. They may appear fine on the surface, but when it comes to actually doing something, they simply cannot.

Then,

They're in for a rough time.

Although given the situation at the Su family ancestral tomb, they wouldn't easily kill the Chosen One,

But the physical pain will still be considerable.

A chilling wind blew in gusts, its cold penetrating to the bone, scraping relentlessly like a bone-scraping knife.

Hidden in the weeds, colorful venomous snakes began to emerge, suddenly attacking and spraying venom.

In no time, many chosen ones began to fall victim to the poison, instantly suffering from poisoning and screaming in agony. Although they wouldn't die immediately, the pain was real.

Apart from Kudo Yuma, who remained unscathed by remaining humble and subservient,

Bruce the Bald Eagle, drawing on his wilderness survival experience, easily evaded the snake's attack and recognized its terrifying venom. He then fought it off under the oppressive influence of the eerie wind.

Andrew of the Ice Bear Empire is a burly man standing at 1.95 meters tall. He is an elite member of the Ice Bear Special Forces, with combat strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. He also managed to escape the attack of the venomous snake.

Aaron, from the Sunset Empire, is an extremely ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a very low profile, just like any other passerby you might see on the street.

When the venomous snakes began their attack and sprayed venom, they instinctively bypassed him and sprayed the wrong spot, allowing Aaron to easily cut off their heads.

In the Land of Romance, Erwin was caught in a sudden gust of cold wind, which slowed his reaction time, causing him to be bitten by a venomous snake.

However, it showed no signs of being poisoned; instead, it appeared extremely angry and began fighting the venomous snake.

The Korean oppa from the "cosmic superpower" screamed like a woman again when faced with a venomous snake.

The brightly colored venomous snake was clearly also frightened by the piercing cry.

After a moment of stunned silence, a strange glint appeared in the snake's eyes, and it actually chose to let him go.

This series of events was naturally witnessed by all the viewers outside.

People started discussing the Chosen One's innate abilities.

Talented abilities are the trump card that allows the chosen ones to survive and thrive in the Ghost Story dungeons.

Very few chosen ones will proactively reveal the specific effects; at most, they will only state the approximate level.

To date, among all the chosen ones,

Su Ming's talent is the most mysterious, and no one has been able to guess it to this day.

However, not all chosen ones begin their night patrol in a clockwise manner.

For example, a chosen one from ancient Indonesia cleverly chose to go counter-clockwise and headed directly to the graves in the western area.

However, when he stepped into the West End, what came into view was a withered tree and a few graves, making it seem exceptionally quiet.

The withered tree had no leaves, its branches twisted and grotesque, like a chaotic dance of demons, carrying an eerie aura.

Something's not right...

At that moment, he seemed to sense that something was wrong, and his own talent began to issue a warning, urging him to leave this place.

However, when he turned around, he saw a red strip of cloth that had appeared in front of him at some point and was wrapped around his neck.

When he subconsciously looked up, he saw an upside-down human head on the withered tree trunk, silently laughing at him, with scarlet liquid constantly flowing from its open mouth.

what! ! !

The screen went black instantly!

[Arthur, the chosen one of the ancient Indonesian kingdoms, has fallen, and punishment has begun. A bizarre invasion will occur in "Guni City" in ten minutes.]

The last city of the ancient Indonesian kingdom is about to fall, marking the beginning of its final countdown.
