A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"Wait a minute, I've been dead for a day, how come the car is still here? Could my body still be inside?"

Zhou An immediately leaped down.

A miraculous scene unfolded: after Zhou An fell into the water, his clothes remained completely dry.

He had no sense of touch with the water, and he encountered no obstacles in the water, just like walking on land.

Zhou An didn't care and quickly arrived at the car.

The car window was shattered, the seatbelt was cut, and his body was not inside.

Clearly, his body has been rescued, but the vehicle situation is problematic, as the location is somewhat remote and difficult to access for rescue.

Zhou An easily got into the car.

Zhou An could not touch anything inside the car.

He didn't feel anything when the old man said that players couldn't affect the real world.

Now Zhou An felt a sense of loneliness welling up inside him.

No one could see him, he couldn't touch anything, he couldn't eat anything, he could only starve, but he didn't die of hunger.

Only the instance seven days later could make Zhou An feel that he was still alive.

"No, I need to see my parents. If I die, they will be all alone... How heartbroken they will be..." Zhou An suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

He was an only child, and Zhou An could imagine how heartbroken his parents would be when they learned of his death.

However, a practical problem soon arose in front of Zhou An.

He is from Xiaoxiang City. Because yesterday was April 5th, Qingming Festival, Zhou An took two days off on the 4th and 5th to return from Changsha City to Xiaoxiang City to sweep the tombs.

After sweeping the tombs in the morning, we had dinner in the countryside before driving back to Yongcheng.

He remembered that he had been running for about two hours, and it was an hour and a half drive from Changsha City and a two-hour drive from home.

If you know the way, you shouldn't have any problem finding your way back to Xiaoxiang City and Changsha City by looking at the signs on the highway.

However, the distances involved are often two or three hundred kilometers, which is quite a distance for Zhou An at his pace.

"Never mind, let's go back first." After confirming his direction, Zhou An started running along the emergency lane.

He now possesses roughly three times the physical abilities of an average person, and can easily reach speeds of 23 kilometers per hour.

He could run at that speed for two or three hours without any problem.

"Wait... my body has already been taken away. I've seen on Douyin that wherever a person dies, their body is stored in the nearest funeral home."

"So, my parents should be at a funeral home in Hengyang right now?"

"Oh no, where are we going to find a funeral home?" Zhou An stopped in his tracks.

Now, Zhou An has three choices.

One option is to blindly search for a nearby funeral home, but this is very risky.

He couldn't be found in a short time, but after a while, his parents completed the necessary procedures and took his body back to Xiaoxiang City.

Secondly, he can go directly back to Xiaoxiang City and wait for his parents, who will definitely come home.

Third, I went to Changsha, the nearest city, to my rented room.

His parents will definitely go and sort through Zhou An's belongings.

"Damn it, my browser history, my study materials!" Zhou An suddenly realized something and was instantly terrified.

Oh no, oh no, Zhou An felt like he was going to die.

The computer he rented in Changsha had a total of 2TB of hard drive space, of which 1.5TB was filled with various types of study materials.

The police probably won't investigate him, but his parents will definitely pack up and take his things away.

His parents had Zhou An when they were eighteen, and they are only forty-two years old this year. They have played a lot of computer games.

No matter what his parents say, they will definitely turn on his computer.

But once you turn on the computer and see that bright red hard drive...

The thought of this made Zhou An feel like the sky was about to fall.

"No, I have to get to Changsha first." Zhou An made the decision, immediately headed to the opposite lane, and then sprinted away.

I can see my parents later, but I must find a way to solve the problem of study materials.

Four hours later.

Zhou An arrived at the Datang resettlement community, panting heavily.

The buildings in the residential complex are all walk-up buildings, seven stories high.

Zhou An rented room 501 in Unit 2 of Building 3.

"Boom!" A violent roar came from the sky.

"Splash! Splash!" A torrential downpour began.

Zhou An paid no attention to the weather. He went up to the fifth floor, passed through the door, and went straight into the room.

It's about 30 square meters, with a separate bathroom and kitchen, and the decoration is fairly good. The rent is 1,000 yuan a month.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Zhou An felt no emotion whatsoever and quickly walked to his computer.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou An slumped onto the small sofa, looking dejected.

It was no use; he tried everything, but couldn't affect his computer in the slightest.

There's no other way, there's really no other way.

Zhou An sighed. He had come to terms with it and didn't care anymore. He was already dead anyway, so let him die.

Zhou An left the room; he was preparing to return to Xiaoxiang City. He decided to ignore the broken computer.

He had just reached the stairs when he saw a figure walking upstairs.

Zhou An subconsciously looked up and saw a girl dressed as a student from a middle school.

However, what was puzzling was that she was completely soaked.

"Huh? Isn't this the girl downstairs from me?"

"With such heavy rain, why didn't you go home to take a shower? What were you doing upstairs? It's around 2 a.m. now." Zhou An looked puzzled.

He didn't know the girl's name, only that she was a senior in high school and lived with her grandmother.

Zhou An has lived here for a year, but he has never met the little girl's parents.

In the short time she was thinking, the girl had already reached the seventh floor.

Zhou An hurriedly followed.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Zhou An was taken aback.

He discovered that the little girl was actually standing on the protective wall in the rain.

Chapter 15 Girl, Let's Make a Contract

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately rushed out to try and save the person.

But then we stopped halfway there.

He is now a player, a dead man, and has no influence on the real world.

This also prevented Zhou An from saving the person.

Zhou An sighed and walked to the protective wall on one side.

He lightly leaped up and squatted on the protective wall.

"What a pity, such a pretty girl, she'd be covered in bruises if she fell."

Zhou An sighed again.

He felt sorry for the little girl who wanted to end her life.

Zhou An longed to live, to truly live, but he died.

This little girl is alive, but she wants to die.

"You're wrong. If I jump, I won't get bruises all over; I'll just have my brains splattered." The little girl's tone was flat and indifferent.

Zhou An suddenly looked at the girl: "Can you hear what I'm saying?"

Are you also going to ask why I can see you?

"You can see me too?"

"Haha, that's great, that's great!" Zhou An laughed loudly.

"Forget it, old man, goodbye to this boring world."

The girl lifted her foot forward and began to fall downwards.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An did not hesitate to leap down, jumping with the girl.

"Girl, sign a contract with me!" Zhou An caught up with the girl in an instant, his face filled with excitement.

The girl's indifferent gaze vanished, replaced by shock.

The wind howled and the rain poured down.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, briefly illuminating it.

Two figures fell vertically from the roof of the seventh floor.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will fall to the ground, with no chance of survival.

"Girl, shall we sign a contract?" Zhou An asked excitedly.

He never imagined that in just a few hours since his return, he would encounter someone who could see him and with whom he could make a contract.

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, he reached out and hugged the little girl tightly, then turned his body so that his back was facing down.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Zhou An's excitement remained undiminished; he could touch the other person.

But the smile didn't last long before Zhou An landed heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
