A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Third Uncle immediately said, "Brother, I know Xiao Cheng is dead, and you and sister-in-law are very sad, but... you have to look forward."

Suddenly, everyone started talking at once.

"Quiet, quiet!" Zhou Cheng shouted.

The room fell silent instantly.

“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but it’s the truth.”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you all to come, because I have something very important to tell you."

"I know you don't believe me, but that's okay. Xiao An will talk to you in a bit."

"Don't be afraid or panicked when the time comes. Xiao An can only communicate with one person at a time, speaking to you in her heart."

"Remember, don't panic, don't be afraid, Xiao An, just talk to them."

Zhou Cheng spoke slowly.

"Brother, how about... I go with you to the hospital to see a psychiatrist?" Uncle hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng was immediately enraged, but ultimately did not lash out.

“Third Uncle, my father isn’t sick and doesn’t need to go to the hospital. I’m dead, but not really dead,” Zhou An immediately said to his third uncle.

"Who? Who's talking to me?" Uncle San suddenly looked around.

Upon seeing this, Auntie was about to speak, but the next second, her expression changed drastically.

Before long, everyone present had a change in expression.

They looked around in terror.

He exchanged glances with the others and, seeing their flustered expressions, realized that they had also heard the voice.

"That voice...it sounds a bit like Xiao An's," Auntie said softly.

“That’s right, I could tell too…”

Suddenly, everyone started talking all at once again.

About half an hour later, the room finally quieted down.

After Zhou An explained things one by one, along with his parents' explanations, they finally believed that although Zhou An was dead, his soul still existed.

And they already possess supernatural abilities.

Zhou Cheng seized the opportunity and briefly explained the overlapping information of the bizarre world.

It took them almost another half hour before they all believed it.

Then he told them about Zhou An's plan to send them all to Changsha.

"I said, brother, you and your wife can go, why should we come along?"

"That's right, I've lived in Lengshuitan for half my life, and I don't want to move."

“Your third aunt and I both work here, as does Xiaoyuan. Zhou Nian will be taking the college entrance exam next year. You must be joking.”

"Yes, Xiaomei, your sister-in-law and I have spent most of our lives in Lengshuitan. Your niece Xiaoyou has also married a local."

Everyone shook their heads, completely disagreeing with going to Changsha.

This is actually normal; how could anyone abandon their family business and go back home for these kinds of things?

Most of them own houses here, and they also work here.

Once I go to Changsha, how will I live? What about my job?

Li Shengsheng calmly stepped forward and said, "Uncles and aunts, there's no need to worry about any of this."

“Now, Brother An and I are both the heads of the Changsha Ghost Affairs Bureau branch. As long as you go to Changsha, each of you will be given a house and a car.”

"At the same time, we will also arrange a permanent job for you."

Upon hearing this, the noisy room instantly fell into dead silence.

"Girl, don't joke around." Second Uncle glanced at Li Shengsheng, then shook his head with a smile.

"A house, a car, and a government-funded job? If it's that good, I'll be the first to go." The expression on Zhou Tao's face, the eldest son of my second uncle, showed that I simply didn't believe it.

The others also spoke up, their words carrying a hint of something unusual.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng and Wang Mei rushed out to support him, but no one listened to them.

Everyone felt that Zhou Cheng and Wang Mei were a little out of it today because their son's soul was still around.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I'll explain," Li Shengsheng comforted Zhou Cheng and Wang Mei.

Then, in front of everyone, he took out his phone and dialed Tang Jia'an's number.

"Captain, what's the matter?" Tang Jia'an's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Find all the bank cards belonging to Captain Zhou's parents and their generation, including those of their children," Li Shengsheng said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Captain, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, wondering what cryptic Li Shengsheng was trying to say.

About half a minute later, Tang Jia'an began to give out his bank card account number.

"Captain's second uncle, Zhou Shan, bank card number... Second aunt, Xu Zhu, bank card number..."

"Cousin Zhou Tao, bank card number..., Cousin Zhou Zhi... bank card number..."

As Tang Jia'an recited name and bank card number after name, their expressions began to change.

"Aunt Zhou Juan, bank card number... Cousin Liu Qiang, bank card number..."

After the last person gave their bank card number, it was noted that the aunt's family was in Shenzhen, not here.

"Everyone, transfer one million to your account. Can it be done within three minutes?" Li Shengsheng asked calmly.

"Two minutes will do," Tang Jia'an said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Li Shengsheng nodded.

The room fell silent once again.

No one spoke.

"Ding-dong!" Zhou Shan's phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Shan hurriedly took out his phone, unlocked it, and found a text message.

When I opened it, I found it was a text message from the bank.

A notification has been sent that one million has been deposited into your account.

"Really...really a million?" Zhou Shan immediately opened the bank's app to check his balance.

When I actually saw the seven-figure balance, I was completely stunned.

Just then, Aunt Xu Zhu's cell phone rang.

Then came Zhou Tao, Zhou Zhi, Uncle Zhou Hai, Aunt Zhao Xiaohua...

Everyone received a text message on their phone notifying them that one million had been deposited into their account.

The house erupted in chaos again.

Everyone bombarded Li Shengsheng and her two companions with questions.

They really give you cars and houses, and offer you a government-affiliated job, and so on.

"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, all of these were decided by Brother An."

“There is absolutely no deception. Consider the one million as your resettlement allowance.”

"Once you arrive in Changsha, we'll arrange a house and a car for you, and the property will be transferred immediately."

"As for work, we will arrange it for you immediately."

"The world is becoming increasingly chaotic and unsafe. Only by staying under Uncle An's watchful eye can you ensure your safety."

Li Shengsheng spoke slowly.

"No doubt about it, Xiao An told us to go, so we'll go."

"Yes, we'll all go. Housing, cars, and such are not important. We mainly want jobs with government-approved status."

"What kind of organization is this permanent job with official staff? Is it easy? How long do you work?"

"I'm telling my daughter's whole family to move to Changsha tomorrow," said Uncle Wang Hai casually.

He brought his daughter with him today, and although his daughter is already married, she also received a million.

“Yes, yes, I’ll ask my husband to move today.” Wang Xiaoyou nodded repeatedly.

A million dollars, plus a car, a house, and a government-affiliated job—it couldn't be more awesome.

You can just lie down now.

Moreover, Changsha is the provincial capital, and it far surpasses Xiaoxiang City in terms of both medical care and education.

"Then everyone should go home immediately, resign, hand over their work, pack their things and move."

"We'll depart for Changsha at 1 p.m. tomorrow. I'll arrange a car and people to help you move," Li Shengsheng said.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

He then greeted Zhou Cheng and the others before leaving excitedly.

"Mom and Dad, you can rest assured now, everyone has gone," Zhou An said to his parents with a smile.

Wang Mei was also very happy: "It's so nice to have everyone together, it's lively and fun."

“Yes, but about the housing, will we all live together then, or how should I put it?” Zhou Cheng asked.

“It’s already arranged. We’ve acquired a newly built, fully-furnished residential complex near the Bureau of Mysteries’ branch. It’s been more than two years since its construction began.”

"It's all family housing for our Bureau of Mysteries, you can just move in with your bags."

"When the time comes, let them choose whatever they want. As for the car, see what they want to drive, just give them the money and let them buy it," Zhou An replied.

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhou Cheng nodded repeatedly.
