A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"And those two subordinates are in a bad way. Not only will they be stripped of their positions as team leaders of Tianheng Division, but they'll probably also have to go to jail," Liu Xiaonuan said.

"Xiao Nuan, I really don't know where you heard all this news, but you're quite well-informed, haha," Zhou An said with a smile.

"That's right, don't you even know who I am?" Liu Xiaonuan puffed out her small chest.

Zhou An smiled and then returned to his office.

He now has more than fifty people under his command.

Zhou An was so bored that he had his subordinates to handle everything.

It's perfectly fine if he doesn't come to work for a day.

Just then, Zhou An frowned slightly, his mind instantly sinking into his inventory.

The Butler's Token in the inventory started flashing continuously.

Soon, several scarlet dots of light began to flash on the deacon's token.

At the same time, the light spot kept moving closer to him.

"Spirit-parasitic insects!" Zhou An never expected that the spirit-parasitic insects would actually come to their District 1 brigade.

However, the parasitic insects quickly moved past him and headed elsewhere.

Zhou An pondered the layout for a moment and realized that the parasitic insects had gone to the rooftop.

In other words, the other party was going to find Captain Yan.

Moreover, the number of parasitic insects was not small, totaling three.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately stood up and strode out.

When Zhou An arrived at Captain Yan's office, he heard conversations coming from inside and relaxed a little.

He then knocked on the office door.

"Enter!" came the voice of the Word Spirit from inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou An immediately pushed open the door and went inside.

There were twelve people inside.

Captain Yan and the sexy bespectacled girl Xiao Ling.

Captain Yan's name is Yan Ling, while the girl with glasses has the surname Si and is called Si Ling.

The remaining ten people were all wearing Tenheng's standard uniform.

However, upon closer inspection, the material is more delicate and also features golden cloud patterns.

Zhou An recognized them; these items with golden cloud patterns all came from the inner city.

Three of them sat on the sofa, while the remaining seven stood behind it.

Those three people exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"Captain Yan, is there something you need? Should I come back later?" Zhou An looked at the group of people and quickly said to Yan Ling.

"It's alright, stay. I was just about to call you over anyway."

"These three are the officers of the Merit Pavilion of the Tianheng Division in the inner city. This is Liu Du, the head of the Merit Pavilion, a level seven martial artist."

"This is Chang Heng, the deputy head of the Hall of Merit, a level six ability user."

"This is Wen Dao, the Inspector of the Hall of Merit, a Level 6 Enhanced Human, and a Level 6 Ability User," Yan Ling introduced the other party's identity to Zhou An.

"I am Zhou An, the leader of the fifth group of the first district brigade. I greet you, officers." Zhou An gave a polite bow.

"This must be Zhou An, an S-class potential candidate. He truly is a young hero."

"We've come here to make personnel adjustments and distribute rewards," Liu Du said with a faint smile to Zhou An.

Zhou An also looked at Liu Du. According to the deacon's order, Liu Du was not a parasitic insect, but a human.

However, both the deputy pavilion master Chang Heng and the inspector Wen Dao are parasitic insects.

And behind them, at the very front, stood the most robust man, who was also at level five and was also a parasitic insect.

"Zhou An, you did a great job this time. You easily killed three Level 4 Holy Spirit Cult practitioners all by yourself," Chang Heng praised.

"It's a bit of a pity that no one was left alive." Wen Dao shook his head slightly.

"Sir, I also want to spare their lives, but the situation doesn't allow it. Besides, I'm only at level two, so I can't hold back. I also don't know how strong they are."

"Besides, I also need to protect dozens of my men. But didn't Captain Yan capture Zhao Kong, the deacon of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

“I think Zhao Kong is definitely more valuable than those three travelers,” Zhou An said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, the three of them froze.

“Ahem, Zhou An, I forgot to tell you, last night during Wang Chong’s interrogation, Zhao Kong was rescued by another deacon, ‘Faceless’,” Yan Ling said after a couple of coughs.

"Hmph, that Wang Chong is truly more trouble than he's worth." Chang Heng crushed the teacup in his hand.

"What a useless piece of trash! He even shifted the blame to his two subordinates. Does he think our Inspection Department is a pushover?" Wen Dao slapped a handprint onto the tea table.

If Zhao Kong was rescued, who would be the angrier?

It wasn't the director of the Tianheng Division in the outer city, nor was it Wang Chong or his group.

It is a parasitic insect, a parasitic insect within the Tianheng Division.

These parasitic insects constantly conceal themselves, continuously eroding and replacing higher-level humans.

But then the Holy Spirit Cult came along and opposed them.

Most importantly, they have a technology that can identify parasitic insects within a certain range.

That is why their parasitic insects have difficulty even penetrating inside.

Once it becomes parasitic, it will be discovered by its colleagues immediately.

The only option is for humans to infiltrate the enemy's ranks.

However, they gained very little, and many even turned against them, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

Just like before, they went through a lot of trouble to find out the identity of a deacon.

It took a lot of resources, and Wen Dao even personally took action to capture him.

Then it parasitized the other party.

After parasitizing the Blood Moon Deacon, it even used special equipment to deceive the deacon's order.

He even met with many of his subordinates without revealing any flaws.

Then, the next day, the Holy Spirit came and killed him.

I have absolutely no idea why this is happening.

When they realized what was happening, they immediately went to capture Blood Moon's subordinates.

However, they had all run away.

It can be said that this time the loss was heavy, which is equivalent to losing a level 5 deacon.

But just two days later, Wumian took office.

Upon taking office, he dealt them a major blow by rescuing Zhao Kong, whom they had painstakingly captured.

How can we not anger the parasitic worms?

"Alright, what's done is done, and no amount of punishment can make up for the loss."

"However, your achievements will not be forgotten."

As Liu Du spoke, he directly took out a bottle of fluorescent medicine.

"This is a level 3 breakthrough potion, which can allow you to break through from level 2 to level 3 directly."

"There are also personnel changes, but we'll talk about that later." After saying that, Liu Du tossed the Mind-Breaking Potion to Zhou An.

Zhou An immediately took it, somewhat taken aback.

[Breakthrough Potion]: A level 3 mental potion that allows a level 2 ability user to directly break through to level 3 ability user after taking it.

"Captain Yan, we've come here mainly for you." Liu Du looked at Yan Ling.

"For me? What do you mean?" Yan Ling had a bad feeling.

"The fog outside the city has increased several times over, and the fog demons are stirring."

"Your strength is very strong. The inner city has issued a transfer order to transfer you to the Mist Demon Division to serve as the captain."

"At the same time, you will also be given an opportunity for genetic enhancement. You should understand that once you receive genetic enhancement..."

"You will definitely break through to level six, and your spatial ability will also evolve, causing your strength to skyrocket."

"The only drawback is that the Mist Demon Tribe is dangerous, but with your spatial abilities, you will hardly encounter any danger. Even if you encounter a level seven Mist Demon, you can retreat with ease."

Liu Du spoke slowly.

Yan Ling first frowned, then his eyes lit up.

Genetic enhancement is an extremely important opportunity for everyone.

This isn't one of those enhanced individuals who receive injections; it's a genetic enhancement specifically tailored to your abilities, your body, and your genes.

Even his father only got a chance for gene enhancement when he became the director of the Outer City Heavenly Stem Division.

"I agree." With almost no hesitation, Yan Ling readily agreed.

"Hmm." Liu Du smiled faintly.

"By the way, your father will also be transferred to the Mist Demon Division as its deputy minister, and he will also have the opportunity for gene enhancement," Liu Du added.

"Huh? My father was also transferred to the Mist Demon Division?" Yan Ling was somewhat surprised.

"But it's all good. My dad's been desperate to break through to level seven, and this time he's definitely going to get his wish." Yan Ling accepted this fact.

Yan Ling suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "My father is also being transferred. Who will take over as the head of the outer city bureau?"

“Lei Ran,” Liu Du uttered a name.

Yan Ling frowned immediately. This Lei Ran was none other than Wang Chong's uncle.

"Can I bring my men with me to the Mist Demon Tribe?" Yan Ling asked in a deep voice.
