A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Second, explore information about the bizarre world.

……

[Lunch break is over. You are free to do whatever you like for one hour.]

Soon, the entire morning had passed, but nothing strange had entered.

This made Zhou An frown.

He had already paid only one dollar for treatment and offered a hundredfold compensation if the condition couldn't be cured, yet nothing strange happened.

No, he has to go out and check.

Perfect timing, we can go out and get something to eat to solve our lunch problem.

However, before leaving, Zhou An instructed the benevolent and malevolent entities not to leave the clinic.

The benevolent and malevolent entities are based on Zhou An's soul. When Zhou An is full, they will also be full, which saves Zhou An some trouble.

Then, Zhou An strode out of the clinic.

At this moment, there are many strange things happening on Tongcheng Street.

Some came to eat, some came to buy things, and some even came for massages and foot baths.

"This bizarre world has foot massage parlors too?" Zhou An's gaze sharpened slightly before landing on the foot massage parlor sign across the street, which was shimmering with pink light.

"Gentle Soul Foot Bath? Wow." Zhou An was eager to try it.

However, the lunch break is only an hour long, which is too short.

His gaze shifted from the foot massage parlor sign to the shop next door, named "Faceless Clinic".

The Faceless Clinic is a place of strange and unpredictable events, and quite lively.

This is enough to prove how good the business is here.

Most importantly, Zhou An also saw a large sign erected in front of the Faceless Clinic, which was shining brightly.

[Member's Day Mega Sale: Free Medical Treatment Within Three Days with Your Membership]

Zhou An frowned.

He paid one yuan for treatment, while the person across the street received free treatment? And it happened to be for exactly three days.

However, the clinic's manual states that a fee must be charged for any medical visit, so why was the other party able to do it for free?

"Human, it's a human!" A strange creature suddenly spotted Zhou An and exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, all the strange creatures on the street turned to look at Zhou An, their faces filled with greed and malice.

"They really are human."

"Humans have finally come to Tongcheng Street again. It's been a month since the last time. I still remember the taste of those humans."

"Tch, why don't you just go to the meat processing plant and buy human flesh? It's not expensive, only forty yuan a pound."

"What a joke! You think you can buy fresh human flesh for forty yuan? Those are all human flesh that have been frozen for who knows how long. The unscrupulous bosses will even sell you fake human flesh and cloned human flesh."

"Exactly, I've bought them before and suffered a huge loss, but now that humans are here, we're in for a treat tonight."

"Damn it, if it weren't for the rules, I would have swallowed him whole."

"I must have a bite tonight. Fresh human flesh costs a full 100 yuan per pound at the market price, and it's still in short supply."

These strange beings are all extremely suppressing their desires.

Because no weirdo dares to challenge the rules of the neighborhood.

Ignoring the strange looks, Zhou An slowly walked towards the Faceless Clinic.

However, he secretly wondered to himself that he had overpaid for the apartment in the maniac's apartment.

That sophisticated female ghost even said in a serious tone that the market price was forty, but little did I know that it was frozen meat and clones, fake human flesh.

His fresh produce was more expensive, so Zhou An suffered a huge loss.

……

Zhou An arrived at the Faceless Man's clinic.

It must be said that the Faceless Clinic is quite large, three times the size of the Ghost Doctor Clinic, with three doctors and four or five nurses on duty.

Most importantly, the decor is luxurious and bright, making it extremely pleasing to the eye.

There were quite a few strange people inside, about twenty in total, all of them seeking medical treatment, and they were all queuing up to enter the consultation room.

"Human? What are you doing here?" A nurse seemed to know of Zhou An's presence.

"I've come to borrow a needle," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

Since the Faceless Man could borrow things from him, Zhou An could naturally do the same.

"Borrow something? Wait here, I'll notify the faceless doctor." The nurse hurriedly entered the largest examination room.

In just a few minutes, the faceless man slowly walked out.

"Here's the needle you wanted." The faceless man handed the needle to Zhou An.

"Thanks." Zhou An accepted it and expressed his gratitude.

"What do you think of my clinic?" the faceless man asked.

"It's alright, it's quite big. But I'm curious, why can you treat them for free?" Zhou An looked at the faceless man with curiosity.

"Hehe, it's no trouble to tell you. It's because of the membership activation, which is a kind of promotion."

"Of course, you can try it, but do you think there will be any strange people who want to become members of your store?" The Faceless Man wasn't worried about Zhou An plagiarizing at all.

"Haha, a human running a clinic here, you'd be struggling to treat even humans, how could you possibly treat us?"

"I don't think he'll survive tonight. I don't know how many people are after him."

"Exactly, even the clinic couldn't protect him."

The eerie presence around them made no attempt to conceal its malice.

Zhou An scoffed at this. The clinic couldn't protect him? What a joke.

The clinic was clearly the doctor's private property, and the rest seemed too strange to enter.

He probably just wanted to scare Zhou An.

“By the way, you really are sick. For just one dollar, I’ll treat you,” Zhou An said, looking at the faceless man again.

The faceless man scoffed, too lazy to even acknowledge Zhou An, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou An shook his head slightly, did not stay at the Faceless Clinic any longer, and turned to leave.

Aside from the faceless clinic, Zhou An began to wander around Tongcheng Street.

And you know what? This street is quite long, probably about 500 meters.

At both ends of the street, the fog shrouded the area, preventing Zhou An from leaving, while the eerie one seemed to have no such restrictions.

Zhou An discovered many strange things and even kept pets.

Zhou An did not discover that there was a pet hospital on Tongcheng Street.

"Pets are patients too, right? That's something we could give it a try," Zhou An pondered, stroking his chin.

But the most important thing right now is to fill our stomachs.

There are quite a few restaurants here, but none of them prepare food for human consumption.

Finally, Zhou An arrived at a convenience store called Yi Gui.

"Welcome, huh? Human?"

The convenience store cashier, who had been all smiles, suddenly turned strange when she realized the customer was human.

The cashier turned her head so that the back of her head faced Zhou An.

However, there was also a human face on the back of its head, with empty, pitch-black eyes and a gaping, ferocious mouth.

"Humans, hehehe..."

Ignoring the other person, Zhou An asked directly, "Do you have any food or water for humans here?"

"Of course there is, but human food is very expensive. Do you have the money?"

"If you don't have money, you can use your flesh and blood to buy it." The cashier stuck out his long tongue and licked his entire cheek.

He even stuck his tongue into his eye socket, picked up some maggots, and then put it back into his mouth.

Zhou An felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this scene.

"How much is a pound of fresh human flesh and blood?" Zhou An asked.

"I won't accept it, I'll only exchange it. One pound of flesh and blood for one pound of food and one bottle of water." The cashier demanded an exorbitant price.

"Fresh human flesh and blood are worth 100 yuan per kilogram on the market, but you can only exchange it for one kilogram of food and one bottle of water?" Zhou An frowned.

"Take it or leave it. In the entire Tongcheng Street, only I have human food. Of course, you can choose to eat bizarre food."

"It's very cheap, five yuan is enough for you to eat your fill." The cashier had an attitude of "take it or leave it."

What kinds of food are available?

The cashier didn't say anything, but simply took out a large basket from under the counter.

It was completely filled with instant noodles and bread, plus bottled water.

"One pound of flesh and blood, one pound of food, plus a bottle of mineral water—my prices are very fair." The cashier took out two buckets of instant noodles, a piece of bread, and a bottle of water.

Excluding the water, all of these add up to one pound.

Goodness, even the box of the instant noodles is counted as weight.

"I'll pay with Soul Notes, what's the price?" Zhou An asked again.

"Soul money? Sure, one hundred yuan." The cashier was somewhat surprised.

"No selling, you're not allowed to sell. You can only exchange your flesh and blood for food." A female voice came from inside the cashier's body.
