A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Half an hour, an hour, two hours... three hours.

It was midnight.

The fog on Tongcheng Street grew thicker, and the temperature dropped even lower.

The extinguished signboard of Rouhun Foot Bath never lit up again.

The three men continued to cut off their arms to feed the little girl.

The little girl ate for a full three hours, consuming an unknown amount of flesh and blood, without showing any sign of stopping.

"Ring ring ring~~~!" Just then, a loud ringing sound suddenly came from the little girl's hair.

"The phone's ringing. Keep making the snacks, just put them on the floor. I'll finish this call and then continue eating," the little girl said, before stopping her snacks.

Then she manipulated her hair and pulled out a huge cell phone from it.

The cell phone is as big as a small car.

The call was answered quickly, and a deep voice came from the other end: "Xiao Ke, why aren't you here yet? Where have you been playing again?"

"Ah, Dad, I...I'm lost, I'll be right there," Xiao Ke said quickly, her eyes darting around.

"You little rascal, so playful, I don't know who you took after. Hurry up, your mother and I are waiting for you here." The person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately after saying that.

Xiao Ke put her phone away and then looked at Zhou An: "No need to prepare any snacks, you can come with me."

As Xiao Ke spoke, she opened her mouth and swallowed the small snack on the ground in one gulp.

Then three strands of her hair fell down and curled directly towards Zhou An and the other two.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An quickly stopped him: "No, you should have realized by now that I am human, and I cannot leave this street."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke immediately stopped what she was doing: "It seems so. You are from the human world. I remember my dad saying that you would come into our world to play games."

"If the game isn't finished, I can't leave the designated area. Ugh, this is so annoying. If this happens, I won't be able to take you guys with me, and then I won't be able to eat any snacks."

As Xiao Ke spoke, her brows furrowed, and she looked very unhappy.

"Your name is Xiao Ke, right? My name is Zhou An."

"Come back tomorrow. I'll still be here. I can give you some snacks then."

Regardless, Zhou An decided to appease this little rascal first.

"Oh, you're right. I'll come again tomorrow. I've already eaten so many snacks today anyway." Xiao Ke nodded repeatedly.

After saying that, Xiao Ke was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An's lips twitched slightly. This little girl was really carefree, leaving without a second thought, not caring whether they lived or died.

Zhou An immediately said, "Xiao Ke, wait a moment."

"Why did you call me?" Xiao Ke tilted her head and looked at Zhou An.

“Xiao Ke, you broke down my clinic’s door. Without the clinic’s protection, I will be killed by the monsters of Tongcheng Street.”

"So, I'd like to ask if you have any solutions?" Zhou An asked.

"Oh? I'm sorry, I did it because I smelled the snacks." Xiao Ke looked at Zhou An a little embarrassed.

"I accept your apology, but do you have any props or abilities that can help me survive tonight?" Zhou An wasn't worried about the house being damaged.

I spent three hours chopping my arm today. It didn't hurt or tire me, but it was mentally exhausting.

After working for three hours, how could I possibly not make any money?

Putting everything else aside, this flesh and blood alone is worth countless Soul Coins.

"I have the ability to do it, but once I leave, the ability will be gone."

"As for the props... Zhou An, wait a moment, let me look for them." As soon as Xiao Ke finished speaking, her hair suddenly stood on end.

In the next instant, dozens of props fell out of his hair like rain.

When these props fell to the ground, they made a clattering sound.

Zhou An stared blankly at this scene.

These props are not the low-grade ones that Zhou An got.

Each of these props is uniquely designed and shimmers with a hazy light, clearly indicating that they are high-end props.

If it weren't for Xiao Ke's terrifying existence, Zhou An would have already lost control and wanted to take it.

Xiao Ke kept curling her hair and fiddling with the props.

After a while, Xiao Ke excitedly said, "I found it, here you go."

Zhou An took the props that were handed to him.

This is a hat.

【Stone Hat】: An ordinary stone hat.

Effect: This is a rule-based item. When worn, it will turn you into an ordinary stone by the roadside, easily overlooked by others.

Note: Within one month, the wearing time should not exceed 30 hours, otherwise it will be impossible to remove and will be permanently ignored. It will be automatically refreshed at 0:0 AM on the 1st of each month.

After reading the attributes, Zhou An was immediately shocked.

Rule-based items, they're actually rule-based items.

Moreover, these attributes are a bit overpowered; they're not similar to the attributes of a prop from a certain anime.

The wear time should not exceed 30 hours per month, which is equivalent to one hour per day.

Putting everything else aside, this stone hat can be incredibly useful in any dungeon.

"With this hat, you'll survive tonight. I'll be going now." Xiao Ke said, preparing to pack up the props.

"Xiao Ke, wait a minute." Zhou An called out to Xiao Ke again.

"What's wrong, Zhou An?" Xiao Ke turned around and looked at Zhou An.

“There’s only one stone hat, but there are three of us here,” Zhou An said immediately.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot there were two more people. I'll look for two more props." Xiao Ke suddenly realized and quickly started searching again.

This time, Xiao Ke found it very quickly, in just a dozen breaths.

"Found it, here you go." Xiao Ke handed two props wrapped in two strands of her hair to the evil spirit and the benevolent spirit respectively.

Neither the benevolent nor the malevolent entity said anything; they simply accepted it.

"I'll be going now, I'll come find you again tomorrow. Oh, by the way, do you have a phone?"

“Let’s exchange contact information so I can find you no matter where you are.” Xiao Ke remembered something and immediately took out her giant cell phone.

Zhou An raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Xiao Ke would know to exchange contact information with him.

However, this was not a bad thing for Zhou An, and the two immediately exchanged contact information.

Then Xiao Ke rolled away from Tongcheng Street.

Watching Xiao Ke leave, Zhou An quickly brought the Good and Evil entities back into the house.

He reached out and pressed his hand on the broken roller shutter door, directly activating the power of the horse talisman.

In the next instant, the roller shutter door was restored to its original appearance.

From then on, the doctor's clinic became a safe place again.

Back in the lounge, Zhou An eagerly looked at the Good and Evil entity: "Quick, quick, bring me the props, let me see what they are."

The benevolent and malevolent entities directly handed the props to Zhou An.

[Amulet]: This is an amulet that can protect you and keep you safe.

Effect: Tier 4 item. When worn, monsters below Tier 4 cannot break through your defenses, and can also withstand a full-force attack from a Tier 4 monster. Once the energy of the amulet is depleted, the amulet becomes ineffective.

【We are good friends】: We are good friends, the best of friends.

Effect: This is a rule-based item. Say the words "We are good friends" and then hand the item to the other person. The other person will unconditionally become your good friend and will not refuse some of your reasonable requests.

Note: The duration of the item depends on the strength of both parties, with a minimum duration of one hour. Once the duration ends, the item will belong to the other party, and they will harbor deeper malice towards you.

When Zhou An saw the two props, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is great stuff, really great stuff.

Leaving aside the protective talisman, at this stage, anything below the fourth rank cannot shake Zhou An in the slightest.

The rule-based item "We are good friends" is unsolvable and can definitely resolve a terrifying crisis.

A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest indeed!

It was worth it for Zhou An and his clones to chop off arms for three hours straight.

"We've really struck it rich this time. That little girl is not only terrifying, but also a little rich girl." The benevolent entity was also beaming with joy.

"Terrible? No, no, not scary at all. That's a treasure-giving boy. Zhou An, we'll have to fleece him again tomorrow." The evil entity cackled.

"Don't worry, I won't stop until I've plucked her bald." A smile appeared on Zhou An's face.

"Zhou An, today's the day to make a fortune! Let's go to Soft Soul Foot Bath! Don't forget what you promised me," the evil entity suddenly said.

Zhou An's smile froze on the spot. He scratched his cheek, somewhat eager to try: "Then... let's go?"

"No way, that's a strangely run foot massage parlor. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go there?" Although the benevolent person was also eager to try it, they quickly reminded them of the potential dangers.

“How could there be any danger? I specifically asked the patients who came today.”

"Rouhun Foot Bath is open even at night because it has the strictest rules in the entire Tongcheng Street."

“Once we enter Rouhun Foot Bath, we are protected by the rules. The most dangerous times for us are on the way to Rouhun Foot Bath and on the way back.”

The malevolent entity has made ample preparations for washing its feet tonight.

"Alright, since you put it that way, let's all go." The benevolent entity seemed to agree helplessly.
