A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Zhou An remained silent, also reviewing the tasks.

These tasks are indeed terrifying.

These tasks are not only more diverse, but the task information is also more clearly defined.

For example, this one.

[A source of contamination has been detected at Cemetery No. 444 in Guozifen, Huangcheng District. Please go there within two hours to remove the contaminant.]

[Note: The husband of the owner of Tomb 444 is a Tier 6 Ghostly Being. It is recommended that a Tier 6 or higher Ghost Sealer accept this task.]

……

[In the Blood Rain District's Undead Villa Area, Villa No. 18, a source of contamination has been detected. Please proceed to eliminate the contamination within one hour.]

[Note: This villa is inhabited by ten Tier 5 supernatural beings. The source of the contamination is their shared property. It is recommended that you go there if you are a Tier 6 Ghost Sealing Master capable of overwhelming Tier 5 beings.]

These tasks involve guards; to eliminate these sources of pollution, you have to fight those guards.

"We don't accept missions above the sixth rank, but we can easily handle missions at the fifth rank and below." Zhou An accepted the mission for the Undead Villa without any hesitation.

"Brother An, you really accepted this? There are ten fifth-tier monsters." Song Yu asked cautiously.

"You're just lying here like a corpse, why are you asking so many questions? Come on." Zhou An took out a rice ball.

The two sides are about 40 kilometers apart, and thankfully there is no traffic jam right now.

In just half an hour, Rice Ball arrived at the Villa of the Dead.

However, looking at this heavily guarded villa area, he feared it wouldn't be so easy to get in.

"Brother An, why did you stop?" Song Yu asked, looking puzzled.

"Didn't you see the main gate was tightly closed, and there were several security guards watching us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? We're from the Yin-Yang Bureau. We'll just show them our badges and they'll let us in right away."

Zhou An shook his head: "It's different. This is a high-level mission now. I reckon we'll be inside as soon as we put our work badges on."

"If the people in Villa No. 18 find out soon after, and then just run away with the source of pollution, that would be too troublesome."

"Then what should we do?" Song Yu looked at Zhou An.

"You stay here, I'll sneak in quietly by myself." Zhou An put the rice ball away.

"Okay." Song Yu nodded without saying anything.

Zhou An immediately took out the stone hat and put it on. Then, in front of these powerful guards and ghosts, he swaggered into the villa area.

Zhou An arrived at Villa No. 18 very quickly.

It has to be said that even in the villa area, there is still that eerie feeling.

Or perhaps, the gloomy decorating style is just what's popular here.

When Zhou An entered, he saw ten strange creatures of various shapes surrounding the living room on the first floor.

They all knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the floor.

At the very center of their ten eerie locations lies a female ghost.

The female ghost was extremely beautiful, with a curvaceous figure.

However, the female ghost's expression was very stiff, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a ghost doll.

The doll's skin was covered with black patterns.

The source of the pollution is this strange doll.

At the feet of the eerie doll are ten black lines, connecting these ten strange creatures.

An inexplicable aura lingered around them.

As you can see, none of these ten strange things have been contaminated.

Zhou An didn't know what was going on, but it didn't matter. Anyway, once the horse talisman was activated, it was done.

Zhou An immediately stepped over the strange barrier and went directly into the encirclement.

The ten strange creatures did not react at all, remaining kneeling on the ground, muttering something under their breath.

Zhou An reached out and pressed his hand on the eerie doll.

【Ghost Doll】: A corrupted, resurrected ghost doll. Using it will give you an ultimate experience of sublimation, but be careful that it may control your sanity.

Note: Once completely corrupted, it will transform into a sixth-order evil spirit.

Before Zhou An could finish checking the attributes, he felt a very comfortable and irresistible sensation travel through his palm to his mind.

The mere touch was enough to give Zhou An this feeling, which was truly irresistible.

The next instant, Zhou An activated the horse talisman.

Instantly, the source of contamination on the eerie doll vanished.

That intense tactile sensation disappeared, replaced by a feeling that was about ten times weaker.

【Ghost Doll】: Adult dolls from a bizarre world, made of special silicone material.

Effect: A Tier 3 item with three different appearance and three different voices. Using the Ghost Doll will give you a unique experience.

The creepy doll was immediately exposed and reverted to its original form.

The evil spirit put away its container: "There are no more sources of pollution in the current area. Cleanup complete!"

"You are given one hour of rest time, but you can also continue to accept missions."

"Done, that's a wrap." Zhou An immediately withdrew his hand, stepped over the strange object, and walked out of the encirclement.

At that moment, the sensation on the ten strange creatures vanished instantly, and they all stood up, staring blankly at the strange doll in the center.

"What happened? Why did the effect disappear?"

"Could it be completely contaminated? Something's not right, something's really not right."

"Damn it, what's going on? How come the source of pollution is gone?"

"Ah~~~No!"

"Oh no, could it be the Yin-Yang Bureau? That's impossible. We specifically rented this villa area. If a ghost-sealing master comes, we can retreat immediately."

"My creepy doll, waaaaah, my creepy doll is gone..."

The entire villa was suddenly filled with these eerie wails and roars.

……

Zhou An arrived outside the villa area and met up with Song Yu.

"Brother An, you're amazing! You've got it all figured out again!" Song Yu said excitedly to Zhou An.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep looking for missions."

"Don't touch the sixth-tier missions, look for fifth-tier and below missions first." Zhou An took out his phone and started searching in the mission list.

Song Yu readily agreed, and then quickly went to find a task.

However, there are too few Tier 5 missions, or rather, they are gone in an instant as soon as they appear.

Clearly, the other ghost sealers also knew to pick up easier tasks.

After all, once the source of pollution spreads, it's no joke.

Half an hour later, Zhou An and Song Yu looked at the task list with pained expressions.

Half an hour has passed, and they still haven't managed to grab one. Those guys are too fast.

"Brother An, what should we do? We can't get anything at all." Song Yu realized that they had only managed to get lucky with their previous mission.

"Take over the mission to Guozifen." Zhou An accepted the mission to Guozifen without any expression.

"Huh? Brother An, that's a sixth-order monster. Even though your methods are powerful, you're no match for a sixth-order monster, are you?" Song Yu was taken aback.

"What's the panic? I have my own methods. Besides, you're in the way. Take a taxi back to the Faceless Clinic and stay there." Zhou An said, and immediately hailed a taxi for Song Yu.

"It's alright, I'll stay with Brother An." Song Yu shook her head repeatedly.

But Zhou An paid no attention to Song Yu.

Not long after, a strange taxi stopped in front of them.

Helpless, Song Yu could only get into the carriage and return to Tongcheng Street.

Zhou An watched Song Yu leave and felt a sense of relief.

"It's more comfortable to fight alone." Zhou An took out a rice ball and told it to go directly to the Fruit Grave.

Half an hour later, Zhou An arrived at Guozifen.

Then Zhou An was dumbfounded.

I originally thought Guozifen was a grave, but it's actually a type of house similar to a villa.

Unlike the previous villas, this one is built on the ground.

This Guozifen villa is built underground in the style of a tomb.

Looking out, it's almost endless, just one after another, cemetery villas occupying a large area.

This bizarre world is truly unique.

Zhou An, still wearing his stone hat, swaggered in through the gate.

The roads inside are well-maintained, and the green coverage is extensive.

From a greater distance, this cemetery and villa area looks like a forest.

Of course, this greenery isn't the lush, verdant kind found in the real world; instead, it presents a ghastly green.

Chapter 99 Early Promotion: The Privileges of a Ghost Sealing Master

Zhou An knew that with his current strength, he could easily defeat a fifth-tier monster.

However, this doesn't work for sixth-order strange creatures.

His dragon spell's damage cap is level five.
