A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

To achieve higher attack power, Zhou An himself needs to improve his strength.

Luckily, he had a stone hat.

Simply wear the stone hat and use the power of the horse talisman to remove the source of pollution to complete the task.

Zhou An arrived at his destination shortly afterward.

He was soon dumbfounded.

Because the gate to the cemetery villa is closed, only people inside can open it to get in.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou An pressed the doorbell.

After a short while, and then a long time, there was still no movement from inside.

Zhou An continued pressing the doorbell, and kept pressing it.

Finally, the tomb door slowly opened.

A tall figure walked out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou An bypassed the other party and entered the tomb.

I must say, the interior design here is quite nice, and the space is also very large.

It's just as good as a proper villa.

Zhou An took out the evil spirit container and immediately located the source of pollution.

It was in a room that resembled a master bedroom.

When Zhou An entered, he saw a woman lying on a stone bed, her entire body covered in blood-red runes.

The opponent's hands, legs, and neck were also firmly bound by chains covered with blood-red runes.

Zhou An realized that these runes and chains were used to suppress the source of pollution within the woman's body.

It may have been like this for a long time, but it is ultimately unstoppable. In about half an hour, the woman will completely turn into a demon.

Zhou An didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to complete the mission.

Zhou An immediately stepped forward and reached out to touch the woman.

The next moment, a layer of blood-red light appeared, blocking Zhou An's hand from entering.

Zhou An frowned upon seeing this scene.

He looked at the runic chains.

【Rotten Sealed Chains】: This is a chain covered with mysterious runes, but it has been corrupted and is about to fail.

Effect: A seventh-tier item that can effectively seal the target's ghostly power, consciousness, body, and even curses and contamination within the body.

"Tap tap tap~~!"

Heavy footsteps could be heard outside.

Zhou An knew that the sixth-order weirdo had returned.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately began to unlock the chains.

Fortunately, the sealing chains were decayed and their power was not very strong.

Zhou An easily removed the item from the woman and then put it directly into his inventory.

This is a seventh-tier item; it's clearly not an ordinary item.

So what if it's rotten? Once the horse talisman is repaired, it'll definitely be a high-level item.

Freed from the constraints of the sealing chains, the woman instantly regained consciousness.

They had barely regained consciousness for a second when a terrifying and violent aura overwhelmed their senses.

The source of pollution erupted instantly, rapidly corrupting the woman and turning her into a frenzied demon.

"Xiaoxia!!!" The sixth-tier eerie creature that had just entered the door saw this scene and its eyes widened in fury.

The next second, he saw a flash of white light on his demonized wife, and then she returned to normal.

The source of pollution disappeared, and the woman regained consciousness.

"Brother Niu, what... what's wrong with me?" The woman sat up halfway, looking at her husband with a puzzled expression.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia, you're alright? That's great, that's great." Brother Niu appeared at the bedside in a flash, grabbed the woman's shoulder, and looked her over closely.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

Zhou An immediately withdrew his hand, saying, "This can be considered a reward for this seventh-tier item."

Zhou An looked at the two excited people and left without looking back.

When Zhou An arrived at the entrance of the tomb, he studied how to open the door.

Fortunately, it wasn't anything complicated. I pressed the door open button on the side, and the door slowly opened.

Now that the second advanced task is complete, I only need to complete one more to become a Ghost Sealer ahead of schedule.

Zhou An took out his phone and searched through the task list.

Since Zhou An already had a stone hat, he didn't bother with anything else and simply chose the task that was closest to him.

An hour later, Zhou An successfully completed the third task.

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."

"All done, Rice Ball, let's go back to Tongcheng Street." Zhou An patted Rice Ball.

"Okay, big brother," Rice Ball replied quickly.

Zhou An then spent half an hour returning to Tongcheng Street, after which the other party went directly to the Onmyoji Agency.

"Brother An, you're really awesome." Song Yu didn't know how to praise Zhou An at this moment.

These past two days of dungeon runs have felt like a dream to Song Yu.

She doesn't have to worry about anything; she can just sit back and win.

"It's just basic stuff, nothing more. After you're officially hired, you'll at least get an A rating," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

"I wonder what privileges and rewards I'll get after I'm officially promoted." Song Yu was extremely excited at the moment.

……

Forty minutes later, Zhou An and Song Yu appeared in An Fei's office.

"Zhou An, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've completed three high-level missions in less than a day." An Fei had a look of approval on his face.

"Minister An, about the matter of being promoted early..." Zhou An was too lazy to argue with An Fei here.

"Your abilities have been recognized by me, and you two can be promoted to permanent positions ahead of schedule."

"All matters related to your official employment will be automatically sent to your mobile phones." An Fei finished speaking and took out his phone to perform a series of operations.

Soon, a series of messages appeared on Zhou An and Song Yu's phones.

[You have successfully become a Ghost Sealing Master at the Yin-Yang Bureau]

Your privileges have been upgraded. Please click to view details.

[Points system launched, points mall open]

“Ring ring ring…” Just then, An Fei’s phone rang.

He glanced down at the number and his expression immediately turned serious.

"You two go out and study it yourselves." As soon as An Fei finished speaking, Zhou An and Song Yu felt a blur before their eyes, and then they appeared outside the office.

A muffled thud!

The door closed abruptly, and there was instant silence inside.

"This Minister An is probably quite powerful as well." Zhou An shook his head as he watched himself being sent out without any resistance.

Zhou An then casually found a seat in the hall and began to examine these items.

The first issue is permissions.

There weren't any major changes, because Anfei had already upgraded his privileges.

Of course, Zhou An also discovered some hidden perks, namely that he could get reimbursed for taking certain public transportation.

For example, if you take a taxi or ride a strange bus, you can get reimbursed by the Yin-Yang Bureau at the end of each month.

These are not very important; the main thing is the points system and points mall.

He opened the points system and found that he had 100 points.

Complete four low-level tasks to earn 10 points each time, and complete a high-level task to earn 20 points each time.

These add up to exactly 100 points.

Low-level missions are almost always snapped up instantly, making them extremely difficult to obtain.

These low-level tasks are only assigned to interns.

That's how Zhou An and Song Yu obtained the four low-level tasks they completed.

He opened the points mall again and immediately frowned.

Because most of the items in the points mall are items, skills, medicines, etc., that are effective against pollution sources.

There are also medicines and items for preventing and suppressing pollution sources, priced between 1 and 10 points.

Some items and skills are available, with the cheapest costing only 10 points and the most expensive costing thousands of points.

Zhou An curled his lip; this points mall was of no use to him whatsoever.

Because he possesses a horse talisman that can instantly eliminate the source of pollution.

"I thought it would be useful, but it's all garbage." Zhou An shook his head; he couldn't be bothered to do this task.

However, to achieve an S-level rating, you need to complete at least two or three tasks every day.

"Brother An, Brother An, look! The points mall actually has high-level items and skills!" Song Yu excitedly showed them to Zhou An.

"To me, they're all just garbage." Zhou An shook his head slightly.
