A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Big Head Ghost licked the blood off his lips, then stared intently at Zhou An.

"Die!" Zhou An fired a fireball.

Upon seeing this, Big Head Ghost's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately lunged to the side.

"You fall down."

Big Head Ghost instantly tripped and fell to the ground. Before he could even land, the Flame Blast blast hit him directly.

The violent explosion destroyed everything in the room.

The giant-headed monster had melted away and disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 107 Twelve Deaths

An hour later, Zhou An returned to the area below the building.

"Solve all the strange occurrences, send people up to evacuate all residents, collect the bodies, and take stock of the casualties and losses," Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Captain," Chang Yu replied quickly.

Chang Yu then ran out of the fog.

Within minutes, a large number of police officers and soldiers swarmed in and began knocking on doors to evacuate residents.

Zhou An did not leave, mainly to prevent any strange things from hiding and going unnoticed by him.

"Uncle, is this what they call eerie? It looks just like a human." Li Shengsheng squatted down in front of the eerie old man and poked him with her hand.

"Don't mess around, we'll have to take her back to the branch for questioning later," Zhou An said, turning to look at Li Shengsheng.

"Okay," Li Shengsheng replied.

The strange old man was not dead yet. He was trapped by Zhou An with blood thorns, and his limbs were twisted and broken, leaving him completely powerless to resist.

About an hour later, all the residents in the building had evacuated.

"Captain, everyone in the building has been evacuated," Chang Yu reported.

"What about the death toll?" Zhou An asked in a deep voice.

"Captain, the total number of deaths is... a total of twelve people," Chang Yu said, his voice heavy.

(Just kidding, this is the only way after it's been edited.)

“Twelve people…” Zhou An sighed.

Although Zhou An arrived as soon as possible, he was still too late.

This time, the entire building was shrouded in mist, and many strange things happened.

If he had arrived any later, even more people would likely have died.

"After handling the aftermath, report the situation here to the headquarters of the Bureau of Mysteries."

"You can decide how to handle this afterwards," Zhou An said, then turned to look at the surrounding fog.

"Yes, Captain, but what should we do here?" Chang Yu replied, then looked at the building.

"Let's seal off this entire area first. We'll see what the Bureau of Strange Affairs says about the follow-up." Zhou An waved his hand and then carried the strange old man outside.

After Zhou An stepped out of the mist, he saw the strange old man suddenly become terrified.

"No, no, let me go back, please let me go back..."

"Ah~~~!"

A piercing scream rang out.

Then, thick black smoke billowed from the eerie old man's body, followed by a burst of flames.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An reacted swiftly, throwing the eerie old man towards the mist.

Before the old man could return to the misty area, he was burned to ashes in mid-air.

"This……"

Chang Yu and Wang Hong, who were behind, stared wide-eyed at the sight.

"Burned...burned to ashes, uncle." Li Shengsheng's face was also full of horror.

"It seems the strange creature can't leave the fog's range, which is a good thing."

"Chang Yu, report this situation immediately." Zhou An's expression softened slightly.

When the human world overlaps with the supernatural world, the consequence is that strange things will happen.

The eerie way it descends is actually by following the misty area.

These strange creatures cannot leave the fog zone, which means that as long as this area is sealed off, casualties can be minimized.

"Yes, Captain," Chang Yu replied quickly.

Zhou An and Li Shengsheng immediately got into a car and headed towards the branch.

When Zhou An and Li Shengsheng returned to the branch dormitory, it was already four in the morning.

"Ring ring ring~~!" At this moment, Zhou An's phone rang.

It was a call from Director Wang Ling.

"Zhou An, you did a great job this time, eliminating all the strange occurrences in time."

"Remember, if any strange events occur, be sure to resolve them immediately."

"Because after the monster eats people, it expands the area of ​​the fog," Wang Ling said, revealing a terrifying fact.

"The fog will spread?" Zhou An's expression immediately turned serious.

"That's right, strange things have happened in a village in the mountains to the north."

"When the people from the Bureau of Strange Events arrived, the entire village had already been swallowed up."

"Of the entire village of over eight hundred people, only one person survived. According to the survivor, the fog initially only enveloped one house," Wang Ling said in a deep voice.

"I understand, but Director Wang, with the arrival of strange events, the number of deaths among the masses will increase."

"How exactly does the government intend to handle these matters?" Zhou An asked in a deep voice.

"It's not appropriate to disclose the strange events now; we can only use the excuse of the mudslide that wiped out the village."

"Just like the fog in Dongfeng Community, it would be attributed to a gas leak, since ordinary people can't see fog." Director Wang sighed as he said this.

"Director Wang, why can't ordinary people see us veteran players, but they can see the strange things?" Zhou An was very puzzled by this.

Director Wang shook his head: "This is still under investigation, and we don't know the details either."

"The Bureau of Strange Events is too busy. After midnight, too many strange events have broken out all over the country."

"...Won't this cause panic?" Zhou An was also startled by the number.

"Panic? There might be some in certain areas, but it's still within a reasonable range."

"Just get through today. The world overlaps, and only the beginning is the most chaotic moment."

"Once it gets light, the strange world will no longer appear on a large scale, and it will also be suppressed."

Wang Ling had just finished dealing with a strange incident and took the time to call Zhou An.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's heart skipped a beat: "Will it be suppressed after dawn? Does sunlight have a suppressive effect on eerie phenomena and fog?"

"That's right, sunlight will suppress the fog and limit its spread."

“As long as it’s sunny, the foggy area can be cleared in just five days,” Wang Ling nodded.

"It would be good if the fog area could be cleared, but will strange things still happen in the cleared fog area?" Zhou An asked another question.

Wang Ling said in a deep voice, "Yes, therefore, the fog area must be sealed off."

"Even if there are strange things inside, as long as they can't kill the living, the fog will eventually be cleared away."

Zhou An nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Zhou An, I'm entering the instance today. The director and deputy director haven't returned yet."

"Although Spirit Pacters are quite strong, they are still not as strong as players."

"Among those who are currently in power, you are the strongest. If there are any strange events in other areas, you should also try to deal with them if you have the ability."

“Some places abroad have already begun to descend into chaos. Changsha absolutely cannot afford to fall into chaos,” Wang Ling said in a deep voice.

"I will, Director Wang."

"By the way, Director Wang, what are the ranks of the director and deputy director?" Zhou An asked curiously.

Wang Ling smiled and said, "I thought you could hold back from asking."

"Deputy Director Zhao Ke, level 59, should be able to reach level 60 in this dungeon if nothing unexpected happens."

"Director Zhang Fei, level 62, is also the most skilled player in the entire Southern Province."

Zhou An's pupils contracted: "Level 62, huh?"

He hadn't expected that the Changsha Ghost Bureau would soon have two players at level six.

With Zhou An's current strength, he's probably no match for a sixth-tier player.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"We players can actually use Soul Coins to delay the time it takes for us to enter the strange world."

“However, you can only postpone it once after each dungeon run,” Wang Ling said immediately, as if remembering something.

"Director Wang, can the dungeon be postponed? How do we do that?" Zhou An immediately became interested.

“One hundred for the first tier, two hundred for the second tier, three hundred for the third tier, and so on. The time can be postponed by one week,” Wang Ling explained.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An immediately nodded.

To be honest, Zhou An didn't want to postpone the dungeon session. If possible, he would prefer to run the dungeon once a day.

This would allow Zhou An to quickly improve his strength and acquire the twelve talismans more quickly.

Zhou An has now cleared four dungeons and drawn four talismans.

Zhou An will need to complete eight more instances before he can reach his full form.
