Chapter 16 Returns!
Sitting on the throne, Xue Zhenguo smiled as he looked down at the incredibly excited crowd.
After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it down.
Seeing this, everyone forced themselves to suppress their excitement.
"There's one more thing. Just now, after a scan by the Heavenly Eye, all the strange things in the mountain city have disappeared."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's bizarre; they have absolutely no way to deal with this thing.
Hot weapons have absolutely no effect on those things.
To avoid being targeted by the supernatural, you must remember the rules of that instance to prevent it.
Even now, everyone in the mountain town lives in fear and anxiety.
Now that's good, the eerie atmosphere in the mountain city has been cleared away, and we no longer need to live in fear.
"Great! Now the residents of the mountain town no longer have to live in fear!"
"Yes, although we have figured out the rules of that instance and made all the residents of the mountain city memorize them to prevent violations of the rules."
But ultimately, it wasn't a real problem. Then the speaker changed the subject and laughed, "Now it's all good. All the strange things in the mountain city have been eliminated, and people can finally live in peace."
"Ah, we have to thank Seventh Master for all of this!"
"Yeah yeah."
When Seventh Master was mentioned, everyone present showed gratitude in their eyes.
"Sir, have we found Seventh Master?"
Chen Dong looked at Xue Zhenguo curiously and asked.
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhenguo looked helpless.
"Sigh," he sighed, "I couldn't find it."
"Oh no, we couldn't find it? How is that possible?!"
Chen Dong looked surprised.
"Sir, what happened? Why couldn't we find it?"
He felt the probing gazes of everyone present.
Xue Zhenguo took a deep breath and explained, "As soon as the instance ended, I instructed the technicians to use the Sky Eye to monitor the entire country in real time, to see who would appear where."
"However—" Xue Zhenguo stopped midway through his sentence, remembering the information the technician had reported to him.
He was completely stunned when he heard that news.
"However, no matter where in the Dragon Kingdom, that person cannot be found."
"That person just vanished into thin air."
After listening to Xue Zhenguo's account, everyone in the conference room stared at each other in disbelief.
Completely bewildered.
"Holy crap?! This guy doesn't even exist anywhere in the Dragon Kingdom, he's probably just appeared in the underworld!"
Hearing Chen Dong's complaints, Xue Zhenguo could only sigh helplessly.
Considering the other party's identity, and the fact that they couldn't find anyone in the country no matter what they tried.
He couldn't find any other reason besides this explanation.
Thinking back to the conversation lines they had prepared a few days ago.
Xue Zhenguo's lips twitched immediately.
My heart is filled with bitterness.
"Ugh, this is so hard for me."
……
Beautiful Country, a wealthy neighborhood in New York, within a luxurious estate spanning over a thousand acres.
A tall, muscular white man is holding a glass of red wine in one hand and using the other hand to block a recently popular female star.
This white man is none other than John James, the bizarre challenger from the American fantasy novel series!
"I never expected that after Xiao disappeared from the Dragon Kingdom, another Grim Reaper would appear."
James sank into the soft leather sofa, looking intently at...
He watched the live stream recording of the bizarre challenge in the Dragon Kingdom that had just been uploaded.
Inside, a man in a white robe was not only enjoying the strange food, but also frantically beating the monster.
Whether it was his mother and father who had caused him trouble, or his extremely annoying younger brother,
They were all in the enemy's hands and had no ability to resist.
"What an enviable power!"
James tightened his grip on the wine glass.
My heart was filled with envy and jealousy.
That was the case with Xiao Ran, and now there's an even more terrifying being than Xiao Ran.
The woman sitting in his lap felt the coldness emanating from James.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her small hand, which had originally intended to rest on his chest.
It stopped in mid-air, not daring to make any other moves.
Noticing the woman beside him acting strangely, James smiled slightly and casually turned off the annoying recording.
He picked the woman up with one hand and carried her to the soft bed behind him.
More than an hour later.
Looking at the woman who was already asleep beside him,
James got up and went to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the neon-lit modern metropolis outside.
His eyes flickered, and with a thought, a semi-transparent panel appeared before him.
Challenger: John James
[Country of Origin: America]
Current Ghost Coins: 2000
[Do you wish to open the eerie shop?]
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a change occurred on the transparent panel.
It's no longer personal information, but a shopping mall panel.
James gazed at the dazzling array of goods before him.
His eyes were filled with greed.
However, he quickly concealed the greed in his eyes.
He found the product he had always wanted.
Seeing the price of two thousand ghost coins, James felt a pang of pain that made his face twitch.
"I don't know how many times I've watched it, but this is fucking expensive!"
Although he was internally complaining, his hands were quite honest.
Choose to buy directly.
He watched as the two thousand ghost coins he had worked so hard to earn were wiped out.
James was in so much pain he could hardly breathe.
"Hopefully, these two thousand ghost coins weren't wasted."
With that thought in mind, James opened the ancient book in his hand without hesitation.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, on Earth.
Hangcheng, an abandoned warehouse on the western outskirts.
Jiang Chen, who had originally wanted to learn about the fate of the nation, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
When he finally saw everything clearly again, the world had changed completely.
"I...I'm back?"
Looking at the familiar abandoned warehouse in front of him, he realized that he had returned.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen remembered something.
I spent seven days in that weird dungeon, and here in reality...
The thought that I had been absent from work for seven days, and that I had disappeared suddenly without reporting to my supervisor, struck me deeply.
"Damn, am I going to get fired?!"
The thought that he might lose his job made Jiang Chen's face turn pale instantly.
Jiang Chen didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he lost his position.
The more I think about it, the more panicked and frightened I become.
Jiang Chen didn't delay any longer and quickly opened the gate to the underworld and went inside.
If all the people of the Dragon Kingdom on the Blue Planet saw Seventh Master in such a panicked state, they would be utterly astonished.
Who would have thought that the White Impermanence Seventh Master would dominate the bizarre dungeons, trampling both rules and the bizarre underfoot!
They were even afraid of losing their jobs.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to enter the passage and return to the underworld, a semi-transparent screen appeared before his eyes:
Congratulations on successfully completing the first eerie dungeon, "I Love My Family," officially unlocking your Challenger privileges!
Challenger: Jiang Chen
Challenger Level: C
Challenger privileges are now available.

Seeing the semi-transparent panel that suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Chen abruptly stopped in his tracks.
After seeing the various information displayed above, he examined it carefully.
