Chapter 77 The Green-Haired Young Man Makes a Dazzling Debut: Main God Dungeon Information, In the Mirror...

Zhao Dawei felt he was incredibly unlucky.

Perhaps he shouldn't have taken the vacation; maybe he should have stayed in the furniture store or his apartment all day and never left...

Looking at the unfamiliar scene before him, Zhao Dawei sighed heavily.

During his last vacation, he was sacrificed by two cultists who cut his wrists. This time, he was inexplicably drawn into a supernatural dungeon featuring a main god.

Zhao Dawei learned from his companions that he had been caught up in the God's Dungeon. Because the points system on him only existed for a moment and then disappeared, he was unable to obtain much information.

After learning that he had been captured by the main god to complete a supernatural dungeon, Zhao Dawei felt extremely desperate.

So, I couldn't escape it after all...

He was almost captured by the main god to complete a dungeon, but because he was in the Liwan Apartment at the time, he was protected by the apartment's power and was not teleported to the office building to play a battle royale game with ghosts like his other colleagues.

This time he wasn't so lucky; he was captured by the God of War as soon as he left the apartment's shelter.

He vowed that if he survived this ordeal, he would never leave the apartment during his daytime holidays... and if he had to leave, he would stay with the other tenants.

Zhao Dawei looked at the supermarket in front of him. It looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

This main god instance is very strange, like Hengdian World Studios, with a street full of all sorts of unrelated scenes pieced together - right next to this supermarket is an open-air hot spring, next to the hot spring is a bus stop, and further next is a construction site.

The most bizarre thing is that there are upside-down architectural scenes in the sky, which are also pieced together like the ones on the ground... This place is like a strange dream.

They all came from different places, and when they noticed each other on the street, they all converged on the supermarket in the center of the street.

Seeing that everyone was gathered together in silence, seemingly still reeling from being caught up in a paranormal event, Zhao Dawei took the initiative and asked, "Does anyone know where this supermarket is? Is it in Linjiang City?"

“I know,” a dark-skinned middle-aged man said. The man was thin, and his left hand was crippled, hanging on his shoulder like an infant’s arm.

“This is a supermarket nearing its expiration date, located next to the South Station, far from the city center. I am a temporary cleaner at this store.”

Hearing this, Zhao Dawei remembered. When he first moved into Liwan Apartment, he wanted to buy food at this supermarket nearing its expiration date, and then he found a recruitment advertisement for Delicious Slaughterhouse on a utility pole next to the supermarket.

It's really not a pleasant memory.

Just then, another young man in his twenties said, "You all heard what that points system that suddenly appeared in our heads said, right? We have to find a way to leave here before that 'Mirror Man' instance starts."

Another person chimed in, "That's right, I heard from the Bureau of Supervision that ordinary people like us who get caught up in supernatural events are basically doomed... By the way, do you guys remember how you got here? How are we supposed to get out?"

"We should run! If we stay together, the monster will kill us all at once!"

"That's easy for you to say. Where should we run to? This godforsaken place looks dangerous from every direction..."

When there are many people, the conversation becomes chaotic and panic spreads rapidly.

Seeing that everyone present was considering scattering and running away, Zhao Dawei quickly raised his voice and shouted, "Do you think we can leave here on foot? Do you think this place looks like the real world? This isn't a problem that can be solved by simply running away!"

“Let’s calm down and compare our clues,” the middle-aged man with the disability in his left arm chimed in. “I heard that young man say he entered some kind of ‘Mirror Man’ instance… This is different from what the points system in my mind says. Mine is the ‘Mirror Immortal’ instance. Shall we compare our information first?”

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the people present gradually calmed down, the noisy discussions disappeared, and an eerie silence fell in front of the supermarket.

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, the young man stepped forward and stood next to the middle-aged man. "How about this, let's figure out who's with whom. The 'Mirror Man' character will stand behind me, and the 'Mirror Fairy' character will stand behind this gentleman."

The survivors present remained silent for a moment, then spontaneously split into two lines and lined up behind the two men.

The only one who didn't make a move was Zhao Dawei.

Because he had no points system in his mind, no copy information, and no identity information prompts, he didn't know who to stand behind.

When Zhao Dawei realized everyone was looking at him, he broke out in a cold sweat.

But soon, Zhao Dawei remembered something and said in a moment of inspiration, "My points system didn't give me any clues about the dungeon, but it did give me a special ability to sense the appearance of ghosts and monsters."

He deliberately described the effect of the [Peace Talisman] as a supernatural ability, and he didn't mention that it could defuse three ghost attacks.

Having lived half his life, Zhao Dawei knew that one should not gamble on the good or evil in people's hearts when in a dangerous situation.

If someone knew he possessed an item that could save him from monsters, they would definitely try to steal it. But if it were a supernatural ability, something unique to him wouldn't be coveted by others.

"It seems the system, in order to help us newbies adapt to the dungeons as quickly as possible, has given us special abilities in addition to dungeon clues. This uncle is lucky to have drawn this ability." The young man was obviously a frequent gamer and quickly accepted this setting. "Following this uncle, we won't be afraid of ghosts and monsters sneaking into our team. We must protect him."

As he finished speaking, someone in the crowd muttered quietly, "Who knows if he made it up? Maybe he's the ghost, which is why he can't say what instance he is..."

Instantly, everyone's gaze towards Zhao Dawei changed.

Zhao Dawei sighed heavily and said in a seemingly casual tone, "Alright, I'll leave then. Anyway, I have a special ability that allows me to avoid ghosts in advance. If you encounter ghosts, good luck to you." Without hesitation, he turned and left.

He was actually gambling, betting that although those people didn't trust him, they probably wouldn't want him to leave.

Zhao Dawei didn't have an points system. He felt that if he couldn't get any clues about the dungeon from these survivors, even if he had a [Peace Talisman], he probably wouldn't survive for long, since the Peace Talisman had a limited number of uses.

"Wait!" The young man rushed over and grabbed Zhao Dawei. "Don't listen to their nonsense, I believe you."

The middle-aged man chimed in, "That's right, now is not the time for infighting. The dungeon hasn't started yet, so there's no way anyone could sneak in. And didn't you hear what the points system said? We're all reserve players, this is our beginner dungeon, it won't be particularly difficult. It's normal for the system to give us clues and abilities. Alright, let's not waste time, let's check the information first. I'll start with my 'Mirror Fairy' dungeon information."

As the middle-aged man spoke, those behind him, who were in the same instance as him, chimed in with their comments.

Since they were all newcomers entering the main god instance for the first time and had no experience, while the middle-aged man was talking, the young man's teammates were not idle either. The two groups of people directly told each other all their information.

After exchanging information about the dungeon, both teams suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

In this situation, nobody cares about Zhao Dawei anymore.

...These two groups seem to be enemies.

The 'Mirror Fairy' dungeon has five players. In the dungeon's lore, these five were dragged into the mirror by the 'Mirror Fairy' while playing the Mirror Fairy game; they are all the 'Mirror Fairy's' henchmen. To leave the dungeon, they need to infiltrate the human sacrifice pool and offer humans as sacrifices to the 'Mirror Fairy.' Once there are fewer than five human sacrifices, they can clear the dungeon.

The "Mirror Image" instance has eleven participants. In the instance's lore, these individuals are human sacrifices who, upon noticing something amiss in their reflections in a mirror, are dragged into the mirror. To escape, they must find the five accomplices of the "Mirror Spirit," kill them, and survive the "Mirror Spirit's" final pursuit for three minutes to successfully complete the instance.

After exchanging information, everyone present looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Even though there were many players in the Mirror Man instance, no one dared to suggest working together to kill the five opponents.

Most of the people pulled into the dungeon by the main god are honest and law-abiding ordinary citizens. They rarely kill anyone, let alone argue or quarrel with others. Unless they are pushed to the brink, they would not dare to stab anyone even if they were given a knife.

Now that no ghosts have appeared, asking them to kill their own kind is simply impossible.

At this point, Zhao Dawei, who had been standing aside, took the initiative to act as a peacemaker: "We're all human, there's no need to attack each other. According to your intelligence, there's only one 'Mirror Fairy' in this instance... then we can just kill that ghost."

Zhao Dawei was so confident because he had two exorcism talismans given to him by his landlord, which prevented ghosts below level A from harming him.

He didn't know how ghosts were classified, but A-rank was definitely a particularly powerful type. The dungeon they were experiencing was just a beginner's level, so the ghosts there probably wouldn't be too strong, likely no higher than A-rank.

Moreover, he not only had a talisman to ward off evil spirits, but also a protective amulet given to him by the landlord. Zhao Dawei was confident that after finding the ghost, he could deal with it and stall it until the landlord arrived.

Having worked at the Guijia Furniture Store for so long and lived in the Liwan Apartment, Zhao Dawei comes into contact with hundreds of ghosts almost every day. He personally stuffs dozens of ghosts into the furniture every day, so he has long been desensitized to ghosts and has no fear in his heart.

Moreover, that powerful and all-knowing landlord must already know that he has been captured by the God of War, and may be on his way.

Zhao Dawei was confident that he could hold out against the ghosts until the landlord arrived.

When Zhao Dawei said he wanted to kill the ghost, everyone present gasped.

Having struggled to survive under the oppression of ghosts and monsters, they never imagined they would have this option.

The young man seemed to have gleaned something from Zhao Dawei's words and tentatively asked, "Uncle, could it be... that besides having the ability to sense ghosts, you also have the ability to kill them?"

Zhao Dawei nodded, feigning seriousness.

He wasn't deliberately deceiving people; the most important thing at this moment was to give these people confidence so they wouldn't panic and hurt each other.

Just hold on until the landlord arrives, then we won't have to worry about anything.

The mysterious landlord was his greatest support. In this beginner's dungeon, the landlord didn't even need to lift a finger; just one glance was enough to scare the ghost so badly it would run away in terror.

Upon receiving Zhao Dawei's affirmation, everyone cheered.

The survivors' guard vanished instantly, and they all rushed to Zhao Dawei's side, surrounding him with adoration as if they had seen a savior, waiting for him to give orders.

This was the first time Zhao Dawei had become the center of attention and received such adoration. He almost couldn't maintain his composed demeanor, as a wave of guilt and nervousness washed over him. He looked helplessly at the excited crowd before him, momentarily speechless.

Finally, the middle-aged man with the missing left arm spoke up: "Everyone, don't get agitated. If you surround that brother, how can he help us sense and kill ghosts?"

The young man added, "Yes, let's go inside the supermarket first, and then have this guy guard the entrance—that's the real-life example of one man holding off ten thousand!"

The survivors present nodded repeatedly when they heard him say this.

"Yes, let's hurry to the supermarket! Stop crowding around!"

"I'm counting on you for everything!"

The crowd rushed into the supermarket again.

Seeing that they had all entered the supermarket, Zhao Dawei, who was on whom these people placed high hopes, stood guard at the entrance.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his chaotic emotions, and focused intently on sensing the temperature changes of the amulet on his chest. Then he wiped his sweaty palms with the hem of his shirt, put his hands in his pockets, and prepared to pull out the exorcism talisman at any moment.

A few minutes later, someone in the supermarket said, "The countdown is over, the 'Mirror Image' instance has begun."

The person next to him echoed softly, "The Mirror Fairy instance has started too."

The atmosphere suddenly became even more tense.

However, the tense atmosphere didn't last long. Suddenly, a scream rang out from the crowd: "A ghost!! A ghost has appeared outside the supermarket! There's a ghost!!"

Several people who were close to the supermarket entrance simultaneously screamed "There's a ghost!" and then quickly hid in the crowd, trying to get away from the supermarket entrance.

Zhao Dawei leaned against the supermarket door frame, feeling his legs go weak.

As the figure outside approached, everyone inside the supermarket saw what the 'ghost' looked like when it reached the entrance, and screams erupted one after another.

The person who was mistaken for a ghost stood at the supermarket entrance, looking at Zhao Dawei and the ordinary people behind him who were screaming incessantly, and explained, "I'm not a ghost, I'm a human."

Everyone present immediately shut their mouths and huddled together, trembling.

Relying on the "good luck charm" given to him by his landlord, Zhao Dawei bravely stood guard at the supermarket entrance, trembling as he asked, "Who...who are you?"

What Zhao Dawei found a bit strange was that, judging from the green-haired creature's appearance, he initially thought it was a ghost. But when the green-haired creature approached, the [Peace Talisman] didn't generate any heat warning... Could this guy be human?

Zhou Fangdong, sporting a head of green hair, looked at Zhao Dawei standing guard at the door with some relief.

This tenant has grown a lot. He has transformed from a coward who would turn weak in the knees and be unable to stand when faced with ghosts into someone who can protect others.

“I am… a tenant, just like you.” In order not to reveal his identity, Zhou Fangdong quickly changed his words and made up the identity of a tenant. “You are Zhao Dawei, the tenant of room 101, right? I usually live on the second floor of the apartment and don’t come down often, so you probably haven’t seen me before.”

"I was commissioned by the landlord to enter this main god instance and rescue you."

Hearing this, Zhao Dawei breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He looked away and explained in a strained voice to the ordinary people behind him, "This person... I can sense that he's not a ghost. And I know this person. Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's actually a good person. He's here to help us."

Zhao Dawei felt a pang of conscience as he said this, because this green-haired guy really didn't look like a good person.

However, this green-haired man knew he was a tenant at the Liwan Apartments and accurately stated his room number, proving that he did indeed live in the apartment. Furthermore, the amulet given by the landlord did not have a fever warning, indicating that this green-haired man was indeed human.

Trusting the landlord, Zhao Dawei gritted his teeth and vouched for the green-haired kid.

Everyone present was stunned.

I never imagined that the green-haired guy wasn't a ghost, but a living person...

But how come humans look scarier than ghosts?

I have never seen anyone in the real world look like this.

From the front, it looks like its face was slapped by a door; from the side, it looks like its head was caught in a door. Its features are all sharply defined and thin, so abstract they don't resemble a human. It's like a case of botched plastic surgery, or a freshly sculpted clay figure that suddenly fell to the ground.

It's one thing to look like that, but the problem is that he also dyed his hair green and dressed in a very non-mainstream style. When you're around him, it's really uncomfortable to look at him. He's practically a walking source of pollution. Looking closely at his face is cruel to your eyes.

It's simply unimaginable how this person managed to survive...

He's got the guts to live this long despite his appearance, while they were just caught up in a supernatural scenario. Compared to him, being chased by ghosts doesn't seem so bad.

Using his slime body, Zhou Fangdong successfully located the mirror image of the main god through the Ghost Mirror.

At first, Zhou Fangdong thought the Ghost Mirror was just a portal that would teleport him to another location or into a passage.

But to his surprise, after entering the Ghost Mirror, he was immediately transported to another world.

The world in the mirror actually exists, and it's not just because of the main god's instance.

This world is not entirely a reflection of the real world, but more like a jigsaw puzzle pieced together from different real-world scenes.

Moreover, his slime body felt like it was back home in the mirror world.

Using this slime body in the apartment caused him to feel a significant sense of oppression, but in this mirror world, he felt completely at ease. Not only were his senses greatly enhanced, but he even felt as if he could freely control the layout of this mirror world.

It was precisely because of these enhanced senses that Zhou Fangdong immediately noticed the anomaly in the mirror world—a small part of the mirror world had been isolated.

That's probably the main god instance.

Without a second thought, Zhou Fangdong headed straight there.

His body instantly melted into a lump of black sludge on the spot, and when he reformed, he was already at the edge of the main god instance.

—In this mirror world, he can actually teleport!

This slime body is way too useful!

The area separated by the main god was like a transparent membrane. His body turned back into a puddle of mud, and he gnawed at the membrane for a long time, making a hole and successfully infiltrating the main god's instance.

Although invading the instance took a little time, finding the ordinary people in the instance went smoothly, and Zhou Fangdong quickly found the people gathered in the supermarket.

...It's just a little annoying that these people treat me like a ghost.

He admitted that he wasn't very skilled at creating character faces the first time, but these people didn't need to make such a big deal out of it...

Damn it, what a bunch of people with no aesthetic sense.

Zhou Fangdong casually fiddled with the thick gold chain on his chest, put one hand on his hip, and said, "Tell me about the clues you obtained in the dungeon."

He needs to use the information from these instances to find the ghosts within them, kill the ghosts, and lead them out.

The slime body was a better fit for the mirror world than he had imagined. The longer he stayed in the mirror world, the stronger he felt he had control over it.

If he weren't blocked by the God's instance, he could have opened an exit in the mirror world and thrown all the ordinary people captured by the God out, without needing to use the ghosts in other rooms to corrupt the God's instance.

Zhao Dawei was startled by Zhou Fangdong's large gold chain and subconsciously looked up, only to be caught off guard by that face. He quickly lowered his head, staring at those bare feet in loafers, and began to recount the information he had gathered about this instance in a heavy voice.

After listening to him, Zhou Fangdong nodded.

It was indeed a very simple dungeon. There was only one ghost in the dungeon, and all you had to do was find the 'Mirror Fairy' and kill it.

Zhou Fangdong instructed, "You stay here and keep watch in the supermarket. Don't move. I'm going to find that 'Mirror Fairy'." With that, he turned and left.

As the green-haired young man turned around, everyone in the supermarket breathed a sigh of relief.

To Zhou Fangdong's surprise, he hadn't gone far when he discovered a group of ghosts fighting each other at the end of the street; there were at least twenty of them.

According to Zhao Dawei and the others, there should only be one ghost, the 'Mirror Immortal,' in this main god's mirror instance. How come so many have suddenly appeared?

And how did they end up fighting each other?

After careful observation, Zhou Fangdong finally noticed that among the ghosts on the right side of the fierce battle, there were several bald men wearing human skin hats.

These cult members of the Bone Inheritance Society are helping the ghosts on the right fight the group of ghosts on the left.

Zhou Fangdong could sense that the group of ghosts on the left and the replica of the main god in the mirror shared the same origin.

...Cult members are actually attacking the monsters under the command of the supreme god.

Zhou Fangdong touched his chiseled chin, looking somewhat puzzled.

He entered using the Ghost Mirror, but how did this group of cultists get into this mirror copy?

And what is the purpose of this group of cultists coming in?

In this instance, they didn't harm ordinary people; instead, they attacked the monsters controlled by the main god. ...Could it be that the 'main god' he mentioned in his fake oracle had worked, and the Bone Heir Society started targeting the main god, actively clearing out the main god's instance?
