Chapter 12 Details of Sheling Tunnel



After his cousin finished drinking the porridge and went to work, Zhang Yuanqing went back to his room to take a nap.

When I woke up, I heard dynamic sound effects. I opened my eyes and saw the fluorescent light of the TV screen flashing in the room, but the ceiling lights were not on.

He sat up and looked towards the window. His aunt was sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, playing her PS5. She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her two white and tender arms, and her delicate body swayed from side to side with the joystick.

Zhang Yuanqing yawned, stood up, turned on the light, came behind his aunt and watched her play games.

She was playing a horror game with a gloomy style and eerie music. The protagonist was an ugly little man who carried a bloody axe and killed his enemies all the way, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

The fluorescent light from the TV was reflected in her bright eyes, and her round oval face was bright with a hint of excitement.

"This game is great, perfect for playing at night, and quite healing." My aunt said without turning her head.

My aunt has three hobbies: shopping, watching horror movies, and playing horror games.

It's depressing, you perverted woman... Zhang Yuanqing agreed, but his heart wasn't in it: "It's quite interesting."

My aunt turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you talking nonsense to me?"

She turned back to play the game and said:

"In fact, this is a self-healing game. The ghosts in the picture are all imagined by the little boy. He is a mentally ill patient. In order not to be devoured by the demons in his heart, he struggles hard and finally fights his way out and sees the light. The ending is very touching."

While she was talking, Zhang Yuanqing had already poured himself a glass of water and responded while drinking: "Good idea..."

My aunt hummed twice and then said:

"Each boss has its own rules. As long as you pay attention, even a little boy can defeat the terrible devil. But the horrific images and music often make people feel fearful and lose their calm judgment.

"You come and play too."

Zhang Yuanqing was in no mood to play games with his aunt. It had been almost 20 hours since he left the spiritual realm. In another ten hours, the spiritual realm would open again, and what might be waiting for him was death.

He might as well think about what to do in the last dozen hours of his life to avoid any regrets.

Call mom and scold her? Hug aunt and cry? Sing and rap with uncle for the last time?

He suddenly realized that he had nothing particularly regretful, nor any dreams or wishes. As a college student from a relatively well-off family, his life did not have too many worries.

Only those who have experienced many vicissitudes of life have many regrets that they cannot let go of.

"Hey, come and play!" My aunt twisted her waist and said coquettishly.

Looking at her beautiful back, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes gradually softened. He sat down next to his aunt and took the handle from her hand.

If there are only a dozen hours left in life, it wouldn't be bad to play a game with her.

Under the guidance of his aunt who was chewing potato chips, Zhang Yuanqing finished the game. When he looked at the time, he found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Not bad, not bad, very talented."

The aunt sucked her white and tender fingers, patted her nephew's shoulder and praised him, and wiped her saliva on him.

"Isn't it disgusting? It's so dirty." Zhang Yuanqing looked disgusted.

"Bah, this is nectar, don't be ungrateful for what you have." Jiang Yu'er said shamelessly.

"Nectar? How much is one pound?" Zhang Yuanqing sneered.

"I won't sell it to you no matter how much money you pay, but I can give you a few bites." Jiang Yu'er pouted, as if she was going to spit on Zhang Yuanqing.

Zhang Yuanqing leaned back to avoid it.

Snap!

The doorknob turned and grandma stood at the door, looking at the two of them with a frown.

Zhang Yuanqing and Jiang Yuer immediately sat up straight.

"Are you going to eat or not?" Grandma scolded, "You don't sleep at night but sleep during the day, and when you wake up you play games. Are you born a human and want to become an immortal? Are you born on earth and want to go to heaven?"

Zhang Yuanqing put down the controller and said, "I know, I know. I'll eat right away."

The grandmother gave her daughter a cold look, and the aunt rolled back to her boudoir in shame.

........

The dinner was kept warm, and grandma heated up the cold dishes. Zhang Yuanqing quickly filled his stomach, returned to his room, summoned his inventory, and confirmed that the corpse-suppressing talisman was still there.

Then he reviewed his property panel.

Then, while praying for good news from Li Dongze, he thought about every detail of the mountain temple.

Just now, while playing games with his aunt, he had a new realization.

Since the spirit world is also a game, is there a pattern? If he finds the pattern, even if he is a powerless little boy, he may be able to pass the game smoothly.

As he was daydreaming, a shrill ring rang, causing Zhang Yuanqing's heart to stop.

He grabbed the phone on the bedside table, saw that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, and chose to answer it.

"Hello, is this Zhang Yuanqing?"

A sexy voice came from the speaker. Zhang Yuanqing was surprised and asked:

"Did you get the information about Sheling Tunnel?"

Guan Ya said 'hmm':

"The captain got more detailed information for you, and he asked me to send it to your email. I know you young people never check your email, so I called to let you know."

As expected, it is the official one. Joining the official one is the right choice... Zhang Yuanqing's mood brightened instantly. He resisted the urge to rush to the computer to check the email and said sincerely:

"Thank Chief Li and Sister Guan Ya for me. I'll treat you to a meal when I successfully complete the trial mission."

Successfully completed the trial... Guan Ya sighed inwardly, and after hesitating for a while, her voice was unusually gentle:

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

She had already read the information sent by Taiyi Sect. After reading it, she felt only despair and despair. No wonder the headmaster was in a bad mood the whole day.

In Li Dongze's mind, this newly recruited Night Walker would probably fail in the trial mission.

After finishing customs clearance, Zhang Yuanqing pulled out the ergonomic chair, and couldn't wait to start his laptop and log into his email.

He found the email from Guan Ya among the mess of unread emails.

Downloaded the attached document.

.......

[Sheling Tunnel, Spirit Realm No. 0079, Difficulty Level: S, Type: Single Player (Death Type)]

[Main Mission 1: Survive for three hours.]

[Main Mission 2: Explore Spirit Realm No. 0079.]

Just like my trial mission... Zhang Yuanqing was cheered up. This was a good sign. The closer the content description was to his mission, the better.

[The scene of the spiritual realm No. 0079 is not the Sheling Tunnel, but an ancient temple from the Ming Dynasty called the Sandashan Niangniang Temple.

[According to my speculation, this lady should be a night-wandering god of a very high status. No, perhaps she can no longer be called a night-wandering god. It is not clear whether there really was such a gorgeous lady in the Ming Dynasty. It is also possible that she was fabricated by the spirit world.]

Then there was a long description of the deeds of Sandashan Niangniang, the content of which was consistent with what Zhang Yuanqing saw in the temple.

Then read on:

[The task of surviving for three hours is relatively simple. Initially, after reading the contents of the notes, I encountered the entanglement of a vengeful spirit. Its characteristic is to continuously extract the yang energy of living things until the target dies.

[The Night Wanderer has a natural suppression on spirits. I expelled it without much effort, but when I wanted to devour it, I encountered a huge obstacle. This may be the protection of the spirit realm for the resentful spirit.

[Everyone who has read the notes will be cursed and harassed by evil spirits. Any method of getting rid of them will only be short-lived. Getting rid of the evil spirits once will give them a 15-minute safety period.

[It is worth mentioning that the overall layout of the mountain temple is a main hall and two adjacent backyards. The candle in the main hall is an extremely powerful prop that has the ability to suppress evil and purify. As long as you hide in the main hall, it means safety. The price is that the candle will eliminate the fear in people's hearts. Bathing in the candlelight for a long time will make you fearless. In such a dangerous spiritual realm, fearlessness is fatal. In addition, it cannot be moved and cannot be taken out of the spiritual realm.

[After staying in the main hall for half an hour, I suddenly heard a cry for help from the backyard, mixed with a creepy roar that didn't sound like the roar of a living creature. After hesitating for a while, I decided to explore the backyard.]

The main hall is indeed a safe house, I have verified this myself, but I didn't expect the root cause was the candles. I thought it was the beautiful mountain goddess...

The cry for help came from the big banyan tree. I didn't hear the roar. The yard to the east was indeed terrifying... Zhang Yuanqing's heart shuddered and he took a deep breath.

He took a deep breath and continued reading attentively. The information at the end was very important. If he could know the situation of the other yard in advance, he could avoid danger when exploring.

[The big banyan tree is very dangerous, don’t look back, don’t look back...]

[This banyan tree seems to have consciousness, but why is it asking for help? As for the terrible roar, I didn't find the source because its appearance interrupted my exploration. It was a pair of... red dancing shoes. ]

[It didn't attack me right away, but invited me to dance. Out of a tentative mentality, I agreed to its invitation...]

[I couldn't remember the steps at all. They were too chaotic and complicated. For someone like me who had no dancing experience, it was impossible to accomplish this. No, even someone with dancing experience couldn't remember those steps. I failed. The red dancing shoes started to chase me.]

[I successfully escaped back to the main hall, but it broke two of my ribs. I think I have seen its true face. It is an extremely terrifying prop. Its tracking ignores terrain and obstacles and will not stop until it achieves its goal. Initial speculation is that it is a rule-based prop. ]

[It is unbelievable that there are rule-based props in a trial spiritual realm. I finally understand why Qian Shou died in the mountain temple even though he had a prop. I also understand why no one has ever passed this spiritual realm. What a joke. Anyone who can enter the Sheling Tunnel must be a level 1 early night wandering god or an ordinary person. How can they pass it?]

[For the time being, we don't know the reason for the decline of the mountain temple, nor do we know what the secret that concerns the rise and fall of a thousand years is. We hope to successfully complete the second main task and bring back the truth for the organization.]

The information ends here and there is no follow-up.

Zhang Yuanqing knew that this night wandering god had most likely died in the second main mission.
