Chapter 11 S-Rank Mysterious Dungeon, Orphan's Lament
"Ling Chen, I arranged this to protect you and keep your secret from being leaked," Hao Ziyao explained to Ling Chen in a low voice.
"Su Qing is also being groomed by the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations. She is very strong, and you will be protected if you team up with her."
Looking at Su Qing's cold face, Ling Chen felt that it was already good enough that she wouldn't make things difficult for him behind his back, let alone protect him.
After making the arrangements, Hao Ziyao left, as he had a lot of work to do as a minister.
After the other party left, Su Qing snorted coldly, showing no kindness whatsoever to Ling Chen.
"Meet at the Investigation Bureau at 8:00 AM tomorrow for a mission."
"I just joined and I'm already on a mission?" Ling Chen said with a bitter face.
Now he has no trump cards left; he's used up his protective charms and run out of ghost coins.
The risk of carrying out the mission at this time is too great.
Su Qing didn't give Ling Chen a chance to refuse. After instructing someone to take Ling Chen to receive the benefits of joining the Investigation Bureau, she turned and left.
Only one staff member remained, looking embarrassed, and asked Ling Chen in a low voice.
"Can we go get the things now?"
"Hmm!" Although Ling Chen was in a bad mood, he didn't make things difficult for the other party, after all, the grievances should be settled by the person in charge.
Led by the staff, Ling Chen quickly received his exclusive equipment.
Unlimited supply of combat uniforms, firearms and ammunition, private car and driver, a salary card, and a fully equipped villa.
This is indeed a very good benefit, with a monthly allowance of 20. It would be even better if I didn't have to do any tasks.
"I'll have the driver take you to the villa now," the staff member said.
Ling Chen nodded.
He soon arrived at his villa by car.
The villa is very luxurious and fully equipped.
It not only has a gym, but also an entertainment area.
In Ling Chen's eyes, none of these things were the most important. The most important thing now was to exchange for potions and strengthen his own power.
Through this period of accumulation, Ling Chen has earned enough Love Points to exchange for enhancement potions.
[Do you wish to use Affection Points to exchange for an enhancement potion?]
"exchange."
Without hesitation, Ling Chen redeemed the item.
A bottle of green potion appeared directly in his hand.
I tilted my head back and drank it down, and immediately felt a warm current rising in my lower abdomen.
The whole process lasted an hour.
Waving his fist and feeling his enhanced body, Ling Chen felt like he could kill a bull.
"This gives me a bit more leverage, and I'll be able to do the mission better tomorrow."
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Ling Chen took a car directly to the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations to meet up.
Before embarking on the mission, Ling Chen used his merit points to exchange for a magical artifact.
The remaining five wedding dresses have all been converted into merit points, which is a good opportunity to see the Investigation Bureau's true strength.
"Someone, take him away." Su Qing's face remained cold, showing no liking for Ling Chen.
Ling Chen wasn't going to offer his help only to be met with indifference, unless the other party was Zhao Ruoyun.
Soon, led by a special person, Ling Chen arrived at the room where the strange artifacts were stored.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt himself being locked onto by several pairs of eyes.
It's clear that the Bureau of Investigation attaches great importance to this place.
There were only about twenty strange artifacts in the room, including five wedding dresses provided by Ling Chen.
Moreover, the descriptions of these mysterious artifacts are not comprehensive, and some even lack any description at all.
Ling Chen's gaze swept over the strange artifacts, and he quickly spotted a phoenix crown.
"This is really beautiful. If I gave it to Zhao Ruoyun, she would definitely love it."
Without hesitation, Ling Chen chose the phoenix crown.
As for the specific function of the phoenix crown, Ling Chen didn't care at all, since he wasn't the one using it.
After choosing the phoenix crown, Ling Chen saw another doll that broke the deadlock.
This is a cursed rag doll; its effect is to substitute for one death, but wearing this rag doll will attract the attention of a strange entity.
For others, carrying this doll might mean being killed by the bizarre events described in the introduction before they even have a chance to use its kicking ability.
However, Ling Chen wasn't worried at all, because he might not even live to see that strange creature come to kill him.
After selecting two strange artifacts, Ling Chen couldn't find anything more suitable and had to give up.
Outside, Su Qing had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing Ling Chen return, he immediately said, "Let's go."
The target this time is a small, eerie instance. Due to special circumstances, the instance entrance cannot be closed, and it has already begun to affect the real world.
In addition, the dungeon entrance is located on a major traffic artery, and many people have already been killed because of it, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible.
After learning about the mission objective from the other team members, Ling Chen felt much better.
They had been preparing for this task for several days; it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea from Su Qing.
The team of eleven people in two vehicles set off directly for the mission location.
……
"I can sense Ling Chen's location."
Because of the internal yin marriage, Zhao Ruoyun was able to sense Ling Chen's approximate location.
Previously, Ling Chen's presence was concealed by the Investigation Bureau's mysterious artifacts while he was at the Bureau.
Now that he's left the Investigation Bureau, Zhao Ruoyun naturally senses it.
"Miss, are we going to find the young master?" Liu Yiyi asked weakly.
She was seriously injured yesterday, and since she hasn't killed anyone indiscriminately in this world, her recovery is very slow.
On the contrary, Zhao Ruoyun, after a night's rest, has recovered to her peak condition.
"Okay, you stay here and hide well. I'll go rescue him alone," Zhao Ruoyun said.
"Please take me with you, miss. I promise I won't be a burden."
Liu Yiyi felt extremely guilty about what happened yesterday.
She was convinced that she was the one who led the investigation bureau people there, so now that she was going to find Ling Chen, she had to go with him.
Even knowing the danger, even with the threat of death, she was determined to make amends for her mistakes.
Seeing Liu Yiyi's resolute expression, Zhao Ruoyun said.
"Let's go together then."
It was daytime, and Liu Yiyi was injured, so the two dared not travel openly, and their pace was not fast.
Just as they set off, Ling Chen and the others had already arrived at the entrance to the eerie dungeon.
Led by Su Qing, everyone entered the instance without hesitation.
[The Mysterious Dungeon: Orphan's Lament]
[Number of players in the instance: Unknown]
[Identity: Unknown]
The only rule: Survive!
As soon as I entered the instance, I saw a blood-red notification.
The chilling atmosphere around them sent shivers down one's spine.
"No, this isn't a normal dungeon!"
Su Qing immediately noticed the anomaly; the situation inside the instance was clearly different from what she had previously gathered.
As can be seen from the hints, the fewer the hints, the higher the difficulty of the dungeon.
The dungeon in front of us is at least an S-rank bizarre dungeon.
An S-level eerie dungeon contains at least five red-clad fierce ghosts, or even more powerful beings.
Their squad could barely hold their own against one fierce red-clad figure, but against five, it would be suicidal.
Upon noticing the anomaly, Su Qing immediately wanted to leave the instance.
But when he turned around, he found that the dungeon entrance that was right behind him had simply disappeared.
Instantly, the entire team was gripped by panic.
