Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 26 The Golden Container, the Door-Knocking Ghost, and Yang Jian with Ghost Eyes

at the same time.

Two men appeared in front of the Huang family's old house.

"Brother, you're in. Are you sure this is the house?"

“Of course, I have a blood pact with the Cursed Paper Bag. Hmph, I had no choice but to put it into this instance when I was being hunted by the Bloodthirsty Team.” A sinister-looking man with high cheekbones said as he walked, “However, we have to hurry. We sneaked in through the Boundary Gathering Order and can only stay for 6 minutes, provided that we don’t disturb the reincarnators’ trial mission in the instance.”

"I know, brother! This time it went surprisingly smoothly. I deliberately loosened the strap on my shotgun, and that little cop actually dared to try and take the gun!"

If Jiang Jin were here, he would be shocked to discover that the person who called that man with high cheekbones "Big Brother" was actually Liang Qin!
After Liang Qin and the man with high cheekbones entered the Huang family's old house, he continued, "You didn't see it at the time, but he really did shoot right away! Afterwards, I had to have a reason not to hold him accountable, so I said I admired him and told him to go collect resentment crystals. Otherwise, if no one dared to take the gun, I would have had to pretend to drop it on the ground."

"You should try to make your acting more realistic in the future. He might realize something's wrong afterward. He also chose the hunter class, and he'll understand how terrifying a hunter's hunting instincts are. He'll naturally be suspicious that he, a trainee reincarnator, could successfully snatch a gun from behind you, a LV2 Ghost Hunter, and that your undead hound, transformed from a German Shepherd, didn't even have time to pounce on him. It's completely illogical. You know, even a living German Shepherd wouldn't react that slowly, let alone an undead hound! Also, what did you tell him about collecting resentment crystals? Are resentment crystals some kind of cabbage? You can just collect them whenever you want?"

"Yes, Brother is indeed very thoughtful! After all, it was just something made up on the spot, so the wording was a bit inappropriate."

"Well, at least you let him successfully steal your 'Mourning'. Anyone who forcibly takes the 'Mourning' without your permission will be constantly haunted by the curse attached to that shotgun, and it can even be located in the horror dungeon. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to find a way to enter this dungeon for a while, since this dungeon is generally for trials for reserve personnel up to LV1 level. With your location, we can temporarily sneak in using the Boundary Breaking Gathering Order."

Afterwards, the man with high cheekbones and Liang Qin were on high alert, prepared for a ghost attack, but to their surprise, they made it to the second floor without any problems.

At this moment, they arrived at the room where Jiang Jin had been attacked by the evil spirit.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Liang Qin entered the room, immediately noticed the drawer was open, and exclaimed in surprise, "This..."

“Don’t worry,” the man with high cheekbones said, “The Cursed Paper Bag is a special product of the Reincarnation System. I obtained it through a lottery during a mission. It’s a unique storage item in the entire system. Its ethereal storage function ensures that as long as you’re inside the instance, the system shield will be activated, and no ghost or reincarnator except me can see or touch the bag. Even if the instance resets again and again, it will always stay in the same location. Through the blood pact link, I can sense its location no matter where I am.”

He walked to the drawer, looked over, and then... his expression suddenly changed!
"Where...where is it? When I activated the blood pact link, I clearly sensed that it was in a drawer in this room of this old house!"

At this moment, the man with the high cheekbones went completely mad!
"I finally got my hands on this! It's the only thing that will allow me to enter that instance again!"

"Big...Big brother...didn't you say the blood pact link's location wouldn't be wrong?"

"The time flow in the horror instance is inconsistent with that in the real world. I did sense this location when I activated the Boundary Gathering Order, but it disappeared after I entered, which means it was taken away after that! I'll try activating the Blood Pact Link again..."

The man with high cheekbones closed his eyes. Two seconds later, he felt a little more at ease: "I sensed it. It's still in this instance, inside a ghoul! So... it was possessed by that policeman who said he wanted to choose the hunter class! Strange, how could a ghoul swallow the cursed paper bag?"

"Then, let's go find it right away..."

"No, we used special items to forcibly smuggle ourselves in. Interference with the Reincarnators' Trial is forbidden!" The man with high cheekbones gritted his teeth: "We can only stay in this instance for less than two minutes. Time is too tight!"

The man with high cheekbones was filled with murderous hatred. "That's a hidden instance I finally found that doesn't require going through the restricted area! That way, no other reincarnator can compete with me! Back then, I finally managed to team up with a ghost tamer named Ghost Eye Yang Jian in that instance to seal that old man knocking on the door into this golden container! This could have been my greatest asset! Most importantly, with that golden container, I could relocate back to that instance!"

The man with high cheekbones kicked the drawer hard!

"In that instance, there are so-called ghost tamers, similar to mediums. They use ghosts to subdue ghosts, as well as special evil spirits. Moreover, that instance can even use gold to seal ghosts, which is unheard of! No other reincarnators can find such an instance, which could have been a pioneering ground for me alone!"

"That……"

"Fortunately, the Cursed Paper Bag's ethereal storage function ensures that only I can open the bag! As long as I don't die, the Reincarnator won't be able to take out the golden container inside!"

"There's still a chance! But then again, if he can open the bag and then open that golden container, he'll be dead already."

“No…” The man with high cheekbones shook his head: “If he can open that container, it will be troublesome! After all, I am only a LV2 Soul Keeper: Ghost Raider. To control that old man knocking on the door, I have to take risks. So after the forty-nine days of my spirit control, the first reincarnator that ghost sees will become its master, even if that reincarnator is not me, or even a Soul Keeper!”

He stomped his feet angrily: "At that time, I was being chased by the Bloodthirsty Team in Qingtan Community. Their team's Dragon Warrior was a Level 2 sorcerer who could cast spells on my items. It hadn't been 49 days yet, so I could only escape into an apartment building and throw it into the [Water Pool Evil Spirit] dimension entrance! And the dungeon entrance keeps changing... I couldn't find it after that!"

He paused, then continued, "It wasn't until I detected through special means that the trial at the entrance to this instance would reopen in the Qingtan Community early this morning, that I arranged for you to take on the newbie guidance mission to avoid attracting the attention of the Bloody Team! After that, I used your incantation to sense the reincarnators who entered the instance and activated the Boundary Gathering Order, only then did I return to this [Water Pool Evil Spirit] plane! Damn it! I must kill that hunter reincarnator and get the stuff back!"

"But, brother!" Liang Qin hurriedly said, "Didn't you just say that we can't stay in this instance for more than two minutes? Besides, we can't interfere with the Reincarnators' Trial, let alone kill anyone!"

"It's alright... the dungeon entrance won't change today anyway! After we get out, we'll camp outside the dungeon entrance! As long as he comes out alive, the two of us LV2 Reincarnators, one Ghost Hunter, and one Ghost Raider, killing him will be a piece of cake, right?"

"We don't necessarily have to kill him, do we? Why not just make him hand over the curse-inducing paper bag?" Liang Qin said.

"What a woman's kindness! If I spare his life, he'll harbor resentment and tell everyone. What if the Bloodthirsty Gang finds out? I'm a Level 2 Soul Stealer who specifically stakes out and steals from a newbie. They might start to suspect something!"

At this point, the man with high cheekbones suddenly changed his expression.

"My God... I have to pray that he can get out of the dungeon alive, he absolutely can't die at the hands of ghosts!"

Then, his and Liang Qin's figures began to appear and disappear, as they were about to leave this instance.

"I, Wu Qin, must go back! I will enslave that ghost-controlling man named Ghost Eye Yang Jian to my own soul!"
