Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 47 Target! Dachang City! (Part 2)
"Yes, that's right. According to the investigation, Liu Wenqiang and his brother were both involved in the gold shop robbery that year. His brother was proficient in chemistry and even taught him how to make explosives. However, because the chemical composition was wrong and the robbery plan couldn't wait, they rushed into action without using explosives. It is said that he even swore in prison that he would make explosives and kill your whole family when he got out."

“Wait a minute,” Jiang Jin suddenly remembered something, “You just said that the Gu worm is called the Mind-Reading Leech? Could it be the kind that can read minds?”

The information related to witchcraft in the Reincarnator's Watch is almost entirely unpublished.

"That's right. When the reincarnators went to arrest her, Liu Yan said in person that she had read Liu Wenqiang's memories through the Mind-Reading Leech. Although he later pretended to be obediently accepting reform, he was thinking that as soon as he got out of prison, he would do everything he could to find your family through his underworld connections and then use explosives to kill your whole family! She even said that according to the memories she read, Liu Wenqiang had been self-studying chemistry in prison. Combined with the chemistry knowledge his brother taught him, his knowledge of chemical proportions was enough to make explosives with terrifying destructive power. She herself had even looked it up online!"

"That beast!" Jiang Jin clenched his fists upon hearing "kill his entire family!"
"She also said that she met a lot of all sorts of inmates in prison, and once she gets out, it won't be difficult for her to find out her boyfriend's address, which is you. In fact, she would definitely know where you work! She also specifically stated that she has already broken up with you, and that this was her own decision, which you were completely unaware of from beginning to end. She told the reincarnators not to come looking for you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin's body began to tremble.

"We investigated later, and it's true that you broke up."

"An investigation? Nobody's come looking for me."

“We are reincarnators, and we have countless ways to find out if she is telling the truth without directly contacting you. Because you are an ordinary person, we reincarnators generally try our best to avoid involving ordinary people when investigating cases. And your profession is... a constable in the government, so we naturally hope that you don't know the inside story. Only the government or even the highest levels of the imperial court have the right to know about the affairs of reincarnators. Obviously, Liu Yan had planned everything long ago. She foresaw all of this in order to avoid involving you.”

Then, she suddenly flicked the coin in her hand and caught it steadily: "Who would have thought that in just a few days, you would also become a Reincarnator. And then... Liu Yan resisted arrest and fled, and strangely... her Reincarnator watch disappeared in the Tiexi District on the outskirts of the city, which is close to the edge of the Muxu City administrative area. This is very strange, and judging from the location, she could not have entered the horror instance."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin almost bit his lip until it bled!
"Then, is her fate now unknown?"

"She is a sorcerer. We don't really want to detain such a rare and powerful reincarnator. We would prefer to get her a suspended sentence. But so far, we haven't been able to find her. The information I found is that in order to find her, the department dispatched a priest-type reincarnator to perform divination. In the end, all we know is... that she is currently in a place called Dachang City."

Jiang Jin frowned: "Dachang City? I've never heard of this city."

Wen Qi shook her head: "It's not in our world. However, there is a horror novel in which the protagonist, 'Ghost Eye Yang Jian,' comes from Dachang City. But we have investigated, and in any known horror dungeons that have been explored, there is no place called Dachang City. It may just be a coincidence of the same name."

Jiang Jin's pupils suddenly contracted.

He immediately remembered the quest, "Ghost Eye Yang Jian's Wish"!
Jiang Jin understood.

Of course you wouldn't know.

Because this is a hidden dungeon!
But why did Liu Yan enter this hidden instance? Did she also receive a quest for this hidden instance?
"I will find her," Jiang Jin said with unwavering determination. "I will!"

"I hope you can be reunited. Okay, you can go now. If I hear any news about her, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Assistant Director Wen..."

"No need to thank me, after all, I'm a woman too. Okay, you can go now. You'll stay in room 17 of section C. Also... remember to be a responsible dog owner in the camp."

Jiang Jin didn't know how he got outside.

He found room 17 in section C, swiped his card to open the door, and Deathstroke ran inside first. The room was more spacious than he had expected, about 40 square meters, with a single bed, a desk, a simple wardrobe, and a small shower room.

After all, this place is mainly for lower-level reincarnators, so we can't expect the living environment to be too good.

"Quite thoughtful." After closing the door, Jiang Jin squatted down and quickly took out the golden box from the Reincarnator's Watch.

He had already roughly determined that the knocking ghost inside the ancestral hall was an extremely terrifying ghost.

Jiang Jin learned from the prompts of the reincarnation system that this knocking ghost could open a domain called "ghost domain," and could even turn ordinary ghosts into so-called "ghost slaves."

However, Jiang Jin's strength is still too weak. He can only command the knocking ghost for a very short time and expand a small ghost domain. Otherwise, the knocking ghost is very likely to turn against him. After all, he is not a soul-capturing master and does not have the means to counter the ghost slave's devouring of its master.

The demon's only weakness is gold. However, gold is only effective against demons within the [Terror Resurgence] instance; it has no effect on demons in other instances. Only after confirming the power of gold to suppress demons and that he could control the demon did he dare to use it to complete the soul-suppressing ritual.

It's worth mentioning that the NPC who helps him unlock the box and make a new key is also Boss Chen.

The reincarnation system also informed Jiang Jin that ghosts like the "Knocking Ghost" are also known as rule-based evil spirits. Their most distinctive characteristic is... once attacked, the probability of them generating resentment crystals is far higher than that of ordinary evil spirits!
Jiang Jin gripped the golden chest tightly, and a prompt appeared before his eyes once more.

"Reincarnator Jiang Jin, you currently possess the [Golden Box of Ghost Eye Yang Jian]. This golden box was crafted by Soul Master Wu Qin and given to Ghost Eye Yang Jian, the Ghost Master of [Terror Resurgence], which altered the original historical course of the instance, imprisoned the [Knocking Ghost], and the [Knocking Ghost] has become your ghost slave."

You now have two choices:

First, since the entrance to the [Terror Resurgence] instance dimension is not included in the containment area of ​​the Reincarnation System, if you deliver the [Golden Box of Ghost Eye Yang Jian], which imprisons the [Knocking Ghost], to the Cleaner through the Reincarnation System, it will be assessed as a Keter-class containment object and placed in the containment area. For this, you will receive an [Undying Pardon] issued by the Cleaner, which allows you to permanently and safely traverse the containment area and exempts you from the penalty of being cleaned up by the Cleaner twice.

Second, accept the quest "Ghost Eye Yang's Wish" and travel to the "Terror Resurgence" dimension (rewards as shown before). Once this quest is accepted, this item will be officially included in the reincarnation system's quest items, and the golden box will no longer be able to be handed over to the cleaner for safekeeping.

Do you decide to accept this mission? Yes/No

Note: You are currently only a Level 1 Hunter, Bloodstalker. If you choose the second option, this quest is extremely dangerous for you. According to the Reincarnation System's assessment, your probability of dying in this instance is over 65% at this stage. Once you accept the quest, you cannot leave this instance until you complete it.

Are you sure you want to accept the mission?

When Jiang Jin went to Boss Chen's locksmith to get a key made, he told him that he could hand over the box in exchange for something more valuable. At that time, a similar text message appeared before his eyes.

On one side was an "Undying Pardon" token, and on the other was "65% mortality rate." Jiang Jin barely hesitated before choosing "Yes"!
　Although both Buddha and I adhere to the belief that "ghosts cannot be killed" and "only ghosts can deal with ghosts," I am definitely not writing this as a simple mystery resurrection fanfiction. Infinite flow and fanfiction are different.

　　According to the original timeline, by this time the starving ghost incident in Dachang City had fully erupted, and No. 7 Middle School was shrouded in gloom.
　　But here, No. 7 Middle School started school normally.

　　You can look forward to it.

　　What would a "Black Spark" version of the Dachang City Starving Ghost Incident look like?
