Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 48 Target! Dachang City! (Part 2)
A 65% mortality rate... It is precisely because it is so dangerous that he is even more determined to rescue Liu Yan!
Moreover, the system's evaluation will not take into account the lawyer's professional abilities!
"You are about to be transported by the Reincarnation System to the [Terror Resurgence] instance!"

The next moment, he and Deathstroke... vanished completely from the spot!

at the same time……

Dingyou Reincarnation Camp, Villa No. 7 in Area A, is the base of the Bloodthirsty Team.

Matsui Nagi stood silently in front of the captain's office on the fourth floor, her black leather boots clicking on the deep red carpet. She raised her hand and knocked, her knuckles striking the metal door with three clear, crisp sounds.

"Come in." A deep male voice came from inside the door.

She pushed open the door and entered. The room was dimly lit, with the heavy curtains half-drawn. The interplay of light and shadow caused the curtains to tremble slightly.

The leader, "Blood Lord," sat behind a large desk. He looked to be thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with a stern face and slightly dark skin. The lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light, obscuring his eyes.

Beside him stood Kim Suk-mi, the team's scout, a priestess of level 2: Shrine Keeper. She wore a dark red, form-fitting robe with intricate runes embroidered on the cuffs and a pendant adorning her chest. Her eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, seemed to hold the waters of spring, and the dark red robe billowed with each breath, creating a full, flowing arc. When she smiled, the pendant shimmered with tiny, shimmering lights on her chest, exuding a bewitching aura.

"Captain, Sister Jin." Matsui Nagi lowered her head slightly, her voice cold and clear.

Blood Lord looked up at her, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table: "What's going on?"

Matsui Nagi didn't waste any words and reported directly: "Wu Qin is dead."

The air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Kim Sook-mi narrowed her eyes and glanced at Matsui Nagi: "Are you sure?"

“Both of us are soul-stealers. We performed a soul-stealing ritual on him a long time ago to create a ‘soul guide,’ but now… it’s broken.” Matsui Nagi took a shattered black crystal from her pocket and placed it on the table. “He’s definitely dead.”

Blood Lord was silent for a moment, then said, "The team went to great lengths to hunt him down, and it all came to nothing?"

He stood up, walked to the window, parted a corner of the curtain with his fingers, and looked outside.

“Wu Qin has four fragments of resentment crystals and that Soul Refining Jar,” he said softly, but with an undeniable sense of pressure. “These things should belong to our Bloodstained Team.”

Matsui Nagi said, "I have checked, and someone witnessed him sneaking into Qingtan Community in the early hours of the morning. Based on my perception of Soul Guidance, he did not die in the dungeon, but died in Qingtan Community."

"Investigate," Blood Lord said coldly. "Investigate all the reincarnators who entered and exited Qingtan Community during that period. If he died at the hands of the mysterious forces within Qingtan Community, that's one thing, but if any reincarnators killed for treasure or stole prey that our Bloodthirsty Team had its eyes on, then they're courting death!"

Matsui Nagi nodded: "We're already investigating, and we've narrowed it down to a few candidates."

"Speak." Blood Lord was very satisfied; he liked subordinates who would get things done without needing to be told.

"The first one is the Dawn team from the Yiwei camp. They certainly have the ability to kill Wu Qin."

“Dawn?” Kim Suk-mi frowned. “That group is not to be trifled with.”

"The second one is a newcomer named Jiang Jin. He was sent to Qingtan Community last night and entered the dungeon trial in the early hours of the morning. His mentor is Liang Qin, who belongs to the Dinghai Camp, just like Wu Qin."

Blood Lord's fingertip paused: "A newcomer?"

“Yes, her profession is hunter, LV1 Blood Tracker,” Matsui Nagi added.

Jin Shumei sneered: "A mere LV1, can kill Wu Qin?"

“But strangely enough, Liang Qin also died.” Matsui Nagi paused. “His time of death was very close to that of Wu Qin.”

Who is third?

"Our old rival: Lady Pustule."

Blood Lord's glasses gleamed slightly: "It's her?"

Kim Suk-mi's expression turned serious: "If it is her, she has both the ability and the motive. I think it is most likely her."

"Find out the truth." Blood Lord turned around, his eyes icy. "Whoever dares to touch what the Bloody Team has its eyes on, they will pay the price." Matsui Nagi lowered her head: "Yes."

Jin Shumei suddenly spoke up: "Commander, should I go to Qingtan Community? My 'shrine' has a certain probability of being able to rewind to the scene of death."

Blood Lord pondered for a moment and nodded: "But what you're doing is quite dangerous. You might fall into the depths of the Lost Layer of Qingtan Community... How about this, I'll have Long Cang go with you."

Matsui Nagi hurriedly said, "Commander, it's not necessary... to put the vice commander in danger for this, is it?"

"Four fragments of resentment crystals plus a soul-refining urn—it's worth the risk. With them, our team will be even stronger! Tell Long Cang that if things go well, I'll arrange for his nephew, Long Wu, to advance to level 3 Flying Head Spellcaster!"

"Yes."

Kim Suk-mi's red lips curled slightly, her eyes flashing with an eerie light: "No matter who it is, I will make them... regret provoking the Bloodthirsty Team."

Jiang Jin once again experienced that familiar state of being half-awake and half-asleep.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a security room.

Moreover, he was actually wearing a security guard uniform.

On the table in front of them were a walkie-talkie and a thermos.

A text prompt appears in the left eye:

"Reincarnator Jiang Jin, you have entered the [Terror Resurgence] plane."

You need to complete the task: [Ghost Eye Yang Jian's Wish]

Mission objective: One of the biggest regrets in Ghost Eye Yang Jian's life was that he didn't stop a curse from originating from his alma mater, No. 7 Middle School, which later turned into a massive calamity that swept across the entire Dachang City.

Please change history, find the source of the curse, and seal it away.

Your current assigned role is: Security guard at the gate of Dachang No. 7 Middle School.

Upon completion of this task, you will receive the following two rewards:
First, in the future, you will have three chances to summon Ghost Eye Yang Jian in all the horror dungeon trials.
Secondly, obtain one [Coffin Nail], a special item dropped in this instance.

Mission Requirements: You are prohibited from leaving Dachang City during the instance mission; otherwise, you will be eliminated by the sanitation workers.

Sweeping across the entire Dachang City?
Jiang Jin's face couldn't help but turn bitter.

Liu Yan, you really know how to choose a place to escape to!

Jiang Jin then stood up and straightened his security guard uniform.

"Speaking of which... does this instance have the same rules as the [Water Pool Evil Spirit] instance?"

Although he entered a new instance, the cooldown for rule manipulation was calculated entirely based on his own physical time. And it hadn't even been 12 hours since he manipulated the rules and killed Wu Qin and the other person!
He didn't find anything resembling a set of rules in the guardhouse, so he opened the door and went outside to take a look.

Then he saw the electronic screen at the school gate, which was displaying the message "Welcome to the New Semester!"
At the school gate, students continued to file in.

"Oh, so today is the first day of school..."

Jiang Jin watched the students continuously entering the school gate, and then his body froze.

Because he saw a very familiar figure riding a bicycle to the school gate.

When their eyes met, the other person immediately slammed on the brakes and came to a stop.

Jiang Jin and she looked at each other.

At that moment, it was as if time had stood still.
