Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

[Bonus Reward for Completing the Level: 1000 Weird Points]

An illusory and unreal voice echoed in my ears.

Qi Xie slowly opened his eyes.

A three-tiered crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was emitting a soft white light.

Moving your gaze downwards, the light gray marble floor is clean and tidy, and the soft morning light spills into the living room through the wide French windows.

He was sitting on a single leather sofa, just as he had been before entering the dungeon.

"They're out..."

Good morning, Mr. Qi.

The girl's greeting rang out from across the way, and Qi Xie looked over.

Across the coffee table, Bai Yiyi was also in the same spot she had been in before entering the dungeon, sitting on the sofa opposite her.

"morning."

Qi Xie nodded in response, and at the same time stretched lazily, chatting casually:

What were your completion rating and rewards?

"Rank B, the reward for clearing the level is 500 Weird Points."

Bai Yiyi replied without hesitation, but then she gave a wry smile and looked down at her fair hands:

"Didn't do anything, but still got a B-level completion rating..."

In this instance, everyone else had fought against the supernatural beings to varying degrees, and their bodies were covered in blood, paper scraps, and dust. However, because she had almost no combat power, she didn't even get covered in dust.

Of course, it wouldn't be right to say that she made no contribution at all.

If she hadn't seen through the ghost child's trap, she and Wang Shan would most likely have been wiped out by the ghost child before Qi Xie arrived, and then Qi Xie wouldn't have had such a good chance of finding the ghost child.

Due to the butterfly effect of the delay, the severely injured Dior probably won't survive.

It can be said that, apart from Qi Xie and Xue Jiao, she deserves much credit for the other three surviving.

Although, in terms of results, she had done quite well as a novice traveler who had only entered the instance three times.

But this dungeon run deeply touched her heart.

When Qi Xie was being chased by the ghost child, he was unable to arrive immediately and was powerless to the point of near death.

Xuejiao's tragic fate is that she can only embark on a path of no return due to her own lack of ability.

In addition, there's the sense of crisis that Wang Shan described, with the eeriness gradually invading reality.

This made her realize that no matter what, no amount of external force is as reliable as the power she controls herself.

For a moment, Bai Yiyi's expression showed a struggle.

Qi Xie seemed to sense Bai Yiyi's emotions, but he didn't say anything. He simply got up, took off the jade bracelet from his wrist, gently placed it on the table, left, took a shower, changed his clothes, took a stroll outside the villa, and bought a single breakfast at the community's own food shop.

Back at the villa, Bai Yiyi had indeed left, and Qi Xie's [Wanderer System] received a message from her:

"Mr. Qi, thank you very much for protecting me in the previous dungeon, but I have thought it through. I can't get stronger by always relying on external forces. The strange points and resources I have accumulated are enough to add another strange skill to my account. In a normal strange dungeon, I can at least protect myself."

Next time I face a bizarre instance, I will face it alone and try my best to survive.

However, the previous agreement remains valid. I will use my connections and resources to find what you need. You can consider this an investment by me and my family in you, and I hope we will continue to be trustworthy partners.

Qi Xie simply replied with a "Okay".

Although he didn't hear what Wang Shan said, he probably knew more about the strange invasion of reality than most people.

After all, before entering the bizarre instance, he relied on finding these things in the real world to feed the evil god.

The impact of the bizarre on reality is gradually expanding.

He and Bai Yiyi were just cooperating; he couldn't possibly be available whenever she called.

In this increasingly cruel era, if Bai Yiyi only thinks that she can stay safe by relying on his power, she is just burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.

"A clever little girl..."

Qi Xie nodded, putting the matter out of his mind, and relaxed to seriously finish his breakfast.

He bought quite a lot.

A bowl of spicy soup, a bowl of steamed rice noodle rolls, a bowl of sweet tofu pudding, and several drinks.

"Mmm~ Wonderful~~~~ Ah~"

Although his body no longer needed to eat, ever since he became wealthy, he wanted to try everything and ate with great relish.

After all, you're working for the boss, but you're the one who enjoys the food.

Remember to eat well even when you're not working.

"Baiyue's rice noodle rolls are truly a signature dish; the texture is absolutely amazing... I'll try adding some cola."

"This spicy soup smells so good, I've never had it before... I'll add some nutritional drink and try it."

"Hungry......"

As Qi Xie was savoring the food and even thinking of adding some coffee to his tofu pudding, he suddenly heard a faint murmur in his ear.

"Ah, I was so engrossed in the food I almost forgot about this guy..."

Qi Xie took out two tissues, slowly wiped his mouth, got up and closed the French windows, then sorted out the things in the shadows before coming to the spacious living room. He squatted down, his fingertips touching the ground, and skillfully sketched out an eerie summoning totem.

"Great Lord."

I praise you!

"The supreme ruler of all shadows, the unfathomable blood-eyed god, the chaotic touch that entangles the world. Descending in the absence of light, watching from the shadows, extending tentacles from the darkness."

"Your devout family beseeches your gaze!"

gurgle gurgle...

A thick, sticky sound echoed through the empty villa, and the three-tiered chandelier flickered a few times before going out.

Grayish-white, illusory tentacles slowly emerged from the eerie pattern, their blood-red vertical eyes emitting a faint, bloody glow in the dimly lit villa.

"My Lord, Your devout retinue offers you sacrifices."

Qi Xie smiled, one hand on his chest and the other behind his back, bent slightly, and said reverently.

As I said before, if we don't know whether someone is sober or not, we'll assume they are. Just to be on the safe side, we have to maintain appearances.

Snapped--!

Qi Xie snapped his fingers, and the shadow beneath his feet slowly opened its blood-red vertical eyes.

The tentacles were clearly starving, and plunged headlong into the shadows beneath Qi Xie's feet.

Seeing that the evil god was still eating as usual, Qi Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not hand over all his spoils at once, but left behind four dangerous and bizarre materials and two sealed artifacts.

These items can be exchanged for Oddity Points or used by himself; they are very valuable, and he wants to keep them to prepare for purchasing Calamity-level Oddity Materials.

The evil god started eating, and Qi Xie also opened the [Wanderer System] to get down to business—asking Di Ao about the strange material his friend had.

However, as soon as the [Traveler System] was opened, Di'ao's information popped up first.
