Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

Lu slept very soundly.

I dawdled as I got out of bed and went downstairs.

Breakfast was already prepared on the table.

A serving of rice, a serving of grilled mackerel, and a small bowl of miso soup.

Rule Two: [Breakfast]

Breakfast is a set meal, and you must finish it all; you can't leave anything behind, especially that small bowl of miso soup.

Lu ate at a leisurely pace.

During a break from eating, I pulled out my ghost book and began my study for the day, occasionally glancing up at the alluring figures washing and drying clothes in the hotel courtyard.

The widow, wearing only a silk shirt, repeatedly bent over and stood up, her full curves accentuated.

The morning sunlight made the fabric of my body appear semi-transparent.

"That's so sexy."

"They're all T-shaped repositories."

Footsteps approached.

The others also came down to the first floor.

The two people who swapped arms yesterday must have used some method to switch their arms back.

The young master who lost an eye while playing games has grown a new eye, but the glasses don't seem to fit his body perfectly yet, and he always habitually crosses his eyes.

Chen Chen changed into a brightly colored short-sleeved shirt and shorts, wearing a large gold chain and sunglasses.

After taking off his sunglasses, he had a pair of bloodshot eyes, like dark circles under his eyes that looked like he had been punched twice.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lu asked, offering his concern.

"Sleep my ass!"

The chubby boy looked ten years older and much more haggard.

"Last night, there was a total of 12 knocks on the door, the TV turned on by itself 8 times, I heard crying 6 times in the bathroom, and there was someone moaning outside the door all night long. How could I possibly sleep?"

Lu Ye glanced at the others, his face showing even more exhaustion than Chen Chen's.

"Was anything going on in everyone's room last night?"

"It's nothing, I just fought with something that crawled out of the TV all night."

"It's nothing, I just had a little arm wrestling match with a hand that was sticking out of the toilet while I was taking a dump."

"Last night there were people moaning outside the door. I peeked through the peephole and saw the proprietress and her husband doing that to my door."

Lu also started racking his brains.

In a flash, he figured out the key point.

It should be related to the room category on the first day of check-in.

The worse the room you stay in, the more frequently you will be attacked by strange things at night.

"Why are you still reading?"

"I'm studying."

It feels great to have a brain; it's addictive.

A group of people ate breakfast while glancing at Kirishima Yukino hanging clothes to dry in the yard.

I don't really like Japanese breakfast, but everyone endured it and finished it because of the rules.

There are words on the bottom of the bowl!

After finishing the bowl of miso soup, someone found blood-red characters at the bottom of the bowl.

"Little Lucky?"

The thin man read out the words at the bottom of the bowl.

"Mine is Suekichi."

"Ha, I'm Daikichi!"

"Does this represent the level of danger today?"

"It should be related to the level of favorability."

........

"Ugh."

Chen Chen looked at the words at the bottom of his bowl and sighed, with an expression that showed he wasn't surprised at all.

He pulled out a talisman from somewhere, casually stuck it on his forehead, and then disappeared.

Lu Ye had one bite left.

But there's no need to think about it.

What else could the two guys with negative favorability ratings be?

Chen Chen's is [inauspicious].

His is [very unlucky].

"Hehe, it's your turn to be unlucky today, isn't it?" A congratulatory voice came from the side.

Lu Ye snapped his fingers, and two teacups, which had finally been filled with tea, automatically floated over.

One bowl per person.

Chen Chen looked at the glistening red thread wrapped around the teacup and clicked his tongue enviously: "Your ability is really awesome, a lazy person's dream."

Lu Ye rinsed his mouth with the tea in one gulp, then turned and walked out of the hotel.

"Where to?"

"Explore, explore."

The car he had bought earlier was still parked outside the hotel. After getting in the car, Chen Chen climbed into the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

"If you're planning to look for any ghost artifacts or the like outside, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible. It's a waste of time. The most frustrating thing about this A-level dungeon isn't the difficulty, but the lack of ghost artifacts."

"Not a single one?" Lu Ye asked.

"No." Chen Chen nodded. "Whether in the hotel or in the outer world, none of the Ghost Masters who came to challenge us have even found a single low-level Ghost Artifact."

"It's already quite an achievement to encounter four other living people who came to challenge us this time. Why are they all trying to maximize their favorability rating?"

"It's because apart from using high favorability to get the survival reward, there's no other way to make a profit."

Lu also smiled.

With such generous rewards in this dungeon, how come no one has ever obtained a Ghost Weapon?

"You opened it the wrong way. There are ghost artifacts here, and a lot of them."

Otherwise, the "treasure hunting guide" given to him by the Ghost Emperor ancestor wouldn't be flashing in the Hundred Ghosts Bag.

"Where?"

Chen Chen had just finished asking the question when he turned his head.

boom!

A large truck came straight at the Toyota Century flagship and crashed into it head-on, sending it flying hundreds of meters away.

"Damn! Can't you even drive?!"

The two crawled out from a pile of scrap metal that had caught fire and exploded.

Then there was the howling wind overhead.

A solid iron ball, three or four meters in diameter, used on construction sites to blast through walls, whistled down overhead.

Then it was cut into pieces by several strands of red thread.

"Damn it... This is terrible!"

Now I understand everything.

This is a very bad omen.

"The rules in this bizarre instance are connected to the bizarre leader; he probably wants to kill us both," Lu said wisely, like a sage.

"So what do we do now?"

Chen Chen glanced at the Toyota Century, now a pile of scrap metal. He didn't feel bad that the 10,000 coins had gone down the drain.

"Let's walk there."

Lu Ye put his hands into his pockets, and a strange aura surged behind him.

Two armored, ghostly figures, each over four meters tall, materialized, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face.

One of them was carrying two Xuanhua battle axes in one hand.

One of them held a soul-snatching chain in his hand.

"With the two of us here today, you, Master Bao, won't lose a single hair!"

Two iron towers stood on either side of Lu Ye, acting as his protectors. Their large, copper-bell-sized eyes scanned the surroundings, and their axes and chains were poised to strike.

"Wow, he looks so handsome." Chen Chen gave a thumbs up.

He then twirled the gold ring on his thumb.

Two small, protective child spirits, each a few inches tall, suddenly materialized on his shoulders, pulling at his earlobes from either side.

Lu Ye was actually just strolling around at an incredibly slow pace, exploring and discovering.

Low-level eerie dungeons typically have only one fixed location, such as a school or a hospital...

The A-level eerie dungeon has already evolved into a separate space.

As for the higher-ranking S-level bizarre dungeons, they contain a complete world.

The smallest city could be the largest continent.

Last time in [Ghost Marriage: Ten Miles of Red Makeup], he was just a newbie, so he didn't explore much. This time, he can make up for it.

After going around in circles, I discovered...

This A-level dungeon isn't actually as large as you might imagine; it's linearly distributed, and further to the sides are invisible "air walls."

I also took a stroll around the alley where I first fell victim to the honey trap.

During this period, they were attacked repeatedly.

It's not like you're walking along the road when suddenly a truck crashes into you.

Just as you're walking along, a group of people with red eyes surround you and start stabbing you.

Or perhaps the building above your head suddenly collapses, or steel bars suddenly fall from the sky.

Anyway, they were all taken care of with two axe blows from Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

"It's not weird enough."

"What's not weird enough?" Chen Chen asked, a lollipop he had just bought dangling from his mouth.

Lu Ye also had one in his mouth, which he pulled out and pointed around.

"We're supposed to be 'extremely unlucky,' yet all we get are ordinary people and ordinary accidents. Isn't that a bit too ordinary? This is supposed to be an A-level eerie instance, and there aren't any tentacle monsters or slime-covered people to deal with us?"

On the surface, this doesn't seem like a strange dungeon at all.

Except for the moment he bent down to pick up the soup spoon last night.

Chen Chen: "So?"

"So... we're not actually in a bizarre instance right now."

There's nothing eerie or ghostly about it, so what kind of eerie dungeon is this?

If it must be.

That means they're opening the instance incorrectly.

The final step in the exploration.

The two appeared in the cemetery behind the Wilderness Inn.

Lu searched around inside, and finally stood in front of an inconspicuous grave mound, muttered a few words to himself, and then turned and left.

Before returning to the hotel, Chen Chen asked, "What did you say in front of that grave just now?"

Lu smiled slightly, "I told you I might come and dig up his grave these next couple of nights, so I came to let you know in advance."

"Hiss..." Chen Chen's chubby face twitched. "Let me make this clear first, I can't do this."
