I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

They are the same two police officers from last time.

Lu Ban opened the door.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The two police officers were clearly wary of Lu Ban opening the door, and subconsciously took a half step back, touching the batons at their waists.

"That's right, we received a complaint from our neighbors saying that you were exposing yourself on the balcony without wearing any clothes."

Police officer He Youwu looked Lu Ban up and down, noting his strong arms, six-pack abs, and V-line.

I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"Uh, sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

Lu Ban thought about it and realized that he was not wearing clothes in order to get more sun exposure, which was indeed somewhat uncivilized in other people's eyes.

I'm a big content creator with over 100,000 followers, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be filmed and uploaded online.

"There have been some bad guys around in this neighborhood lately. Have you encountered any problems?"

Another policeman, Chen Danshen, asked a question and, after obtaining Lu Ban's consent, went into his house.

The two looked around briefly, and He Youwu came to the bathroom door and glanced inside.

Immediately, he noticed that there seemed to be a lot of solidified dark red liquid on the walls, floor, and drain of Lu Ban's bathroom.

This is blood!

He Youwu quickly became alert.

"What's wrong?"

A voice suddenly came from behind, startling He Youwu.

"You...your bathroom is..."

He took a half step back and pointed to the bathroom, which Lu Ban had not yet cleaned up and was covered in bloodstains.

"Oh, I had a lot of nosebleeds earlier, and I haven't had time to clean it up yet."

Lu Ban couldn't very well tell the police that he got a good item in a single pull and ended up bleeding profusely.

"Nosebleed?"

He Youwu looked at Lu Ban suspiciously.

At this moment, Chen Danshen came out of Lu Ban's bedroom and shook her head at He Youwu, indicating that she had not found anything unusual.

He also saw a messy bathroom.

"..."

Chen Danshen didn't say anything, but simply called her companions back to the door.

"If you have any problems, you can come to us, and we will help you."

After leaving Lu Ban's house, the two remained silent until they took the elevator downstairs, returned to the police car, closed the windows, locked the doors, and made sure no one else was around before letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

There's definitely something wrong!

"With that amount of bleeding, a normal person would have been on the verge of death long ago; it couldn't just be a nosebleed!"

"There was a faint smell of blood in his room, which couldn't be from an ordinary wound. At least in the last two days, there had been a lot of blood in his room!"

"He killed someone and then disposed of the body in the bathroom?"

"With so much blood, did they dismember the body and throw it away as wet waste?"

"There have been no reports of missing persons in Jiangcheng recently, so it's possible that the crimes are targeting the migrant population?"

As the two analyzed the landing obstacle, cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

dong dong dong-

At this moment, He Youwu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly heard someone knocking on the car window next to him. He turned his head and saw that it was Lu Ban!

He rolled down the car window, forced a smile, and asked.

"Is there anything else?"

He also checked his equipment; his hat and baton were still there.

"Hey officer, I'm on my way to Jiangcheng Zoo. Could you give me a ride?"

Lu Ban revealed a warm smile, as bright as the sun.

Chapter 061 [A Day of Great Joy]

evening.

七点。

Satisfied after returning from the zoo, Lu Ban had already asked the zoo's whales for an authentic Ocean Brand infrasound recorder, and also bought two Little Pony plush toys as souvenirs, which he planned to give to his old squad leader or Qin Tiantian when he had the chance.

He did not choose to draw the "Madman's Knowledge" a third time because, given his physical condition, acquiring too much knowledge from other realms in a short period of time might actually cause him to collapse.

Rather than giving up halfway through a startup, it's better to honestly rely on existing information to explore.

After resting for a night, Lu Ban chose to complete a mission early the next morning to prevent herself from spending more money on single pulls.

【Big day】

[An auspicious day, a time of great joy]

In the Kingdom of Night, there is a tradition that when newlyweds get married, they need to invite relatives and friends to gather for a moment.

You arrive in the town of Drywater, located on the edge of the Black Forest, to attend your friend's wedding—a trip that should have been enjoyable.

However, beneath the festive music, there seemed to be a hidden unease and restlessness.

[Task Difficulty: Selectable]

[Mission Requirements: Attend the Hai family wedding in Kushui Town and witness the union of the bride and groom]

[Mission Requirement: Survive until the wedding ends]

"Congratulations on your marriage, no matter what!"

[Note: This mission involves changes to the Silent Land area. Please ensure the surrounding area is open and be mindful of your personal safety beforehand.]

"Survive until the end of the wedding?"

Lu Ban discerned some flavor.

This means that the wedding will definitely not end so simply, and there is a high possibility that unexpected changes will occur along the way.

"Furthermore, witnessing the union of the bride and groom—does that mean being a bystander in their bridal chamber? Is that really acceptable?"

Lu Ban became interested.

At the same time, he noticed that the difficulty level could be selected by the user.

It's not much different from the last time; it still consists of three difficulty levels: [Mortal], [Pollution], and [Erosion]. However, there's an additional grayed-out, unselectable difficulty level: [Alienation].

Lu Ban checked the unlock conditions and found that he needed to accumulate 50,000 Silent Points, which was the same as the unlock conditions for the higher-level [Silent Department Store].

"Going further on, are there any more challenging levels like the J-11, Zero, or Desperate Situation?"

Lu Ban felt that the [Erosion] difficulty was already very difficult. If he went any higher, wouldn't he have to face some great being from another realm?

"Oh, I've already faced it head-on, so it's alright now."

Lu Ban did a simple elementary school math problem.

On the [Mortal] difficulty level, the difficulty reward multiplier is x1, meaning you get exactly what you're owed. The base reward for this mission is 2000 Silent Points.

The difficulty of [Contamination] is doubled, and the base reward is 2400 Silent Points.

【Erosion】is a 3x difficulty bonus, with a base reward of 3000 Silent Points.

In other words, without considering the mission exploration progress, the [Mortal] difficulty mission will only yield 2000 Silent Points, while the [Erosion] difficulty mission will yield 9000 points, a difference of more than four times.

Even if the exploration progress of the [Mortal] difficulty mission is extremely high, reaching amazing or even higher, Lu Ban would probably only get a little over three thousand points at most, given the low difficulty multiplier. On the [Erosion] difficulty, as long as he completes it in a mediocre way, that is, completes two mission objectives, he can be guaranteed at least nine thousand points.

It's obvious that you should choose the [Erosion] difficulty!

Lu Ban was proud of his rationality.

Needless to say, Lu Ban now not only needs to complete the mission, but also needs more exciting experiences to produce videos and collect materials to strengthen his "last words".

If you choose the "Mortal" difficulty, you'll just be attending a wedding and having a feast. You might encounter some minor disturbances or ghosts along the way, which won't satisfy the audience, nor will it satisfy Lu Ban's desire to encounter those evil religious figures and demand idols from them.

Having made his decision, Lu Ban didn't rush to choose.

Anyway, he has money and investments now, so he doesn't need to rush to work.

Humans are such creatures; once their desires are satisfied, they will think about slacking off. Slacking off is a human instinct. Even the famous slacking-off streamer Qin Tiantian said that he would slack off as long as he could.

He whiled away two days buying simple wilderness survival tools and compressed rations. On the evening of the fifth day, he finally picked up his crowbar, took his suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), and opened the mission panel.

Lu Ban chose the [Erosion] difficulty level.

The red cloth suddenly expanded, and a soft murmur sounded in Lu Ban's ear.

Like whispers in a boudoir at night, or the murmurs of a dying person, it is plaintive and poignant.

On the red cloth, ink-black characters emerged.

[Enter the Silent Land?]

【whether】

Lu Ban lightly tapped "Yes".

The cloth suddenly spread and enveloped Lu Ban's body. The soft murmurs in his ears suddenly became noisy and clamorous, with a kind of resentful emphasis, chattering incessantly.

He listened carefully, catching only cold, fragmented words.

The flow of time in the Silent Land is different from that in the outside world.

The time ratio for this trip is 5:1.

Number of companions: 1
