Next, everyone changed their clothes, put on the equipment they had carefully prepared, and then set out on the journey to the dungeon.

Under Sandra's guidance, they drove to the vicinity of the palace, hid the car in a secret place, and then sneaked towards the palace on foot.

"Sandra mentioned that there is a small door in the northeast corner of the palace wall. The defense is not tight. We can sneak in from there." Xia Luyao conveyed the plan to the team in a low voice, and everyone nodded in agreement.

The purpose of this operation is to rescue people, so they must be cautious to avoid alerting the enemy.

The group tiptoed to the northeast corner of the wall and found the inconspicuous little door.

"We are here, what should we do next?"

Feiying put away the map and asked Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen looked around and thought for a moment before speaking: "Although there are not many guards here, it is not a good idea to deal with them directly. If we are found to be abnormal during the shift change, we will be in trouble."

"Then what should we do?" Flame asked in a low voice with a frown, obviously looking for a better solution.

Lin Beichen smiled slightly and said lightly: "Just knock them out."

As he spoke, he took out a small transparent glass bottle from his pocket. Inside the bottle were a dozen or so oddly shaped black bugs wriggling.

"Lin Beichen, what kind of insects are in here? I have never seen anything like this." Xia Luyao looked at the glass bottle curiously.

"These are sleepyheads. Once bitten by them, you will fall into a deep sleep and won't be able to wake up for at least seven or eight hours." Lin Beichen explained while pulling out the cork from the bottle.

The bison stared with curiosity at the little bugs flying out of the bottle, "Won't these bugs bite us?" he asked worriedly.

Lin Beichen smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, these bugs are under my control and will not harm us."

Before he finished speaking, the sleepyheads had already flown to the inside of the wall.

"Is it enough to just release the bugs?" Lei Dian asked doubtfully.

Lin Beichen nodded, "Next, we just need to wait for good news."

Not long after, the group of sleepyheads flew back into the glass bottle obediently.

Lin Beichen quickly put away the bottle and said confidently: "Okay, we can go in."

Barney and Christmas looked at each other in disbelief and asked, "That's it? Those guards were really taken care of?"

Lin Beichen turned to look at them and nodded calmly, "Yes, they are now in a deep sleep. Even if you slap them on the face twice, they will not react at all."

After saying that, he took out the tools, easily pried open the small door, and walked in first.

After entering, the group found that there were more than a dozen guards lying in a mess under the wall. They were wearing the same uniform, their eyes were closed, and they were snoring one after another.

"It seems that these guards are sleeping very soundly!" said Feiying jokingly.

This situation does make it easier for them to move around. Even if there are people patrolling or changing shifts, they will only think that the guards are lazy and sleeping, and will not notice that outsiders have sneaked in.

Barney and Christmas were stunned when they saw this scene. "Were these guards really put to sleep by your bugs?" Christmas asked stutteringly.

"What else? Could it be you?" Lin Beichen teased.

Christmas is speechless, it's all too magical to be true.

"Okay, time is running out, we have to go to the dungeon quickly." Xia Luyao reminded.

Everyone quickly followed the route provided by Sandra to the dungeon entrance and hid in the bushes to observe the situation.

"This is the entrance to the dungeon. It's really hidden." Feiying exclaimed.

Lin Beichen looked around and had a plan in mind. "Hurry, take out the paper people on you," he ordered.

Although no one understood his intention, they still did it.

Lin Beichen smiled mysteriously, "You will know later."

He placed the paper figures together and drew strange patterns on the ground with branches.

The members of the Viper Special Forces speculated that this might be some kind of mysterious formation, while Barney and Christmas were completely confused.

"Lin Beichen, what are you doing?" Christmas asked curiously.

"Draw a circle and curse them!" Lin Beichen answered half-jokingly.

Then he took out a black flag and inserted it into the center of the formation. "This is used to attract ghosts," he explained.

Barney and Christmas were stunned. "A ghost? How is that possible?" Christmas exclaimed.

But thinking of the "superpowers" that Lin Beichen had demonstrated before, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The buffalo joked, "You haven't seen the world, have you? There are ghosts in this world!"

Bison was still upset by the two men's ridicule. He retorted: "Who said there are no ghosts in the world? Can you prove it?"

He didn't believe it before, but after meeting Lin Beichen, his concept changed completely.

Santa Claus immediately retorted after hearing this. He was a staunch materialist, "How do you prove this? You say there are ghosts, have you ever seen one? Prove it to me!"

However, before he could finish his words, he turned around and the scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Barney saw him stunned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, man?"

Christmas just pointed forward with trembling hands, but could not say anything.

Barney looked in the direction his finger pointed and his eyes widened in shock.

All the paper figures they made in the afternoon were floating in the air. The strange patterns on the ground emitted blue-black smoke, the blue flames on the black flags burned strangely, and all kinds of strange expressions appeared on the faces of the paper figures.

Barney asked Lin Beichen in horror, "What's going on?"

Lin Beichen smiled and replied: "Isn't this just to prove it to you?"

When Barney asked what he wanted to prove, Lin Beichen said calmly, "It proves that there are ghosts in this world."

Christmas and Barney were speechless. They had just denied the existence of ghosts, but Lin Beichen immediately gave such "proof".

With one last glimmer of hope, Christmas asked, "Is this really a ghost?"

Lin Beichen teased, "How about I ask them to introduce themselves to you?" Santa quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Afterwards, Lin Beichen controlled the paper man to fly into the dungeon, and screams of fear were heard from inside.

After the noise subsided, Lin Beichen suggested going in to take a look.

They walked into the dungeon leisurely. Looking at the guards who fainted from fear along the way, Feiying said with disdain, "How dare they serve as guards with such little courage?"

Lin Beichen explained that these guards were not frightened but were tortured by ghosts.

When explaining the existence of ghosts and how they can hurt people, Lin Beichen mentioned the paper figures they made and confirmed Xia Luyao's guess that the key to the problem indeed lies with those paper figures.

This makes the whole story more mysterious and fascinating.

Lin Beichen agreed with Xia Luyao's guess: "You are indeed very smart, worthy of being the successor of Xuanzhen Temple. You are right, paper figurines are meant to provide a carrier for ghosts in the third dimension so that they can influence the material world."

After hearing this, everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. They understood that after a person dies, the soul leaves the body and cannot directly touch anything in the world, whether it is reincarnated or becomes a vengeful ghost.

Today, the paper figures they make are like customized "bodies" for these ghosts, allowing them to interact with the world as they did when they were alive.

These ghosts are all people who died in this dungeon, and they hold a deep resentment towards the guards here.

Now that he had a "body", the resentment that had been pent up for many years could finally be released and vented towards these guards.

Therefore, the guards were knocked down by these corporeal ghosts and fell to the ground one after another.

Barney and Christmas looked at the people around them and saw that they understood what was going on, but their eyes were still full of confusion.

Chinese culture is too profound for them, and many words are difficult to understand.

But they at least understood one thing: it was the ghosts who used the paper figures to knock down the guards.

The two were extremely surprised. This was the first time they had encountered such a bizarre thing, and it was unbelievable that they were involved in it.

The group chatted as they went deeper into the dungeon.

"Lin Beichen, we better be careful. This dungeon is said to be full of traps."

Raiden reminds that although the guards have been dealt with, the mechanism is still a threat.

Lin Beichen was confident: "Don't worry, there are ghosts ahead to lead the way. If there is any danger, they will warn you in advance."

"Ghost warning?" Christmas asked in astonishment. This was too new to him.

"Yes, these are the ghosts." Lin Beichen explained, "They died here and know the dungeon very well. With them leading the way, we don't have to worry about the traps."

These ghosts have been holding grudges for many years, and now Lin Beichen has created an opportunity for them to come into contact with the outside world and allow them to take revenge on their vengeful enemies. Naturally, they are grateful, so they are leading the way and giving warnings ahead.

Lin Beichen led everyone to move forward. Although there were many traps on the road, with the help of ghosts, they were safe and sound.

Only occasionally you see paper figures falling.

"Why did the paper man fall?" Xia Luyao asked curiously.

"Paper figures are fragile. Once damaged, they can no longer carry ghosts." Lin Beichen explained, just like a human body cannot sustain life after being seriously injured.

Everyone nodded in understanding and moved on.

When they were about to pass through a stone door, Lin Beichen suddenly heard a strange noise and immediately signaled everyone to stop.

"What's wrong?" asked Feiying.

"There's something going on inside." Lin Beichen said solemnly. He heard the warning from the ghost and there seemed to be an ambush inside.

Flame asked doubtfully, "Didn't they say there were ghosts exploring the way?"

"It was the ghost who told us that there was an ambush inside." Lin Beichen explained.

Christmas looked confused: "Why didn't I hear anything?"

"Just because you didn't hear it doesn't mean Lin Beichen didn't hear it." Wild Bull retorted, "Lin Beichen can summon ghosts, can you?"

Christmas was speechless and could only listen quietly to Lin Beichen's arrangements.

Lin Beichen decided to split his troops into two groups, one to ambush and the other to lure the enemy.

Everyone nodded in agreement and acted according to the plan.

With the help of ghosts, they are ready to meet unknown challenges and continue to search for Long Chuzhi's whereabouts.

Those ghosts were so considerate that they even marked the locations of the switches clearly for us.

Lin Beichen stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the stone door slowly turned around the axis, revealing two passages.

We walked in carefully, looking around warily.

The stone chamber was dark, with only two dim lights flickering in the corners, illuminating a very limited area.

The entire space is immersed in haze, and only the outline of the room can be vaguely discerned.

We moved forward step by step, concentrating and holding our breath, paying close attention to everything around us.

When we all stepped into the stone chamber, a row of lights suddenly lit up, and the entire room instantly became as bright as day.

However, what followed was the sound of the stone door slamming shut.

We looked back and saw that the stone door was tightly closed and we were trapped in this stone chamber.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from deep inside the room.

"I told you long ago that their target is the dungeon. Do you believe it now?"

The sound made us all turn our heads, and we saw a group of people slowly walking out from the other side of the room.

Leading the group were two conspicuous figures, one of whom was a chubby middle-aged man wearing a dark green uniform. His signature mustache was particularly eye-catching.

The other looked much younger, perhaps in his thirties or forties, with an upright figure, three-dimensional features, and neatly combed dark chestnut hair.

Faced with this sudden situation, we did not panic.

Because Lin Beichen had already reminded us that there might be an ambush here.

However, Xia Luyao pretended to be panicked and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The slender man chuckled and said to the middle-aged man next to him, "Garza, look, these people broke into your territory late at night and asked who you are. Don't you think you should introduce yourself?"

After hearing this, we understood that the fat man was the island owner Garza, and the man next to him should be Monroe.

We exchanged glances calmly. It seemed that their previous relaxation of vigilance was all an illusion, with the purpose of luring us into the trap.

"It seems like you guys are deliberately letting us down so that you can catch us all here!"

Lin Beichen said with a smile.

I had thought that the news Sandra sent back was a little strange, and now it seems that my worries were not unnecessary.

Monroe smiled nonchalantly: "Yes, your reaction is not slow. But I didn't expect you to get here so quickly."

They originally thought that the dungeon's guards and traps were enough to stop any intruders, but they didn't expect that we could not only get here, but also quickly knock down all the guards. This is really unbelievable.

"There are many things you haven't expected." Lin Beichen said with a chuckle.

"Oh? For example?" Monroe asked with a raised eyebrow.

Although he was curious about how we would overcome all the difficulties, he was confident that we were in a desperate situation.

"For example, you now have a dark aura on your face and a fierce look in your eyes. This is a very bad omen! I'm afraid you won't live long." Lin Beichen said calmly.

Monroe was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What omen of bad luck? Don't scare me with these messed up things!"

He obviously didn't believe what Lin Beichen said. (End of this chapter)
