In a spacious and luxurious office, Li Dongze lazily leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of wine in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand, feeling relaxed. Just now, he reported to his immediate superior about recruiting Night Wanderer. Li Dongze knew that the young centurion, who was new to the job, was eager to make achievements and cultivate his own faction. A Night Wanderer with a clean background was like a godsend to the centurion with a prominent family background. Sure enough, the young superior expressed high appreciation for him and promised to give him a great credit. In the system of the White Tiger Army, military merit outweighed everything.
"Bang!" The glass door of the office was rudely pushed open, and Guan Ya, wearing high heels, rushed in. Li Dongze frowned slightly. He took a sip of wine calmly and criticized, "Guan Ya, you're not very elegant like this..."
"Captain, this guy entered the trial Spirit Realm at the She Ling Tunnel!" Guan Ya got straight to the point.
"Bang! Oh my God, you stupid idiot, you've done a great job." Li Dongze became a jet fighter in an instant. He didn't care about wiping off the wine, stood up and shouted in a sharp voice, "She Ling Tunnel?! You're going to hell, you idiot!"
He picked up his cane and rushed out, running to the office area. He saw the newly arrived Night Wanderer, who was staring blankly at the computer. Sensing Li Dongze's arrival, Zhang Yuanqing frowned and asked, "Captain, do I still have a chance to be saved?"
He was afraid that the other party would blurt out, "No, you're doomed, wait to die, and cancel the contract!"
Li Dongze silently looked at him. His expression was like that of a man who had finally pursued his beloved girl with great difficulty, only to find out that she was his long-lost sister. Facing the expectant eyes of the new employee, Li Dongze took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The trial Spirit Realm is the first solo copy for every Spirit Realm traveler. The most troublesome part of it is that no one can help you in the solo copy. This is the test of the Spirit Realm for you, and this is the price you must bear to obtain supernatural powers."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded heavily with a heavy heart.
Li Dongze continued, "I will report this matter for you. I hope there is information and strategy advice about She Ling Tunnel in the higher-level database, otherwise no one can save you. Go back and wait for the news. I will inform you immediately when there is any result."
Although he was not a Night Wanderer, as a senior Spirit Realm traveler, he had heard of the notorious reputation of She Ling Tunnel. So far, among the official records of the organization, no one has been able to pass the She Ling Tunnel, and no one has achieved the "first kill" in this copy.
"Okay, thank you, Captain." Zhang Yuanqing nodded stiffly.
Li Dongze added, "Write down your experience in She Ling Tunnel in detail."
......
After arranging a special car to send Zhang Yuanqing away, Guan Ya returned to her own desk, took out a sticky note with the Aquarius watermark from the drawer, unscrewed the cap with the Virgo pattern. Everything on the table, including the computer, notebook, desktop, and water cup...had various constellations printed or pasted on them. It can be seen that she was a senior astrology enthusiast.
Guan Ya wrote on the sticky note: "Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Scorpio male, constellation attributes: insidious, vengeful, sexually strong."
"Note: highly likely to be seduced by female members of other organizations."
After finishing writing, the mixed-race beauty sighed lightly, tore off the sticky note, and pasted it in the personnel record of the second team. She had made evaluations and notes for every team leader, including those who resigned or died in the Spirit Realm.
"Hey, Wang Tai, does that guy have any hope of passing?" Guan Ya raised her head and shouted to the next door.Wang Tai with messy hair raised his head and said, "The Taiyi Sect may have detailed information on the She Ling Tunnel, but it's probably useless. Otherwise, the Taiyi Sect would have arranged for the Night Traveling God to pass through the tunnel already. There should be good rewards in an S-level trial mission."
Guan Ya frowned.
Wang Tai continued, "If we can find a few items for him, there may be hope for him to pass through the tunnel. But you know, the functions of the items are varied, and our understanding of the She Ling Tunnel is limited. We can't give targeted solutions with the items, and the end result is probably losing both money and people."
"Nonsense!" Guan Ya rolled her eyes.
The items themselves are extremely precious and rare. For a transcendent stage Night Traveling God, having one item is already very good.
And unowned items can only be obtained through two ways: entering the Ling Realm to find them, or killing Night Traveling Gods in reality to snatch their treasures. Only items that are not in the item bar can be taken.
Both of these are clearly unrealistic.
The most important thing is that without knowing the specific situation of the She Ling Tunnel, who knows which type of item can help him pass through? If he dies in the Ling Realm, the item will be automatically retrieved by the Ling Realm, resulting in huge losses.
Wang Tai typed on the keyboard and opened a series of data. After staring at it for a long time, he muttered, "The Qingming Festival has just passed, which happens to be the time when the She Ling Tunnel opens every year. Is this guy too unlucky?"
In the office, Li Dongze opened a chat software and typed in the information: "Captain Fu Bai, I need to report something related to the new Night Traveling God we just recruited. His trial Ling Realm is the She Ling Tunnel, which is known as the new player bug Ling Realm for Night Traveling Gods.
"The She Ling Tunnel first appeared during the tunnel construction period in the last century. There was a construction team that mistakenly entered it and died in the Ling Realm. Afterwards, the authorities found a survivor. And that survivor was transported back to the Ling Realm after thirty-six hours.
"Yes, the trial mission of the She Ling Tunnel is divided into two stages, which is different from the one-time trial missions of other professions and Ling Realms."
"I'm sorry, I was surprised and my mind was clouded by inertia. When I saw him return to reality from the trial Ling Realm, I subconsciously thought he had passed the trial.
"I know that the Taiyi Sect has the most abundant and comprehensive Night Traveling God Ling Realm information in their database, and the Sect Master is the strongest Night Traveling God in the world. Perhaps the Taiyi Sect will have information related to the She Ling Tunnel.
"If Captain Fu Bai can intervene, the Taiyi Sect may give some help.
"Not abandoning or giving up on comrades is the principle of the White Tiger soldiers. Since he has already joined, I cannot easily give up. I hope Captain Fu Bai can help."
After editing the information, Li Dongze looked at it repeatedly to confirm that it was correct before clicking send.
He held the wine glass and stared at the screen, sighing.
...
Zhang Yuanqing returned home with a heavy heart, entered the password, and opened the anti-theft door.
In the living room, his grandmother was dragging a clean and bright floor, and a middle-aged man in a black jacket was sitting at the dining table. He had handsome features, black hair, and deep wrinkles between his eyebrows and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, all of which precipitated the vicissitudes of life.
From his appearance, there was no doubt that he was a very charming old man, probably very popular among mature women and some men who are obsessed with younger girls.
But this middle-aged man was not Zhang Yuanqing's uncle, but his cousin.
Cousin swallowed the hot porridge and looked at Zhang Yuanqing. "Grandma told me you looked for me last night?"
He looked serious, not smiling, like a young version of his grandfather.Zhang Yuanqing opened his mouth and shook his head. "It's nothing." The problem from yesterday had already been solved, and his cousin couldn't help with the new obstacle, so there was no need to mention it. Besides, he had signed a confidentiality agreement.
His cousin glanced at him and calmly drank his porridge, saying, "It's about Lei Yibing, isn't it? I heard that Li Dongze visited him personally yesterday. That means his case is unusual. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to help."
So his cousin had already investigated beforehand! Zhang Yuanqing made a sound of agreement.
Seeing that he wasn't in high spirits, Chen Yuanjun stopped talking and assumed his younger cousin was worried about Lei Yibing.
At this moment, Jiang Yu'er, wearing cute bear pajamas, walked out of her room, holding a stack of face masks. "Here, these are wrinkle-reducing and anti-aging. Use them once in the morning and once at night, and the effect should be good. Your grandmother really wanted me to buy them for you."
His cousin's face darkened, and he wrinkled his forehead. "Little aunt, I don't need these."
His aunt shrugged indifferently. "Suit yourself."
Their grandmother, who was mopping the floor, glared at her grandson and said, "If you don't need face masks, then you need me to iron out all the wrinkles on your face with a hot iron?"
Due to her unreliable son, the grandmother had given up on him and focused on raising her two grandchildren. Currently, her grandson had been accepted to Songhai University and her granddaughter worked in the Security Bureau, both having a bright future.
However, the grandmother had always been worried that her grandson was too mature and serious for his age, with a face that looked forty at thirty years old.
Two years ago, an old friend of her late husband came to visit Songhai and was surprised to see Chen Yuanjun, exclaiming, "I didn't know you had another son." Chen Yuanjun hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is my grandson."
The old friend was straightforward and blurted out, "Your grandson looks pretty rebellious..."
Their decades-long friendship was almost ruined in an instant.
Chen Yuanjun reluctantly took the face masks and put them in his pocket, saying, "Alright, grandmother, don't nag me. I still have to work. I'm busy with a missing person case lately."
A missing person case? Zhang Yuanqing immediately became sensitive and asked, "What's the situation?"
Chen Yuanjun chewed on a piece of pickled vegetables and said, "Two people disappeared in the Shelin Tunnel, and they still haven't been found. We checked the surveillance footage, but we didn't see them enter the tunnel..."
His cousin suddenly stopped and warned, "Don't spread this around."
He had signed a confidentiality agreement.
The grandmother suddenly became curious and said mysteriously, "Is it another ghost story? Hey, why hasn't that place been blocked off yet? Every year, some people disappear in that tunnel."
His aunt perked up and listened with a gossipy expression.
"Grandmother, don't ask about it."
Could it be that they were like me and accidentally wandered into the Mountain God's Temple? Damn, those two unlucky guys... Zhang Yuanqing felt both sympathetic and comforted by the fact that he wasn't the only unlucky one.
He had a deeper understanding of the Ling Realm now. Li Dongze had said that the Ling Realm had always existed, and perhaps some of the missing people each year had disappeared into the Ling Realm.
...
In the capital city, there was a courtyard house. The large pagoda tree in the courtyard was lush and green, like a big green umbrella. An old man with white hair lay on a rocking chair under the tree, wearing a white undershirt and large shorts, holding a fan and dozing off.
The old man's face was thin, with a mole on his forehead that exuded an indescribable air of nobility.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, scattering spots of light on the ground. Faint laughter from children could be heard coming from the pagoda tree."Sun Zhanglao, Fu family's kid sent you an email." A middle-aged man in black walked over the threshold and into the courtyard.
Whether it was the Five Elements Alliance or the Taiyi Sect, anyone who became an elder was a well-known spiritual realm practitioner.
"Fu Qingyang?" The old man chuckled, not opening his eyes, and tapped his fan a few times. "What's the matter?"
"He recruited a night wandering god under him in Songhai City, and the trial spiritual realm is the She Ling Tunnel. He wants to ask you for some information related to the tunnel. Also, he hopes you can give some advice." The middle-aged man relayed the contents of the email.
The old man paused his fan for a moment and then realized, "It's just after Qingming Festival. It's just the time when the She Ling Tunnel opens. Recently, many people will be lucky enough to get the Night Wandering God character card, but unfortunately, no one can pass the She Ling Tunnel."
"You can give him the information. Anyway, the gate has given up on attacking the She Ling Tunnel, and the confidentiality level of the relevant information has dropped. By the way, tell Fu that the place itself is an S-level trial spiritual realm, and there have been some twists and turns in the middle, making it even more difficult. It has long been out of the scope of the trial spiritual realm."
"My advice is to give up on that Night Wandering God. It's not worth investing in someone who is doomed to die."
The middle-aged man nodded lightly. As a steward in the Taiyi Sect, he knew well the strangeness and ominousness of the She Ling Tunnel in Songhai.
S-level trial spiritual realms are already the most difficult spiritual realms for beginners, and the She Ling Tunnel is even more peculiar than ordinary S-level spiritual realms.
Each S-level trial spiritual realm must contain something unusual, either rare props or some important information, which is of great value.
In order to crack the She Ling Tunnel spiritual realm, the Taiyi Sect specially dispatched two level-one Night Wandering Gods to stay in Songhai for a long time, because the S-level beginner trial spiritual realm occasionally opens to level-one spiritual realm practitioners of that profession.
After waiting for several months, the two level-one Night Wandering Gods successfully received the task of the She Ling Tunnel.
But the result was that one Night Wandering God had no news after entering the spiritual realm, and the other Night Wandering God successfully completed the first task but died in the second task.

And both of these Night Wandering Gods had props with them.
Since then, the elders of the Taiyi Sect have reassessed the She Ling Tunnel spiritual realm and completely abandoned the idea of attacking it.
"If someone can pass the She Ling Tunnel and obtain the information inside, it would also resolve our Taiyi Sect's concerns." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
The old man did not comment and slowly said, "In a few days, the Sect Master will summon all the Night Wandering Gods to Beijing for a meeting. There is something important to announce. Prepare yourself and call back all your subordinates."
After speaking, he waved his fan and dismissed the middle-aged man.
