Just as everyone was about to welcome Zhou Ming's return, Zhou Ming did something that surprised everyone.
"I choose…Continue exploring!"
Zhou Ming's answer stunned the adventurers.
Why should he continue exploring? They had already succeeded in clearing the place. They only needed to wait for the staff to arrive before they could leave this damn place. But why did Zhou Ming stay and continue exploring?
"Uh... I don't really understand the Almighty's train of thought…However, even if he continued to stay and explore, there seemed to be no benefits, right? There was no need to do that for the bonus exploration rewards, right?”
"That's right! The ghost story had already been eliminated…Why did he continue to stay? If they continued to explore, they might lose their lives because of this!”
" We've already cleared the level. Who knows what kind of reaction Hillghost will have when he sees Zhou Ming return…"
"God! I support you! There were very few existences who could clear a large-scale nomological ghost story world! The Almighty must have his reasons for doing so. I support the Almighty's decision!”
Even though the adventurers were rather puzzled by Zhou Ming's actions, everyone still chose to believe him. After all, there were too many things hidden in the Great Kui Mountain…If he could completely eliminate the ghost stories of Great Kui Mountain…Then, the contaminated area and the surrounding resources would be guaranteed.
Xu Changqing and the others, who had originally planned to return to the guild to rest, had heard Zhou Ming's words…He led the two members of the analysis team to sit down in the first row with a helpless expression.
Although everyone felt helpless about Zhou Ming's decision, they were helpless.
Of course.
Continuing to explore was not without benefits.
In the personnel on duty handbook that Zhou Ming had obtained, it had already explained that the truth behind the Great Kui Mountain was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Moreover…
Every world that polluted the real world was related to the lives of the people in the city and the interests of the entire Great Xia.
Because in this strange world.
The more the raider learned about the truth…In this way, the adventurers and ordinary people in the real world would be able to obtain greater benefits. For example, the probability of strange occurrences in the area where adventurers and citizens were located would be reduced, and they would be in a relatively safe area.
The officials and adventurers would have more initiative and intelligence.
It was also more beneficial to Zhou Ming.
The attribute reward for clearing the foggy world…Searching for the relics of the gods and ghosts he had obtained…Wait a minute, the more he deciphered and explored, the greater the feedback he received.
Zhou Ming believed that this was the same for him.
Since you have chosen to continue exploring the Great Kui Mountain,
After Zhou Ming decided to continue exploring,
Your identity has been changed. You are now a member of the Special Operations Team.
[Due to the change of identity, you have received the blessing of the Mountain God. Blessing effect: Stamina 5, Intelligence 5, Maximum HP (endurance) 5.
[Current Mission: Discovering the truth behind the Great Kui Mountain. Please awaken the Mountain God after the truth is revealed.]
A warm current reverberated in Zhou Ming's body, which surprised him.
The increase in physical strength and intelligence was immediately reflected in Zhou Ming's body. Zhou Ming's body, which looked a little thin because he worked in the office building all year round, actually became stronger at this moment.
With the increase in intelligence, Zhou Ming's thinking became more agile.
When Zhou Ming chose to continue exploring, the staff's attitude towards him changed silently.
"Mr. Tang."
The officer on duty was dressed in armor and appeared in Zhou Ming's line of sight.
"We are very happy that they will send people to investigate this matter. Here is some information we have collected previously. I hope it will be of some help to your operation.”
It was as if he was affected by the laws of the foggy world.
The staff and the staff on duty didn't seem to be surprised by Zhou Ming. After seeing Zhou Ming, they even smiled. The staff on duty received Zhou Ming and took out a diary from his pocket. He began to tell Zhou Ming some secrets.
"Sir, do you still remember the Dragon Cave I told you about before?”
Zhou Ming quickly adapted to the change in his identity and began to listen to the on-duty personnel reveal the truth.
Two years ago.
A wealthy businessman had taken a fancy to this scenic mountain forest and saw the commercial value of this place at a glance. This place was contracted and developed as a scenic area.
As time passed, this place became popular among tourists, and many tourists would come here because of its reputation.
but... It was unknown when, but after some tourists entered the Dragon's mouth cave, they never appeared again…They had all entered the Dragon's Cave and mysteriously disappeared.
From then on, the special operation team was established.
Great Kui Mountain was also sealed off because of this and was no longer open to the public.
Zhou Ming looked at the old diary in his hand.
Strange Investigation Diary
He did not know when this world started…Strange changes began to happen one after another…
Zhou Ming flipped through the diary.
Investigation Diary, Dakui Mountain
In order to investigate the disappearance of the tourists from Great Kui Mountain, we sent our most experienced agents…Ever since those two times…After the events in the Hidden Territory and the East Ocean Island, the world had undergone tremendous changes.
The world had changed.
When Zhou Ming saw this…His pupils contracted slightly.
Zhou Ming flipped to the next page.
Operation code name-Great Kui Mountain.
Executive Agent-Grade B Agent.
Code name-K.
I'm K. My current identity is an ordinary staff member on duty at the Great Kui Mountain Scenic Area. It has been a few months since I entered this scenic area.
Ever since I entered this scenic area, my main job was to head to the starting point of the Great Kui Mountain's mountain path with my companions every hour to check the signs and ensure that no new tourists would appear.
Our main responsibility is to persuade tourists to leave the starting point of the hiking trail.
This place was very strange.
For this reason, I launched a series of investigations.
This place was announced to the outside world that the mountain had been sealed off, but there were still a large number of tourists coming to visit every day. I quietly hid here, unable to find a way.
Until I found a strange employee handbook.
The mission this time was definitely not that simple!
The rules in the employee handbook were beyond my expectations…The danger was almost comparable to the distortion of the rules in the zoo and that academy.
First of all.
When carrying out a mission, the personnel on duty needed two people to travel together.
All employees were prohibited from crossing the yellow cordon for unknown reasons.
We can only stop those tourists who have not yet stepped into the hiking trail. Once the tourists enter the yellow cordon, the tourists will not be under our management, and we are strictly prohibited from stopping the tourists.
The strange rules of the employees attracted our attention. For the sake of my work and the trust of the organization, I need to investigate the truth of the Great Kui Mountain.
Zhou Ming continued reading the diary in his hand.
The special operations team member who claimed to be codenamed K also wrote.
Not long ago, an employee violated the employee handbook for some unknown reason. He was forced to take him to the Mountain God Temple. It was said that he was baptized by the Mountain God there, but I haven't seen him since.
That employee handbook was very strange.
Other than that, I also saw many strange rules. For example, once a tourist enters the hiking trail, we have to go to the Mountain God Temple every day for inspection.
If the visitor reaches the summit within 72 hours, then we need to take them outside the hiking trail and ask them about everything that happened.
If the tourists reach the summit after 72 hours, we must evacuate them in time and prepare for battle at the outermost perimeter.
If the visitor did not appear again within seven days, they would be registered as a missing person.
This reminded me of the reason why I came here. It's because of that mysterious Dragon's Cave. My guess is…Perhaps the answer to the disappearance of the tourists could be found in Longkou Cave. Everything here was too strange.
It was a pity.
I've been on duty here for a long time, but I've never seen a tourist reach the top. Most of the tourists who come here are lost here.
On the last page of the employee handbook, there was a rule that I didn't understand.
If any employee witnessed any of the above incidents or violated any of the employee handbook, they could not turn back within seven days.
In the beginning, things were going very smoothly.
Until…That time, I disguised myself as a tourist and entered the hiking trail. I recorded everything…I met that hotel, and then everything changed.
Under the guidance of the staff, I entered the mysterious hotel. There, I met all the people who were registered and confirmed to be missing.
I can't get out…That is my final destination.
Zhou Ming wanted to see if there was any new information, but the diary stopped there.
He was a little puzzled…However, he felt a little relieved.
Zhou Ming did not see any hotels during the climb. That hotel…It was probably one of the areas that Zhou Ming had yet to explore.
