Arrival

Everything before my eyes blurred.

Then, it shifted.

The Hong Kong Ghost World of An Eternal Combat had been reached.

What came into view was the protective light barrier of the Main God, along with five men and three women lying in the corner.

--[Main Mission: Survive in the Hong Kong Ghost World for 7 days and kill the Fusang Ghost King.

Upon completion, the entire team will return and receive one B-rank side quest and 4000 reward points.]

The arrival was announced.

Simultaneously, several semi-new Reincarnators who had already experienced one trial cast their gazes over. They knew clearly that, barring any accidents, a Ghost King-level entity could only be fought by the captain...

Previously, when undergoing personal enhancements, they had either underestimated it too much or were overly optimistic.

After all, movies are limited by cinematography techniques, and it is indeed difficult to convince a group of foreigners regarding their expressive power.

Regarding this, Fang Xiu expressed his understanding.

But while the Ghost King was indeed powerful, there was no need to overestimate it infinitely—the reason for opening the space-time gate and causing fluctuations spanning hundreds of years was not just related to power; it was directly linked to celestial phenomena and formations.

At the very least, Fang Xiu, who possessed a simplified Sage Body and a Mangekyō Sharingan, had the confidence to go head-to-head with the Ghost King.

--Compared to the Xenomorph instance dungeon at the same stage as the ancestor first generation, the current situation of the Shazhou Team was much better...

--Besides, this time, including the few pure newcomers, we only have thirteen people. The difficulty should still be in the team-building benefit period, even if we only caught the tail end of it.

As these thoughts turned, Fang Xiu nodded at the few, signaling them to be at ease, then shifted his gaze toward the newcomers waking up one after another: two white men, one a young lad with acne, the other feeling like a boxer with streamlined muscles and a championship belt on his waistband.

As for the two black men, both looked somewhat timid and cowering; they likely came from the bottom of society.

In addition, there were members with Asian faces.

One man and two women, dressed as white-collar workers, with East Asian features.

And another Arab woman, covered in robes with only her eyes exposed.

The power of the Sharingan to see through meridians quietly unfolded.

In Fang Xiu's estimation, this group of newcomers couldn't cause him any harm even if they banded together, but he needed to categorize their aptitude in advance.

Perhaps someone had extraordinary talent? The Shazhou Team was very short on talent.

One had to know that if two more people who had opened the Gene Lock appeared, they would have to enter the team battle distribution pool and be forced to start the "raising poisonous insects" mode!

And within his perception, the one with the most powerful life force... was undoubtedly that white boxer, but the one with the best brain mental power was a female white-collar worker, whose relevant attributes were likely about 70% higher than the average level of a normal human.

To have such a large advantage in a pure, natural state without any enhancements could indeed be called extraordinary talent!

Fang Xiu took note of this in his mind.

At the same time.

Ye Mei calmly surveyed her surroundings and discovered that the man wearing ancient armor with special runes marked on his back was gradually being surrounded by other cosplayers in strange attire.

She immediately realized in her heart that the other party was the leader of this mysterious group.

Moreover, the clothes of this group did not look like cheap, low-quality goods; whether it was the color of the metal on them or those trans-era elements, they were far more realistic than science fiction movies.

And in Fang Xiu's view, this batch of newcomers was the same as always; not one of them made a scene on the spot.

Upon realizing they had arrived in an unfamiliar environment, they calmed down instantly, observed their surroundings carefully, and did what normal people should do.

"Everyone."

"Welcome to the Infinite Reincarnation World. This is the Shazhou Team, and this world... Hong Kong Ghost, is a collection of various horror-themed movies from Hong Kong, with An Eternal Combat as the main one."

For the sake of five hundred reward points, Fang Xiu still introduced them earnestly, just like the first time: "You can recall your own memories and call out the name of the Main God." Silence.

Waiting.

"Alright, I'm glad... sorry, I still can't lie to myself. I should say I'm honored to become a member of the Shazhou... Reincarnation Team."

The first to speak to Fang Xiu was the white boxer, who clearly saw Fang Xiu's leadership position in this team. "I am John, a professional wrestler from America, and also an actor."

At the same time, he looked at Tang Tian without concealment.

There was no help for it; the birthplace of Marvel heroes was America, and Spider-Man had always been a high-popularity character.

A month ago, the corporate slave Tang Tian would probably only have been able to catch a glimpse of this level of athlete on television or in a documentary.

But now—

"As the captain of the Shazhou Team, I look forward to everyone joining, but it is a pity that you need to wait until we return to be called official members."

"Now, let's get to the point."

"I think everyone already has a basic understanding of their situation.

The world we are currently in is full of danger, and for those of you who are still in the category of ordinary humans, the first thing you should do after the protective barrier disappears is—go to a temple, Taoist temple, or church to hide."

As he spoke, he fished a few gold bars of modest size from his bosom. "With incense money to pave the way, you will certainly be able to find a place to stay and leave everything to the arrangement of fate."

Upon hearing this, the newcomers, who had just been selected and mostly hadn't even had time to introduce themselves, all revealed looks of surprise.

Only those members who had experienced the Xenomorph world with Fang Xiu had long since prepared themselves mentally, standing coldly to the side and watching.

"Seniors, do you not intend to provide even the most basic protection?" someone questioned loudly.

"Veterans are not babysitters."

Emir, who had strengthened his werewolf bloodline and radiated an oppressive aura just by standing there, immediately responded in a deep voice: "No one will return until the main mission is completed. You few should take a good look at yourselves—can you kill the Ghost King? Even we cannot do it; only..."

The narration was interrupted.

"I am the captain. While I enjoy certain powers, I naturally bear certain responsibilities, but that is limited to helping complete the main mission and dealing with the greatest threats as much as possible, since these are things beyond everyone's capabilities."

At this moment, Fang Xiu, who had taken back the conversation, spoke the final part: "As for the risks, everyone is bearing them."

"You are responsible for survival."

"I am responsible for the Ghost King."

Glancing toward Tang Tian and the others, he added, "While they are responsible for survival, they will explore side quests according to their individual needs and abilities."

The wind began to stir.

The protective barrier vanished without a sound.

At that very instant, a pattern distinct from the Three-Tomoe appeared in Fang Xiu's pupils.

Yin Release chakra swirled and spread stealthily in all directions...

In the Naruto World, the Second Hokage Tobirama once utilized powerful sensory ninjutsu while breaking through the encirclement of the Gold and Silver Brothers to easily determine the enemy's numbers, distance, and strength, creating an opportunity for his subordinates to escape their predicament.

Now, after special training, Fang Xiu could also achieve a similar level by utilizing a small amount of Yin Release ocular power.

However, in the field of reconnaissance, it still could not compare to the Byakugan. In almost an instant, a relatively simple topographical map appeared in his cognition—within the entire building, there were several negative energy entities. They were very weak, special polymers formed by a small amount of Yin Release power mixed with resentment and unwillingness.

The world calls them ghosts! The company has suddenly become busy, and I have to work overtime at night.

I will strive to update the next chapter before ten o'clock to get into the main theme, and I will stay up late tonight to stockpile another chapter.
