Lu Li opened the dungeon lottery, and five cards appeared in front of Lu Li.

The first picture is three Matchstick, titled "Matchstick Miss's Fireball Staff." The second picture is a pair of rabbit fur stockings, titled "Alice's Dream Rabbit Stockings." The third picture is a pair of crystal-clear Glass Slipper, titled "Cinderella's Transformation Item." The fourth picture is a constantly beating heart, titled "Wendigo's Living Heart." The fifth picture is a large iron ball, Kra Iron Ball.

Click to draw, and the five cards were flipped over and shuffled. Lu Li casually clicked on one, pondered for a moment, then put it away and returned to reality to get down to business.

This temporary base needed to be destroyed, otherwise, if it were found, some information would be leaked. After packing up some things and putting them into the Dreamlands, Lu Li realized something.

His true form was unable to leave the Dreamlands, or rather, this world was rejecting Lu Li's true form. Not only that, even Dark River, whose strength had been enhanced in the instance world, had an additional restriction.

Dark River's restored strength in the dungeon world was as if it had been sealed away, causing Dark River to revert to a small ball of pitch-black mist. His voice had become soft and sweet again, though it was slightly better than before, as he could still temporarily conjure a body of black mist by the river.

"Have I already started to be restricted?" Lu Li had a sudden realization: as his strength grows, not only his main body, but even his Avatar will probably no longer be allowed to appear in this world. The stronger he becomes, the stronger the restrictions will be.

"But before that, I should first make some adjustments to this clone of mine." Lu Li thought to himself. Although his current clone looked like a human, it was actually just a black shadow covered with a layer of human skin.

If they were just ordinary people, they wouldn't be able to discover Lu Li's true form. However, once they were outside, the Countermeasure Bureau's strength wouldn't be like that of Leping City. Their monitoring of supernatural forces would be extremely close.

It was alright in Laughing City Town, but once he arrived in a big city, Lu Li suspected that as long as he walked out of the train station in his current form, the Countermeasure Bureau's remote monitoring would immediately detect him. Therefore, making this clone more human-like was of paramount importance.

Lu Li is very familiar with the human body structure, and Lu Li can even imitate his own genes. The only problem is that he doesn't have the materials. What he can perfectly control right now is the shadow.

Even if those dark shadows resemble the human body, they are still just shadows. Therefore, to truly represent the human body, a human body is necessary as a basis. "I need a test subject."

"I think I can help you!" Dark River said softly, a small wisp of black mist floating in the air. He said with considerable pride, "I can sense that many people here believe in me, and one of them, during his prayer just now, said he had chosen to go to my country."

More than a week has passed since the Wu River Bridge incident, and the previously tight blockade has gradually been lifted. Liu Liuliu is standing by the river, praying softly and devoutly. His father's surname is Liu, and his mother's surname is Liu, which is why he was given this name.

In today's world where internet slang is everywhere, he has acquired many nicknames, among which the most commonly used ones are "Salted Fish" and "666". His classmates and colleagues often tease him, saying that he is just a Salted Fish who can shout "666".

In reality, that's pretty much the case. A bit slow-witted since childhood, he had no special skills other than making some handicrafts. He had no ideals, no ambitions, no abilities, and his parents had passed away a long time ago. He was a typical Salted Fish with no ambitions, no ideals, and no abilities.

Feeling utterly empty inside, he was overwhelmed by fear when he first witnessed the King of Fear rising from the bridge two weeks ago. After that, he began to worship the King of Fear Dark River. Having long felt that life was meaningless, he decided to do something.

Just as Liu Liuliu was about to act, he saw a thin black mist gradually rising from the river. A silent fear rose in his heart, and the chilling feeling made him lie on the riverbank, too afraid to move. He murmured, "Revered King of Fear, your follower here offers you his most sincere faith."

What on earth is this nonsensical prayer? Dark River was speechless. Then he made a deal with the Salted Fish in front of him and took over its body.

"Great King of Fear, what do I need to do?" Liu Liuliu asked fearfully. Under the Dark River's fear stance, despite being extremely terrified, he still retained a certain degree of rationality, which piqued the Dark River's interest.

So Dark River used his identity as one of the three lords of the Dreamlands to open a rift leading to the Shadow Dreamlands, allowing Liu Liuliu to jump in.

Liu Liuliu swallowed hard. Walking in this pitch-black world, he couldn't see his surroundings clearly. The seemingly alive ground beneath his feet filled him with increasing fear. Then he saw seven stars light up in the sky.

His eyes were filled with all sorts of illusions: becoming a superior person, enjoying delicacies, possessing gold and silver treasures, or being surrounded by beautiful women. But overwhelmed by fear, he was limp and dared not move at all.

"O you who are filled with fear, your soul will belong to me, and fear will surround you, becoming my most loyal followers." Then three suns lit up the sky, one of which was clear and bright, another was slightly less so but still radiated countless rays of light, only the last one appeared somewhat dim and lackluster.

However, at this moment, Liu Liuliu's gaze was entirely focused on the largest sun. He felt himself floating lightly towards the sky, and when he turned his head to look down, he could see his body lying in the darkness.

The fear of death filled his soul; he could feel himself disappearing, himself dying. The King of Fear, the true God he worshipped, spoke in his ears, "Embrace fear, my believer."

Filled with fear, Liu Liuliu's soul inhaled the black mist emanating from the Dark River, undergoing an unknown transformation. Meanwhile, his body was devoured by the shadow on the ground, undergoing the deepest level of modification.

Lu Li's clone returned to the Dreamlands and Integration back into his main body. Currently, the Dreamlands has not been rejected by the real world, which is its biggest advantage. It will probably not be so simple in the future.

Looking at the body before him, Lu Li realized that his appearance, blood, muscles, bones, brain, and even genes all needed to be adjusted. However, there were still many problems to be solved. It seemed that obtaining a human body was quite troublesome.
