White Mist

Ever since Li Wei obtained the six Dragon Jade and used them to advance to S1 level, gaining the powerful summoning technique 'Ink Dragon's Protection', he has developed an air of superiority, though he himself has not even realized it.

The powerful combat strength brought with it great power and ability, which made Li Wei feel that he could handle all kinds of emergencies. In addition, with his excellent analytical and calculation abilities, he survived more than a dozen missions and became stronger and stronger.

Therefore, Li Wei fears nothing.

However, when Li Wei rushed into the stairwell and saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. A male reincarnator was half-embedded in the floor of the stairs, his expression one of terror Pain, but he was already dead, with a large amount of blood splattered around him.

How did this person get embedded in the floor?

Moreover, Li Wei did not sense the presence of any enemies. Li Wei grabbed the trembling Reincarnator beside him and used his aura to bring the other party back to his senses. He then inquired about what had happened.

This reincarnated person, however, stuttered as he recounted what he had witnessed.

"We had just arrived here when we saw a Skill Book on the floor. Zhang Guohui tried to pick it up, but suddenly a hand reached out from the floor and pulled him down..."

Was the deceased named Zhang Guohui?

Li Wei glanced back but didn't see the 'hand' the reincarnator had mentioned. How could this explain the bizarre situation where this reincarnator named Zhang Guohui had half his body submerged in the cement floor?

Li Wei went over to examine the body but found nothing. At this moment, Zheng Yutong and An Hei also came over, and Li Wei briefly recounted what had happened.

Zheng Yutong was naturally filled with sighs, while An Hei looked on with an An Hei expression. His eyes were fixed on the reincarnator recounting Li Wei's story, and after a moment, he exclaimed in surprise, silently chanting an incantation and unleashing a spell, 'Ice Spike!'

An Hei's sudden attack startled everyone, who wondered if he had gone mad.

Li Wei and Zheng Yutong, who were familiar with An Hei, understood that this man wouldn't do this without reason. Ice Spike was a low-level spell, but its destructive power was considerable. The ice spikes that shot out were the size of a palm, extremely sharp, and could pierce through light armor. The reincarnator probably never expected An Hei to make a move, and with a look of astonishment on his face, he was directly pierced through by the Ice Spike.

Strangely, there was no splatter of blood as Li Wei had imagined. The wound where the reincarnator was pierced by the ice spike only contained rotting white flesh, completely devoid of color.

"This... this is?" Li Wei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

An Hei immediately prepared another spell, but then asked, "This person isn't a reincarnator at all. Have you ever seen what he looks like?"

Those who heard An Hei's words were all startled. Looking at the reincarnator again, they realized that they had never seen this person before. Although there were 20 reincarnators, they had all observed each other, and none of them had seen this 'reincarnator' before.

Realizing what was happening, Li Wei acted quickly. He hadn't used his Eye of Perception earlier because he had preconceived notions that the other party's reaction suggested they were a Reincarnator.

"You even fooled me!" Li Wei roared in anger, charging directly at the reincarnator. However, the latter gave a strange smile, his potentially fatal wounds having no effect whatsoever.

"Not bad observation skills, but no matter what, you're all going to die here, hahahaha!"

After saying that, the surrounding environment went dark eerily, and when the light returned, the person had vanished without a trace.

There were quite a few reincarnators who witnessed this scene. Although they were all ability users with special powers, they had never seen anything like it before. They were all dumbfounded and speechless.

Li Wei released his senses, but to no avail. The person's 'escape technique' was flawless, without a single flaw. Anyone capable of this must be stronger than Li Wei. But if that were truly the case, would the opponent still need to escape?

Also, what's the deal with this hospital?

Regardless, of the 20 reincarnators, excluding Qiao Yan who disappeared at the beginning and the one who has now died, there are currently 18 remaining. Li Wei, who witnessed everything, doesn't even know who the enemy is.

"Could it be... a ghost?" Zheng Yutong whispered. She could only attribute this incomprehensible thing to ghosts and monsters. Her voice was very soft, but it was still heard by the reincarnators, and a murmur of discussion immediately broke out.

Li Wei shook his head. "It shouldn't be a ghost or Devil. I've seen plenty of demons and monsters; no one has that kind of instinct. But just to be on the safe side, I'll summon the Blood Demon Old Ghost!"

After saying that, Li Wei patted the Beast Soul Sword and was about to summon the Old Ghost within the sword, but this time, the summons seemed to sink without a trace, and there was no response whatsoever.

"How could this be?" Li Wei's face was bitter. He tried again, but the result was the same.

"Don't try it. This should also be one of the rules of this mission. Most likely, if Blood Demon Old Ghost and the others appear, they might reveal the key point of this mission. So... that person may use the power of the rules to prevent all ghosts from appearing!" An Hei analyzed.

Li Wei naturally knew who the 'that person' he was referring to was.

Li Wei also knew that if the Main God added a rule to this mission world that "all ghosts are prohibited from appearing in this mission scene", then naturally it would be impossible to summon the two ghosts.

But if that's the case, then who was that guy who just suddenly disappeared?

A white sheet was placed over the body of the deceased reincarnator, and the group returned to the brightly lit hall. Now, they dared not go anywhere else.

"If we all gather together, no evil spirit can do anything about it. I've heard that evil spirits only prey on people who are alone!" one of the reincarnators said confidently.

His words had a certain effect, and the somewhat fearful atmosphere eased considerably with his words. So the reincarnators picked up the chairs that had fallen to the ground, sat down, and began to talk quietly.

Many people tried to leave the hall and go outside, but they quickly returned.

"It's too dark outside, and we've heard some strange noises. Believe me, going outside isn't a good choice!" This reincarnator was quite humorous.

Time slowly passed, and about an hour later, the piercing air raid siren sounded again. The reincarnators all stood up instantly, looking around warily.

The lights suddenly dimmed, then returned to normal when the air raid siren stopped. Light also streamed in through the glass. The hospital lobby was no longer the eerie, decaying grayness it once was, and the outside was no longer pitch black; the sky was bright, though shrouded in thick white fog.

But regardless, the environment is much better now than it was at the beginning.

The reincarnators' tense nerves relaxed considerably, and someone immediately suggested searching outside.

"This hospital isn't safe, it's better to leave!" Li Wei also thought this was a good idea, and no one raised any objections, although a few individuals were unwilling to leave the hospital lobby.

"This must be a trap set by the mission. If you go out, the air raid siren will sound again, and then it will plunge into darkness again. What will appear in the An Hei then? Ghosts? Or that 'thing' from before?"

They heard the An Hei analysis as well, and it was clear that what they had just heard was neither a ghost nor a person, so they could only refer to it as a 'thing'.

What these reincarnators said made sense, and some people immediately hesitated about whether to go out. After a short while, the 18 people split into two groups: a larger group of 12 people walked out of the hospital lobby, while a smaller group of 6 people stayed in the lobby.

Li Wei, Zheng Yutong, and An Hei were among the 12 who left.

"The key to the mission is to survive for 7 days. Considering the time since we entered the mission world, only 2 hours have passed. Staying in the hospital lobby is definitely not a good choice... The Main God won't let us get through this mission so easily!" Li Wei said in a very low voice as he walked.

He was the only one who had direct contact with the Main God. Judging from that contact, the Main God's purpose in setting up these missions was twofold: firstly, to select the most promising individuals, continuously strengthen them, and then recruit them for his own use once they reached a certain level; secondly, it's possible that the Main God treated these missions as a form of entertainment.

In the eyes of the Main God, reincarnators are no different from ants, and unfortunately, he himself is now one of those ants, only a larger one.

Fortunately, Li Wei still has hope. The Dragon Power grants him an S-rank special skill with each level he gains, one of his trump cards against the Main God. Furthermore, the Copper Pot World can also block the Main God's surveillance. Therefore, Li Wei is an ant with enough potential to retaliate against the Main God.

Of course, he can't do that right now.

The twelve people went outside and walked slowly. The surrounding area was shrouded in white fog with extremely low visibility, and apart from the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound; it was eerily quiet.

Every now and then, volcanic ash falls from the sky, and looking up, it's as if a pot lid is covering the sky, making people feel very depressed.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the group could roughly tell that they were in a small town that had long been abandoned. After rounding a building, Li Wei keenly spotted a figure flashing by ahead.

"Someone's there!"

Clearly, Li Wei wasn't the only one who saw a figure. The 12 people quickly gave chase. Perhaps that figure was a character from the story, or more likely, that figure was the key to surviving this bizarre mission.

The reincarnators were all enhanced warriors, and they ran incredibly fast, almost as fast as a speeding car. However, the figure in front seemed to be fleeing for his life, but obviously his stamina was limited, and he was slowly being caught up by the others.

Finally, the man was cornered in a dead end, squatting against the wall, panting heavily.

"Who are you?" one of the reincarnators asked, drawing his weapon. Even though they were several meters apart, the thick fog made it impossible to see the other person's face clearly.

Li Wei and An Hei frowned when they saw the person opposite them.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a mixture of doubt and certainty in each other's eyes.

The person opposite him looked very familiar to Li Wei from the very beginning. Now that he was closer, although he couldn't see the face because the person was bent over, he could still recognize the build and aura.

"You... you are Qiao Yan?"
