Chapter 83: Chapter 82: New Instance dia [Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Subscriptions!]
This candle emits a unique scent.
It seems that only Mu Rufeng has noticed this candle.
“Brother Feng, why are you staring at my head? Although I know I’m a bit bald, it shouldn’t be so obvious that you could tell,” Li Yaocun said suspiciously.
Hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at Li Yaocun’s head.
“No, aren’t your hairs quite lush?” Lin Fuding said.
“Bald? How? Could it be as bad as mine?” Zou Qiang said, chuckling, while touching his sparse strands of hair.
...
“It’s the programr’s life, you’ve gone bald, and that’s made you stronger, right?” Li Yaocun burst out laughing.
Long ijuan and Huang i were also covering their mouths and giggling.
Mu Rufeng’s expression remained solemn and he did not echo the comnts of the others.
“Old Li, touch your head, see if there’s anything on it,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Uh… is there sothing on my head? Did sothing stick to it?” Li Yaocun was slightly startled and subconsciously reached his hand to his head.
“Huh, what’s this?” Li Yaocun instantly touched a black candle.
Li Yaocun took the candle off his head and upon closer inspection, noticed it was indeed a black candle that was still burning.
“Damn, how is there a candle on my head? How did I not notice this at all?” Li Yaocun exclaid in shock.
“What? What candle?” Li Yaocun’s girlfriend, Long ijuan, asked, confused.
“A candle? There’s no candle. What? Are we cutting a cake? Singing the birthday song?” Lin Fuding asked.
“Ah? What are you talking about? Isn’t this a candle in my hand? It’s still burning, emitting black smoke, and this candle is so strange, no sll, what’s it made of?”
Li Yaocun thought they were just teasing him, so he didn’t take it seriously.
“You have a candle in your hand? Stop joking, let’s eat, I’ve been starving,” He Qiang said, stroking his sparse hair, ready to eat.
“Hey hey hey, stop teasing , don’t I have a black candle in my hand?” Li Yaocun said, passing the candle to his girlfriend.
“What’s wrong with you? You’re empty-handed,” Long ijuan said with a puzzled face.
Then, Mu Rufeng stepped forward and grabbed at the candle in Li Yaocun’s hand.
However, Mu Rufeng’s right hand passed directly through the candle, unable to touch it.
It was clear then that this candle was an object of diation for entering an instance, and besides the person himself, even contractors who could see it were unable to touch it.
Unless the owner of the diation object died and it had not yet found the next host, a contractor could then take the diation object to enter the associated exclusive instance.
Once a diation object appeared, it ant that it was a brand-new, never-before-seen instance.
If pulling soone into an old instance, then there would be no diation object; it would directly pull the person in.
Of course, there were scenarios with no diation object that simply dragged soone into an instance, but this mostly included contractors; it was rare for new players.
So special instances would distribute diation objects multiple tis, for example, Bloody Train’s train tickets.
Abnormal Bus’s bus tickets, Gluttonous Cruise’s ship tickets, etc.
“What’s going on? Brother Feng…”
When Li Yaocun saw Mu Rufeng’s hand passing through the candle, he was stunned.
Mu Rufeng’s hand went through without obstruction, as if the candle didn’t exist at all.
“I really do have a candle in my hand, Brother Feng, you see it, right? What just happened?” Li Yaocun suddenly beca agitated.
“Brother Cun, don’t panic, listen to now, this is very important.”
“Don’t interrupt , listen first.”
“The candle in your hand is a diation object, only you can see and touch it.”
“You could disappear at any mont, I’ll cut to the chase. Once inside, be careful, don’t be scared, stay calm, use the ticulous care you used when chasing sister-in-law.”
“To survive in there, the most important thing is to find out the rules, and use those rules to protect yourself.”
“Take this with you, keep it safe, it can be lit when it’s dangerous, and also cash, it’s very important in the instance world, rember, don’t take it out carelessly.”
Mu Rufeng pulled out matches and dormitory manager’s special candle, plus several soul coins, and stuffed them into Li Yaocun’s pockets.
“What? Brother Feng, this…”
Before Li Yaocun could finish his sentence, the black smoke from the candle in his hand suddenly spread out and then enveloped him completely.
The black candle and the black smoke it emitted were invisible to Long ijuan and the others.
They only saw Li Yaocun, who had just been in front of them, vanish into thin air the next second.
“Li… where’s Li Yaocun?” Long ijuan was the first to react, quickly standing up.
“What happened? Where did Brother Cun go? How co he’s gone?”
“Damn, he was just here? What the hell is going on?”
“Am I seeing things? Yaocun? Yaocun? Or did we just encounter a supernatural event?”
Lin Fuding and the others also stood up, their faces filled with astonishnt.
At that mont, Mu Rufeng had already taken out his phone.
He wanted to contact Cheng Youlin to inform him about the situation here, then ask him to dispatch formal employees to handle the aftermath.
However, before he could open his contacts, Cheng Youlin’s call surprisingly ca through first.
After connecting, Mu Rufeng hadn’t even spoken when Cheng Youlin’s voice rang out, “Xiao Mu, Captain Zhou is back, he’s been promoted to Level 3. When are you free to co to the departnt? We are all here.”
Mu Rufeng could hear the excitent mixed in Cheng Youlin’s voice.
“That’s great! But, Brother Lin, I’ve run into so trouble here. A new instance has appeared.” Mu Rufeng chid in.
“A new instance? Did you see the dium? I heard you were at a gathering with friends. Where are you? I’ll bring people over imdiately.”
“I’m in Changsha County, XX Residential Area, Building 3, Apartnt 601,” Mu Rufeng replied.
“That area is under Captain Lao Hei’s jurisdiction. I’ll notify him. You stay there and calm your friends down; we won’t co over,” Cheng Youlin said.
Changsha had one main headquarters and two branches of the Special Departnt.
The headquarters was located in Furong District, quite close to the Billion Plaza, as the area had a huge flow of people needing strong Contractors to oversee it.
It also managed Yuhua District, Tianxing District, and the initial service area.
Naturally, the head of the headquarters was Tian Lin, a Level 4 Contractor, arguably the most powerful force in entire Changsha.
The second branch was located in Xinsha County, governed by Captain Lao Hei, a Level 3, and covered about one-third the area of Changsha.
The third branch was in Wan City District.
Although located in Wan City District, it also managed Moon Land District and was overseen by Zhou Wen, a recently promoted Level 3 Captain.
Generally, each area managed its own affairs without interference from others.
This was why Cheng Youlin had notified Lao Hei instead of going there himself.
Mu Rufeng hung up the phone and turned to the people inside the room.
“Brother Feng, what’s going on exactly? Where is Li Yaocun? What you were saying to him just now…” Long ijuan was the first to ask.
“Brother Feng, we heard you making that phone call. It’s not really so supernatural phenonon, is it? Was that person on the phone from Dragon Group?” Before Mu Rufeng could reply, Zou Qiang hastily interjected.
“Dragon Group? Brother Qiang, have you been reading too many novels? Well, it’s more or less like that, but it’s not called Dragon Group; it’s called the Special Departnt,” Mu Rufeng explained.
“The Special Departnt?” Everyone chorused in unison, their eyes casting doubtful glances at Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng nodded, then proceeded to share so basic information they could disclose.
“So, the Special Departnt is the agency managing these supernatural phenona, and you’re now an employee there?” Lin Fuding asked.
“Yes, I just joined a few days ago. The specifics will be communicated to you by the formal staff, who should be arriving soon.” Mu Rufeng replied.
“Brother Feng, I don’t understand all this Special Departnt stuff, but can you tell , where has Li Yaocun gone? Is he in danger?” Long ijuan urgently inquired.
Long ijuan had been classmates with everyone since university and had been with Li Yaocun for four years already. They were even planning to get married.
“I can only say it’s up to him. Don’t worry; I gave him so items. As long as he doesn’t ss up himself, he will definitely co back safely.”
Mu Rufeng did not divulge any information about the instance to them.
Knowing too much wasn’t good for them.
Even so of the staff’s families were often unaware of the exact nature of the work at the Special Departnt.
“Really?” Long ijuan’s eyes brightened slightly.
“Ding-dong! Ding-dong, ding-dong!”
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang!
“It’s definitely true – must be colleagues from the Special Departnt. I’ll go open the door.”
Mu Rufeng said this and imdiately went to the door, checked the peephole to confirm the visitors, and quickly opened the door.
“You must be colleagues from Changsha County’s branch, hello, I am Mu Rufeng from Wan City District’s branch.”
Mu Rufeng didn’t recognize them but recognized their uniforms.
“So, you are Mu Rufeng! You did well, clearing ten stations. I’m Mo Bin, the operation team leader from Changsha County’s branch, but you can call Lao Hei,” Lao Hei said warmly as he shook Mu Rufeng’s hand.
“Captain Lao Hei? You ca yourself?” Mu Rufeng was also surprised, having heard of Captain Lao Hei’s renown.
“Yes, I happened to be nearby, so I brought so people to check it out.”
“Alright, no more idle chatter for now. Co, tell about the situation. Xiao Liu, Xiao Tang, you two chat with these gentlen and ladies,” Lao Hei directed his two subordinates behind him.
