Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 206: Chapter 156: Mysticism Contamination

If calculated based on the detector’s usage interval, the fastest he would need 30 days to complete the reincarnation task. Plus the subsequent reincarnation tasks, it’s unclear if he can complete it before the World Dungeon arrives.

He chose to use the Mystical Detector, and after the compass spun twice, a prompt appeared in front of him.

”Detected a Mysticism pollution area nearby, current distance to target is three thousand meters. Please follow the pointer to the target area.”

Wu Chang left home, following the pointer to find the target location.

In the era of the Secret Magic Knight, navigation systems didn’t exist; the pointer would only point straight to the target direction without planning the route based on current traffic conditions.

In just three kilometers, he took a detour that lasted one and a half hours and finally stopped in front of a bar.

He walked around the bar three times, and the pointer kept pointing here; he could be sure this was the place.

The bar was located in a small alley, with an appearance very ordinary, looking like a residential house, as if afraid of being found by others.

There was no eye-catching sign at the bar entrance, only a few neon-lit letters.

Night Song Bar.

Originally, he thought the location specified by the detector would be some government department related to the Management Bureau or a zone left after an Erosion Dungeon appeared, but unexpectedly, it pointed to a bar.

Thus, it was not a naturally occurring Mysticism pollution area here but a place specially arranged by some player proficient in Mysticism.

After becoming an Explorer, he had the right to view the personnel structure of the Wanghai City branch, as well as the free players registered in Wanghai City.

He didn’t recall there being a Master Level Mysticism researcher inside, was it a fish that got through the net, or someone with ulterior motives?

Sitting down at a spot on Five Elements Street Corner, he attempted to use the Spirit Body to enter the bar to investigate but found that the bar was protected by a barrier, making it impossible for his Spirit Body to enter.

The arranger had obviously made specific protective measures to prevent the bar’s situation from being detected by Skills.

Anomalies usually signal something wrong. It was supposed to be a simple task of completing a reincarnation task, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a big fish.

This made him increasingly curious about the scene inside the bar.

Unable to enter the bar, he just squatted at the door, observing the people entering the bar.

He squatted at the entrance for half an hour, observing several groups entering the bar.

Night Song Bar was a membership-only bar; those entering would take out a membership card or show their membership privileges on a phone app to be allowed in by the security at the door.

A few university students, out for a midnight walk, wanted to peek inside but were turned away by the security. Although they had plenty of money, they were immediately told that a membership card requires a recommendation from an internal member, and newcomers cannot apply.

During his time squatting at the door, Wu Chang opened Xiaohuangshu, Doukuai, and Dousheng but found no information about the Night Song Bar, further confirming its abnormality.

If it were an ordinary player, when things reached this point, there would only be two choices: either give up or find a way to break in or sneak in.

But Wu Chang is different; he is a government insider and also an Explorer of the Management Bureau.

Wanghai City has no secrets for someone of his Level.

Entering the Management Bureau system backend, he directly searched for the creator of the Night Song Bar and followed the trail based on the creator’s details.

If it’s found out to be one of their own, then he would find a way to use connections to get a membership card.

If not, he’d look into it with the anti-vice and firefighting departments to find out.

Upon checking, problems were indeed found. The founder of Night Song Bar was named Tang Renquan, a famous young entrepreneur in Wanghai City, with relatives in politics, holding quite a high position.

More importantly, he was also a Player.

A year ago, several mysterious deaths occurred at Night Song. The deceased died under strange circumstances, deaths attributed to cardiac collapse induced by mental breakdown. The Management Bureau suspected Tang of foul play and infiltrated Night Song for investigation.

However, the subsequent investigation yielded no results, and around the same time, an Evil God cultist was apprehended; they admitted to having a hand in the deaths of several victims. Coupled with Tang Renquan having connections with several local dignitaries and a remarkable family background, the matter was left unresolved.

What is noteworthy is that one of the Management Bureau members who infiltrated the investigation was Zhao Yan.

Wu Chang immediately called Zhao Yan, asking for a Night Song Bar VIP.

Zhao Yan, who had drunk quite a bit at the celebration dinner, had already gone to bed but answered Wu Chang’s call groggily.

Upon hearing Wu Chang wanting the Night Song VIP, he first dazed for a while, then half of the alcohol instantly wore off, and he sat up from the bed.

”Green Onion, are you investigating Night Song?”

Wu Chang knew Zhao Yan would certainly inquire, so he said, ”I was out for a walk tonight. When I passed by Night Song, I felt something was off and wanted to check it out.”

”Where are you now?” Zhao Yan asked.

”At Night Song’s entrance.”

”Wait there, I’m coming over now!”

Half an hour later, Wu Chang saw Zhao Yan getting out of a rideshare car, and he waved at him.

By now, Zhao Yan had sobered up quite a bit. He squatted alongside Wu Chang, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, then said, ”I have Night Song’s VIP, but if you want to investigate, I have to go with you.”

Wu Chang glanced sideways at Zhao Yan, laughing, ”The instructor doesn’t trust me, worried I might do something bad?”

Zhao Yan sniffled, glanced at the alley where Night Song Bar was located, and said, ”That place is sinister, I’m not comfortable with you going alone.”

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, asking, ”What do you mean?”

Zhao Yan said, ”Your clearance is higher than mine now; you must have read the Management Bureau’s files in the backend to find me.”
