Just as the fifty players entered the scenario …
Inside the city, on a street.
A manhole that was infested with rotten things suddenly loosened. Then, a white powdery substance rose from the ground.
The 'bone sand' was initially flowing, but it soon turned into a real 'geyser'. In less than a few seconds, the manhole was pushed open, and a pillar of sand shot up into the sky. It looked like it was raining sand within a radius of ten meters.
Wherever the sand touched, shadows of ghosts appeared. It did not take long for the shadows to materialize into nine strange living (dead) creatures.
"This is indeed a land of death …" A large skull that was wrapped in strange fire floated in the air and mumbled.
Its name was Seizing Soul, and its level was only lower than the Four Pillars of Divinity.
Beside Seizing Soul, there were eight other strange shadows. They were:
The Curse Spirit was a Latino male. He was tall and muscular, wearing a brown robe with a hood. His appearance was no different from an ordinary human being. The only difference was that he had no pupils in his eyes. His eyes were like amber, sparkling with a dim light.
War Spirit, a human female. She was about three meters tall and was covered in solid biological scales. She had a pair of dragon wings on her back.
Banished Demon, a strange vine that looked like it was made of flesh. It was entangled in knots, and its limbs were hard to distinguish. Its head was a large ball of flesh with no nose or ears. Its eyes were two large compound eyes. It had a bloody mouth, and two rows of sharp teeth poked out from its mouth.
Formless Demon, in its current state, was a floating black stone. It was about three cubic meters in size and had a texture similar to crystal. It had an irregular shape, and the surface of the stone was decorated with grayish-white patterns.
Bloodthirsty Demon, eight meters tall, had a green face and fangs. Its upper body had three heads and six arms, and its lower body was shaped like a snake's tail. Its whole body was covered in a ruby-like carapace armor, and its whole body glowed a bright red.
The Repentant, a brown-haired woman about thirty years old. She wore tight leather armor. Every inch of her exposed skin was covered in stitches, and her eyes and mouth were sewn shut by steel wires.
The decapitator was a white woman in her twenties. She had red hair and a tall and fit figure. She wore soft armor. Her face and right arm were covered in a metal-like bone armor.
The Observer was a four-meter-tall male giant. He had perfect muscle armor like a giant god. His skin was blue, and his long white hair was tied into a bundle behind his back, like the tail of a giant beast.
These nine strange monsters were the subordinates of the King of the Abyss — the Nine Undead Spirits.
"There are wandering dead souls everywhere …" The repentant spoke in a hoarse and weak voice. Her eyes were sewn shut, but it did not seem to affect her vision. "There are millions of them …"
"There are other things … a bunch of filthy things," the Observer continued with a deep, deep voice.
"Do you want to eliminate them?" Decapitation asked immediately.
"Don't worry," Soulsnatcher said in the tone of a leader. "There are still some strange things here …"
Cursed Spirit then said, "They are travelers from another dimension, right?" His eyes glowed. "Hmm … I have never seen so many travelers from another dimension appear at the same place."
"Hah … Since they are all trash, we can just get rid of them all," Bloodthirsty said darkly.
While they were talking, suddenly, in the night sky above their heads … a strange white line appeared without any warning. Around the line, there were shadows of data streams surging.
Several seconds later, the white line was pushed open, and an arm reached out from it. Then, a person's head popped out … Then, an entire torso squeezed out … Finally, a vigorous figure dashed out of the crack and fell from the sky, landing right in the middle of the nine demons and ghosts.
This uninvited guest was a woman. She was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and her hair was green in color. She was one of the Anomalies of Origin, and her name was L2-Bao Lan.
At that moment, Ma Yinlan was using her cold gaze to scan the nine monsters around her. In her eyes, she could only see groups of flowing, glowing numbers. As an extension of the program, she could directly analyze these numbers …

In Ma Yinlan's' Tactical Interface ', that was what she saw. Since she was still level two, she could not fully analyze the enemy's information. Part of the information could only be unlocked through actual combat or intelligence gathering.
"What … are you?" The Observer spoke again. He spoke slowly, and his tone was clumsy.
"You don't have the presence of a living being or the characteristics of an undead." The War Spirit took half a step forward. "Interesting … Are you an enemy? If so, that would be great. "
"Can you explain your purpose of coming here?" As the highest level of the Nine Leaders, Soulsnatcher naturally had the highest intelligence. Furthermore, he knew about the existence of the Anomalies, so he posed a rather constructive question.
Ma Yinlan's analysis of the nine undead had already been completed before the Observer finished his question. She merely replied coldly, "My mission has no conflict of interest with yours. My superior is not interested in this land either. As long as you do not interfere with my mission, we will all be fine."
Soulsnatcher paused before continuing. "Looks like … your target is the traveler from another dimension?"
"Curiosity is not good for you," Ma Yinlan replied. Her two answers did not provide any real information, but she did not turn on the enemy either. After all, she was facing nine sets of unique data alone. If they really got into a fight, she would have no choice but to run.
"Let me cut her down!" The Decapitator chimed in eagerly.
"No …" Soulsnatcher said. After a pause, he added, "Let's go …"
"What did you say?" The other eight chiefs were all puzzled (if they had faces).
"Save your breath," Soulsnatcher said sternly. As the leader, he had a certain level of authority. Once he said that, the other spirits fell silent.
"Let's split up and clear out the trash in the city." Several seconds later, Soulsnatcher said, "But try to avoid the traveler from another dimension and …" He looked at L2-Ma Yinlan. "Creatures similar to her."
