A Genius and a God Fell In Love

It was drizzling heavily in the sky, the road was slippery, and there were puddles of water.

Obviously, the rain didn't just start falling.

There were two rows of stone carvings standing on both sides of the road. The weak candles swayed left and right in the night wind, but they would not go out.

At first, the players were startled by these lamplighters who could not see clearly.

It was only when I walked in that I saw that it was a stone carving. Behind the stone carvings was a unified two-story wooden building with an antique style, carved doors and windows, and wooden fences.

I don’t know what time it is, but this street is very quiet at this time.

This kind of silence is not a pure lack of sound, but a strange and desolate silence, without a trace of popularity.

Although the houses are close together, it feels like being in a deserted mountain with only dead leaves swirling in the wind.

The players rubbed their arms, thankful to be together every time they teleported over.

If they dispersed one by one, they might scream again and again, waking up all the ghosts sleeping in the dark night.

Seeing this scene, the players all came to the same conclusion.

This round of the game is a thrilling game that challenges your nerves.

Seriously speaking, Shenming Games is very good at selecting players.

It will integrate each player's weaknesses into the game. I don't know if it's a bad idea to see how frightened they are, or if it's to train players and let them break through themselves.

The players themselves agree that this is the bad taste of the game.

If the game had a human touch, there wouldn't be so many players dying.

Thinking back to the players who died in the previous rounds of the game, these survivors went from horror and fear to numbness to now mechanical breakthroughs...

As for the game, it seems that it is just a game, and dead people are not important to the game at all.

Players feel that the game is cold and ruthless, so even if some judges are very cute and gentle, they will not let their guard down.

Because their gentleness and delicacy will not be an aid to break through.

They are like slave owners in the old days, purely using players as playthings.

Players know this very well.

Most of the thirty people in this round of games are afraid of ghosts and the dark, and there are a few who have never experienced this type of game.

Although I have experience in the previous rounds, I really can't stand the spookiness and horror of this ghost town cemetery.

【Ding~~~~】

Caught off guard, a feeble female voice brushed past the players' ears, and its eerie ending was like the wind blowing in a cemetery, and it took several seconds to disperse.

The players trembled all over and their hair stood on end.

[Welcome to everyone who has been selected by ‘Double Shadow’…]

The voice of this judge is so permeable, like the sound of breath condensed by cold wind, coupled with the eerie game scene, it is not a ghost, but more of a ghost.

[The place you are in is a thousand-year-old town frozen in time. 】

[The residents of the town live a repetitive life every day, but they don’t realize it, because...]

A gust of cold wind blew, blowing the rain and fog sideways, and the cold liquid splashed on the face, biting and cold.

The judge's illusory wind-like voice continued, [Because they all have double shadows. 】

Everyone was stunned.

Double shadow? Some players slowly moved their eyes downwards, looking at the shadows on the ground.

Does the judge mean that one person has two shadows?

Some players have already asked: "What do you mean? Does a person have two shadows?"

"Is it possible that you are possessed by a ghost?"

As soon as these words came out, the legs of several people who were afraid of ghosts trembled even more.

【This question~】

The judge smiled eerily, [Observe for yourselves, a thousand-year-old town, a life that repeats forever, double shadows...]

The short-haired girl wearing a beret nervously grabbed her clothes and said, "I heard my grandfather say that after death, people will continue to repeat what they did in life, and some people will repeat the process of death."

"I've heard that too."

“That’s how it’s played in the movies too.”

"..."

【Hehehe~】

The judge smiled sadly, [Then let’s talk about the rules of the game. 】

[Players are asked to remove the extra shadows from the residents within ten hours. 】

She said slowly, her voice was like a cool breeze blowing by her ears, causing goose bumps.

[There are things that these ghosts hate very much, and there are also things that they like very much. Giving them something they like can lure them out. 】

[Note, BOSS is everywhere, it will disguise itself and confuse players, so you should be careful. 】

She weakly finished a long sentence, took a few deep breaths, and spoke again, [If there are no other questions, let's start the game now. 】

"Wait a moment."

A clear voice sounded, and everyone looked over.

The speaker was wearing black casual clothes and a peaked cap on his head, almost blending into the night.

"How many people are there in the town? Do players need to extract the shadows one by one?"

This sentence reminded other players, and everyone started talking about it.

"Withdrawing the shadows one by one, that's too slow."

"Yeah, ten hours is not enough."

"Ten days are not even enough."

The judge said in her ghostly voice: "It's up to you to do whatever you want, whether you want to separate them one by one or seduce them in groups, it all depends on your ability. 】

[The reward will be awarded to the player who pulled away the last ghost. Do you have any questions~~]

The ending sound of her "?" is very long, as if the night wind blows and lingers for a long time.

"there is none left."

The cool player pressed the brim of his hat and turned his head away.

【What about the rest? Anything else to ask? 】

"there is none left."

"temporarily unavailable."

[Then the game starts, countdown, ten hours. 】

After understanding the situation, the players quickly entered the state.

Some began to observe the surrounding environment, and some looked at other players.

Nangong Nan scanned around and found Tian Hefeng.

Her eyes fell on another acquaintance. In fact, Nangong Nan recognized her from Qian Xia's question just now.

Nangong Nan's fair and beautiful face was thoughtful.

Meeting the big wolf in the last round was God’s arrangement, so this time...

"Nangong."

The voice of surprise made the girl who was dressed neutrally and had a cold temperament melt like ice and snow.

Qian Xia strode over, "I didn't expect us to meet so soon."

Nangong Nan retracted his thoughts and joked with a smile: "Yes, but I thought you would say that you are still alive when you meet me for the first time."

Qian Xia habitually lowered the brim of his hat and said in a slightly unnatural tone: "My view of you has changed a long time ago."

Nangong Nan smiled and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Qian Xia paused and said, "I almost fell into a snake's nest in the last round of the game, but luckily my clothes got caught on a branch and I saved my life."

Nangong Nan said: "That's how it is in the game. It's not uncommon to have near misses. Just stay alive."

Qian Xia nodded, still worried about his mistake.

However, it is a surprise enough to be able to team up with Nangong Nan again.
