A Genius and a God Fell In Love

The scholar said warmly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaonan. There won't be ghosts here to harass us. You can live here with peace of mind."

Nangong Nan nodded, and she frowned slowly, "But I'm a little worried about the residents of the town. Will they die if they are haunted by ghosts?"

The scholar said kindly: "Is my daughter just soft-hearted and can't bear to see others die?"

Nangong Nan lowered his eyes shyly and whispered: "After all, those are living lives..."

The scholar said: "Thousands of years ago, ghosts were rampant and the town became abnormal. I also came here at that time."

Nangong Nan raised his head with an interested expression, waiting for him to continue.

The scholar said softly: "It's like an unsolvable curse that has not changed at all for thousands of years. Alas... let's not talk about this heavy topic."

Nangong Nan did not continue to ask. The NPC didn't want to talk anymore, so he wouldn't ask any more questions.

She pretended to sigh sadly and said, "They have been tortured for thousands of years. It is really heartbreaking. It would be great if they could all be freed."

The scholar was thoughtful.

The scholar needed a nap at noon, so Nangong Nan went to chat with the old lady.

At that time, she was sitting in the yard tying a broom. When she saw her coming, she subconsciously stood up and went to get her a bench.

Nangong Nan quickly stopped him, "I'll get it myself while you sit down."

The old woman glanced into the house and did not insist.

Nangong Nan came over with the bench in his arms, sat next to her, and said, "Godmother, your hands are so skillful."

The old man smiled and said: "Practice makes perfect. The more you do it, the more you will become proficient."

Nangong Nan said, "Have you and your godfather lived here for a long time?"

The old man said: "Yes, it has been several decades."

Nangong Nan asked again: "I have always had a question, what happened to you? How old are you..."

The old woman stopped moving her hands.

Nangong Nan obviously felt the strong gloom and resentment from her.

If this breath could be seen, it would definitely be a rich black color.

Nangong Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask: "Or is it the fault of a lonely ghost?"

The old man raised his head suddenly, the gentleness on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth revealed a strange and terrifying arc.

She grabbed her hand and said, "You know what? I swore in my heart that I would hide this secret forever."

"Unless someone asks me about it."

Nangong Nan felt the coldness from her hands, but she was not afraid, and the expression on her face was only slightly surprised.

She asked, "What is the secret?"

The old woman looked at her with a strange expression, and her voice was as ethereal as the cold wind blowing by her ears, "I told you, you can no longer be our daughter, do you still want to hear it?"

Nangong Nan was so cold by her voice that she couldn't help but shudder.

【Ding. 】

The feeble voice of the judge sounded, [Hello players, seven hours of game time have passed, and there are three hours remaining. 】

——

Although day and night only last for two hours, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is hot at noon. It is no different from a normal day.

As time passed, some players showed anxiety on their faces, while others became calmer.

And some people are so hot that they think about how to relieve the heat every minute.

For example, shirt man.

Compared to the others who were playing the game seriously, the man in the shirt didn't panic at all.

He was addicted to the smell of rose water on the tip of his nose, and reason had been forgotten. Everywhere he looked was either a tavern or an inn.

Even the gaze that falls on the beautiful player from time to time is fiery.

After failing to achieve his goal several times, he spoke again unwillingly, "Look, it's such a hot day, let's find an inn to rest for a few minutes. It won't hurt if we lose a few minutes."

The beautiful woman's eyebrows flashed with impatience. How many minutes?

It's only a few minutes of short and useless stuff, and it's full of dirty brains.

He is also really courageous.

The woman flipped up her long hair and hid her disdain in her eyes, so he still liked sensible and intelligent men.

She can't resist her beauty, but she's not full of junk either. She hooks him not to flirt with him, but to make it easier to get through.

This self-righteous Enoki mushroom is good.

Totally heading in the direction of stumbling blocks.

The woman took a deep breath, wiped her sweat and said, "Let's exchange some food with the NPC first. I'm already very hungry."

The man in the shirt frowned, obviously unwilling.

But looking at the woman's beautiful face glowing white in the sun, I feel itchy in my heart and reluctant to say harsh words.

So he said half-jokingly: "Don't all beautiful women not eat after lunch?"

Instead of wasting time on eating, it is better to find an inn and live happily.

The woman gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Brother, I haven't had a sip of water since morning."

The man in the shirt patted her shoulder soothingly, "Isn't there alcohol in the inn? Let's go to work now in exchange for food and drink, and by the way, we can get a room to rest."

woman:"……"

She was really blind to choose him.

The two of them walked to the nearest inn. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a player rushing out with a frightened look on his face.

I missed the step and fell onto the stone pavement.

The waiter and the shopkeeper followed behind. Their faces were indifferent, and their bodies exuded a damp and cold look. Their eyes were like being stared at by ghosts at night, which made everyone watching feel chilled.

The player does not get up, and his shadow quickly splits.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it split into two.

One shadow is normal, and the other shadow is baring its teeth and claws, rushing towards the normal shadow like a demon, slowly devouring and chewing...

The player was stunned for a moment, then screamed in horror.

He rushed forward to tear the double shadow apart, but he couldn't touch the shadow at all.

He was so anxious that he got up and stepped on the shadows randomly, but it was all in vain.

"What should I do? Who will save me? Who will save me?"

He looked around in panic, sweating profusely, and his eyes bulging with fear.

At this time, he saw the beautiful player and the man in the shirt.

He seemed to see the savior and rushed towards him and shouted: "Save me, we are together, save me."

The man in the shirt quickly pulled the woman back.

The player was unwilling to catch up and said, "Save me."

The man in the shirt looked horrified and shouted: "Stay away from us, don't come here!"

He was breathing rapidly, and in a panic, he picked up the umbrella standing in front of the stall and hit him hard.

The player fell to the ground, and his shadow had been swallowed up by the extra ghost, creating a gap at the shoulder.

The player himself didn't seem to feel it, but the man in the shirt and the beautiful woman could clearly see that a piece of his shoulder was missing.

The two gasped and backed away in fear.

"what happened?"

"Could it be that when a person's shadow is swallowed up, his body will also disappear?"

"It seems like this, let's get out of here quickly."

The two looked frightened and turned around and ran away.
