However, Zhang Quan, who had already left, did not notice that the bleeding from Lin Yu's wounds had stopped and was even being absorbed internally.
A few flower petals lay beside the corpse, red like blood, looking incredibly eerie.
At the same time, the coffin that Zhang Quan had closed suddenly opened, and the Ghost King's soul, which should have dissipated, was found still inside the coffin, waiting for everyone to leave so it could seize Lin Yu's body and return to its original form.
Perhaps even the Ghost King himself did not expect that, without him even having to expend any more effort, the corpse would be restored to its original state.
The soul wandered beside the corpse, seemingly observing the cause.
Lin Yu.
Upon hearing the sound, the soul immediately materialized and cautiously looked around.
Its semi-transparent soul form bore a resemblance to Lin Yu, except that having returned from a life-or-death ordeal, it was sharper and more alert.
Who goes there!
The Curse-Destroying Flower bloomed completely from Lin Yu's body, An Yin's voice became clearer and clearer, as if it had traveled billions of light-years and resounded from the void.
"Do you know why you have no brothers, yet Lin Yu is similar to you and feels close to you?"
This was what puzzled Lin Yu the most.
After his death, he never expected to return to the real world. He could vaguely sense that he was brought back by a force, but after returning, he could not find his former body.
It's as if Lin Yu no longer exists in this world.
His soul was on the verge of dissipating, so he could only find a corpse in a tomb to possess. Not long after, Lin Yu came looking for him and was willing to find humans for him to consume.
"The body Lin Yu was using originally belonged to you. He erased everything about Lin Yu, and now that you've returned, you can be used by him again..."
What?! Lin Yu used me!
Lin Yu knew, of course, what a hypocritical face Lin Yu presented to outsiders, but he had ultimately saved him.
How is he able to do so many things?
An Yin: "As the protagonist of this world, and blessed by the Heavenly Dao, his life path is naturally smooth."
main character...
Lin Yu had just heard that word from Jiang Nuo.
Thinking of Jiang Nuo, his former friend with whom he had endlessly fought, Lin Yu's eyes were filled with hatred.
Just as he hadn't expected Jiang Nuo to be able to revive even after being pushed into the fire pit and having his skin peeled and flesh scraped off.
Jiang Nuo certainly never expected that he, who had been killed, could return to the real world.
"Your sudden appearance must be of help to me."
Lin Yu, who was known as the most cunning person in the game world, quickly figured out the key to it.
"Since Lin Yu is the protagonist of this world, then when the protagonist dies, there must be a replacement."
Lin Yu's semi-transparent soul turned around, staring intently at the body that originally belonged to him, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
An Yin indeed answered, "I will make you the new protagonist, and issue you a task you must complete: kill Si Yan, seize the soul containing special power, and offer it as a sacrifice to me."
Lin Yu was more wary than Lin Yu and did not immediately agree, saying, "With your abilities, killing him would be a piece of cake."
"I am not a being of this world, and I cannot act personally, otherwise the world will collapse... but perhaps that's not entirely impossible?"
Lin Yu: "That's not necessary."
"Well then, I wish you all the best."
The black mist dissipated, Lin Yu's consciousness awoke from Lin Yu's body.
He turned his neck, and although it was the same skin, he looked more radiant and fierce in the mirror, a far cry from his hypocritical gentle appearance.
" Jiang Nuo, I look forward to seeing you again."
--
" Nuonuo... you go take a shower first."
When Si Yan got home, Jiang Nuo treated her like a giant plush toy, keeping her in the room and cuddling her and kissing her.
He certainly enjoyed it.
But... Si Yan covered his nose with his fingertips, coaxingly stroking Jiang Nuo's cheek, " Nuonuo, be good."
Jiang Nuo blinked, looked down at her dirty clothes, and a look of confusion flashed in her red eyes.
Yes, Si Yan is afraid of getting dirty.
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Nuo jumped off him and dashed into the bathroom.
Si Yan held the half-undone shirt, smelled it, frowned slightly, took it off and threw it on the bed, then casually pulled the blanket over himself.
Her collarbone and shoulders, exposed outside the blanket, were covered in hickeys, and her lips were even cut.
Si Yan could sense that Jiang Nuo, with her red eyes, was even more out of control, driven by malice and driven entirely by her mood.
And that Lin Yu...
Si Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes. What protagonist? Why did Nuonuo say that Lin Yu would kill him?
As I was thinking, the bathroom door clicked open.
Si Yan looked up, her breath catching in her throat. " Nuonuo... why aren't you wearing clothes?"
"I didn't bring any clothes with me, and you think they're dirty?"
Jiang Nuo put on her bathrobe, looked down and pulled open the collar to peek, "It's okay, you can't see."
Si Yan: "..."
That really tests your composure.
[A new protagonist has been detected in this world. The Save the Villain Plan has regressed to 50%, points -600]
Jiang Nuo's smile vanished instantly.
[Hey, another main character? Are your main characters sold in bulk, buy one get one free?]
[Does the quest taker need help? 50 points will grant a clue to the main character.]
Jiang Nuo climbed onto the bed, hugged and kissed Si Yan, and answered when she had a spare moment, "[What clue? Is it related to Si Yan?]"
[No.]
[Then get lost.]
[...]
Si Yan noticed that Jiang Nuo was absent-minded, so he concealed the strange, stubborn look in his eyes, pursed his thin lips, snuggled into his arms with a wronged expression, and placed his palm against Jiang Nuo's chest.
"Is it because I'm not pretty anymore? Nuonuo's spacing out..."
As he said this, he first made himself angry.
"Is Nuonuo thinking of someone else? What am I going to do... become your divorced husband?"
Jiang Nuo, regaining her senses. "..."
What and what?
He himself didn't realize that being around Si Yan had significantly reduced the bloodlust in his red eyes, and he didn't lose control like he did in the game world.
He grabbed Si Yan by the shoulder and pulled him down, his long, slender fingers caressing Si Yan's soft hair, a slight smirk playing at the corner of his eye, "There's no one else, Little Lucky Star only..."
Jiang Nuo suddenly touched something.
He pulled back the blanket separating him from Si Yan, looked at the thing around his neck, blinked in confusion, and pointed at it with his fingertip.
"What is this?" It looks familiar.
Jiang Nuo thought for a moment, "Ah... Spirit-Suppressing Stone?"
The female ghost in the inn also gave him a piece.
Si Yan gently stroked Jiang Nuo's nape and whispered, "Grandpa, please suppress the Spiritual Power within me."
" The Spirit-Suppressing Stone only works if a living soul is released inside." Jiang Nuo suddenly sat up, her brows furrowed, clearly unhappy again.
"You've been carrying someone else's soul with you!"
Jiang Nuo started to feel troubled when this was mentioned.
Now that he has killed the main character, the lingering trace of Love Soul still hasn't been found.
"But if I don't take it with me, I will die."
Si Yan looked at him with a wronged expression.
