" God Nuo!! I knew you'd be alright!"
"Good, good, God Nuo! No way, No God Nuo! My darling!"
OMG, my leopard cat didn't say goodbye forever! Thank God!!
[I was so scared!! Thank goodness God Nuo isn't hurt! The guest team is saved!]
Meanwhile, Cui Ming, who was guarding the Supreme Bureau office, breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fist, "I knew this kid had a lucky life!"
A grown man who didn't cry when they broke up, now has tears welling up in his eyes.
No wonder he's his son!
Si Mingde finally breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
So what exactly happened with the underground river and the town? Why am I still in the town after jumping into the river?
[Same as above! Now it feels like there's more than one town; the mystery is getting bigger and bigger.]
During the live stream, Si Yan's tense heart finally relaxed with a deep kiss, and her body gradually regained its strength.
He slowly tightened his arms around Jiang Nuo's waist, deepening the kiss, the blanket covering their bodies.
Jiang Nuo didn't want to start a fight in such a dangerous place, so she nudged Si Yan's shoulder, her breathing rapid.
After a long while, when Jiang Nuo could barely breathe, Si Yan gradually withdrew from the kiss and quietly held her in his arms.
Fully conscious and having regained her lover, Si Yan was left with nothing but a heart full of doubts.
"What exactly happened? Why are we back in town?"
Jiang Nuo sat up slightly, her eyes still misty with confusion. She shook her head upon hearing this, "I was summoned by the Dragon Vein to jump into the river, and when I regained consciousness, I was here."
"There was a ceremony going on in the town at the time, and I saw another version of myself inside it, so I guessed it was a gateway to your dimension."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Su Yi and Qi Lin entered at the same time, with a clear smile on Qi Lin's face.
Si Yan looked over, nestled in Jiang Nuo's arms like a bewitching concubine, and slowly raised an eyebrow, " Qi Cang hasn't disappeared?"
"No."
Qi Lin couldn't wait to share this good news.
"His body is here, he's been found."
Qi Lin glanced at the doorway of his room, "However, fusing the body will take time."
If it weren't for the need to analyze clues, Qi Lin wouldn't want to leave the room even for a moment.
Si Yan hadn't expected this, and simply said, "Congratulations."
He didn't care, and held his wife in his arms, saying nothing more, to conserve his energy.
Not long after, another person entered the room and, without any ceremony, casually found a place to sit down.
It's Mikazuki Shunsuke.
To be precise, it was Mikazuki Shunsuke who lost an arm.
"You're a piece of trash, you actually let those dummies beat you up." Si Yan didn't miss any opportunity to mock him.
With Jiang Nuo by his side, his coldness and ruthlessness were hidden, and he became arrogant and sharp-tongued.
"It wasn't the fake person who caused this." Mikazuki Shunsuke sighed, not saying much more, then gave a bitter laugh, "I'm truly a cripple now. I'll just have to trouble you to find a way to leave as soon as possible. I'll do whatever you say."
Si Yan muttered under her breath, "It would have been so much better if you'd done this earlier. You just deserved a beating."
Mikazuki Shunsuke: "... I injured my arm, not my ear."
The room was packed with people, but that didn't stop Si Yan from occasionally begging for kisses. Jiang Nuo knew he was still feeling unwell, so she was happy to oblige.
They chatted casually about the differences in this small town when suddenly Su Yi asked, "Why do I have a feeling you're waiting for someone?"
She was saying this to Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo nodded, slightly raising her chin to indicate the doorway, "She's here."
Hello everyone.
The little girl in the dress reappeared, her smile sweet, yet still eerie.
It's great to see you all here.
When Jiang Nuo brought Si Yan back, she bumped into the little girl, who was still playing with her dolls and said that she would tell everyone a secret when they woke up.
"So, now listen carefully to this secret."
The little girl sat down casually, clutching her doll, and spoke slowly, as if telling a story.
"A long time ago, a very serious disease spread through the town. It was very contagious; anyone who had just met someone with the disease could potentially get infected."
"Until the arrival of a wizard, who brought hope to the town, claiming he could grant everyone the power of eternal life. For the townspeople who had suffered so much, this was nothing short of divine pronouncement."
"The wizard said that to gain immortality, one must worship a demon, specifically a demon he brought with him. And from that day on, the entire town began to undergo earth-shattering changes."
"The church, the square, and the prayer bell tower were no longer enough, so the wizard proposed that the townspeople tear down the cemetery and build gardens and hotels... The townspeople initially disagreed, but as more and more people died, it was indeed constantly squeezing out the living space of the living."
"The wizard also decreed that only descendants of relatives must dig up the graves of their ancestors and bury them all beneath the inn."
Su Yi asked timidly, "Why a hotel?"
"Whether from a feng shui or topographical perspective, a hotel is not a good place to bury remains."
The little girl smiled, her dark circles making her skin appear even paler. "Because the wizard is staying at the inn."
"The boss you met in that world was a descendant of wizards. He's not my father. I have no father."
[Ahhh??? Holy crap, that's explosive!]
I always thought my boss was a good person... But I'm convinced, his kindness was just a lie.
"Under the wizard's supervision, the entire town changed; that's what the buildings outside look like now."
"Then the wizard said that the rules could be implemented. He took out a blood-red book and personally released the elves from it. Every day, he would set rules for the town, covering all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation."
The little girl suddenly grabbed the doll by the neck, her tone becoming increasingly cold and menacing.
"But immortality is a lie; it doesn't exist at all."
"Since the appearance of the Dark River, the wizard has explained the source of immortality; it's just that through the Dark River, one can enter the space he has built, which is exactly the same as the outside."
Her voice grew increasingly shrill, as if she were using all her remaining strength to speak.
"After a person dies, their soul is absorbed into the underground river and enters that small town space, a completely new town, but one full of ghosts."
Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "That's quite interesting."
His smile deepened, but his eyes turned cold.
Do you think we can't tell the difference between ghosts and people?
The little girl's dark pupils stared directly into Jiang Nuo's eyes. "But there, all of you are ghosts."
Jiang Nuo: "..."
