One day, Nan Huan was just stepping into the bathtub,
When she was suddenly pulled into a mysterious game.
She initially thought this game was her chance to find her missing girlfriend,...
Chapter 27 Blood Moon Night (Twenty-Seven)
As Nan Huan finished speaking, a gust of wind blew into the library, which had been bare on all sides.
The cool wind blew up the clothes on Nan Huan's arms.
Under the blood-red moonlight, pink vines slowly appeared on the porcelain-white skin.
Like an ink painting, it spread upward from Nanhuan's wrist and occupied half of his arm after a moment.
The pink vines gradually darkened, bringing out a golden light from Nanhuan's body, which seemed somewhat similar to the light emanating from Hull's body.
Hull seemed to feel a magical force calling him.
She vaguely knew where she was going, but the person in her arms was so warm that she seemed reluctant to let go.
But when I thought about being able to follow each other closely in the future, my mind became clear again.
The light on Heer's body became brighter and brighter, and she looked at Nan Huan's forearm.
There was an unclear light flowing in her eyes. After a moment, she couldn't help it. She moved slightly and left a light kiss on Nan Huan's forehead.
This kiss had nothing to do with lust, it was as fleeting as a feather.
It's like saying "hello" to someone you've just met, or "see you next time" to an old friend you've known for a long time.
Nan Huan was a little dazed after realizing what was happening, but her hands and feet were weak and she had not yet recovered from the serious injuries, so there were not many places she could move.
The pale face finally turned a little red because of Hull's actions.
As if he could sense the reluctance in the other's kiss, Nan Huan moved his mouth and added a sentence.
"I'll find a way to get you out more often."
What the other party said seemed to count, and Hull frowned slightly, indicating that he understood.
The next second, the golden light became dazzling.
The scepter soaked in Nan Huan's blood returned to He'er's hand at some point and dissipated in the other's palm.
Nan Huan noticed that he could no longer feel Heer's hand on his shoulder, and even his figure began to become illusory.
Until the other person's figure turned into a beam of light and penetrated into the skin on Nan Huan's arm.
Printed on the pink vine branches, the petals frowned by the flowing water bloomed, leaving behind a figure of Hull, hidden in the middle of the vines.
At the last moment, Nan Huan felt something was stuffed into his left hand.

Congratulations to the player for unlocking I am the eldest lady's 'God's Messenger'
The Lady's Envoy*1
Species: Vampire
Current level: Divine Envoy
Weapon: Scepter of Infernal Affairs
Skills: Unknown (The vampire has never shown her full strength in the dungeon. Now with the help of the Scepter of Infernal Affairs, she is even more powerful. The system cannot estimate her ability. It is recommended that players explore on their own.)
Skill Cooldown Time: Not yet unlocked (to be determined based on the player's subsequent exploration of the game copy)
Summoning conditions: Not unlocked yet (please explore on your own)]
As the prompt sounded, Heer's figure had completely disappeared into Nan Huan's skin. However, with a flash of golden light, Nan Huan saw something coming out of Heer's body and falling into his other hand.
Nan Huan was originally very happy when he heard the hint and wanted to study the conditions for summoning Hel.
As a result, after listening to it for a while, all I heard was "players explore on their own", and everything was uncertain.
His face suddenly turned dark, and he didn't care about the things in his hands anymore. He had to look at the virtual screen again and study it. After confirming that behind Hull's summoning conditions, it actually said "not unlocked yet".
I have dozens of whys in my mind and want to ask the system.
I don’t know if it was the system that had anticipated that Nan Huan would ask questions, and quickly sounded a prompt before the other party opened his mouth, trying to shut him up.
【bite--
The god's messenger Hel has been detected, and his gift to the player is a bloody bow tie.
Activate the gift skill of I am the eldest lady.
I am the eldest lady.
Gifted Skill: Bloody Satin (The target locked by the satin will have the satin dyed red with blood)
You have obtained a bloody bow tie from the vampire Hell, which has the power she bestowed upon you. This skill can only be used twice in each instance.
Points required for a single use: 5000 points
As the number of uses increases, the effects of (Blood Falls) and (Blood Plague) can be activated.
Bloody Waterfall: Kills all living things within three feet.
Bloody Plague: One person spreads to ten, ten spread to a hundred, silently, killing people invisibly. 】
Nan Huan lowered his head and saw clearly that what was held in his left hand was the blood-red bow tie that Hull had originally tied around his neck. It had a long tail and was held in Nan Huan's hand.
Following the system's prompt sound, the blood-red bow tie sank into his body, and a blood-red bow tie pattern appeared behind the gift skill on the virtual panel.
Each copy can only be used twice, and a single use consumes 5,000 points.
Nan Huan glanced at himself, now with only 79 points left, and felt that he had a lot more to say.
But before the other party could speak, the system once again took the lead.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the fragment of the special item 'Totem of Faith'.
Tip: This totem is very important. Only those who have collected all the fragments can become the final candidate for the believer. 】
Well, if you want to stop me, let me see how much more you need to be reminded of.
What special props?
What belief totem fragments?
What believers...?
believer?
Nan Huan did not miss these two words, and his originally lazy eyes suddenly lit up.
She did not forget what the system said when she first entered the game - Welcome to "Infernal Affairs", our goal is to become the most loyal believer of the Lord of Infernal Affairs!
She felt strange at the time, but she didn't find any connection with the content of the game. She didn't expect that it was waiting here?
Thinking of Liang Yu and Cui Zhongming's unprovoked provocation of the witch, it seems very likely that the two of them came here for this thing from the beginning, but they didn't expect that this thing was no longer on the witch from the beginning to the end, but on Hull's body.
If he hadn't realized that the butler was the owner of the castle, hadn't realized that the owner of the castle was not traveling, and hadn't realized that the scepter could be used to lift the restricted area.
Then this fragment of faith will most likely never see the light of day again.
Nan Huan felt a chill in his heart, and intuitively felt that this "most loyal believer" was not a good title, but it seemed to have some unclear relationship with the content of the game, the ultimate goal, and the meaning of existence.
Well, there was one more thing she wanted to discuss with the system.
This time Nan Huan did not speak directly, but remained silent, waiting slowly for the system to speak first. She did not believe that the other party had anything else to announce.
As if sensing her thoughts, the system did not disappoint Nan Huan.
However, this time the notification was not as impartial as the ones Nan Huan had heard before, but was mixed with a certain attitude of watching the show.
【bite--
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Fragment of the Totem of Faith.
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Fragment of the Totem of Faith.
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Faith Totem Fragment. 】
The three notifications were very formal and specifically mentioned the title of Nanhuan.
Nan Huan didn't understand at first. Wasn't it just mentioned about the fragments of the faith totem?
Why did the system call out three more times until she saw Xiaoxue and Li Shuai standing not far from her.
As if they had heard something shocking, they were stunned for a moment, and then all turned their gazes to her right hand which was still holding the fragments.
This dog game, this notice is not just for her.
Nan Huan: Don’t tell me that players who are not in this game copy also received the notification.
System: According to the game rules, whenever the system detects that someone has obtained a Faith Totem fragment, it will notify all players in the game, so...
When it said this, it deliberately paused for a moment before continuing.
System: Congratulations, you are now famous among all the players. It is truly a cause for celebration that you have achieved such an achievement just after entering the game!
The corners of Nan Huan's mouth twitched. Listen to yourself, are you speaking human language?
Oh, the system is not a human being, so it is normal that it cannot speak human language.
Nan Huan had seen the system's eccentricity before, and she also knew that the notice had been sent out. Even if she wanted to bring charges, it was probably too late now.
I had no choice but to lower my head and study the fragment of the faith totem in my hand.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she noticed two extremely passionate gazes from the side.
Nan Huan looked up and saw Xiaoxue and Li Shuai standing two steps away from him, looking at his hands with some curiosity.
When he saw himself looking up, he seemed to feel that something was not right, so he quickly lowered his eyes and wanted to turn around.
"You all heard it just now, why are you turning around? If you want to see, come over here. I'm in pain and can't get up."
Nan Huan was so angry at the two of them that he laughed. He felt like a devil who killed people without blinking an eye. He was afraid that others would keep an eye on him and not even allow them to look at him.
But she still felt some pain in her body, as Hull had put her on a fallen bookshelf before leaving.
Although it was a bit hard, at least there was some support so that she didn't have to lie on the ground in a mess.
She was still in pain and really didn't want to move, so she had to ask the two men to come over.
In fact, Xiaoxue and Li Shuai were not afraid that Nanhuan would kill people to silence them.
It's just that the other party almost lost his life in exchange for this thing, but the two of them didn't contribute anything, so they felt a little embarrassed to just look at it openly.
However, when he heard that Nan Huan didn't mind, and heard the other party shouting that he was feeling uncomfortable, he didn't dare to let the other party move and hurried over.
But after the three of them looked at the fragments in Nan Huan's hand for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what it was.
Because the fragment in Nan Huan's palm looked like a piece of plastic that was randomly broken off from somewhere. It was gray and had no pattern or even a scratch on it.
"Did you two see anything special?"
Nan Huan frowned, and tossed the fragment back and forth in his hands for a few times. Not giving up, he even picked it up and looked at it in the moonlight, but he didn't find anything special.
Xiaoxue and Li Shuai shook their heads. Nanhuan couldn't see anything, so they could see even less.
"You'd better keep this fragment well, and try not to tell anyone outside that you got it, so as to avoid attracting..."
When Li Shuai saw the fragments in Nan Huan's hand, he thought of another question.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nan Huan.
"It's too late. The notice just now was not just for the three of us, but for all the players in this game."
Nan Huan knew his good intentions and did not hide them.
Xiaoxue and Li Shuai opened their mouths wide at the sudden news.
——
The rest area of the Departure Zone.
In the study room on the top floor of the main building of the manor.
It was late at night, and the owner of the study was working over the contents of two game copies he had collected, frowning as if he was thinking about something.
The gold-rimmed glasses could not block her sharp gaze.
The person standing aside had a troubled look on his face. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke, "President, the information collected from these two games is limited. Let's wait a little longer."
When the woman heard her words, she slowly stood up from behind the desk. Her movements were slow but very firm.
But when she opened her mouth to say something, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart, and then her body seemed to be filled with something.
The feeling was so strange that the woman staggered backwards and bumped into a chair, making a sharp sound on the ground.
This sudden change was a bit too sudden. The people waiting did not expect it. When they reacted, they rushed forward to meet it.
"President, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor?"
The woman covered her chest, feeling so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak. It felt as if something was being squeezed into her body, and several images flashed through her mind in panic.
Because it happened so quickly, any information had already disappeared before it could be captured.
But after a moment, the woman felt the dull pain disappear, but the feeling of fullness in her heart was still there. She felt that her heart seemed to become a little heavier.
She checked her body's data through her virtual panel and found nothing particularly wrong. She stopped her subordinates and said, "I'm fine. Don't alarm others. These two copies..."
She opened her mouth with difficulty and let out a long sigh, hoping to relieve the squeezing feeling in her heart. But before she could say anything, the system notification sounded.
【bite--
Congratulations to Miss Player for obtaining the Faith Totem Fragment. X3】
The news came too suddenly, and both of them had uncontrollable shock on their faces. However, the woman who was supported immediately hid her shocked expression and replaced it with a stern look.
"How is this possible?"
The woman who came up to help was still in shock and couldn't believe what she heard.
But the woman with glasses had returned to normal. "Go check this title and all the information about the other party as soon as possible. Also, you personally take people to the game lobby and wait at the exit of the Blood Moon Night instance. Whoever is alive should be out soon. If this 'young lady' doesn't have a reliable guild to guarantee her and someone is causing trouble for her, you will take action and guarantee her in the name of the guild, and send people to protect her safety and keep an eye on her movements."
"There is no such title among the top 200 players. I will try to have someone check it out. Venue, do you suspect that this Faith Totem fragment is in the Blood Moon Night instance? Maybe it's in another instance?"
The woman suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "It is impossible for the people from the Secret of Witchcraft and the Order of No Order to send a player with decent abilities to this dungeon for no reason. Moreover, this dungeon was upgraded to S-level in just one and a half days. It is definitely not a coincidence. The extra player is probably the person with the title 'Miss'."
The woman didn't seem to like the fact that her favorite name had become a code name for a stranger, especially since this person was probably not someone she was going to mess with.
There was a flash of disdain in her eyes, but after a moment she looked at the picture frame on the desk, and her gaze softened a little.
Hearing this, the person who received the order did not dare to delay any longer, "I will do it right away, President, rest assured."
——
In the game, Nan Huan saw that his words scared Xiaoxue and Li Shuai.
Although I know that I am now a moving target in everyone's eyes, I can only say for my own amusement, "Fortunately, the game is still somewhat humane and only announced the title. As long as you two don't say it, no one should know that the 'young lady' is me, so I should be safe for the time being... right?"
Nan Huan's tone became a little unsure because he saw the naked "how is it possible" in Xiaoxue and Li Shuai's eyes.
Could it be that he said something wrong? Nan Huan was a little confused.
"Did you forget the announcement screen in the game hall?"
Xiaoxue cruelly shattered Nanhuan's last bit of fantasy.
"Public notice screen?"
What the hell is this? Nan Huan came to this point when she first came to the game, so she didn't know what they were talking about, but she didn't forget that she had pretended to be a big boss before, so naturally she couldn't take the initiative to ask now, after all, she was afraid of being exposed.
Fortunately, Li Shuai explained, "Although there were hundreds of games in progress in the game hall at the same time when the system prompt sounded, I don't think any game would be like this, Blood Moon Night, which was upgraded two levels in a day and a half, from a D-level game to an S-level copy. Soon, there should be players who will associate the abnormality of this game with your obtaining the Faith Totem Fragment. Maybe someone has already noticed it when the game was upgraded."
"Then those people just need to go to the exit of the game and wait for you. This is not a difficult task. After all, all the major guilds have people who keep an eye on the changes in various dungeon games at any time. In addition..."
When Li Shuai said this, he seemed to be hesitant about whether to say the next words.
Xiaoxue took over the conversation, "Plus, recently all the major guilds seem to have taken actions in private. We didn't know what they wanted to do at first, but now it seems...it seems that they may have heard about the fragments of the faith totem, so they are ready to take action. I didn't expect to be intercepted by you."
Nan Huan was really feeling aggrieved, but he didn't know who to talk to.
She just wanted to go into the bathroom to take a shower, who knew things would turn out like this.
She also didn't know that the game lobby would report the progress of the game in real time, and she didn't expect that just getting a fragment would cause so much trouble.
"So, I am now a sitting duck. As soon as I leave the game, I will immediately become the public enemy of all the major guilds, and even a thorn in the eyes and flesh of all the players?"
Although this statement is rough, the logic is sound.
Xiaoxue nodded helplessly. Seeing the tired look on Nan Huan's face, she quickly said, "I told you before that if you want to join our guild, we can introduce you. But you are carrying this fragment with you now, so it is inevitable that the president will..."
"Why did you call Heer the president when you saw her just now? Does she look like your president?"
Nan Huan finally remembered a more important question. She ignored the many things Xiaoxue said and hurriedly asked, her tone sounding a little anxious.
It seemed that being hunted by a big guild was not a big deal, and was far less important than what he was asking about now.
Xiaoxue was a little hesitant at first, not knowing whether she should say these words and whether it would reveal the president's privacy. But considering that if it weren't for Nan Huan, she and Li Shuai might have died in this game long ago.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. "Yes, they are similar. Although we have only seen the president from a distance a few times, the other person's appearance is so outstanding that I have a deep impression of him. However, Hull and the president still give people a little different feeling. I can't explain it clearly..."
Nan Huan could no longer hear what Xiaoxue said afterwards. She only heard the first sentence, "It is indeed very similar," and a smile appeared on her face.
It's the kind of smile that comes from the heart and makes you truly happy.
Although she still looked a little sick, it did not stop her from smiling beautifully.
The big guild's pursuit and the panic of suddenly entering the game were all soothed by this news.
Nan Huan looked at Xiao Xue and said seriously, "Don't think about it. I have decided to join your guild."
