Jiang Ran's soul swapped with his parallel world self, and he arrived in a strange world of rules. Amidst rules that are hard to distinguish between true and false, and a succession of ill-inte...
May the night bring peace to those who sleep forever!
This is the most important sentence!
This instance is called Moonlit Cemetery! The cemetery is the key!
The temple was built in the cemetery, and the night brought peace to the eternal sleepers, which shows that the goddess of the night protects the dead, those who are already asleep!
Believers throw themselves into your arms and are then purified—but this so-called purification is just killing you! As long as you die, you'll receive the protection of the Goddess of Darkness, ha!
"Death is impossible. Let whoever wants to die die," Jiang Ran thought, wondering if he could obtain the protection of the Goddess of Night through another method.
[Rule 5: If you want to add a unique touch to this cemetery, you can make your own tombstone and plant it in the ground.]
Adding a unique twist... can you acquire the identity of the deceased by creating your own tombstone? Isn't that just like getting a government job?
I never expected the Goddess of the Night to be such a discerning person.
I don't know if I can resist the power of blasphemy after receiving the protection, but anyway, let's give it a try.
Jiang Ran picked out a suitable stone in the cemetery, then violently polished it into the shape of a tombstone. After that, he picked up another stone and carved his name on it.
Making your own tombstone is really an unlucky thing, Jiang Ran couldn't help but complain, but his hands didn't slow down.
Finally, he had an epitaph carved on his tombstone.
[This game is trash, I'm quitting.]
After planting the tombstone in the ground and making it look like that, Jiang Ran asked the mountain god to create vegetation to completely block out the surrounding moonlight. At the same time, he observed his own body. If there was any sign of something wrong, he would immediately stop what he was doing!
About five seconds later, Jiang Ran felt a gentle force attach to his body. At the same time, there were no signs of decay or any other abnormalities on his body.
Furthermore, he also gained night vision, allowing him to see things clearly even without any light!
The method worked; he indeed received the blessing of the Goddess of Night! Jiang Ran instructed the Mountain God to remove the surrounding vegetation, then looked up at the moon in the sky!
In an instant, Jiang Ran felt the clash between two forces! The power attached to him began to fluctuate, and in his vision, the moon in the sky began to grow redder and redder!
Jiang Ran closed his eyes and stopped looking at the moon. He felt that if he continued to look at it, something bad would happen.
"The goddess's protection can indeed resist the power of blasphemy, but it doesn't seem to be very stable, and there is a risk that the power of blasphemy will break through it."
From this perspective, the moon's status may not necessarily be lower than that of the goddess!
With this current protective power, is it possible to return to the temple? Jiang Ran was pondering this when another question suddenly came to mind.
And Aransta? Isn't he the protagonist of this dream?
It seems like this guy has disappeared somewhere since the beginning!
Let's go find that guy after we've explored the temple.
Jiang Ran immediately set off back to the location of the temple.
This time, he didn't need any lighting tools. The mountain god, being a strange creature, was unaffected from beginning to end. This might not be because it was a strange creature, but because it had no physical form.
After entering the temple, Jiang Ran did not go to the left passage, but instead went to the right passage first.
This passage is distinctly different from the one on the left. The left passage only shows signs of decay and neglect when you reach the basement at the bottom of the temple, while the right passage is covered in cracks from the moment you enter.
The bright moon brings light to the darkness.
The moonlight will illuminate your path forward.
Jiang Ran stopped in her tracks.
He understood: the passage on the left corresponded to darkness, while the passage on the right corresponded to the moon. Jiang Ran had now received the blessing of the goddess of the night, and who knew what would happen if he continued down this path!
Any contact with anything related to the moon is considered blasphemy. There is a blasphemous statue in the underground passage on the left. Could it be that there is a corresponding upright statue in the underground passage on the right?
Continuing on this path may be extremely dangerous, but it also surely hides an even greater secret! This is a road where risk and opportunity coexist!
Jiang Ran took a step forward and continued walking.
People who are afraid of this and that can't become ghost story tellers. They don't need danger to stop them; they can stop themselves!
"I think I'll be fine."
This is a miracle from the Wheel of Fortune!
Even in darkness, keep the light in your heart.
When you feel lost, pray to the moon.
A flame shot out from the wall, and then rows and rows of torches lit up, illuminating the entire passage!
Jiang Ran continued forward. At the end of the corridor was the door to a secret room, which was locked with a combination lock. The password had to be solved before he could continue.
He casually added a few more numbers to the keypad, and then the door miraculously opened. Jiang Ran went inside and saw a person wearing a silver cloak kneeling on the ground, surrounded by a circle of lit candles.
"I smell darkness."
The man slowly stood up from the ground, then turned around and looked Jiang Ran up and down!
Jiang Ran noticed that his pupils, like those of the previous ghost storyteller, had turned pure white, and his skin was deathly pale, like that of a dead person.
"We hold the light in our hearts." The man clasped his hands together and made a devout prayer, then drew a silver dagger from his back!
"In the name of the moon, banish the darkness!"
He flashed a silver blade through the air, stepped out from the array of candles, and attacked Jiang Ran with his blade!
Jiang Ran naturally wouldn't surrender easily. He dodged the opponent's first strike by sidestepping and simultaneously punched the opponent's forearm. However, the feedback to Jiang Ran was not the feeling of hitting flesh at all, but rather like hitting a rock!
Numerous vines sprouted from the ground, entangled the man's body, and then threw him back into the center of the room. The mountain god intervened and instantly suppressed him!
Who are you?
Jiang Ran stepped forward and asked.
"To the Light!"
The man raised his dagger, intending to plunge it into his heart, but the mountain god was one step ahead, controlling the plants to tightly bind him, leaving him no chance to resist!
"Ugh! Ah!"
After that, the man just kept shouting meaninglessly and didn't answer any questions. Jiang Ran simply kicked him aside and then went to the center of the candle array.
