Chapter 0918: Test of Courage (Part 2)



"What's going on?"

Fang Zheng and Leafa were both stunned when they saw Asuna hugging them and trembling. When they heard Fang Zheng's voice, Asuna raised her head and looked towards Fang Zheng.

"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Asuna's pale face, Fang Zheng was also a little surprised. He knew that Asuna was helpless in this regard, but... it shouldn't be to this extent.

"I, I, I, that... there is a ghost... a ghost..."

"Ghost? It must be someone from the combat team pretending to be a ghost."

Seeing Asuna like this, Leafa was not so sure. Logically, there were indeed several members of the combat team assigned to act like ghosts and scare people along the way. However, they were also very sensible and did not intend to scare people to death. However, looking at Asuna's appearance, it was obvious that she was more than just frightened.

Did someone go too far?

"Alas!!!"

At this moment, Asuna seemed to have seen something again. She quickly hid behind Fang Zheng, stretched out her hand and pointed at the woods next to her.

"Ghost... ghost... ghost..."

"Ghost? Where did the ghost come from?"

Fang Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction of Asuna's finger. Then, a white shadow flashed before his eyes.

"Hmm? It seems there really is one... a human."

Leafa naturally also saw the white shadow, but she was not as scared as Asuna. In Leafa's opinion, this was probably another member of the combat team pretending to be a ghost.

"We'll find out when we go over there and take a look."

Fang Zheng mentioned this casually and walked towards the woods beside the path. Leafa followed him, and Asuna grabbed Fang Zheng's clothes and followed him closely, closing her eyes and not even daring to raise her head.

When the three of them walked into the woods, the figure came towards them again. This time, the three of them could see the figure clearly.

"Why?"

After seeing the figure in front of her clearly, Leafa was the first to cry out.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, she doesn't seem to be a member of our guild."

Not far away, there was a girl who looked to be in her teens. She was wearing a thin white dress, barefoot, with fair skin and black hair. Asuna became more nervous when she heard Leafa's words.

"Yes, yes, is it a ghost?"

"It has legs, so it's probably not a ghost."

"real?"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Asuna trembled and stretched her head out, opened her eyes and looked forward. Looking at Asuna's reaction, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand why the Japanese always used the presence or absence of feet to judge whether the other party was a ghost. He really didn't know what kind of tradition this was...

At this moment, the girl's body suddenly trembled, and then she collapsed to the ground and became motionless.

Seeing this scene, Leafa screamed.

"She looks like she's fainted!"

"I saw it!"

Leafa had just started to speak when Fang Zheng had already walked quickly to the girl's side and picked her up. The girl's eyes were closed and she was unconscious. After all, this was a game world, and it was impossible to judge the other person's condition by body temperature, heartbeat, or breathing, but Fang Zheng still quickly checked and soon found the problem.

"Strange...why is she unmarked?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng was extremely puzzled. In the game, no matter it was a monster, a player, or an NPC, when you focused your attention on them, a mark would appear. Normal players were green, and criminal players were orange. But the girl in front of him didn't have any mark at all, and she didn't look like an NPC. You know, if a player touches an NPC casually, a warning will pop up, and if they go too far, they will be ejected.

But right now, I was holding the girl in my arms and didn't see any system prompts.

There are no mission prompts either.

What is going on?

"Anyway, let's take her back and see."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng quickly made a decision.

After that, the Test of Courage ended smoothly. Fang Zheng did not stop the event because of bringing back a child. After all, it was not a big deal. When Fang Zheng returned to the room with the child, other girls came over after hearing the news and looked at the child in front of them curiously.

"There really isn't a mark...just like Sophie said."

"Sophie, was that her the one you saw last time?"

At this moment, Sophie was also pulled over by the girls. Hearing their questions, Sophie nodded.

"Yes, that's her I saw."

After hearing Sophie's answer, the girls started to make a fuss.

"They look no different from ordinary kids."

"Are there any children who want to come and live with us?"

This guess is quite reliable. After all, it is widely known among players that Darkmoon Sword will take in helpless children. Fang Zheng even made an advertisement in the survival manual. If a child learns about Darkmoon Sword, it is normal for them to come to them for shelter.

"Well, no matter what, we'll know when she wakes up."

Fang Zheng just said this casually, and everyone else shut up. Then Fang Zheng looked at the crowd and saw Saxia.

"Then Miss Sasha, I'll leave this child in your care."

"Of course, Mr. Founder."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sasha smiled slightly, and then reached out her hand to take the child. But...

"oops?"

What everyone didn't expect was that although the little girl was unconscious, her hands were still tightly grasping Fang Zheng's clothes, with no intention of letting go. Even Fang Zheng himself was stunned, because he didn't notice when the little girl grabbed his clothes.

But at the moment, it seems unlikely that she will let go.

"What should I do?"

Fang Zheng tried to get the little girl to let go, but she had no intention of doing so. Fang Zheng wanted to wake the girl up, but looking at her condition... it seemed impossible to wake her up.

"Otherwise, Mr. Fang Zheng, you can sleep with her for one night and see what happens tomorrow morning."

In the end, it was Sasha who made the suggestion, and the other girls did not object. They were not worried that Fang Zheng would do something to the little girl, after all, the girls present knew Fang Zheng's character.

"...It seems that this is the only way."

After hearing Sasha's suggestion and looking at the little girl in his arms, Fang Zheng could only nod helplessly.
