Even after a person dies, their soul still lingers...
Well, this isn't really something hard to understand, at least not for Jiang Ran.
That night, although Jiang Ran was wondering what would happen if he actually ran into the receptionist's grandmother, he actually had a very peaceful night without being disturbed by anyone.
"That guy isn't just making up a story to scare us, is he?"
Jiang Ran muttered a complaint. It was already 7 a.m., and he decided to head to the library to look for some clues. He patted the two girls on the back, signaling that they could get up.
"Hmm... Ah ha~" Alice stretched. "Good morning, Brother Jiang Ran!"
Gwen remained lying motionless on the bed, looking like she was reluctant to get out of bed.
"Get up, Gwen."
Jiang Ran nudged Gwen, but she remained lying there without even responding. In this situation, Jiang Ran sensed something was wrong and increased the pressure on her hand, but Gwen still didn't respond!
No normal person could possibly fall asleep under these circumstances! Gwen had no reason to pretend to be asleep, which made Jiang Ran frown.
Alice put her hand under Gwen's nose: "Brother Jiang Ran! She's not breathing!"
"Gwen's a doll, isn't she? She'd be a ghost if she were breathing!"
Jiang Ran turned Gwen over. Gwen looked like she was fast asleep. The only good thing was that there was no other danger.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. No one definitely entered the room last night, which means the incident may have happened earlier, but it only became apparent last night?"
What did they do after they arrived here yesterday? First, they asked the umbrella vendor about the basic situation in Tianguang Town, then they had Gwen get them some money... Wait! Get some money?
"Article Fourteen: Injury and theft are prohibited in Tianguang Town. Violators will be severely punished."
Jiang Ran remembered the rule in Tian Guang Town that people could not hurt others or steal. The little boy Song Yang, whom he met in the tavern, had also mentioned this. If Tian Guang Town was really equivalent to a world of ghost stories, then Gwen's behavior yesterday was equivalent to violating the rule!
"Let's change our plans for now." Jiang Ran picked up Gwen. "We'll go back to the base first, find Yu Cheng to wake Gwen up, and then we need to bring more people here for a bigger search next time!"
"Um."
Jiang Ran knocked on the door of Aransta's room with the dog and two other people, telling them that something had suddenly happened. Aransta stroked his chin and said, "No stealing or hurting people, is the price to fall into a deep sleep?"
“I’m worried it might not just be a deep sleep, so to avoid things getting worse, I need to get Gwen back as soon as possible.”
“Then you can go back to the base first, and take the supplies we purchased back with you.” Aransta nodded. “We don’t all need to go back together. Rusgler, the dog, and the Desert Reaper will stay here to observe.”
"Theft is strictly prohibited, and actually going to work is not only time-consuming but also pays little, so we need to think of other ways. We can have the program create some, or find some other currencies for my brother to modify."
"You must be careful while you stay here. If you encounter any uncertain situations, play it safe and wait for us to come back."
"Don't worry, I'm not reckless. We still plan to start our investigation from the library today, but this time we won't just read books. We'll ask other people who are reading books."
"It's only morning now, and the round trip will take less than two hours. What problems could possibly arise?"
"Okay, then we'll head back now." Jiang Ran smiled. "Maybe we can come back for lunch."
This is a miracle from [Fate]!
Jiang Ran wanted to use [Fate] to extract [Armor], but as it turned out, when he didn't want it, it kept appearing, and when he really wanted to extract it, it wouldn't work!
This is a miracle from the [Chariot]!
"At this moment, I so wish the [Chariot]'s function was simply to create a vehicle out of thin air..."
You're overthinking it. This is a combat-type "miracle."
Jiang Ran and Alice were the only ones on their way, and there was no one holding them back, so Jiang Ran didn't have to worry about anything and could head to the stronghold at full speed.
This greatly shortens the round trip time. Normally, it would take more than half an hour to travel, but now it only takes a few minutes for Jiang Ran to return to the stronghold.
"Brother Jiang Ran? What happened to Miss Gwen?"
Seeing Jiang Ran carrying Gwen back, Yu Cheng quickly came up to greet him and ask what was wrong.
Jiang Ran briefly recounted what had happened: "I was afraid the situation would worsen, so I rushed back. See if there's any way to wake her up. Let's find out what exactly happened first!"
"Hmm." Yu Cheng opened her right hand, and the magic mirror reappeared in her palm. "This is a miracle from the [Creator]!"
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, what has happened to Miss Gwen?"
She has been contaminated.
"pollute?!"
[That's right. Because she offended something, if she weren't so powerful, she would probably be dead by now. The longer it drags on, the more deeply the contamination will take root in her body, and the harder it will be to eradicate.]
"This is really a bit scary. Luckily, Brother Jiang Ran, you rushed back as soon as you discovered the problem!"
"I just feel it can't be that simple, just a deep sleep. We can talk about these things later. Let's figure out a way to wake Gwen up first."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
A crystal ball appeared in Yu Cheng's hand. She gave the crystal ball the attribute of "removing the pollution effect on Gwen". Under the light, Gwen's body moved slightly. A full minute passed before she groggily woke up.
Yu Cheng also felt his mental strength rapidly declining. It was indeed not easy to completely eradicate such pollution!
"Huh? How did I get here?"
When Gwen woke up, she saw several people staring at her, which made her instinctively look around. "I remember she was in the hotel, wasn't she? When did she fly back to the base?"
"Am I dreaming? Oh well, should I just go back to sleep?"
"Hey! Wake up!"
Jiang Ran told Gwen what had happened, which made Gwen break out in a cold sweat. She was just trying to make some money, and you told her it had been contaminated?
"But how else can we make money?"
This is because they're so used to doing things in the supernatural world that they've forgotten how to make money legitimately...
"It's impossible to work, so I can only create something out of nothing."
Gwen blinked her big eyes and looked at Yu Cheng.
"Sister Yu Cheng~"
"Transform! Transform immediately! Conjure up a huge pile of money right now! I'll drain all my mental energy to do it for you!"
