Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"You...you shouldn't move around—"

Yunhan lay on Anlan's chest, her snow-white skin faintly visible beneath the red robe.

She closed her eyes, feeling the man's body temperature, and slowly, slowly, she actually hummed softly in contentment, as if she were taking a nap.

This man...

It makes her feel relaxed and comfortable.

An Lan didn't actually do anything; she just watched the favorability rating increase by [+1]...[+1]...[+1]...

Finally, it settled at point [30].

He hesitated, but still didn't dare to be too intimate.

Firstly, I was afraid that this would affect my public image.

Secondly...

Where is Yang Zhenzhen?

Will Yang Zhenzhen suddenly jump out and squeeze into this coffin as well?

Fortunately...

They waited for quite a while, but Yang Zhenzhen's voice didn't come out at all.

An Lan guessed: It seems that once you enter the new instance, characters from the previous instance won't have the right to appear in this one. After all, this isn't Yang Zhenzhen's home turf...

"That..."

"system!"

"Play CG!"

Loading...

In a warm, pink bedroom, a little girl lies on her bed, holding a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems." She seems to have a fever; her face is flushed with confusion.

"dad..."

Why is it that we raise our heads to gaze at the bright moon, then lower them to think of our hometown...?

The little girl looked at the man standing before the bed, a man with glasses and gentle features. The man smiled and said, "Because...when you reach a certain age and experience certain things, you realize that the home you once took for granted...was so warm and cozy..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Hanhan, you're still young, it's normal that you don't understand these things... When you grow up, you'll naturally..."

"Ah! No! Dad... I hope you never understand the meaning of this poem... Dad, I hope you'll always be happy and always be by Mom and Dad's side..."

"Oh! Hanhan knows..."

"Buzz—"

As fragments of images flashed through her mind, An Lan's expression grew increasingly grim.

From what I remember, Yunhan's family was not poor when she was a child.

Furthermore, her father seemed to be a very cultured man; there was no way he would send his child here!

So...

There's only one answer!

They were trafficked by human traffickers!!!

"Tsk..."

"What a disgusting village..."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and An Lan noticed a sudden dampness on his chest. He looked up and saw that Yun Han seemed to be crying... the glistening tears warmed his chest...

......

the other side.

On the coffin lid.

At this moment, the entire [Joint Burial Village] seemed to be on fast-forward!

Since the coffin was buried, the people in the courtyard have been flashing and disappearing. The middle-aged man and woman paused, then merged with the figures on the tombstones, becoming two tombstones in the center of the courtyard...

"Rat-a-tat-tat—"

"Rat-a-tat-tat—"

Within the "joint burial village," tombstones are springing up like wildfire in every household's courtyard. Even the two gatekeepers at the village entrance are turning into tombstones...

The village seems to have entered a peculiar mode...

......

"Hmm!"

"It's coming!"

suddenly!

Yunhan, who was sleeping in Anlan's arms, opened her eyes and looked at Anlan in a panic. Her red robe began to turn to ash, and beneath the robe were white bones whose flesh and blood had melted away!

"Um?"

"What's coming?"

An Lan looked at her, puzzled. Yun Han pursed her lips, and her slender fingers, with their pitted nails, pierced An Lan's arm, slowly carving a spiral symbol on it...

"What...what does this mean?"

"you..."

"If you can understand..."

"Click-click-click—click-click-click—"

Before the other person could finish speaking, An Lan's back began to twist and deform! A stone tablet instantly burst forth from his back, smashing the male corpse to pieces. At the same time, a stone figure, An Lan, emerged from the tombstone, grinning maliciously at him...

An Lan's consciousness vanished instantly...

......

A short while later.

The world before her eyes began to brighten, and under the brilliant sunlight, An Lan stood blankly in a vibrant little courtyard.

Chickens and ducks roamed freely in the courtyard, overgrown with green grass. Beyond the courtyard, stone-paved paths led in all directions. Wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of neighboring houses, and the sounds of laughter and conversation drifted through the air...

"Um?!"

An Lan was stunned.

"Huh? This is the [Joint Burial Village]?!"

Along with Mo Han and the other two who came out of the kitchen in the courtyard, they all stared blankly at the scene before them, completely bewildered!

them...

What happened?

Anlan's memories were somewhat chaotic. She only remembered the time the four of them drove together to the entrance of the "Joint Burial Village," and after that, she couldn't remember anything else...

The same applies to Mo Han and the other two.

So, the four of them stared blankly for a while, subconsciously assuming that this was what the village looked like after entering Shipai.

"This...isn't something like this?"

Mo Han was the first to come to his senses. He squinted, scanning the village under the clear blue sky, but couldn't detect anything unusual. His brow furrowed slightly; although he had no memory of what happened afterward, he still retained his memories of what happened before he came to the village!

"That doesn't make sense..."

"I remember when I simulated the village entrance, there was a gatekeeper segment..."

"But...why...did we suddenly appear in the village?"

Completely baffled, Mo Han subconsciously closed his eyes, still wanting to activate [Echoes of the Future].

Can...

No matter how he closed his eyes or moved his ears, he couldn't hear a single echo!

"Damn it!"

"What...what about my abilities?!"

"My abilities have disappeared?!"

His face turned pale instantly. After his proud [Echo of the Future] became ineffective, Mo Han was more vulnerable than anyone else and immediately grabbed Tie Shan's shoulder!

"Iron Mountain! Iron Mountain!"

"And you?! What about your abilities?!"

"..."

"It seems... my body is becoming weak... I have no strength..."

"I'm incapable now!"

Tieshan responded in a deep voice, shielding Mo Han behind him, and looking around warily.

"Wait... me too..."

Liu Xuan also came to her senses and looked around uneasily.

Only An Lan, strangely sensing the countdown of [Mirror Flower Water Moon], looked puzzled.

[Skill: Mirror Flower Water Moon]

[Remaining cooldown: 22:01:32...]

"Um?"

"When did I use the skill?"

"I remember my skills were off cooldown before I came here..."

He frowned, and he and the other three cautiously looked around for a while. A gentle afternoon breeze blew by, the sun shone brightly, and the sounds of chickens and ducks drifted in, carrying the tranquility unique to the small village...

This continued for quite a while, with only warmth permeating the air.

Mo Han slowly emerged from behind Tie Shan, his expression increasingly suspicious: "Wait a minute... this is the [Joint Burial Village]? Wasn't it said that everyone who comes here dies in waves?"

"But..."

"here?"

Looking at the peaceful village, Mo Han never imagined that this village could be a place where people could eat each other.

"or..."

"Shall we go out and check it out?"

Liu Xuan mustered her courage and stepped out of the small courtyard, gazing at the surrounding courtyards.

"Alright!"

"Hey! An Lan...you're on my team!"

"Your [talent level] is the weakest, I'll protect you!"

Mo Han subconsciously called out to An Lan, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"You two? When did you become so close?"

Liu Xuan looked at Mo Han, confused. Mo Han didn't say anything, but kept urging An Lan, "Hurry up! I'm your superior! Do you think I can protect just anyone?"

He raised his chin, assuming that An Lan would definitely agree.

The reason Mo Han is teaming up with An Lan now is because she's scared!

If his talent disappears, what can he do?

but!

He retained his memories from before entering the village, so he clearly remembered: only An Lan! Only this person's voice remained in the simulation! Therefore... staying by An Lan's side was the safest option now; whatever An Lan did, he would do too!

This is the method with the highest probability of survival!

Even Tieshan doesn't prioritize its own safety as much as Anlan!

"you?"

An Lan couldn't understand why Mo Han's attitude had changed. He only remembered that he and Yang Zhenzhen had once guessed that the other party's ability seemed to require him to verify or activate it.

"That's strange..."

"Hasn't he lost his abilities?"

"What else do you want from me?"

An Lan frowned, just about to follow the others out of the courtyard.

"drive--"

"drive--"

"drive--"

suddenly!

Right there in the main house of this small courtyard, a dark-skinned, thin child is riding on the back of a little girl with an unfriendly expression!

He whipped the girl's face with a willow branch, rode her like a horse, and urged her on, "Hurry up! Climb faster!"

"Hmm..."

"Waaaaah—"

The girl kneeling on the ground had tears streaming down her face. She must have cried countless times. Her face was dry, wrinkled, and haggard.

Her knees and elbows were covered in purplish-red scrapes, and her beautiful dress was torn and shredded. She knelt on the ground, sobbing softly...

"Hurry up!"

"Move faster!!!"

The little boy was still urging her on when, with a "smack," the willow branch flicked the little girl's nose, causing it to bleed.

"Waaaaah..."

"Daddy...Daddy...Mommy...Mommy..."

"Hurry up! If you don't move, you won't get any food tonight!"

The little boy raised his hand, wanting to draw again!

"Oh shit!!!"

"Stop it right now!!!"

An Lan couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed to the threshold in a few steps and knocked the little boy on the girl's back, causing him to fall to the ground and knock out his front teeth.

"You! You—"

"ah!!!"

"Dad! Mom! Someone's bullying me!!!"

The little boy's lip bled from the fall, and he immediately started whimpering.

But An Lan ignored him and stared intently at the sobbing little girl.

because!

Right above this little girl's head, a heart is beating!
