I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

“Okay, okay!”

"Well, then, let's split up."

After nodding to Fina, Ella gave Fina permission to use her ability to pass through walls - this was a suggestion Patricia made to Ella after thinking about it for a long time. There was no one living in the original mansion, so it didn't matter if the ghost girls ignored the walls and passed through. But now that they have their own space, it would be too inappropriate to pass in and out casually, so Patricia gave the ghost girls a ban that they must knock on the door when entering and leaving the room, and they are not allowed to pass through the walls unless it is a critical moment.

After Fina and the other two disappeared from the ceiling of the bathhouse, Ella used her ability to quickly change clothes when switching roles to quickly change clothes and picked up the wing-shaped pendant around her neck.

"Eve, ghost."

With the ability to transform into a ghost and pass through walls at will, tracking or escaping would be very easy, which is just right for use here.

However, the reality was different from what she had imagined. Her body did not turn into a translucent purple, and there was no response from the pendant. After hesitating for a moment, Ella suddenly remembered the reason and showed a surprised expression.

"Ah...Eve ran out on her own in the afternoon..."

Although Eve had slept in the pendant for two days due to purifying a large number of undead in the underground tower and upgrading too quickly, she also had a large degree of free space to move around. Now, even if Eve ran to a place three thousand yards away from her, her magic power would not decline rapidly.

Of course, although she said she ran out, Eve actually didn't do anything like playing. If she had to say it, it felt like she was praying or thinking about something, such as standing in front of a flower bush for an entire afternoon, or wandering around a house aimlessly. Considering that Eve might have done this because she was reminded of the past and found some memories, Ella didn't pay too much attention to it. She just used "Terrain Search" every once in a while to see where Eve had run to.

"Well, it doesn't matter if there's nothing there. Terrain Search."

A glowing cyan map instantly unfolded in front of her, and Ella began to search for unmarked spots of light on it. In this mansion, the guards, ghost girls, and ordinary hired servants were all marked with special colors by her. In addition, Lotte and the others also had special symbols for their friends, so if any outsiders came in, they would be easily discovered by her.

but.

"Eh? No?"

There was no one in the mansion that he didn't know, even if he changed the search criteria.

"Did he run away? Only Fukagan could have escaped so quietly in such a short time..."

Although the number of guards in the mansion was not large, most of them were undead and would not get tired or exhausted, so they were more reliable than normal human guards. In addition, they were all carefully selected by Camisia. It was almost impossible to sneak out of the mansion while surrounded by them without spending a considerable amount of time investigating and hiding.

However, what we are talking about here is a general theory, under the premise that the other party is an ordinary creature. If the other party is a ghost like a ghost, it may be unexpectedly easy for it to enter and exit, such as attaching itself to objects, or quietly climbing onto the shoulders of other people after becoming invisible. Since it is a completely different concept, it is impossible to imagine it at all. Just like the setting of comics with ghosts and gods as the theme, if you do not use the corresponding special eyes or magic circles to observe, even if the other party is actually right in front of you, you will not be able to see the other party.

However, in this case, it is difficult to understand what the ghost girls and the neighbors said about seeing a white ghost. The only explanation is that this ghost has a naughty character and enjoys scaring others.

"You could have left it alone, but you deliberately frightened those children... What a wicked person."

Chapter 71: Strange Stories of the White Ghost (Part 2)

Clicking her lips, Ella, who had already put on her coat, opened the door. Since the other party could only be seen with the eyes, she only needed to search the mansion carefully. If that didn't work, she would simply follow the ghost children quietly near the other party and wait for the other party to appear before giving them divine punishment.

Considering that if they searched from upstairs to downstairs, the other party might escape from the exit on the first floor, Ella went straight to the main door on the first floor and started searching upwards layer by layer.

"Thinking of jumping out of the window is too naive. The security net set up by Camisia will definitely find you immediately."

With a confident hum, Ella, who had already arrived in the living room on the first floor, clapped her hands and turned on the magic lamp. Now everyone was in their respective rooms, and there was no one else in the hall except herself who had just arrived.

Glancing around, Ella frowned.

"No... Then let's go to the next place. As for the magic lamp... let's just leave it lit like this."

I was not completely confident about catching the ghost. If I acted without turning on the light, I would always feel resistance in my heart, as if the ghost would jump out from behind me or from the shadow of the sofa in the next second. So I could only search with the light on all the time.

"Tsk, where did you go?"

Even though he had searched the entire first and second floors—including unused rooms and warehouses—he still hadn't seen any trace of the "white ghost" Fina had mentioned.

"It can only be the third floor... I have a bad feeling."

According to the layout of the mansion, the first floor is used for receiving guests, dining and daily living, while the second floor is the residence of ordinary servants, guards and ghost girls, and the third floor is the room for themselves and their group.

Since the rooms on the third floor are generally large, there are relatively few of them. Once my group moved in, there were no extra rooms left. So, assuming the ghost hadn't escaped the mansion, if it wasn't in the corridor, it must be in someone's room, and that room could only be my room - Lotte and the others were all staying in the house, so it was impossible for the ghost to go in.

"I don't really want that outcome..."

If you see a ghost in your room, you will never want to sleep in your room again, just like if you find a centipede on your bed, you will not be able to sleep well all night.

"If this is true, I'll have to go to someone else's room from now on... Hey, what's the point of this subtle feeling of anticipation?!"

Suppressing the improper thoughts in her heart, Ella turned her attention back to the "White Ghost". She stepped onto the last step carefully and cautiously, trying not to make any noise, and finally cast her sights on the unobstructed corridor.

——The answer is that there is nothing strange.

“No… No way…”

Ella couldn't help but feel her throat getting dry, and she swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva. If the other person wasn't in the corridor, it meant that he must be in her room - exactly the situation she least wanted to see.

"Ahh! Even if we don't care now, we'll have to go in there later anyway, so we might as well get it over with."

Scratching her head in distress, Ella moved slowly, step by step, close to the wall. Anyone who came could be sure that if the guards saw her like this, she would definitely be arrested as a thief. But for Ella, it was safer to approach slowly in an embarrassing manner rather than being discovered by the ghost.

"Hmm... surely there will be a sound when the door opens... It would be nice if I could 'ghost transform'."

Expecting something that wasn't at hand would only be a waste of time, so Ella quickly discarded the idea, placed both hands on the door handle, and twisted it slowly with the lightest force.

Click.

【Tsk. 】

Although she had used the lightest force, the sound of metal biting still appeared in the room. Hoping that the other party didn't hear it, Ella bent down and slowly pushed the door open.

——The dark room was illuminated by the projected moonlight. With the help of the faint light, I could see a white object standing by the window, floating continuously. It was shorter than me overall. The white thing looked like a curtain or a bed sheet, but it was certain that it was not the result of wind. If I had to describe it, it looked a bit like a weather doll, except that the head was not so obvious.

"Low-level appraiser—Eh!"

Just as Ella was about to use the identification skill, the other party turned around - although it had no eyes, Ella had this intuition, and the other party turned around and looked at her - and slowly floated towards her.

Her inner vigilance reached its peak in an instant, and her pupils shrank in an instant. Ella couldn't help but take a step back, and the wooden door was completely opened because she let go.

Ignoring Ella's reaction, the white ghost still slowly floated towards Ella. No, to be precise, it was not slowly, but gradually accelerating.

【I’m coming! 】

thump.

By the time he noticed, his back was already leaning against the wall of the corridor behind him, and the white ghost in front of him was rapidly enlarging, obviously trying to pounce on him.

Obviously, the hope of escape was almost slim. For the sake of self-protection, Ella immediately took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment from the warehouse. In her impression, the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment was a sacred equipment and should be very useful against ghosts.

The flash of gold in her hand gave Ella a little courage back. Closing her eyes, Ella swung the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment from right to left at the opponent with all her might. The speed was so fast that even the sound of a blunt weapon being swung could be heard in the air.

"Don't push your luck, you bastard!"

call--

There was no real feeling of hitting an object in her hand, but the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment did swing from the right to the left. The strange feeling made Ella open her eyes.

In his field of vision, white fabric was wrapped around the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment, and the "white ghost" standing before him had transformed into the young form of Eve.

"Eh?"

"Ella, it hurts."

Although her face showed no expression and she didn't make any gesture that looked painful, Eve still declared this to Ella. Judging from the fact that she changed her address from "Master" to "Ella", perhaps Eve was really a little angry.

Just like a child who was caught stealing snacks by an adult, Ella froze in place. It took her a full ten seconds to react, and she awkwardly put the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment into storage.

"Uh, uh, eh...wait, could it be that Eve is the white ghost Fina mentioned?"

"It's a ghost."

"That's not what I meant! The person wearing this just now was Eve, right?"

Ella waved the white fabric in her hand towards Eve.

"Yes, Master's bed sheet."

"Eh? Mine? I have many other questions, but why are they my sheets?"

"Body, clothes."

Eve pointed at herself with an emotionless expression. Now, after Ella had snatched the bed sheet away from her, Eve was completely naked, just like she was at the beginning. Under the moonlight, her petite body looked exceptionally charming, giving off an indescribable sense of guilt.

"Huh? Can you be more specific?"

Click, click.

Perhaps because they heard the noise outside, the sound of doorknobs turning could be heard in the rooms on the third floor one after another, and the first one to rush out was Lotte.

"Miss Ella?"

You can clearly feel the change in tone of Ruti's last word.

"Xiao Ai...La?"

"Wow, Aira-chan made Eve-chan so small and made her stand outside naked. What a weird hobby."

"Senior, you really have no shame."

"Princess, so you like this type of thing? I'll keep it in mind."

No one was left out, everyone gathered around Ella, and things went in a completely different direction.

As if she had suffered a huge blow, Ella stood there for a long time, until Eve patted her on the shoulder, Ella came back to her senses.

"Wait, wait, you've got it all wrong!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Iris, stop misleading others!"

After Ella finished explaining to everyone and brought Eve back to the room, Ella finally understood the reason why Eve did this - she couldn't wear clothes as a little girl, so in order to go out, she could only wear clothes with the scent of Ella, the owner of the Holy Light Staff. However, since Ella's clothes were usually picked up by Lotte first, Eve could only drape the bed sheet over herself. Hence, there was the white ghost incident that the ghost girls talked about, and this was also the reason why the "Terrain Search" could not search for unmarked targets.

Of course, all this was only known after Ella finished explaining. As for the fact that the explanation process lasted until the second half of the night due to Iris's misleading, that is something that happened later.

Chapter 72: The Crusade Begins

*Genesis 6187 March 10th at 07:34 AM, entrance to the underground tower of Morabi City

A team of nearly a thousand people lined up in the square at the entrance of the underground tower. In addition to the ordinary soldiers wearing standard equipment, there were also several adventurers dressed strangely. These people stood together with serious expressions, making people feel fearful and afraid to look directly at them. Presumably, even the orichalcum-level monsters would carefully consider the cost before attacking.

Because she got up too early, Ella, who was also standing in the line, couldn't help but yawn.

"Ha~ah——Saidler isn't done yet?"

"It should be over soon, Miss Ella, you've been a little too relaxed."

Reminding Ella, Lotte stood on tiptoe and glanced at Sadler who was giving a speech at the front of the team.

According to the plan, today is the day when everyone goes underground to fight against the undead. Of course, only the adventurers and some soldiers present know about this. In fact, Sadler's statement to the outside world is just that they are going to fight the bandits, and he didn't mention a word about the undead.

"That guy really went to great lengths for the undead. He chose this place to give his speech, deliberately spreading false information to the general public. Well, there's nothing wrong with that."

While listening to Sadler's spitting incitement in front of her, Iris waved her hand and looked very casual. Although originally arranged that only Luty and Camisia would accompany her, Iris later learned that the target of the expedition was an unknown object existing underground. With the mentality of killing time, all members of the Branch of Disaster joined the expedition team together.

Camisia, who was standing next to Iris, nodded.

"Indeed, this will prevent panic, and even if we fail to subjugate the undead, the common people won't notice."

"Well, according to Sadler, we just need to eliminate the small fry, and the ruler of the undead will be left to those guys over there."

While speaking, Ella pointed to the most conspicuous team in front of the team. They were the orichalcum-level adventurers invited by Sadler, and they were also Sadler's biggest trump card. With them, even if the opponent was a monster close to the quasi-hero realm, he would have a certain chance of winning. Of course, casualties were not counted separately.

Most of the soldiers standing in the square now are only responsible for the baggage, and the actual fighting will all be carried out by the hired adventurers. According to Sadler's idea, the environment in the underground tower is complex and not suitable for group combat. Instead of sending all the city defense forces to participate in the expedition, it is better to let adventurers who can adapt to a changing environment serve as the main force. Besides, the opponent must have powerful magic, and sending too many people will only increase the losses in vain.

"...Say something like that before going into battle, I feel like you're raising an incredible flag."

"Really? Ah, it's almost over, let's get ready."

"Anyway, with Camisia-senpai here, nothing should go wrong."

Sadler's speech was about to end with Shen Gan's words.

“…Today, on behalf of the One and Only God, we will bring down divine punishment upon the evildoers of the underworld. I can assure you that from now on, lasting peace will prevail!”

“““Ohhhh!”””

To fan the atmosphere to the highest point, Sadler opened his arms and looked very sincere. From a politician's perspective, Sadler was a pretty good city lord.

Looking at the people around him with satisfaction, Sadler waved his right hand vigorously.

"Then, the subjugation begins."

……

Without encountering any obstruction, the group quickly entered the underground tower. Perhaps sensing the uniqueness of their team, no monster dared to attack this expeditionary force of nearly 300 people until they reached the seventh underground floor. The other 700 people were the baggage train, stationed at the key entrance to the maze.

After greeting the main group of Orichalcum-ranked adventurers, Sadler slowly walked to the back of the group and began to greet the adventurers one by one. Although the passages in the underground tower were sometimes very narrow and difficult to move around, as the team's commander, it was very necessary to confirm the status of his companions.
