I'm not a drama god

72 hours after the earthquake, there was only one casualty and people were rescued.

For the search and rescue team, this is a miracle they will never forget in their lifetime. They will also never forget the masked, unharmed boy who was dug out from under the boulder...

Even with such a huge rock pressing down on him, his body was as still as steel. Even when he was discovered, his chest was shaking slightly as he breathed, along with the rock and other debris, and there was not even a trace of dust on his body.

What was even more impressive was the mask on his face. His mask was so ferocious and terrifying, like a demon, that the rescue team members dared not approach him, and the god of death retreated away.

When the rescue team leader mustered up the courage to take off the mask, the eerie atmosphere gradually dissipated, and the sleeping face of the young boy was bathed in the sunlight again.

At this moment, Chen Ling only felt that the surrounding environment began to break apart, and a familiar feeling of dizziness surged into his heart!

……

Rumbling--

The train hummed through a tunnel, light and shadows intertwined outside the window, and Chen Ling suddenly woke up.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Nan saw Chen Ling staring at the mask in a daze and asked puzzledly.

"..."

Chen Ling took a deep breath and moved his eyes away from the Nuo mask. He carefully looked at the young man Shen Nan, and his facial features slowly overlapped with the young man.

"Nothing." Chen Ling rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, "I'm just a little tired."

Shen Nan put away the Nuo mask on the table and looked out the window:

"You can sleep for a while. This place is still some distance from Guanzhou."

"No, you can't go to bed now."

"What else do you want?"

Under Shen Nan's puzzled gaze, Chen Ling raised her hand and called a flight attendant, and spoke seriously:

"Hello, give me two servings of fried rice."

"Okay, sir."

Shen Nan was stunned and waved his hands subconsciously, "I don't eat fried rice... Do you have instant noodles? Just give me one serving of instant noodles."

Chen Ling glanced at him expressionlessly, hesitated for a moment, then turned to the flight attendant and said:

"Two servings of fried rice and one serving of instant noodles, thank you."

Shen Nan: ...

……

The train that Chen Ling took did not go directly to Guanzhou.

According to the route arranged by Shen Nan, after getting off at a certain station, they bought tickets and took an old-fashioned bus, heading towards the rugged mountain road.

After a long and bumpy journey, Chen Ling and her friend slowly got out of the car beside the road in a small town.

There is no platform here, not even any signs. Outside the highway is an endless field of rapeseed flowers. A gravel-paved branch road extends from the side of the road, as if leading to a village.

"Can't you fly? Why do you have to take a car?" Chen Ling looked at the time and couldn't help but say, "We can just fly here on the wind, which can save at least half the time."

"I'm not like you. My power is not so easy to activate." Shen Nan replied helplessly.

"I've said before that the essence of Nuo is to transform into a god and respond to other people's prayers... If no one is praying around me, I have to finish a prayer myself first. Otherwise, if I put on the mask rashly, I'll have to lie down for several days."

Chen Ling sighed. Although Shen Nan's power was strong and seemingly omnipotent, his limitations were not small... Apart from anything else, it was very inconvenient to travel quickly. If it was Chen Ling himself, it wouldn't take long to get here by stepping on the cloud.

On a road with almost no cars passing by, Chen Ling and Shen Nan crossed the road and walked along the winding fork road for a long time. The outline of the village was getting closer and closer.

Smoke rose from the houses in the village. There were almost no young people here, only old people or children under ten years old. They sat in the open space in front of their homes, chatting while watching Chen Ling and Shen Nan pass by their homes, and then whispering something in confusion.

"I haven't been back here for a long time, and it has changed a lot." Shen Nan looked around, "The road has been widened, and cement has been poured in front of every house... It seems that the pond has also been contracted out."

"Yeah, even the open space for bonfires has become a parking lot."

"???"

Shen Nan looked at Chen Ling in astonishment, "How did you know?"

Of course Chen Ling knew, he had seen with his own eyes what this place looked like in the past, and he had also seen the scene of him and his son making masks by the campfire more than ten years ago... Facing Shen Nan's horrified look, Chen Ling just smiled mysteriously.

"you guess?"

"..."

Shen Nan stared at Chen Ling, his expression suddenly became extremely wonderful.

"I have some special abilities, and I can occasionally see the past of a place." Chen Ling felt that if he didn't explain it, this guy wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so he naturally changed the subject.

"These villagers have been staring at us. Did they recognize you?"

"Probably not. I was still a child when I left. Now I have changed so much that they can't recognize me."

Shen Nan stared at Chen Ling suspiciously for a long time before moving his eyes away. The two finally came to a small rural house. The house had two floors, and the facade was shabby and old. There was a small rugged open space in front, and further ahead was a barren vegetable field. Judging from the vegetable field and the wooden frame covered with cobwebs at the door, no one had lived here for a long time.

"Is this your hometown?"

"Well, I've lived here since I was a child. Later, because he needed me to see a doctor, my father moved me to another place... But over the years, this old house has never been sold."

Shen Nan took out the key from his pocket and tried to insert it into the rusty door lock for a long time, but he couldn't get it in. Finally, he applied a little force with his fingers, and the key head broke in half in the door lock.

Shen Nan: ...

Just as he was scratching his head, a hand casually touched the door lock, and the rusty door lock was instantly reshaped and opened automatically with a click.

Shen Nan turned his head to look beside him, only to see Chen Ling wearing a coat, with his hands spread out, making a look at him that said "Is it that difficult?"

"The house is a bit old, and I don't think it's suitable for living... Let's go in and take a look first."

Shen Nan pushed open the door.

Amidst a sharp creaking sound, the smell of old wood mixed with dust blew in their faces. The dust visible to the naked eye swept across the two of them like waves, and they both raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses at the same time.

Although it is an old house, the lighting is quite good. The sun shines through the dense spider webs and onto the dusty table and floor. Messy sundries are placed in the corners of the house, and you can even see a few mice wandering around...

"So, you brought me all the way here. How do you plan to solve the problem of two souls in one body?"

Chen Ling glanced at the old house and couldn't help asking.

Shen Nan walked into the room and rummaged through the pile of junk in the corner for a long time. He took out some tools of various shapes and put them all on the dusty table.

"It is very difficult to solve the problem of two souls in one body, but it is also easy. All you need is..."

He raised his hand and pointed at the opposite wall. There were several old Nuo masks hanging silently on the wall.

"As long as you can become a [Nuo] too."
