I'm not a drama god

A loud thunderous sound rang in the child's ears, and his consciousness disappeared instantly, and he fell headfirst onto the cart.

The rain flowed along Shen Nan's fingertips, his palm still maintained a stroking posture, the hideous mask stared at the fainted child, looking ferocious and terrifying.

“Oda!!”

Seeing this, the woman who was still kneeling and bowing screamed, stumbled to her feet and ran over here.

Shen Nan slowly withdrew his hand, glanced at the woman running towards him with the ferocious mask on, and then he stood on tiptoe and swayed again, like a drunk dancer, carrying a flag and jumping away.

The woman lifted the child from the cart in fear and took off the sack and quilt from him. When she saw the scene in front of her, she suddenly froze in place.

The huge tumor that was originally growing on the back of the child's head had disappeared at some point, as if an invisible giant hand had completely smoothed it out... At the same time, the child's originally skinny body began to regain color visibly!

The raindrops dripped across the child's skin like pearls falling from the sky. The woman stared at the scene blankly, holding his body with trembling hands, as if she was dreaming.

"Mom..." A soft whisper came from her arms, like a flash of lightning, striking the woman's mind.

She suddenly came to her senses, held the child and looked towards a certain direction in the rain, then fell to her knees with a thud, banging her forehead against the ground again and again.

bang bang bang-

The sound of the woman's kowtow was drowned in the rain, and the blood did not stop flowing from her forehead.

At the end of the misty street, a figure in black and red costume was dancing with flags waving, like a god who came to the human world for fun and then died laughing.

……

Under the dripping eaves, Shen Nan slowly took off his Nuo mask.

Although he only wore the mask for a few minutes this time, Shen Nan's face was already as pale as paper. He let out a long breath and looked back.

"How's it going? Do you see clearly?"

A figure in a coat came under the eaves at some point and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Shen Nan showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"Didn't you see it clearly? This dance is really too complicated... We'll do it next time..."

"I see it clearly." Chen Ling spoke slowly.

“This dance is not difficult for me.”

Shen Nan: ...

Chen Ling was telling the truth. He had the foundation laid by the ancient Tibetan opera, so this kind of physical exercise was not a difficult thing... The reason why he was silent was that he saw the shadow of his father saving him in the action of Shen Nan saving the child just now.

"So, you usually use the power of [Nuo] to do these things?"

"Basically, I don't like fighting, and usually no one will pick a fight with me..." Shen Nan lowered his head and looked at the Nuo mask in his hand, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"Besides, perhaps no one else in this world can do this except me."

Shen Nan is the only Nuo in the world, and the only one who can bring down miracles. If he doesn't do something, some people will lose the possibility of living forever... Compared to killing people, Shen Nan hopes to use his power to save people.

"But you are just an ordinary person in essence." Chen Ling's secret pupils stared at Shen Nan's cheek.

"Put on the mask and you will become a 'god'... This is a gift, but also a pressure. Excessive use of the power of [Nuo] will put too much burden on your body... Short life, sudden death, premature aging, one of them will always befall you."

"I know."

"Then you should cherish your life and use less of the power of [Nuo]."

"But I will die of old age sooner or later, won't I? Instead of pretending that I didn't see anything, I might as well make my limited life more meaningful... Perhaps this is why God let me survive."

Shen Nan gripped the mask harder and harder. He seemed to recall something, and his eyes were complicated.

"Besides, if my power alone is limited...then it would be nice if there was one more Nuo in this world."

"So, when you came after me, you had already decided to make me a Nuo?" Chen Ling's eyebrows slightly raised, and everything connected.

“No wonder you offered to help me solve the problem of two souls in one body, and brought me all the way here to make masks and teach me sacrificial dances.

From the beginning, you saw the 'drama' and 'witch' in me... You actually did not ask for nothing. You wanted the world to have a second Nuo, so that after your untimely death, this path would not be completely forgotten."

Shen Nan did not deny it. He looked into Chen Ling's eyes and smiled slightly.

Chen Ling sighed helplessly.

Although Shen Nan approached him with ulterior motives, in the final analysis, Shen Nan's purpose was pure and selfless. He could indeed solve the problem of two souls in one body, but he hoped that at the same time, he could also pass on [Nuo].

Chen Ling was not at all annoyed by the conspiracy. Instead, she admired Shen Nan even more. In this peaceful age where everyone is obsessed with their own interests, it is indeed a blessing for mankind to have a person like Shen Nan.

"I can try, but I still say that... I can't guarantee that I can do it. After all, there are still differences between you and me."

"I know that your Drama God Way is twisted." Shen Nan nodded slightly, "In fact, I have always been curious. What I call 'twisted God Way' is actually just a combination of two God Ways, which is not really twisted... But your Drama God Way really exudes weirdness from beginning to end."

Shen Nan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Can yours really be considered 'Shinto'?"

"…My situation is rather special."

Chen Ling could only speak vaguely. It was not that he did not want to explain, but he himself was not quite clear about what his twisted Shinto was all about.

Shen Nan did not ask any further questions. He and Chen Ling returned to the open space in front of the dilapidated house. The rain had subsided a lot by then.

Chen Ling glanced at the dim sky and checked the remaining time in his time save:

——00:09:32.

There are less than ten minutes left...

"Since you have remembered everything, let's try it." Shen Nan looked at Chen Ling expectantly, "Put on the mask and dance like I did just now. Then, while sensing the descent of the gods, introduce the second soul into the Nuo mask."

Shen Nan spent so much effort to bring Chen Ling here just to witness the birth of the second Nuo. In a sense, he even wanted Chen Ling to succeed more than Chen Ling herself.

Yang Xiao and others also turned to look at Chen Ling at the same time, seeming a little curious.

Chen Ling looked at the black and white mask in her hand, took a deep breath, and slowly put it on her face...
