System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Lu Nanyin: "Ah! What do you mean?"

Ling Yin glanced at Chu Lingxian, smiled mysteriously at her, and left with the animals.

Chu Lingxian watched Ling Yin's back speechlessly as he disappeared into the darkness.

The rain slowly stopped, and Chu Lingxian took Lu Nanyin back to the yard. Along the way, the two of them didn't speak. Lu Nanyin kept thinking about what Lingyin said, "Don't talk about feelings with ghosts and gods." Why?

She remembered that Chu Lingxian seemed to be a ghost! Doesn't that mean...

Lu Nanyin was rocking in the rocking chair holding Mi Li, guessing various reasons in her mind.

Chu Lingxian poured a glass of water and placed it on the table next to her.

"You don't have to care about what she said." Lu Nanyin looked up at Chu Lingxian who was standing beside the rocking chair and looking at her. "Why don't you talk about feelings with ghosts and gods?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Chu Lingxian asked.

"Of course!" Lu Nanyin stood up and met her gaze. She felt an indescribable emotion in her eyes, a little sad, a little helpless, and a little fortunate.

"This sentence is a warning to humans. Ghosts are humans who have passed away. They may forget everything and reincarnate at any time. As for gods, humans have short lifespans and cannot accompany them until old age. Moreover..."

"What's more?" Lu Nanyin asked anxiously.

Chu Lingxian smiled and said, "What's more, gods and humans are not in the same class. Due to various reasons, the final result is that they will never meet again."

"What about you? Aren't you also... a ghost?" Lu Nanyin lowered her head and touched the rice grains in her arms, her eyes a little moist.

Chu Lingxian squatted in front of her, "These things are a warning to mankind, Lu Nanyin, you already know those things, do you think you are an ordinary person?"

Lu Nanyin raised her head, "Those were the dreams I had before, the very real dreams!" Chu Lingxian held her hand and kept looking at her, "Could it be that everything in the dream is... real?"

"Although I don't know what your dream was like, but since you told me about the little bun, I know that your dream was just a sealed memory."

Lu Nanyin smiled, "I had a dream, and when I woke up I was wondering if you would ask me what kind of dream I had, but it seems that you should have known it a long time ago, right?"

"Nanyin, I can read minds. This is not a prop, but a natural ability that our family is born with. It will awaken at a certain time, so..."

Lu Nanyin stared at her with eyes wide open, and took a little time to digest Chu Lingxian's words, "Mind reading! Your clan? You are not...human?"

Lu Nanyin spoke tentatively, and Chu Lingxian looked at her and nodded.

"Ah? Then you are..." Lu Nanyin suddenly thought of the scene in her dream. Chu Lingxian seemed to have a fish tail.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at her lower body. Chu Lingxian noticed her gaze, bent down, held her face and told her: "Lu Nanyin, listen carefully, I am a mermaid, living in the sea, but for some reasons, now I have to live on land, and... I have things I need to do. I can't tell you until you recover all your memories, but please believe me, I will never lie to you. Now ask whatever you want, I will tell you everything I can."

Lu Nanyin made some space for Chu Lingxian, pulled her to lie on the rocking chair, then she leaned in her arms and asked what she wanted to know.

Lu Nanyin: "When we first met, you said it was because I had a boyfriend here. Is that true?"

Chu Lingxian smiled and said, "Of course it's true, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find you."

Lu Nanyin: "Why? I remember the thing you were talking about was a pearl, right?"

Chu Lingxian: "You should have heard that mermaid tears can turn into pearls, right?"

Lu Nanyin nodded, "I've heard of it. Could it be that the pearl is your tear?"

Chu Lingxian: "Yes and not entirely. That pearl was created by the mermaid's spiritual power. It is a little bigger, more transparent and rounder than the one created by tears. The more spiritual power is injected, the bigger and rounder the pearl will be."

Lu Nanyin nodded in understanding, "Is that so? Then how big is your pearl?"

Chu Lingxian: "That pearl contains all my spiritual power."

Lu Nanyin sat up and looked at her in surprise, "All?"

Chu Lingxian looked at her calmly, stretched out his hand to press her back into his arms, and hugged her tightly, "Yes, all."

Lu Nanyin: "Where is the pearl now?"

Chu Lingxian tapped her forehead and said, "I'll tell you when the time comes."

Lu Nanyin: "In the first instance, I believe you pulled me in to save me, but what happened afterwards? How did you get into the subsequent instances? It felt like you were in a new place in the blink of an eye."

Chu Lingxian: "The conditions for triggering each dungeon are different, and there is no pattern to be found, but the common feature is that people have died in them."

Lu Nanyin: "People have died before. Could it be that they are filled with resentment and have created a new parallel world (duplicate world) to do evil?"

Chu Lingxian touched her head. "It's unlikely. Although evil ghosts are scary, they don't have the ability to recreate a new world."

Lu Nanyin thought of the last copy and was a little confused. "What about the last copy? Wasn't that the novel I wrote? How did it become a copy?"

Chu Lingxian shook his head, "I don't know about that either."

Lu Nanyin sighed and looked up at Chu Lingxian, but from her perspective, she could only see Chu Lingxian's profile, and she was looking up at him.

"Chu Lingxian, how did you become a ghost?"

"Hmm?" Chu Lingxian lowered his head slightly, looked at her sideways, and met her gaze.

Lu Nanyin retracted her gaze and said, "I asked you this before. You said it was because of an injury in your lower back, but you didn't tell me why you were injured so badly and who hurt you."

Chu Lingxian smiled, and her smile was filled with hatred and a hint of murderous intent. Lu Nanyin stared at her blankly, and seeing the emotions rolling in her eyes, her doubts deepened, and she was eager to know everything that happened to her.

Chu Lingxian was lost in memories of the past and didn't say anything. Lu Nanyin didn't say anything. Chu Sheng just looked at her, and as he looked at her, he found that her eyes were gradually moistening, and a tear slowly slid down from the corner of her eye.

Lu Nanyin raised her hand and wanted to wipe away her tears, but Chu Lingxian grabbed her hand.

"Chu Lingxian." Lu Nanyin called her name, but Chu Lingxian was not in a good state.

Chu Lingxian's hand was tightly holding Lu Nanyin's wrist, his eyes were not clear, and the aura around him changed.

Lu Nanyin waved her hand in front of her eyes, but Chu Lingxian didn't react. When she looked closely, she found that her pupils had turned blood red.

Lu Nanyin was shocked. What was going on? She looked a bit like someone who was possessed by a demon as described in a novel.
