Even when he was discovered, his breathing chest slightly shook the boulder and other debris along with it, without a speck of dust staining his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What left an even deeper impression was the mask on his face. His mask was hideous and terrifying, like an evil ghost, scaring the rescue team members away and making even the Grim Reaper retreat three paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the rescue captain mustered the courage to take off that mask, the eerie atmosphere gradually dissipated, and a youth's sleeping face bathed in the sunlight once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Ling only felt the surrounding environment begin to shatter, and a familiar sense of dizziness surged into his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Seeing Chen Ling staring blankly at the mask, Shen Nan asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling took a deep breath, moved his gaze away from that Nuo Mask, and carefully sized up the now-youthful Shen Nan, his facial features slowly overlapping with the boy from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing.\" Chen Ling rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily. \"Just a bit tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan put away the Nuo Mask on the table and glanced outside the window:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can sleep for a while, there's still quite a distance from here to Guanzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I can't sleep yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else do you have to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Shen Nan's puzzled gaze, Chen Ling raised his hand to stop a Train Stewardess and spoke seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, give me two portions of fried rice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Mister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan was taken aback and subconsciously waved his hand, \"I don't eat fried rice... Do you have instant noodles? Just give me a portion of instant noodles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling glanced at him expressionlessly, hesitated for a moment, and turned his head to the Train Stewardess saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two portions of fried rice and one portion of instant noodles, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train Chen Ling was riding couldn't directly reach Guanzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the route arranged by Shen Nan, after getting off at a certain station, they bought tickets for an old-fashioned bus and drove toward the rugged mountain roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bumping along for a long distance, Chen Ling and the other slowly got off by the side of the highway in a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no platform here, nor even any signs. Outside the highway were boundless fields of rapeseed flowers. A fork paved with stones extended from the roadside, as if leading to some village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you know how to fly? Why do we have to take a bus?\" Chen Ling glanced at the time and couldn't help but speak. \"If we just rode the wind and flew over, we could save at least half the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not like you, my power isn't that easy to activate.\" Shen Nan answered helplessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, the essence of [Nuo] is to incarnate as a god and respond to others' prayers... If there's no one praying around, I have to complete a prayer myself first. Otherwise, if I put on the mask rashly, I'd have to lie in bed for several days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling let out a long sigh. Although Shen Nan's power was formidable and seemingly omnipotent, the restrictions were also not small... Not to mention anything else, just traveling was very inconvenient. If it was Chen Ling himself, stepping on Cloud Steps over wouldn't take long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the highway with almost no cars passing by, Chen Ling and Shen Nan crossed the road. After walking along the winding fork for a long time, the outline of the village grew closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke from kitchen chimneys rose gracefully from the houses in the village. Almost no young people could be seen here, only Old Men or children under ten. They sat in the open space at their doorsteps, chatting while watching Chen Ling and Shen Nan pass by their doors, then whispering something in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't been back here for a long time either, the changes are quite big.\" Shen Nan looked around. \"The road has been widened, cement has been poured in front of everyone's doors... The pond also seems to have been contracted out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, even the open space for bonfires has become a parking lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan looked at Chen Ling in astonishment. \"How did you know??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course Chen Ling knew. He had seen with his own eyes what this place used to look like, and had also seen the scene of the father and son making masks by the bonfire over ten years ago... Facing Shen Nan's horrified gaze, Chen Ling just smiled mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan stared at Chen Ling, his expression immediately becoming incredibly wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some special abilities, occasionally able to see the past of a certain place.\" Chen Ling felt that if he didn't explain it a bit, this guy wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, and then naturally changed the topic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These villagers have been staring at us, did they recognize you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not. I was still a child when I left. With such a big change now, they won't recognize me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan stared suspiciously at Chen Ling for a long time before moving his gaze away. The two finally arrived in front of a small rural house. This house had two floors, the exterior facade was tattered and old, and there was a small patch of rugged open space in front. Further ahead was a barren vegetable field. Judging from the vegetable field and the cobweb-covered wooden rack at the door, no one had lived here for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your hometown?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I lived here since I was a child. Later, because he had to get me treated, my dad took me to move to another place... But after so many years, this old house was never sold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan took out the key from his pocket and stuffed it into the rusted door lock for a long time, but forcefully couldn't stuff it in. Finally, he applied a little force with his fingers, and half of the key head broke directly inside the door lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was scratching his head, a palm casually stuck onto the door lock. The rust-covered door lock instantly underwent [Reshape], and opened automatically with a click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan turned his head to look beside him, only to see Chen Ling wearing an overcoat, spreading his hands and making an \"Is it that hard\" expression at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The house is a bit old, it probably can't really house people... Let's go in and take a look first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan pushed open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a piercing creaking sound, the smell of old wood mixed with dust hit their faces. Visible dust swept past them like a wave, and the two simultaneously raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was an old house, the lighting was quite good. Sunlight passed through the dense cobwebs and shone on the dust-covered desk and floor. Messy sundries were placed in the corners of the room, and one could even see a few mice swaying through them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you brought me all this way, exactly how do you plan to solve the issue of one body and two souls?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's gaze swept across the old room and couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Nan stepped into the room and rummaged through the pile of sundries in the corner for a long time. He brought out some tools of various shapes from it and organized them all onto the dust-covered desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To solve the issue of one body and two souls, to say it's hard is very hard, to say it's simple is also simple, as long as...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his finger and pointed to the wall opposite him. There were a few old Nuo Masks on the wall, still hanging silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as, you also become a [Nuo].\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-05-30T14:16:25.659Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","6dd15aa574566a6a1438c9b30b4339f0630be78175264f5ef402732ced73f094","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-957","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-955",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
