After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

"How do you feel now?"

Meng Ting stared at the little paper man swaying in front of him.

Ni Yangzhou was brought back to his senses by the voice:

"Dad Meng, I'm so young!"

The boy's face moved closer. From Ni Yangzhou's perspective, Meng Ting's high-power beauty filter suddenly came close to his face, but her pores were still invisible. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.

But Ni Yangzhou felt it was a bit scary, similar to gigantic fear.

"Dad Meng...you, stay away..."

Meng Ting stepped back a little and said:

"Don't call me dad."

Ni Yangzhou controlled his body and sat down on the table. The pieces of paper fluttered lightly without making any sound.

"My body is given by you. This is the grace of rebirth."

Meng Ting raised his eyebrows, "Is it such a great favor?"

The paper man nodded: "Your kindness is as great as a mountain!"

"Then how do you repay me?"

The words "I will pledge my life to you" were stuck in Ni Yangzhou's teeth, and he almost slipped them out.

"Well... I'm already in this state, why not repay me in the next life..."

Meng Ting shut her mouth and didn't even seem to mind the boy's excuse.

"Can't go back on my word."

Ni Yangzhou nodded, "Yeah, I won't regret it."

Although he agreed verbally, what Ni Yangzhou was thinking in his heart was that if he completed his mission and could return to the real world, he would go to the original author's home, put a knife to his neck, and force him to write a happy family and a successful life for Meng Ting.

This should also be considered as "retribution in the next life", right?

Meng Ting took a piece of paper and wiped the blood that had dripped onto the table. He then carefully wiped around Ni Yangzhou to ensure that no liquid could soak into his now fragile arms and legs.

"Brother Meng, why didn't you give me enlightenment yesterday?"

Ni Yangzhou looked at the person who was cleaning patiently in front of him and asked doubtfully:

"The soul is unstable and easily dispersed."

"Uh, it's like an egg yolk?"

Meng Ting frowned, opened his palm, and let the little paper man walk back into his palm.

Ni Yangzhou crawled obediently, walked to the palm of the hand, and lay down. The warm palm made him feel very comfortable.

That day too.

When Ni Yangzhou's floating soul looked at Meng Ting, Meng Ting lowered his head to avoid the rain and folded a piece of yellow paper. Before Ni Yangzhou could ask more questions, the boy whispered a spell, a light flashed, and Ni Yangzhou was sucked into the paper.

Originally, when Ni Yangzhou was in the air, he just felt cold and didn't think much about it. In fact, it was the soul that was gradually dissipating.

Fortunately, Meng Ting arrived in time and used his body and jade pendant to warm and preserve the soul.

Otherwise, Ni Yangzhou would be really finished.

The person lying comfortably closed his red, line-like eyes:

"Was I going to fall apart that day? Why didn't you pack me up quickly?"

Meng Ting looked at the person in his hand and replied:

"I need you to call me."

"Hmm?" Ni Yangzhou opened his eyes, and the red line turned into two red lines with a round dot in the middle.

"I called out, Brother Meng, Brother Meng, for a long time."

"name."

"Oh..." Ni Yangzhou recalled the words "Don't be in love with ice" that day. The protagonist of the love was not someone else, but his own body...

The awkward atmosphere returned.

Ni Yangzhou was glad that he was not a human now and his facial features were drawn simply, otherwise it would have been difficult for him just to control the micro-expressions on his face.

Five senses...

"Brother Meng! Help me get a mirror!"

Meng Ting was very obedient and took the red-rimmed round mirror hanging on the wall.

The little paper man rushed in front of the mirror and saw his own thin triangular arms and legs, and square head.

"I am dead."

Meng Ting frowned and nodded.

"But your soul remains."

"No, I'm dead!" Ni Yangzhou wanted to cry but had no tears.

"——I'm so ugly!"

Ni Yangzhou wanted to droop his eyes, but the little paper figure in the mirror only had two thin red lines for eyes, which pressed down like the word "囧".

Ni Yangzhou closed his eyes in pain.

"Brother Meng, can you give me a new body to live in?"

"This one is easy to break. I don't even dare to take big steps, for fear of tearing my leg..."

"She's ugly, mainly ugly, really ugly..."

Ni Yangzhou used the same face in his two lives as a human, both times he was a handsome guy. After becoming a ghost, he did not become a majestic and frightening ghost, but a paper man like a stick figure.

"I need to replace it, but there is no material."

When Meng Ting was going home from school, he went to a paper clothing store and asked for a lot of materials. However, the items were not complete, so the boss promised to deliver the materials to his door after he had found all the materials.

This is not the first time the boss has sent these things to the Meng family, so there is no need to worry about the materials being inferior.

No one in this line of work would think of deceiving the Meng family.

"Brother Meng, are you good at drawing? If not, let me do it."

Ni Yangzhou looked at his abstract facial features with a feeling of distrust.

Meng Ting pursed his thin lips and said, "Well drawn."

"Ok."

Ni Yangzhou let go of the topic and turned to face Meng Ting. Looking at his handsome face directly from this angle made people feel more relaxed physically and mentally.

"Brother Meng, why did you say I was 'dead again'?"

Meng Ting's pupils shrank and he turned his eyes away, looking elsewhere.

Ni Yangzhou did not let him go, thinking that you hid everything from me when I was alive, and only revealed your skill points after I died.

I can't let you get away with it so easily this time.

"why?"

Ni Yangzhou followed Meng Ting's gaze and kept asking questions.

"Why why why? What do you mean died again? Did you know I died before?"

As soon as Ni Yangzhou finished speaking, he felt a chill in his heart, fearing that he would be restricted if he revealed the situation, but in fact, nothing happened.

that……

"Meng Ting, turn around and look at me."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ting no longer turned his head, but just avoided meeting the paper man's eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked down at the paper man's slender legs.

"Look at me."

Ni Yangzhou said seriously.

Meng Ting looked at Ni Yangzhou helplessly, his brows slightly furrowed and his pupils dark.

"You can't tell?"

Meng Ting's chin moved slightly, it seemed to be only a millimeter, and it would not be noticed if you didn't pay attention.

"But I can guess, right?"

Meng Ting didn't say anything.

"I guess that's not what you said."

Meng Ting stared straight ahead, motionless, like an exquisite sculpture.

"You've seen me before."

Ni Yangzhou touched his square chin and spoke as he thought.

"Not at school, but earlier."

"You were restricted for some reason and couldn't reveal it, or you would be punished, just like that day in the alley when you suddenly fainted."

Meng Ting's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it.

"you need to……

Doing a mission?"

Could it be that this protagonist also traveled through time with the system? Isn't this the original setting in the book? Traveling through the book?

Meng Ting had some reactions——

He blinked.

Ni Yangzhou understood what he meant.

No.

Either he was doing a mission or he had seen me before. Of course, I couldn't be sure whether it was me or the original owner, which might have affected his change in attitude towards me.

Recalling the few words Meng Ting said before she fainted on Pan Dongxue's birthday, Ni Yangzhou said:

"What you saw was 'me', not 'Ni Yangzhou', right?"

Meng Ting didn't move or speak, but slightly raised the corners of his lips.

A smile emerges, like a nostalgic flower from the old days, bringing the fragrance of the past.
