I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"But even so, you shouldn't do things that hurt others, right?"

Ella knew Lotte was definitely treating her like a righteous ally again, but her concern wasn't Zarco's life or death. She was concerned about the effects of "mild miasma poisoning," something she had never seen before. She wanted to see what the effect looked like and what caused it. If it was something she couldn't resolve, she would need to pay more attention to it in the future.

"I don't mean to defend him. I'm just a little concerned about the effect. I need to study it."

"Uh—Is that so? My apologies, Miss Ella."

"It's okay, it's okay. Keep eating. After we're done, we'll go see Zarco."

The two began to dine quietly, and the only sound in the empty conference room was the sound of cutlery colliding.

-------------------------

Zarco covered his forehead with one hand. The strong sunlight made it impossible for him to open his eyes, which had adapted to the darkness. He stood at the prison gate for several minutes before lowering his hand, pressing his arms to the seams of his trousers and bowing.

"Princess, I apologize again for my disrespectful behavior towards you earlier."

"It's okay, I just want to ask you something."

Ella led the way out of the prison area, and Lotte and Zarko immediately followed behind.

"What's up?"

"Well, then I'll get straight to the point. Why are you in such a desperate need for money? Before coming here, I asked President Jain of the Adventurer's Guild. I know you're a person of some power in this town, and you don't usually do anything outrageous. So, what's the reason you need the money so badly?"

Hearing Ella's question, Zarco immediately stopped.

Ella and Lotte stopped as well.

"Don't be so nervous. I will help you solve your problems according to the situation, provided you trust me."

He paused, and when he saw that Zarco didn't move, he continued.

"And judging from the situation right now, you don't have any other options, right?"

On the sparsely populated streets, the only sound is the chirping of cicadas.

After a moment's silence, Zarco let out a long breath with a heavy nasal sound.

"I'll just trust the princess."

Hearing that Zarko was willing to speak, Ella felt relieved. She secretly thanked herself for discussing with Lotte the best way to guide him.

Zarco walked in front of the two of them. Perhaps sensing the potential for ridicule, his tone was mocking.

"Well, I found a ghost in the forest a few days ago. After I brought her home, I realized she was almost gone, so I'm trying to save her. Right? You think it's strange for a human to save an undead, right? I don't know why, but I just want to save her. This is the first time I've felt this way since I was born."

Ella muttered without responding to Zarko's mocking tone.

"A ghost..."

Chapter 29: Seal of Original Sin

"A ghost..."

"Do you think I'm crazy? The people around me say the same thing. They've been asking me to go to the temple these past few days, hahaha."

Zarko laughed.

Noticing that Ella was lost in thought, Lotte approached and started a conversation.

"Aren't you afraid of the undead?"

Zarco turned around as if he had heard something funny.

"What's there to be afraid of? What can a half-dead, low-level ghost do to me... an adventurer? Besides, I've lived enough. Even death would be enough."

Ella came back to her senses from her thoughts.

"How's that ghost now?"

"You're almost dead, old man—I've tried every method I can, but you're still getting more and more transparent. You must be dying soon, so I need money to buy items on the black market to keep the undead alive."

"Then you are really weird enough that it's okay to be called a lunatic."

"Hahahaha, huh?"

The rough laughter turned into an exclamation.

"If I think about it, maybe I'm crazy."

"Let's go to your place first and see how the ghost is doing. From your tone, it seems that he was not doing well yesterday."

After hearing Ella's words, Zarco said no more and walked in front, his pace unconsciously becoming faster.

Led by Zarko, the three of them came to this wooden house that looked completely uninhabited.

In front of me is a single-story wooden house far away from the residential area. The mottled scratches on it give it a very old feel. Combined with the yard surrounded by a wooden fence and the woods in the background, it doesn't look like it is inside a small town at all.

Walking through the path surrounded by the fence, Zarko stepped onto the wooden steps and pushed open a door with a creaking sound, which required Zarko to bend down to enter.

"This is where I keep my ghost. I haven't used it in a long time. I hope the princess doesn't mind."

After Zarco finished speaking, he went straight into one of the rooms connected to the living room.

Resisting the damp and musty smell that hit her face, Ella frowned and looked at Ruthie, who acted as if she didn't smell it.

"What's wrong, Miss Ella?"

"No, nothing. Let's go over and take a look."

After Lotte nodded, Ella took Lotte into the room.

Because the curtains were drawn and there was no light in the room, the interior layout could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see Zark sitting on a chair, and on the bed next to the chair lay a humanoid object emitting a faint gray light. That should be the ghost that Zark mentioned.

Walking up to Zarco and looking at the ghost lying on the bed emitting an almost invisible light, Ella began to understand why Zarco said it was not scary at all.

Aside from emitting gray light and being completely transparent, it could be said that this was a ghost that looked no different from a human female.

At this moment, the ghost was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Is this a ghost? It's a little different than I imagined."

Because he had seen ghost players in the game before, he was not afraid.

"It's almost disappearing now. It didn't feel this transparent in the first few days."

With the light coming through the curtains, Ella noticed that Zark had a bitter look on his face, which she found a bit strange.

"Are you very sad?"

Zarco looked up at the ghost's face, a little surprised.

"Sad? Why should I be sad? I've tried everything I can, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Don't you love her so you saved her?"

As if he had heard something incredible, Zarco's voice suddenly rose a degree.

"Like? How is that possible? How could a human like an undead? I just suddenly wanted to save her. There's no other intention."

“Is that so…?”

Zarco glanced at the ghost on the bed, then looked at Ella, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"So, Princess, could you lend me some money? You don't seem to dislike the undead... It will take some time to pay me back, but as long as I have the money, I will definitely pay it back. I hope you won't mind what I did before and will save this ghost."

Ella knew very well how much of a challenge it would be to a man's dignity to make a strong man bow his head and beg a girl. She didn't want to continue this scene and waved her hand to signal Zarco to look up.

"I understand. I can save her, but I have a request."

Zarco raised his head and looked Ella in the eyes. Before Zarco could speak, Ella started the next sentence.

"If I save her, you must protect her until one of you is dead. I don't want my efforts to be in vain."

Zarco's originally nervous expression gradually became serious. He slowly stood up, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed.

"Yes, I will protect her until my death."

Sure enough, Zarco had some unusual feelings for this ghost. Although Zarco said he didn't care, if there wasn't some special feeling at work, why would he go through the motions of robbing without regard for the consequences, and now beg him for mercy?

"You go out first. I'm going to rescue this ghost. It's not convenient for me to have you here."

"Princess... ghosts require necromancy magic to heal..."

Zar didn't believe in Ella's strength, which was understandable, because the condition for practicing necromancy magic was to become undead, and Ella was a human no matter how you looked at it. In other words, if she wasn't human, she wouldn't be able to pass through the town's barrier from the main gate.

"Miss Ella will find a way. If Miss Ella can't solve it, I'll give you the gold coins later."

"Well then, please, Princess."

After hesitating for a moment, Zarco finally chose to believe Ella and walked out of the room with a creaking sound on the floor.

After confirming that Zarco had gone far away by the sound of footsteps, Lotte quietly walked to the door, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, she walked over to stand next to Ella.

"Ms. Ella, he's gone. What should we do next?"

"Honestly, I don't know either. I originally thought it would be a friend from the same hometown, but it turned out to be this. I can only try slowly and hope that nothing goes wrong."

In F.Wing, the "ghost" species is a player-selectable race. There are no monsters or information about this race in the Monster Manual. So, when Ella first heard about the "ghost," she thought it was some other time traveler. After arriving here with great excitement, she discovered that this ghost wasn't what she saw in F.Wing—the ghosts in F.Wing were more monstrous, completely unlike the human-like appearance of the ghost girl before her.

If it's the Undead type, then I can't use the Holy type's "Archangel's Kiss"... How did my Undead teammates do it before?

Intermediate Character Identification

"Hmm? The Corrosion of the Mark of Sin? The Mark of Sin? Why is this here?"

Ella's voice suddenly became louder, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"Miss Ella, what's wrong?"

"Has Lotte heard of the 'Mark of Original Sin'?"

"No, I've never heard of it."

Ella began pacing the room. In F.Wing, the Seal of the Seven Deadly Sins is the ultimate boss in the storyline. The savior, Karin, sacrificed herself to seal the Seven Deadly Sins in seven uninhabited areas of the earth. Any NPC who finds and possesses the Seal of the Seven Deadly Sins is guaranteed to reach the maximum level and become a top-tier warrior. However, possessing the Seal of the Seven Deadly Sins also means they will be corrupted by its power, gradually losing their sanity, attacking human towns, and ultimately becoming the target of the players' crusade.

One of the requirements for challenging an NPC possessing the "Mark of Original Sin" is that they must form a team of at least five level 900 players to successfully defeat it. If the "Mark of Original Sin" were to appear in this world, no one, given the strength of the people Ella had met so far, would be able to handle it. In other words, in the unlikely event of a disaster, she would likely be forced into a one-on-one battle with the bearer of the "Mark of Original Sin."

"Miss Ella, what happened? Can you tell Lotte?"

Seeing Ella walking back and forth in the room alone, Lotte called out to her worriedly.

Realizing that her actions were causing Lotte anxiety, Ella stopped and regained her normal expression.

"Mmm—let's rescue her first and ask her later. It's not time to hold back on the 'Bone Dragon Spirit'."

He took out a fist-sized spherical object from his portable warehouse, which emitted a purple glow in the dim room. This was a special supply item for the undead players in the game. Once worn, it could continuously restore negative health points. This item could also automatically draw negative life from the air to replenish itself, so it was very popular among the undead players.

Ella placed the "Bone Dragon Essence" directly on the ghost girl's belly. As if sinking into water, the ball directly sank into the ghost girl's body.

After a while, the ghost girl's body slowly became solid, and the gray light emitted from her body gradually turned into light purple. After about a minute, the girl's body changed from transparent to translucent, with no signs of dissipating as before.

"Um--"

The girl in front of him groaned and slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of terrifying pure blue eyes without pupils.

Chapter 30 Ghost Girl

"'Holy Barrier'."

Seeing the ghost girl in front of her wake up, Ella immediately opened her defense, and then Lotte pulled out the magic gun stuck in her thigh.

However, the girl showed no signs of wanting to hurt anyone, nor did she look panicked. She just slowly sat up and stared blankly at Ella and Lotte, who were a foot away from the bed.

"Who...are you?"

It seemed like it took several seconds to think of the next word after saying one, and the emotionless tone reminded Ella of the artificial intelligence on Earth.

Not wanting to look at the ghost girl's pupilless eyes, and suppressing the shock brought to her by the Mark of Original Sin, Ella dispersed her sharp gaze.

"We are here to help you. What is your name?"

The ghost girl tilted her head, as if thinking hard, and was silent for a minute. It was not until Ella felt a little anxious that she stammered out her name.

"Name... Ghost... Spirit?"
