"Come in!" After knocking on the door, a voice suddenly came out from the temple. The voice was low and hoarse, as if trying to prevent Zhang Nan from knowing who it was.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Nan pushed open the door and walked in. The City God Temple, was the place where people prayed to the gods, but ever since the recent incident in the village, the corpses of Zhang Hu and the rest were found here. In a short period of time, this place became synonymous with death.

Walking into the hall in front of the temple, the ferocious looking statue in the middle scared Zhang Nan and made him retreat a few steps, how could he come to such a terrifying place?

"Zhang Scholar?" At this moment, the voice sounded again.

"You, who are you?" Zhang Nan was sure that the voice came from behind the statue, he looked inside, but he could not see anything behind the statue.

"The person who wants your life!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, followed by a dark figure walking out from behind the deity statue. It was a black face that could not be seen clearly, and a pair of blood-red eyes filled with killing intent in the dark night.

"You didn't ask me to save Zhang Huali and the rest." Zhang Nan reacted, he turned and ran out, but before he reached the door, there was a loud bang, and the door closed itself off.

"Aren't you the Elementary Scholar from the village?" "Are you a genius?" That ice-cold voice sounded once again from behind Zhang Nan, as if it was mocking him.

"You, what do you mean?" Zhang Nan trembled, but there was also a trace of anger.

You have two choices. Either you die here and I send those dead people back, or you answer one of my questions right. That's right, I'll let you go and send them back. That black shadow was like a ghost, its blood-red eyes constantly twinkling as it spoke.

Zhang Nan became silent. Listening to him, it seemed that Zhang Huai Li and the rest were already dead, but even if they were dead, they had to bring them back from here.

Furthermore, I am afraid that this fellow will not let me off so easily today, since left and right side of him are already dead, I might as well fight it out, forget it, Zhang Nan nodded and agreed: "Go ahead."

"This is a mystery!" As the black figure spoke, the corners of his mouth curved in a strange smile, as if he did not believe that Zhang Nan could answer it, "I do not exist in the past, but I will always exist.

"You have fifteen minutes to think, but you can only answer it three times at most. If you are wrong about all three times, I will eat your heart."

Eat your heart!

These words frightened Zhang Nan so much that his body trembled and cold sweat dripped down his body.

"In fifteen minutes, you only have three chances to answer!" The black shadow warned Zhang Nan once again.

"I do not exist in the past, but I exist forever. I am the pursuit of all living souls. "What is that supposed to mean?" Zhang Nan felt his palms sweating. In this quarter-hour, he only had three chances to reply, or else he would die.

He was thinking while stepping on the time of death, and what was the meaning of this riddle?

Sensing the time that was quickly running out, Zhang Nan swallowed his saliva, and two words suddenly surfaced in his mind: "Rights!"

Isn't it just rights? Everything in the past is gone, but it will always be there in the future. Moreover, aren't people pursuing power? Zhang Nan thought.

"You still have two chances." The black figure spoke out coldly. Her words were like a command from the god of death, scaring Zhang Nan into shivering.

"How is it not a right?" Zhang Nan asked in confusion.

"I can explain it to you, but I'm afraid you don't have that much time? Do you want to hear it? " The black shadow's tone suddenly turned playful, as though it was looking down on Zhang Nan's intelligence.

Zhang Nan shook his head and clenched his fists tightly. If it wasn't a right, then what was it?

"You don't have much time left." The black shadow seemed to be purposely fighting with Zhang Nan at a psychological speed, reminding him from time to time, which made Zhang Nan even more anxious.

What was it? What was it? Zhang Nan paced back and forth. He didn't notice that at this time, the black figure had secretly opened its mouth with rows and rows of sharp teeth emitting a cold light. It slowly approached Zhang Nan …

"Eternal life?" Zhang Nan answered once again. For some reason, when the black figure heard the voice, he trembled in fear and couldn't help but stop in his tracks. But then, his furious voice sounded out once more, "No, you only have one last chance.

Despair. It was true despair. Torture. It truly was torture to the soul.

Eternal life. He would always exist. Who wouldn't want to live forever when they were still alive? But this was not immortality?

It was neither a right nor an eternal life, so what was it?

"Give up, you won't be able to answer me. Hmm, what scholar? Zhang Xiushan, I think you're a joke." The black shadow taunted, calculating the time, he slowly approached Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan looked at the black figure's red eyes that were emitting cold Qi, and continued to retreat. But for some reason, at this moment, his legs were weak, and he had no strength left in his body.

Am I going to die here today? Zhang Nan looked at the black figure as he opened his mouth wide, his mind filled with countless images of unwillingness and unwillingness.

In the end, the image was fixed onto that scene …

It was a rainy day in a room, and a young girl was bathing there. Everything seemed so familiar, and Zhang Nan missed it so much.

That's right, this was the Hu Family's courtyard, and this was Fox Fairy's chamber. He never would have thought that at the moment of his death, at the very last moment of this person's life, he would actually think of Fox Fairy.

"Go to hell, scholar!" The black shadow suddenly grew larger and larger, its mouth also growing larger and larger, biting towards Zhang Nan's head with its mouth wide open.

"Tomorrow!" Suddenly, You Rou's two moving words came from beside Zhang Nan's ears. It was a very familiar voice, and it was Fox Fairy.

Zhang Nan's figure moved, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the big mouth that was about to bite him, and shouted out two words.

"Tomorrow!"

"Hiss …"

The moment she said that, her big mouth suddenly stopped above Zhang Nan's head, following that, she started to shrink and shrink, and finally returned to her black figure, her pair of blood red eyes stared straight at Zhang Nan, as though she was unwilling to give up.

"How did you come up with that?" The black figure looked at Zhang Nan, her tone filled with shock.

"Give Zhang Huali and the rest back to me." Zhang Nan did not reply him. At this moment, he did not know where he gained the courage to speak to the black figure in such a manner.

"I will return it to you." After the black shadow said this, it slowly disappeared like a fog, until it finally disappeared from the entire God-level temple.

Seeing the black figure leave, Zhang Nan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, only then did he realise that his clothes had actually been drenched in sweat.

At this time, Zhang Huai Li and the rest were lying in front of Zhang Nan. There were seven of them, the seven who were worried at Zhang Nan's doorstep that day, were all dead now.

Looking at the corpses of Zhang Huai Li and the rest, Zhang Nan felt pain in his heart at that moment. He felt pain in his heart for the deaths of Zhang Huai Li and the others, but he also felt fear for himself.

Tonight, at the last moment, Fox Fairy suddenly told him the answer, if not, he would have died with his mouth wide open.

"Wait, why would Fox Fairy's voice sound by my ear?" Zhang Nan regained his senses and anxiously ran out of the City God's Temple. After looking around, why was Fox Fairy's voice so loud in the middle of the night?

Maybe she had heard that Fox Fairy was in the Hu Mansion, why would he come here?

Zhang Nan shook his head helplessly and dragged the corpses of Zhang Huai Li and the rest back to the village one by one.

What he did not know was that in the darkness of the night, right on top of the temple, there were two black figures watching Zhang Nan's every move. One of them had blood-red eyes that caused people to shiver, staring straight at Zhang Nan, as if there were ten thousand points of unwillingness.

Yanran was one of the few beauties in the world. She was looking at Zhang Nan as well, her lips curving into a smile, and she kept smiling. However, her eyes revealed a hint of sadness …

"Why are you doing this to him?" After a long while, the white silhouette asked with a trace of heartache in his voice.

"What, you don't want to see everyone in the village targeting him and suspecting him instead of you?" As the black figure spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face once more …
