night.

late at night.

The clock is ticking.

There were three strange-looking oil lamps placed on the old wooden table, and the lights swayed slightly.

Jiang Ge lay on his side on the bed, his body unable to move, numb and cold.

With difficulty, he opened a small gap in his eyes.

When his eyes adjusted to the light, his pupils shrank to a small point.

In front of his field of vision, beyond the flame of the oil lamp.

A strange figure stood there.

He has no facial features and is completely black.

"If it can extinguish one lamp, it can extinguish two or three lamps...Sooner or later it will be able to break through the defense line of lights."

Became the youngest ancient literature lecturer in the history of Ryugu University.

He also gradually discovered some unusual information hidden in the book.

An old lady named Guo believed in an unknown sect called the Dragon Worship Sect.

It has been 23 years since I came to this world.

Jiang Ge rinsed his face with cold water to calm himself down.

Jiang Ge woke up from his sleep and sat up from the bed.

It can be considered as truly taking root in this world.

The night is still long...

At first, he didn't notice the shadow's existence.

He will fall into a state of being unable to move, and then his soul will be sucked...

Keep piecing this information together.

But as time went by, he discovered that the shadow seemed to be getting stronger because it sucked his soul.

After consulting a lot of information, he had already made some guesses about the origin of that shadow——

This shadow that haunts him appears...

It is a creation originating from the "invisible art" within the world!

dawn.

…………

At first, he only thought it was a legend, a weird story, and just the unfounded imagination of the author of the book.

He was surprised to find that these pieces of information actually combined into a weird and weird world that subverted ordinary people's cognition.

And soon, he also figured out what he was being sucked on.

Until that shadow appears...

Jiang Ge felt cold in his heart.

As long as he puts the book into the research slot and interprets it, he can remember and master all the knowledge in the book.

He was a little happy when he received the gift.

The nightmare begins.

Using an organ that cannot be seen with the naked eye, it probed into his mouth and nose... and sucked something from his brain.

His eyes were full of impatient appetite and greed.

A faceless, pitch-black head stuck close to his face.

It was also from that day that the shadow would appear after midnight every day.

But when he saw the scene in his eyes, his pupils shrank sharply.

However, it is not his shadow...

The world he has traveled through and lived in for more than twenty years is not as simple as it seems.

Because there seems to be something hidden in this scripture that he has been looking for.

Advance your studies step by step, show your talents, and become a well-known scholar.

"I fell asleep again?!"

But he has a golden finger.

The clock is still ticking.

By now, the shadow can even suppress the light of the light.

But not long after, sleepiness came over me like a wave, and my eyelids started to tremble.

Those three oil lamps were specially made by him.

The blocking effect of the lights' light is fading.

Then he immediately looked at the three oil lamps on the table.

The only effective thing is firelight, which can slightly block the shadow's footsteps.

He tried countless methods to eliminate this shadow.

I can only vaguely see the shape of a human...

And this is also the reason why he was able to overcome the class restrictions that can be called a natural chasm as an orphan born in a nursing home and become the youngest lecturer at Ryugu University.

The person who gave the gift was his former landlord.

The scope of the fire suddenly shrank, only illuminating a small area on the bed.

While interpreting a large number of books and acquiring knowledge.

But now, one of these three oil lamps that should not have been extinguished has gone out!

"That shadow is getting stronger again!"

With the help of this golden finger, he interprets books and acquires knowledge.

That's his soul...

A scripture of the Dragon Worship Cult.

The black shadow dimmed and the shadow instantly came to the edge of the bed.

His name is Jiang Ge, a time-traveler who has experienced fetal trauma.

The gift was a book——

So whose shadow is this?

Jiang Ge didn't know.

Prayers, holy water, spells, magic weapons, help...

Finally his eyelids closed, he was so tired.

But just as he was happily preparing to move out of his current rental building and move into the lecturer's dormitory of Ryugu University, something unexpected happened.

I just feel that my spirit is getting worse and worse, and my body is getting weaker bit by bit.

"Tonight, tonight, this ghost thing must be dealt with!"

Until midnight one day, he woke up in a daze.

There is a windproof lampshade, the oil tank below is enough to burn for three days and three nights, and the wick is also of special quality.

Even though he had no eyes, Jiang Ge could feel the malicious and appetizing gaze cast towards him by the shadow.

And got the appointment letter of trainee lecturer from Ryugong University.

He tried every method he could think of, but to no avail.

This should be something worth celebrating.

He could only feel that something was flowing out of his mind little by little, and his body became weaker...

Originally, three oil lamps were enough to illuminate his room.

Jiang Ge desperately wanted to open his eyes and stare at the shadow.

But after he interpreted the scripture.

When you open your eyes, you see this shadow.

Whenever I am looked at by that shadow.

He received a gift.
