I thought it was a horror movie, but it turned out to be a search-and-rescue dog simulator?
Yu Qing transmigrated into a horror movie he'd just watched, becoming the unlucky believer who mistook a false god for the real one and was eventually devoured alive.
Bad news: Because of his unusual constitution, ghosts are drawn to him by nature, so he has no choice but to make the same choice as the believer and seek protection.
Good news: Until it finds the last part of its body, the ghost that has usurped its place still needs him as its "believer," so it won't hurt him for now.
To collect its scattered remains, Yu Qing started running all over the place--
"Don't go there, it's dangerous!" a kind passerby warned when Yu Qing asked for directions.
The passerby raised his mangled arm and recounted how he had narrowly escaped death last month.
"So many people went in, and in the end... I was the only one who got out." He tried to scare Yu Qing away.
At a glance, this beautiful, refined young master was clearly a runaway. Ha! Now that the world had fallen apart, even the noblest status meant nothing in the face of those ghosts.
Yu Qing did indeed flinch. But under the passerby's satisfied gaze, he... still headed in the direction he'd originally planned to go.
Passerby: ???
The passerby sneered, ready to watch him make a fool of himself. But a few weeks later--
"You're still alive?" He saw Yu Qing return.
Yu Qing nodded calmly and bought a cup of tea without saying much. To the passerby, that was the very picture of a true master.
"Did I misjudge him?" The passerby was puzzled and confused, so he ran over to ask.
Yu Qing, internally: Actually, I was just too scared to move.
I never want to watch another horror movie again.
Another dangerous night--
"My lord." In the perilous night, the devout believer called out to his god, frightened yet yearning for him. His sincere tears were answered, and the ghosts outside began to retreat.
Once he was safe, Yu Qing sincerely thanked the "god," while the greedy ghost only wanted to claim the reward that was its due.
Yu Qing: Is this ghost's true form a vine? I thought I'd transmigrated into a horror movie?
"It isn't the god you worship," a person who suddenly appeared told Yu Qing.
The boy glared angrily at this person. A loyal believer would not allow anyone to slander his god, yet he couldn't deny the sudden affection welling up inside him.
The kin of gods are naturally drawn to their deities.
Under the god's gentle gaze, the boy's expression gradually shifted from resistance to uncertainty.
"I'm sorry I woke up so late."
That day, Yu Qing received two pieces of news at once.
Good news: He had met the true god.
Bad news: The true god's body was incomplete, too.
The true god stood before him, gentle and powerful, with an imposing bearing--
Then he raised his right hand, which had only three fingers left, and earnestly asked:
"Have you seen the rest of me?"
Yu Qing: ...
Are gods in this generation just too hard to be?
