Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 190: An Nan Watching God’s Order

Although Bai Hao had heard An Nan's words clearly, he still couldn't help but ask: "Fingers?"

"Yes, it was a slender finger with many fiery red hairs on the back of the finger..."

Bai Hao frowned subconsciously when he heard An Nan's words, but after a moment, Bai Hao asked, "Is there anything special about this finger?"

"For example, does it count if it hasn't rotted after more than 3,700 years? Oh, by the way, the blood in that finger hasn't even coagulated yet, it's like..." Anan said excitedly.

“It’s as if it’s still growing on my body, full of vitality!”

Bai Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing Anan's description, and he knew that Anan would never joke and was as honest as a tree. Well, in a sense, Anan was a Nan tree.

"Anan, could that severed finger still move?"

"That's not the case," Anan waved his dry hands and then said happily, "But that finger always emits energy fluctuations that make me feel comfortable underground, so I usually sleep in that mountain stream."

Bai Hao caught the key words in An Nan's words and immediately asked, "After so many years, An Nan, didn't you dig out the severed finger and take a look?"

Anan's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he waved his hands in panic, saying, "No way, how can we dig it out!"

"Could something terrible happen after it's dug out?"

"I don't think so."

"Could it be that there are some powerful creatures around the severed finger that are preventing you from digging?"

"No, there's soft soil around my fingers."

"There must be some kind of mysterious barrier next to the severed finger!"

"I have no restrictions in the Nanshu Mountains."

Bai Hao was completely speechless. Looking at An Nan who looked dumbfounded, he couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you dig out your finger? Aren't you curious after more than 3700 years?"

Anan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and asked himself, "Yes, I have always been curious about that finger, but why haven't I dug it out to have a look after so many years?"

"I'm curious but I don't want to. I can dig but I can't..."

Bai Hao looked at An Nan's tangled expression and made up his mind. He then smiled and said, "Then I will go there tomorrow and dig out the severed finger. Will you stop me?"

Anan hesitated and said, "Xiao Baihao, do you really have to dig it? Is it okay not to dig it..."

"No, I have to find out what I'm curious about!"

"Well, then, you can dig it out and take a look, but you must put it back later..."

Bai Hao nodded and asked, "What if the orc girl next to me wants to dig it out and take a look?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Anan immediately said firmly.

Seeing Anan resisting so much, Bai Hao was a little surprised, but he quickly asked, "What if it's Kalia?"

"Oh, of course Kalia can, but I'll have to help her with this kind of rough work. If she wants it now, I can go dig it right now!"

"???"

Bai Hao was stunned for a moment as he looked at the enthusiastic look. An Nan's attitude was completely different when three different people asked him for the severed finger.

Facing Bai Hao with Olivia behind him, Anan seemed half-hearted, as if he was carrying out a task he was unwilling to do. Finally, he agreed under Bai Hao's insistence.

Facing Xing Lili, who had no background at all, Anan gave an attitude of stern rejection. It was a subconscious resistance, as if Xing Lili was doing something that trampled on Anan's principles.

However, facing Kalia, who was also a high-sequence main god behind him, Anan actually looked overjoyed. Not only did he show that he fully accepted it, he was even a little... impatient?

Bai Hao thought back to the days when Anan had been in contact with Kalia before. It could be said that he was completely obedient to Kalia. It seemed that even if Kalia wanted the moon in the sky, Anan would immediately try to pick it down for her.

Although Anan was basically obedient towards the villagers, it was more like an obligation, and he was not as eager as he was when facing Kalia.

Of course, Anan is also very obedient to Bai Hao, but in Bai Hao's view, it seems like a subordinate obeying a superior, while Kalia is just like a parent to his child.

Bai Hao suddenly thought of something, and a cunning smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he said seriously: "What about Youla, the blue-haired girl who follows me? She seems to want that severed finger too!"

Upon hearing this, Anan curled his lips and said, "Humph, people's greed is always endless. Xiao Baihao, tell that child to let go of her greed, otherwise I will teach her a lesson myself."

"But isn't it the same for Kalia and me?"

Anan was stunned for a moment, as if his mind hadn't figured it out. After a moment, he stumbled and said, "You and Kalia, no, not quite the same. You should be using it to do something important..."

"No, Kalia and I just have the same greed as Yura. We just want to take it for ourselves."

Anan showed an extremely tangled expression, shook his head and sighed, "But, but there is only one finger, Xiao Baihao, can you give it to Xiao Kalia?"

After probing to this point, Bai Hao gradually figured out Anan's strange psychology. Anan's attitude towards the severed finger was very hypocritical. No, it should be said that Anan was triple or quadruple standard.

Bai Hao already had a rough guess in his mind, but he still needed to go to the Nannan Mountains to dig out the severed finger before he could draw a more accurate conclusion.

Bai Hao believed that Anan was most likely born because of this severed finger and the power of faith of the surrounding villagers, and that the entire Nannan Mountain Range was equivalent to an extremely special large altar, an altar for the creation of gods.

Anan submits to Bai Hao but despises Youla, most likely because Olivia is third in sequence, and Iles is just one of the gods of the sixth god of fate.

Bai Hao knew that Anan's mind was actually very simple, and many of his emotions were completely based on instinct. Anan didn't even know why he was "serving food to people". No, Anan was simply "serving food to God"!

As a wild subordinate god born in the Nanshu Mountains, Anan should be subordinate to the fourth-ranked God of Life or the fifth-ranked God of Mountains and Earth, and these two gods are exactly sandwiched between the Moon God and the God of Destiny.

But what Bai Hao could never judge was whether Anan's attitude towards Kalia was because Kalia was the god behind her incarnation, or because of the previous life of Kalia's soul.
