Chapter 138 I Won't Seek Death While You're Alive
The two walked into the door side by side, and saw a little white dog running towards them quickly, rubbing against Gu Changsheng's feet affectionately.
Mo Lian grabbed it by the back of its neck and held it in his arms, "I never knew that the great master is so popular."
Gu Changsheng smiled, "I come here often, so I am familiar with it."
"oh."
"Mo Lian, go and rest first. I'll go see Mr. Gu."
"good."
Mo Lian watched him walk away eagerly.
She didn't put the little white dog down until the tall figure gradually disappeared from her sight.
"Dabai, go back to Lianju."
"Woof~" The puppy ran, wagging its tail.
Mo Lian followed it, thinking about what happened in the car as he walked.
Ever since she asked that question, Gu Sui'an remained silent, and it was obvious that he didn't want to talk more.
She frowned, confused, "What happened to the Great God?"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Dabai's voice brought Mo Lian back to his senses, and he realized that he had unknowingly stood outside the door of Lianju.
She walked in and was greeted by the rich scent of flowers.
When I turned on the lights, what came into view was a room full of pink roses.
In the most conspicuous position, there is a life-size standee of a woman wearing a pink princess dress, which is her appearance in the copy.
On the flower basket next to it, there was a pink note with sharp yet casual handwriting on it.
[Welcome Home, Princess]
Mo Lian curled up the corners of his lips and couldn't help but complain, "Boring."
She left the flowers alone and went back to the bedroom.
There are several more clothes hangers in the room, and the clothes on them are all warm-colored, cute and bright.
What attracted her most was a small pink pistol on the table.
"Ding~"
A reminder tone sounds.
Mo Lian opened her phone and saw an extra message in the green bubble.
[Professor Gu: The pistol I promised you is here. Do you like it?]
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she typed quickly and sent it.
Pitiful but not cute: "Have I really left the Rule Tales? Why do I feel like you, the dungeon boss, have not been eliminated?"
[Professor Gu: Outside of the dungeon, there are also invisible rules. Anyone can be a weirdo or a boss, maybe you too.]
Poor but not cute: "When will you be back?"
[Professor Gu: Tomorrow]
…
The sky gradually darkened and clouds covered the moon.
Yizhen Garden.
Under the flower stand covered with roses, the water for making tea is boiling and steam is rising.
Lin Zhanbei sat in a wheelchair and didn't speak for a long time.
The air was condensed and the atmosphere was heavy.
"Zhan Bei, Dr. Qiao said that you can't be angry." Gu Changsheng sighed lightly and took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"Team Leader Gu knows that I can't be angry, but I think you clearly want to piss me off to death!" Lin Zhanbei stared, the suppressed anger in his eyes no longer controllable.
"Changsheng, others may not know, but I have known you for almost a hundred years. I dare not say that I know your personality very well, but I can guess a little."
"Yes, I don't understand the rules."
"But I can see that three years ago, you deliberately used the strange copy to end your life."
"You failed."
"Just like before, when you snatched the explosive pack from my hand, you didn't die."
"I thought you had given up, but I didn't expect you to..."
"Zhan Bei, this was an accident." Seeing the old man's face flushed, Gu Changsheng was afraid that he would get angry and something bad would happen, so he hurriedly explained.
"Mo Lian encountered a trap in the ghost story. I felt that there was a force trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack her. I wanted to warn her, but unexpectedly, my eyes went dark. When I woke up, my consciousness was already in the dungeon."
"I saw Mo Lian, and she saw me too."
"Zhan Bei, I haven't been to the Rules Ghost Talk for three years. This time when I went in, I realized something was wrong."
"A voice told me that the long-forgotten seal had been opened, and I must suppress it back."
He leaned back in his chair tiredly and rubbed his brow with his hand. "I admit that three years ago, I really thought about using my life to suppress the upgrade speed of the Rule Tales and buy more time for Blue Star."
"Due to some force majeure, I was not able to die, so the ghost story copy was only quiet for three years, and that power awakened again."
"Fortunately, there is Mo Lian, otherwise, I dare not imagine what Blue Star is like now, and what Dragon Country we are in is like."
"There will be a lot of suffering, it will be like hell, right?"
"If my life can calm these disasters, even death is better."
Lin Zhanbei knew that what he said was right and understood his feelings, but he couldn't accept it no matter what.
"Changsheng, I understand that you have seen too many deaths of people around you, but your life is different from others, and it is destined to be this way."
"I still remember that eighty years ago, I was a nine-year-old child."
"I was a little beggar at that time. You passed by and gave me a piece of candy. You also took me to Shopkeeper Lan's and had a big meal with me."
"You asked me the other day, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"I said, I want all the people in our country to have enough food to eat."
His eyes were red, and his voice was faintly trembling, "I also ask you, is there anything you want to do."
"You said you were looking for someone."
"I asked again, who were you looking for, and you said you forgot."
Gu Changsheng was slightly stunned.
At that moment, memory went back and the scene returned to eighty years ago.
In the orchid garden, the sounds of singing and cheering could be heard continuously.
The little beggar next to him was very thin, but his eyes were shining. He said very loyally: "I know you are a young marshal with a high status, but when it comes to finding people, you still have to rely on people like us who walk the streets every day."
"Tell me, is the person you are looking for a man or a woman, tall or short, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly?"
Thinking back to this, Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips, "So, you are the little beggar."
Lin Zhanbei also laughed, "The day I joined the team at the age of sixteen, I followed you no matter what, because I recognized your identity."
"You changed your name, but your face is still the same as before. It's just that your life is not as good as when you were the young commander. It looks a little darker."
"I told you that my name is Lin Zhanbei, but you seem to have forgotten who I am."
"Captain Gu, I don't have many years left to live. Can you please not let me die young?"
"Zhan Bei, I'm older than you." Gu Changsheng corrected him, "I have forgotten a lot, but in my memory, I have witnessed four dynasties."
"I keep experiencing this situation where older people send younger people off."
"I am mentally prepared and can bear it. I promise you."
"I will not seek death while you are alive."
The topic became heavy again, and Lin Zhanbei didn't know what to say, so he had to divert attention.
"Captain Gu, why did you disguise yourself like this today? If we weren't so familiar with each other, we would hardly recognize you."
Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes, picked up a cup of tea and sipped it, then said: "Ling Feng said that this is called makeup."
Lin Zhanbei exclaimed in amazement, "That's not makeup, it's disguise. I guarantee that even if you don't wear a mask, Mo Lian won't be able to recognize your face!"
Chapter 139 You Are Suitable to Be Patients
Chapter 139 You Are Suitable to Be Patients
Mo Lian moved all the pink roses in the hall to the yard, and only placed the one given by the 'great god' on the table.
I put all my new clothes neatly into the closet and was about to go wash up when I heard the phone ringing.
"Hello?"
The phone was connected, and a man's clear and calm voice came from the other end.
"Asleep?"
"No, Master, do you have something to talk to me about?" Mo Lian was puzzled.
On the other end of the phone, the man chuckled, "Have you forgotten that you are still injured?"
"If you're not asleep, wait for me to come over."
"good."
Mo Lian lowered his head and noticed that his dark blue Taoist robe was stained with a large spot on his left shoulder. The color was too dark to be noticeable.
Less than ten minutes after I put down my phone, two figures had already walked to the door of Lianju.
When Gu Changsheng saw that the pink roses he had given away were being moved out, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
As you walk through the high red threshold, the first thing you see is a single pink rose in bud on the wooden table in the living room, embedded in a piece of blue and white porcelain worth a million dollars.
"Oh, who is so romantic to send so many roses?" Behind him, a young male doctor in a white coat said sarcastically, "It's a pity that they were all thrown into the yard."
Mo Lian heard the voice and looked up to meet Gu Changsheng's eyes.
At this moment, he was still wearing a black mask, but the clothes he was wearing were not the same ones as before.
The casual and comfortable black gown is retro and low-key. The silver-gray hair is out of tune with the clothes, yet strangely harmonious, mysterious, calm, and fashionable.
His eyes fell on Mo Lian's shoulder, his eyes were slightly shimmering, "Doctor Qiao, check Mo Lian's wound."
"I know." Qiao Ziyu glared at him. "Men and women should not touch each other. Please wait outside, Master Gu. I will call you when it is done."
"Yeah." Gu Changsheng turned and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Qiao Ziyu walked up to Mo Lian and put the medicine box on the table. "Sui'an said that your left shoulder was seriously injured. Take off your clothes and let me see."
Mo Lian didn't act pretentiously. He took off one sleeve of his Taoist robe, revealing a wound that was bleeding.
If you get injured in the Rule Ghost Story dungeon, the injury will be carried into reality.
"It's so cold, and you're only wearing so little. Aren't you cold?" Qiao Ziyu asked.
It is now the end of autumn and winter will come soon, but the girl is only wearing a thin Taoist robe with a very thin lining and no sleeves.
Mo Lian did not answer him, but asked: "Do you have any problem with my great god?"
Qiao Ziyu paused while cleaning the blood from the wound, and suddenly laughed, "Today your master stripped me of my clothes and embarrassed me in front of the entire hospital and the leaders of the Weird Management Committee. Do you think I should have any opinion on him?"
"Why did he take your clothes off?"
"He wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but as his attending physician, I certainly couldn't agree to that, so he knocked me out and took my clothes."
"The great god is so awesome."
Qiao Ziyu: "???"
Mo Lian's words almost made his hands, which were sewing, tremble, tearing her skin and making the injury worse.
Fortunately, he has superb skills and a steady hand.
Forcing himself to calm down, he couldn't help but speak, "He didn't take care of the doctor properly and escaped from the hospital. What's so great about that?"
Mo Lian smiled brightly, "The great master actually thought of stripping the doctor's clothes. If I had knocked Gu Changsheng unconscious and then walked out of the mental hospital wearing his clothes, I wouldn't have been discovered, right?"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Annoyance flashed in the girl's eyes, and Qiao Ziyu's mouth twitched fiercely, "I think you are suitable to be fellow patients. No doctor would dare to take over."
He sewed up the wound and reminded her, "It's not a serious injury. It's just a superficial wound. It will heal in a few days."
"Be careful recently and don't touch water."
"By the way, if possible, you'd better persuade the donkey outside the door to stop being so busy recently and take a good rest."
After hearing his words, Mo Lian remembered the news online that Gu Sui'an had cardiac arrest and was admitted to the intensive care unit.
When I met him in person, I thought it was just a rumor, but his attending physician looked very serious and no matter how I looked at it, his condition must not be too mild.
"Can you tell me the true situation of the Great God this time?"
"His heart stopped for two days and two nights. We've tried all means of saving his life. He now has three slightly broken ribs and is still running around. I've been practicing medicine for ten years, and I've never seen a patient seeking death like this." Qiao Ziyu clenched his teeth.
Mo Lian frowned, her eyes full of self-blame, "The Master escaped from the hospital just to pick me up."
Qiao Ziyu wanted to tell her that the guy had a criminal record, but when he thought that she didn't know that Gu Sui'an and Gu Changsheng were the same person, he swallowed his words and turned to shout outside the door, "You can come in."
Gu Changsheng pushed open the door and suddenly met Mo Lian's worried gaze.
Qiao Ziyu couldn't bear to watch this, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Mo Lian, Professor Gu hasn't been hospitalized in the past year. Why don't you beat him up one day and send him in?"
"He didn't do anything wrong. I need to find a perfect excuse to beat him up," said Mo Lian.
"Mental illness recurs over and over again, so it's normal to have an occasional episode."
"You're right, but he won't be back until tomorrow."
The two of them were unscrupulous and openly discussed how to send themselves to the hospital. Gu Changsheng sat at the desk with a blank expression, "Professor Gu said that he won't be back tomorrow, so your idea is in vain."
Qiao Ziyu looked at him teasingly.
Mo Lian asked: "When will he come back?"
"Next week." Gu Changsheng calmly made up a date for his return without blushing or beating his heart.
"Then no one will send me to Tao College."
"I'll take it."
Qiao Ziyu shook his head and laughed, packed up his medicine box, stood up and walked out, "I will be staying in Gu Garden for the time being, so it will be convenient for me to take care of the patients. Call me if you have anything."
As soon as he left, Mo Lian approached Gu Changsheng and said, "Master, I'm injured. Can I take a leave to study at home?"
"How long will it take?" Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes and looked at her hand that was holding his sleeve.
"Seven days."
"In seven days, the strange rules will come, and you will miss a lot of classes."
"Master, can you stay and give me extra lessons?"
The girl's eyes sparkled. "You are the principal, you must know a lot more than other teachers. With you here, I will definitely not fail the exam."
This was the first time that Mo Lian begged him with a very sincere attitude.
Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment, "Okay, then I'll tell Mr. Gu that I'll stay in the guest room for the next few days."
"How can I let the great god talk about this? I will talk to Grandpa Gu."
Before he could speak, Mo Lian's phone had already been dialed, "Grandpa, I have a friend who wants to stay for a few days, is that okay?"
Lin Zhanbei didn't think much about it and agreed without hesitation, "Since he is your friend, you can just make the arrangements. You don't need to tell grandpa."
"Okay, then I'll let him stay in the Lotus Garden guest room. It's more convenient this way."
"Okay, okay, young man, you should make more friends. When you have time, bring them here and let grandpa see them."
"Okay, I'll go see Grandpa tomorrow."
An old man and a young man, with one phone call, booked Gu Changsheng's room next to Mo Lian's.
He frowned slightly, and while Mo Lian was on the phone, he secretly sent a message to Ling Feng, "Send all the makeup items I used today to Gu Garden and put them in the theater."Chapter 140 Red GhostChapter 140 Red GhostGu Garden, theater.
Ling Feng worked hard to move two boxes of makeup boxes into the backstage.
He took out his cell phone and was about to send a green bubble to Gu Changsheng when he saw a tall figure approaching.
The man was only wearing a bathrobe, and his hair was still slightly steamy. It was obvious that he had just come out of the bathroom.
"Brother Gu, why do you need so many things so late at night?"
"Could it be that there are night activities?"
"Who is so important that our Imperial Prince would go to so much trouble to please her by putting on makeup?"
He winked and looked ambiguous, "Is it Mo Lian, or your little rabbit?"
Gu Changsheng sat in front of the old-fashioned dressing table, looking at the cold face in the mirror, and said in a calm voice: "Ling Feng, put on full makeup for me, so that Mo Lian can't recognize me."
"Recognize it, and you will stay inside the Antarctic ice wall for the rest of your life."
"Tsk~" Ling Feng curled his lips, "You only know how to threaten me, if you have the guts, do it yourself."
Although she said this, her body was honest as she took out various makeup tools and applied them to Gu Changsheng's face.
Seeing that she had applied too much foundation, Gu Changsheng frowned and said, "Make it lighter. I'm not going to sing."
"If you're not singing, then why are you coming to the theater so late at night?"
"It's remote, so we won't be discovered."
"So there comes a day you're afraid of." Ling Feng gloated.
Gu Changsheng didn't respond.
He raised his eyelids slightly, looked through the ancient dressing mirror, and saw Ling Feng's busy figure.
At that moment, it seemed as if time had traveled back to that winter when plum blossoms bloomed and snow fell.
In the theater, the actors were wearing thin clothes and practicing their body movements in the yard.
Gu Changsheng, wearing a jacket from the Republic of China, made his way smoothly to the backstage of the theater without anyone stopping him.
That has always been his habit.
Everyone in the theater was used to it and was not surprised by him coming here to watch Manager Lan putting on her makeup.
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng recalled Shopkeeper Lan's eyes, a pair of bright and affectionate peach blossom eyes, especially when he was performing on the stage, they were filled with tears and hatred.
It was a familiar look, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
More than eighty years have passed, and that familiar feeling reappears on Mo Lian, but the difference is...
She doesn't need makeup to look like one.
But the person he was looking for might have died long ago.
…
When Gu Changsheng returned to Lianju, it was already midnight.
The moon and stars are sparse.
The light is dim under the winding corridor.
Suddenly, the lights went out and the surroundings fell into an eerie darkness.
He paused.
At this moment, a dark shadow flew out from the garden, making a slight "rustling" sound.
A cold breath spread.
"Yin energy?" Gu Changsheng frowned and reached into his pocket subconsciously, then he remembered that he had changed into a bathrobe and didn't bring anything with him.
There are security guards outside the Gu Garden, and there are many Feng Shui formations placed inside the garden, which can not only gather energy but also prevent some messy things.
Such places are most disgusting to certain things with strong yin energy.
Then, it must have been instructed by someone to come here!
The black shadow was very fast and after a few dodges, it disappeared from sight.
Gu Changsheng thought that Mo Lian was still living in Lianju, so he quickly climbed over the wall and ran towards the main courtyard.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Dabai barked wildly at Mo Lian's door, his whole fur standing on end, like an angry little lion.
Although it looked ferocious, Gu Changsheng discovered that its body was trembling.
He walked forward and knocked on the door, "Mo Lian, open the door, I have something to talk to you about."
The lights in the room were off and no one responded.
Gu Changsheng took out his cell phone and made a call, but no one answered.
The night was exceptionally quiet. Apart from Dabai's cries, not even the slightest movement could be felt.
"Bang--"
The sound of a formation came from the bedroom.
"Mo Lian!" Gu Changsheng didn't care about whether it was convenient or not. He ran to the bedroom window, kicked the lattice window to pieces, and rushed into the room.
The pink curtains fluttered, and the floor was covered with wooden window debris.
With the help of the silver moonlight, he saw a woman in red with disheveled hair standing inside the pink bed curtains of the bed.
She raised her arms high, and the black gold cone in her hand flashed dazzling golden light, mixed with bursts of black air.
The tip of the cone was extremely sharp, pointing right at Mo Lian's forehead.
"Mo Lian, be careful!" Gu Changsheng's mind went blank and his body flew towards Mo Lian uncontrollably.
At that moment, my heart felt tight, stuffy and painful.
However, the bedroom was too big, and even though he was very fast, he could not be faster than the woman in red.
My breathing stagnated, and familiar yet unfamiliar fragments flooded into my mind.
"Sui'an is a good name. I wish you peace for all your life, immortality, and a life all alone."
"Time will reveal all conspiracies and tricks."
"It's a pity that I may never see the day you regret it."
"I'm not wrong."
"I didn't kill anyone either."
"You all say that I have an ominous reputation, but in my opinion, you are the ones with dark hearts."
"I have never been the jealous, arrogant, condescending, and insatiable person."
Gu Changsheng couldn't see the face clearly, but he could feel that the girl he was hugging was very thin. It was a snowy day, and she was only wearing a light pink ancient long skirt. Her clothes were stained with blood, and the ground was covered with bright red.
There was blood on the corners of her lips, and she smiled wantonly, "If we can only let one of us live, then I will let you live forever."
"And I... will live in your memory, Dongfang Sui'an, please don't forget me."
Gu Changsheng fell to his knees with a thud and couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled.
The world before my eyes was no longer Mo Lian's bedroom.
He was holding someone in his arms. It was the girl in pink that flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't see her face clearly.
"Who are you?"
"Tell me, who are you?"
Gu Changsheng's voice was low and hoarse, his heart was torn, the feeling of excruciating pain came over him again, and his breathing gradually became difficult.
Knowing that this scene might be his lost memory, he tried his best to find clues on the girl.
His anxious eyes fell on the black gold cone at the position of her heart, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
It is not a physical object, but its tyrannical and overbearing power cannot be ignored. Once injured by it, the consequences will be disastrous.
This is exactly what was in the hands of the woman in red who just broke into Gu Garden.
She wants to use this powerful weapon to harm Mo Lian!
Gu Changsheng bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. He forced himself to regain consciousness and break free from the miasma.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" the woman's screams echoed through the silent room.
He raised his head, and the scene before him made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Mo Lian closed his eyes, grabbed the neck of the woman in red with one hand, and stabbed the black gold cone with the other hand towards the woman's forehead.
Once, again and again, more than ten times in total.
The woman in red could still scream at the beginning, but her voice became quieter as time went on, until her figure turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
"bite..."
The black golden cone suddenly flew over like an arrow, passed by Gu Changsheng's ear, and sank deeply into the cabinet door behind him.
Mo Lian lowered his head, closed his eyes, and walked towards him step by step.
"Mo Lian, wake up." Fear flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes, but he stepped back without saying a word.
Just as he was about to jump out of the window and go back to get the sedative, he was trapped in place by an invisible force.
The girl slowly came up to him, her sickly and pale face half hidden in the darkness, and her pair of red eyes stared at him quietly for a long time, as if confirming something.
"Mo Lian, you..." Before Gu Changsheng could finish his words, his slender neck was grabbed by the girl's slender hands.
"Dongfang Sui'an, I found you!"
Chapter 141 Mo Lian is shocked
Chapter 141 Mo Lian is shocked
Gu Garden is also a real residence.
"Grandpa, I suspect there are unclean things in Lianju."
"Oh?" Lin Zhanbei looked at Mo Lian, who was sitting under the rose trellis, with an amused look on his face. "Tell Grandpa, what happened?"
"Last night, my window was broken, and there was a hole this big on the wardrobe." Mo Lian used her hands to show Lin Zhanbei the size of the hole, "Also, Gu Sui'an, who lives next door to me, is nowhere to be found."
"The phone call is not working."
"I sent him a message, but he didn't reply." Mo Lian was dejected. "Grandpa, could he have been captured by the weird?"
"You kid, you have to believe in science." Lin Zhanbei turned around and pointed to the slender figure walking around the corner of the corridor, and said jokingly, "Look, the person you're waiting for is here, isn't he?"
Mo Lian immediately turned her head and looked. At the end of her sight, a man in a retro black gown slowly walked through the vermilion corridor, passed the flowers, and sat opposite her.
The man's silver-gray hair glowed with a hint of warm gold under the morning sun. He still had a mask on his face, so one could only see a pair of narrow, dark eyes.
"God, it's time for breakfast."
"That's right. He disappeared so early that my little girl couldn't even eat." Lin Zhanbei joked.
Mo Lian looked a little uncomfortable, "No, Dabai is hungry."
She opened the food box on the table, divided the food, picked up a pork chop and fed it to the little white dog at her feet, "You've been hungry all morning, eat quickly."
Gu Changsheng stared at her for a long while before asking, "Mo Lian, do you still remember what happened last night?"
"What's the matter?" Mo Lian was confused.
Seeing her eyes full of doubt, Gu Changsheng retracted his gaze, "It's okay, you're not hungry, have breakfast."
Mo Lian found it a little strange that he had something to say but looked like he didn't want to continue.
She picked up the bread and nibbled on it, then took a big sip of milk. When she looked up, she realized that the person opposite her was still wearing a mask and hadn't touched the food in front of him. "Master, these breakfasts don't suit your taste?"
"No."
"Then why don't you eat it?"
"I was thinking about the thief who broke into Gu Garden yesterday. But don't worry, I have already dealt with it." Gu Changsheng raised his hand to take off his mask, took his plate, picked up the knife and fork to cut the pork chops.
The sun shone through the gaps in the roses, and dots of fluorescence fell on him like stars, hazy, distant, and with a kind of beautiful tranquility.
He lowered his head slightly, and Mo Lian could only see his general outline.
Some look familiar, yet some look strange.
"Sui'an, what's wrong with your mouth?" Lin Zhanbei, who was sitting next to the two of them, came close to Gu Changsheng and looked at him curiously.
Only then did Mo Lian see clearly that the corners of the man's mouth were slightly red, and there was even a hint of blood seeping out.
"Great God, you..."
"I was accidentally bitten by a dog." Gu Changsheng's voice was indifferent, without any trace of joy or anger.
Mo Lian looked at the only 'dog' in Gu Garden with a shocked expression, "Did the master get bitten when he kissed Dabai?"
"Woof~"
The big white round eyes are innocent and the little short tail is shaking excitedly.
Gu Changsheng looked at her deeply, without eating a single bite, and put on his mask again.
He pushed the plate of pork chops in front of the girl and said, "I've already asked for leave from the academy. You guys eat first. I have something to go out for."
He stood up and left the same way he came.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with him?" Mo Lian followed his back with his eyes.
Lin Zhanbei seemed to be thinking about something. "Maybe he went to deal with the thief from last night. Let's eat and ignore him."
…
Xianweitang, top floor office area.
Different from the overall style, there are infrared rays and various blue light identification screens everywhere.
Gu Changsheng passed through smoothly and arrived at the innermost metal cabin.
"Brother Gu, why are you here?" Ling Feng, who was checking information in front of his notebook, heard the noise and turned around to look over.
"Help me check something." Gu Changsheng flicked his hand, and a dark gold cone slipped out of his sleeve.
"There's a red spider lily engraved on it. Could it be from the Palace of Eternal Life?"
Ling Feng took the black gold cone and looked at it.
The whole thing is black, and the concave part is painted with gold liquid, which looks like some kind of ancient talisman. The bottom is painted with the blood of some unknown animal and then sealed with transparent gum. The pattern is a colorful and enchanting red spider lily.
"It feels cold to the touch, and has a strong yin energy. This is clearly an evil weapon!"
"Brother Gu, are you being targeted by the people from the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"It's not me, it's Mo Lian."
Gu Changsheng frowned, "Notify Nanji and ask them to send ten people to the Imperial Capital. Nothing can happen to her."
Ling Feng raised his head and saw his swollen lips. The corners of his mouth twitched, "You've been beaten like this, and you're still worried about Mo Lian."
"No, your injury..."
"Oh my god, brother, were you kissed?"
"Who is it that bites so hard that even thick makeup can't cover it up?"
"Ask again. Wait until the people from Antarctica come, then you can go back." Gu Changsheng glanced at him coldly, turned around, stepped out of the cabin with a pair of long legs, and drove back to Gu Garden.
For the first time in his life, his spirit was not in his body. When he came to his senses, he had arrived outside the Lotus Courtyard.
In a pile of pink roses, Mo Lian was sitting at a stone table, reading a book seriously.
The girl was wearing an off-white cloak, and she looked delicate and fresh, like a flower bud about to bloom. One couldn't tell at all that within her weak body, there was hidden an unfathomable mysterious power.
Where does Mo Lian come from?
Who again?
These two questions made Gu Changsheng feel inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.
"God, you're back?"
Mo Lian felt someone was watching her. When she looked up, she saw a tall and slender figure standing under the pavilion. As always, the mask covered half of his face.
Gu Changsheng came back to his senses and walked slowly to her side. "How is it? Can you understand it?"
"Some I can understand, some I half understand."
"Which ones?"
"I don't know where to start drawing these talismans." Mo Lian turned the pages of the book.
Gu Changsheng sat down on the bench next to her and said, "The Taoist Academy has not taught us this far yet. Don't rush. You need to have a deep understanding of Taoist classics and not just read the superficial knowledge."
"But I seem to know everything." Mo Lian's eyebrows curved, "How about Principal Gu test me?"
"Okay, then I'll ask the questions." Gu Changsheng walked into the Lianju study and took out a stack of paper, a brush, ink, cinnabar, etc.
He wrote and drew on the paper, and soon, a pile of questions was delivered to Mo Lian.
Mo Lian's eyes flickered, "Master, if I answer all the questions correctly, do you have any reward for me?"
There was a hint of cunning in the girl's innocent look, and the expectation in her eyes was not concealed at all. She was not at all like the madman who was unconscious last night and pressed him against the cabinet door and kissed him forcefully.
Thinking of the kiss last night, the injured corners of my mouth still hurt slightly.
Gu Changsheng was so angry that he chuckled, and said meaningfully, "As long as you answer all the questions correctly, I will give you a big gift."Chapter 142 Gu Sui'an, You Are Such a Devil
Chapter 142 Gu Sui'an, You Are Such a Devil
Mo Lian had a total of six papers in his hand. The questions were all about things he had learned in the Taoist Academy. However, the angles were very tricky and required a lot of time to calculate.
By the time everything was done, four and a half days had passed.
She yawned and looked up at the man working on his laptop, "Master, I've finished answering."
Gu Changsheng closed the chat box with Ling Feng, took the paper and flipped through it casually, his lips curved, "Not bad, 99% correct, the remaining part is a bit controversial, it's hard to say right or wrong, I give you full marks."
"Then, great god, what is my reward?"
Mo Lian looked at him expectantly, her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, shining brightly and glitteringly.
Gu Changsheng took out a thick book from the business backpack at his feet and handed it to her. "This is the topic I sorted out in the past few days. Take it back and work on it slowly."
That book is as thick as a palm.
Mo Lian's mouth twitched, "Master, today, my filter for you is broken."
A black mask covered the corners of Gu Changsheng's lips. When he finished reading the information sent by Ling Feng and looked at Mo Lian again, he found that she was so tired that she fell asleep.
A light breeze blew through the girl's raven-blue hair, and her long eyelashes trembled.
Her face was very pale, as if she had been lacking energy and blood for years. There was not a trace of blood in her face, and she looked sickly and fragile.
Especially now that she is sleeping soundly, she looks so peaceful and beautiful, which makes people feel a desire to protect her for no reason.
But Gu Changsheng knew that she was not someone who needed to hide behind a man and wait to be protected.
At this moment, the girl's soft lips moved slightly, and she whispered something inaudible. He leaned closer and heard what she said...
"Gu Sui'an, you are such a devil."
A smile flashed across Gu Changsheng's eyes. He took off his windbreaker, draped it over Mo Lian's shoulders, picked her up sideways, and carried her into Lianju's bedroom.
Tomorrow is the day when the rule ghost story comes, Mo Lian needs to have a good rest.
Just as he was about to leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a soft but cold hand. The temperature was just like the kiss that night, very cold, like the cold of winter, and it could not be melted.
"Gu Sui'an, can you please stay alive?" Mo Lian was clearly asleep, but his hands were very strong.
Gu Changsheng couldn't leave, and didn't want to disturb her sweet dreams, so he had to sit by the bed and sighed softly, "Mo Lian, who are you and where are you from?"
He asked Ling Feng to investigate for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace.
It was as if Mo Lian was a person who appeared out of thin air, without any identity information.
now...
The only direction left for investigation is the mysterious Palace of Eternal Life!
…
When Mo Lian woke up again, it was already dark.
In the cold light of the moon, she saw a person sitting quietly beside her bed.
"Who?" She exerted force with her hands and pressed the person under her body, and then she could see the man in front of her clearly.
"God, why are you in my room?"
"You're holding me tightly, and I can't get away." Gu Changsheng turned his head and looked at his hand that was still being held tightly. "Please be merciful. I need to rush to the Weird Management Committee immediately."
"Is the weird talk about rules about to begin?" Mo Lian, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
Gu Changsheng stood up and reminded: "One hour at most. To prevent accidents, I advise you to change clothes immediately. Remember, don't take a shower."
"Why?"
"Be careful of the ghost story. You can only choose between social death and missing the copy."
"That's a hard choice."
"That's right." Gu Changsheng tidied his clothes, stood up, turned on the light, walked out of the bedroom, and left the space for Mo Lian.
[The mouth-watering blue star cuties, the rules and strange stories are coming again]
[Please make your choice if you already have a Chosen One. If there is no Chosen One or if a Chosen One has given up participating in the dungeon, a lucky winner will be randomly selected.]
[Difficulty of this instance: ★★★★☆]
[Instance type: Single player]
[Mortality rate of the Chosen: 85%]
Mo Lian had just changed into a pink sportswear when she heard a cold and playful voice coming from the sky.
The voice of a ghost story is sometimes as cold and heartless as a machine.
Sometimes, the tone is as condescending as if teasing an ant.
When she pressed the confirm button and was enveloped by a black and red light and forcibly pulled into darkness, people in most countries on the entire Blue Star were startled by the prompt sound of the strange story.
[Is the dungeon type single player? This was clearly announced, I remember it was five years ago]
[Yes! The dungeon wasn't too difficult back then, but later on, as more and more people died, the difficulty got higher and higher.]
[I remember that the dungeon type was not indicated at the beginning. It was the time when General Gu was ambushed by someone.]
[Now that you mention it, I remember it now. It is really like this.]
[So what's going on now? Could it be that the Rule Ghost Story has a change of heart and decided to lower the difficulty? ]
[I always feel that things are not that simple]
Various speculations were made in the Longguo live broadcast room. At the weird management meeting, everyone looked at each other, not understanding why this weird copy had changed again.
Only Gu Changsheng, who knew the inside story in advance, walked slowly to the screen behind his desk and opened his notebook.
He reinforced the seal himself, and paid a heavy price for it.
Elder Zhou came over immediately and saw that he looked pale and worried. "Xiao Gu, you are not well yet. It would be better to let Xiao Qi do the task you suggested."
"No need." Gu Changsheng said calmly, "The Rules Strange Talk seems to be back to normal, but it hasn't started yet. No one knows the specific situation. I need to see it in person to feel at ease."
"I will take a proper rest during the trip, so it won't affect my body."
"I can't persuade you. If you feel unwell, don't force yourself. Be sure to tell me." Mr. Zhou sat beside him with helplessness in his eyes, intending to keep an eye on his condition at all times.
"Principal Gu, how is my good disciple doing these days? Has his injury healed?" Xuan Lingzi was sitting opposite the desk and looked at him.
"He can eat and sleep, and his mind is clear. There's nothing serious." Gu Changsheng lowered his eyes to hide the darkness that flashed across his eyes.
The power of the Temple of Eternal Life is too great. He has been investigating for many years and discovered that this evil cult has already taken root in many countries on Blue Star and is lurking in various fields, making it very difficult to find.
Even though Mo Lian, the experimental subject, was lost, he was able to bring them out of the water.
They even risked exposing the church and using evil spirits to risk entering Gu Garden to kill her.
This can only mean that there is something on Mo Lian that is very important to them.
Or maybe they only want Mo Lian's body, not a living person!
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
The idea of binding Mo Lian, Longguo, and the entire Taoism together became more determined.
He raised his eyes, his gaze was calm and deep, and looked at Xuan Lingzi, raised his hand and handed over a stack of answered test questions, "These are the answers Mo Lian has done recently, Fellow Daoist Xuan, please take a look too."
Xuan Lingzi took it and after looking at it for a few minutes, he stood up and said excitedly, "Great, great! This question itself is very mysterious, but the way to answer it is even more wonderful!"Chapter 143 We are a harmonious family (5)
Chapter 143 We are a harmonious family (5)
Mo Lian was pulled into the darkness, and only after the strange rules had selected all the chosen ones did he hear the mechanical electronic sound.
[Welcome to the Rule Strange Stories Dungeon: We are a harmonious family]
[Winter vacation is coming, and the students have left school and returned to their families. As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. Please, the chosen ones, mediate the conflicts between family members and spend the next happy time in peace.]
[Clearance requirements: Survive for ten days]
[Get all the clues, pass the level with a perfect score, and leave the dungeon early]
[Chosen ones, please find the rules as quickly as possible and be ready to receive warm greetings from family members]
The sound of the ghost story disappeared, and Mo Lian's eyes lit up, and he found himself in a room full of books.
This is a very small bedroom with a single bed against the wall. The white sheets are clean and tidy. On both sides of the bed, there is a lamp emitting a faint green light on the bedside table.
Not far away, apart from the desk and wardrobe, there were only two walls of bookshelves.
Mo Lian searched for a long time and finally found the note of rules in a blood-stained school uniform in the closet.
[Rule 1: There are five people in your family: grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, you, and your younger brother]
[Rule 2: Remember, you are a top student. Your favorite thing to do every day is to read. As long as you don't die from reading, read until you die.]
[Rule 3: Your father has a very bad temper and he likes children who study hard the most]
[Rule 4: If you have a mother who only knows how to cry, when you see her crying, please pretend you didn't see it]
[Rule 5: Your mother cares about your health]
[Rule 6: When Dad is at home, you must comfort Mom and never let her cry]
[Rule 7: Your younger brother is very naughty and will come to play games with you every morning. At this time, you must close the door to prevent your father from discovering you two]
[Rule 8: The whole family dotes on your younger brother, so don't reject any of his requests]
[Rule 9: Your grandfather has a weird temper and your father is very afraid of him]
[Rule 10: After midnight, do not go to the bathroom. You must sleep on the desk. After you hear the door open and close, lock the door and then go to bed.]
[Rule 11: Your grandma has bad legs and feet, don't forget to push her to the dining table before breakfast every day]
[Rule 12: A harmonious family should eat together]
[Rule 13: Attention, there is a dead person in your house, and this person cannot leave the house]
The rules this time did not mention any wrong options, but each one of them sounded chilling.
When Long Guo saw these thirteen rules in the live broadcast room, he held his breath.
[Such a single-player instance has been encountered before, but compared to this one, it is so easy]
[Yes, this is the upgraded version of a loving family. Although there are no wrong options marked, it feels like there are pitfalls no matter how you look at it.]
[The key is, there is a dead person in the family, who is this dead person, will it pose a danger to the Chosen One? ]
[The whole family dotes on my younger brother, could he be the dead man? ]
Everyone was having fun guessing when suddenly a loud knock on the door was heard on the live broadcast screen, which scared them.
The sound was more like pounding on the door than knocking on it.
"Boom boom boom…"
The door panel kept shaking, as if someone would break in at any second.
Everyone held their breath and dared not say a word.
Mo Lian tore up the note as quickly as possible and threw it out of the window. He thought about the rules in his mind and was about to take a book to open the door, but he found a photo frame in the corner of the bookshelf.
The glass in front of the photo shattered into a spider web shape, revealing a group photo of six people.
[Rule 1: There are five people in your family: grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, you, and your younger brother]
The rules state that there are five people, but the number of family members given is six.
In the photo, the grandfather has white hair and a gloomy face; the grandmother is thin and sitting in a wheelchair; the father is holding a chubby little boy, and the mother is standing beside the grandmother with a hunched back.
Mo Lian herself was standing in the middle behind her grandparents, wearing a school uniform, her hair tied in a ponytail, and a large black frame covering half of her face. She looked old-fashioned and dull, as if she had been severely whipped by studying, and there was no light in her eyes.
At this time, a strange mechanical sound came from the sky.
[The Chosen Ones from thirteen countries including Myanmar, Elephant Country, and Vietnam were killed, the rules were weird and punishments were randomly imposed, there was an 18-level storm, a half-year drought, a new virus, and a strange city]
It was a single-player dungeon that people thought was relatively easy to survive, but at the beginning, there was a knock on the door and more than a dozen people were killed.
Everyone on Blue Star felt a tightness in their hearts, and at the same time, they felt that this was indeed the case.
Dragon Country Weird Management Committee.
Mr. Zhou's face was heavy. "Send the video of the deceased Chosen One over here."
"Yes." The person in charge followed the order and transmitted the images of the moment of death of the Chosen Ones of several countries to the computer in front of Mr. Zhou.
Among them, ten chosen ones were punched in the head by their ferocious-looking father the moment they opened the door.
There were three other chosen ones who, like Mo Lian, went to the bookshelf and found a book before opening the door. However, they were still stared at by their father, which made their scalps numb. They died of excessive fright.
The other three countries that were connected to Longguo via video also watched this scene, and all of them looked unhappy.
Gu Sui'an withdrew his gaze and saw Mo Lian take out glasses from the drawer and put them on, with an imperceptible curve at the corners of his lips.
In the copy, Mo Lian put on his glasses, turned the pages of a book, walked to the door while reading, and raised his hand to open it.
"What on earth are you doing? Why did you take so long to open the door?" The man's angry voice was a little harsh.
Mo Lian's eyes never left the book, and there was no trace of fear in her voice. "What does Dad want me to do so late at night?"
When the man saw that she was reading seriously, his irritable state disappeared and he became kind, "Come and help me take your grandma back to her room."
None of the thirteen rules states whether or not you can refuse your father's request.
Mo Lian remembered the title of the copy, we are a harmonious family, and decided to agree to it.
She rolled up the book she used to maintain her persona, stuffed it into her pocket, followed her father out of the room and into the spacious living room.
This house is a duplex with upper and lower floors.
Next to Mo Lian's bedroom, there is a room. At the corner of the stairs leading upstairs, there is a glass door. The light is on inside, revealing a thin, hunched figure. It should be the mother of this family.
The kitchen door was open and it was dark inside. All I could see was the bloody chopping board hanging on the wall.
Dad walked to the side of the wheelchair and looked up at Mo Lian who was looking around. "What are you daydreaming about? Come here quickly."
"Okay, Dad." Mo Lian walked quickly to his side and lifted the wheelchair high before his father could make a move.
Dad was stunned by her.
Mo Lian reminded, "It's getting dark, grandma needs to rest, please help me open grandma's door."
"Oh, okay." The man came to his senses, walked up the stairs and went to the second floor.
Mo Lian lifted the wheelchair high, causing the grandmother sitting on it to freeze in fear, not daring to move, "My dear grandson, be careful, don't let grandma fall."Chapter 144 Bloody HeadChapter 144 Bloody Head[Hahahaha… Look at our little sister Mo Lian. Dad was so shocked that he was almost speechless, and grandma didn't dare to move.]
[With Miss Mo Lian, it's another peaceful day]
[Don't say it, Mo Lian with black-framed glasses really has the temperament of a top student. You can tell at a glance that he is a good student.]
[Such a large black-framed glasses is a magical tool to seal beauty, but Mo Lian's face is still so beautiful that it makes people's heart beat. She is worthy of being my goddess.]
The people in the live broadcast room posted various comments of praise.
In a mountainous area on the border of Long Country, strange and creepy "chuckling" laughter can be heard from time to time.
"I heard on the Internet that you are the girlfriend of General Gu's grandson?"
Chu Ling, whose hands and feet were tied, had her chin pinched by the man's rough big hands, forcing her to raise her head.
The man in front of him had his face wrapped in black cloth, revealing only a pair of vicious eyes.
Her mouth was sealed with tape and she could only make "wuwuwu" sounds.
The man tore off the tape on her mouth without mercy. "Your parents and brother only cared about escaping and pushed you out alone. You must be very sad now, right?"
"Help us get close to Gu Changsheng and create an opportunity for us to take Mo Lian away."
"As long as you are successful, have money, have status, and the man you always think of, they will all belong to you. You don't need those family members."
"How about it, do you want to cooperate with us?"
As he spoke, he took out his tablet and placed it in front of Chu Ling.
"Look, we are both women, but Mo Lian is loved by the entire Dragon Kingdom, and the person you love only cares about her."
"Helping us is also helping yourself."
"She has the status of the Chosen One, and she will be able to study in the elite class of Dao Academy, and she will also have the chance to live in Gu Garden. Do you want it?" the man persuaded.
Chu Ling looked at Mo Lian walking up to the second floor in the copy, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
"It's no use looking for me. I'm not Gu Changsheng's girlfriend, and I can't get close to him."
The man laughed softly, "Don't be afraid, I have a way to let you get everything that Mo Lian has, and you just need to cooperate with us."
…
The rules are weird.
Mo Lian suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if danger was approaching quietly.
She looked at her grandmother who was exhausted from fear, and her father who was making her grandmother's bed like a filial son, and felt that she was overthinking.
"Good night, grandma. Dad, I haven't finished reading my book yet, so I'll go home first." Mo Lian turned around and suddenly saw an upside-down photo frame on the table. In front of the photo frame, there were many offerings, and a stick of incense was stuck on a bowl of white rice.
There were four incense sticks.
Mo Lian had just taken a step forward when she was stopped by a sturdy man, "It's getting dark, go back to your room and read."
"Okay." Mo Lian took out the book from his pocket, opened it, pretended to be studying seriously, and walked out the door.
The door behind him slammed shut.
She leaned against the door to listen to the noise inside, but the soundproofing was too good and she couldn't hear anything.
"My dear, what are you looking at?" The woman's gloomy voice was a little cold.
Mo Lian turned around and was suddenly met with a pair of eyes so pale that they had no pupils. The distance was too close and the strong smell of blood on the woman's body hit her in the face.
"My dear, why don't you say anything?" The woman grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
Mo Lian had no doubt that if he was not careful he would be swallowed by her and become food in her mouth.
[Rule 5: Your mother cares about your health]
Thinking of this rule, she calmly pushed up the frame of her glasses and said, "Mom, I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts. I want to ask grandma for something to eat."
Mom's face immediately returned to normal, and her eyes turned red with distress. "Grandma never eats snacks, where can she eat?"
"Go back to the room and wait. Mom will make you a midnight snack now."
"Thank you, Mom."
The woman hurried to the kitchen to turn on the light. Mo Lian followed her into the house, but was pushed out. "Go read a book, don't make trouble."
Then, the sound of chopping meat and bones was heard from inside.
Mo Lian looked at his wrist. The time on the watch showed half past ten. If he could hold on for another hour and a half, he would have the opportunity to get the reminder of the rules and ghost stories.
She returned to the room, and not long after, there was another knock on the door.
"My dear, come and open the door."
"I'm coming." Mo Lian, who never put down the book, got up and opened the door.
The thin woman walked into the room carrying a large plate, pushed aside the table full of books and homework, and put down the plate.
Mo Lian watched all this with a frown, his eyes falling on the food plate covered with a lid.
"Come and have dinner quickly." The woman held her arm with her cold hand and made her sit on the stool.
Mo Lian opened the lid and was unexpectedly caught into a pair of eyes that were open to the sky.
On the plate was a bloody head. The fear in the man's eyes could be easily felt even though he was dead.
The area between his eyebrows was smashed by the huge force, revealing white tofu pudding.
If Mo Lian hadn't been mentally strong, he would have probably vomited it out on the spot.
The woman next to him kept urging, "My dear, don't you like the food that mom cooks?"
"Eat quickly!"
"If you don't eat, Mom will start cooking." She licked her cracked lips, staring at Mo Lian with her eyes fixed, drooling.
Mo Lian knew that the meal she wanted to eat was most likely for herself.
[Damn, why does that head look so familiar? ]
[If I am not mistaken, this man seems to be the chosen one of Yue State. As soon as he opened the door of the room, he was punched in the head by his father]
[Rule Strange Talk: Feeding the Chosen One with such bloody food is really inhumane. I really admire Miss Mo Lian's calmness.]
[Stop talking, I'm lying on the toilet and vomiting. I'm about to vomit bile. Can someone help me call an ambulance?]
While Mo Lian was staring at the head in a daze, the chosen ones from the Ba Tie Kingdom and the Big Bear Kingdom returned to the bedroom immediately after leaving her grandmother's room. As a result, she did not meet her mother and missed a delicious midnight snack.
In Northern Canada, the Chosen One was also eavesdropping on the conversation between his father and grandmother outside the door, and unsurprisingly ran into his mother.
"My dear, what are you looking at?" the woman's voice was sinister.
The Chosen One of Northern Canada swallowed in fear and regretted not going downstairs earlier.
"Mom, I didn't see anything."
This one sentence made the woman's expression instantly ferocious, with the corners of her mouth stretched all the way to her ears, like she was smiling and angry at the same time.
"My dear, Mommy is hungry."
Before the Chosen One could escape, the woman bit off his head.
The live broadcast screen in Northern Canada went black, with only the sound of "crunching" chewing being heard.
Except for those who returned to the bedroom in time, among the chosen ones who discovered the clues and eavesdropped, only Mo Lian was still alive.
However, the situation is not good either, as he is being forced by his "mother" to eat human heads.
You will die if you don't eat it.
have eaten...
It will probably be a shadow for my whole life.
Time passed little by little, and it was almost twelve o'clock, and a new crisis was about to begin.
"My dear, aren't you hungry?"
"Eat quickly."
"Don't you like the dinner your mother made?"
In the woman's eyes, excitement and bloodthirstiness intertwined, and her gray face moved closer and closer to Mo Lian, "My dear, such delicious food, don't you really want to eat it?"
Chapter 145 Other People's Children
Chapter 145 Other People's Children
We were in a copy of the Hehemumu family. On the first night, before midnight, eighteen Chosen Ones had been killed, which was several more than the previous death toll.
At this time, the only remaining chosen ones from the eight nations were Mo Lian from the Dragon Kingdom.
Kenston from the United States.
Lina from Pakistan.
Kimir of the Great Bear Country.
Kim Hee-hyun from the Kimchi Kingdom, Ed from the Great Eagle Kingdom, Afei from the Odo Kingdom, and Yamano Umekawa from the Small Wa Kingdom.
Except for Mo Lian, the other seven people have all returned to the bedroom safely without any danger.
"The reminder time hasn't arrived yet, what should we do?" At the weird management meeting, Qi Xiangfeng stared at the girl on the screen with a nervous look on his face.
Gu Changsheng remained calm, "I believe Mo Lian can hold on until twelve o'clock."
"Brother Gu, what should our Chosen One do to avoid eating dead heads or being weirdly eaten by Mom?"
"You can use Rule 12 to avoid the current predicament, and then when the family gathers together, you can act accordingly."
[Rule 12: A harmonious family should eat together]
"I see." Qi Xiangfeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze, "Once we are out of this crisis, I think we can use my brother to avoid cannibalism."
"That's right." Gu Changsheng turned to look at him and curled his lips slightly, "You have made progress. Keep up the good work."
…
Mo Lian did not use the method that the Weird Management Council came up with. She chose to take direct action against her mother Weirdly.
She met the woman's pale eyes, her pupils lit up red, and she activated her SSS-level talent, the gold medal brainwasher skill.
My mother's face was filled with pain, and there was a hint of fear in her distorted expression.
"Bang!"
Without any hint from the rules, she blew herself up.
"What's going on?"
In the past, when there were targets that could not be brainwashed, the reasons would be explained in advance, but now, there is nothing.
"Da da da…"
A light sound of footsteps approached the door stealthily.
Mo Lian immediately regained his composure, quickly stood up, picked up the plate in front of him, and threw the head and the plate together out of the window.
After doing all this, she went back to her desk, opened her book, and lay on it pretending to sleep.
[Rule 10: At midnight, do not go to the bathroom. You must sleep on the desk. After you hear the door open and close, lock the door and go to bed.]
"Squeak~"
The door was gently pushed open a little from the outside.
Mo Lian had his back to the person who was coming, so he couldn't see clearly who was secretly spying on him.
He stared at her for ten minutes before looking away, and then the sound of the door closing was heard.
After a while, he sat up and went to lock the door.
It was late at night. She was lying on her single bed, planning to replenish her mental strength when she suddenly saw a rope hanging on the windowsill with a knot at the bottom.
That's the knot people use to hang themselves!
Mo Lian suddenly woke up and looked again, but there was nothing. The scene seemed to be an illusion she had created.
"Captain, keep watch."
"Meow~" The black cat was summoned out from the ghost story space, lying beside Mo Lian's pillow, watching everything in the bedroom vigilantly.
"Master, the atmosphere in your room seems wrong."
"What's wrong?" Mo Lian touched the black cat's furry little head, and it squinted its eyes with a look of enjoyment.
"This feeling is just like the Flower Sea Ghost Story and the King's Pagoda we entered together last time."
"You mean, the place where I live is a different dimension?"
"Um."
"If so, whose obsession created this space?" Mo Lian gradually fell asleep while thinking.
The first day was successfully passed without any major incidents, and the leaders of the strangely managed congregation also relaxed.
According to experience, there is a high probability that no accidents will occur in the next period of time.
Mr. Zhou is old and can't stay up late.
He stood up, and before leaving, he reminded the pale young man beside him, "Xiao Gu, you promised me that you would rest when it's time to rest."
"If you end up in the emergency room again, your grandfather and I might have to go in with you."
"I'm old, how can I stand your scaring?"
"I know, Mr. Zhou." There was a video call. Gu Changsheng was wearing a mask today and was not wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He agreed verbally, but then closed the computer and took it away.
Mr. Zhou sighed, "I can't keep staring at the rules and strange stories. I have to sleep."
"Xiao Qi, accompany him to the lounge and take a break from your shift."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Qi Xiangfeng also stood up and picked up his laptop, as well as the notebook and pen that Gu Changsheng gave him.
Only after seeing the two people enter the lounge did Mr. Zhou lead his people away.
In the lounge, Qi Xiangfeng saw that Gu Changsheng still had no intention of sleeping. After hesitating for a while, he advised, "Brother Gu, you haven't recovered yet, so you'd better rest early. I'll keep an eye on Mo Lian."
"Don't worry, as long as Mo Lian has any problems, I will call you immediately."
Gu Changsheng, who was discussing the origin of the Black Gold Cone with Ling Feng, closed the chat box and the screen returned to Mo Lian who was sleeping soundly.
The girl's sleeping face is peaceful, her cherry lips are slightly raised, sweet and gentle.
A smile flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep for two hours, and when I wake up it'll be your turn."
"No need, Brother Gu, just get some more sleep. I'm still young and it's okay to stay up for a few days." Qi Xiangfeng realized that something was wrong with what he said, and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to make Brother Gu old."
"Brother Gu is only two years older than me. I mean, you have a heart disease and need rest more than I do."
From childhood to adulthood, this grandson of General Gu who was found halfway became an outlier among a group of young people after arriving in the capital.
He is also someone else's child.
At the age of 20, he has already been assigned to work at a recognized institution on Blue Star, becoming the youngest professor of psychology.
During the seven years in the Imperial Capital, he never relied on Grandpa Gu, but only on himself, and built the Bu Lao Nanshan Psychiatric Hospital, the largest in the entire Dragon Kingdom, in the northern city of the Imperial Capital.
After the advent of the Rule Ghost Story, many of the people who were rescued developed psychological problems.
He did not take the opportunity to make money. Apart from the daily living subsidies given by the state to patients, he did not ask for a penny more. It was Mr. Zhou who coerced and bribed him to give out the money, otherwise he planned to keep it all himself.
Seeing such a person, even Mr. Zhou would sigh and say that this is the prince of our Dijing.
In addition, no one dared to refute General Gu, who had made countless military achievements.
Over the years, Gu Changsheng's name would occasionally reach Qi Xiangfeng's ears.
But it was for the Dragon Country's powerful and gifted Chosen One, Gu Sui'an, that he ended the peaceful days in the Taoist temple. He passed all the tests and stood out from thousands of people to become the alternate prompter of the Weird Management Committee.
For this, his stubborn father praised him, "Not bad."
When he achieved his wish, he found out that Gu Sui'an was the famous Young Master Gu, Gu Changsheng, from the imperial capital!
This secret is only known to those in the strange management meeting, and they have signed a confidentiality agreement and will never be disclosed to others.
Even many high-level officials may not know this.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiangfeng moved his gaze away from the laptop screen for a moment and looked at the man who had fallen asleep on the single bed opposite him. He found that his brows were tightly furrowed and he was not sleeping soundly.Chapter 146: The Chosen One of Kimchi Country Died
Chapter 146: The Chosen One of Kimchi Country Died
Before daybreak, there was a knock on the doors of the eight chosen ones.
"Boom boom boom…"
The sound was getting louder and louder, with no sign of stopping.
At the strange management meeting of Longguo, all the resting personnel were present and stared at the live video screen.
In the copy.
"Master, someone is knocking on the door." The black cat rubbed Mo Lian's cheek.
Mo Lian frowned unhappily, sat up with his eyes closed, put on his slippers, walked to the door, and didn't open his eyes until he opened the door.
Behind the crack in the door was a chubby face. The boy, about six or seven years old, was very fat and chubby. He looked at her with his eyes half-closed, which were squeezed into two slits by his flesh. "Sister, can you play games with me?"
[Rule 7: Your younger brother is very naughty and will come to play games with you every morning. At this time, you must close the door to prevent your father from discovering you two]
Mo Lian looked down at the little boy for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, come in."
The little boy walked in happily, and Mo Lian locked the door.
"What game do you want to play?"
"How about we play rock-paper-scissors, and the winner gets to blow the loser's brains out?"
"That sounds a bit boring."
As soon as Mo Lian finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on the little boy's lips.
But she said, "I am the elder sister, and loving my younger brother is what I should do. I promise you."
The little boy smiled widely and sat cross-legged on the floor, "Sister, come here soon."
"Okay." Mo Lian sat opposite him.
The two of them put their hands behind their backs and played rock-paper-scissors.
In the first round, the little boy played scissors and Mo Lian played rock.
"My dear brother, you lose."
"Sister, please be gentle."
The little boy leaned his head closer and said, "Play it."
Mo Lian mercilessly flicked his finger at his forehead. The blow was so heavy that a red spot instantly appeared on his forehead.
"Sister, you bully me and I'm going to tell Dad." The little boy cried and wanted to run away.
Mo Lian pulled him back like a chicken, "If you dare to tell Dad, I will throw you out of the window right now."
Under the black-framed glasses, her peach blossom eyes smiled as if in the spring breeze, but her words scared the little boy so much that he didn't dare to cry or shout.
His feet were off the ground and very close to the window. If Mo Lian really did what he said, he would definitely fall to his death.
After all, his house is on the 26th floor!
"Sister, I won't tell Dad, please let me go."
"Then let's continue playing games." Mo Lian's lips curled up into a wicked smile. The little boy wanted to refuse, but when he saw her expression, he swallowed it back into his stomach, "Okay."
The little boy was thrown to the ground and Mo Lian continued to play games with him.
"Rock, paper, scissors, brother, you lose."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors, oh, brother, why are you so careless?"
"My poor brother, your forehead is swollen."
"Why can't I win at any game? I'm so lonely, sister."
"Brother, brother, I can't bear to do anything to you. What should I do?"
Mo Lian said this, but she didn't retract the force on her brother's head at all. Instead, she put all her strength into the attack, aiming to kill him.
My brother's entire forehead was swollen like a birthday bump, and it was red and blue.
"Sister, you are bullying me!" The younger brother really cried this time. Thinking of Mo Lian's methods, he didn't dare to cry out loud. He could only twitch and hold back his tears. "If you have the guts, just keep hitting me and smash my head."
His harsh and cowardly words made the audience in Longguo's live broadcast room laugh so hard that they couldn't breathe.
[It's so miserable. My brother is so miserable.]
[Hahaha… How funny. Between being angry and being a coward, my younger brother actually chooses to be a coward.]
[A wise saying: You should teach your younger brother a lesson early, otherwise, when he grows up, you won't be able to defeat him.]
[This condition is useless for Miss Mo Lian. I think all the men in Dragon Country may not have a chance of winning against Mo Lian alone.]
[I think that Marshal Gu can hold on for a while]
[In terms of brains, Young Master Gu can win, and in terms of physical strength, Miss Mo Lian has plenty of strength and means]
[It is said that last time, Young Master Gu was admitted to the emergency room. If he had been slapped by Miss Mo Lian, he would have to stay in bed for at least ten days to half a month.]
[Ahhhh! My weak and self-incapable Gu Shaoshuai can only be pampered]
"Hahahahahahaha…"
At the weird management meeting, Xuan Lingzi stroked his beard and smiled while watching Mo Lian train his brother and the barrage, "Xiao Gu, I think these netizens are right."
"Ever since you entered the emergency room, Mr. Zhou has been treating you like porcelain, fearing that you might get bumped or bruised."
As soon as Mr. Zhou entered the room, he heard Xuan Lingzi's words and joked, "Xiao Gu's is not a porcelain, it is at least a national treasure-level antique, and its value is inestimable!"
The leaders of the Weird Management Committee and the other three countries connected via video link all laughed out loud. Only Gu Changsheng kept his eyes on the screen and did not respond.
In the Longguo live broadcast, Mo Lian played along in an easy manner, making people mistakenly believe that today's task was a simple one.
The chosen ones from the Great Bear Country, the Pakistani Country and the Daihu Country also got through safely thanks to Mo Lian's advance demonstration and Gu Changsheng's proposal after he changed his countermeasures.
The Korean people also thought it was not difficult and did not take it seriously.
Kim Hee-hyun didn't hear the reminder and thought she was still safe, so she played rock-paper-scissors with her brother.
He won and gave his brother a pat.
When his younger brother won, he would also hit him, but his younger brother hit him a little too hard. He covered his head in pain and said, "Ah Xi, brother, can you be a little gentler?"
"Brother, it's okay." In the following time, the younger brother's strength was indeed much lighter.
The second time...
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...until the tenth time!
The smile on his brother's face became even more sinister, "Brother, if you lose ten times, the punishment will be increased!"
"What are you going to do?" It was too late when Kim Hee-hyun realized something was wrong. Before he could use his innate skills, his eyes were blinded by a chubby hand.
"ah--"
His screams startled the people outside the door.
The locked door was smashed "bang bang bang" and a man with a gloomy face crawled out from the hole.
The little boy turned to look at the person who came, "Dad, it was my brother who insisted on playing games with me."
"You don't study hard and dare to lead your brother astray. You deserve to die!" The man raised his fist and hit Kim Hee-hyun on the head.
"No, I don't want to die, help me, help me."
Kim Hee-hyun, who couldn't see anything, turned around and ran away, but was hit head-on by the man's fist. He flew backwards and smashed into the wall.
Blood flowed down the white wall. His hands and feet were bent strangely. They twitched violently a few times, then fell limply, never to move again.
[Kim Hee-hyun, the Chosen One of the Kimchi Kingdom, died in battle. A city was randomly selected and punished. Fertility rate -20%]
Because of the copy failure, the already declining birth rate has been further exacerbated.
At the Korean Ghost Talk Show, everyone looked unhappy.
"Seeing how easy Mo Lian was playing, I thought I only needed to appease this naughty kid, but I didn't expect that if I lost ten times, the Chosen One would actually die!"
"That sissy Kim Hee-hyun is really useless. He's not even as good as a woman."
"Damn it! Why isn't Mo Lian from our Kimchi Country? Why was she born in Dragon Country? We are the largest country in the universe. How can we be inferior to others?"Chapter 147: Convincing my brother and my fatherChapter 147: Convincing my brother and my fatherThe death of the Chosen One of the Korean Country was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, which made the hearts of people on the entire Blue Planet tighten.
Jin Xixian's performance in the previous copy was not very outstanding, but he had participated in several rule talks after all, and he should not have died so easily on the second day.
Today, out of the twenty-six nations, only seven Chosen Ones remain.
There are still eight days left until the customs clearance!
After a few seconds of silence, all the national leaders watched the video of the death of the Chosen One of Korea at the same time.
Dragon Country Weird Management Committee.
Gu Changsheng looked at the picture on the public screen and frowned.
Mr. Zhou looked solemn and asked, "Xiao Gu, what do you think?"
Mo Lian was still having a great time playing the game of beating his younger brother. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Changsheng's lips, which he didn't even notice.
He turned around and looked at the young man in Taoist robes not far away, "Why not let Xiao Qi speak first?"
"Since Professor Gu is interested in training him, let Xiao Qi talk about it." Old Zhou smiled.
After the two of them finished speaking, the eyes of the leaders of the four countries in the video all fell on Qi Xiangfeng.
He had been secretly practicing Taoism since he was young, and thought that his character was relatively calm.
But at this moment, I still feel my face a little hot.
Trying to calm down, he immediately turned on the Korean video to the last scene of Kim Hee-hyun playing the game.
"I think that playing games with my brother won't necessarily lead to death. The danger comes from my father outside the door."
"My brother just said that if you lose ten times, you will be punished."
"But I also watched the live broadcast of the Great Eagle Nation's Chosen One, Ed. He also lost ten times, but was not killed."
"I don't understand this either."
"Brother Gu, the Rules of Weird Talk will not discriminate against the Chosen Ones of any country, so Jin Xixian will die, and he must have done something wrong."
This is the problem that no one can figure out.
Gu Changsheng didn't keep the suspense and directly played the video in reverse, freezing at the moment when Jin Xixian covered his forehead with his hand and showed a painful expression.
"That's why."
"If he endures the pain, he may only suffer some physical pain."
"But he asked his brother to be gentle and trigger a hidden mission. This mission can only be won, not lost."
"Although I don't know what reward I will get from the hidden mission, the price of losing is my life."
"So that's how it is." Qi Xiangfeng suddenly realized and figured out the key point in an instant.
In the rule-based weird copy, facing the weirdness and NPCs, every word of the chosen one will determine the future life and death.
Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at a line of small words on the live broadcast screen.
[Number of Chosen Survivors: 7]
He gave orders one by one in a deep and rich voice, "Xiao Gu, Xiao Qi, make a temporary strategy based on the current progress of the rules and strange talks."
"The person in charge of the announcement will be prepared to release the draft of the customs clearance that we are a harmonious family later."
"As for the remaining countries, those who want to believe it can believe it, and those who don't want to believe it are up to them."
"There's only so much we can do."
He sighed softly, "I just hope that no more Chosen Ones will die in the future. The Blue Planet is already riddled with holes and cannot withstand any more disasters."
…
We are a harmonious family.
There was a knock on the door.
The younger brother who was beaten into a pig's head by Mo Lian opened his eyes wide as if he saw a savior.
Just as he was about to call for help, Mo Lian covered his mouth, lifted him up from the ground and placed him on the chair in front of the desk.
"If you dare to shout, I'll kill you immediately." Mo Lian stuffed a book into his hand, "Either read it or continue playing games."
"We're going to play wrestling this time."
"If I lose, how about getting punched?"
The younger brother shrank his neck, his eyes were horrified, "Sister, read books, I love reading the most."
He hurriedly pretended to obey his sister's orders.
"Very good." Mo Lian didn't care whether he was sincere or not. She walked to the door, opened it, and looked at the man outside.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Come and see what you are doing." The serious-looking man walked into the room, saw the little boy reading, and nodded with satisfaction, "You know how to study, that's good."
Unexpectedly, the little boy heard the man's voice and burst into tears.
He threw down the book, jumped off the chair, rushed over quickly, and hugged the man's thighs, "Dad, Dad, please take care of my sister. He beat me and my face is swollen."
His face was swollen like a pig's head and his speech was unclear.
The man's face darkened.
In an instant, the sky outside the window turned dark and a strange atmosphere filled the room.
The jade ring on Mo Lian's left hand lit up with a faint white light that enveloped her whole body.
The man was already showing signs of becoming strange, but she was not anxious at all. She said calmly, "I know that Dad loves his brother. I am his sister, so I will not be cruel to him for no reason."
"But he doesn't like studying and even wants me to play games with him."
"If I don't play, he will cry."
"Dad, he makes me so noisy that I can't read. I can only force him to study with me."
"But my brother really doesn't like reading. I had no choice but to do it to him. When dad came in just now, didn't he see him reading seriously?"
"I think a child like this is worthy of being my brother."
"Dad, I'm a top student."
[Rule 3: Your dad has a very bad temper and he likes good kids who love to study the most]
The father's expression became amiable in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and touched the little boy's chicken-cooped hair. "Sister is right. When you have nothing to do, read more books and don't always think about playing games."
"Your sister has always been the top student in her grade and is the most likely student to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University."
"Even the principal couldn't help but praise her for her good grades, being well-behaved and hardworking when he saw me."
"You have also started to study. You should learn well from your sister. Remember that sentence: as long as you don't die from studying, you should study until you die."
The little boy who complained was dumbfounded, "Dad, I don't want to study."
Dad's face darkened, but he didn't change his expression. "Mo Lian, take your brother to study and come out for dinner."
The little boy looked desperate.
Mo Lian looked at his pitiful appearance and raised the corners of his mouth, "Okay, Dad, I will make sure he studies hard. As long as he doesn't die from studying, he will study until he dies."
The little boy let go of his father's legs and was about to run away when Mo Lian grabbed him by the back of the collar.
"Dad, Dad, save me, my sister is a lunatic, she will beat me to death."
"Dad, don't go."
"dad!"
As he begged for help, the man shook his head and coaxed in a low voice: "Mo Lian is your biological sister, how could she hurt you?"
"Don't worry, she has been sensible since she was young, and she especially loves you as her brother, so she won't do anything harsh to you."
The father ignored the injuries on the little boy's face and the plea for help in his eyes, turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Mo Lian put the man back in front of the desk and smiled gloatingly, "Dad is wrong. I hate disobedient children the most. I will really beat you to death."
The girl has a pretty face, fair skin, clear eyes, and is as holy as an angel, innocent and pure, but there is a sly and unpredictable danger in her eyes.
The younger brother swallowed and said, "Sis, I'm giving you a gift. Can you be gentler when you hit me next time?"
