Money Desire City 35
Shen Jinyan and Shen Shenxing had a lot of props on them, and Gu Ci gave them some of the things he had picked up yesterday. Originally, she was thinking about whether she should wait for the game until the last day.
But then I thought, I had put up such a big sign in the middle of the road. Even if she hadn't gone through yesterday's live broadcast, she would have been found soon. Rather than facing unknown dangers and troubles, she would rather solve the problem right now and spend the rest of her time in comfort.
According to the current situation, no one knows the specific method to pass the customs. The system initially said that one had to survive until the last day, but according to Shen Jinyan's previous observations, the City of Money and Desire was moving.
This is very important information. And this game will not shift for no reason.
What is the reason that allows it to do this secretly and undetected?
The answer should be to experience a large-scale escape on the last day, find the right direction or position, and then you can pass the level.
Gu Ci glanced at the Li Wen Lolita girl who kept shrinking into the corner. When the TV screen was flashing just now, Shen Jinyan sent the hidden props in his hand to them through a skill called mind transfer.
For some reason, when the monster passed by Gu Ci, he could feel it hesitated for a moment and then immediately rushed between the four people.
It would never admit it because when it was hesitating to take revenge on this person, it saw the naughty boy picking up a big knife and preparing to sharpen it to attack the pigs and sheep.
Emma, I can't bear with you.
"You did it on purpose!"
At this critical moment of life and death, naturally someone would notice these few people who acted as if nothing had happened. They also reacted quickly and realized that it was not just their good luck, but it was clearly a trap set for them by others.
Gu Ci leaned back on the sofa leisurely with his eyes closed without saying a word.
Someone reacted quickly and tried to open the door, but for some reason, the door seemed to be welded shut and couldn't be opened at all.
The wailing sounds soon began. The sound of bone and flesh being crunched was all too obvious, masked by the sound of heavy objects being dragged.
When everything around him returned to calm, Gu Ci opened his eyes and took out the badge he had received as a gift when he bought something. In fact, she already has several of these badges, but apart from providing advanced hotel services, she hasn't found any major use for them yet.
but...
Gu Ci recalled the look on the hotel's face when she checked in and it said their security was very good, and she couldn't help but smile. She seemed to be able to see the hotel manager's face becoming even more distorted.
Sure enough, when Gu Ci called the hotel front desk to tell them that he wanted to complain, he could vaguely hear the voice of the person on the other end who was devastated but trying to remain calm, and he felt a lot better.
Oh, why is she such a bad person?
Actually, I am a very good person. real!
Several people who inherited the bandits' inheritance almost cried, especially Shen Jinyan and Shen Shenxing, whose eyes glowed as if they were hungry wolves seeing meat and bones.
Li Wen didn't dare to open his eyes. It was only when Shen Shenxing went to call him that he found out that he had fainted from fright. Later, when Li Wen woke up and found that he had slept for a long time, and suddenly he got rich unexpectedly, the expression on his face was extremely confused.
Compared to Li Wen, the girl's condition was much more serious. She was very resistant to the presence of other people, and even approaching her became extremely difficult. The girl's eyes were empty, filled with a sense of lost despair.
The only time she wasn't too resistant was towards Gu Ci, who was also a girl. Gu Ci wasn't good at comforting people, so he sat with her for a long time and said he wanted to be alone for a while.
Gu Ci did not refuse the girl's request. He just looked at her twice more, said something to her, and then went to pack his things. She was not worried that the girl would be depressed, because when she left and waited for a while, she heard the girl's suppressed crying.
Crying is just venting your emotions. The most terrifying thing is to have no emotions at all. .
Things in room 6666 were messed up before, so we need to tidy them up and move to another room.
Thanks to Gu Ci's frequent complaints, the hotel staff not only compensated Gu Ci, but also had to change Gu Ci's room for free.
"Dear guest, it is like this. Our rooms are limited. If these people do not check in at our hotel front desk, they cannot stay with you. And you can bring at most one person to stay with you."
Another hotel waiter talked to Gu Ci. It was obvious that the hotel had heard of her and she was afraid of being complained and having her salary deducted, so she kept smiling.
But when his eyes fell on the other people, they were not so friendly. He looked at these people from a distance and seemed to be thinking about their worth.
Gu Ci nodded and looked at the waiter seriously, "Who told you that they are going to live with me?"
The waiter blinked, not understanding why he suddenly distanced himself from the matter. These people had been getting along very well in the previous room.
"They came to play with me"
Gu Ci took the newly-issued room card, waved his hand, and left gracefully. The other people hurried to follow, only Shen Xing said in a coquettish voice, "It's just a few people, how can it not be fun?"Money Desire City 36
Money Desire City 36
The waiter was left with a frown and a puzzled look on his face, brainstorming in his mind.
No, what did he mean? Did I think the wrong way?
Haha, rich people really spend money on entertainment.
In the past two days, apart from the monsters that appeared earlier and earlier and kept circling around, there was nothing wrong with the new room.
Gu Ci looked at the monsters outside the window that looked like a pile of human figures, and could only ask them to rest more to conserve their strength and energy.
There were many more monsters here than she had imagined. If the last day was really a great escape, these monsters would indeed be difficult to deal with. Even if I were a naughty kid, I couldn't avoid so many monsters.
Gu Ci thought about it and glanced at the bubble. Whenever he had free time, he would fold each one of them solemnly and reverently and then put them into the star jar.
The big jar is already more than half full. At this rate, he should be able to fold all the stars and put them into the jar in the next two days.
Gu Ci sat on the bed and rubbed his legs, wondering if this weak Baff was too strong. It was okay that he felt weak all over, but he just couldn't lift his legs.
"Sister, have tea"
The Lolita girl, Yuanyuan, thoughtfully brought the teacup over to Gu Ci. Seeing Gu Ci's movements, she couldn't help but worry, "Sister, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Gu Ci shook his head to indicate that he was not thirsty. "It might be this Baff problem, it's nothing serious."
Yuanyuan couldn't bear to look at the big, bright words above Gu Ci's head. This thing was hanging above his head like a title in a game, and it was hard to ignore at a glance.
Very socially dead.
But it will be over soon.
Everyone knew that the final moment was about to arrive, and although they all looked relaxed on the surface, they were actually very nervous. No one knows if this is the calm before the storm.
Day 12 of the game, safe.
Game day thirteen, safe.
Fourteen days into the game, the system issued an announcement in the early hours of the morning: "Players, please find the main gate you arrived at. The game ends when you pass through the gate. The time limit for completing the game is twenty-four hours. If you fail to escape successfully within twenty-four hours, you will be strangled by evil spirits or monsters. I wish all players a happy game! ]
The system seems to like to get close to the opponent and use the maximum power.
Gu Ci slowly opened his eyes. The others had already been ready as they were too nervous to sleep.
These monsters were particularly restless tonight. Not only were they circling outside their rooms in large numbers and knocking on the door, they also liked to walk back and forth in the same place, occasionally tearing off the arm of one of their own kind and chewing it as food. The sound of them chewing it would keep anyone awake.
Since the system has already issued a notice, this hotel probably won't be able to last much longer. So all they have to do now is run quickly.
Shen Jinyan carefully used props to explore the surrounding situation, but there were too many monsters around, and they surrounded the place and it was difficult to break through. What was originally used as a shelter has now become an iron barrel, which is really a headache.
Gu Ci saw him busy but always felt like he had forgotten something.
However, after searching for a lot, Gu Ci didn't know what she was looking for. She just felt like she had forgotten something very important.
There was even more restlessness outside the door. The door, which was not strong to begin with, became even more precarious under the force from outside, as if it would be pushed open at the next second.
Seeing that Gu Ci seemed to be looking for something, Shen Shenxing pointed to the oil-paper umbrella placed at the entrance.
"Are you looking for this, sis?"
Gu Ci stared at the oil-paper umbrella in a daze. His mind went blank for a moment before his thoughts slowly came back to him and he began to feel a sense of fear.
How could she... forget to take Buqing again?
Gu Ci quickly stepped forward and took Bu Qing and held him in his arms, but there was no time to think so much now. Shen Jinyan had been using tools to carve a big hole in the floor to lead to the room downstairs. I don't know how his small backpack could have so many tools.
The naughty boy pulled a straw from his body and stuffed it into Gu Ci's hand. "This straw has my scent on it. Although it is not enough to be used as a deterrent, it also has the ability to weaken perception. There are too many monsters here. I can't always be by your side and protect you."
He looked up at Gu Ci. There was no expression on his straw face, but she could see a hint of sadness. He tried to raise his body and pull Gu Ci's hand down. A cold object was placed in his hand.
Gu Ci looked down and saw that it was the star jar he had been folding. Gu Ci looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he spent so much time folding a star for her.
The naughty boy rarely twisted his body
"Well... I want to find my sister, but I can't go out. But you are different! You can go out to many, many places. Every star in this has my breath in it, and it can convey my message to my sister to find me!"
The naughty boy tilted his head back, his voice filled with sadness and sorrow, "I miss her so much, if possible, please put this down wherever you go!"
Gu Ci took the heavy star, and the voice of Shen Shenxing came from the side, "Why don't you look for me? I can do it too."
Next to him, Shen Shenxing squatted on the ground and looked at the naughty boy very seriously, patting his chest and saying, "I have also cleared several dungeons. I am also a player who has won six consecutive victories in this B-level dungeon!"
Level B? Not a newbie?
Gu Ci's mind moved slightly and she suppressed this doubt in her heart. She also looked at the naughty boy curiously, wanting to know why he was looking for her. After all, I'm just a newbieMoney Desire City 37
Money Desire City 37
"you?"
The naughty boy's voice was inexplicably a little disdainful.
"Forget it! Giving it to you will be like a drop in the ocean. Giving it to her at least she still has some luck. Maybe she will hit the jackpot by accident. After all, this luck is innate. It's incredible to get this at the beginning. Maybe there will be a surprise if she thinks about it."
Shen Shenxing glanced at the big words above Gu Ci's head and swallowed back the words he was about to refute. He had no way to refute this, mainly because he couldn't find the words to say.
Gu Ci: ...
Thanks, I am offended.
Gu Ci put away the Star Jar and put it in his backpack. Just then, Shen Jinyan had already scratched a big hole in the floor with a tool and said, "Let's go."
Shen Jinyan jumped down first, and when he saw there were no monsters below, he said, "Come down."
After hearing this, several other people jumped down, and Shen Jinyan responded from below.
Gu Ci saw Shen Jinyan standing on the table below and stretched out his hand to catch the naughty boy who was about to jump. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hold me."
Gu Ci held his hand. The naughty boy's hands were dry and skinny and felt like bones. Even the size of his hands was as small as a chicken claw, pitifully small.
Gu Ci glanced at the naughty boy who was seriously directing Shen Jinyan to add a chair, and obediently took his little hand and stepped down on the high chair.
Baff's weakness was indeed not exaggerated. She was 60 to 80 percent weak, causing her to lose strength all of a sudden, and her legs became weak uncontrollably.
I don't know if the naughty boy is made of real straw. He looks as big as a rag doll, but he is very strong. His small body supports Gu Ci, who is several times taller than him, and he seems to be very capable.
"Let's leave quickly while these things don't react. The dolls I put on top can disguise us temporarily, but it will be troublesome if the monsters come in and find out they've been tricked, so we have to hurry."
Shen Jinyan responded from below while asking Shen Shenxing to observe the surrounding situation to avoid any accidents.
When he caught Gu Ci, he realized that her hands were as cold as pork that had been frozen in the refrigerator for two years. Without having time to think about it, he and the naughty boy hurriedly helped Gu Ci walk.
Shen Shenxing in front led the way, carefully opened the door and used props skillfully. It can be seen that this is a pair of twins with very good understanding, and they have always done well.
"Shh!"
Shen Shenxing suddenly stopped. He carefully used the tools at a turn ahead and shook his head after taking a look. He raised his fingers to let them ambush and pause different gestures. He changed direction himself, and after confirming that there was no danger, he waved and made a gesture of walking.
Fortunately, the monsters in the hotel are concentrated upstairs, and there are no monsters anywhere else except the one at the corner just now. They reached the elevator without any problems.
This time there was no malfunction of the elevator and it went directly to the first floor.
They did not dare to stop and headed straight for the gate they came from. Based on Shen Jinyan's observations and inferences over the past few days, he also roughly knew where the gate was after the position changed.
After all, I have never been out, so it is hard to say whether my judgment is accurate or not. However, when they passed the lobby, the hotel staff, who were staring at the road with green eyes, immediately turned their attention to them.
"Where are the guests going?"
The hotel manager wiped his saliva while staring at the group of people with greedy eyes and smiled, "Do you want to check out?"
The last day, alienated?
Sure enough, there are not many normal copies.
Shen Shenxing went to the front half, blocked a few people behind him, and threw the prepared room card from a distance, "Sorry for the trouble."
The hotel manager looked at the room card that fell to the ground just one step away from him and nodded, gradually regaining his composure. He nodded, "Okay, guest." Just when Shen Shenxing thought it would be safe to pass through here, the hotel stepped forward, stepped on the room card, and crushed it hard.
On purpose! You can't afford it!
Shen Shenxing lowered his body slightly and prepared for battle.
"Oops, sorry sir, I may have to reissue it."
The hotel manager pretended to be surprised and slowly raised his head. Although he was still smiling, one could sense obvious malice. His eyes were fixed on Gu Ci. The flesh on his face was constantly falling off and rotting. The unpleasant smell was spreading, making people feel nauseous. "Guest, are you dissatisfied?"
Oh no, things got out of hand.
Gu Ci looked at the hotel staff in front of him who were eyeing him eagerly, and also sensitively heard the sound of the door panel breaking and something rushing in.
There's no time.
Almost at the same time, the naughty boy let go of Gu Ci's hand and took out a big knife, and several people ran forward desperately.
What a joke, it's much better to not have a life than to have no life at all.
"Mr. Naughty Boy, your employment period should have expired." The hotel manager looked at Naughty Boy with fear. He was not joking about facing the patrol team. He was just a hotel manager and did not want to die again, so he wanted to blow up Naughty Boy.
Normally speaking, the patrol team should not be hired for more than ten days. They also didn't know whether Gu Ci was hired every other day or for ten days at a time.
You know, the last time we caught the naughty boy and took him to the hotel, we had to pay a huge sum of money, and with Gu Ci's several reports, we really lost everything.
The naughty boy raised his head and said, "What do you care? The contract I signed is to protect her and let her leave safely. If I break the contract, you will pay me the penalty? The rules are dead, and you are also dead. Why don't you understand this principle?Money Desire City 38
Money Desire City 38
Of course not.
The hotel manager touched his nose and returned to the counter, staring at the naughty boy with a fake smile, "In that case, please help me check if there are any suspicious people in our hotel."
The naughty boy stretched out his hand and said "yes" to the hotel manager without hesitation.
?
What's the meaning?
The hotel manager looked at the naughty boy in confusion, trying to read any expression on that expressionless face.
"What about the hiring fee? They paid you so much and you want to get it for free? Just pay it." The naughty boy hooked his outstretched hand, the meaning was very clear.
He is very expensive, and you have to pay him by the day.
Seeing the hotel manager looking up and down but not at himself, the naughty boy knew that the hotel was already extremely poor and naturally could not give him any extra money.
Take up his time! If you ignore these people, you will lose points. If you pay attention to them, you will waste their time.
The naughty boy withdrew his hand and went to look for Gu Ci.
He also has to send the financial sponsor back safely.
Here, Gu Ci was being pulled by Shen Jinyan to run passively. The cold wind blowing into his nose and mouth made Gu Ci feel extremely uncomfortable. He only let go of his hand that was tightly holding Gu Ci's arm and gasped for breath when he really couldn't run anymore.
Although he let go, Shen Jinyan still held Gu Ci's arm considerately to prevent her from losing strength and falling.
Gu Ci felt cold wind rushing into his chest. Besides the pain in his chest, he also felt a little dizzy. Seeing Shen Jinyan resting one hand on his knee to relieve the pain and supporting himself with the other hand, Gu Ci felt a little bit sorry for him.
She shook her head and told Shen Jinyan to take care of herself. Shen Jinyan also obediently withdrew his hand, except that it was not the time to show off.
Shen Shenxing didn't seem to be in any serious trouble. He held a small flashlight in one hand and the map he drew last night in the other, carefully comparing the buildings around him that were shrouded in the night. He nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if we follow this method, we can indeed get out."
Yuanyuan and Li Wen are not people who exercise regularly, so being able to run for such a long time in one breath is indeed beyond their limits. But Yuanyuan and Li Wen looked particularly uncomfortable. They held their chests and looked like they couldn't breathe. Now the four of them wished they could just sit on the ground and have a good rest.
But this idea is just a thought. Are they really stupid enough to actually sit down?
Before Gu Ci and the others had a chance to rest, they heard the sound of something crawling quickly behind them, which made the unknown fear even more evident in the darkness.
There was no doubt that the group of monsters had caught up with them. Their speed was much faster than theirs, and they could not escape even if they ran so hard.
Here they volunteer. Running is always tiring, but those monsters only focus on their target and are tireless.
It would be great if this potential could be seized by capitalists.
Several people quickly stood up and supported each other and ran forward. Now they just want to go faster and faster and reach the gate quickly under the cover of night.
The monsters behind him attacked like a tide, making people's scalps numb and their hearts pounding.
"You guys go ahead."
Seeing these people gasping for breath, Gu Ci patted Shen Jinyan's hand and shook his head at him, "If this goes on, no one can hold on to the end."
Shen Jinyan glanced at her disapprovingly, then casually pulled out a super-powerful flashlight from his pocket, let go of his hand, turned around and shone it behind him.
The movements of those monsters that were densely packed together immediately slowed down, as if someone was watching TV at a very slow speed; each of their movements became slow and stiff under the reflection of the lights.
"Sometimes don't think too much, just rely on your brain."
After Shen Jinyan placed the extremely bright flashlight with a very long illumination distance on the ground and adjusted its position, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Gu Ci. He bent a finger and pointed at his head, the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Ci blinked, put down Bu Qing's hand and put it away. .
This... The novice mission should be simpler, but she thought it was too complicated.
Shen Jinyan asked everyone to rest where they were. After everyone had rested, he picked up the flashlight and asked Shen Shenxing to pull Gu Ci up again, while he walked backwards.
Looking at those monsters who were always showing off their might, he couldn't help but smile. He raised his arm and touched the arm of Shen Shenxing next to him.
"Light bulb, do you think it's funny? If we hadn't discovered that they would become like this when encountering light in the dark, we would be finished today. Fortunately, we remembered that we have such a strong flashlight, otherwise with our flashlight at a distance of two and a half meters, we would not be able to leave today."
Shen Shenxing didn't say anything, he just squatted in front of Gu Ci and let her lie on his back.
Gu Ci was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to step back. She didn't know why, but she always felt that if she got too close, something bad would happen. She always had an inexplicable fear of getting too close to others.
She didn't know where this emotion came from.
Shen Shenxing waited for a while but didn't feel the person behind him approaching. He thought the person was afraid to be with someone he didn't know well, so he turned around and smiled at Gu Ci, "Don't be afraid, sister. My back is very stable and I'm very strong."
Yuanyuan and Li Wen looked at the bright baff on Gu Ci's head and nodded in understanding. This kind of thing directly weakens the body's status, and there is no way to make up for it with props.Money Desire City 39
Money Desire City 39
Gu Ci watched as Chen Shenxing lay on him as if possessed by a ghost. When she came to her senses, she found that she had been carried steadily by Chen Shenxing for a distance.
Gu Ci felt a little annoyed. He felt as if he was possessed by a ghost just now. He was so confused that he had no idea what he was doing.
But...
Gu Ci was a little confused again.
It seemed like she had never felt this way before.
Before Gu Ci could express his emotion too much, Li Wen and Yuan Yuan beside him could no longer walk and squatted on the ground trembling.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jinyan immediately placed the flashlight on the ground and fixed it in place and went to check on the two of them, but after a thorough inspection, he found nothing. He even used his own medical tools and found nothing.
The two of them tightly grasped their necks and opened their mouths helplessly, wanting to say something, but their throats seemed blocked and they could only utter vague syllables. The hot air they exhaled condensed in the air and quickly dissipated, just like life that was easily dissipated.
"Did we do something wrong? Why are they the only two that are like this?"
Shen Shenxing gently put Gu Ci down and squatted beside the two of them, looking at Shen Jinyan for help.
Shen Jinyan frantically reviewed every detail of their meeting in his mind, not wanting to miss any. But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find anything wrong.
So where did the problem occur?
Gu Ci looked at the two struggling people, then looked at Shen Jinyan and Shen Shenxing, and suddenly an idea came to him, "Where are their cards?"
This sentence woke Shen Jinyan up. He suddenly remembered that he had to pay corresponding rent if he didn't stay in this place for a period of time. They had been staying in Gu Ci's room in the hotel before, so they gradually forgot this rule.
Shen Shenxing quickly took out his card and found that the numbers on it were jumping at a very fast speed. If it weren't for the several doubling cards that Gu Ci gave them before, they might have faced such a dilemma.
But Shen Jinyan searched both of them and couldn't find their own cards.
Shen Jinyan shook his head at Gu Ci and said, "Maybe those people snatched their cards away from them before."
Gu Ci quickly handed over his card to try, but no matter whether I gave up their chests or something, their conditions did not improve.
It seems that it is impossible to use other people's cards. Everyone entering this copy has only one card, which is a symbol of identity!
As they saw the two men's faces start to change and they began to roll their eyes, they suddenly let go of their hands and took a few deep breaths.
?
What is going on here?
The Shen brothers looked at Gu Ci in confusion, not understanding what was going on. Shen Shenxing looked at the two people who had survived the disaster and hesitated for a moment, "Could it be that we just let them hold it?"
Gu Ci shook his head.
Since each card has its own corresponding identity symbol, the suffocation symptoms they just experienced may be because the funds in their cards were cleared. But if they suddenly get better, it means someone must have topped up a fund in their cards.
And no one present had ever seen their cards again. Those people had been dragged away by the monster in the TV when they were in the hotel. There is only one person who can find these cards...
Gu Ci looked at the road paved by the strong flashlight. At the other end of the road, countless monsters were squeezing each other, struggling, and crawling towards them at an extremely slow speed. But in the middle, the monsters were struggling to squeeze to both sides to clear a path.
The naughty boy slowly appeared. He looked at Gu Ci waving excitedly, with two blood-stained cards in his hand.
"You forgot your stuff. Luckily I remembered it when I was leaving the hotel and went back to look for it. Sure enough, the numbers on it were all cleared. I topped it up for them, enough to get them to the gate."
The naughty boy put the card on the two people who were sitting there in shock, and after they had a rest, he followed Gu Ci and sent them out.
They knew that the Naughty Boys were not normal humans, and like the hotel staff, the monsters would not attack them. But I didn't expect that the naughty boy would come out directly from those monsters, which is amazing.
Maybe it's because I know that this separation may mean we will never see each other again. After saying that, the naughty boy didn't speak again until they reached the gate.
It was still the same golden gate, with the big words on it almost bleeding.
It is still early for dawn, and at this moment the night still reigns.
Yuanyuan and Li Wen said goodbye and left the game first. The second after they left, the system announcement appeared.
[Some players have successfully found the exit. The remaining players please hurry up. There will be a ten-minute countdown to the exit of the City of Money and Desire]
There is a language called speechless.
Shen Jinyan and Shen Shenxing looked at each other in bewilderment. If they separated and didn't find a way out, they would definitely be devastated when they heard the news.
Shen Jinyan could see that the naughty boy still had something to say to Gu Ci, so he asked Shen Shenxing to put Gu Ci down.
He looked at Gu Ci and smiled at her, "I hope to meet you in the next dungeon. Maybe we can form a team in the future."
Having said that, Shen Jinyan went out without Shen Shenxing knowing why. Although Shen Shenxing didn't know why Gu Ci was still here, he obediently followed Shen Jinyan through the door, still saying goodbye to Gu Ci with his hands, and muttered, "Sister, see you next time."
Gu Ci nodded and looked at the man in front of him who was not as tall as his waist. He squatted down and looked at him. "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Money Desire City 40
Money Desire City 40
The naughty boy was silent for a while and then shook his head. Grandma's voice was filled with endless vicissitudes. "I just want to see my sister if you can see her..."
The naughty boy raised his head and grabbed Gu Ci's sleeve. "I have a strong intuition. You will definitely help me find my sister. My sister will come to find me soon. I have never felt this feeling in anyone else."
His straw-covered head was exposed to her sight, and his sad voice floated in the air, "Please... please."
Gu Ci nodded, agreeing to the request.
Seeing Gu Ci agreed to the naughty boy, he let go of his hand and stood up obediently and waved to her, "Bye~"
Gu Ci looked back at the City of Money and Desire hidden in the night, then turned around and walked through the gate without any reluctance.
The gentle white light was as gentle as the rising sun in the morning but not dazzling. Gu Ci watched his body being surrounded by the white light for a moment, and then he appeared in a small pure white space.
As soon as I entered the system, the sound jumped out
[Welcome special player Gu Ci to complete the novice game: Money Desire City Simple Edition. All funds for this round of games have been returned. Congratulations to player Gu Ci for getting the rating: s]
[Dear special player, in view of your outstanding performance in this round of the game, you will be given a novice gift package and three lottery tickets. Dear special player, would you like to draw now? ]
The playful electronic sound carried a hint of human emotion, but the meaning behind his words made Gu Ci unable to help but wonder, "Simple version? So there is a difficult version?"
[Well, because the level of the current copy itself is not low, it does not meet the requirements for regular beginners to get started in the game. Therefore, the system has made some simple processing to this copy to make it easier for novice players to pass. Generally speaking, the first copy for novice players is to make them more familiar with the game mechanics. Therefore, in the future, after playing several games, players are likely to encounter the first game of the upgraded version, allowing players to review the game. At that time, the new copy rules and mechanisms will be changed. Other permissions of this system will be unlocked after the player passes the first official copy. ]
Gu Ci nodded and thought for a while, "Don't smoke for now, save it first."
[Okay, distinguished special player, would you like to take a break or continue to the next game? If the player chooses to take a break, the system will place you in any corner of the real world and you can choose any time period to play the game. But it cannot exceed five days at the latest. If you choose to continue to the next game, the system will match you with a suitable copy to play the game.]
Gu Ci looked at the two choices on the floating screen and hesitated. She seemed to have just escaped from a place called a mental hospital. If I go out like this...
Gu Ci's eyes jumped back and forth between these two options with some uncertainty.
The system seemed to know her concerns and spoke at the right time.
[Dear special players, don't worry, your existence is legal and reasonable. According to your specialness, the system will automatically prepare everything you need for life in the first place]
After hearing this, Gu Ci felt relieved and clicked the rest button. With another burst of white light, Gu Ci quickly returned to the place where he first entered the game.
It was an uninhabited warehouse filled with discarded items. The thick dust makes people unwilling to stop. As long as someone walks up, it will stir up a cloud of dust and leave an obvious footprint.
Gu Ci's appearance was unreasonable and abrupt, like an angel who accidentally fell into the situation. She looked around carefully and made sure it was the place she had found before before she lay down and relaxed.
She looked up at the abandoned spider webs swaying in the wind on the ceiling of the warehouse and slowly sat up. Her legs were still numb, and she checked her legs herself, finding no fractures or external injuries. Why can't you stand up? Maybe it's really because of the psychological problem that the doctor mentioned.
The later the time went on in the game, the weaker her legs felt. This is not the kind of weakness caused by the weakness buff, it's like I can't control my legs and can't feel anything.
Gu Ci dragged the wheelchair next to him and pulled it towards him with great effort. Unfortunately, the wheelchair was too heavy and there was no good point to support it, so Gu Ci had no way to pull it.
Gu Ci rested for a long while before she reached out and picked up Bu Qing who had always been with her. She looked carefully at Bu Qing's beautiful lines and held him in her arms.
How could she forget Buqing, it is also a part of her life. No matter how faded the memory becomes, it is impossible for the bond between them to disappear.
After waiting for a long time, Gu Ci didn't find anything special. Just when Gu Ci wanted to go out, the door of the warehouse was slowly opened. The rusty and heavy door made a harsh and unpleasant sound.
A man in a suit and white gloves stood at the door and looked at Gu Ci with a smile, "Dear master, welcome here. I am your butler number one. I will serve you in all aspects of your life in these five days."
After the No. 1 butler finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon someone brought a brand new silver-white but more compact and exquisite wheelchair to the door.
Number One took off his gloves slowly. Then he held the handle of the wheelchair tightly and walked towards Gu Ci. Looking at Gu Ci, who was sitting on the sofa, delicate and incomplete like a doll, there was no strange emotion in his eyes.
His eyes fell on Gu Ci's legs with a hint of doubt, but then he looked away without letting Gu Ci notice. Seeing Gu Ci's embarrassed look, he was silent for a moment, then squatted in front of Gu Ci, raised his face and said with a smile, "Please forgive my offense."
As he said this, he gently picked up Gu Ci and placed him on the wheelchair, and considerately covered him with a blanketReal World 1
Real World 1
Gu Ci sat steadily in the wheelchair and watched him carry out each step in an orderly manner as if it was a set program.
She picked up the Buqing that had just been placed beside her and let him push her to the warehouse. She obediently let him take her outside. "So, you only have five days to prepare everything for my life?"
Gu Ci lazily raised his eyes and looked at the gate that was getting closer and closer to him, and put his hand on Buqing's umbrella to prevent it from rolling down during the bumps.
Gu Ci doesn't think that she has any relationship with anyone in this world. The only one who can find her location in time is the system.
I just don't know why the system came so late and so strangely.
Gu Ci glanced at the person behind him calmly and thought secretly in his heart.
"Yes, you are really smart. But I will be the only one who will exist for five days. For you who don't know the world, I need to be a qualified guide to explain everything that happens around you, such as... the survival game."
Number One didn't have any special emotions after hearing this. He smiled and stopped the wheelchair. He squatted in front of Gu Ci with a smile on his face, staring into her eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Or, you can think of me as the system's clone."
After saying that, Number One placed his face affectionately on Gu Ci's knees, his smiling eyes fixed on Gu Ci with inexplicable tenderness, just like a homeless person who had found a safe haven.
"You know, it took me a lot of effort and time to find you. I will solve all your problems, so please don't reject my approach, okay?"
He spoke the last two words very softly, with a kind of speechless helplessness, pity and bewitchment.
Gu Ci also smiled and looked at him for a while, wanting to know what this so-called system clone wanted to do. Gu Ci pulled out his hand and patted his face. "What do you want to do? I always feel that you are a little different from the system I have seen."
Number One squatted on the ground, touching his face and was stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted, smiled at Gu Ci, then stood up and walked behind Gu Ci, holding the wheelchair handles tightly and trying his best to hide his excitement.
He tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him. In Gu Ci's sight, No. 1 showed a gentle, nostalgic and yearning smile.
"That's true. I am different from the system itself..."
How can such a cheap thing stay with you?
And I am here for you.
My respected...Mother Goddess!
Only I found you the first time!
He silently said the words that were left unexpressed, but his breathing became slightly disordered when his eyes fell on Gu Ci's legs covered by the blanket.
Number One took Gu Ci out of the warehouse door and saw a beautiful car parked outside. Number One carried Gu Ci into the chair and put the wheelchair in place, then sat next to Gu Ci and asked the driver to drive.
The scenery outside flashed by at an extremely fast speed, but it could not change the lifeless city under the gray sky.
Gu Ci took a lot of effort to escape from the mental hospital, but due to his restricted movements, he didn't run too far and could only hide first. So she didn't know what was different about this strange world.
Number One looked at her and smiled, "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I am very honored to answer your questions."
Gu Ci did not answer. She reached out and carefully placed her hand on the glass, carefully feeling the changes of this new object. Gu Ci looked at everything around her and still felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, No. 1 took the initiative to explain to Gu Ci this world that was not popularized by the system and nurses.
"This world is as dramatic as a huge playground. An unknown black fog spreads across the world, turning everyone in the world into a chessboard.
The fear brought by the black fog forced people into a survival game. At the beginning, people were just trying to figure out why the black fog was so strange. They sent out the best and most elite teams to explore it, but naturally found nothing in the early stages. However, as the black fog continued to spread, they gradually discovered that some strange creatures were constantly breeding in the black fog and gradually devouring the remaining human territory.
It only took a few months for the black fog to engulf the entire world. Although the black fog was not fatal, it made people extremely uncomfortable. People were surprised to find that only those who had passed the game could come and go freely in the black fog without being affected. The few props they brought with them could even deal with the weirdness in the Do Not Disturb zone. "
Seeing that Gu Ci was listening seriously, Number One took out a map from the place where items were placed in front of him and spread it out on his legs. The map was not a regular color map but was displayed in different shades of black and gray.
Number One pointed at the gray in the middle with his slender finger and looked at Gu Ci with a smile, "Look, this is the area where we are, which is a lightly infected area. The lighter the color, the less infected it is. On the contrary, the darker the color, the more infected it is, and the more weird it is."
This map looks like a failed product that has been splashed with ink. The center is gray, and the larger the area, the darker the color. Most of the map is basically black.
So, what is the purpose of games? What is the purpose of the system?
Gu Ci looked up at Number One and wanted to see something from his face, but the man was smiling the whole time, making it difficult to find anything usefulReal World II
Real World II
As if he knew what Gu Ci was thinking, he smiled and explained:
"In nature, people believe in mutual growth and mutual restraint. There must be an antidote within five steps of any poison. The black fog brought strangeness with it. It made the land uncultivable and the water undrinkable. While threatening humans, it also continued to damage the human body. Games were born accordingly. They help people obtain props, allowing them to use points to get what they want, wealth, props, or a better body or even... resurrection.
Of course, different things have different points. The system is just a system responsible for maintaining order, just a program. "
As he spoke, Number One crossed his fingers and crossed his legs naturally and gracefully. He looked at Gu Ci happily, and anyone could tell that he was in a good mood.
"I am truly honored to answer your questions, and thank you for your trust in me."
Gu Ci raised his eyelids, looked at him, and then lazily lowered them.
This number one is really amazing!
Seeing that Gu Ci didn't pay much attention to him, No. 1 felt a little restrained. He suddenly realized something, put down his legs uneasily, sat obediently, and looked at Gu Ci hesitantly, "Did I not explain it clearly and make you confused?"
Why does this system seem to want to curry favor with her?
Gu Ci couldn't think of any more questions for a moment, but No. 1 suddenly realized something. He pointed at the map and continued
"Although everyone has to go through the game, all the dungeons are related to the real world. Strange things exist not only in reality, but also in dungeons. Some strange things will not attack people, but this is a minority. There are a few strange things marked with numbers. It doesn't matter as long as you don't provoke them. Even if it walks in front of you, you don't have to pay attention. When the time comes, I will give you a record of strange things. You can take a look at it.
There are also players who successfully survive and gain points, props or skills through the game. The surviving players have a certain safe zone to avoid the black fog approaching. This is why this central place has not been polluted. Too many players gather here and it becomes a forbidden land for a short time. However, no one knows what the scene will be like when the black fog completely covers the place. But it doesn't matter, at least it won't be too fast.
The mechanism here is just like when we play games, there will usually be a settlement interface and a lobby. Generally, games also have multiple modes of play, such as team competitions, individual competitions or challenge competitions.
And this hall that integrates all functions is right here! "
Number One clicked on the center of the map
"There, you can check out the guild teams and other things inside, and you can also enter the game in advance. After passing the official game, you can also get a prop card bound to your identity to check your various rankings."
He still had a smile on his face, but the words "Praise me now" were clearly written on his face.
Gu Ci nodded and said politely, "Well done," but Number One actually covered her face with her hands and became shy.
Not literally covering her face, but really covering her face with her hands out of shyness, with a smile almost spilling out from between her fingers.
Even more amazing.
Gu Ci moved his position in an attempt to look more normal.
Although Number One is a bit weird, his efficiency is impeccable. He not only helped Gu Ci find a place suitable for wheelchair travel, but also thoughtfully prepared everything, even the strange map he promised.
"Please read page 5 carefully~"
Number One smiled at Gu Ci and the next second his facial features almost turned awry and his hands and feet became uncoordinated as if they had malfunctioned. He slowly walked out while Gu Ci looked slightly puzzled. He couldn't control his hands from flailing around as he walked out, and he managed to close the door.
Number One walked out of the door and walked a long way to make sure that Gu Ci couldn't hear him before he relaxed and let the electric current sweep through his body.
"Fault...Fault...Unknown intrusion detected...System...Fault"
Number One stood in place, twitching and twisting his body. Intermittent electronic sounds came out of his expressionless mouth, coupled with confusing sentences, making the scene seem weird.
What was even more terrifying was that he actually controlled his hands and slapped himself hard. A voice of unknown gender rang out from this body, "Don't scare the Mother Goddess, be quiet."
Although it was a gentle voice, it was full of threat.
"Fault... Being invaded... Failed to clear... Failed..."
Sure enough, after being slapped, No. 1 fell silent. It was a long time before he put on a smile again and tidied up the dust and wrinkles on his body. "You want to ruin the time I spend with the Mother Goddess? Dream on!"
When Gu Ci saw No. 1, he felt it was even more amazing. Are all products from the system like this?
Gu Ci shook his head and opened the booklet. It was filled with information similar to an introduction and dark pictures, making it impossible to see what was inside.
The strange things recorded above are recorded based on the time of discovery, and no one knows exactly when they appeared. Gu Ci looked at the first page and didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
No.: 001
Danger level: SS (no obvious attack awareness outside the territory, with a strong sense of territory)
Abilities: Unknown
property:? ? ?
Weakness: Unknown
Appearance location: Land creatures in dungeons (not sure if they exist in reality yet)
Players have encountered this creature while escaping in a dungeon. It doesn't like others invading its territory, and its method of attack is unknown.
When Gu Ci looked at the picture, it was also extremely blurry. He couldn't see clearly in the darkness. The only brightly colored landmark was also blurry and he couldn't see what it was.
At once...
It's hard to evaluateReal World 3
Real World 3
Gu Ci turned another page. Most of the information recorded on it was unknown. In other words, the strange creatures in this booklet rarely appear in front of people. People only know how dangerous these strange creatures are but are not sure of their specific locations.
Gu Ci took a rough look and found that most of the recorded data were in the actual polluted area. Special personnel should have been sent to conduct data testing, but those with data were only S-level or A-level, and the double S or even triple S were basically unknown.
But these are the minority.
Gu Ci remembered the fifth page that No. 1 mentioned, and she didn't know why he was keeping it a secret, so she obediently opened the fifth page.
This page is indeed different from the others. It records this strange information almost completely, but the most different thing is that this information should have been written by humans later, and photos were also pasted with tape.
Gu Ci looked at the misaligned tape that stuck to the crooked photo, and there was a cute little crown thoughtfully drawn on the crooked end.
No.: 004 → It is a beautiful little flower~
Danger level: (smudged and crossed out) Not dangerous, you are the good baby of the Mother Goddess~
Ability: (crossed out) likes to bloom beautiful flowers and dedicate them to the Mother Goddess
property:? ? ? It is an ordinary plant that just wants to bloom and be with the Mother Goddess.
Weakness: (crossed out) No weakness, protect the Mother Goddess, be the bravest little flower and drive away the bad guys.
Appearance location: (smudged and crossed out) I don't know where → I miss the Mother Goddess so much, the Mother Goddess must find me first~
Gu Ci looked at the level of danger and fell silent.
What I mean is, if you want to apply it, can you apply it evenly so that it can't be seen? The three S's and the extremely toxic one were not fully applied, she could see it clearly.
In the tiny space below the danger level, he also added a personality column. Although it was erased by myself at the end, you can still see that it means respectful, gentle, well-behaved, and cute.
To be honest, I'm quite narcissistic.
But...Mother Goddess?
who is she?
Gu Ci saw this word appearing many times in the book, and he could feel from the words how much respect and attachment the writer had for the so-called Mother Goddess.
Is it number one? What is his relationship with the so-called weirdness? Why did he give me this booklet? Why was only number four scribbled over in this strange record? Was he trying to tell her something?
Gu Ci looked at the photo taped on, which showed an enlarged yellow flower. This flower seemed strangely familiar, but Gu Ci couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Gu Ci folded the booklet and put it aside. No. 1 found her a small villa very close to the game hall. According to No. 1, since she has a lot of points, she should be nicer to herself.
When No. 1 came back, he saw Gu Ci sitting on the sofa, staring at the door in a trance. Looking at the book that had obviously been flipped through, he lowered his head and touched his ear with an embarrassed smile, "Have you finished reading it?"
Gu Ci nodded and said nothing. But No. 1 really wanted to know how she felt after reading it, but he was afraid that Gu Ci would be disgusted, so he had to suppress his mouth that wanted to ask.
Seeing that Gu Ci really didn't react, Number One lowered his head in disappointment and looked a little listless.
What should I do if the Mother Goddess doesn't remember him?
Number One raised his eyes and wanted to secretly observe Gu Ci's reaction but he didn't expect that Gu Ci was still looking at him. Afraid of exposing himself too much, No. 1 stood up and offered to take Gu Ci out for a walk.
Gu Ci didn't understand what this number one was trying to do, so he just went with the flow to see what he meant. But I didn't expect that No. 1 has been normal since then.
He answered whatever Gu Ci asked, and even arranged Gu Ci's life in a clear and flawless manner.
But Number One was worried. He looked at Gu Ci sitting in a wheelchair with an expressionless face like the finest porcelain. He could only stand a few meters away and wait for Gu Ci to remember him.
Before, he could only sense that the Mother Goddess was coming. He finally hacked into the system and came to the Mother Goddess for a short time, but the Mother Goddess seemed to not remember him at all. It seems that since she came out of the game, the Mother Goddess's amnesia is getting worse day by day.
I asked him several times yesterday who he was and he explained it several times. Today I feel better and can remember it, but the Mother Goddess will enter the game again soon, and I don't know if this amnesia will get better.
He also didn't know which copy the Mother Goddess had entered, so it was difficult to provide her with close protection.
When Number One was thinking about whether to find a brain doctor to check Gu Ci, Gu Ci suddenly turned around and pushed his wheelchair, "Number One, I want to enter the game!"
Number One, who didn't react, subconsciously asked why. When he reacted, he immediately put his hands in his pockets and smiled at Gu Ci, "I mean, you won't enter the game until tomorrow, why would you want to enter in advance?"
Fortunately, Gu Ci didn't pay attention to this subtle change. She looked at No. 1 confused for a moment and said, "I have to help others find his sister."
But when No. 1 asked who he was looking for, Gu Ci shook his head and said he didn't know. He only knew that he couldn't go back on his promise to others.
Number One had no choice but to take her to the game hall and let her match the copy by herself. People in the hall looked at the girl in the wheelchair with different thoughts.
「Matching copy」
There are several extremely tall and beautiful doors in the game hall, with different words on top of them. Gu Ci came to one of the doors and lightly tapped the suspended electronic screen, which immediately scrolled countless pictures.
"Newbie!"
Someone sneered
The scrolling of the electronic screen gradually slowed down, but to other people, it just looked like a series of black pictures scrolling.
This is also the protection mechanism of the game. The non-public competition system will not let people know what copy the player has entered. After all, copy props are all kinds of strange, and who knows whether some trailing props will be produced to achieve cross-copy pursuit.
The door slowly opened, and it was still pitch black inside, making it impossible to see what was inside. Gu Ci glanced at Number One who was smiling beside him, nodded at him, and then rolled his wheelchair in.
Entering the light curtain that blocked her vision, there was a bus parked there waiting for herShh! I'm behind you
Shh! I'm behind you
It was raining heavily outside the window. The gathered rain water flowed down the car windows, blurring the vision inside the car and isolating the outside world from exploration.
A shabby bus was driving over from a distant place, and its rolling wheels rolled over the puddles on the muddy road, splashing muddy water.
Sitting under the eaves, the old man with his eyes covered by a black cloth leaned on a cane and patted the mud on his trouser legs without caring, showing an indistinct smile with his toothless mouth, and his wrinkled face was full of joy:
"Another person who doesn't believe in evil is coming~"
The old man's broken words were of course not clearly audible in the noisy rainy day, and he had no intention of paying any more attention to the car. She leaned on her crutches and staggered back into her dilapidated house.
The people sitting in the car couldn't see clearly what was happening outside. They could only see water flowing outside the car windows and lamented that the rain outside was too heavy.
However, everyone was thankful that although the bus looked shabby, it was waterproof. Not a drop of rain came in through the gaps during the long journey.
The spreading chill made Gu Ci shiver. She pulled the blanket on her knees and adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.
She tilted her head to look at the rain flowing outside the window, and heard the whispers of the passengers in the car, but unsurprisingly, they were all about daily life themes.
[In the magnificent church, there are eyes secretly watching everyone under the ringing of the prayer bells. The nuns pray day and night. The nuns sing praises to the holy Lord and pray for salvation. Who is crying helplessly in the silent night? ]
[Dear special players, welcome to the survival game. The copy of this survival game is: Shh, I'm behind you]
[The rules of the game are as follows: Please find out the truth about the church and find the person who has been in the dark. Find the key, open the door and escape
This game is a role-playing game. Don't let others find out that you don't belong here, otherwise there may be uncontrollable factors.
Number of players in this round: Six
Monday in this round of the game is a prayer day. The other NPCs are residents of the town who go to church to pray every Monday. Identity cards will be issued later. Players are requested to read them carefully and dispose of them at their own discretion, and be careful not to let others discover their identities. Please find more clues about the identity by yourself.
You only have one life, so please be careful and play the game with all your heart. I wish you a happy game in this round! ]
[Dear special player, due to your special nature, your physical condition will not change when you enter the game this round. I wish you good luck]
As soon as the system voice fell, a small card appeared in Gu Ci's palm. Gu Ci lowered his eyes and glanced at the others. They were still enthusiastically discussing going to the church. There seemed to be no players among them, but rather only small town NPCs.
But how is that possible!
Gu Ci was sitting at the front near the door and couldn't see the back, but she didn't dare to confirm whether these people were observing her under the guise of conversation.
Thinking of this, Gu Ci turned his face to the side and looked at the rain outside the window. The car drove for a long time and after experiencing countless bumps, it finally arrived at the destination. The only bad thing is that the car seems to have broken down.
The rain had also lightened by this time, with only a light drizzle drifting in when the car stopped. With a crackling sound, the car struggled twice and then stopped completely.
"The bus is broken down, get off and walk to the bus stop!"
The driver's loud voice reached everyone's ears. After parking the car, he pulled the handbrake and got out of the car without an umbrella.
The passengers on the bus stood up and got off. Although Gu Ci, who was sitting at the front row, did not block these people, he still subconsciously shrank inside for fear of disturbing them.
"Why don't you get out of the car?"
The passenger walking in the front frowned in confusion as he looked at Gu Ci who was standing still. He even took a half step back to let Gu Ci get off first.
Seeing that Gu Ci didn't move, he raised his voice a little and his expression became more ferocious. "Why don't you get out of the car? Are you afraid of something?"
The passenger's words made everyone else's eyes fall on Gu Ci. They seemed curious as to why Gu Ci didn't get off the bus.
The face of the passenger in front was almost distorted, which made the others' eyes full of excitement. Fortunately, the driver knocked on the door loudly to attract their attention.
"What are you doing, bullying a little girl?"
Seeing the passengers who were still not getting off and even the passengers gathered in the carriage, the driver snorted unhappily. He opened the old-fashioned wheelchair in his other hand and put it on the ground. "In that case, you guys should wait until the little girl gets off before getting off!"
Gu Ci looked at the unshaven uncle standing in front of him, lowered his head and timidly said "sorry for the trouble", then reached out and put his arms around the driver's neck, asking him to carry him out of the car and put him on the wheelchair.
The driver also smiled generously. Looking at the people in the car, he cursed them and turned to Gu Ci and smiled again, "You're welcome."
Gu Ci looked up at the driver in front of him and quickly lowered his head.
The driver gently placed Gu Ci on the wheelchair, pinched his fingers to tidy up the blanket for Gu Ci, asked her to wait, and then went to the trunk to take out a wooden suitcase.
The fine drizzle falling on his hair looked like broken pearls, making Gu Ci look extremely pitiful and helpless.
"Thanks"
Gu Ci took the suitcase and opened it. In addition to a set of black and white clothes and some daily necessities, there was also a beautiful oil-paper umbrella.
Gu Ci raised his eyebrows in surprise. Didn't she put Bu Qing in her backpackShh! I'm behind you 2
Shh! I'm behind you 2
Gu Ci opened the umbrella, tilted his head, clamped the umbrella handle with his neck, and controlled the wheelchair with both hands towards a road without much mud.
That look makes people feel sad.
The passengers in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. The passenger at the front did not expect Gu Ci to be in this situation. He stood in the car awkwardly until the people behind him urged him to get off.
He walked up to Gu Ci and stared at Gu Ci's legs for two seconds before shifting his gaze to Gu Ci's face. He saw that his eyes were wide open with astonishment on his face. This expression only appeared for a moment, so fast that it seemed like a person having an illusion.
He lowered his head and looked at Gu Ci a little embarrassedly. "I was the one who offended you just now. Why don't I push you? It just so happens that I didn't bring an umbrella. It will be the same if we fight together."
As he said this, he wanted to step forward and hold the handle of Gu Ci's wheelchair but was stopped by the driver. The driver stood in front of the man like a mountain and said, "I didn't see you being so kind just now."
Gu Ci took the opportunity to grab the driver's clothes and glanced at the ID card at a very fast speed, but to her surprise, there was nothing else on it except a church staff member.
Gu Ci stuffed the ID card into her sleeve with one hand. Fortunately, the ID card was very small and easy to hide, otherwise she wouldn't know where to put it.
From other people's perspectives, they could only see a powerless little girl huddled in fear and being protected by someone behind her. The scene looked very depressing.
The man knew he was in the wrong, so he just snorted twice and ignored it. He quickly found someone to hide under an umbrella and headed towards the final destination - the church.
Fortunately, the car passed the most difficult mud road, and the remaining section of the road was cement road, which had no problems except for some wet spots.
Seeing that the person had left tactfully, the driver was worried that it would be inconvenient for Gu Ci to hold an umbrella and a wheelchair by herself, so he simply sent her to the destination. Anyway, his car broke down and he had to wait for someone to fix it, so he had to go to the church to avoid the rain during this time.
The driver pushed the wheelchair and left. Gu Ci looked up at the driver, whose body was wet with water droplets, and tried hard to raise the umbrella high, wanting to share the umbrella with him. The driver smiled and pushed the umbrella down.
"Your umbrella is only suitable for you. I'm in good health and it's okay for me to get a little wet, but you're so delicate that you don't want to get sick."
The driver looked at Gu Ci's umbrella suspiciously, then looked up at the rainy sky. It wasn't that cold, so why did his hand feel like it was touching ice just now?
The driver hesitated for a moment and put his hand on the umbrella again and touched it gently, but this time it felt more normal, even warm and delicate.
The driver looked at Gu Ci with some caution.
After walking a short distance, Gu Ci saw a woman holding a transparent umbrella at a turn. She stood in the gray rain curtain, the entire church and the sky behind her became her background color, and her black and white nun's uniform became the most eye-catching existence.
The nun's uniform with a collision of black and white is like the most proud elf, and the cross necklace on the chest adds a sense of sacredness. She stood at the intersection holding an umbrella, her cold eyes seemed to be looking down at ants, which made her look even more indifferent.
There was already a group of people waiting beside her, and next to her was a car emitting black smoke, which also seemed to be broken down.
Seeing that the last people had finally arrived, she curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, and her eyes swept over each person with the same disgust.
When her eyes fell on Gu Ci, she was stunned for a moment and then looked at the group of people with disgust. "Why, do you still want to bring a weak girl who can't walk on the prayer day? Is there no one left in this town?"
The nun walked gracefully behind Gu Ci and handed her umbrella to the driver. The driver took the umbrella at a loss and let go of the wheelchair in time to let the nun, who looked like she was not easy to deal with, take the wheelchair.
The nun looked at the driver and snorted at the others, "If your heart is not sincere, you cannot wash away your sins, and God will not let you go to heaven!"
The nun took the lead and pushed Gu Ci to lead the way. "Let's go. The Lord won't let you freeze to death outside."
Gu Ci remained silent. She could clearly feel the nun's disgust towards these people, but for some reason she had to bring them into the church.
Maybe that day of prayer?
Gu Ci observed the church carefully. He didn't know if it had been through a war or something, but a part of the wall outside the church collapsed, and the whole church was covered with traces of fire, as if it had been burned.
Entering the church worship area, the nun gently took the oil-paper umbrella from Gu Ci's hand and folded it. She frowned at those people who kept patting the water droplets off their bodies as soon as they came in.
She pointed to the corner where they entered and said, "Put the umbrella there."
Seeing that everyone was quite obedient, she relaxed a little. She folded her hands and looked at everyone elegantly, "My name is Ann, welcome to the Silent Church. Please take a rest first, and the prayer will begin later."
Sister An said as she pushed Gu Ci in another direction. The heavy sound of the wheelchair made Gu Ci dare not move rashly.
Why did so many people take her away?
Gu Ci looked at the road ahead where he could just barely see the light. The sound of Sister An's clothes rubbing against each other and her necklace colliding as she walked behind him made the road seem even more inexplicably terrifying.
But Sister Ann didn't seem to mean any harm to her
