Gu Xizhou saw Si Yu nodding at him with an unnatural expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you pull me back just now?"
"Since I saw it, I couldn't possibly not save you, right?" Si Yu laughed at himself helplessly. "Because of the compensation for the deaths of the two fugitives, I was informed to go to the police station today. When I arrived, I saw the police car rushing towards the two of you."
Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "That Li He died because of you!"
"What's going on?" Fang Zhi interrupted their conversation with a confused look on his face.
Si Yu said as he walked, "It's getting late. Let's go to the top of the mountain first. It's not safe to be on the mountain at night. Since you know him, you can explain it to him."
"Okay." Gu Xizhou nodded and called Fang Zhi. Not only was Fang Zhi confused, but he was also confused.
Fang Zhi looked at Gu Xizhou and Si Yu. Seeing their calm expressions, he was confused.
"Fang Zhi, do you see a string of red numbers in your line of sight?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Fang Zhi said, "Yes, there is a string of numbers. There are a lot of zeros …"
Gu Xizhou said, "This string of numbers represents the countdown to your life. If you die in this world, you will also die in the real world."
Fang Zhi was speechless.
Gu Xizhou said, "Also, you might see some unexplainable things in this place."
Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What things?"
Gu Xizhou said, "Supernatural phenomena."
Fang Zhi looked at Gu Xizhou with a 'you're kidding me' expression. "I, I don't believe in this! I have a police badge to protect me! Gu Ge, we're the police! We have to believe in science! "
Si Yu glared at him with a hint of disdain. "Then you better not believe in science. That way, you won't be so scared when you die."
Gu Xizhou: "Do you know how to speak properly? You scared our Xiao Fang! However, I don't believe it. It's true that I'll die faster. "
Fang Zhi: "…" Gu Ge, you don't know how to talk!
A gust of wind blew. It was a summer wind, but Fang Zhi felt a chill on his back.
Gu Xizhou saw that Fang Zhi was a little nervous, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've already experienced a world before. Those things are not that scary. Just follow me."
Fang Zhi nodded. After listening to Gu Xizhou's explanation of the rules of the mission world, he was stunned. He was a true materialist from head to toe! I don't believe in these things!
After a simple conversation, Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi had already reached the top of the mountain. They could already see the outline of the villa. Gu Xizhou reminded him, "Call me Gu Ran here. Call him Si Yao Xing."
Fang Zhi was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the name. He recalled the last time they caught a criminal. After the glass window fell to the ground, Si Yu called Brother Gu this way. "Last time, Brother Gu, you …"
Gu Xizhou interrupted him and confirmed his thoughts. "Yes, the last time I chased after a murderer, it was the countdown to my death. That was also the first time I entered a mission world."
Fang Zhi: "…"
He recalled the scene of the glass falling to the ground and the tragic state of the two people. He swallowed his saliva and believed most of it.
Before they reached the villa, Gu Xizhou unhappily asked Si Yu, who was silent beside him, "Oh yes, I still have more than 40 hours to live. Why did I suddenly come here? This world is too unethical. "
Si Yu: "…" Why are you so aggrieved?
"It's because of him." After listening to Gu Xizhou scolding for a long time, Si Yu couldn't take it anymore and pointed at Fang Zhi. Fang Zhi, who was called out, was dumbfounded. "His life was in the countdown. You were holding his hand … and I was holding your hand, so the mission world mistook us for a team and threw us in together."
Gu Xizhou heard this and his eyes fell on Si Yu. "Then what happened last time …?"
Si Yu: "…"
Gu Xizhou saw that he was speechless and even wanted to roll his eyes. He patted his shoulder and said, "That's too tragic, brother! Don't worry, I'll bring you out! "
Si Yu: "It's okay. Please stay away from me in the future. Nothing good will come out of meeting you."
Gu Xizhou: "…"
The mountaintop villa had two huge iron gates with yellow sunflowers planted at the entrance. Before Gu Xizhou and the other two reached the top, there were already nine people standing at the entrance of the villa. When they saw Gu Xizhou and the other two, they simply introduced themselves. The nine people at the entrance formed small groups, but the largest group had five people and was led by a bearded man called Brother Lei.
Soon, Gu Xizhou and the other two's gazes fell on the entrance of the villa. There was a person sitting at the entrance, and in front of that person was a huge drawing board, which happened to block that person's face and body.
"Why are you all standing at the entrance? Aren't you going to go in?" Gu Xizhou frowned and asked the few people who had arrived first.
Brother Lei rolled his eyes and said, "There's such a huge lock on the door. Are you blind?"
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other. Si Yu's gaze fell on the door. At that moment, he heard the person beside him shout at the person opposite him.
"Hey, you inside, can you help open the door?"
Brother Lei jumped in fright and quickly grabbed Gu Xizhou and asked, "What are you doing!"
Gu Xizhou: "Ask him to open the door for us! Isn't he the only one here? "
Brother Lei lowered his voice. "We don't know if he's a human or a ghost!"
However, that person didn't seem to hear Gu Xizhou's shout and still didn't open the door. The sky was getting darker and darker. In the mission world, if they couldn't even find a place to sleep, it would be really dangerous!
Just as Brother Lei was getting anxious, the three tall and strong men he had sent out to find the way returned and shouted in surprise, "Brother Lei, there's a dog hole on the wall on the left! You can crawl in! "
Brother Lei looked at the gradually darkening sky and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He immediately led his men over and even kindly invited Gu Xizhou and the other two.
"Dog hole? … No, I don't want to crawl through the dog hole. This is my last bit of stubbornness! "Gu Xizhou hugged the door tightly to show his determination.
Brother Lei: "…"
Si Yu: "…"
Fang Zhi raised his hand weakly. "I don't want to crawl through the dog hole either …"
"Hmph, you're about to die. Why would you care about crawling through the dog hole?"
"Hehe, I'll wait and see if they crawl through the dog hole when it gets dark!"
The other eight men said sarcastically and left one after another. Fang Zhi glanced at their departing figures. "Gu Ge, what do we do now?"
Gu Xizhou shrugged and looked at Si Yu, who hadn't left. "Why don't you go with them?"
Si Yu: "Me? Have you ever seen a handsome guy crawl through a dog hole like me? A real man can't be cowed by force! "
Gu Xizhou: "Heh, pretty boy."
No matter how much they shouted, the people inside ignored them. Gu Xizhou and Si Yu had a rare moment of doubt. Was this bullshit mission world full of malice? Did it have to force these poor, helpless and weak people to crawl through a dog hole to survive?
Just as Gu Xizhou was doubting his life, Fang Zhi said weakly, "Gu Ge, do you think he … can't hear us?"
"Maybe!" Gu Xizhou picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground and threw it hard. It hit the bucket that the person used to wash paint. The person sitting in the yard looked at the door and saw Gu Xizhou and the others. Her eyes were filled with smiles and her voice was as pleasant as a lark's. "You're finally here!"
The girl was wearing a white dress and a short skirt. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and her eyes were round and big. She put down the paintbrush in her hand and ran over to open the door for them. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hey, where are the others? Why are there only three of you? "
Gu Xizhou whispered, "They went to crawl through the dog hole."
Gu Xizhou thought that the girl couldn't hear him, but she laughed unexpectedly. "Why didn't they call me? Seriously!"
Gu Xizhou frowned and muttered to himself, "She's not deaf!"
The girl seemed to have heard Gu Xizhou's words. She glared at him unhappily and said in a lark-like voice, "I'm deaf, but I'm amazing now. I can read your lips. Don't think that I don't know that you were talking bad about me!"
Gu Xizhou was speechless.
After talking with her, Gu Xizhou and the other two had more or less figured out that the girl's name was Lin Meng. Because of her father, her whole family had left the country to live abroad when she was very young. This time, her family returned to the old villa where they used to live to visit their relatives. They invited the girl's classmates and friends who used to be close to her to have a small gathering at their home.
"You learned how to draw?" Si Yu asked as he pointed at the drawing on the drawing board.
Lin Meng nodded and looked at the three expectantly, as if waiting for a compliment. "I learned it when I was bored abroad. Is it nice?"
"It's nice." Gu Xizhou's words came from the bottom of his heart. There were six people in the drawing. The girl stood in the middle, holding a baby. Her parents stood on both sides, and behind them were two old people with slightly gray hair. The six of them stood in a field of yellow sunflowers. The girl and the baby in her arms had fair skin, while the other four had darker skin.
Gu Xizhou looked at the beautiful girl in front of him again. She was like a girl who smiled sweetly next door. He couldn't think of any supernatural phenomenon that could happen in a place like this.
The three of them followed Lin Meng into the villa. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Take a seat. I'll get you something to eat. The mountain is so high. You must be tired after coming up!"
After speaking, the girl walked to the double-door refrigerator in the living room. She took out some water and snacks and handed them to Gu Xizhou and the others. "Drink some water. Quench your thirst."
Finally, Lin Meng handed a bottle of water to Fang Zhi. Because she moved a little too much, her white skirt lifted a little. Fang Zhi, who was closest to her, instinctively closed his eyes. Lin Meng also noticed it and shouted, "Close your eyes!"
When Fang Zhi put down his hands, his face was a little red. He explained, "I, I didn't see anything! Don't worry! "
Hearing this, Lin Meng's eyes curved into little moons. She smiled and said, "Are you serious?"
Fang Zhi said with a straight face, "I swear!"
"Okay, I believe you!" The girl smiled. Then, she heard Fang Zhi say seriously —
"Don't wear such a short skirt in the future … It's easy to expose yourself."
Hearing Fang Zhi's words, Lin Meng was slightly stunned. She nodded and said, "Okay."
Si Yu: "…"
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Gu Xizhou and the other two reminded Lin Meng. She jogged all the way to open the door for the guests outside. Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other.
When Lin Meng came in, she brought Brother Lei and the other people who crawled in through the dog hole. They looked a little disheveled and were covered in mud. It had rained on the mountain before, so everyone's clothes were covered in mud. When they entered the villa and saw Gu Xizhou and the other two sitting on the sofa, Brother Lei was stunned.
"How did you get in?"
Gu Xizhou pointed at Lin Meng, who had just walked in behind them, and said, "Miss opened the door for us!"
Brother Lei said, "But she clearly ignored you just now!"
"Miss's ears are bad. She couldn't hear anything, so we threw a stone." As he spoke, Gu Xizhou winked and made a stone throwing gesture in the air.
The people who crawled in through the dog hole looked at him silently. Then, they silently turned to look at Brother Lei, who had led them through the dog hole. "…"
Brother Lei: "…"
