The pair of hands that were pressed against Gu Xizhou's body trembled slightly. It was clear that the owner of the hands was afraid.
Gradually, Gu Xizhou's eyes adjusted to the surroundings. He could see the silhouette of a person clearly in the dim lighting. The clothes of the owner of the hands were stained red with blood. Her body was trembling from fear, but her hands did not stop for a moment. They were pressed tightly against the wound on Gu Xizhou's waist to stop the bleeding.
Inside the dark room, Gu Xizhou's eyes had adjusted to the environment. He could see his surroundings clearly. Within his line of sight, he saw a similarly nervous and serious face.
The man was wearing a brown jacket. There were bruises on his head, the corner of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth. His appearance was ordinary. He was the kind that would be easily overlooked in a crowd.
However, the moment Gu Xizhou saw the man's face, he shouted out a name, "Brother Hong!"
The man called Ji Hong had a confused expression. He was unfamiliar with the name Gu Xizhou shouted out. At the same time, he mumbled to himself, "So, it's an NPC …"
Gu Xizhou heard the man's words and could not help but feel disappointed. He was sure that the person in front of him was not 'Ji Hong' even though he had Ji Hong's face.
The man obviously thought that Gu Xizhou was an NPC and tried to find clues to leave this place from Gu Xizhou. "Hey, do you know why we're here?"
Gu Xizhou glanced at the man and ignored his question. He turned to observe his surroundings.
That's right.
The surroundings were exactly the same as the place where he had woken up in 1999. Even the face of the girl who was pressing on his wound was the same.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" The girl lowered her head. Her back was pressed against the wall. She used her hands to press on Gu Xizhou's wound and mumbled.
Some of them had broken free from the chains due to their resentment after their deaths. Gu Xizhou's gaze involuntarily fell on the other six people.
Since Gu Xizhou did not answer the man's question, the man with Ji Hong's face was like a deflated balloon. He said dejectedly, "The female NPC is like a lunatic. She only knows how to apologize, but the male NPC doesn't speak at all. What kind of world is this? Damn, this is only the second world! Is there a need to be so deceptive? "
"Your second world?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Hey, you can talk?" The man's face was filled with disbelief. "Damn, so you're not an NPC but a mission enforcer like us?"
"Yes, my name is Gu Xizhou." Gu Xizhou glanced at the man and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Lai Shenglei. You've been unconscious for so long that I thought you were an NPC!" Lai Shenglei said, curling his lips.
Gu Xizhou asked, "What's the situation now?"
When Gu Xizhou woke up, he looked for traces of Si Yu and Fang Zhi among the group of people. However, it was obvious that the two of them were not here. Gu Xizhou remembered that two people had been kidnapped and locked up here with them two days after he woke up.
Lai Shenglei shrugged with a helpless expression. He explained the situation to Gu Xizhou, "I don't have any information. When I opened my eyes, I was here. Other than the seven of us, I didn't see anyone else. This woman only knows how to press on your wound and apologize. No matter how much we talk to her, she doesn't respond."
"We were all hoping that you would wake up, but it seems like you don't know anything either."
"I came here an hour or two earlier than you. Nothing much happened. I chatted with this woman for an hour, but she refused to leave us."
Lai Shenglei muttered, "But it's a supernatural world. No ghosts have appeared until now. Maybe it's not night yet."
At this moment, the wooden door outside was opened. A man carrying a bag of lunchboxes gently opened the door. He placed the lunchboxes at the door, turned around, and was about to leave. How could Lai Shenglei and the others let the 'NPC' leave? They quickly stepped forward and tried to block the door with their hands. The man used all his strength. The moment the door slammed down, it pressed down on Lai Shenglei's palm. Lai Shenglei cried out in pain.
"Bro, let me ask you something. Why did you lock us up here?"
The man who was asked raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
Lai Shenglei rubbed his swollen hand and asked bitterly, "I don't know, so I asked you. Why are you asking me instead?"
The man guarding the door joked, "You don't know? It's good that you don't know. "
After saying that, the man closed the door. The five people cursed unhappily, "F * ck, what's wrong with the NPCs in this mission world? They're all crazy!"
Gu Xizhou couldn't move because of the wounds on his body. He lay motionless on the ground. The girl was the same as in his memory. She kept repeating the same words, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
Originally, because the people outside refused to provide information, the few mission enforcers who were locked in the same room couldn't help but become irritated. One of them looked at the girl and scolded, "You're so annoying. Are you f * cking crazy? What else can you say other than sorry? "
Gu Xizhou raised one of his eyebrows. "What's the use of yelling at her if you don't have any information?"
That person said irritably, "Haha, let's see if you can still be as calm after listening to her nagging for an hour!"
Gu Xizhou's gaze fell on the girl.
Actually, Gu Xizhou's feelings towards this girl were very complicated.
If he hadn't been stabbed twice by this girl, he wouldn't have been captured so easily by this group of people. Therefore, when he woke up, his attitude towards the girl couldn't be said to be good. He was even a little annoyed by this girl who kept apologizing.
Gu Xizhou even remembered the first thing he said to this girl after he woke up — Can you stop talking?
At that time, his tone was definitely not good.
At first, he blamed this girl, but later he thought it through. At that time, this girl's grandmother, who was in her sixties, was kidnapped by this crazy person. When a seventeen-year-old girl saw her grandmother being kidnapped and threatened by the kidnappers, she was already at a loss. Naturally, she would do whatever the kidnappers said.
After experiencing so many worlds, Gu Xizhou felt that he could understand that a girl in a situation where she was isolated and helpless would lose her judgment and do such a thing.
For example, in the first world, when the girl was raped, no one was on her side. Her father even helped the rapists deal with the evidence for the sake of money and career. Her mother was too weak to help her.
In fact, what really made the girl despair was not the rape, but the feeling of helplessness after being betrayed by her family. This feeling was like a tide that directly drowned her into the deep sea. No matter how hard she swam, she couldn't swim back.
Gu Xizhou looked at the girl and patted the head of the girl who only knew how to say sorry. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Hey, what's your name?"
When the girl heard Gu Xizhou's question, her dull eyes finally had a touch of light. "My, my name is Tu Yao."
At the same time, two sentences of conversation came from outside the door.
"You guys are really bold. You even caught the police."
"Since we're going to kill them anyway, why don't we use them to make some money?"
When everyone heard this sentence, they were confused and looked at each other. After all, they still didn't understand what was going on here. However, they also noticed the keywords "police", "kill" and "make money".
"F * ck, what do these people do for a living?"
"Organ trafficking." Gu Xizhou took over the conversation and directly pointed it out.
After Lai Shenglei said "f * ck" twice, he looked at Gu Xizhou expectantly and said, "Hey, brother, what do you know?"
Gu Xizhou said in a muffled voice, "They did mention the police, which means that there are police officers among the seven of us. Also, the people outside used the word 'them', so there are at least two police officers among us.
"You can check your clothes. There should be something there."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's reminder, the five people immediately checked their identities. Lai Shenglei quickly found a police officer's ID in his trouser pocket.
"F * ck, it really is!" Lai Shenglei glanced at the name on it. "Ji Hong." He narrowed his eyes. He remembered that when Gu Xizhou woke up, he called him "Brother Hong"!
No matter how he looked at it, he looked like an NPC!
Lai Shenglei pondered in his heart and stared at Gu Xizhou. The others didn't have any police ID. Lai Shenglei looked at Gu Xizhou and asked, "Who is the other police officer?"
"Me." Gu Xizhou was lying on the ground. "Isn't it obvious? Only you and I are injured here. "
Lai Shenglei nodded and said, "That makes sense."
As Lai Shenglei answered, he was even more certain that Gu Xizhou was an NPC in this mission world. However, he didn't know why this NPC was pretending to be a mission enforcer like them.
F * ck, was he planning to trick them at the last moment? Luckily, he was quick-witted enough to realize that there was something wrong with this guy!
Lai Shenglei had already decided to keep an eye on this handsome 'NPC' in front of him. However, he didn't show any suspicion on his face. Instead, he continued to try to get information from Gu Xizhou.
He thought he was smart and asked Gu Xizhou, "Then what should we do now? It's dinner time now. Nighttime in the supernatural world isn't easy. There are so many of us here. Doesn't that mean we're all in the same room? According to the rules, we'll all die! "
"Yeah, we can't keep waiting. We can't wait until nighttime. We have to find a way to leave this room!"
"If we don't leave, we'll all be killed by the rules!"
"That's true," Gu Xizhou said. "However, the people in this room right now aren't all the people involved in this mission."
"No?" Lai Shenglei asked curiously.
Gu Xizhou nodded. "I teamed up with two other people to enter this place. They're not here."
Lai Shenglei was still doubtful of Gu Xizhou's information. However, he had a rough idea of what was going on. He turned around and discussed with the others how to leave this place. Gu Xizhou was really tired. His body wasn't feeling well. Waves of pain from his waist were transmitted to his nervous system.
There were no painkillers here. Gu Xizhou could only grit his teeth, close his eyes, and try his best to fall asleep. He remembered that two people would be sent here tomorrow and two days later. If he guessed correctly, those two people should be Si Yu and Fang Zhi. After all, they were in the same mission world. They couldn't be separated.
If he remembered correctly, this place was an abandoned old factory. There were very few people around here. Illegal surgeries were carried out here. It was impossible to ask for help from outsiders. He could only think of a way to leave this place before the first operation. That way, he should be able to fulfill the wish of the 'ghost'.
He was too tired now. He needed to conserve his energy. Everything could wait until Si Yu and Fang Zhi arrived.
