Gu Xizhou slept soundly. The other five didn't believe him, so after dinner, they kept knocking on the door in an attempt to leave. However, the person outside ignored them. At night, the five of them huddled together in fear.
"It's six o 'clock." Lai Shenglei glanced at the line on his phone and let out a long sigh. The stopwatch ticked. The first night had passed, and everyone in the room was fine.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Gu Xizhou. This meant that the NPC hadn't lied to them. There were indeed people who weren't here. Otherwise, the night wouldn't have been so peaceful.
Being locked up by a criminal gang that sold organs, there was naturally no breakfast. Lai Shenglei had been feeling uneasy during dinner last night, so he didn't eat much. In addition, he hadn't slept all night, so he was feeling a little hungry now.
Just as he was grumbling in his heart, the tightly shut door was suddenly opened by someone outside. A young man was directly pushed in. The five of them simultaneously noticed the shiny black tip of a gun that was pressed against the man's forehead.
After the young man was pushed in, the guard outside immediately closed the door. After the man was pushed in, he naturally sized up the seven people in the room, including Gu Xizhou. The moment he saw Gu Xizhou, he quickened his pace.
"How did you end up like this? How did you get injured? "
Because this voice sounded unfamiliar, Gu Xizhou, who was lying on the ground, instinctively opened his eyes to see the person's appearance. He wasn't unfamiliar. From what he remembered, it was the university student who was locked up in the second day. However, the soul in this body now wasn't that person's soul.
"Si Yaoxing."
Gu Xizhou used an affirmative tone, as if the other party had recognized him at a glance.
"It's me." Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou and nodded. Then he turned to look at Tu Yao, who had been pressing Gu Xizhou's wound, and said, "Thank you, but you can let go now."
Tu Yao lowered her head and didn't look at Si Yu. She didn't let go of Gu Xizhou's hand on his waist. There were deep dark circles under her eyes. Gu Xizhou raised one of his brows and asked, "Tu Yao, didn't you sleep last night?"
Tu Yao didn't speak. She continued to lower her head, so her expression couldn't be seen. However, Gu Xizhou looked at her tired face and the expressions of the other five people and instantly understood.
Tu Yao didn't sleep last night. She had been pressing his wound. Gu Xizhou's expression instantly changed. He removed her hand from his waist and said in a gentle voice, "My wound's no longer bleeding. You don't have to press. You're the one … have a good rest."
Tu Yao bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth and remained in her original position. She grabbed the corner of Gu Xizhou's shirt and shook her head to show that she didn't agree.
Gu Xizhou didn't know what to do with Tu Yao. Twenty years ago, this girl had also pressed on his wound stubbornly. No matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and used her strength to sit up. His waist was instantly torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
Si Yu helped Gu Xizhou and glanced at Tu Yao. Their eyes met in mid-air.
Si Yu said in a muffled voice, "Hey, let go. I'll be fine."
Tu Yao shook her head and didn't say anything. Her hands were still tightly gripping Gu Xizhou's shirt.
Seeing this, Si Yu frowned in displeasure. Clearly, he was very unhappy in his heart. He only used a sharp gaze to glare at Tu Yao. Tu Yao trembled nervously.
The interaction between the two naturally didn't escape Gu Xizhou's eyes. He thought it was a little funny. Was she jealous?
Just as he was thinking, his body suddenly froze.
Crash — —
Gu Xizhou's eyes widened. It was the sound of chains moving.
Yesterday … He didn't hear it.
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but look up at Si Yu. This sound only appeared after Si Yu came. Could Si Yu be the same as Zhizhi … No, it couldn't be! He had never heard this sound from Si Yu before!
"Why are you staring at me?" Si Yu smirked. He pressed his fist against his mouth and asked in a low voice.
Gu Xizhou heard the sound of chains moving again. Gu Xizhou's heart suddenly throbbed in pain. He stared fixedly at Si Yu. Gu Xizhou's face was already pale from the loss of blood. "There's a sound …"
"There's a sound?" Si Yu raised an eyebrow. "Which one?"
Gu Xizhou nodded. "After you came, I heard it. You …"
Si Yu leaned into Gu Xizhou's ear and chuckled. "Hey, hey, hey. Don't tell me you think that the sound came from me?"
Gu Xizhou was speechless.
Si Yu burst out laughing. "It seems like you really thought that."
Gu Xizhou didn't deny it. He really did think that way.
Si Yu said, "It wasn't me."
Gu Xizhou looked suspiciously at Si Yu and said seriously, "But after you came, I heard a sound. Don't lie to me!"
Lai Shenglei heard Gu Xizhou and Si Yu's conversation and was instantly interested. He felt that this was the time. These two NPCs would definitely reveal some important information. These two NPCs didn't know that he had already seen through them! These two NPCs still wanted to pretend to be players?! Hmph!
Si Yu shook his head helplessly and explained, "It really wasn't me. I don't have that kind of thing on me."
Gu Xizhou stared at Si Yu for a while, as if he was seriously trying to figure out if Si Yu was lying to him. However, Si Yu's face didn't reveal much emotion, only a faint smile.
Seeing that Gu Xizhou was about to say something, Si Yu placed his index finger between Gu Xizhou's lips. This action gave Lai Shenglei, who was observing them, goosebumps all over his body!
Incredible. There were still gays in this world.
Si Yu said in a low voice, "It really wasn't me. But I can roughly guess where the sound came from."
Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu and leaned weakly on Si Yu's shoulder. His left hand squeezed his right hand as he asked, "Then who do you think it came from?"
In the dim room, the man said in a low and hoarse voice, "The woman on your left."
Gu Xizhou said, "She was here yesterday."
Si Yu thought for a moment and said, "She didn't move yesterday. She was moving when you heard the sound."
Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment. He stared at Si Yu and said, "Then walk a few steps. I'll listen."
When Si Yu heard this, he revealed his snow-white teeth. He got up and paced back and forth in the dim room three times before turning his head to look at Gu Xizhou.
"Do you want me to continue walking?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head. Si Yu's body didn't make any sound when he walked. Si Yu sat beside Gu Xizhou and placed his hands on Gu Xizhou's knees. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Gu Xizhou, "If that sound really came from me, what would you do?"
Gu Xizhou hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Perhaps I would choose to stay here forever."
Lai Shenglei was still listening intently to Gu Xizhou and Si Yu's conversation. He had goosebumps all over his body. After all, he was a straight man. When he heard their ambiguous conversation, he immediately felt awkward.
However, he didn't care about the awkwardness. He was still trying to figure out the meaning behind the conversation between the two NPCs.
Sound?
He didn't hear anything just now!
Gu Xizhou didn't say 'die', but Si Yu understood the meaning behind Gu Xizhou's words. He curled his lips, clearly happy. Then, he reached out and rubbed Gu Xizhou's head. Suddenly, he leaned over and planted a kiss on the corner of Gu Xizhou's lips. "I'm very happy."
Gu Xizhou pushed him away and told him to stop fooling around.
After confirming that the sound didn't come from Si Yu, Gu Xizhou tested a few times and confirmed that the door was on Tu Yao. Tu Yao was the ghost of this world.
So what was Tu Yao's wish?
Since the timeline didn't appear in the corridor, Tu Yao's wish definitely had nothing to do with her grandmother.
Gu Xizhou discreetly sized up Tu Yao, who was grabbing onto the corner of his shirt. Tu Yao's wish should be to leave this place. Twenty years ago, Tu Yao's heart had been ripped out by these vicious people. Gu Xizhou still remembered clearly that she had died.
Fulfilling Tu Yao's wish should be very simple. They just had to escape from this damned place. When Fang Zhi arrived tomorrow, they would have a chance to leave this place.
This was because — — one of the matches was a match for 'Ji Hong's' cornea. If Ji Hong suddenly fell ill, these people would definitely open the door. For the sake of money, these people wouldn't let Ji Hong fall ill.
This time, he definitely wouldn't let these people rip out Ji Hong's cornea. Ji Hong … Yes, Ji Hong wouldn't have died!
As Gu Xizhou thought of this, he suddenly thought of a problem. After experiencing Zhizhi's world, he was sure of one thing. The past could be changed. If everyone here successfully escaped and left the door, it meant that the people involved in the incident back then didn't die!
The body he was in now was his own. If he successfully left this place, it meant that the original him didn't die. Then his soul should naturally be in his own body. If he didn't die … then Gu Zhizhi should be revived!
As long as he could leave this world smoothly!
If he could be revived, then Zhizhi should be revived too!
Gu Xizhou didn't know how it would make everything in the real world reasonable. But based on Gu Qing and Zhou Xinyue's situation, they were directly revived.
Gu Xizhou had another conjecture about the resurrection.
After Gu Qing and Zhou Xinyue's revival, Gu Xizhou had carefully investigated once.
The only thing that changed with the resurrection of these two people was the case back then. However, in the past decade or so, these two people seemed to have been pulled out and became an independent branch that had nothing to do with anyone else. This way, the history of the past decade or so would not be changed because of their resurrection. They were more like invisible people!
As far as Gu Xizhou knew, Gu Qing's career was directly diluted after the case of the foreign child. He didn't handle any major cases. One had to know that Gu Qing was a very powerful criminal police officer at that time. Gu Xizhou guessed that this was one of the ways it dealt with things.
Then if all nine of them were revived, it would use the same way to deal with them. The ten years in the middle would be diluted. No one knew whether those memories were real or fake, but everyone knew of their existence.
Gu Xizhou increasingly suspected that his memories were all fabricated by 'it' in the same way. But those scenes were too real. Gu Xizhou couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Once he successfully left this damned place, he would be revived, and so would Zhizhi!
When Gu Xizhou thought of this, his mood couldn't help but improve.
