"Six for life, one for death? What does that mean? " Gu Xizhou looked at the words on the note. The handwriting was the same as the words on the signboard. It was obvious that it was written by Fu Yiran.
Gu Xizhou pursed his lips, stuffed the note into his bag, and went to the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Si Yu sitting in front of the computer, drinking coffee. There was a form on the screen of the laptop.
Gu Xizhou poked his head over. Si Yu didn't mind and said calmly, "The company's quarterly report."
Ten … Ten … Ten million …
Gu Xizhou glanced at it from the corner of his eye. He estimated that there were nine zeros. He didn't see the numbers in front clearly. Si Yu glanced at him and seemed to have realized that he was peeking.
Gu Xizhou looked away. He felt hurt. His hatred for the rich had just risen a little. He wanted to curse the rich, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
Rich people had to survive in the mission world like him. They could see their lives counting down at any time.
If they didn't know when death would come, they wouldn't be afraid. When death stood in front of you and counted down, people would tremble in fear.
Si Yu glanced at the report on the screen and closed it. He reacted calmly to Gu Xizhou's peeking. "There's nothing to see. It's just some numbers."
"It's a number with a goat horn symbol." Gu Xizhou was annoyed by his nonchalant attitude.
Gu Zhizhi, why aren't you a rich person?!
"What's with that look?"
"It's a look of jealousy." Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes and quickly changed the topic. "Oh yes, there's an extra note in my bag. I think Fu Yiran gave it to me."
Gu Xizhou took out the note and handed it to Si Yu. Si Yu took the note and opened it to take a look.
"This handwriting should be written by him. It's exactly the same as the one on the plaque," Gu Xizhou asked curiously. "What do you think the note he gave me means?
"What do you mean by six lives and one death?
"Speaking of which, what's wrong with this Fu Yiran? Every night, he only asks me to accompany him to tear up the newspaper. He never asks you to do so. The two people who died on the first day must have been caught by those faceless women when they tore up the newspaper out of curiosity."
"You didn't ask him why?" Si Yu asked.
At the mention of this, Gu Xizhou was furious. Although he didn't need to be afraid of those women, it didn't mean that he would be happy to be used. "I did. He said, 'Not everyone has a big thigh to rely on.'"
Si Yu was silent for a moment. "Maybe he's crazy."
"It must be."
Gu Xizhou thought about it. This world wasn't that scary … Of course, this was because Si Yu had warned him not to step on the black marble. If he hadn't listened to Si Yu and stepped on it, he would have been pulled into the ground.
If he stepped on a grid with a Buddha statue, the statue would lose its ability to defend itself. The women would come out of the wall. If he stepped on a grid with a human face, he would be pulled into the ground. There were so many grids. Who knew which one had a face and which didn't?
Gu Xizhou felt that his thoughts were wandering again. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about him. Oh yes, do you know what this note means?"
Si Yu's hand paused for a moment. She passed the note back to Gu Xizhou and shook her head. "I don't know."
Gu Xizhou heard this and shrugged indifferently. "Maybe he's just playing a prank. Thank you. I won't be eating lunch. Thank you for breakfast and coffee."
Gu Xizhou downed the coffee on the table in one gulp. "This coffee tastes pretty good. Where did you buy it?"
"…" Si Yu looked at him silently. "You can't afford it."
Gu Xizhou was speechless.
Evil rich people!
"I'm leaving." Gu Xizhou relaxed his clenched fists and resisted the urge to beat Si Yu up. He got into his little Land Rover parked in front of Si Yu's house and left.
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows as he drove. He took out the note that Fu Yiran had stuffed into his bag and read it.
Fu Yiran was a strange person. He had told him that there were at least two people in the team who could take him out of this world.
One of them was him. Although Fu Yiran didn't mention the name of the other person, Gu Xizhou's intuition told him that the person was Si Yu.
If both of them could take him out, why didn't Fu Yiran want Si Yu to take him out? What was the difference?
By the time Gu Xizhou got home, it was almost noon.
'6' for life and '1' for death? This question lingered in his mind.
When Gu Xizhou got home and opened the door, he saw the news on the TV in his house.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the remote control floating in the air reduced the volume of the TV and returned to the coffee table in the living room. Gu Zhizhi, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly stood up with a pen and paper in his hands.
Gu Zhizhi said, "You're back."
Gu Xizhou couldn't see anyone, but he still smiled at the air. "Yes."
"I'm hungry," Gu Xizhou said. "I just went through a mental torture. I'm going to lie down for a while."
His voice was filled with fatigue as he lay down on the sofa. He had possessed the bodies of the women, so he could clearly feel their despair and pain.
In the mission world, he had to be tense at all times. However, he was confident in his abilities. As long as he didn't encounter any strange deaths, he wasn't afraid.
However, the moment he opened the door and went in, he experienced the story of the dead. The feeling of being possessed was too unbearable. It was as if he was the one in the cupboard, and the one buried in the ground was him.
"Mm … mm …" Gu Xizhou felt something wet licking his face. He opened his eyes in dissatisfaction and saw his son stepping on his chest.
There was the sound of cooking in the kitchen. After a while, Gu Xizhou saw his family's plate being placed on the dining table by a 'ghost'. It smelled very good, even though it was just egg fried rice.
"Oh my god …" Gu Xizhou sat up and touched his son who was still young. He was instantly energized. "Is this the legendary 'wife and child'? I didn't expect Zhizhi to cook fried rice for me! Suddenly, I don't despise you for being poor anymore. "
Gu Zhizhi: "…"
Gu Zhizhi wrote: Poor?
"Oh, I took a peek at Si Yu today … mm … it's Si Yaoxing from the first world. His company earned more than nine figures this quarter!" Gu Xizhou made an envious expression. "Compared to him, aren't you very poor? If I resurrected from his body, I wouldn't have to work. I could just lie at home and count the money."
Gu Zhizhi: "…"
Gu Zhizhi ignored Gu Xizhou's nonsense and didn't even make a sound. Gu Xizhou couldn't see 'ghosts'. After a few sentences, no one responded to him and he lost interest.
"You're ignoring me? Forget it, let's talk about something serious." Gu Xizhou ate two mouthfuls of rice and said, "When I entered that world this time, someone gave me a note.
"Look, it's this."
Gu Xizhou took out the note from his trouser pocket and placed it on the table. At the same time, there seemed to be someone sitting on the chair beside him who took the note.
Gu Zhizhi: Six for life, one for death. Good luck to you?
"Do you know what this means?"
The pen on the note moved and wrote: I don't know.
"Damn, he's not just playing with me, right?" Gu Xizhou pursed his lips. At this moment, Gu Xizhou's phone rang. He picked up the phone and was about to answer when someone hit him on the hand.
Gu Xizhou: "…"
"Okay, okay, okay. Put it on speaker." Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes and put it on speaker.
"Old Gu, come to Feng Huang Mountain."
From the voice, it was the forensic doctor, Xiang Yuan, Gu Zhizhi's good friend. Gu Xizhou was stunned. Then, it seemed like someone was trying to snatch the phone.
"Gu Ge, you're fine!" Fang Zhi's voice came from the other side.
"I'm fine." Gu Xizhou knew what Fang Zhi meant. He replied, "What happened over there?"
"It should be … the dismembered body case," Fang Zhi replied.
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Before he hung up the phone, he saw the door to his house open.
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Then, a bunch of car keys were stuffed into Gu Xizhou's hand. He was pushed out of the house and the door was slammed shut. Gu Xizhou stood at the door with the keys in his hand. He looked at the door and then at the slippers on his feet. Then, he knocked on the door frantically.
"Hey, Gu Zhizhi, at least let me wear my shoes properly!"
The door opened and a pair of slippers was thrown out of the door. It seemed to mean, "Take it and get lost."
Gu Xizhou: "…"
"Gu Zhizhi, you win!" Gu Xizhou was furious. He changed his shoes at the door and left.
