Chapter 100: Running out of ammunition and foodChapter 100: Running out of ammunition and food"Meow~"
"Master, the Blood Crows are going to evacuate!"
At Mo Lian's feet, the Yin-Yang cat stretched out its claws lazily, "Do you want to stop it?"
Thinking of Xiao Tiantian's tragic death and the teammates she had been with for many days, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
"If you want to leave, you need my permission."
"Captain, come with me and kill the Blood Crow King."
"I am very happy to serve my master." The Yin-Yang Cat's fur suddenly turned into colorful black.
It was so fast that it left a long shadow behind it as it ran, and climbed up the stairs like a gust of wind.
Mo Lian no longer hid, but stood out, aimed at the Blood Crow King above the clock on the rooftop, and pulled the switch.
"boom--"
The Blood Crow King sensed the approaching danger and locked his blood-red eyes on Mo Lian. Those eyes were like a hungry eagle, greedy and bloodthirsty.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
As soon as it cried, the nearby flock of blood crows rushed forward regardless of their lives and used their bodies to block the artillery ammunition.
With a "bang", the artillery shell exploded in mid-air, and red feathers fluttered all over the sky, blocking Mo Lian's sight.
"Bang, bang, bang" the sound of machine guns came from another direction.
Mo Lian looked over and found that it was Weize who followed her. She withdrew her gaze and continued to look for the best viewing point, and the cannon was once again aimed at the Blood Crow King.
On the clock, it flapped its wings and glanced at the two people below with an arrogant look.
The black cat took advantage of its paw pads to silently climb to the top of the tower, activating its stealth skill.
Seeing that the black cat was about to launch an attack, Mo Lian planned to provide cover for it and attract the attention of the Blood Crow King.
She raised the cannon and fired several shots in quick succession.
The Blood Crow King had a look of disdain on his face, and didn't move at all. He just opened his mouth and chirped a few times, and countless blood crows flew over to block the shells for him.
The desolate and dilapidated streets were soon covered with red feathers, as if it had snowed red.
While firing, Weize retreated to Mo Lian's side and said, "Boss Mo, the blood crows in the city center are coming. With them here, we can't kill the blood crow king."
"If we don't run away, we will run out of ammunition and food soon, and we will be their food."
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As the leader of the group, you must not act on impulse!"
"It's almost ten o'clock. Once the black fog comes, we will be contaminated by the strange aura even without Blood Crow's help. If we're lucky, we might even turn into a disgusting monster like Blood Crow."
Mo Lian curled her lips, "If you're scared, you can go by yourself."
The girl's eyebrows were curved, but there was murderous intent in her smile. It was obvious at first glance that she would not give up until the Blood Crow King was killed.
Wei Ze raised his lips and smiled evilly, "You are not afraid, so what should I, a grown man, be afraid of?"
"At worst, I'll sacrifice my life to accompany you."
"Just do it!"
"good."
Mo Lian raised his cannon and fired at a large area of enemies.
Weize cooperated with her and killed the Blood Crow that wanted to sneak attack the two of them.
This time, the targets were more dense, and the number of blood crows decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Unfortunately, they don't have enough bullets!
"I'll go get someone to send over bullets and shells."
"Don't go."
As soon as Wei Ze turned around, Mo Lian stopped him, "It's too late."
"What?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard a hoarse and fierce cat's cry from above.
The blood crows were in complete chaos.
Only then did Mo Lian see clearly that the black cat on top of the clock was biting the head of the Blood Crow King tightly, and no matter how it flapped its black wings with all its might, it could not break free.
Catch the leader first, it's done!
The flock of blood crows dispersed for a moment, then changed their target and attacked the black cat.
"Ami, go back to the outside of the city center compound!"
The black cat looked at Mo Lian from a distance, nodded in a humane way, and ran away as agilely as a leopard.
As soon as it ran away, the Blood Crows no longer cared about the two people on the street and hurried to chase after it.
Mo Lian carried the cannon on his shoulder and ran away in one swift step, "Let's go back and clean up the monsters that came to our door."
Wei Ze looked at her back gradually disappearing in the black fog, curled the corners of his lips, and quickly followed.
…
Downtown, office buildings.
The Blood Crows retreated, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.
Unexpectedly, in just over two hours, they returned in overwhelming numbers.
A blood-red fog covered a small patch of sky.
When Li Qiang saw this scene, worry flashed in his eyes.
Shen Hangyu and others did not come back.
As the second-in-command of the group, Mo Lian was not here either.
He was unsure.
"Everyone be on alert, get your guns and ammunition ready!"
After a whole day of continuous fighting, even though they were exhausted, everyone still insisted on returning to their respective positions and setting up their guns.
They all had numb expressions, with a look of tragic certainty of death.
Lina's hand holding the gun felt a dull pain, and she didn't know how long she could hold on.
I also don't know if I will perish in the strange rule copy of the Lost City.
But she thought of Mo Lian, so she cheered herself up, endured the pain all over her body, picked up the machine gun, fired the first shot, and hit a blood crow flying close by.
At this moment, a black cat came into view.
She recognized it at a glance. This was the darkened state of Mo Lian's strange pet Yin-Yang cat.
The black cat stopped far outside the high wall of the courtyard, running back and forth using its body movements and the terrain to attract the flock of blood crows to chase it.
As a result, there were not many blood crows flying around to hurt people.
"What's going on with the blood crows? Why are they chasing that little black cat?"
"Look, it seems to have a blood crow in its mouth. Did it catch the Crow King?"
"Maybe. Anyway, it's a good thing for us."
Just as everyone was wondering, they saw three figures supporting each other walking out of the ruins at the end of their sight.
They were overjoyed, "Look, it's Boss Shen and Captains Kimmel and Kenston!"
"Not good, the Blood Crows are going to attack them."
"Quick, cover fire!"
For a moment, everyone shot towards the sky to attract hatred.
The number of blood crows is not as large as before, but it is still not small.
Shen Hangyu and Kimir supported Kenston on the left and right. As soon as they walked out of the alley, they were blocked by the Blood Crows and surrounded by them.
The three of them were stunned.
Kenston sighed, "It's over. We have to go to see God together."
"Meeting God with you is the greatest misfortune in my life." Kimir pulled out his pistol and killed the blood crow that flew in front of him.
Shen Hangyu frowned.
The three of them were too far away from the central compound, so even if someone came to rescue them now, it would be of no help.
It can be said that...
There is only one dead end ahead.
After all, escaping from a plane crash is not an easy task. The three of them suffered a lot of injuries, big and small, and they were lucky not to die.
Unfortunately, the luck ran out.
"We retreat to the corner to reduce the area of attack. We will hold out as long as we can."
Shen Hangyu's method is the only solution available.
The three retreated to the corner of the abandoned building and fought back with their only two remaining pistols.
"Bang!"
There was an empty sound.
Kimmel shrugged. "No more bullets."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Hangyu's gun ran out of bullets, leaving only an empty gun shell.
"God bless me, don't worry about these two friends around me, you must take me to heaven." Kenston closed his eyes and prayed devoutly.
A girl's ethereal laughter came into my ears, "If you want to go to heaven, then I have no choice but to save these two friends around you and leave you behind."
Chapter 101 Complete the Clearing Mission
Chapter 101 Complete the Clearing Mission
The girl in camouflage uniform stood in the ruins, with a playful smile on her lips.
She shouldered the cannon and pulled the switch.
"Bang, bang, bang…"
Four or five shots were fired in succession, creating a big hole in the blood mist.
Kenston opened his eyes and was overjoyed, "Oh, dear Miss Mo Lian, you are simply an angel sent by God."
"In the ancient language of your Dragon Nation, this life-saving grace must be repaid with one's body."
Mo Lian paused and glanced at him coldly, "Then don't run away, just die here."
Kenston held his heart, looking heartbroken.
"Mo Lian, you are so ruthless."
Kimir couldn't bear to see this and kicked him on the broken leg. "Mo Lian saved more than just you. If she pledges her love to you, I wonder how many people she will marry."
"By then, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to be the third, fourth, or fifth mistress. If you don't want to die, follow us into the central building."
The audience in Longguo's live broadcast room were amused by his words.
[I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm Miss Mo Lian's eldest wife. The mistresses, come out and pay your respects.]
[You'd better stop talking nonsense. I am Miss Mo Lian's legal wife. Because of your rumors, when Miss Mo Lian comes out of the rules talk, she will have to work hard to persuade me not to be angry.]
[Hello, both wives. I won't hide it. I am Miss Mo Lian's first concubine.]
[Oh my god, my goddess has so many wives. I don't mind living with you. Just leave me a place to sleep.]
[The above person has such a nice dream, hurry up (;｀O′)o and get out, Miss Mo Lian can only be mine! ]
In the barrage, Mo Lian was being fought over by a group of people.
Dragon country.
Starlight Luxury Apartment.
The fluorescent light from the computer screen illuminates a woman with delicate makeup.
When she saw the comments in the live broadcast of the Rules Ghost Talk, she was so angry that she raised her hand and threw the desktop computer to the ground with a "bang".
"Mo Lian, it's Mo Lian again."
"I won't let you succeed, just wait for me!"
Perhaps she was too angry, her whole body was shaking, and she fell to the ground. She quickly reached out, opened the drawer, and looked for the medicine bottle.
I calmed down after taking the medicine.
The woman lay on the snow-white plush blanket, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Mo Lian, I will never let you go!"
However, the Mo Lian she mentioned had no idea that she was being inexplicably targeted by this person.
I wouldn't care even if I knew.
At this moment, she had led Shen Hangyu and others out of the Blood Crow's encirclement.
Kenston was seriously injured and was carried away.
Shen Hangyu took over the command, turned his head, and asked Mo Lian, "Should we open fire?"
"etc."
Mo Lian stood on the top of the wall and explained, "Today, all the monsters in the Dark City have come. We don't have many shells left, so we can't waste them."
"Be ready. Wait for the blood crows to approach, then attack with all your strength."
At this point, she looked at the black cat that was avoiding the blood crows, "Ami, move!"
When the black cat heard her voice, it rushed out like an arrow and ran back and forth within the range of the people in the trench.
The sharp teeth stung the Blood Crow King, and it immediately struggled, whimpering.
The flock of blood crows chased the black cat like crazy.
Mo Lian raised a faint smile, "Now, fire!"
Shen Hangyu picked up the whistle from his neck and put it to his mouth.
"Beep——"
The two bosses returned safely, and the initiative was in our hands.
The people in the regiment were like chicken blood, and they fired machine guns, grenades, and rockets into the sky.
The Blood Crow King cannot escape, and the Blood Crows cannot escape without orders.
Before ten o'clock, the last blood crow was hit by Mo Lian, fell from the sky, and smashed heavily into the ground, covered in a layer of fiery red feathers.
"Mo Lian, we won!" Shen Hangyu said excitedly.
The other members of the group also cheered.
The half-dead Blood Crow King was carried to the top of the wall by the black cat and pinned under its claws.
"Master, how do we deal with it?"
Mo Lian lowered his head, his cold gaze falling on the scarred Blood Crow King.
Because of it, half of the more than 1,000 people in the regiment died.
Xiao Tiantian's last words before her death seemed to still be fresh in her mind. She believed that she was not a soft-hearted person.
But Xiao Tiantian's death made her inexplicably sad, and she couldn't find the reason.
She was silent for a long time, then said calmly, "Just take care of it."
After receiving the order, the black cat couldn't help swallowing.
The Blood Crow King felt something was wrong and was about to run, but his head was bitten off and the remaining half of his body fluttered on the ground.
[Congratulations to Dragon Nation's Chosen One Mo Lian for completing the mission of clearing out the monsters in Hades City. Plot unlocked +20, and the plot is currently advanced by 70%]
Mo Lian frowned.
Her hunch told her that there was still a task to be done.
"Dear warriors, thank you for your contribution to the Underworld City." The mayor who had disappeared for a whole day appeared out of nowhere.
He was radiating white light, which reflected the entire central building.
The central building turned out to be a safe house.
[Rule 10: The mayor is in the building at the center of the city. He is a warm-hearted person. If you find him, you will get protection.]
This rule is indeed fine.
Mo Lian looked at his watch and it was exactly ten o'clock.
"Mayor, can you tell me how to restore Hades City to normal?"
After today, it will be the eighth day, and there is still 30% of the story to be unlocked before we can complete the game perfectly.
Lu Zheng smiled, "Everyone is tired, let's go to the safe house to rest first, there will be more tasks to be issued later."
When Mo Lian heard him say this, he knew that there would be a new plot tonight.
"Dear warriors, please follow me." Lu Zheng led the way.
Mo Lian looked around and saw that the street lights in the yard were functioning normally, so the safe house was not fake.
"Sister Mo Lian." Lina walked beside her, staring at her with sparkling eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"When I get back, I'll find a chance to treat you to a meal in Longguo."
"Since we're already in Dragon Country, it's only natural for me to act as a good host and treat you to a meal."
"That's fine too. I'll go to Longguo for a meal."
The two's words made Kimmel and Kenston smile at each other.
The center building looks new on the outside, but the inside is only half decorated. In some places, there are still a lot of boards and sand piled up.
Lu Zheng led everyone to the cafeteria.
As soon as Mo Lian walked in, he smelled a rich aroma of food.
Dozens of large round tables were filled with dishes.
There is a big plate of chicken, shredded pork with fish flavor, green vegetables, spicy river shrimps, and even a whole pork elbow, which is quite a feast.
The cafeteria is not very big and it is a bit crowded to accommodate more than 500 people.
"These are all dishes I made myself, please don't be disgusted, please sit down and eat."
Lu Zheng spoke and Shen Hangyu nodded.
Everyone was so hungry that they quickly found their seats and rushed to eat with their chopsticks.
Mo Lian was separated from Mayor Lu Zheng by a seat and released Lu Xiaoyi, allowing him to eat the food his father cooked again.
"dad!"
Just as Lu Xiaoyi's eyes were about to turn red, Lu Zheng patted her on the head and said, "Don't talk while eating."
Lu Zheng peeled the shrimp with red eyes, "Dad remembers that you like to eat shrimp from the stream the most."
"This was what I personally led people to salvage from the river before the Red Rain came. I wanted to bring some back for you to eat, but I didn't expect that to happen."
"Don't be too sad. The disaster will soon be over. You'll grow up too. You'll have to learn by yourself what you want to eat in the future."
"Dad can't cook for you forever."
Lu Xiaoyi was eating shrimps and his tears fell on the table.
Mo Lian took a bite of the shredded pork with fish flavor and found it tasted good.
She raised her slightly curled eyelashes, glanced at Mayor Lu secretly, and decided that after completing the five-star clearance, she would bring the chef with her no matter what, to ensure that she would have a good meal in the dungeon in the future.102 White Candle
Chapter 102 White Candle
Underworld, central building.
Outside the door, the fog grew thicker and thicker, and even the light from the nearby street lamps could not penetrate the darkness.
Mo Lian could clearly feel the cold and eerie atmosphere even when he was standing inside the glass door.
"The pollution is too serious and we can't get out. We only have two days left to pass the border. Safety is our top priority." Kimir looked at the mayor of Mingcheng, Lu Zheng, and suggested.
"Why don't we do the mission tomorrow?"
Kenston was seriously injured, so he agreed with both hands, "I agree."
Lina stood beside Mo Lian, "I will do whatever Sister Mo Lian tells me to do."
"Mo Lian, what do you think?" Shen Hangyu looked at the brothers sitting on the ground around him and asked.
For a moment, Mo Lian became the focus of everyone's attention.
She pondered for a moment and raised the corners of her lips. "It doesn't matter whether I have any opinion or not. What matters is what your mayor has to say."
"I believe that he could see that you were very tired, and some of you were injured, but he didn't let you rest. This only shows that we didn't have the chance to wait."
Lu Zheng smiled, "Noble warrior, you are right."
"Everyone has seen how strong the strange atmosphere outside is. At the beginning, ordinary people could hold out for an hour or two, but later on, the time became shorter and shorter."
"If you go out in this kind of fog, I'm afraid you won't last ten minutes."
"The most serious problem is that after tonight, 'it' will become even more powerful. By then, we may pay a heavy price and still fail to achieve victory."
"Please believe that I share the same feelings as every one of you and am eager to get this city back to normal."
No one in the hall responded.
Pain, fatigue, and fear of death gradually overwhelmed everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere began to become depressing.
The resistance during the day was because there was no way out.
Now that I am in the safe house and have had a brief period of relaxation, the fear of death has reached its peak.
There were more than a thousand people, but now there are only more than five hundred left. Nearly half of the members were torn to pieces and devoured by monsters right in front of them.
Mo Lian knew that it would be difficult to let these people face the strange pollution directly and walk out of this gate.
What's more, there are unknown dangers in the dark night.
"Mr. Mayor, I think you have a way to ensure our personal safety. Even if we leave the safe house, we will not be contaminated by the weirdness, right?"
Her words made everyone's eyes fall on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng looked at Mo Lian with appreciation, "You are very smart. I can indeed lead you out of the safe house, but there are still some preparations to be made before we leave the house."
"What is it?" Mo Lian asked.
"Follow me." Lu Zheng turned around and walked towards the stairwell.
Mo Lian and others followed him and saw that the big iron door of the stair compartment was opened, revealing a dark hole. They could only vaguely see that there was a wooden ladder leading to the underground.
Lu Zheng climbed down first.
"Mo Lian, will there be any danger?" Kimir asked in a low voice.
"No, Lu Zheng is a mayor with good conduct. Someone once reported him, and the higher-ups sent people to investigate. They found that he was so honest that he had a difficult life." Shen Hangyu walked to the side of the cave.
"You don't know that I can study because of him who has been supporting me."
"After I graduated, I found out that he was the mayor here, so I came here to find him."
"I witnessed the city undergo a tremendous transformation, and I also witnessed the disaster that destroyed his ten years of hard work."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe him. I'll go down first and lead the way for you."
"If there's any danger, don't worry about me."
After Shen Hangyu said these words, he walked into the cave along the wooden ladder without hesitation.
Li Qiang and others also followed.
Mo Lian looked at Lu Xiaoyi who was pursing his lips and not speaking, "Come on, follow me."
She didn't climb the ladder, but jumped down.
The cave was not very deep, only about three meters. After I stepped on solid ground, I found that there was an entrance in front of me.
The basement is dark and has a lot of space.
Shen Hangyu's flashlight swept across the ground, revealing rows of corpses covered with white cloth.
Mo Lian walked to Lu Zheng's side and asked, "Take us here to see the body?"
Lu Zheng sighed, "They were all heroes who died fighting for the Dark City. After the red rain fell from the sky, they were the ones running around saving those who had contracted strange diseases, but they didn't survive the disaster."
"But even in death, their souls are protecting this city."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the corpses glowed instantly. It was a bright white light. The light gradually gathered and floated in the air, forming a burning white candle.
The huge basement is brightly lit.
"Do you know why there is a safe house?"
"They are the ones who are burning their souls to protect those who survived."
"Come on, everyone bring a candle. We are going to purify the source of weirdness and return our city to its original state."
Shen Hangyu's eyes turned red when he heard his words.
He walked forward and held the candle in both hands, but was unable to take it away.
Mo Lian grabbed his hand and placed it under the candle, "Boss Shen, they are heroes, we should say thank you."
"Unknown hero, thank you for your sacrifice, and thank you for fighting for the Underworld." The girl's words were light, but inexplicably carried a power that penetrated the soul, ethereal and distant.
Everyone followed her words and really got the candles.
[Rule 3: The city is in chaos, many rescue workers have died, they have life-saving weapons, please take them away politely]
The so-called life-saving weapon turned out to be their souls.
In his hand, the candlelight flickered.
In the alternating light of light and dark, the girl's face appeared mysterious and gorgeous, holy like a god, yet strange like a devil.
Shen Hangyu looked at Mo Lian for a long time, but couldn't understand how such completely different temperaments could be combined into one person?
Lu Zheng saw that everyone picked up the candles and waved his hand. The scene in front of everyone changed and they appeared outside the courtyard wall.
The white light dispels the eerie aura and illuminates the road beneath your feet.
"Everyone stay together, don't get separated, ignore any sounds you hear on the road, and don't look back; remember, as long as you have a candle in your hand, the ghosts will not dare to harm you."
"Please hold on, we will soon have real victory."
He was emitting white light all over his body and walking in front to lead the way.
The darkness was boundless, and white candles were like thousands of stars, marching through the long street.
"Hehe…"
A strange laugh came from the abandoned house, sending chills down everyone's spine.
The team walked for about ten minutes and a big tree appeared in front of them.
It took more than a dozen adults to hug the tree. The crown of the tree was very high. In the shadow of the branches, a pair of blood-red eyes as big as millstones suddenly opened.
Just as Kenston raised his gun, Mo Lian held it down, "Don't shoot, it's not weird."103 Complete the Lost City Dungeon
Chapter 103 Complete the Lost City Dungeon
A gust of cold wind blew, and the flame on the white candle flickered and became as big as a bean.
Darkness came, and wisps of mist lingered around everyone, but could not get any closer, corroding people's souls.
The candle light is very small, but it is still trying hard to burn itself and try its best to protect the people around it.
"Hehe…"
"Hahahahahaha…so many delicious foods."
"What are you doing?"
"Come here, just come back for the first time and you will have everything you have ever dreamed of."
Those voices, with their bewitching power, came from all directions and confused people's minds.
"ah--"
A scream came from the back of the team.
When Mo Lian turned around, he saw a man wrapped in bandages being dragged into the black fog by countless pairs of black hands.
Soon, the sound of bones breaking was heard.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Under the giant tree, Lu Zheng hurriedly shouted, "Don't pay attention to anything the weirdos say, and don't look them in the eye."
"Now, everyone sit in a circle around this tree, not too far from each other."
"Remember, find your own place, sit down, pray, bless, and ask God to purify our city!"
As he said, everyone surrounded the tree several times, knelt on the ground, closed their eyes devoutly, and chanted various words asking for God's blessing.
The tiny sounds spread in the middle of the night and were particularly eerie.
Like...
Some kind of sacrifice.
"I would like to offer my most sincere faith to the gods, and ask them to purify our city and dispel the weirdness."
"I will become the most devout believer of God and pray for his protection."
"Noble God, please give me your blessing!"
"…"
Amidst countless whispers, Mo Lian quietly opened his eyes a little.
The candles in everyone's hands gradually became brighter during the prayer process, and the fire that was about to go out at any time now emitted a soft white light.
Wisp after wisp of light interweaves together and merges into the tree canopy.
In an instant, the big tree began to grow, and waves of white light spread out to the edge with it as the center.
[The Tree of Hope lives on the hope of all living beings. As long as there is hope in one's heart, darkness will have nowhere to hide...]
[At first, people in Hades lived in poverty but happily. After their lives got better, they developed all kinds of desires, which were insatiable and could never be satisfied.]
[Remember, no matter what you have gained or lost, no matter what kind of life you live now, don't forget how pure, flawless, firm and confident you were in the beginning]
[Never get lost in the abyss of your own desires. When a person's heart begins to darken, "it" will take the opportunity to descend into your world.]
[Dear warriors, thank you for helping the Hades City dispel the evil forces]
[Congratulations to the Chosen One Mo Lian for unlocking the Tree of Hope plot, plot progress +30, currently the plot progress is 100%]
[Congratulations to Dragon Nation's Chosen One Mo Lian for unlocking the five-star clearance]
At this moment, Longguo's live broadcast room was boiling again, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
[Ahhhh… Congratulations to my goddess for once again completing Rule of the Ghost Talk perfectly.]
[I heard that my husband is going to study at Taoism College. How can I get into Taoism College? Is it too late for me to transfer now? ]
[Don't even think about it. The Taoist Academy doesn't look at the age of students, but they have to pass identity verification and have the right birth date. Most importantly, they have to take exams, unless they join the basic class and start from scratch.]
[Yes, I heard that Mo Lian's class is an elite class. The Taoist Academy covers an area of 300,000 square meters. Let alone taking classes together, even if you want to meet each other, it requires fate.]
[Hahaha, be envious of me, I'm going to Tao Academy tomorrow]
[Brother Dao, please help me get Mo Lian's autograph]

[...]
While the outside world was cheering for Mo Lian for passing the level, she was busy using her gold medal brainwashing skills to brainwash the mayor at the last minute.
[Brainwashing skill successful, congratulations on obtaining a strange pet, a white candle]
Mo Lian: "???"
Thinking of the bodies under the white sheets in the basement, she suddenly realized that the mayor was no longer a normal person.
As soon as the mark was planted in Lu Zheng's mind, a force of rules brought him into an independent space.
The scene before my eyes was like a shattered mirror, shattering into pieces.
In the darkness, Mo Lian was the only one left.
[Congratulations to Dragon Nation's Chosen One Mo Lian for completing the Lost City dungeon perfectly and receiving rewards: physical strength +1, mental strength +5, a random attribute point skill card, and a Tianshi gold watch.]
[In addition, three strange pets are fixedly dropped: Lu Xiaoyi, a college student with clear eyes and a foolish look (he is weak and needs to be upgraded), a strange shadow (can enter the target's shadow and kill the target), and a white candle (transformed by the mayor's soul, can burn itself and illuminate everyone)]
[Congratulations to Longguo for completing the Rule Strange Stories dungeon perfectly, and clearing a random strange city. All Longguo people's human physical points +5]
At this moment, everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom heard the mechanical sound from the sky and cheered loudly.
Even people with limited mobility will instantly feel their bodies become more flexible, their waists and legs no longer ached, and they feel like they had endless energy.
Dragon Country Weird Management Committee.
When good things happen, people are in high spirits. Mr. Zhou, with a rosy face, put the bracelet on his wrist and said, "Let's go and pick up our hero together."
…
At the end of autumn, the weather is particularly cold.
Mo Lian had just come out of the rule talk when he was covered in goose bumps from the cold.
She looked down and found that the clothes she changed into in the copy were gone. Fortunately, she was wearing an inner lining and there were tree walls around her, so she didn't expose herself.
Gu Changsheng, who was walking in the front, caught sight of the girl behind the tree wall at a glance. She was only wearing a thin base shirt, revealing a pair of slender arms, and was looking at him with innocent eyes.
Gu Changsheng quickly turned around and said, "Mr. Zhou, Grandpa, and everyone else, please wait here for a moment."
"Okay." Mr. Zhou agreed.
"Thank you." Gu Changsheng turned around, took off his white coat, walked towards Mo Lian, and threw the clothes to her across the tree wall.
"Put it on, don't catch a cold."
"oh."
The weather was too cold, so Mo Lian didn't bother to be polite with him. She took the coat and put it on directly.
Gu Changsheng's white coat made the slender Mo Lian look even smaller. The sleeves were a little long, revealing only her fair fingertips.
The hem is very long, covering the calves.
She walked out of the tree wall while sorting her clothes. When Gu Changsheng saw her, the corners of his lips curled up in an imperceptible manner.
The girl was wearing a loose white coat, as if she was secretly wearing adult clothes, but she didn't look like an adult at all. She was cute, yet awkward.
"Are you still cold?"
"A little bit." Mo Lian turned his head away and didn't look at him.
However, the faint smell of disinfectant on the white coat cannot be ignored.
Hearing her say that it was cold, Gu Changsheng's voice softened unconsciously, "Come with me, say hello to Mr. Zhou, and we'll go homeChapter 104 Eating the melon and eating yourselfChapter 104 Eating the melon and eating yourselfMo Lian walked out of the tree wall wearing Gu Changsheng's white coat, which surprised everyone.
Old Zhou realized why Gu Changsheng had left Old Man Gu behind and insisted on going there alone. It turned out that he wanted to deliver a coat to the little girl.
He coughed lightly, "Mo Lian, you performed well in this ghost talk."
"Just now Pakistan and the Great Bear called us and asked me to thank you."
"In addition to Japan, the United States and several other countries have also sent emails to express their gratitude. Kenston also said that he has something to send to you and there will be a special flight coming tomorrow."
"This instance is the first time in history that ten Chosen Ones have survived."
When Mr. Zhou said this, he was very excited. "This is all thanks to you, Mo Lian. Longguo will never forget your kindness."
"Then give me a pistol!" Mo Lian suggested.
"this..."
Elder Zhou looked at Gu Changsheng, "Xiao Gu, what do you think we should do about this?"
"I'll arrange it."
Gu Changsheng put his hands on Grandpa Gu's wheelchair and said in a light voice, "Mo Lian and my grandfather are tired. I will take them back to rest."
"Well, go ahead." Old Zhou nodded in agreement, and Gu Changsheng lifted his long legs and walked out.
At this time, a black armored vehicle drove over and stopped on the side of the road.
The driver got out of the car and just opened the door, Mo Lian lifted the wheelchair and put Mr. Gu safely into the car.
The driver who was robbed of his job as a human carrier: "…"
Old Master Gu teased, "Little girl, you are worthy of being the chosen one of our Dragon Country. Your strength is comparable to that of the Overlord of Chu."
"If I had not been strong enough, I would have died in Guicheng long ago." Mo Lian squeezed into the car and turned to Gu Changsheng and said, "The space in the back is small, you sit in the front."
Gu Changsheng looked around and saw that there was still room for four or five people, but he said nothing.
He closed the car door and got into the driving seat.
driver:"???"
"You don't need to drive today, go back."
"yes!"
…
Maybe because of his old age, Mr. Gu started dozing off as soon as he got in the car.
Mo Lian muted his phone and swiped the screen.
As soon as the green bubble opened, two red dots appeared at the contact number.
[May you live forever: OK, I wish you all the best and wait for your triumphant return]
She received this message before entering the dungeon, and there was another one that was sent just over half an hour later.
[May you live forever: Congratulations on passing the level perfectly. Remember, don't forget to come to the academy to register tomorrow]
Mo Lian raised the corner of his lips and quickly typed a line of words with his fingertips.
Pitiable but not cute: "Thank God."
"I will definitely get up early tomorrow. I am really looking forward to the day when I will meet the great god."
The other party did not reply to the message.
She opened another person's chat box.
[Professor Gu: Congratulations]
The message is very cold, just like someone who is frugal with words.
Mo Lian rolled her eyes at Gu Changsheng who was driving in front, then opened the homepage of the website to read some gossip, and immediately became energetic.
[Revelation! Pictures speak louder than words, a famous beauty blogger is actually the girlfriend of the prince of the Imperial Capital, and it is said that the two families are old friends]
When he opened it, he saw the photo inside was of Gu Changsheng wearing a white coat.
As for the heroine in the hot search, she is a sweet and lovely girl with delicate makeup. The beauty filter is turned on to the point of distortion. When put together with the photos of Gu Changsheng without any correction or beauty filter, it looks a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
Mo Lian forwarded the link to the WeChat account of "吾生岁岁安".
Pitiful but not cute: "Master, great news, someone actually wants Gu Changsheng's dead ice cube!"
"Once he gets married, I will be homeless. I am a little excited just thinking about it."
"Master, I have already thought about my future life. I will live in the school, go to school during the day, and do odd jobs to earn money at night."
She kept sending messages, and the phone in Gu Changsheng's pocket kept vibrating.
Drive back to the garden.
The guards took Mr. Gu away.
Afraid that Mo Lian would get lost, Gu Changsheng sent her back to her room before returning to Changsheng Residence and turning on his cell phone.
A series of information bombardment made him frown.
Gu Changsheng clicked on the link sent by Shun Molian and saw his own photo.
The fingers holding the phone were squeezed with a little force, and the fingertips turned a little white.
He is not a man who gets angry easily.
But now, he was really angry.
He opened the address book and dialed an unknown number.
"Hey, why did Master Gu think of me? Could it be..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Gu Changsheng interrupted him coldly, "I'll give you half an hour to remove all the hot searches and photos about me on the Internet."
"Send a lawyer's letter to all the websites that published false information."
"As for that internet celebrity named Xiao Lingdang, ask her to apologize and clarify, otherwise she will be banned from the entire internet."
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before he came to his senses, "I thought you were just trying to make me happy, but I didn't expect someone was trying to force you to acknowledge your girlfriend in this way!"
"After all, the Chu family and the Gu family are old friends. Grandpa Gu has been very kind to them over the years. I didn't expect Chu Ling to become so bold that she dared to set her sights on you."
"Wait, as long as Grandpa Gu doesn't take action, I will take care of it for you, brother."
"But can you tell me who the little rabbit is that was photographed with you?"
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know." Gu Changsheng hung up the phone and pinched his nose in annoyance.
He sat on the chair, wanting to explain to Mo Lian, but didn't know what to explain.
After thinking about it, he used Gu Sui'an's green bubble account to send out several so-called solid screenshots.
The message arrived and was opened immediately.
Mo Lian thought the master was enjoying the melon with him, so he clicked on the picture happily, only to realize that something was wrong.
The screenshot of the internet celebrity blogger's homepage did not include any photos of him and Gu Changsheng.
Instead, there is one in her comment section.
In the photo, more than a dozen fully armed security guards are guarding the store selling dolls tightly.
Through the glass window, one could only see the handsome profile of the man wearing a black mask, but the girl in the photo was wearing a pink bunny costume.
"This photo that proves it is... me?"
When the melon fell on his body, Mo Lian's body shook and his eyes widened like copper bells.
She flipped through it again and finally understood what this misunderstanding was about.
That day, she was photographed while shopping in the mall with Gu Changsheng. In addition, after the assassination attempt, Gu Changsheng, who accidentally showed his face, became a hotly discussed figure on the Internet, and his identity as the only legitimate grandson of General Gu was also revealed.
On the same day, an internet celebrity named Xiao Lingdang also posted a photo of herself wearing a pink bunny costume, with a suspicious text attached...
"Thank you dear for accompanying me shopping. I am very happy today."
Mo Lian: "!!!"
Knowing all the truth, she held back her laughter as she typed and sent it.
Pitiful but not cute: "Master, Professor Gu was scammed, it really made me laugh to death."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Changsheng received the news and sighed, "What are you laughing at? Aren't you also involved?"
[Poor but not cute: I wear a mask, no one can recognize me]
[Also, I am not that guy's girlfriend, please don't misunderstand me, we are just a doctor-patient relationship]
May my life be peaceful every year: "I know."
[Poor but not cute: Master, do you have a girlfriend? ]
May my life be peaceful every year: "Not yet, and not necessarily in the future."
Mo Lian frowned when she heard this, "Master, why do you say that?"
"Did you get hurt so badly three years ago that you couldn't even have a girlfriend?"
"I promise, I won't laugh at you."
It took a long time after Mo Lian sent the message before the other party replied.
[May my life be peaceful forever: Heart disease, can't be angry, you better stop talking]
"It's just a heart attack. It's not likely that you'll end up in despair and alone for the rest of your life, right?" She said this, but only replied with an "Oh".
She calmed down, but Mr. Gu was furious!Chapter 105 Mr. Gu's True Identity
Chapter 105 Mr. Gu's True Identity
"Mr. Gu, something happened!"
Gu Changsheng had just finished washing up when he heard the voice of the guard outside the door.
He straightened his bathrobe and opened the door.
Outside the door, the young guard was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, so he asked, "What happened to Grandpa?"
"Reporting to Mr. Gu, General Gu just received a phone call and was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted."
"Did you call the doctor?"
"Doctor Joe is treating the general."
"Let's go to Yizhen Garden."
Gu Changsheng went to see Old Man Gu without even changing his clothes.
The guard saw this and said nothing.
General Gu is old, and any disturbance in his life is a big deal.
Even the top leader of the Dragon Country was very concerned about his health. I don't know who made him so angry that he vomited blood.
The two walked very quickly all the way, and it was only after more than ten minutes that they arrived at Yizheng Garden.
Gu Changsheng stepped over the high threshold and walked into the bedroom.
Huang Huali walked to the bedside, where the doctor was giving Mr. Gu an intravenous injection.
"Old general, you need to change your temper. What could be worthy of your being so angry?" The young man in casual clothes was lecturing while writing a medical record.
"Do you know how important your health is to the Dragon Nation?"
"Now, the only person who came down from the battlefield besides you is Elder Zhou. I came here to take care of your health. If you continue to degrade yourself like this, I will sue you to Elder Zhou."
The old man sighed heavily, "Don't tell Mr. Zhou about this little thing, he is very busy every day."
Doctor Qiao smiled, "Then you must follow the doctor's advice and don't do this again."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Hearing footsteps, they looked up.
Seeing Gu Changsheng walk into the bedroom, Doctor Qiao closed the medical record and stood up. "General Gu came back from the battlefield with a lot of old injuries. He needs to be carefully cared for."
"Eat light meals, and most importantly, don't get angry."
"As a younger generation, you should spend more time with the elderly when you have nothing to do."
After Doctor Qiao gave his instructions, Gu Changsheng nodded, "Okay, I understand."
"This bottle of medicine takes a long time to inject. I'll be over in half an hour. If you have anything to say, talk first."
Doctor Qiao picked up the medicine box and left. The air in the room froze instantly.
The guard walked out silently, closed the door, and stood guard outside the corridor.
In the bedroom.
Gu Changsheng stood beside the bed, silent.
The old man had a complicated look in his eyes and didn't say anything.
After a long stalemate, Gu Changsheng said in a serious tone, "Comrade Lin Zhanbei, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"As the regiment commander, company commander, team leader, or squad leader, what's your identity when you talk to me now?" The old man stared.
"What do you think?"
"Then I will only talk to squad leader Gu."
"Tell me, why are you angry?"
"The Chu family called. My sister said that there was a rumor online that you were dating her granddaughter. To avoid trouble, the two families should find a time to get together and finalize the marriage."
"You're so angry that you're vomiting blood over such a small matter. You're really going backwards as you grow older." Gu Changsheng sat on the bed with a blank expression. "Leave this matter to me. You don't have to worry about it."
"But..."
"No buts, you have to obey orders."
"Yes, squad leader."
Mr. Gu saluted.
"But, squad leader, I have something else to report. Please give me a chance to explain the truth."
Gu Changsheng agreed, "You say."
"My sister must have suspected my identity before, so she secretly took my hair for testing. You know the result."
"She threatened you?"
"Yes, she thought I was greedy and vain, and that I pretended to be Gu Yizhen for the Gu family inheritance and military merit."
"What does she want?"
"Let me find a way to transfer some of the Gu family's properties and shares in the Imperial Capital Nanshan Mental Hospital to her children."
"Or take a step back and let Chu Ling marry in and become a family."
When the old man said this, his eyes turned red with anger again and he grabbed Gu Changsheng's hand.
"Captain Gu, you saved my life back then. I was the only one left alive in the entire regiment."
"My face was burned by the explosives, and I had the token you left on me. They thought I was Gu Yizhen, but I was too sad at the time to refute it."
"Later, I thought, I want to live on using your identity."
"By doing this, it's as if Captain Gu is really still alive. I want to live with your glory and let everyone remember you."
"I don't want your name to be engraved on a cold monument."
"I am also willing to take care of your family, better than I did when you were here."
"But I didn't expect that you not only have no family, but also have so much property."
"At that time, I was thinking that I would help you guard the family property, and when I was a hundred years old, I could adopt a child to continue the Gu family's incense. I didn't expect that you would come back again."
"Now, I am an octogenarian, and you are still exactly the same as the young commander Gu that I first met."
When the past was brought up again, Gu Changsheng's eyes turned red.
"Why are you saying this?"
"I will never die, nor will I grow old, but the people around me are dying one by one. You have experienced that feeling before."
"If you want to spend more of my life with me, take good care of yourself."
"Chu family, I won't be too harsh."
"But this imperial capital can no longer accommodate them. Zhan Bei, over the years, I have given them enough help, both openly and covertly, but human greed is unsatisfactory."
"If we continue like this, there will only be more trouble."
"Remember, no matter whether you are Gu Yizhen or Lin Zhanbei, you are both upright heroes. You should not be threatened by others, nor are you afraid of being threatened by others."
"Hey~"
The old man looked helpless, "You are right, I don't care about this matter anymore."
"From now on, take away all your cell phones and don't let me see them. As for Gu Yuan, tell them that the Chu family is not allowed to come here again."
"I don't owe them anything. Even if they go begging on the streets in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
Gu Changsheng tucked the quilt in for him, took his phone, and stood up. "I feel relieved when you say that. Have a good rest. I'll ask Xiao Li to unplug your phone and internet cables later."
"Captain Gu, are you serious?" Old Man Gu's eyes widened.
Gu Changsheng curved his lips and said, "I will decide whether to return the phone and mobile phone to you after I have dealt with these matters. Before you recover, you must cooperate with Dr. Qiao's treatment."
After giving the instructions, he turned and walked out the door, just in time to see Mo Lian walking slowly towards him on the other side of the winding corridor.
The girl was wearing a light green casual jacket and black overalls. She was walking towards him little by little against the light of the setting sun, as if she had passed through time and space and walked in front of him.
Gu Changsheng came back to his senses, "Why are you here?"
"It was time for dinner, but I didn't see Grandpa Gu. I heard that he had fainted, so I came to check on him." Mo Lian looked into the door.
When Gu Changsheng saw her like this, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and the annoyance in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Go to the room to see Grandpa first. I'll have someone bring the food over."
Chapter 106 Mo Lian, an experimental subject?
Chapter 106 Mo Lian, an experimental subject?
After removing the needle, Mr. Gu came to the small restaurant in the side room and saw a table of vegetarian dishes.
"Why don't you give me any meat?"
Mo Lian, who was sitting at the table, nodded and said, "Grandpa is right. Someone is too stingy and doesn't even give us meat. He is simply a miser."
"The girl is right."
"Grandpa, I'm still growing."
Mo Lian looked so pitiful that she almost melted the old man's heart.
"I'll call the kitchen and ask them to add more food, do you want to..."
Lin Zhanbei subconsciously reached into his pocket, only to realize belatedly that his cell phone had been confiscated by Gu Changsheng.
"this..."
"Girl, lend me your phone."
Mo Lian slid open the screen of his phone and handed it over.
Lin Zhanbei dialed the kitchen phone number skillfully.
"Hello, hello, this is..."
"It's me."
"General Gu?"
"Yes, give me some meat dishes."
As he said that, he looked at Mo Lian, "Little girl, tell grandpa, what do you want to eat?"
Mo Lian was about to order food when she heard the other end of the line say in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, General Gu, Young Master Gu and Doctor Qiao have said that there will be no meat dishes for the next half month."
"knew."
Lin Zhanbei hung up the phone, looking embarrassed, "Little girl, it's all Grandpa's fault that he got you into trouble."
Mo Lian pursed her lips, "I don't know who is the grandfather."
"Why is Gu Changsheng so overbearing?"
"Grandchildren are now stronger than grandfathers. There's nothing we can do about it."
Lin Zhanbei's words made Mo Lian burst out laughing.
When Gu Changsheng came back from the phone call, he heard the two of them chirping at each other.
He pretended not to hear, walked to the table, opened the wooden barrel containing rice, and served a bowl of white rice to each of them.
"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping."
"Have a meal."
"Old antique." Mo Lian rolled his eyes at him.
"Ignore him." Lin Zhanbei picked up the serving chopsticks and served her some food. "Eat more. You're still growing."
"How pitiful! Following someone, you can't even get any meat."
Gu Changsheng paused in picking up the food and looked up at the two of them.
The old man and the young man didn't say anything. They just lowered their heads and ate their food. Even though there was no meat, they didn't eat less.
…
At night, Lotus Pavilion.
As soon as Mo Lian entered the door, he smelled a strong aroma of meat.
It's roast duck.
Following the scent, I saw a food box on the wooden table in the living room.
Her eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly and opened the lid.
The food box is divided into three layers. The first layer is a thin wrap.
The second layer is the sliced roast duck.
The third layer has various sauces and side dishes.
"Ding~"
The phone vibrates, and there is an additional message.
Mo Lian rolled up a pancake and put it in her mouth before clicking on the green bubble.
[Professor Gu: I'll give you some extra food. Eat more and grow stronger.]
she:"..."
Pitiable but not cute: "Thank you for the gift, old antique."
The other party didn't reply to her message, and she didn't plan to continue the conversation. She turned around and took several photos of the roast duck and sent them to the "May you live a peaceful life forever" chat box.
On the other side, Gu Changsheng, who was drinking tea with Lin Zhanbei, felt his cell phone vibrate.
"Captain Gu has made great progress. Someone is sending you messages even so late at night." Lin Zhanbei teased.
"It's Mo Lian."
Gu Changsheng opened the message box, and pictures of beautified roast duck came into view.
[Poor but not cute: Master, I heard that Imperial Peking Roast Duck is good. If I have time, I will treat you to it.]
He raised the corners of his lips and quickly typed out a string of words with his fingertips.
"I still owe Professor Gu tens of millions of dollars. It will take me 250 years of working to pay it off. Do you have money to treat us?"
[Poor but not cute: ...]
May you live forever: "I'm going to the Taoist Academy tomorrow, so you can eat whatever you want."
Perhaps because she was hit hard, Mo Lian just replied to him with "Thank you, God" and then calmed down.
On the side, Lin Zhanbei noticed that Gu Changsheng frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
If people live long enough, they can let go of many things, especially Gu Changsheng. After all these years of getting along with him, he rarely saw him show his emotions.
And at this moment, it was clearly an unconscious frown.
While making him curious...
Also a little worried.
After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to have a frank talk.
"Changsheng, have you ever thought about a question?"
"Um?"
Gu Changsheng put down his phone.
The screen was turned off, and Lin Zhanbei couldn't see anything, so he had to ask directly.
"Based on my understanding of you, I can see that you have special feelings for Mo Lian."
"At first, I thought you were just responsible for a patient. Seeing that she was alone and young, I felt pity for her."
"But what happened later was not what I expected."
"You deliberately lured Mo Lian into the Taoist Academy under the identity of the Chosen One Gu Sui'an."
"Master Xuan wanted to accept Mo Lian as his disciple, but you interfered and made it difficult for him to accept a disciple."
"And... this time, you said to the leaders of the Weird Management Congregation in the Lost City Ghost Story that Mo Lian was a patient and was only nineteen years old."
"This is by no means accidental. Tell me, what are you planning?"
Gu Changsheng was silent for a long time before he said, "I am doing this for her own good."
"Given her personality, she may not appreciate what you said. It's for her own good." Lin Zhanbei said.
"I know." Gu Changsheng lowered his long, thick, black eyelashes.
The tea water was boiling, and the mist was curling up, blurring his expression.
"Zhan Bei, I have been secretly investigating Mo Lian's affairs."
"There are some things I have to hide."
"Do you remember the last time Mo Lian and I were assassinated?"
"Those people's target is Mo Lian."
At this point, his eyes darkened, "The people from the Beautiful Country were expelled before they even entered the border."
"In the Dragon Kingdom, the spies from the small Japanese country are being watched too closely and dare not show up."
"There are still some countries that don't have the strength to take action."
"Guess where these people who appear out of nowhere come from?"
Lin Zhanbei was startled, "Any clues?"
Gu Changsheng nodded, "Yes."
He took out a photo. In the photo, a man's upper body was stripped naked, revealing a blood-red red spider lily totem on his back.
"Is this the Eternal Life Temple of the evil cult?" Lin Zhanbei stood up from his wheelchair in shock. "Why would they target Mo Lian?"
Gu Changsheng put the photo back into his pocket, "Because, Mo Lian is very likely a test subject."
After he brought Mo Lian back to the mental hospital, he discovered that her arms, legs, and even her back were covered with needle marks, and she had even undergone surgery.
It took him three years of treatment for the scars to disappear.
"Why don't you let Mr. Zhou investigate?" Lin Zhanbei asked.
Gu Changsheng stood up, walked slowly to the pavilion, and looked at the lonely moon in the sky.
"Zhan Bei, no one knows better than me how cruel the people in the Palace of Eternal Life are."
"This evil cult has existed for at least a hundred years. They have no humanity and are capable of anything."
"It may be fate that Mo Lian escaped from the Palace of Eternal Life and met me again."
"My amnesia is most likely related to the Palace of Eternal Life, so I must protect her and make her stronger so that she can survive the repeated plots."
Lin Zhanbei gradually calmed down, "I understand."
"No wonder you didn't let Mo Lian use the unlimited credit card given by Mr. Zhou, and you also kept Xuan Lingzi hanging."
"You want the Dragon Kingdom to be indebted to Mo Lian so that you can gain greater protection."
"As for Xuan Lingzi, he has the entire Taoism behind him, which is indeed intimidating."
"You use the Dragon Nation to control the Palace of Eternal Life, and you use Taoism to control the upper echelons of the Dragon Nation. In fact, you don't trust anyone, and you use everyone."
Gu Changsheng retracted his gaze, turned around, and said in a calm tone, "Zhan Bei, I believe in Mr. Zhou, but how many years can he live?"
"Human hearts are too greedy. I have witnessed too many rise and fall in history. Under the ruthless crushing of the gears of heaven, everyone will become a puppet driven by fate and will be unable to escape." He looked distant.
At that moment, Lin Zhanbei felt that such a Gu Changsheng was out of his reach.Chapter 107 The stingy guy is willing to pluck feathers
Chapter 107 The stingy guy is willing to pluck feathers
It was dawn.
The cell phone, three meters away from the bed, rang several times.
Mo Lian was woken up.
He stood up and walked over to the dressing table, slumped in the chair, and unlocked the screen with sleepy eyes.
[May my life be peaceful forever: @The latest breaking news, Chu Jiandong, a wealthy businessman in the capital, went bankrupt overnight, just because his daughter offended a big boss in the Beijing circle]
she:"..."
"Master, you stayed up so early in the morning just to gossip with me about this?"
Mo Lian opened the link homepage.
Several trending searches were asking who Chu Jiandong's daughter was.
She clicked on it and took a look, and immediately became interested.
#Xiao Lingdang, a beauty blogger with millions of fans, is actually the eldest daughter of Chu Jiandong, a wealthy businessman in the capital! #
#Breaking news! It is said that Xiao Lingdang scammed the girlfriend of the prince of Dijing, causing her father's company to be acquired overnight. #
#Shocked! Photos of the girlfriend of the Imperial Prince of Beijing are exposed! #
Mo Lian was curious, so he clicked on it and was shocked.
"I didn't expect that this big pot would fall on me in the end?"
I don't know who leaked the photo.
In the picture, the sunset light shines on the busy street. A black armored vehicle is parked on the side of the road. In front of the car door stands a girl wearing a pink plush bunny costume.
Just from a back view, Mo Lian knew that he was photographed on the day he was assassinated.
The comment section below is even more heated.
"The girl has a great figure, and I estimate she's over 1.7 meters tall. She definitely can't be Xiao Lingdang!"
"Xiao Lingdang is only 1.65 meters tall. My brother has driven this car before. He is no taller than 1.70 meters. He can't reach the top of the door. It's confirmed that he is trying to scam the prince of Dijing."
"Ahhhh... Is it because his girlfriend is angry that the prince is so angry that he buys out the Chu family company for her?"
"The weather is getting cold, the Chu family should go bankrupt!"
"…"
Mo Lian frowned, opened the green bubble, sent a bunch of screenshots, and questioned Gu Changsheng.
Pitiful but not cute: "If Professor Gu doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, you will be admitted to the VIP ward today!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng directly sent a transfer message.
[Transfer amount:]
Mo Lian clicked it and found that she had not bound her ID card.
After binding, the anger is almost gone.
Gu Changsheng sent another message at a very timely moment.
[Professor Gu: Are you still angry?]
Pitiable but not cute: "Do you think I am someone who can be bribed with money?"
[Transfer amount:]
Pitiable but not cute: "I'm still a little angry, just a little."
[Professor Gu: Forget it, return the money and I will go to the hospital myself]
Pitiful but not cute: "Actually, I'm not such a stingy person. I'll let you go."
[Professor Gu: If you are not angry, get up, wash up, and come over for breakfast. I will take you to school later.]
Poor but not cute: "Okay Professor Gu, I'll be there right away!"
…
The power of money allowed Mo Lian to quickly get himself ready.
As soon as I rushed out the door, I saw a cute little white dog holding a letter.
Mo Lian took the letter from its mouth and opened it casually. It read...
[A guide dog specially prepared for you. Tell Dabai where you want to go]
She put the letter aside on a shelf and looked at the little white dog that could barely walk.
"Dabai, go find the old antique."
"Woof woof woof!"
"To find Gu Changsheng?"
"Woof~"
"Go find Professor Gu."
This time Dabai understood and turned around and ran away.
Four short legs flew out, leaving afterimages, and at every corner they stopped and looked back at her.
When Mo Lian arrived at the courtyard of Changshengju, Gu Changsheng just walked out of the door.
The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a high-end black casual suit, which made him look tall, with broad shoulders, a thin waist and straight legs.
The gold-rimmed glasses reflected the gleaming light of the morning sun, adding a hint of warmth to the stern face.
"You're a scumbag, a human being in a bad shape." Mo Lian rolled his eyes at him.
Gu Changsheng acted as if he didn't hear anything. He walked to the bamboo pavilion, opened the lunch box, and took out snacks and milk.
"It's my first day at the Taoist Academy. It's not good to be late. Come over for dinner."
"oh."
In consideration of the transfer of 200,000 yuan, Mo Lian put aside her past grudges and sat next to him, eating the sandwich in front of her.
"That photo was posted by someone else," Gu Changsheng explained. "By the time I saw it, it was already trending on the search list."
"I'll call someone to evacuate later, and no one will find you."
"Okay." Mo Lian responded vaguely.
After breakfast, the two took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
If the garages on both sides hadn't been full of cars, Mo Lian would have thought she had come to a hotel with quaint and magnificent decoration.
Under the warm lights, solid wood carved partitions separate various types of low-key and luxurious black cars.
Directly opposite the exit, there is a screen more than ten meters high, with a lifelike fire unicorn inlaid with gold threads.
Where is the parking lot? If you say it is a car show, Mo Lian would believe it.
Gu Changsheng walked to a black sedan and opened the passenger door. "Get in."
Mo Lian ran over and found the car looked familiar. When the car drove out onto the road, she remembered that Lu Xiaoyi had also driven this car when she was in the Lost City dungeon.
It is said that even if you sell him and his father, they still can't afford it.
While waiting for the red light on the road, Gu Changsheng took out a gift box from the armrest box and handed it to her, "A gift for the beginning of school."
"What is it?" Mo Lian asked.
"See for yourself."
"oh."
Mo Lian opened the gift box and a golden watch came into view. Inside the watch, there were many complete small diamonds, which were almost blinding.
It looked like it was much more expensive than the watch she got from completing a mission in the dungeon.
There is also a pink bank card under the gift box.
"Gu Changsheng, are you possessed by the God of Wealth? That's why you're giving me money and gifts?" Mo Lian looked as if he suspected he had some conspiracy.
Gu Changsheng glanced at her calmly, stepped on the accelerator, and made her swallow back the next words.
He kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and explained while driving, "A watch is for you to see the time."
"You will inevitably need to spend money at school in the future. Use this credit card and don't touch Mr. Zhou's."
"On the other hand, some of your classmates are either rich or noble, and they are afraid that you will feel inferior."
Mo Lian curled her lips and looked down at the pink rabbit on the credit card, which had a line of small gold words on it.
Limited edition for Changsheng, presented to Mo Lian.
"How much is the amount?"
"Use as much as you want, no limit."
"I didn't expect that you, a stingy miser, have evolved perfectly." Mo Lian was surprised.
Gu Changsheng curved his lips and asked, "What is that?"
"Of course, a stingy person who is willing to strip everyone of their wealth!"
He was about to say something when a woman in a white windbreaker and disheveled hair suddenly jumped out in front of the car.
"Chi——"
Gu Changsheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stepped on the brakes, quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid her, and stopped on the side of the road.
The car stopped and Mo Lian came to his senses.
"I was so scared that I thought I had encountered a female ghost."
At this time, a woman who was almost as evil as a female ghost ran to the passenger seat, and after seeing Mo Lian, she started banging on the glass window frantically.
"Brother Changsheng, it's because of her that you are so cruel to me, right?" The woman looked at Mo Lian as if she was looking at a third party.
Gu Changsheng rolled down the window half an inch and said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to leave the Imperial Capital and go begging with your gambling brother, you'd better disappear from my sight immediately."
"Those tricks you used won't work on me. And I know exactly what you did in the past."
"A woman like you who does whatever it takes is worthy of my Gu family?"
"My grandfather will no longer care about you. I advise you to take care of yourself."
These few words made the woman's face turn pale instantly, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Gu Changsheng didn't even bother to look at the man and drove away.
Mo Lian only then remembered that the woman with her makeup smudged by tears seemed to be the heroine who dominated the hot searches that morning, Chu Ling.Chapter 108: Wendao Academy
Chapter 108: Wendao Academy
The Taoist Academy was built on Beiling Mountain on the border of the Imperial Capital.
As soon as Gu Changsheng's car arrived at the foot of the mountain, the security personnel immediately came out, saluted, and let him pass.
"Just put me down the mountain." Mo Lian looked out the window at the forest with falling leaves.
"The Taoist Academy covers a large area. I'm afraid you'll get lost. I'll take you up there and leave."
"Professor Gu knows the way?"
"Well, I came here once after it was built."
"Then have you seen Gu Sui'an?" Mo Lian's words made Gu Changsheng freeze.
"Ask him what?"
"I'm just curious about what he looks like."
"I don't have three heads and six arms, so I'm no different from a normal person."
Mo Lian: "…"
…
Gu Changsheng said that the academy was very big, but Mo Lian didn't expect it to be that big!
Parking halfway up the mountain.
She stood on the stone steps and looked up. She saw the ancient golden-roofed hall coming into view, and the ancient pavilions stacked up to the top of the mountain.
On the high pavilion, there is a large black gold plaque hanging, and four large golden characters are shining in the sun. The handwriting is peaceful but also reveals a sharp and unrestrained tone.
[Wendao Academy]
There are also golden characters engraved on the pillars on both sides.
left.
[Calculate the heavens, the earth, and all living beings]
right.
[Saving others, saving the world, and saving yourself]
"This handwriting is so beautiful, it must be written by a great master." Mo Lian exclaimed.
Gu Changsheng stood beside her, turned his head slightly, and caught a glimpse of the shining stars in the girl's eyes.
He somehow couldn't suppress the urge to tease her, "Gu Sui'an invited me to write this."
Mo Lian immediately retracted his gaze and said expressionlessly: "Actually, it's just average."
"There are quite a few students up there. I can follow them to register. You can just pick me up in the evening."
"Okay, go ahead."
Gu Changsheng agreed, and Mo Lian turned around and left without mercy.
The withered yellow leaves flew past and landed all over the ground. The figure of the girl gradually disappeared into the gatehouse.
"Principal Gu, what are you looking at here alone?"
The old man's deep voice came from behind.
Gu Changsheng turned around.
The man was wearing a loose purple Taoist robe with golden dragon and crane patterns, and his gray hair was neatly covered by a five-lotus crown.
He has white eyebrows and beard, and looks like he has profound Taoist knowledge.
"Master Xuan's outfit today should be enough to overpower those students."
Xuan Lingzi stroked his beard and smiled, "Maybe later, those little guys will be more surprised to see you, the young commander Gu who has completed 18 ghost story copies, than to see an old man like me."
"It's getting late, we should go up the mountain."
"Let's go."
The two turned and walked towards another road, scanned their faces to pass the access control, and took the elevator directly to the top of the mountain.
However, on the other side.
Before Mo Lian arrived at the registration point, he was blindfolded.
"Sister Mo Lian, guess who I am?"
"If it weren't for Lina, you would have been stepped on by me right now."
"Have you noticed me a long time ago?" The girl let go of her hand.
Mo Lian turned to look at her, "Why did you come to Longguodao College?"
"Mr. Zhou gave us five places for free. After all, I am also the chosen one, so I came here." Lina said.
"I heard that Kimir from the Great Bear Country is here too, but he doesn't speak the Dragon Country language well, so he can only follow the translator."
"Last time, ten countries cleared the Lost City dungeon, shocking the entire Blue Planet."
She stared at Mo Lian without blinking, her eyes excited, "I'm lucky. I met you from the very beginning, and luckily got a four-star clearance."
"Kimmel and Kenston came halfway and could only get three stars."
"The remaining five people were either injured or collapsed. If it weren't for Sister Mo Lian leading us through the dungeon, they might not have been able to hold on for even two days."
At this point, Lina leaned close to Mo Lian's ear in a mysterious voice, "I heard that the Chosen One from the Japanese country finally got out of the trap, and he cleared the level ahead of time without waiting to find clues."
"You don't know. When I went back to watch the replay video, Yamano Umekawa's face was twisted with anger. I guess he was not convinced."
"The Japanese country said that you were just lucky. If Yamano Umekawa hadn't been trapped, the five-star clearance would have been theirs."
"Don't pay any attention to this clown." Mo Lian patted her head, changed the subject, and praised her: "You speak the Longguo dialect well."
"There are a lot of Dragon people near my home, and I have been able to speak it since I was a child." Lina looked proud.
Mo Lian held her and walked upstairs, "Since we are in Dragon Country, I will treat you to dinner tonight."
"Okay, then let Sister Mo Lian pay for it."
Just as they took a few steps, people around them gradually gathered around them. They wanted to get closer, but didn't dare.
"Ahhhh…I saw Miss Mo Lian alive. I'm so happy."
"I want to go up and ask for an autograph. I wonder if Miss Mo Lian will hit me?"
"That shouldn't be the case? We're not weird!"
Many people are ready to make a move.
A young girl mustered up her courage and ran forward with a notebook.
"Sister Mo Lian, can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Okay." Mo Lian took the pen and wrote down the name in a very elegant manner.
When the others saw this, they immediately rushed to Mo Lian and drowned her and Lina in the crowd.
"Tsk, a bunch of ignorant bumpkins." Several people in the distance saw this scene and looked down on them.
The young man in the lead snorted, "What are you looking at? Let's go."
"Brother Liu, I heard that the master you want to worship has taken a fancy to Mo Lian. With her around, where is the room for you?"
"So what? Elder Zhou said that in the Wendao Academy, we must abide by the rules just like in the Rules of Weird Stories. If you dare to cause trouble, you will not die, but you will definitely be expelled."
"I heard that Young Marshal Gu Sui'an will also be here today. Can Brother Liu help me get an autograph?"
The young man called Brother Liu frowned, "Do you think it's so easy to get Marshal Gu's autograph?"
"He is under the protection of Mr. Zhou. With my status, I don't even know what he looks like."
"However, we are in the same college now, so maybe we can meet someday. Then I will ask for an autographed photo for each of you."
Everyone was delighted, "Thank you, Brother Liu."
At this time, three ethereal and distant bells rang from the top floor of the Taoist Academy.
A man's low, mellow, magnetic voice was broadcast through the loudspeaker.
"Congratulations to all the students who have passed the assessment and are here at the Daoda Academy. I am your principal, Gu Sui'an."
"We will be living here for a long time. I hope you can master the Dao as soon as possible so that you can better protect our homeland when needed."
"As you know, the strange rules have been escalating in recent years, and the road ahead is bound to be bumpy."
"The north is freezing cold, and some places are occupied by strange things. Tens of millions of compatriots have died in disasters caused by strange things."
"Even worse, many small countries have disappeared from the blue planet."
"We learn Taoism not only to strengthen ourselves, but also to protect the country and save all living beings."
Mo Lian, who was busy signing, stopped writing when he heard these words.
This was her first time, not in Gu Sui'an's memorial video, nor in the rule-based weird story copy, but truly, in reality...
