Ship of Theseus-04

Gu Qi and Yan Le sat down with Yu Yu in a good manner.

Regardless of whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, Gu Xi and Yan Le feel that they have nothing to fear.That being the case, if you don't want to follow the other party's actions, if you don't, you can have a deeper understanding of Luocheng's current situation.

To be honest, although this motorcycle has been modified, it is obviously lengthened and the space for seating people is increased, but it is a bit too reluctant to accommodate three adults and a child—even if Gu Qi and Yan Le They are all young people who are like bamboo poles, and the girl who starts the car is also slender, but it is really not easy to squeeze all of them into the car.

Seeing those things getting closer, the girl hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!! If you slow down, it will be too late!"

Yan Le simply sat sideways on the back seat of the motorcycle, and then waved to Gu Xi.Gu Qi understood what he meant almost instantly, and sat on Yan Le's lap in the past, while Yan Le wrapped his arms around his waist very naturally to prevent him from falling.

Yuyu was pressed into the arms of the motorcycle girl, sitting in front of her, it was just right.

"Wow, you guys are like this... It's okay, hold on tight, let's go!"

The motorcycle girl looked at their strange but inexplicably harmonious posture, got angry, and rode away amidst the roar of the engine, throwing all those strange things behind her.

Because of the excessive speed of the car, the wind was blowing in the ears, rushing towards the face, pouring into the eyes, mouth and nose.

"Are you survivors? It's really not easy to survive until now! But it's okay, I'll take you back to school now. Don't worry, the school is absolutely safe!"

"No." Yan Le said, "We came from outside Luocheng."

The locomotive that was speeding on the road abruptly turned a huge bend, and then braked to a stop.The motorcycle girl put one foot on the ground, turned her head hard to look at Gu Xi and Yan Le, her voice raised eight degrees.

"What?! Outside?!"

"Is it really outside? But Luo Cheng obviously can't get out at all, and outside there is only those dark fogs that cover everything..."

Yan Le: "That's not fog, but Yin Qi."

"The previous plan is not important anymore, we are here for you."

"We'll take you out."

After the initial surprise, the woman quickly calmed down.Seeing the young man who was not as old as her now put on such a serious look, she couldn't help being a little amused, and raised her hand to rub Yan Le's hair.

It's just that when the hand reached halfway, it was caught by Gu Xi.The young man with beautiful eyebrows turned his head and looked at her, but his pretty face was full of sinister colors.

"It's mine." Gu Qi said softly.

The woman snorted and withdrew her hand.

She is a teacher in Luocheng No. [-] Middle School, and she has to deal with the children's parents on weekdays, and she has met all kinds of people.But these two young boys in front of her were obviously more difficult than everyone she had encountered before, and she even felt that she couldn't see through them at all.

Yan Le patted Gu Xi, beckoning him to let go of him, and then stood up like every time in the past, and acted as the one in charge of external communication between the two.

"I'm Yan Le, and this is Gu Xi, my boyfriend." Yan Le introduced, "As I said before, we came from outside Luo City, and we are celestial masters."

The woman seemed hesitant to speak for a long time, and finally decided not to vomit: "...Brother, let me tell you, this is the era of the rule of law, and we don't want to play tricks."

Both Yan Le and Gu Qi were silent, they just indicated with their eyes the heavy Yin Qi outside Luocheng, and the direction behind them, which should be the direction where the monsters were chasing, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Woman: "Okay! This may not be very scientific! But the celestial master is too—"

Gu Qi didn't have the patience and temper that Yan Le had. He raised his arm flat, and the silver-white right gun fell into his hand, and then the young man pulled the trigger without blinking an eye.

Amidst the bang, Gu Xi smiled at her without much warmth: "Is this enough evidence?"

The motorcycle girl swallowed: "..."

Help, her already shaky outlook seems to be collapsing again.

***

The motorcycle girl is called Wu Ce, and she teaches physical education.He is the smallest in stature, but he is not small in strength and courage, which is why he took on the task of picking up people.

"What kind of ghosts, yin qi, and celestial masters you are talking about have never appeared in Luocheng." She recalled, "The first thing was wrong, it was just black clouds lingering over the city. The cloudy sky that has lasted for too long..."

But soon, people discovered that those clouds were getting thicker and thicker day by day, and they hadn't even seen the sun for several months.

Then one day, those clouds actually dispersed—or, to be more precise, those "clouds" were originally a large number of huge bugs, but they happened to have a human-like shape.It has golden compound eyes the size of a watermelon, and the wings behind it are not conventional phosphorous wings, but some kind of hard armor, which makes people doubt whether such wings can really support flight.

"They first feed on human beings, and they refused to stop after they were full. Instead, they began to play with them like a cat catching a mouse. Those monsters with various hands and faces that you saw before were just made by them. one of the toys.”

Even if he had a good temper like a banquet, he couldn't help but feel angry at this moment.And Gu Qi's riotous viciousness was even more undisguised.

"Where are those bugs?" Gu Xi asked, already holding a gun in his hand, it seemed that as soon as Wu Ce mentioned a location, he would immediately go there to fight.

However, Wu Ce shook his head and smiled wryly: "Those bugs are gone."

"This is just the first round of cleaning," she said softly.

Because there was enough "food", those bug-like monsters multiplied very quickly, and soon the whole city was filled, like canned sardines.

At this time, people found out in despair that the whole city was shrouded and closed by an invisible barrier at some point. Nothing can be done except the death that comes.

At this time, the number of survivors in the city has decreased by more than half compared to before.

This continued for more than ten days, and tornadoes began to appear regularly in this city.

Every time the storm appears, the location is random, and the duration is random. After it appears, it will automatically lock on the nearest living body and engulf it, whether it is a human or a monster, all are treated equally.After raging like this for several days, the genius finally became clear again.

Wu Ce and her colleagues began to leave the building to explore tremblingly, but soon discovered a terrible fact.

"In this city, we may be the only ones left."

"Ten teachers, 34 students, the oldest is 12 years old, and the youngest is just 7 years old. From the first grade to the sixth grade."

"After the bugs were cleared by those storms, we also tried to search for survivors throughout the city. It has been more than a few months, and you are the first living people I have seen."

Gu Xi was skeptical: "If it's true what you said..."

"How did you survive with more than 30 children?"

Whether it's the storm, or those bugs, or the monsters with thousands of hands and faces seen before, they are all dangerous things.It is not an easy task to survive from their hands and protect more than 30 young children.

It's not that I look down on it.But ordinary people without any ability, Gu Xi really find it hard to believe that they can do such a thing.

Faced with Gu Xi's questioning, Wu Ce accepted it well.Because this is indeed an indisputable fact.

But they can do such a thing, and naturally they have their own reliance.

"Because the school is special, we call on all survivors to gather at the school." Wu Ce said, "Whether it's a tornado or that monster, they will actively avoid the school."

Although I don't know why this happened, the ten teachers who were trapped in the school at the beginning and survived the previous bug hunting, protected the remaining 34 children, centering on the school. and the base, struggling to survive.

In fact, even they themselves don't know why such persistence seems so hopeless and ridiculous when they see no hope in the future, why should they continue.

But whenever they look at the children around them, they will feel that it seems that they have not reached the most desperate time, as if... they can still try and work harder.

Luocheng is not very big, and the time spent in these conversations is enough for them to come to the gate of the fifth primary school.The location of this elementary school is fantastic, right in the heart of the city.

Ever since Gu Qi arrived here, his eyes have been glued to a certain place.

"What's in the school?" He asked Wu Ce.

He pointed in a certain direction in the school.

"Over there?" Wu Ce thought about it, "It's a small pool in the campus, with lotus flowers planted in it, and a small rockery in the center of the pool... What's wrong?"

"No." Gu Xi said, "It's absolutely impossible for it to be as simple as a pool of lotus flowers or an artificial rockery."

His gaze passed Wu Ce and landed on the school behind her, as if he could see through all the buildings along the way, see the rockery, the pool... and other things that shouldn't be here .

[Abyss of Ghosts]

[? ? ? ]

This is the first time that Gu Qi has seen a completely unknown existence with no rank, no health bar.But it can appear here, which means that that thing has extremely deep malice towards them.

Is the school in front of me really the last pure land and safe place in this city?

"What's wrong?" Yan Le may be the person who knows Gu Xi best in the world, seeing him staring in a certain direction in a daze, she stretched out her hand worriedly, and patted Gu Xi's shoulder.

"Hmm." Gu Qi suddenly regained his senses, but his eyes still drifted over there frequently. The four words [Abyss of Myriad Ghosts] seemed to be deeply rooted in his mind, making it impossible for Gu Xi to control himself not to care.

It was as if something was waving at him from a distance on that side, like a mother calling a child connected with her blood, calling for him to approach.

Gu Qi licked his chapped lips.

"I'll go over there and have a look."

***

dark.

pitch black.

Bottomless.

Closed and isolated, it seems that no matter what method is used, it is impossible to break in, even if the light hits here, it will only be swallowed up.

Right below the school—right below the pool, no one would have expected that there was such a long crack.

The bell tower in the school rang twelve times, the sound penetrated the soil layer far away, and the three pointers on the dial all coincided in one place.

Some kind of existence seemed to be awakened, and after a while, an old voice sounded faintly.

It was a long sigh.

"Is it finally here?"

The pitch-black Shen Yuan seemed to have life, and gradually began to "live". The sound of "swish" echoed in this space without interruption, and a pair of eyes opened from the darkness, and "looked" at Gu Xi and Yan Yue standing at the school gate.Immediately, the owner of the eyes showed a smile full of joy.

"I've been waiting for you for a long, long time."

"—My ghost king."
