Chapter 96 Lord God?

Yue Yiyue didn't even know how he got back.

All she knew was that she vomited everything out of her stomach, until all that was left was sour water with a strange bitter taste.

She hugged the trash can with red eyes, her eyes glistening with a barely perceptible fear.

Gu Nanqiu handed the warm water to Yue Yiyue, looking at him with concern: "Yiyue, why are you like this at the market?"

What happened?

Yue Yiyue struggled to turn over, took a sip of water, and rinsed his mouth: "I guess... I'm sick?"

"I think I need to find a forensic pathologist."

“Yes…forensic doctor.” Yue Yiyue tugged at Gu Nanqiu’s sleeve. “Could you please give me my phone? I’m sick…I need medical treatment…”

"How could this happen so suddenly?" Yue Yiyue muttered to himself. "Thank goodness, thank goodness I was fine during the Spring Festival, otherwise I would have ruined everyone's good mood for the New Year."

She sat there, still affected by those things, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing.

Looking at Yue Yiyue's appearance, Gu Nanqiu also felt her stomach churning.

She reached out and touched Yue Yiyue's hair: "Yiyue, are you tired? Let's rest for a bit. Your phone is in the room. I'll carry you inside to rest, and then I'll give you your medicine, okay?"

"Will it make you feel better after drinking it?" Yue Yiyue rubbed his slightly cold hands, subconsciously telling her that this person was the most reliable and would never, ever harm her.

“If we’re talking about a complete cure, we might need a few other things.” Gu Nanqiu picked up Yue Yiyue and steadily walked towards the room: “But this will make you feel a little more comfortable now.”

Yue Yiyue nodded obediently: "Okay... I believe you. I know you would never hurt me."

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, but she still tried to concentrate.

She still has information to send out, so she can't rest.

No sooner had Gu Nanqiu left than Yue Yiyue immediately got up and picked up his phone.

She tried her best to compose her response.

But when I looked down, I saw the letters and symbols on the keyboard wriggling like earthworms, crawling and crawling inside the phone.

Yue Yiyue rubbed his eyes. He wasn't seeing things. Was it because of his low sanity?

Or has she gone mad?

Why is she the only one who sensed something was wrong?

Gu Nanqiu clearly also returned from City A.

Could it be because Gu Nanqiu is also a monster in human skin?

Thinking of this, Yue Yiyue bitterly despised himself.

Gu Nanqiu has been so good to me, and I'm still doubting her identity.

So what if it's a monster?

I need Gu Nanqiu's help later.

The house is safe, and Gu Nanqiu will not harm her.

Her situation is much better than that of the netizen.

right.

Another spasm ran through Yue Yiyue's stomach. He felt like his stomach was a garbage dump, filled with the remains of many monsters.

Unfortunately, she had just vomited up all those severed limbs.

Footsteps grew closer outside the room, and Gu Nanqiu entered carrying a bowl of water that had turned a rusty reddish-brown color.

The water smelled unusually fragrant, but I couldn't quite describe the taste.

Just smelling this aroma made Yue Yiyue feel soothed.

My throat started to feel tight.

This smells so good, this... she needs it.

Yue Yiyue stared intently at the water in Gu Nanqiu's hand. She swallowed hard, controlling herself from lunging at him.

The water was brought to Yue Yiyue's lips.

At this moment, Yue Yiyue didn't feel like a human being; she felt more like a dog waiting for its master's command.

In a daze, she seemed to see herself in the mirror with big dog ears.

"Drink it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Yiyue felt like someone who had been thirsty in the desert had finally found a spring of sweet water.

The exceptionally sweet water slid down my throat and finally into my empty stomach, calming the churning stomach acid.

Because he drank too quickly, water spilled from his mouth, which Gu Nanqiu wiped away with a handkerchief: "Good boy, take your time—"

"You can have plenty if you want to."

“Nanqiu…Mom…nan…” The appearance of the person in front of Yue Yiyue began to change. The long knife mark on his wrist turned into a long thin line, one end on Gu Nanqiu’s wrist and the other end on his chest.

Yue Yiyue quickly understood what this thing was. She touched Gu Nanqiu's wrist, and the guilt in her eyes almost materialized and overflowed.

“You’ll be fine once you wake up.” Gu Nanqiu’s tone was steady and persuasive: “You know, my body is like most people’s; it heals very quickly.”

"Yi Yue, what were you going to do when I came in?"

Do you need my help?

Yue Yiyue glanced at her phone, then at Gu Nanqiu. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell Gu Nanqiu that she should send a message to that online friend, to tell her that the world had truly changed.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt something wriggling and crawling inside.

Once she opens her mouth, that thing will crawl out of her body.

What exactly is it?

This feeling is both familiar and strange.

In the end, Yue Yiyue simply took a pen and paper and wrote, stroke by stroke: "This is something only I can do. Nanqiu, will I get better?"

"It will get better." Gu Nanqiu said with certainty, touching Yue Yiyue's hand: "Look, you have properly expelled all the filth."

"That leap was impressive."

————

Yue Yiyue didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, Gu Nanqiu was sleeping next to him, breathing steadily.

The heavy curtains blocked out the outside, and Yue Yiyue couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

The younger sister was squatting obediently in the corner. When she saw Yue Yiyue wake up, she pointed to the phone that had fallen to the side and said, "You have to do this now."

With his phone battery almost depleted, Yue Yiyue took out a charging cable from the bedside table drawer.

I swiped my phone, and there were my own replies to the past.

Hello, fellow netizen. When you see this message, I'm facing the same predicament as you, but the difference is that I've obtained medicine that can alleviate this pain. If you'd like, I'll sell it to you, and I'll bring it to you the day after tomorrow.

medicine?

sell?

Who touched her phone?

Only he and Gu Nanqiu were in the room...

Gu Nanqiu had no need to use his own phone to send this message.

Could it be that she sent it while she was not thinking clearly?

This is like a pit, blatantly laid out, waiting for Yue Yiyue to jump in.

What will Gu Nanqiu think when he sees this message?

There was a rustling sound coming from the bed, and Gu Nanqiu's sleepy voice said, "Yi Yue...? Why are you awake so early?"

Yue Yiyue didn't know how to put it, but Gu Nanqiu in front of her had also changed.

Unlike before.

Huge tentacles danced behind her; she… no, it should be said that it was Him.

He was like a tyrant living in the depths of the ocean in an old novel, with countless tentacles flying out, obscuring his true face.

The entire room was covered in damp watermarks, as if it had been through a downpour.

After standing there for a long time, Yue Yiyue finally realized that this seemingly cool tyrant actually had two round eyes and two cat-ear-like things on top of them.

California octopus?

The creature in front of him was orange-red. Yue Yiyue had seen some popular science articles about this kind of octopus before; it was also known as the Dumbo the Sea.

But that's not entirely true.

Yue Yiyue curiously reached out to touch those familiar little things, but missed.

His eyes blinked, his head moved slightly, and the next second the creature became Gu Nanqiu again.

Yue Yiyue looked at his hand being tightly held by Gu Nanqiu, whose eyes were full of confusion, seemingly not understanding what Yue Yiyue was doing.

"I think I was hallucinating again just now." Yue Yiyue pulled his hand back. "But I feel much better in my stomach."

"But it seems like... well, it's gone from my eyes."

"I feel like I've suddenly gotten better." Yue Yiyue turned to look at his younger sister sitting quietly in the corner, then turned back and nodded firmly: "I'm definitely more than half better."

She touched her wristwatch; the sanity value on it was a stable 57.

It's better than before, no matter what.

As soon as he turned around, Yue Yiyue felt his mind gradually clearing up: "Nan Qiu, did you use my phone?"

"Someone sent a message on my phone using my voice, but I'm sure it wasn't me."

Yue Yiyue unplugged the charger and handed over the phone, saying, "The medicine on it might be referring to you."

Gu Nanqiu seemed surprised that Yue Yiyue would show her this. She looked at Yue Yiyue with some astonishment: "Are you sure?"

"Is this not allowed?"

Gu Nanqiu did not give a clear answer to the question: "If you say it's okay, then it's okay. I should ask you to grant me the right to look at your phone."

There seemed to be something making a sharp cry from the corner: "No!"

"Yes, that's fine. In our relationship, you can look at my phone, and I can look at yours. That's the rule we've always agreed on."

After saying this, Yue Yiyue looked at Gu Nanqiu and gave her a big smile, seemingly very satisfied with what Yue Yiyue had said.

She smiled strangely: "Yes, that's the rule we've always accepted."

The voices that had been screaming "No!" in Yue Yiyue's ears disappeared completely.

Gu Nanqiu took Yue Yiyue's phone: "Aren't you afraid I'll question you if you ask that?"

“You won’t.” Yue Yiyue thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly: “The relationship between us doesn’t seem that fragile. I believe you.”

Yiyue, what a good boy...

A soft sigh came from a corner of the room, praising Yue Yiyue.

Yue Yiyue liked this kind of praise very much. She pushed her phone forward, and a new message popped up: "Medicine? Does it work? How can you prove it?"

"I can only trust you now. Can you really get your hands on something so magical?"

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Could you tell me how you felt after eating it? Did you feel particularly nauseous?"

"Don't worry about the money. I can give you as much as you want."

"Of course, if you want me, I can. As long as you can get me out of this hellhole and help me get my really crazy sister back to normal, I'll give you anything."

"If it works out, let's meet at that small company on the seventh floor of xx Road, xx Street the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Messages kept popping up, and Yue Yiyue and Gu Nanqiu looked at the small screen head to head.

"You want her?" Gu Nanqiu seized on the key phrase: "Is she your online girlfriend?"

"A leap?" The voice rose slightly at the end, carrying a hint of incredulous questioning.

"No?" Yue Yiyue was somewhat confused by Gu Nanqiu's reaction: "Shouldn't you have asked me what the medicine is first?"
