Chapter 370 Perhaps Abandoned by the System
Gu Nan's scalp tingles whenever he hears the word "guests".
In order to prevent Jiang Wanying from letting people in without saying a word, Gu Nan rushed over and blocked the door.
Then the visual indoor extension was turned on.
The screen lit up, and a young and handsome man appeared in the center of the screen, but he was not the acquaintance Gu Nan thought he was.
As if he knew someone was watching him from behind the door, he raised his hand and showed the takeaway box in his hand. He smiled and said, "Auntie Gu, Mom made Spanish mackerel dumplings and asked me to bring some over for you and Xiaobei to try."
After returning home, Gu Jin often made things and gave them to neighbors and friends, and often received gifts from neighbors in return. However, Gu Nan was not familiar with the people in the community, so she did not know this person.
But judging from his familiar tone, he was also very clear about the composition of the Gu family, so he must have a good relationship with Gu Jin.
Gu Nan was about to open the door, but Chunyi suddenly stood up, walked to the door, held Gu Nan's shoulders and pushed her behind him.
Gu Nan was caught off guard and only took a quick glance to see his cold eyes.
Junyi scolded him harshly, "Leave now, or I'll be rude to you."
His tone was wrong. Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe also realized that something was wrong. They walked up and pushed Gu Nan to the back.
Gu Nan looked at the three men standing in front of him, feeling complicated for a moment.
Jiang Wanying said jokingly, "What a beautiful scene."
Gu Nan: “…”
The person outside the door didn't leave. Holding the takeaway box, he continued, "I'm just here to deliver something. I'll leave after I'm done."
Chunyi raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands together, and sent a golden demon-suppressing seal out of the door.
"hiss--!"
A strange and sharp hissing sound was heard. Gu Nan subconsciously covered his ears to block out the sound, but it had little effect and his face turned pale.
She finally realized why Junyi didn't let her open the door, because the person standing outside was not a human, but a special agent disguised as a human.
And unlike the last one we encountered, this special one is much stronger.
"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!"
It was enraged by the Demon-Subduing Seal and punched a few times, creating a hole the size of a bowl in the alloy door.
A hand covered in black phosphorus reached through the hole and grabbed around.
Chunyi cast a spell to force them back, protecting the gate, and said to Gu Nan, "Call the Inspector."
Gu Nan subconsciously wanted to contact Qi Yan, but thinking that he had just left and should still be on duty, he called the police.
After hearing Gu Nan's description, the operator, without even hanging up, hurriedly dialed the inspector's internal line: "A high-level special agent is suspected to have appeared in Lifang City. Preliminary diagnosis is that it is a flesh parasite, highly deformed, with scales and claws, and extremely powerful attack power. Requesting support!"
With a beep, Gu Nan could no longer hear anything else and the phone was hung up.
High-level special forces, highly distorted. Gu Nan was frightened by the operator's description.
If Junyi wasn't here today, she and Gu Jin...Gu Jin!
Gu Nan was suddenly startled. With such a commotion in the living room, why hadn't Gu Jin shown up? Could there be more than just the one special creature outside the door in the complex?!
Gu Nan strode towards the master bedroom and pushed the door open.
The room was quiet.
The curtains were all opened, and the sunlight from outside poured in generously, making the room clean and bright.
The imagined horrific parasitic scene did not appear, but there was no one there either.
Gu Nan's gaze fell on the dimly lit bathroom, and he tentatively called out, "Mom?"
Is Gu Jin in there?
If you are there, why don't you come out?
An indescribable fear came over him, and Gu Nan slowly moved towards the bathroom.
Jiang Wanying floated in and checked, then came out and said, "There's no one here, and no signs of fighting or struggling."
After saying that, he checked the wardrobe, under the bed, and even behind the curtains and the belt on the wall outside the window.
"No one." Jiang Wanying also realized the seriousness of the situation and said in a deep voice, "The window is also locked from the inside."
There was not even a trace of activity in the room except for a chair pulled out in front of the dressing table, with a book turned upside down on the table, indicating that she had sat there reading.
Gu Jin mysteriously disappeared from the room without them noticing.
The noise in the living room continued, the banging on the door became more and more urgent, occasionally accompanied by the sound of door parts falling to the ground. Perhaps it would not be long before the special force broke through Junyi's defense.
"We can't stay here anymore." Chun strode in, put one arm around Gu Nan's waist and held him in his arms, then opened the window and jumped down.
Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe followed closely behind. Chunyi used his spiritual power to support the two of them and landed safely.
Lin Jingzhe trotted ahead to lead the way, Chunyi followed behind him holding Gu Nan, and Lin Jingchun fell at the end. The three of them tacitly protected Gu Nan in the middle.
The special forces upstairs were still banging on the door, and the clanging sound was deafening.
But this community, where the slightest movement would attract neighbors to check on it, was now completely deserted, with no one observing. It was as silent as an uninhabited area.
They must have heard it, if they were still alive.
A chill ran up his spine and Gu Nan shuddered violently.
Junyi felt Gu Nan's trembling, and pressed his hot lips against Gu Nan's temples, giving him a soothing kiss.
Even though he was running, his voice was still steady and powerful: "Don't be afraid."
Gu Nan called the system again.
The only response she received was still disappointing silence.
Gu Nan closed his eyes tiredly.
She suddenly thought desperately that she might have been abandoned by the system.
The setting that the three male protagonists have similar numerologies may just be a harmless bug and has no special meaning, but the system used this to disrupt her thoughts and left her behind silently.
She was abandoned by the system in a dangerous and twisted world and could not return home.
She will be like millions of ordinary people who are powerless, longing for life in the morning and wishing for death in the evening, living in a muddle and meaningless life.
It was a life that made her feel despair just thinking about it.
Gu Nan leaned on Chunyi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, his mind calmer than ever before, "Let me down."
Junyi lowered his eyes and glanced at him, "I'm not tired, I'm almost there."
Gu Nan took back the hand on his shoulder and jumped out of his arms forcefully, "I know you are not tired, but I want to run on my own."
"I have you this time, but next time I encounter the special forces, I can't just stand there and wait to die."
Lin Jingzhe's speed was not very fast, but Gu Nan could easily keep up with him.
Junyi didn't say anything else and held Gu Nan's hand tightly.
The eerily silent neighborhood was left behind, getting farther and farther away.
Outside the gate not far away, there was a heavy flow of traffic and people. The purple and blue neon lights kept flashing, and the noise was as unreal as a mirage.
As soon as I stepped out, the sounds and smells that were lost in the community seemed to return to my body.
The shrill horns, the vulgar curses, the choking smell of smoke, the stench of the sewers, everything indicated that they had returned to the human world.
Gu Nan looked back and saw that the residential area where thousands of people had disappeared silently was like a giant beast that ate raw meat and drank blood, with its bloody mouth greedily opened, waiting for new prey.
