Chapter 62: Flower Scroll (End)
After Princess Anyang's voice appeared at the door, the three people in the room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Qiufeng and Xie Songjin looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
Princess Anyang clearly showed that something was wrong. Gu Qiufeng had just been almost stuffed into a coffin by the Flower God, but Princess Anyang came knocking on the door. It was impossible that there was no connection between Princess Anyang and the Flower God. Perhaps as soon as Gu Qiufeng left the house, he would be forced into a coffin by Princess Anyang again.
But how long can they hide in this room in silence?
Princess Anyang has been guarding the door, but there is no guarantee that she won't suddenly break in.
Finally, Gu Qiufeng made a decision: "I will go out first, and you find a way to follow me. If the situation is not right, you can come out and save me."
To be honest, they had no other choice at this point.
Xie Songjin said thoughtfully: "I will go and call my two companions out. There is strength in numbers."
After the discussion, Gu Qiufeng went to open the door first and asked, "Princess, what is the matter with your late night visit?"
Princess Anyang pursed her lips and said softly, "I want to talk to you about the flower viewing banquet."
"The flower viewing banquet will officially start tomorrow, right?" Gu Qiufeng raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything I can do?"
"No." Princess Anyang suddenly said decisively, "I've arrived at the flower viewing banquet early."
Gu Qiufeng asked: "When?"
"Now." Princess Anyang said coldly. She waved her arm and the flowers around her bloomed instantly. Flowers that were not supposed to bloom in this season also opened their petals. All kinds of colors were crowded together, looking very strange.
Gu Qiufeng turned around silently and avoided the sudden attack from Princess Anyang.
Her fingernails suddenly grew and swung towards Gu Qiufeng's neck like sharp weapons.
Gu Qiufeng dodged and stood still, his voice cold: "You royal family angered the gods, so you have to trick many innocent people into being your sacrifices to beg for forgiveness from the flower gods?"
Princess Anyang saw that her attack was fruitless and stopped pursuing. She stood in front of Gu Qiufeng, her greedy eyes seeing everything even through the curtain. She said, "You can't blame us. It was the Flower God who chose you. You should thank the Flower God for his mercy."
Gu Qiufeng suddenly remembered something, and he said, "Does the advent of the Flower God require a living sacrifice?"
Princess Anyang said, "Yes."
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Gu Qiufeng said.
Yu Chi'ang, who was watching from a distance and hiding his body, found that Gu Qiufeng was actually going to leave with Princess Anyang. He was anxious to stop them, but was stopped by several red lines. ♂
At this time, Gu Qiufeng had already left the yard. Yu Chiang angrily asked, "Why are you stopping me? What if something happens to him?"
Xie Songjin said thoughtfully: "Gu Qiufeng doesn't seem to be bewitched. He should have his own plans. Let's continue to follow him and don't act rashly."
Xie Songlan, who was suddenly called by Xie Songjin in the middle of the night, finally reacted at this time. She looked at Xie Songjin fiercely and said, "Xie Songjin, are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Songjin said helplessly: "Let's talk about this later, okay? Let's rescue Gu Qiufeng first, otherwise we won't be able to complete the game."
Duan Chouyu asked: "What do you mean?"
Xie Songjin said: "This is a C-level instance, and there are 48 human players. May I ask, have you received any death reports so far?"
Three or four days have passed and there has not been a single player death in the game.
This doesn't seem to be the nature of a game copy.
"Maybe the new copy has changed the game mechanism and people no longer die. I can't say for sure." Xie Songlan murmured.
"Impossible." Yu Chi'ang said decisively, "Games are in opposition to humans. It is impossible that they don't want humans to die."
Xie Songlan opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was held down by Xie Songjin. Her expression gradually became a little gloomy.
Xie Songjin said: "It's very strange. If you don't want people to die in a copy, then there is no point in setting up this copy."
Duan Chouyu finally said: "This copy... have you noticed that it has an inexplicable emphasis on Mr. Gu."
If we talk about good looks, all of them are good, and we don't have to choose Gu Qiufeng.
Gu Qiufeng also found and collected the fragments of the flower roll easily.
"This copy wants to kill senior." Yu Chiang reacted suddenly, and even some red bloodshot appeared in his eyes.
He could almost understand the meaning of the game doing this.
Gu Qiufeng has special abilities. If he really decides to stand against the game, it will be very difficult for the existence behind the game. So they will think of doing some tricks to kill the senior before the game is updated.
Xie Songjin seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little uncertain for a moment.
Yu Chiang suddenly grabbed Duan Chouyu's arm and said coldly, "Miss Duan, what did you promise me before entering the dungeon? Did you trick the senior into entering the dungeon just to let him die?"
Xie Songjin and Xie Songlan didn't expect that Gu Qiufeng and Duan Chouyu also knew each other.
Xie Songjin gave a bitter smile: "This is true, everyone has their own agenda."
"Hey." Xie Songlan knocked Yu Chiang's hand away. Her slightly curly hair hung in front of her chest and swayed slightly with the movement of her master. "What are you doing? Things haven't been settled yet, and as a human being, do you want to start a quarrel with your companions?"
Xie Songlan blocked Duan Chouyu, and a ball of burning fire appeared in her hand, which she threw on the ground, separating them from Yu Chiang.
"Or do you think one human is more important than more humans? When has the prophet in the game ever betrayed humans?"
Yu Chiang said coldly: "What if she wants to save more people by sacrificing one person?"
Xie Songjin said helplessly: "Do you have to fight among yourselves at this time? If this goes on, we won't even be able to save Gu Qiufeng."
Yu Chi'ang glanced at them and said nothing more. He then quickly headed towards Gu Qiufeng alone.
Xie Songlan then retracted the flames. She looked at Duan Chouyu behind her and snorted, "Just because you have lost your memories and emotions, you have become so cowardly? He just scolded you like that, why didn't you refute him?"
Xie Songjin said, "Ms. Duan, give me an explanation. Gu Qiufeng's existence is also very important to me. I want to know why you put him in danger?"
Duan Chouyu lowered his eyes and said, "I don't mean to sacrifice him. One person and all people are very important to me."
Xie Songlan asked anxiously: "Then why didn't you say it just now? If you had said it, you wouldn't have had a grudge against that player!"
Duan Chouyu: "...Sorry, I can't tell you now. Once I tell you, the future I predicted might change."
"Are you sure that Gu Qiufeng will be okay?" Xie Songjin asked.
Duan Chouyu nodded sharply.
*
Gu Qiufeng's heart was also in turmoil at this moment.
When he was fighting with Princess Anyang, he suddenly remembered something.
That ID card looks like it’s useless!
As far as this copy is concerned, his identity cannot be strictly considered as "human".
Therefore, he cannot be successfully used as a condition for the coming of the Flower God!
Gu Qiufeng vaguely felt the strong malice of this copy towards him. He knew that he was very ostentatious in the game and accidentally learned some of the core truths of the game. It was understandable that Origin wanted to kill him.
But why did something go wrong with his ID card?
Gu Qiufeng didn't believe that there would be any omissions in the copy game.
It could only be that... something in the game was helping him gain a glimmer of hope.
What kind of existence is the enemy of Origin in the game?
If at the beginning, Gu Qiufeng was still afraid that he would lie in the coffin and there would be unpredictable consequences, then this identity card completely eliminated his doubts.
It was as if someone was secretly guiding him through the crisis.
Who could it be?
Gu Qiufeng was escorted to lie in the coffin and sank to the bottom of the pool for sacrifice. His left eye became extremely hot at this moment, and Gu Qiufeng discovered that even in the water, he could breathe as steadily as on land.
The coffin quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and Gu Qiufeng felt a pair of hands opening the lid of his coffin.
He looked at the flower god in front of him with certainty: "You are not the flower god, you have replaced its existence."
The man in white looked at him silently.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me hide from Yugi?"
The man in white finally spoke, and his voice was still pleasant. He said, "We will meet formally soon."
"Gu Qiufeng, close your eyes."
As the gentle and unquestionable words fell, Gu Qiufeng subconsciously followed the instructions and closed his eyes.
He didn't see that the entire pool of water began to violently turbulent, and the body of the man in white instantly dissipated like smoke.
Then, the system broadcast sound suddenly rang.
[Warning, an unknown force intrusion has been detected, the copy has been severely damaged! ]
[Players please close your eyes and don’t look directly at the invisible things! ]
Gu Qiufeng suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Xie Xin at the end of the 48h copy.
Is this invisible thing that suddenly invaded the same thing he had seen?
Why did his copy suddenly get invaded?
Gu Qiufeng didn't think any more about it, because he felt that he was suddenly out of the entire copy.
[The "Flower Scroll" instance has been completely damaged. The reason is: the NPC priest summoned an invisible object.]
[Counting player casualties: 10 players survived]
Gu Qiufeng suddenly opened his eyes, but found that he was not back to Changyu Tavern at this time.
He looked at the church in front of him and frowned.
Suddenly someone called out, "Where is this place? Am I not on the bus?"
As the other party finished speaking, a priest appeared in front of him.
The cold system broadcast sounded again.
【Welcome to Fatal Fall】
[The number of viewers in the player's live broadcast room is: 20,000, ranking third in the monthly list]
The live broadcast room that was banned in the previous copy can now be used again.
[What's going on? Why did Boss Gu suddenly start broadcasting???]
[Didn't the rumor say that Boss Gu went to the new dungeon? How come he suddenly appeared in this D-level dungeon? ]
[Didn’t something happen to that new dungeon? Was it because of a bug in the game update that led Boss Gu to this dungeon?]
[Is the guy next to Boss Gu a new guy? He seems to be good looking too!!!]
[What's the use of being a newbie? You have to survive in the dungeon first.]
[Upstairs, don't forget how Boss Gu slapped us in the face]
Not only were the viewers in the live broadcast room asking questions frantically, Gu Qiufeng was also confused.
Why did he suddenly go to the dungeon?
At this moment, the confused newcomer beside Gu Qiufeng saw his face clearly and suddenly asked, "Gu Qiufeng?"
Gu Qiufeng turned around and asked in confusion: "Do you know me?"
The other person has a good appearance and seems to be a handsome and elegant young man.
The young man came over enthusiastically: "What a coincidence, I am investigating your disappearance."
He extended his hand to Gu Qiufeng, and his two sharp fangs were exposed when he smiled: "Captain of the first team of the A City Protection Center, Duan Jiangli."
The author has something to say:
The second volume ends here! I actually have a little social anxiety, so I don’t like to say much in my speech, but this time it is of great significance because it is an important node in the outline, so I want to summarize some of my lessons and shortcomings in the past three months.
First of all, I am not satisfied with the content of the second volume, because I want to lay a good foundation, but I am not very good at developing the plot, so I feel that the second volume is a bit too riddle-like, which may affect everyone's reading experience. In addition, due to academic factors and physical conditions, I stopped writing for a long time in the second volume, which resulted in a loss of writing feel at the beginning of the flower volume. After adjusting later, I realized that the conflict in this copy was too peaceful and the rhythm was too slow, but the story was already developing. Going back to revise the text would affect the readers' experience of following the update, not to mention that my level is limited to this.
The next volume is the truth volume in a sense! Finally, I don’t have to tell riddles because of my limited level! I can also make it a little more lighthearted. After all, this is essentially a cool story about Mr. Gu, the male protagonist (bushi)
I write, but I know I don’t have much writing talent, so I can discover my shortcomings as I write. My wish is to be told that I have made “improvement” in my subsequent stories, even if it’s just a little bit!
I also have new goals for 2023. I want to make up for some of the problems I have found in my articles now, write better and better, and stop interrupting the writing. I also want to coordinate my studies and writing. At the same time, I also want to be a high-quality online writer! In short, thank you for reading my nonsense! This is an important node in my article. I hope to make some progress in the following plot and bring you a better experience (><)
Boss Gu’s story is still very long——!
