Chapter 51 SAN Value Goes on a Dance
Always... always...
These words entered Yue Yiyue's eyes, magnifying and magnifying.
The room was unusually quiet except for the occasional hum from the computer case.
Yue Yiyue stood there, quietly looking at these few lines of text, his expression inscrutable.
After a long while, she walked to the computer and looked at the poster's ID: Goddess, please look at me more.
In the past, Yue Yiyue would have glanced at it and ignored it, since there were just too many nicknames like that.
But now.
Who could it be?
Was it just a passerby who brushed past Gu Nanqiu?
Or is she her current classmate?
Or perhaps it's Wu Zhen?
Many images flashed through Yue Yiyue's mind, but he still couldn't find the answer.
It was clearly written in the original work, but whenever the plot reached a crucial point, a vague fog would appear in her mind, preventing her from getting the answer directly.
Tsk, if that's the case, why did you let her read this book in the first place?
What's the point of her wearing this book?
What use is she here?
A sense of guilt for not being able to help Gu Nanqiu quickly overwhelmed Yue Yiyue's mind.
The intense pain in his head nearly caused Yue Yiyue to collapse to his knees.
At that moment, tiny figures kept popping out of my head, shrieking, "It's no use."
"Yue Yiyue, it's useless."
"You're useless if you don't know anything about the plot!"
"Those who are not needed, then just die!"
"Hehe! Go to hell!"
The surrounding space gradually distorted, and pairs of bright red eyes outside the window stared intently at the people inside the room.
Beautiful hands emerged from their eye sockets, waving like waves towards Yue Yiyue: "Come on~"
"Come with us—"
"You are no longer needed—"
"bring it on--"
The reflection in the glass became clearer, and Yue Yiyue saw himself in the glass, his pale face dotted with a few freckles, and his eyes bloodshot.
Her body was covered with the word "useless" written on it.
useless.
Let's go back.
step......
Two steps...
Yue Yiyue's pace quickened, getting closer and closer to the glass window. The voices outside the window grew gentler, but the pain in his head did not lessen.
The aroma of strawberry cake in the air grew stronger and stronger, as if it were a reward for Yue Yiyue's obedience.
"bring it on--"
“Good child, come with us—don’t be a burden to Gu Nanqiu anymore—”
"Only by coming here will you forever, always be qualified to stand beside Gu Nanqiu..."
"Come on, come on, jump down, and you'll be free... your head won't hurt anymore..."
If there is a third person in the room, they will see the computer screen flashing repeatedly before finally turning into a smiley face.
Just as Yue Yiyue's hand was about to reach the window.
The cell phone, which had been sitting quietly on the table, emitted a piercing scream, followed by a cheerful ringtone.
“Hello—Mom…” Yue Yiyue was immediately drawn to the phone. She answered it in a daze and called out the name without hesitation.
There was still a strange static on the other end of the phone, and my mother's voice was as ethereal as ever.
“Yiyue, I recently heard that your classmate had an accident. Luckily, I have a friend who is a great psychologist.”
"At your age... go... to... find... him/her."
The sound became increasingly strange as it progressed, eventually eliciting only broken syllables.
The phone call was still going on, and a constant squelching sound could be heard from the other end, like something slippery rubbing against something.
Occasionally, there were screams and barely audible pleas for mercy.
After a moment of confusion, the phone started buzzing, and then Mom's gentle voice came through again.
"Baby... I'm sorry, I was working and didn't hear you clearly. Let me say it again, her name is forensic doctor. You should also pay attention to your mental health."
"Do you have enough money?" A low laugh came from the other end of the phone, as if suppressing some complex emotions: "Baby, you haven't asked me for money much lately."
"Everything I have is yours..."
"Baby...use more, okay? This is all I can give you, it's the only thing I can give you..."
"Baby... I miss you so much."
Yue Yiyue stood by the table, glancing at the computer screen that had gone black at some point. The pain in her head was soothed by the woman on the other end of the phone, who spoke to her one sentence at a time.
It felt like being back in my mother's womb, enveloped in warm amniotic fluid, where everything felt perfectly safe.
The mother was still complaining that her daughter was too sensible and didn't want to trouble her, talking about her loneliness and the sadness of not being able to see her daughter.
Finally, Yue Yiyue had to make a promise: "Okay, Mom, I will try my best to spend three thousand every month."
"Yes, that's right, Mom. I...miss you so much. You've given me so much...Mom...I'll come see you later..."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Yiyue looked at the phone numbers sent to his phone. What a coincidence, how come they all know forensic doctors?
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded as strange as ever.
Then, belatedly, I realized that I had just been looking at information on the computer, and then something strange happened by the window.
Yue Yiyue subconsciously looked up at the window. The window was covered with crisscrossing red bloodstains, as if they had been evenly smeared by something.
In the very corner, there is a small, inconspicuous heart.
It didn't seem like a warning to the people inside; rather, it sounded like a strange declaration of love.
With his headache completely gone, Yue Yiyue realized that he had almost lost control and jumped out of the window.
The 32nd floor...
Yue Yiyue stood still for a moment, wondering if hiring a cleaning service would cost extra...
Holding her phone, she hesitated for a long time before finally dialing Gu Nanqiu's number: "Nanqiu, I'm sorry, something bad seems to have happened here..."
Two minutes later, Gu Nanqiu and Gu Ye appeared in the room at the same time.
Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue, who was squatting in the corner looking confused. She walked over and easily picked him up: "Poor Yiyue... such a thing actually happened in the room... Please don't leave our sight after this, okay?"
Yue Yiyue nodded obediently.
Feeling conflicted, Yue Yiyue thought to herself that she seemed to have caused Gu Nanqiu trouble again.
She sniffed and buried herself in Gu Nanqiu's arms: "I'm sorry..."
“No, Yiyue, you don’t need to apologize.” Gu Nanqiu nuzzled Yue Yiyue and patted her back like she was coaxing a child: “Yiyue, you’re just doing what you want to do.”
Koya looked at their artwork with satisfaction, but unfortunately, the heart in the corner was drawn too small... If it were her, she would have expressed her love to Ichiyo more passionately, which was her only redeeming quality.
She's new enough.
"Yiyue, don't worry about anything, I'll take care of everything for you."

living room
Yue Yiyue forced himself to tell Gu Nanqiu that someone was targeting her and wanted to force her to fall in love with that person through this weird wishing cake.
At this point, Yue Yiyue paced back and forth anxiously, rubbing her hands nervously. "This sounds absurd, but that's exactly what Xie Ying wanted to remind you about before."
"The cake delivery earlier was probably a warning, a reminder. I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I only noticed these details now."
"I'm sorry, Nanqiu."
"How about I take some time off? I'll stay in the house with you, and then..."
"And then?" Gu Nanqiu listened patiently to Yue Yiyue's next words, waiting for Yiyue's thoughts.
But all that awaited him was Yue Yiyue spinning around in circles, even more anxiously.
After a brief sigh, Gu Nanqiu stepped forward and pulled Yue Yiyue back, cupping his face in her hands and pressing her forehead against his: "Was this something that couldn't be avoided?"
Yue Yiyue's eyes darkened...
It's unavoidable.
It's really impossible for them to never go out again.
Moreover, it seemed like there were many things watching them from outside the house.
Yue Yiyue closed her eyes in despair. In that instant, she felt truly insignificant.
As a transmigrator, I've become so incompetent.
There's no way to avoid some things that can't happen, and they even keep causing trouble for Gu Nanqiu.
If she had just opened the window, those things would have swarmed to where Gu Nanqiu was, brainwashed her, and made her fall in love with someone she didn't love, thus fulfilling her wish.
This is unacceptable... absolutely unacceptable!
Thinking of this, Yue Yiyue trembled slightly. She desperately needed to cut something to force herself to calm down, or perhaps bite her fingernails.
But there was nothing she could do.
She could only look at Gu Nanqiu in front of her.
"Yiyue, do you believe me?" Gu Nanqiu's hand landed on Yue Yiyue's cold hand, covering it and squeezing between his fingers, their fingers interlocking. The slightly warmer temperature gently dispelled Yue Yiyue's anxiety.
Gu Nanqiu gazed at Yue Yiyue with gentle yet firm eyes. She said slowly and deliberately, “There’s no need to think too much. You and I will go through anything together. We don’t need to fear what hasn’t happened yet.”
"Believe me."
"Yi Yue, please believe me."

When Yue Yiyue woke up, he was still in Gu Nanqiu and Gu Ye's arms.
Holding the two children, for a moment Yue Yiyue thought he had returned to the orphanage and was sleeping on a large communal bed.
She sat up and felt a relaxation she had never experienced before.
It was as if someone had given her a comfortable massage while she was fast asleep.
After sitting there for a moment, she felt a jolt in her head and realized that she had dreamt of a scene from the original story.
The importance of that webpage is repeatedly emphasized in the original work.
She pulled the still-sleepy Koya up and rushed towards the study.
The windows had been cleaned spotless, with not a trace of blood remaining.
However, Yue Yiyue's goal was not that.
She turned on her computer and opened her browsing history.
A blank page.
There was nothing there.
She refreshed the webpage again in disbelief to make sure she hadn't enabled incognito browsing.
Undeterred, Yue Yiyue searched the forum again and quickly switched to the days in his memory.
The post about the wishing cake is still there, but the avatar that looked like a string of gibberish has disappeared.
All of this was like Yue Yiyue's nightmare...
She immediately turned on her phone and looked at the number she could never block.
She did leave a message for someone during yesterday's conversation.
"Sister Yiyue, what's wrong?" Gu Ye yawned, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Yue Yiyue. She took a few unsteady steps, and finally sat in Yue Yiyue's arms, muttering, "I'm so sleepy, I'll just lean on you and take a nap."
After saying that, he took a deep, greedy breath.
"I'm sorry." Yue Yiyue put his arm around Gu Ye and adjusted him to a more comfortable position. He put his phone on the table and continued searching for posts, even typing in the strange URL from memory.
The only result is: the page you are looking for does not exist.
I switched to another browser and searched several times.
Without exception, the result was the same.
Yue Yiyue leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling with a somewhat dejected expression.
Damn it.
Damn it!
Damn it!!!
So close, so very close!
The fragments Yue Yiyue dreamed of were the biggest reminder given to everyone in the original work.
The first person to make a wish on this webpage became a devotee of the website.
She/He nourishes that lost, pitiful person, feeding them with desire, nourishing that monster who thirsts for power and to become a true god.
Yue Yiyue glanced down at Gu Ye, who was fast asleep in his arms.
That's settled then.
That's the only way for now, at least.
