Chapter 59 Go home, go home, child.
The surrounding area instantly became sticky, like a plate that had been microwaved.
It also has a cloyingly sweet taste.
It felt like I had accidentally wandered into a candy store.
Gu Nanqiu lifted her foot and saw that there seemed to be some white, sticky stuff on the sole of her shoe—it was cream.
She frowned and picked up Yue Yiyue, who was still unconscious on the bed.
Wu Zhen was then placed on the bed, and Gu Nanqiu thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.
"Do you think... I did something wrong?" Wu Zhen looked at the ceiling, somewhat confused, and asked, "I think I did something wrong."
"Aside from the fact that you didn't filter out some nerves when your wish came true, it's hard to judge." Following the request, Gu Nanqiu didn't give Wu Zhen a definite answer, but instead asked, "Were you happy at that moment?"
Wu Zhen was indeed happy the moment the flames ignited.
Even when she knew she couldn't escape, she felt no fear of death.
Instead, she took a knife from the kitchen and did what she had always wanted to do.
He injured the two-faced man.
He also managed to kill his favorite stupid, scoundrel cousin here.
After being brought back to life, that bastard was nailed to that spot, forced to experience death again and again, in an endless cycle.
It's just a pity.
She was almost able to escape back then.
Something doesn't seem right?
As the thing in her head disappeared, Wu Zhen recalled many memories from before her death.
She didn't actually escape; He Wu took a knife from her father, who had gone mad, for her.
Amidst the raging flames and thick fog, He Wu lay prone on the ground, pointing ahead and roaring, "Run! He's gone mad! He's not human!!!"
It was then that Wu Zhen realized that her father had also made a deal.
What followed was a brief battle, where past grudges erupted in an instant.
In this game of cunning and manipulation, she emerged victorious.
Wu Zhen remembers that she was almost dead at that time, and with her last breath, she went to the kitchen and took out that small cake.
It was He Wu who made the birthday cake, saying it was to thank his sister for taking care of him over the years.
At that time, He Wu was also barely breathing. He lay on the ground and saw the cake. He barely managed to sit up and spat out a mouthful of blood: "He wanted me to take everything from you so that your emotions would overflow, you would go crazy, become a monster, and then be locked up in that place, controlled by the He family, to be nurtured into the embryo of a new god."
"I already knew what they were planning, but I couldn't tell you, otherwise he would have found another way to kill you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't discuss this with you, and I didn't protect you properly."
"I'm awful, I deserve to die. You're great, you should get out of here..."
fine.
As past memories resurfaced, Wu Zhen realized how incredibly stupid she had been.
That's so stupid.
It's a pity, but I don't regret it.
"To be honest, I was just a pawn. When He set the fire, He promised me eternal life. I was only eighteen years old then, how could I possibly understand?" Wu Zhen laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I thought it was exchanged for their lives, but it turned out to be all just word games."
"Am I guilty and deserve this punishment?"
The pale moonlight shone on Wu Zhen, and she vaguely thought that when she was burned by the flames, she seemed to see the same moonlight.
It's very bright and beautiful.
"No, they really deserved to die." Gu Nanqiu sensed Wu Zhen's breath growing weaker and weaker: "You can give me all your emotions now."
"I will experience this world with your emotions in mind."
"Take it, it's not like it's anything good." Wu Zhen coughed twice, and only then did she understand the principle of voluntariness in the rules.
They must give their own emotions to another monster so that the monster can truly gain their power.
So Gu Nanqiu is one of the same kind.
Wu Zhen could already feel herself running out of breath: "Can I make a wish too?"
She forced a smile: "I'm not satisfied with killing the person who fooled me."
"The Wu family—the Wu family has always been creating new gods..."
".....sorry"
The person on the bed gradually melted, eventually turning into a puddle of pale white cream.
A strawberry was hanging on top.
It's bright red and looks very pretty.
————
Gu Ye emerged from the balcony and took the strawberry from Gu Nanqiu's hand: "He Wu, the forensic doctor has taken care of it. She didn't want to meet you, so she just took the people and left. I'll send them to their next life later."
"Then I went back to that godforsaken place."
The tentacles behind Gu Ye stuck to Yue Yiyue's leg and then nimbly burrowed into Yue Yiyue's collar.
A moment later, all the scratches on Yue Yiyue's body disappeared without a trace.
Gu also grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I haven't seen any of the others go back to that godforsaken place either."
"They're just targeting me."
Gu Nanqiu affectionately patted Gu Ye's head: "Because you are the youngest, the shortest-lived, and have the weakest attachment to this world, you can try to persuade that one in City A to go back. Guess if she will skin you alive."
Upon hearing the location, Gu Ye shuddered: "Forget it. If we really do ask her to go back, I guess the only one who can tell her is Yi Yue."
"But before I go back, I will definitely get a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of benefits from Yue Yiyue."
"Ahhh, but I really can't bear to part with her! I haven't even gotten close to Yiyue yet, and she doesn't even know who I am!!!" Gu Ye said, getting increasingly agitated: "Gu Nanqiu, Gu Nanqiu, Gu Nanqiu, I'm you! You're me too! How about I become you? I promise I can—"
Gu Nanqiu remained silent, only looking at Gu Ye.
A moment later, Gu also grumbled and took Yue Yiyue from her hands: "Give me three more days, I'll go back in three days, that way Yue Yiyue will be less in danger."
"And then there's the Wu family. Everyone knows about their plan to create a god. If the next avatar can't return in three months, this world will be one step closer to collapse, and that thing from the Wu family will become even stronger."
“D City experienced a rule rampage a few days ago, and more than a thousand people have died. Gu Nanqiu, you need to speed things up. Ye Qiu still needs to repair the timeline. The rule rampage in Y City that you are still working to control will definitely not be as easy to talk to as I am next.”
Gu Ye was muttering to himself when he suddenly saw Yue Yiyue in his arms.
Sleeping soundly.
Well, the next one definitely won't really not go back.
Only when they become one can they truly... be brought back to life... Yue Yiyue...
————
After they left, the waiter looked at Wu Zhen's father, who was lying in a chair, his body torn to pieces.
He sighed regretfully, having originally intended to recycle and reuse it.
They're still the same as always...
I really miss it... It's great to be able to face each other again...
This time, I absolutely must peel back Yue Yiyue's skin and flesh with my own hands, and see for myself what kind of monster she is made of—
————
When Yue Yiyue woke up, he was suffocating under Gu Ye's weight.
She struggled to pull Gu Ye away from her chest, rubbed her eyes, and habitually looked to the other side, but Gu Nanqiu was not there.
She sat up with a start, and Gu, who was next to her, was also awakened by Yue Yiyue's movements.
Gu rubbed his eyes: "She allowed me to sleep with you tonight."
He then yawned widely: "I'm back. In the end, the forensic doctor and I got there and broke those wishes, and the rules were completely shattered."
"What about Wu Zhen?" Yue Yiyue asked curiously.
"Well, she created these monstrous things, and when they broke, she died too."
"But she was already dead." Koya mumbled, still half-asleep. "Yay, leap! Congratulations on passing another level!"
As Gu Ye finished speaking, Yue Yiyue unlocked all his memories of this chapter from the original work.
This instance is actually quite simple; you just need to purify Wu Zhen's resentment towards her father.
However, Gu Nanqiu did not do this in the original work.
Both Gu Nanqiu and she, as a reader, felt that Wu Zhen should hate this scumbag father.
From childhood to adulthood, they belittled the other child and constantly poured all their resources into the other child, causing the two children to compete openly and secretly.
Fortunately, the other one was stupid.
At the end of the novel, Gu Nanqiu takes Wu Zhen's hand and sincerely says that it's good to hate, that she should be like this.
Wu Zhen then regained her senses.
In that instant, the forensic doctor found a flaw and shattered the rules.
Yes, there is a forensic doctor in the original work.
As a special police force, forensic doctors follow behind Gu Nanqiu and her colleagues to manipulate public opinion and rescue ordinary people.
Ancient...
This person does not exist in the original work...
Anyway, she wasn't involved in the original story.
Yue Yiyue sorted out his thoughts. What comes next after this?
It's fog again, the only difference being that Yue Yiyue has absolutely no recollection of the next chapter's content this time.
It was as if she had never read the book.
She sighed and slowly lay back down: "Alright, go to sleep."
Gu Ye nodded, snuggling closer to Yue Yiyue to find a more comfortable position: "Goodnight—"
————
After sleeping until he naturally woke up, Yue Yiyue went out to buy breakfast and stayed by Gu Nanqiu's side.
From her perspective, Gu Nanqiu was good in every way except for his mental state.
She looked haggard, and her lips were even paler.
Yue Yiyue considerately didn't ask her what had happened there; she simply handed him the soy milk and pulled out a vibrant rose from her bosom.
She bought it on the way, thinking that Gu Nanqiu would like it.
She genuinely liked it. The moment Gu Nanqiu saw it, her eyes lit up, and the haggardness on her face vanished, replaced by joy.
She rummaged through the cabinet and found a vase with a small chip on the rim, then put freshly cut roses into it.
The vibrant roses appeared in the restaurant, adding a unique touch to the room.
Gu Nanqiu poked at the rose: "Yiyue, your phone keeps ringing, go check it. I'll tidy up the table and wake Gu Ye up later~"
Yue Yiyue looked at the buzzing phone on the table and nodded: "When I contacted you back then, I asked some friends to help me return the money and thank the other party."
He then explained the situation to Gu Nanqiu and showed her the previous list on his phone: "Do you think it would be appropriate for me to treat them to something next week?"
After receiving Gu Nanqiu's approval, Yue Yiyue lay down on the sofa and casually picked up a cushion from the side to use as a cushion.
On the phone screen, the group message that was temporarily created earlier was already full with 99+ messages, mostly thank yous, and the people in it were chatting enthusiastically.
Upon closer inspection, Yue Yiyue realized that he had somehow found the group and joined to thank Yue Yiyue.
They were all people who had been harmed by their own wishes.
She shared her experiences in the group chat, and then last night she saw Yue Yiyue fighting Wu Zhen like a divine warrior, and then she returned to her own body.
They also said that she had been turned into a puppet doll and that she thought she was going to die.
However, many people still died in this disaster caused by the monster.
Holding the list he had initially screenshotted, Yue Yiyue created another group, hoping to return the money.
They all refused. Some said they had money, while others said that the women Yue Yiyue saved had already pocketed the money.
In the end, Yue Yiyue could only say in the group that if he was free this Friday, he would treat them to dinner at XX Snack Street.
They choose.
To avoid putting anyone on a psychological level, Yue Yiyue posted a picture of the balance on one of his bank cards.
Amidst cheers of "Yay!", they happily bargained and booked a whole buffet.
