Chapter 57 One by one, dreams flew out of the skylight.
With a slight movement, Yue Yiyue's wrist was encircled by Gu Nanqiu's slightly larger hand, which gently rubbed the soft flesh of his wrist.
Finally, the needle rested near the pulse, quietly sensing Yue Yiyue's heartbeat.
Worried that rashly exporting the information would arouse Wu Zhen's suspicion, Yue Yiyue lay quietly on the bed, waiting.
Waiting for a better time to communicate.
"Don't you miss me?" After a long while, Gu Nanqiu couldn't help but ask, "I'm right here, why are you acting like you didn't see anything?"
"Are you still my illusion?" Gu Nanqiu's voice became inexplicably hoarse as she spoke, as if she was suppressing inappropriate emotions: "That's right... How could she possibly come to this place?"
Gu Nanqiu shifted her body, sat up, changed her position, and knelt on Yue Yiyue's body.
Her long, ink-black hair brushed against Yue Yiyue's cheek, causing a slight tickle. The two were very close, their breaths mingling in the dark room.
One drop...
Two drops...
Scalding tears fell onto Yue Yiyue's cheeks. They should have been cool tears, so why were they so hot? They burned her heart as well.
Calloused hands brushed across Gu Nanqiu's cheeks, wiping away the overflowing tears.
Gu Nanqiu subconsciously rubbed her hand against her cheek: "I'm sorry, I'm so lonely here... It's been such a long time since anyone has talked to me."
"You are the most like Yiyue's empty shell that she transformed into. Can I hug you?" She casually covered Yue Yiyue's open mouth.
Tears soaked her clothes as Gu Nanqiu whispered her longing for Yue Yiyue.
Yue Yiyue raised his hand, then lowered it again, and finally just stared silently at the ceiling.
Hmm, Gu Nanqiu mentioned in the previous sentence that she could only wander around this area, which should be to ask her to find out if there is anything restricting her movement.
The fact that no one has spoken for so long might be due to a different flow of time here.
Nan Qiu seemed to be in good spirits and hadn't lost weight, but her complexion wasn't very good.
And then there's the bluish-black color right now.
Wu Zhen really treated Gu Nanqiu very poorly, yet she kept professing her love for him.
They didn't even try to give a full performance.
Yue Yiyue quickly went through everything she had seen when she came up in her mind. After Nan Qiu fell asleep, she would have to go and check on the room downstairs that Wu Zhen had deliberately blocked.
Wu Zhen's movements were too deliberate, so Yue Yiyue would naturally play along with her and finish the scene.
But how should I tell Gu Nanqiu?
There was no paper or pen, and judging from Gu Nanqiu's appearance, it seemed that he was putting on an act for Wu Zhen.
But from the very beginning, she shouted "Leap!" to Wu Zhen.
Gu Nanqiu must have her reasons for doing this.
Yue Yiyue winked at Gu Nanqiu, hoping that in the pitch black, Gu Nanqiu could understand the question in her eyes.
Thinking about this, Yue Yiyue almost laughed at himself.
Her idea was both absurd and laughable.
She didn't expect that she and Gu Nanqiu had such a high level of understanding that they could know what the other was going to do with just a glance.
Why is it always daytime outside the window...?
"Why do I always hear something scratching at the wall downstairs? It's so noisy..."
Yue Yiyue raised his hand and gently drew a number on Gu Nanqiu's back.
I hope Gu Nanqiu understands that this is her typing 1 to indicate that she has received it.
The person in his arms trembled slightly, as if they were crying.
But Yue Yiyue, who was closer, knew that Gu Nanqiu was amused by him.
That's fine. At least it lets Gu Nanqiu relax a bit here while she gathers the remaining clues, finds a solution, and then...
Let's go home together.
————
After Gu Nanqiu's breathing stabilized, Yue Yiyue covered Gu Nanqiu with the quilt and tiptoed to the door.
The door has no handle; it is seamlessly integrated into the wall.
If Yue Yiyue hadn't seen Wu Zhen open it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was just a decoration.
She tried placing her hand on it, and her hand went straight through the wall.
So that's how it is.
It seems she is in this area in spirit form.
The watch on his wrist was still there. Yue Yiyue raised his hand and glanced at the number on the watch: 42.
It's alright, I guess.
Yue Yiyue put her watch away, walked through the door, and headed downstairs.
Perhaps it was because of the form of a spirit, but Yue Yiyue always felt that her steps were light and airy, and she was not used to it.
If I actually fight something later, will I just pass right through it?
The surroundings were not as orderly as Yue Yiyue had initially seen.
The walls were blackened by fire, the handrails collapsed by fire, and there were fragments of other items.
This environment is terrible; no wonder Wu Zhen only let Gu Nanqiu stay in that small room that looks barely habitable.
But with these conditions, she dared to promise to be with Gu Nanqiu, which is really something.
But this wish might not have been made by her.
After all, there is no direct evidence to prove it.
Besides, Wu Zhen doesn't seem like someone who's obsessed with romance.
While nitpicking Wu Zhen's mistakes, he also cursed He Wu, the lunatic, in his heart.
Ultimately, it was because of those two that Gu Nanqiu developed those light dark circles under her eyes.
Yue Yiyue arrived on the first floor and passed through the door that Wu Zhen had repeatedly hidden.
This room is even more chaotic than the one I saw before.
The charred carpet, the curtains half-eaten by fire, the family photo on the wall with only two children remaining, and the large sofa with its back to her.
There was a lot of black stuff under the sofa, like bloodstains.
Unfortunately, everything in the room was in black and white, creating a stark contrast with the blazing sun outside the window, making it impossible for Yue Yiyue to accurately analyze what the traces were.
This room feels like stepping into a black and white movie from the last century.
Only on the shattered cake on the floor, bright red strawberries lay quietly on the carpet.
The sound of defeat came from the sofa, hoarse and filled with hatred.
"You... are you here to save me? That rebellious girl, she's always thinking about things she shouldn't be thinking about."
“Come here…come here, I’ll tell you her weakness, I’ll tell you how to kill her.”
"Someone as useless as her wants to become a god."
'She deserved to die, but it's such a pity for my child, He Wu... he was also killed by that bitch...'
Listening to the rambling on the other end, I got angrier and angrier.
He was clearly thinking about things from his previous life.
The sound from that side gradually became distorted.
Yue Yiyue stopped in front of the sofa. She looked at the charred corpse on the sofa, with a kitchen knife still firmly nailed to its abdomen.
This thing is what keeps him stuck on the sofa; he can't get up or move.
The corpse's dark face trembled slowly, as if trying to make out what the person in front of it looked like: "Pull this out for me. Only in this way can I completely kill that rebellious woman. You need my help."
"As long as you pull this out, I will definitely help you. I will grant you whatever you want."
Yue Yiyue placed her hand on the knife, and with a forceful thrust, she plunged the knife even deeper.
The corpse paused for a moment, then began to hurl insults at Yue Yiyue.
"She was very outstanding. She was among the top ten students in the entire university when she was admitted to C University."
Yue Yiyue looked down at the corpse and said, word by word, "Wu Zhen is not a waste."
The corpse seemed surprised that everyone in front of him had been tricked into this place by Wu Zhen, and was still speaking up for Wu Zhen. His awful, hoarse voice emitted a shrill laugh: "She's going to kill you."
"Hahaha, you're still saying good things about her? You really are."
"Fool, fool, you deserve to die."
"Then I'll torture you after you die."
“That’s between her and me. As for you, after you married into the family, you ate and drank at the woman’s expense, and then you had to give everything away. You deserved to die.” Yue Yiyue remained calm: “If you had died back then, Wu Zhen would be a CEO now.”
With a swift motion, the knife fell, and the round head rolled to the ground, bounced twice, and finally landed next to the strawberry.
Yue Yiyue turned around and looked at the curtains: "His mouth was dirty, so I took care of that first. Now it's time for me and you."
The curtains moved without any wind, and Wu Zhen's figure slowly, slowly emerged from within.
She was wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"You must have planned how you would escape back then, right? What stopped you and made you turn back to kill him?"
Four years ago, a small fire broke out in this place; it was caused by electricity.
Unfortunately, due to strong winds and other factors, the fire spread rapidly that day.
A fire destroyed the entire house.
The Wu Group suffered huge losses, and the company was eventually taken over by Wu Zhen's aunt.
At first, Yue Yiyue wanted to go to Wu Zhen's aunt to find out what was going on, but unfortunately, time was running out.
Yue Yiyue looked at the chair that had flown to her back, and she sat down without ceremony: "You want to tell me about your journey?"
Wu Zhen stood there staring at Yue Yiyue: "I'm just curious, why don't you pity him?"
"Why would I pity him?" Yue Yiyue retorted. "I don't know him at all, so of course I don't pity you either."
"I have nothing to do with you."
"How strange." Wu Zhen seemed to be seeing such a human for the first time, and she murmured softly.
Yue Yiyue escaped the way she had planned to die once again.
Logically, she should have been wrapped up in the corpse on the sofa so that she could peel off the skin.
This method was used to change several bodies for He Wu before, so why doesn't it work for Yue Yiyue?
However, if she doesn't make Gu Nanqiu willingly fall in love with her, she won't be able to completely devour Gu Nanqiu's power.
That pure feeling.
As long as she has the ability to take a bite out of the hole, she can get closer to her ideal state.
It's really quite distressing.
Once she becomes the ruler of this world's rules, she will abolish all these convoluted rules.
Wu Zhen raised her hand, and the eyeballs behind her floated up, all staring intently at Yue Yiyue.
Alright, it's time to end things with this insignificant human being.
Even without this physical body, she has other options.
————
The scene was somewhat eerie. Yue Yiyue felt his wristwatch begin to vibrate, a reminder that something was falling.
"So you're that damned wish god?" Yue Yiyue guessed it when he saw the strawberries on the ground, and didn't seem too surprised.
Now I understand why she and He Wu were keeping an eye on Gu Nanqiu.
Seeing those eyeballs rushing towards him again, Yue Yiyue grabbed a stool and threw it in that direction, causing a series of eyeball shattering sounds.
One by one, white lights flew outwards, as if their restraining ropes had been torn off.
Wu Zhen, who had been standing there calmly, heard the noise behind her and turned around to look at the thing that had flown away: "What are you doing?"
Her face contorted instantly: "How could you have such an ability?!"
