Chapter 209 The Gong Family



[Bula]: What's wrong?

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiangnan's lips curled up slightly, and he bent down to pick up Bula.

Bula obediently let her hold him without struggling at all.

It squinted slightly.

Ah... I'm getting sleepy again.

[Bula]: Why did you suddenly hug me?

Yu Xiangnan said in a tone that was both teasing and serious, "It's nothing, it's just that your short legs make you walk too slowly. If you keep going like this, you might run into those weirdos later, and that would be a big problem."

As expected, upon hearing this, the scene he had witnessed that night flashed through his mind, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

[Bula]: Oh my god, let's hurry back X﹏X

At the same time.

[Higher-level area: ???]

The Gong family.

The Gong family mansion stands in the heart of a bustling area. The overall architecture presents an Art Deco style, with simple and smooth lines that exude a sense of power and look extremely luxurious.

Gong Mo stood in front of a huge mirror, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes sparkling with pleasure.

He carefully examined himself in the mirror while humming a cheerful tune with a relaxed air.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him like the wind.

*Smack!*

Without any mercy, she slapped him on the back.

Gong Mo nearly banged his head against the ground, coughing until his face turned bright red. Upon seeing who it was, he clutched his chest and cried out in a distressed tone, "Sis, please go easy on me..."

"What mischief are you up to now? Why are you in such a good mood?" Gong Ming narrowed his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and looked at him suspiciously. "I called you for ages, and you didn't even hear me."

"Sis, how did I inexplicably do something bad again? You can't just say things like that..."

It took Gong Mo a while to recover. His lips started to curl into a smile again. He cleared his throat and said, "I did some things for the second reversed card these past few days. I didn't expect to meet a beautiful girl who really captured my heart. I've calculated that we'll definitely meet again soon."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ming raised her eyebrows and began to scold, "Come on, stop harming people. If my brother finds out, he'll tear you to pieces."

"By the way, aren't you a reversed candidate? I'm here to ask you something."

"I heard some news that someone actually went to [Blue Moon] (Blue Star X Crescent Moon) to kill someone, but failed. Blue Moon has only been open for a little over half a year, and the highest level player is probably only level 50, right?"

"Who exactly is the player the third reversed card is supposed to kill, that they have such ability to escape successfully from my grasp?"

Gong Mo was taken aback.

The third reversed position? Did it go to the [Blue Moon]?

Who on earth could have provoked him to go to such lengths to take action? And yet, he still failed.

Gong Mo blurted out, "Third reversed? Why did this guy suddenly go crazy and run off to Earth? He's always been eccentric and mentally unstable... Waaah, waaaah..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gong Ming rushed forward in a panic and covered his mouth with her hand with lightning speed and astonishing strength.

"Shh! Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you want everyone to hear you?"

After saying that, she let go of her hand, curled her lips in disgust, took out a delicate handkerchief from her bosom, and carefully wiped her hands as if she had just touched something unclean.

She kept her voice very low.

"In any case, the Gong family has clearly sided with the second reversed position. The relationships among the eight reversed positions this year are a complete mess, and there are too many things that are unclear. It's best to avoid trouble if possible, and try not to offend anyone if you can. This is the safest approach for the Gong family."

"Hey, are you even listening?!"

Seeing Gong Mo standing there in a daze, Gong Ming didn't say a word and swiftly slapped Gong Mo with her palm.

Fortunately, Gong Mo reacted quickly enough, instinctively dodging to the side, thus narrowly avoiding the sudden attack.

Surprisingly, after dodging the palm strike, Gong Mo seemed like a completely different person. His previous carefree demeanor vanished instantly.

He frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Players of [Blue Moon]...

Could it be her?

【Blue Star X Crescent Star】

The Unknown Lands instance, day eleven of survival.

Yu Xiangnan stopped in front of the town's cultural center. The door was half-closed, the paint peeling off completely, revealing the wood grain underneath.

As soon as it was pushed open, the door hinges made a jarring "creak" sound.

The interior was dimly lit and oppressive, with a few weak rays of sunlight filtering through the dusty windows, through which countless dust particles could be vaguely seen dancing freely.

The spacious hall was filled with old tables and chairs, their surfaces covered in a thick layer of dust. The glass of the display cases around the hall was broken and shattered, and most of the items that were originally displayed inside were incomplete, some even unrecognizable.

Yu Xiangnan headed straight for the town's cultural center warehouse.

At the time, the funeral home owner said that an old book in the town's cultural center warehouse mentioned that "when yin and yang are reversed, evil spirits will appear."

This refers to "Clues One" from the "Key Clues".

But is this time the clue an old book? She hadn't found any yellowed books at the mountain god temple at the town's entrance. Ironically, she'd stumbled upon a special pattern on an abandoned stone statue, which led to a starred clue.

As for the purpose of these key clues and follow-up clues, she speculated that they might be meant to guide players to key items or key NPCs, thereby changing the course of the story.

While thinking, she quickly found the warehouse.

Not just the warehouse, the entire cultural center was permeated with an atmosphere of antiquity, decay, and death.

As if sensing something, Yu Xiangnan gripped the shovel tightly in his hand warily. He turned his head and saw a strange figure flash past behind him.

Oops... Hopefully, she won't suddenly get up close and personal. She's not exactly brave, but she's also timid.

And this time, she came alone.

Yu Xiangnan focused her attention and took a few more steps forward. The next second, an NPC who had discovered the mutation, just like the Butcher, appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

However, the NPC had his back to her.

Before Yu Xiangnan could make a move, the NPC suddenly made a 180-degree turn in an illogical way, its neck cracking.

"!!!"
