With a cold snort, a figure with an elongated shadow appeared at the dungeon entrance.
"Um?"
Not only the arrogant Gu Ruyi, but also the other people who had fainted but were holding on by sheer willpower to avoid completely passing out looked over in surprise.
When the figures appeared, everyone was stunned, never expecting that the person who appeared would be the person they knew best.
But this aura was quite different from what I usually see.
"Wan... Wan Mei?" Gu An's condition was still relatively good, so he was still conscious and able to speak.
"That's right, it's me. So, Miss Gu, shouldn't you let go of your filthy hands? After all, she's not someone you can covet."
Gu Ruyi knew her, but she only thought of her as a paper tiger, someone who was just talking and that she could easily kill her, so she wasn't afraid.
Unexpectedly, just as her hand moved slightly in response to her consciousness, a gleaming, thin blade flew towards her.
"Ah!" Although she reacted quickly, she didn't completely dodge, and a beautiful and alluring crimson blood instantly exploded on her shoulder.
Seeing that Wan Mei had hurt Gu Ruyi, Gu An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down wearily.
"I told you, get your dirty hands off me. It seems you're not an obedient person. So, when it comes to disobedient people, there's only one way out: death. There's no other way to live."
As she spoke, Wan Mei revealed a smug and confident smile. She raised her hands slightly, as if channeling her inner energy, and a powerful aura burst forth from her body.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of sharp blades and throwing knives suddenly rose up behind her. These blades and throwing knives flew rapidly in the air, flashing with a cold light, as if forming a huge net of knives, which made people feel cold at first glance.
The target of this net of blades was Gu Ruyi, and it enveloped her entirely within it.
Faced with this sudden change, Gu Ruyi did not panic, but calmly analyzed the situation.
After all, the consequences of launching such a large number of razor blades would be unimaginable.
This means that even if she were to die, she wouldn't be the only one.
Thinking of this, she smiled indifferently, stretched out her long arm and placed Anxia in front of her, with Qingfeng and Mingyue on her left and right. As for her back, she was wearing protective armor, and she did not believe that there would be any greater damage.
Just when she thought she had everything prepared and that the blades could no longer hurt her,
A long sword, with the force to pierce mountains and rivers, pierced through from behind, straight towards the heart, and rotated 360 degrees twice inside, completely extinguishing any possibility of Gu Ruyi's survival.
She turned her head in alarm, but the intense pain prevented her from even doing this simple thing. However, the people behind her satisfied her curiosity.
"Yes, it's you... I... I'm not... willing to accept this!" With a long sigh, Gu Ruyi breathed her last.
The person walking out from behind was none other than Jiang Ruan, whom everyone thought had lost her memory.
She didn't say anything, but took something out of her bosom and poured it on Gu Ruyi's body. Soon, only faint water stains remained on the ground, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"Ah Ruan, what do we do next?"
Wan Mei sheathed her knife and ran over with a smile.
"Let's get everyone into the rooms for treatment first. We can worry about the rest for now. This is the most important thing."
As they were talking, a loud commotion broke out outside, and soon the security guard who was guarding the gate rushed in.
“Miss Jiang, please go upstairs and see, your father…”
"I can't believe it," said Wang Man, the security guard, impatiently.
"Okay, send some people to carry them up quickly. Wanmei, come with me."
Jiang Ruan was about to leave when she paused beside Gu An: "Rest first. I've already detoxified you. You'll be fine after a rest. Don't worry."
Gu An nodded. Ever since Jiang Ruan appeared behind Gu Ruyi, he had felt much more relaxed, but he was still unable to move normally.
Jiang Ruan led Wan Mei to the door and immediately saw her father, who was being protected by security guards and was unconscious.
"What happened?" Jiang Ruan's voice trembled slightly as she checked her father's injuries.
Wang Man said, "As soon as this group of people came over, they started shouting that they were your father's students or his teachers or something, saying all sorts of things, trying to use their connections to move into the house we built."
We naturally tried to reassure them and told them that housing was scarce and everything was being done according to procedure. But they wouldn't listen and insisted that we were pulling strings.
Sure enough, when Teacher Jiang arrived, they started clamoring for him to open the door. When Teacher Jiang refused, they became rude, saying that Teacher Jiang was unworthy of being a teacher, that he appeared righteous on the surface but was actually hypocritical, and that many of them were just simpletons.
And then...
Wang Man held his breath and said a lot, finally letting Jiang Ruan know the whole story.
After confirming that her father had suffered a stroke from anger, her heart sank. She used her healing magic to cure her father, but then used some anesthetic to keep him from waking up.
After she finished, she let go of his hand and let Wang Man take one of his brothers to lead her father to a pavilion in the security office to rest.
She stood where her father had just stood, coldly watching the people outside the door.
"Hey...you must be Teacher Jiang's daughter. Let me tell you, I used to compliment you on how pretty you were when you were little."
"Yes, yes, I even held you when you were little. You smiled at me back then, and your dad almost made you recognize me as your godfather because of that."
"Oh dear, although I've never held you, your father often mentions you, and I've wanted to get to know you for a long time. Now that I've met you, I feel very close to you."
...
Jiang Ruan was getting increasingly annoyed by everyone's chatter. She sneered and said, "What? You all want a place to stay?"
Everyone thought she felt guilty after hearing these words and was trying to make amends for her father, so they burst into laughter.
Because the sound was loud, Jiang Ruan, who was quite far away, heard it.
It's basically saying she's no better than her father, the whole family are good-for-nothings, and that she got her opportunities and house through some illegitimate means. Some even say she climbed the social ladder by using her body and had improper relationships with high-ranking officials to obtain these benefits.
These whispers reached Jiang Ruan's ears, but she didn't pay any attention to them. She just smiled lightly and then reached out to open a black box.
“I have three keys here. My father was right. Housing is scarce. These are the only three houses I have left. If you move in, you can not only protect yourself from zombies, but also avoid too much loss. I'm sure everyone knows this, which is why they came here.”
The previously noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with interest in the key.
But there are only three keys, and there are dozens of them, which is completely impossible.
