Chapter 2: Be more playful
"Thirteen..."
"We still need two more. Can you send them over first?"
"It's getting harder and harder to catch him now, let me pull him over first!"
…
There were whispering sounds in her ears, and Gu Jinli's mind was in chaos. She couldn't gather her thoughts, and she felt like she was floating in the sea.
Where is this being sent...
She felt as if she was being lifted into a carriage. She unconsciously tried to move her eyelids, but found it difficult to even open her eyes.
Is it going to be sold?
never mind.
At worst, just reload the file.
With this thought in mind, Gu Jinli struggled for a while, but soon fell asleep again with peace of mind.
When she woke up completely, she found herself lying on the ground with her limbs limp. She didn't know whether she had been drugged or her body was just too hungry.
“Hmm…”
Her stomach spasmed uncontrollably. Gu Jinli put her hand on it and then tried to support herself and stand up.
A sour, pungent smell continued to come from her nose, and Gu Jinli held her breath and looked around.
She should be locked in a large black iron cage, which was covered with dark cloth from the outside. Fortunately, the quality of the cage was average and some light could be seen through it. She used this weak light to try to see what was going on inside.
Besides her, there are about a dozen other people here, including adults, children, and some strange-looking monsters and demons.
By this time the effect of the medicine had worn off and everyone woke up. Some looked around vigilantly with their mouths shut, while others cried or cursed loudly.
"Where is this... Daddy, Mommy..."
"Damn it! How dare you lock me up!"
"Who is it? Who hurt me?"
"Bitch, you must have done something!"
…
As more and more people woke up, the complaints and discussions became louder.
The humans were a little better, with most of them just cursing, but the demons and monsters were not so easy to deal with.
They would either grab the people next to them and question them, or smash the cages madly. The timid ones would simply turn into demons and curl up into a ball, emitting a constant stream of miasma around them.
In short, in such a small space as a cage, you can actually see different behaviors of different species, showing all kinds of human life.
"What are you arguing about? It's killing me!"
The noise coming from the cage attracted the attention of the caretakers outside. They walked over and knocked on the iron cage wall through the curtain, cursing impatiently: "A bunch of short-lived ghosts! Why don't you cherish the time you have now! Once you enter the city lord's hunting circle, all of you will die!"
What?
The city lord’s hunting circle?
Gu Jinli frowned, of course he knew this.
This is the traditional way of playing in Gu City. Anyone with a little ability will fence off an open space at home and raise some monsters that like to eat flesh and blood to duel and fight for people's entertainment.
Just like the name of Gu City, the people here enjoy fighting and raising Gu.
The city lord's hunting circle is equivalent to a Gu jar. The fighting between them once a month will select the five most powerful subordinates for the city lord.
In this plot of "first entering the City Lord's Mansion", the heroine, who had not yet awakened her bloodline, was caught in the City Lord's hunting circle, and she survived to the end by hiding.
Later, because of her weak strength, she was thrown by the city lord to her daughter, Nangong Jinyao, as a servant. It was not until a year later that she had the opportunity to secretly enter the secret realm to awaken her bloodline. Only then did she gain a firm foothold and start to kill people everywhere.
So now.
It is known that the heroine has entered the City Lord's Mansion, so the other party will definitely be indispensable in a hunt like this.
In other words, if everything goes well, she will be able to meet the heroine in a while.
hiss……
Gu Jinli couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't help but click on the system panel and look at the tasks and cheat codes again and again.
She was now nervous and frightened, but also had a hint of fearless anticipation and excitement.
After all, this is a character she created. Even though she knew his temperament and how dangerous he was, she couldn't help but feel curious and close to him.
This is the character she created! He was the person who had vented countless emotions and aspirations on her behalf, and was almost the incarnation of her soul...
But when she sees the heroine, should she call her sister, call her daughter, or... call for help?
-
Back again.
This was the first reaction in Shen Chigui's mind after he opened his eyes and looked at the familiar beams.
How many times has this happened?
So many that I can hardly remember.
Ever since she was besieged and killed in her first life, she would always go back to the "past" and meet some strange people with impure intentions.
She had never seen those people before, but they kept clinging to her like a dog-skin plaster, and it never repeated itself every time.
At the beginning, Chen Chi's return was only to three to five years before her death, but after those strange people who called themselves "attackers" died miserably at her hands, her return time became earlier and earlier.
Until now, she has returned to the time when she first entered the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Chigui remembered that he was only nine years old that year and even his bloodline power had not awakened.
Are you so afraid of myself?
Shen Chigui smiled.
Honestly, after so many rebirths, the original desire to "unify the world" and "avenge" has unconsciously turned into how to find those attackers and then humiliate them in every way until they cry and confess everything: their mission, their world, and... about her "creator".
Yes.
As the heroine of this book, Chen Chigui had already fully awakened through the system's repeated file readings.
She saw through the identities of the attackers, and changed from simple killing to various interrogations and tortures. She took pleasure in the attackers' pain, explored their world, and gradually pieced together a truth.
The world I live in is a book, and I am the heroine of the book.
Those attackers were people who had seen her "life story", so they were high and mighty from the beginning, arrogantly thinking that they could control her.
Thanks to their arrogance, Shen Chigui was able to catch them one by one.
Look.
How interesting!
Her world is all fake, and even she herself is just a "heroine" made up by someone who has no idea what exists.
These two light words denied Chen Chigui's entire life.
The fact that everything is denied and all three perspectives are destroyed is enough to make a normal person collapse.
But Chen Chi will not return.
She doesn't care about these things at all, and she won't fall into the boring trap of "Who am I, do I really exist?"
To be alive is to be alive, to be dead is to be dead.
It doesn't matter whether it's true or false.
Shen Chigui was just curious about the origins of those attackers.
What kind of existence would send these attackers from another "real" world over and over again?
What does He want to do?
Who is He? Can he be caught and killed?
Could this "Him" be the "Creator" whom she has never met?
Or is it an existence that even her "Creator" is unclear about?
It’s a pity that the opponent’s ability is really good, so those attackers can’t tell anything about him no matter what, and they can’t find any trace of him even using soul-searching techniques.
She could only wait, until all the attackers were killed, and her time would be running out. What would the other party do then?
"What surprise can you give me this time?"
Covering his eyes with one hand to hide the bright colors in them, Shen Chigui now only cares about one thing.
This time the attacker...
Where will it be?
They should meet soon.
I really hope the other party can be... a little more persistent.
