Chapter 185 One After Another
Gu Ji stood in the blizzard and heard screams coming from the supply station. The screams lasted for a full hour.
Finally, the snow stopped.
The door to the supply station opened.
All I saw was a sea of blood, but the blood slowly disappeared.
Everything is just an illusion within the barrier. The souls imprisoned here have long been tortured beyond recognition.
The Snow Girl walked out the door and sat on the steps at the door.
"He told me." said the Snow Girl.
Gu Ji walked over, didn't answer, and listened to her quietly. Sometimes listening is also very important.
Snow Girl covered her face with her hands, blue tears flowing from between her fingers. She said painfully, "Zhou Zicheng said that he and Tangtang had been flirting for two months. He didn't hold out hope at first. After all, Tangtang was a very outstanding and beautiful girl, and her admirers lined up all the way from here to France."
"She was surrounded by a sea of suitors, including top students, wealthy second-generations, and company executives. Zhou Zicheng's appearance was only above average among them, and his personal ability was almost zero. He didn't expect Su Tang to be attracted by his clumsy tactics. It was only at the end that he realized that it wasn't Zhou Zicheng who approached Tangtang from the beginning, but Tangtang who approached Zhou Zicheng. Zhou Zicheng said he loved hiking and exploring, especially snow-capped mountains."
Zhou Zicheng said this to facilitate the implementation of his plan. He originally wanted to hook up with a rich second-generation man and get money. Many accidents can happen on the snowy mountains, so it is very convenient.
Unexpectedly, Su Tang showed extraordinary interest, and kept praising him. She also said that she had always wanted to try it, but she had lived abroad since junior high school and only returned home during the winter and summer vacations every year. She had never climbed a mountain.
From here on, Su Tang lied.
Because she has climbed snow-capped mountains many times with her family since the fourth grade of elementary school.
Especially Meili Snow Mountain, she has been there at least twenty or thirty times.
"The elves in the snowy mountains were with humans and were discovered by other elves. They tried to stop them and even wanted to kill the humans. They almost sent the humans to hell." Gu Ji continued with what the Snow Girl said.
"You were terrified. To save her, you pretended to climb the mountain with her. You chose the most drastic measure and 'died' in the snowy mountain disaster."
The Snow Girl trembled all over.
Gu Ji sighed, "Su Tang was just in college at that time. She was very happy to receive your invitation. You hadn't seen each other for three years before that. She always thought you were an experienced veteran. After all, every time we climbed a mountain, you could always find a shortcut and get down safely. But that time, the blizzard blew you away, but she survived safely. Snow Girl, Su Tang has been living in self-blame and shadow ever since."
"I'm not blaming you. I believe you want her to be safe. After all, if you've been with her for too long, she'll be chilled and die. I'm just telling you that everyone is different, and not everyone's memories will be diluted by time. She didn't forget you because of time. Instead, she'll always remember you because of the snowy mountains. Later, when her parents passed away, she donated all her family's property without telling the outside world. She had already investigated Zhou Zicheng's intentions when he approached her, but she wanted to give herself a reason to come find you."
After figuring out the truth about the third barrier, this is a story that is both cruel and somewhat sad.
Xue Nu still felt very guilty, but Gu Ji did not feel Su Tang's regret.
She bent down and touched the snow girl's head. She was like Su Tang, and said softly, "I don't regret it. I'm very happy that I made this choice. After high school, my father cheated on me all the time, and my mother was driven crazy by his cold violence. In college, my mother went completely crazy. She tricked my father into a divorce and stabbed him to death with a knife. My father's only conscience was to give all his property to me. At that time, I wanted to die. At that time, everyone wanted to swallow up the money, and me. It was you who invited me to climb the mountain with me."
"Then you died, too. I felt that perhaps my home wasn't in this world, but in another. Snow Girl, I don't blame you for lying to me. I understand your difficulties. My life is too short. Even if we had walked through life together, you would have to watch me die before you. This would be too cruel for you. I don't want you to feel sad for me.
So, I wanted to find you, but I didn't find you. I'm sorry for making you sad for so long, but I was also sad for you for a long time. We are even now."
She opened her arms: "Let's hug, okay?"
The Snow Girl threw herself into Gu Ji's arms. Her tears were very cold, and they made Gu Ji shiver. Fortunately, she held them back.
The so-called Snow Mountain Goddess is just a child who has lost her lover and friends.
Gu Ji didn't want to classify the relationship between them as love. The two lonely souls relied on each other, kept each other warm, and supported each other as they moved forward.
It's just that this road is too short.
The Snow Girl said, "Thank you. I'm sorry, I wanted to kill you before."
"You can't kill me."
"...Yes, I just realized that I can't beat you if we really fight."
But it would waste a lot of her time, Gu Ji thought.
The surrounding scenery began to turn white.
The snow girl gradually disappeared from her arms.
"Master Gu, this is the last barrier. Come back tomorrow night. Go back to the B&B. He has attacked your companions."
-
Inside the B&B.
Xiaoyu and Xiaogonggong were covered in wounds.
Talisman paper figurines were scattered on the ground, and the entire corridor of the inn was filled with strange red and black bloodstains, with bloody mouths gaping in the flickering light.
But there was an endless stream of 'people' who looked just like them on the opposite side. When one died, another came.
Among those 'people', there was a man.
This person's aura was terrifying. Xiaoyu knew that she and Xiao Gonggong could not kill these people.
"Are you tired?" the man in the middle spoke.
He was wearing a wide hat, the brim of which blocked the light and cast a shadow on his face, just obscuring his expression.
But his voice was full of mockery and disdain.
Xiaoyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clenched the gun in his hand. "You deliberately chose to come when the master is not around. What a villain you are."
The man was not angered, but smiled.
His laugh is elegant, and if he's not standing among a group of pseudo-people, his voice is that 'old money laugh' that's become popular online lately.
The laughter was particularly harsh.
"That's not how you should use provocation. If you use it well, it works, but if you use it badly, it just becomes stubbornness. I'm a mean person. I want you all dead, all of you dead. That way, Gu Ji will despair and collapse."
The man actually started to get excited as he spoke, "Ah, just thinking about her despair and collapse and saying she wants to kill me, she'll look so much like her mother, hahahahaha, I'm so looking forward to it."
He raised his hand and directed the pseudo-human, "Go, eat them."
