Xu Zhaozhao initially thought it was from the Han Dynasty.
They were also relieved that the cameraman carrying the camera didn't catch up with them.
Otherwise, if the incident of Gu Qingyan injuring someone were broadcast live, it would cause a sensation.
Xu Zhaozhao ran and quickly stuck the talisman on the big man's forehead.
He let out a long breath. "Alright, you can log off now."
"Go offline my ass!"
Although the big man was rolling on the ground in pain, he reached out and pulled off the talisman that Xu Zhaozhao had stuck on his head.
"What a bunch of crazy bastards!"
Xu Zhaozhao was stunned.
Fixed NPCs cannot move, hidden hunters are vulnerable to removal spells, and he...
He's not an NPC!!!
Xu Zhaozhao's pupils contracted slightly, and she took several steps back to stand next to Gu Qingyan.
The smell of blood grew stronger.
Xu Zhaozhao then realized that the smell of blood seemed to be Gu Qingyan's.
She looked towards Gu Qingyan.
He remained standing tall in the same spot, fists clenched, his face expressionless.
It looked perfectly normal, if it weren't for the overwhelming smell of blood hitting her nose.
"You...are injured?"
Xu Zhaozhao's voice trembled slightly, a fear she herself was unaware of.
"Of course he's injured!"
The burly man struggled to his feet and pulled a dagger from his waist.
"You stepped into my trap and still managed to get back up... You ruined my plans, so I'll send you all to your deaths!"
Gu Qingyan didn't look at her, but calmly put his hand inside his suit.
She watched as he took out a metal object, which gleamed with a cold, silvery light in the dim environment.
Boom—!
Unfortunately, the weather turned against us; a bolt of lightning struck down, seemingly splitting the darkened sky in two.
A sudden gust of wind blew Gu Qingyan's coat backward, burying half of his face in the shadows.
Click.
The sound of metal clashing, the sound of something closing.
He raised his right hand, his index finger on the trigger, pointing at the burly man who was about to charge.
The silver handle gleamed with a cold light.
The big man blinked and looked around; a dark gun barrel was pointed at him.
"Oh my god!"
His legs immediately went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, sweat pouring down his face from shock.
Want to race it to see who's faster?
Gu Qingyan curled his lips into a smile. "I'll give you ten seconds to get lost."
"ten."
As he counted down, the big man ran in the opposite direction from them as if he were racing against death, his will to survive completely ignited.
In fact, Gu Qingyan didn't have the time to count down for him.
Watching him walk away, she slowly put away what she was holding.
Xu Zhaozhao was completely shocked.
This world is a society governed by the rule of law, right? Isn't this illegal?
How could Gu Qingyan have that? Could he have been arrested and forced to work on a sewing machine?
Countless questions flashed through Xu Zhaozhao's mind, but in the end... Xu Zhaozhao decided to just pretend that she was seeing things.
The smell of blood was still spreading.
Her gaze shifted downwards, but Gu Qingyan's feet were planted on the lush grass, blocking her probing view.
You've fallen into my trap...
Xu Zhaozhao recalled the big man's words and guessed that Gu Qingyan's foot was injured.
No wonder he stood there, motionless.
She crouched down, intending to part the weeds to check his injuries.
The moment her fingers touched the weeds, her arm was lifted up by a force, and the soft grass slid past her fingertips.
Xu Zhaozhao looked up and met Gu Qingyan's gaze, her almond-shaped eyes filled with doubt and worry.
Don't look.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Gu Qingyan finally uttered those two words.
Doesn't she know how to get him out of the trap?
"Why won't you let me see? You're injured."
Xu Zhaozhao tried to reason with him, but she was extremely anxious.
His lips had turned slightly pale due to blood loss.
If the blood keeps flowing, even a god can't save him.
He lowered his eyes, his hand still gripping Xu Zhaozhao's arm, every finger expressing resistance.
"Don't look, it's ugly."
Zhao Zhao doesn't like ugly things.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck down in the distance.
Xu Zhaozhao's body trembled violently, and she almost lost her balance.
But just before the lightning struck, she had already heard Gu Qingyan's words clearly.
She even felt that the thunder that was exploding right next to her ears wasn't so scary anymore.
Gu Qingyan is even more terrifying.
"madman!"
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears.
Gu Qingyan kept his head down, his long, dark eyelashes obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
"Let me go, don't drag me down with you."
Like a needle piercing Gu Qingyan's heart, he subconsciously released his grip on her hand, and Xu Zhaozhao broke free.
His half-clenched fingers trembled slightly, but he ultimately did not stop her actions.
Let's go, don't see me looking so ugly...
The person he thought was about to turn away heartlessly, with lightning speed, pushed aside the weeds covering his wound.
His attention was completely drawn to her cruel words, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to stop her.
It was very dark, and Xu Zhaozhao couldn't see his wounds clearly at first.
However, the inclement weather, which she had always hated, had become somewhat "merciful".
Lightning flashed across the sky, but there was no thunder, providing Xu Zhaozhao with enough light to see what was in front of her.
A rusty trap pierced Gu Qingyan's left calf, leaving patches of blood on his black suit trousers.
Where he stood, bloodstains had stained the yellowish-brown earth red, and the stench of blood filled Xu Zhaozhao's nostrils.
"Madman! Madman! Madman!"
Xu Zhaozhao cursed three times, but tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
That person wasn't an NPC from the show; he was illegally hunting wild animals and was waiting for someone to trade with him.
But today, during the recording of the program, the gate was locked, and he didn't wait for the trader; instead, he bumped into them.
This trap was hidden in the thick weeds, which is why it was able to ambush Gu Qingyan.
Why is she crying?
Why is she crying for this lunatic?!
"How... can I save you?"
Although Xu Zhaozhao tried her best to control the sobbing in her voice, Gu Qingyan still noticed it.
Her fingertips trembled; she dared not touch the trap.
"Zhaozhao, get up, I'll tell you what to do."
His voice seemed to have some kind of bewitching magic, and Xu Zhaozhao subconsciously listened to him.
She straightened up and looked at him again, completely forgetting that her face was covered in tears.
She only snapped out of her daze when Gu Qingyan's slightly cool hand touched her face.
Why are you crying?
Is it because of me?
Gu Qingyan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence.
"Gu Qingyan, what can I do to save you?"
She tilted her head away from his hand and asked in a trembling voice.
"Then kiss me."
Xu Zhaozhao turned her head back and glared at him.
Unaffected by her words, Gu Qingyan continued, "Kissing me is saving me."
