The appearance of the Exile Zone 1 was not quite what Gu Li had imagined, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed worthy of the word "exile." This place seemed like a forgotten urban-rural fringe area.
The alien city is actually that rural village that everyone has forgotten in some remote corner.
At this moment, the village chief touched his disheveled hair, sighed, and continued walking in the direction the thief had gone.
Even though the person moved unexpectedly fast, disappearing almost instantly, Gu Li walked in one direction without hesitation.
As He Shiyi's proxy, she could almost feel the scent spreading at an unusual speed with her eyes closed.
Gu Li, who originally just wanted to buy building materials discreetly as quickly as possible: ...
She placed her cane on the small leather suitcase in her left hand, her sky-blue pupils reflecting the shadows flashing across the sky. If she walked on top of it, she wouldn't be too conspicuous.
Gu Li turned and disappeared into the alley next to her. Her legs, encased in knee-length shorts and white socks, tensed slightly. Her wings suddenly unfolded, flapped downwards with a roar, and then instantly retracted.
The sudden surge of energy propelled her upwards in a straight line, and just as she was about to clear the rooftop, she reached out and grabbed the railing.
She exhaled, her light-colored eyes scanning the view from the high-rise buildings.
Accompanied by the constant, piercing horn blaring, Gu Li suddenly let go and fell backward, her strong legs hooking onto the rooftop railing.
An oval-shaped, entirely silver-white spaceship whizzed past her, leaving only a rough greeting behind.
"Get out of here, you damn bastard! I've cried out so many times, don't commit suicide by lying on the train tracks, don't lie on the train tracks!!! If you don't want to live, I still have to make a living!!!"
Gu Li silently withdrew his gaze from the spaceship, only then realizing that the edge of the top floor was not a railing, but rather a train track.
She was lying on the tracks just now.
With a blank expression, she hung upside down a thousand meters in the air, pondering whether or not she should go looking for He Shiyi's clone, since there was no harm in it for her anyway.
Let him figure out how to come back himself.
Items that won't be automatically retrieved are worthless.
She thought with a glimmer of hope that no one would be foolish enough to put something like this...
Suddenly, a burning gaze fell upon him. Gu Li followed the gaze and looked through the window, where he met the eyes of a young man lying inside a scarlet magic circle.
Don't misunderstand.
The young man's gaze had become unfocused. What met her eyes was the viscous mist gradually spreading from the strange magic circle, and the eyes hidden within it were greedily watching her.
It's as if you're looking at a delicious dish.
She took back what she had just said; she hadn't realized the outside world had become so sophisticated.
It's everyone's responsibility to make things worse with science, my friend. If this continues and we don't do anything about it, everyone in this building might as well give up if this thing comes out.
Gu Li sighed, slowly pulled her cane from the small leather suitcase, placed her hand, gloved in black rubber, on the glass, and nimbly rolled inside.
The glass she touched had a smooth, rounded opening in the center, just big enough for one person to pass through.
The gloves she was wearing were a perk she received when she was a warehouse manager—gloves that allowed her to precisely cut things apart.
It's easy to use, I love using it, and it's suitable for sensitive skin.
Gu Li had just straightened up when he heard a faint, almost disappearing voice: "Quick...hurry up! The sacrifice...is almost complete..."
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the young man lying in the center of the magic circle was not quite dead yet. After seeing Gu Li struggle to utter those words, blood began to gush from his mouth and nose.
The blood seemed to be controlled by a hand, constantly perfecting the magic array, and the black mist writhing and twisting on the youth's body became increasingly solid.
Gu Li watched with great interest as the black mist surged and things eagerly crawled out from within. Holding her cane and suitcase, she squatted down in front of the young man.
"What are you doing? Would you mind if I looked into it?"
She asked this unscientific and reckless young man very politely.
The young man seemed surprised that she was still there. The veins on his neck bulged, and his face turned pale, making him look extremely terrifying, like a zombie that was about to get up from the ground and devour flesh at any moment.
He was panting heavily, and the blood gushing from his mouth made his words even more incoherent.
"...Gurgle...leave...I...can't control it...I'll die...Gurgle..."
Zhang Heng never expected that staying at home could cause him trouble: the constantly changing decorations in his room, the inexplicable sounds coming from the empty house, and the damp darkness that kept approaching in his dreams.
By the time he finally scraped together enough money to call the police, the thing had already arrived.
When he regained consciousness that day, the wound on his wrist had healed, and he was lying in the center of a sacrificial array made of blood.
The alarm receipt SMS was read aloud by the intelligent voice system.
"...Received...The enforcement team will arrive within three days...Please do your best to survive until the rescue arrives. Thank you for your cooperation."
Screw the three-day deadline!
Lying inside the sacrificial array, Zhang Heng coughed up blood in anger. Had he used all his savings just to have the enforcement team come and collect his corpse?!
He stared at the voice message on the bedside table, his gaze gradually losing focus. His last thought was: Fuck you, give me my money back! I'm going to give you a bad review! I'm going to complain!
This summoning circle was like a slow knife cutting flesh. Sometimes Zhang Heng could feel something approaching, but it would leave for some reason, until the morning of the third day.
Now, something has finally answered the call.
Zhang Heng felt a sense of relief. He had been lying on the ground for a while, and regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he had completely lost feeling in his buttocks!
Zhang Heng just wanted to peacefully face death with his numb buttocks, but he never expected that someone would break into his top-floor bedroom on the 200th floor.
He could feel that person's appearance causing the slowly emerging thing to rush outwards like it had been injected with chicken blood, covering a hundred meters.
As Zhang Heng suddenly bled from his mouth and nose, as if a floodgate had been opened, he suddenly realized something.
Damn it, this sacrificial array has been going on for three days. It's not like being slowly cut with a dull knife, but rather that those damn things are actually complaining about me!
The person who suddenly appeared before it was clearly a delicious meal in that thing's eyes.
Zhang Heng vomited blood again, and feeling heartbroken, he told her to run away quickly.
Gu Li listened to his words and responded softly. After thinking for a moment, she said "thank you" again.
This person is truly courting death, but at least they still have some conscience.
Gu Li fiddled with the communicator on his wrist for a long time, and finally, like an old man who couldn't use a smartphone, he squinted and put the screen in front of the young man.
"Do you know how to take a video?"
Looking at the screen in front of him and that fair and delicate face, Zhang Heng's eyes filled with even more despair.
Oh no, he's a human with a mental problem and weak genes.
Why don't you look up and see what's going on?!
That black mist is practically gnawing at the back of your head!!!
