Chapter 905 Female Star Fortune Teller
"Disappeared..." Gu Mian knew that if the player died, his nickname would disappear from other people's friend lists.
So the friend in Guigu may be dead.
But this was too abrupt. One second they were talking about how safe and happy they were in the hanging city, and the next second no one was there. Looking at it this way, the upside-down city is really weird.
Moreover, Guigu’s friends said that there are many people above, and they are all players. They don’t know where these people come from. Are there so many people in the upside-down city near their apartment?
"Before my friend went to the Upside Down City, he asked me to add a few high-level friends at their base. He said that if he couldn't contact him after going to the Upside Down City and had anything to do, he could go to the other high-level officials.
< br>
"Actually, even if something happens to the two bases so far apart, there's nothing he can do to help. I know he just doesn't want the two bases to lose contact. Bases like ours in the apocalypse are like a child alone in a dangerous night. You know Having companions makes you feel more at ease, even if they are thousands of miles apart;
"After I couldn't contact him, I immediately went to my friend list to find several other senior officials in his base..." At this point, a strange expression appeared on Gui Gu's face, and he paused for a while before continuing: " But everyone was gone... They were all gone from my friends list."
Hearing this, the fat man took a breath: "This is a bit too evil. You also said that the only one who boarded the Upside Down City was your friend. Even if something happened in the Upside Down City, it would only be your friend who was affected. How come those people on the ground also disappeared?”
Fatty even suspected that that group of people had deleted Gui Gu's friends together.
Gui Gu looked a little tired: "I don't know, I'm not even sure if they disappeared at the same time. It's just that after I found that I couldn't contact my friends, I went to find other senior officials in the base, but I found that they also disappeared from the list. They disappeared without a trace. To this day, I don’t know where they went. I don’t know if they entered the Hanging City together or if something unexpected happened.”
The fat man was puzzled: "Could this upside-down city still affect people on the ground? Or was it actually the day your friend lost contact that the upside-down city suddenly expanded and enveloped nearby bases?"
< br>
"I have also thought about this possibility, but even if people in the base arrived in the Upside Down City, they could communicate with me through the friend function, but they disappeared from my friend list that day as if they had evaporated." said this The words made Gui Gu struggle a little, looking absent-minded.
A puzzled look appeared on the fat man's face: "Yes, your friends can still send messages to you outside after boarding the Upside Down City, so even if everyone enters the Upside Down City, they will not lose contact with you. ”
Just as he was thinking puzzledly, Gu Mian suddenly said: "What day of the week is that day?"
What? Fatty didn't understand what day Gu Mian was asking about.
After hearing this question, Gui Gu's body suddenly stiffened, with a complicated expression on his face, clearly understanding what Gu Mian was asking.
Seeing Gui Gu's expression, Gu Mian knew that he had the same guess as hers: "What day of the week was the day you found out that your friend and the base's senior management lost contact? Judging from your expression, you should remember it clearly."< br>
Gui Gu crossed his hands into fists and put them between his eyebrows. This action made it difficult to see his expression clearly. After a while, his voice came out from the shadow cast by the overlap of his hands: "It's Zhou Day, the seventh day after my friend landed in the Hanging City.”
Chu Changge, who was next to Gui Gu, also spoke: "It's obvious that your friend wants to explore the Upside Down City alone for a few more weeks out of caution, but other people in the base can't wait any longer. They think the base The high-level delays are deliberate.”
Chu Changge glanced at Gui Gu as he spoke. He saw that the other person's body was trembling slightly but there was no surprise on his face because of these words. Chu Changge continued to speak.
"Someone incited people in the base and spread rumors to incite people to ignore the obstruction of the higher-ups. The safe island is right in front of them. How could ordinary people resist such temptation? So they either threatened or kidnapped the higher-ups of the base who were in the way, and cleared their way to the base. A stumbling block on the way to the Hanging City.”
Gu Mian knew that Chu Changge had already spoken tactfully.
Threats and kidnappings are not enough to remove a person's name from their friends list, only death can.
As for why Gui Gu's friend who boarded the Upside Down City also lost contact with him, it was most likely that he realized what happened in the base and had a conflict with the people in the base who boarded the Upside Down City.
Gui Gu remained silent, but his body was trembling slightly.
He must have thought about this possibility, but he didn't want to admit it.
"You should have thought about it a long time ago, why you deceived yourself." Chu Changge's words were quite direct. "Didn't your left hand with three broken fingers and the burns on your face already give you the answer? Some things will What happens to you will happen to others, what happens the first time will happen the second time.”
Chu Changge didn't know if he had eaten gunpowder today. He was full of gunpowder. Seeing that Gui Gu next to him was about to cry if he asked him to continue, Gu Mian quickly asked the fat man to take Chu Changge downstairs for a walk.
Realizing that something was wrong, the fat man quickly stood up, put his arms around Chu Changge's shoulders and pulled him up: "Brother Chu! Brother Chu! I see that the grass in the green belt on the roadside outside is growing well. Let's go and enjoy it together."
After that, he forcibly took Chu Changge out to admire the grass in the green belt.
After the two walked for a while, Gui Gu came out of his depressed mood. He gave Gu Mian a forced smile: "I'm sorry, I just made you laugh."
After a pause for two or three seconds, Gui Gu continued: "Chu Changge is right. I have indeed thought that what he said may have been just because I haven't dared to believe it. I would rather believe that there is something wrong with the Hanging City. How ridiculous it is to think that they were killed by their own people. Instead of dying in dungeons and activities, they died at the hands of the people behind them.”
Gu Mian could understand that Gui Gu and his friend were playing almost the same role. He didn't dare to think about it because he was afraid that one day he would end up with the same ending.
"But before you came to me, did you never think about leaving the base?" Gu Mian looked at the hideous scars on his face, and then at his left hand with only two fingers left.
Gui Gu also noticed Gu Mian's gaze, and he gently covered his incomplete left hand with his right hand: "When only the last two of us died in the dungeon of the Li Gui Expo, Han Shan told me about letting me leave. ;
"It's just that I'm reluctant to leave there. My friends sacrificed their lives for that base. If the base is destroyed in the end, wouldn't their deaths be in vain? Then all the previous efforts will be meaningless;
"I think I'll just stay there and wait until that base is swallowed up together with my flesh and blood. Then I won't have to think about meaningful or meaningless things anymore."
Gu Mian felt that Gui Gu's problem was very serious. The scientific name of this symptom before the global game started was "depression", and he needed professional psychological guidance to let him open up. As a doctor, Gu Mian could make people open their skulls, but not their hearts.
At this time, Fatty had come back from downstairs, but not with Chu Changge.
"We met Xiaohong on the road, so we asked Brother Chu to sneak Xiaohong away." Fatty explained while secretly glancing at Guigu with his eyes. When he saw that the other party was in a normal mood, he continued, "I'll come back to see what you have here. You want my help.”
Gui Gu felt that he had stayed with Gu Mian long enough, so he stood up to leave: "Then I'll leave first... If you want to go to the Upside Down City, can you take me with you to see it?"
Gu Mian said that if she went, she would take him with her, and Gui Gu turned around and walked out of the room.
When Gui Gu's figure disappeared completely, the fat man spoke to Gu Mian in a low voice with lingering fear: "I was scared to death. Fortunately, I took Brother Chu and left early. Otherwise, I don't know what Brother Chu will say next. Come on, Brother Chu has become more and more direct in his speech recently. I feel like he is in a bad mood recently.”
Chu Changge has been silent most of the time recently. He finally managed to break out such a long sentence today but it was not very popular.
Gu Mian scared Fatty: "You'd better keep one eye open when you sleep these days, otherwise Chu Changge will kill you if he's in a bad mood in the middle of the night."
The fat man may have imagined the scene of Chu Changge standing beside his bed with a knife, and he shuddered with fright: "How can that be possible? Brother Chu will definitely not be willing to kill me... But doctor, when are you going to hang me upside down?" Look over there in the city, I’m afraid there will be too many dreams during the long nights.”
Gu Mian looked at the sky outside the window. At this time, the sun had set and it was going to be night.
"Now is obviously not a good time to explore, let's do it tomorrow."
"Doctor, do you plan to just look down there and not go up." The fat man said and looked at the calendar. Today is Thursday.
He was quite afraid that Gu Mian would get mad and drive to the Hanging City, leaving a whole apartment of people to mourn for Gu Mian.
"I don't plan to go up yet." Gu Mian replied.
The fat man was shocked: "You mean you can go up there later?"
Fatty always felt that if Gu Mian went to the Hanging City, he would never come back, so he would dream about it every night. That night he dreamed of two versions. One version was that Gu Mian was going there by train. The train fell in mid-air on the way to the Upside Down City. The second version is that as soon as Gu Mian arrived at the Upside Down City, the city fell out of mid-air and fell apart.
The fat man was so frightened in his dream that he broke into a cold sweat. When he finally woke up from the nightmare, it was already noon the next day.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he jumped up and looked at the hanging city outside the window. He was relieved when he saw that nothing happened there.
Then he looked for Gu Mian in the house, but couldn't find it. He only saw Chu Changge sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He asked Chu Changge: "Brother Chu, where is the doctor?"
Chu Changge turned his head and looked at the upside-down city outside the window. His meaning was very clear: "If nothing else happens, we have already reached the bottom by now."
This is the first time for Guigu to observe the upside-down city up close.
This is the south of Lianhua City, and half of the city here has risen into the sky. From a close distance, the land in the sky looks so huge, like a giant beast that covers the sky and the sun. On the ground below the Hanging City is a huge black hole with no edges, which was left behind after the ground rose to the sky.
"Only when I got closer did I realize how big this hanging city is." A voice came from behind. Gui Gu looked back and saw the girl who always held a lottery bucket in her hand walking next to her. At this time, she The bucket in his hand shook, and a stick jumped out of the bucket and jumped to the ground.
The fortune teller knelt down and picked up the sign on the ground and looked at it. The ground they were standing on was already covered by the shadow cast by the hanging city above, so it was a bit difficult to read the black words on it. She carefully looked at the words on the sign in her hand. : "It's still the same as before, I got the lucky draw."
"It's just that you need to prepare a lot for this unexpected surprise." Gu Mian's voice came from the other side.
Gui Gu looked up in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Mian, who had just parked his car and was walking over, and the female celebrity following behind him.
Xiao Qiao was not treated like a female star at all. A large bundle of rope was hanging on her left shoulder, and she was holding a big hammer and several long nails in her right hand.
There are four people coming this time. Gui Gu said yesterday that he wanted to come and have a look. The fortune teller made a prediction and said that coming here today will bring unexpected joy, so she also came, but she also divined today. There may be rock climbing activities that require rock climbing tools to be prepared in advance. Gu Miansui prepared a large bundle of ropes and tricked Xiao Qiao into being his porter.
Gui Gu was a little puzzled, wondering if the rock climbing activity that the fortune teller meant was climbing directly from the ground to the hanging city above?
He looked up at the large patch of ground that covered the sky, trying to find a way to climb up. It's a pity that the hanging city is completely independent and suspended in the sky, thirty stories above the ground, and there is nothing around it that can be used for rock climbing.
Not far away was a station-style building. Gui Gu walked a few steps to the station and saw a sign hanging inside with three lines of words written on it.
[Sunday at midnight: Hanging City→Lianhua Station]
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[Sunday at 0:10: Lianhua Station → Upside Down City]
【One round trip per week】
The departure time was the same as what his friend had described, but it was Friday and the train station was empty. It would take two days before a train would come down from the Hanging City.
The fortune teller not far away was looking up at the upside-down city above his head: "When you are far away, you can still see the shadows of the buildings above, but when you get closer, you find that it does seem like a group of mosaics on top that you can't see clearly."< br>
There are a few moving shadows on it, they should be people who were brought up when the Upside Down City took off.
The fortune teller raised her head and stared at it for a while before she felt her neck was a little sore. She rubbed her sore neck from keeping her head raised: "The city above is completely separated from the ground, and there is absolutely no possibility of climbing. ”
Just when the diviner was wondering if his fortune-telling was wrong, Xiao Qiao walked past her and came to the deep pit not far ahead. He squatted and looked down: "There is someone."
ah?
The fortune teller was startled by Xiao Qiao's words, and she took two steps forward to the pit and looked down, but she saw nothing, and her eyes were filled with boundless darkness.
"You said there is someone here?" She confirmed with Xiao Qiao again.
Xiao Qiao nodded.
"Did you see it?"
Xiao Qiao shook his head.
Gu Mian had long noticed something unusual here. He came to Xiao Qiao and asked, "Do you feel there is someone down there?"
Xiao Qiao answered "Yeah" very definitely
The fortune teller's forehead twitched. Why would Xiao Qiao only nod or shake her head when I asked her a question, but when Gu Mian asked her a question, she would speak openly.
Gu Mian was already familiar with Xiao Qiao's special sensing function. She could sense the fake Chu Changge during the dragon boat rowing activities, so it was not surprising to sense someone in this bottomless hole now.
Gu Mian glanced into the abyss at her feet. The pit left by the Queen of Heaven in the Upside Down City was extremely dark. It seemed to be filled with thick black water. Nothing could be seen looking down with the naked eye.
"Give me the most powerful flashlight." Gu Mian reached out to the fortune teller.
Almost every player has a flashlight. Dark environments are the norm in horror dungeons. If you don't have a flashlight inside, you're almost blind.
However, most ordinary players choose flashlights with low power, just to illuminate the environment near them. A flashlight that is too bright will easily be noticed by ghosts in the dark. A high-power flashlight is like a provocation, just like writing "Come and chase me" on your forehead.
Gu Miancai didn't care about provocation or not. He chose his favorite flashlight in the supermarket. The high-power flashlight was also very huge, almost as big as the big hammer in Xiao Qiao's hand.
When the salesperson introduced this flashlight to Gu Mian, he said that when turned on at night, the surrounding area could be illuminated as brightly as during the day.
Gu Mian turned on the flashlight in the apartment and tried it out in the middle of the night. Fatty was woken up by the bright light in the middle of the night and thought it was dawn, so he got up from the bed to make breakfast.
Coco took out the flashlight that Gu Mian had stored in her inventory and gave it to him. She was still thinking about why Gu Mian bought such a bulky flashlight - she didn't know the power of this flashlight yet.
Gu Mian held the flashlight and pointed it at the abyss below and pressed the switch.
At this moment, the fortune teller himself seemed to have become the star on the stage, with countless cameras taking pictures around him with flash lights on. Her eyes were filled with a large expanse of pure white, and she felt her head was dizzy and she fell to the side.
At this time, a hand pulled her back to a balanced state. The fortune teller sat down on the ground and shook his head vigorously before the surrounding scenes reappeared in front of his eyes. Gu Mian was seen holding a flashlight in one hand and shining it downwards, while the other hand was free to pinch her shoulders: "Be careful, you almost fell."
This is all the fault of your flashlight, the fortune teller cursed in his heart.
She also wanted to complain about Gu Mian's flashlight, but she saw Gu Mian and others staring intently in the direction of the cave without blinking.
Is there really something down there? The diviner was doubtful and turned to look in the direction where the three of them were looking.
Then she opened her mouth.
The light of the flashlight illuminated the stone wall below, and she saw dense holes carved into the illuminated stone wall. The combination of those irregular holes looks a bit like a honeycomb at first glance, but it is not that dense.
The cave formed by the Queen of Heaven in the Hanging City was too big. Although Gu Mian's flashlight had high power, it could only illuminate a nearby area, and all the illuminated stone walls had such irregular openings.
"Isn't this a natural phenomenon?" Gui Gu took a deep breath and took a step back. He always felt that something would crawl out of those holes.
The fortune teller saw that the nearest hole to them was directly below where she was sitting, only three or four meters away from the ground. She tried hard to poke her head into the nearest hole to see what was inside. The fact told her that hard work would always pay off.
She saw a face flash past the hole.
Seeing this, the fortune teller shivered in fright and couldn't help but cursed. Fortunately, Gu Mian still held her shoulder with one hand to prevent her from falling due to her excitement.
"There's a ghost inside!" The fortune teller who was pulled back by Gu Mian hurriedly took a few steps back, dancing and describing the scene he just saw, "I saw a face flashing past the hole three or four meters below us. .”
The fortune teller patted his chest with lingering fear. Is there anything scarier than seeing a ghost in the real world? Well, although she often sees Xiaohong in the apartment, Xiaohong is not a ghost at all in terms of danger.
Gu Mian thought for a while and then said: "Didn't you say that there will be an unexpected surprise when you come here today? The face below is the unexpected surprise you divined?"
The fortune teller was on the verge of tears: "I don't know why this happened." No matter how you say it, meeting a ghost can't be considered an unexpected surprise.
"You predicted that we would use rock climbing supplies today, but now it seems that these rock climbing supplies are not used to climb up the Hanging City." Gu Mian looked at the rope hanging on Xiao Qiao's shoulder.
The fortune teller immediately understood the intention of Gu Mian's words: "No, you want to go down?"
Look, everyone, it’s Gugu who was diligent at the beginning of the year. Can he be as diligent as he was at the beginning of the year this year? (Thinking jpg)
