Gu Bei didn't feel right.
When he woke up from the confusion, he felt a terrible headache. My brain feels like I've been pierced by a needle, and I can't think at all. He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know where he was, and the groggy feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Still, it didn't take him a second time to realize that this wasn't the cot he was used to.
What's the situation?
The surroundings were a little oppressive, the space was smaller than the cubicle he rented, and the dim light teased his eyelids. Not far behind him, the faint sound of water droplets came faintly, making people feel a little tight......
and a muffled voice.
"He seems to be really dead. Annie, you're too heavy!"
It's a female voice with a reproach.
"I didn't mean to, how did I know he was so weak? β
The woman known as Anne said, sounding a little flustered.
"Don't talk about it, it's better to think about how to explain it to Michelle. β
Michelle ...... What are we going to do? Michelle will kill us!"
"Don't let me get involved, it's all your fault, you killed him, and it has nothing to do with me......"
The conversation continued, a little noisy, and the headache was stirring up trouble in Gu Bei's mind. However, after a moment of adjustment, he gradually got used to the pain and regained his basic ability to observe and judge.
He strained his eyes open.
It's a cramped room, like the basement of some suspense movie. It was pitch black, and the torches on the walls were the only source of light. Sticky moss grows in the corners and ceilings, carrying a thick moisture that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Gu Bei tried to move his body.
He immediately found that he was tied to a chair, and his hands were strangled with thick hemp rope behind him.
Not only that, but he also found himself unusually weak.
Somewhat weak.
"What to do...... Michelle...... Oh my God, she's, she's coming!"
The slow but firm sound of high heels interrupted their conversation, and also interrupted Gu Bei's weak struggle.
In the dim light of the fire, a vague figure gradually emerged.
It was a woman wrapped in a wide robe, with a hood covering her face, and it was impossible to see her appearance at all. The dark blue robe covered her tightly, revealing no flaws. Even if it's a dummy model inside, it is estimated that no one will be able to see it.
The reason why Gu Bei knew that she was a woman was entirely because of the sound of high heels just now, and the name "Michelle".
Although he was still in a state of bewilderment, he instinctively told Gu Bei that he should pretend to be dead now.
So, before anyone noticed him, he relaxed and collapsed in his chair, motionless.
Close your eyes tightly, prick up your ears, and follow the development of events.
"Michelle, you're here......"
Anne's voice sounded trembling.
"Wake him up. A muffled female voice came from her robe.
"Michelle, I'm ......"
Anne spoke hesitantly, as if she was considering her own words, but was interrupted at once.
"It's all Annie's fault!" Another woman suddenly called out, her voice was sharp, and Gu Bei's mind was numb when she heard it, "Michelle, it's all Annie's fault, she killed people, and it has nothing to do with me at all!"
Awkward silence.
"Michelle, I ......" Anne tried to argue.
"He's not dead. Michelle interrupted her again.
Gu Bei's breath couldn't help but suffocate.
"What?"
"He's not dead. Michelle seemed impatient, "Wake him up." β
"Ah, yes, yes......"
Gu Bei sat there with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help but shiver. The clothes on his body became wet in an instant, clinging to his skin, sticky and uncomfortable. Gu Bei felt like vomiting.
The woman, Anne, poured cold water on him.
Knowing that he couldn't pretend, he opened his eyes.
"He's not dead!"
One of the women exclaimed, and Gu Bei was finally able to see everything clearly.
There were three people in the room. The two women were dressed exactly the same as Michelle, with dark cyan hooded robes covering their bodies, and their faces could not be seen clearly, which was quite a bit of horror movie charm.
Three robe monsters surrounded Gu Bei, as if some kind of evil sacrificial ritual.
Gu Bei felt a chill down his spine.
"You two can go and rest. Michelle spoke.
The two women nodded and left, perhaps to tear up the complaint for a while.
Gu Bei felt Michelle's gaze return to him, like a poisonous snake staring at his prey. He felt very uncomfortable. But there was no way, in the current situation, he could only lower his eyes and pretend that he didn't see anything.
Michelle didn't speak, and the two confronted each other for a while.
The short period of time seems extraordinarily long.
Finally, Michelle spoke.
"What's the way to open the Vault?"
Gu Bei raised his head: "I don't know." β
"Lord Reese. Michelle sounded not the slightest surprise, "There is no point in resisting, you can go back to the royal capital and be your noble genius, or you can rot in the stomach of a mouse." The choice is yours, and I hope you make the right decision. β
"I'm not Lord Reese, you've caught the wrong person. β
"Your Excellency, my patience is limited. Michelle spoke slowly, but with a strong sense of oppression, "Or, are you not satisfied with the service you just served and need me to bring Anne again?"
β......β
Gu Bei wanted to cry without tears: Eldest sister, I really don't know anything!
After waking up for so long, he probably understood a little.
Before that, in the middle of the night, he was lying on the table, preparing the speech that his boss would use the next day.
At that time, he had been working overtime for half a month in a row, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. Because he was so sleepy, he couldn't hold on and slept in front of the computer. And in the dream, Gu Bei saw the boss in his forties with his underwear on his head, pointed at his nose, and yelled: "Balala energy, transform!"
A buzz in my head.
Then, his memories began in this basement.
It cannot be ruled out that this group of women got nervous and thought that they were some kind of Lord Reeser and kidnapped themselves here. It is not ruled out that the dream was too terrible, which caused great damage to my body and mind, and caused me to hallucinate.
But......
At the moment of speaking, Gu Bei realized that he was not speaking Chinese, but some kind of language similar to English.
I haven't spoken English in years.
Gu Bei is not a fool. He is an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, with unusual dreams - he has also read a lot of online novels. Therefore, in the moment of realizing that something was wrong, he very quickly contacted himself and came to a conclusion.
He crossed.
For some unknown reason, he crossed over to a man named Risser, taking the place of his original owner. However, it was very coincidental that this Lord Reeser was not very lucky, he was kidnapped by several nervous women, and he also suffered some non-erotic torture.
Now, it was his turn to be tortured.
Gu Bei sighed, and mourned that he had been delayed for half a month's salary - he accidentally had an anal fissure while he was skiing, so he didn't come to work.
He must be the most unlucky traverser.
"For the Reeser family, that treasure trove is just a grain of rice in a huge granary. You have thousands of treasures in it, so why should you lose your precious life for such things?"
Michelle may have thought that Gu Bei's sigh was shaken, and began to take the route of following the temptation.
Gu Bei raised his head, looked at the darkness in the other party's hood, and said word by word:
"I, no, know, way!"
He believed that his eyes must be as sincere as a fawn.
But Michelle didn't believe it.
"I'm sorry, Lord Reese. You made the wrong choice. Michelle's voice was so cold from beginning to end, but this time Gu Bei heard a faint killing intent, "I think, maybe you're starting to miss Ms. Anne." β
Gu Bei fought a cold war.
He didn't know what these crazy women had done to the original owner of this body, and he didn't really want to know. Why? Because the original owner of the body was killed by them!
The facts were in front of him, and he didn't dare to doubt the methods of these crazy women to torture people.
At the moment when Michelle turned around, Gu Bei stopped her:
"I ...... I can't tell you right now. β
Gu Bei had no choice. Even if he touched a bad hand, he could only play hard.
Whether he crossed over or not, he didn't want to die.
"Why?"
Michelle didn't turn back, just stopped, turned his back, and asked coldly.
"If you don't keep your promise, I won't tell you, and you won't let me go. Gu Bei tried hard to search for the plots of various movies and novels in his head, and said calmly, "I can tell you the way to open the treasure house, but you must ensure my safety." β
A chuckle came out of the hood.
The atmosphere eased a lot, and Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're smart. Michelle turned, "I wasn't going to let you go." In order not to be hunted down by the Reeser family. As soon as I get what I want, I'll kill you, chop you up into meat sauce and throw it in the gutter to feed the rats, leaving no trace. β
Gu Bei couldn't wait to swallow back what he had said.
β...... Then I won't talk about it. β
"If you don't say it, we'll torture you until you can't stand it. Michelle's voice sounded very perverted, "You can choose to die without pain, which is much better than the other option." β
β......β
It's really a blood mold.
Gu Bei now just wants to dig out the soul of His Excellency Reese, and pinch him by the neck to call him back to his soul, so that he can leave this strange world quickly.
Damn, I'm just a passer-by who makes soy sauce!
"Stupid. β
Seeing that the other party didn't mean to speak, Michelle shook his head and prepared to find someone else.
In a hurry, a thought suddenly flashed through Gu Bei's mind.
"Wait!"
Michelle didn't seem to hear it, and her pace didn't slow down in the slightest.
Gu Bei could only shout with all the strength of his body:
"The treasure house of the Riser family can only be opened by the bloodline of the Riser family. Kill me, you won't want to get it for the rest of your life!"
Michelle finally stopped and walked back in his high heels in a rhythmic manner.
Gu Bei's choked breath at the tip of his lungs finally relaxed.
Only the family bloodline can open the treasure house - this kind of clichΓ© plot setting in the novel, unexpectedly, has become the only lifeline for me at the moment.
There was a moment of silence, but Michelle suddenly spoke:
"You're not of Risser's own blood. β
What the?!
Gu Bei was shocked in his heart, and the hand tied behind him suddenly clenched.
"To the Reeser family, you're just a relative. Michelle's tone seemed to carry a kind of contempt, "Your aunt married into the Rieser family, and you just followed her and got mixed up with a Risser's surname. You don't have any bloodline of the Reeser family at all, and your so-called bloodline opens the treasure house, and even you can't do it yourself. β
β......β
This "Lord Reese" turned out to be just a miscellaneous fish in a big family?
The headache seemed to get more intense.
Gu Bei was a little desperate. What does it mean to lift a stone to hit one's own feet, and what does it mean to dig a pit and jump by oneself, he can be regarded as a thorough experience of it.
There was another way to go, but I ended up blocking it all.
What should I do?
He's only half an hour into his journey, so don't tell him he's going to be in arrears.
Michelle sneered, and then said, "Do you think that I didn't investigate before kidnapping you......"
"Your temptation is meaningless!" Suddenly, Gu Bei interrupted her sharply as if she had changed into a different person, "I am a member of the Riese family, and I have the most orthodox bloodline of the Riser family. What are you suspicious of making up stories like this to test me?"
"You ......"
Gu Bei was aggressive: "If you're afraid that I'll drag on time, it means you're just bluffing." The people sent by the family are about to find them, and if you continue to delay, you will only lose your own life. β
Michelle suddenly lost her voice, as if there was really a dummy in her robe.
Gu Bei let out a few sneers.
Bet right!
If he was just a relative, how could he know such a secret as the family treasury? If he was really just an inconsequential relative, then there was no need for Michelle to kidnap him, right?
Thinking like this, Gu Bei immediately realized that the other party was tricking him.
Michelle must have discovered that something was not right with Gu Bei, the "Lord Reese", so she made up the identity of a relative to test herself. If you take the bait, it will be a dead end. The other party will find out that he is not the real Lord Reese, and he will not be of half use.
But fortunately, Gu Bei is calm enough, and Michelle's temporary identity of relatives is also full of loopholes.
This body that I crossed over by myself is the real bloodline of the Rieser family!
He did what he planned, but instead suppressed this woman who pretended to be mysterious.
"Ms. Michelle, if you really want to open the treasure trove, then I think you need to hurry up. Gu Bei took advantage of the victory to pursue, mocking the other party mercilessly, "The people of the Riser family are not so easy to mess with. β
Silence, long silence.
β...... You win. β
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows playfully.
Michelle's words seemed to pop out between his teeth: "I will take you to the location of the treasury, you open the door for me, and we will keep your distance from you when you open the treasury." Once the door is opened, we won't have time to control you, you will have no room to escape on your own. β
Hearing this, Gu Bei finally pulled out a smile:
"Deal!"
Call......
The big stone that was pressing on his heart was finally put down, and Gu Bei saw that glimmer of life again.
Fortunately, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really the most unlucky traverser.
Others rely on the golden finger to save their lives, but the only thing he can rely on is himself.
However, now is not the time to relax.
Now that the lie has been made up, he has to keep making it up. This mad woman still has to take herself to open the treasure house, and she must find a chance to escape, otherwise the lie will be exposed, and it will still be a dead end.
The game, this is just the beginning.
Gu Bei returned his attention to Michelle.
Seemingly very dissatisfied with Gu Bei, Michelle took a few steps out, and stomped on her high heels extremely hard. She shouted to her "little brothers" into the gloomy corridor:
"Sally, Annie, it's time to go!"
She should have planned to take Gu Bei and his subordinates to evacuate here and go to the location of the treasure house.
However......
Empty hallways, no one responded.
Oh?
It seemed that something had happened, and Gu Bei hid his face gloating.
"Sally Annie?"
Michelle raised his voice, and his calm voice rarely fluctuated.
Finally, a voice came:
"Michelle, something happened!"
Despite this, Michelle still seemed a lot more relieved.
The figure of the hooded robe hurriedly emerged from the shadows.
"The people of the Rieser family are about to come here! Michelle, something is wrong!"
Hearing this, Gu Bei instantly became happy, but soon became a little uneasy.
How should he deal with his unmasked relatives?
On the other hand, if the Reese family catches up, Gu Bei doesn't think that Michelle will let him live.
Headache.
Michelle was unhurried and continued to ask, "Anne, where did Sally go?"
"IβI don't know ......"
"Tell me, Annie, where has Sally gone?"
Anne's voice stumbled, and she must have been very nervous at the moment:
"Sally is gone...... IβI don't know. She said she was going to look around and then she was gone. I think...... I think she must have found someone from the Reeser family and snuck away on her own! Or ...... She may have been captured by the Rieser family!"
Michelle was silent.
Anne stood across from her, and her hooded robe could not hide her panic:
"Michelle, it's time for us to go, if we drag it any longer, we'll definitely get caught!"
But Michelle was silent.
Anne was a little embarrassed by the silence. She is like a tease who desperately tells jokes, but she doesn't answer half a sentence. One minute, two minutes...... The whole scene was so cold that it froze, and the expression on her face was almost unbearable.
It was Gu Bei who broke the embarrassment.
His voice was elongated, with a feigned surprise that felt underwhelming:
"Annie, you killed Sally?"
