The place they chose to rest was very close to the subway staff's studio.
The door of the studio was tilted to one side, covered in blood stains. Inside, the cabinets, tables and chairs were still tilted, and there were large clumps of dried blood on the ground, making it look messy.
Gu Jiu walked straight towards the fallen table, lifted it up, and bent down to look under it.
Under the dim table, there was a little ghost with its limbs curled up. The little ghost raised its pair of scarlet eyes and looked at her.
"Xiaohui, I'm back." Gu Jiu smiled gently at the little ghost. She stretched out her hand, "Come out quickly~"
Xiaohui crawled out and saw Gu Jiu's hand reaching out. After hesitating for a moment, he put his hand on it and let the human pull the dark ghost under the light.
Gu Jiu patted his head and praised him for being a good boy.
"Xiaohui, I have something for you."
… …
Lu Ji stood aside, watching Gu Jiu gently instructing the little ghost. Not only did he not make a sound to interrupt him, he even took the initiative to move towards the door, trying his best to block the view from outside.
After Xiaohui left, Gu Jiu stretched and said to Lu Ji: "Aji, I want to take a bath."
Lu Ji: "... Sorry, I don't have any bathing facilities here."
He stammered, feeling a little annoyed at not being able to meet her requirements. He realized that he was not well prepared and there was still a lot that needed to be prepared.
Gu Jiu looked at him steadily for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I'm just talking. It's not necessary to wash it. Just wiping it casually will do." Gu Jiu waved her hand. When the environment did not allow it, she was not so pretentious. She would endure what she had to endure.
Lu Ji said "oh" and was still thinking about how to help her take a bath smoothly.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Gu Jiu taking off his coat.
"Ajiu!" He was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look at the window, only to find that the curtains had not been drawn yet.
Gu Jiu took off his coat stained with blood and dust, thinking it was too dirty, and threw it away.
She was wearing a black sleeveless knitted top, casual trousers and a pair of long boots. The slim-fitting trousers showed off her long and beautiful legs.
This outfit is neat and handsome, with big breasts, thin waist and long legs, she is really beautiful and cool.
She turned to Lu Ji and smiled, saying, "Ah Ji, keep watch for me while I change my clothes."
"Change here?" Lu Ji said with difficulty, "Doors and windows..."
"It doesn't matter, just use the cabinet to block it." Gu Jiu said casually, "With you here, no one will come in."
But I'm here!
Lu Ji really wanted to remind her of his existence, but seeing her trusting look, he inexplicably couldn't say it.
He thought that in Gu Jiu's heart, they were both girls and didn't need to care too much about these things. But he was not a girl, and he had ulterior motives towards her. What if she knew that he was actually a man...
Thinking of a certain outcome, Lu Ji felt very tormented.
Otherwise, should he just confess to her directly
Before he could make up his mind, Gu Jiu had already moved the tilted cabinet to another position, creating a space between the cabinet and the wall for movement, then walked in and said to Lu Ji, "Aji, help me guard it."
Lu Ji: !!!!!!
Seeing her starting to change clothes in front of him, Lu Ji quickly turned around and looked vigilantly towards the door and window to prevent any pervert from peeping and taking advantage of her.
There was a rustling sound behind me, which made me think a lot in the quiet space.
Lu Ji tried hard to control his thoughts, not thinking about what those voices meant, and stared straight ahead with his eyes.
"Aji, I'm done."
Gu Jiu fastened her belt and walked out. Seeing Lu Ji standing there in a daze, she called out to him, but when she realized that he didn't respond, she reached out and poked him in the waist.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ji's reaction was so strong that he retreated several meters in an instant, and his back hit the wall with a bang.
"Aji?" Gu Jiu looked at him in astonishment and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Ji realized that his reaction was wrong and quickly said, "I'm fine."
Gu Jiu didn't believe it. He looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Your waist is a sensitive area. Can't I touch it? I'm sorry. I will be more careful next time..."
"No, no!" Afraid that she would misunderstand, Lu Ji said quickly, "I was just in a daze and got startled. It wasn't directed at you." He lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, he quite liked her touch. Wherever her hand or body touched, it felt warm, and he really liked it.
But he didn't dare let her know.
After all, in her eyes, he is just a girl. Even if he has a good reason and is deeply hurt, he cannot cover up one thing.
He cheated on her.
In the past, he didn't think that there was anything wrong with him. In the eyes of outsiders, what did it matter whether he was a man or a woman? He didn't need to care about the feelings of those irrelevant humans.
But Gu Jiu is different.
He didn't want to deceive her.
Perhaps, he should find a time to confess his gender to her first, and then his identity.
If... She couldn't accept his deception, then he...
Gu Jiu quickly accepted his words and asked, "Aji, do you want to change your clothes? I'll be here to protect you."
Lu Ji hummed, but did not move.
"Aji?" Gu Jiu looked at him in confusion, then thought of something, turned around with a smile, and said in a teasing tone, "Don't worry, I won't look at you, don't be shy."
She knew that Lu Ji was easily shy. Although it didn't show on his face, his little ears would always reveal his mood.
Lu Ji didn't say anything.
He looked at her back, so close that he could touch her if he just stretched out his hand.
If she knew his gender and identity, and could not accept his deception, or even could not accept him and drove him away, then he would follow her secretly, stare at her, and not allow anyone to approach her.
The worst outcome would be to take her to the Dark Palace and prevent her from leaving it forever.
Anyway, if he wanted to, he could completely avoid letting her know of his existence.
But it was impossible for him to give up her.
At worst, all those game worlds will be destroyed.
… …
Lu Ji changed into clean clothes and walked out of the studio with Gu Jiu.
As soon as they went out, they saw Chai Yingying waving at them and asking them to come over.
Many facilities in the subway station have been destroyed. Players piled them in a corner to clear out an open space, on which they placed a lot of things, making it look like a temporary camp.
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji walked over and saw Lao Hei and the others were having dinner.
"Would you like a box of lunch?" Chai Yingying asked, holding the lunch box.
"No need, we have." Gu Jiu took out a lot of lunch boxes from his bag and asked Wan Xingzhou and Wu Yang to distribute them to those who didn't have lunch boxes.
Although Chai Yingying also brought a lunch box, when she saw Gu Jiu take it out, she quickly grabbed one. When she opened it, she smelled the steaming food and threw her lunch box aside.
Look at the lunch box prepared by the chef of a five-star hotel by the young lady, and then look at the one you just packed, which is like the ten-dollar ones sold on the roadside.
Anyone with a normal sense of taste would know which one to choose.
Chai Yingying was also very hungry. She ate her meal while secretly observing Gu Jiu and Lu Ji.
She is a gossipy person, and she wants to get Lu Ji and Gu Jiu to join them. She is very concerned about the progress of their relationship and is afraid that there will be problems in their relationship. If they choose to go their separate ways, she will suffer a great loss.
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji sat together.
When the two of them were eating their lunch boxes, Lu Ji naturally gave the red wine beef in the lunch box to Gu Jiu, and then took away the colorful peppers used as decoration in her lunch box - the eldest lady didn't like to eat colorful peppers.
He gave her whatever she liked to eat unconditionally.
He helped her eat the food she didn't like.
Chai Yingying couldn't help but hum in her heart, what a fairy-tale love! It seems that these two are locked together. I hope it will last a long time, so that she will have two powerful helpers in the future.
"Sister Chai, how do you know Boss Lu?" Li Jing asked.
Many people present were curious about this question.
Chai Yingying swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "You all know that I want to earn points, so I often take C-level missions. I heard about Boss Lu from other Pathfinder players by chance. To be on the safe side, I also learned about Boss Lu's appearance and characteristics. I recognized him the moment I saw him." She took a sip of water. "Don't be fooled by his decent appearance. He is actually a beast in human clothing. Bah, calling him a beast in human clothing and praising him is worse than a beast!"
"As we all know, the way Pathfinder players pass the level is to use any means necessary and do many unjust things, which has always been resisted by normal players. So they banded together to form an organization called 'Reversers', which means that everything they do is against the will of heaven."
Hearing this, everyone present felt sick.
What about "retrogrades"? In the real world, retrogrades refer to those great and respectable people, but when it comes to these Pathfinder players, they destroy this impression.
"What retrograde? So shameless!" Wan Xingzhou couldn't help but curse.
Chai Yingying continued, "Each level of this group of retrogrades has a boss. Boss Lu is the boss of the C-level Pathfinder players. If we move up to the B-level field in the future, we will also encounter B-level Pathfinder players in the B-level field."
As he was speaking, a scream suddenly rang out.
Everyone was startled, thinking that danger was coming again, and they stood up suddenly and looked towards the source of the sound.
The scream came from the left.
The pathfinder players who were resting over there became agitated, and then they fled in all directions. However, no matter how they fled, they could only move in the area on the left.
Soon, they saw clearly what these pathfinder players had experienced.
A group of miserable ghosts appeared from nowhere and chased the exploratory players. The exploratory players wanted to escape but were trapped in that place with nowhere to escape.
Why does this situation look so familiar
Lao Hei and the others were a little confused and looked at Gu Jiu subconsciously.
Gu Jiu just glanced at it casually, unmoved, and continued to eat her meal, putting all the dishes she didn't like into Lu Ji's lunch box, as if no matter how big the matter was, it couldn't disturb her from eating.
What the Pathfinder players are experiencing is clearly what they experienced last night.
Lao Hei and the others all remembered the ghosts that were chasing the Pathfinder players. They had also chased them last night. The ghost lady with a body broken in two, the skinny ghost uncle with a hunchback, the male ghost whose legs were connected to his body only by a layer of skin, the female ghost whose intestines were flowing out of her stomach... all left a deep impression on them.
Looking at the reactions of those scouting players, it was clear that they were pulled into different spaces and could only escape within a certain range.
"Is there a ghost at this station?" Chai Yingying and others became alert.
Those unaware players looked around cautiously, ready to fight at any time.
Ten minutes later, the ghosts were still staring intently at the scouting players, with no intention of coming to attack them. They didn't even look in their direction, as if they didn't exist.
The contrast is so stark that it makes people feel a little weird.
"Well, could it be that those ghosts have a grudge against the Pathfinder players, so they don't come to hunt us down?"
"Is it possible? In Death Train, players and ghosts are in opposition. The ghosts hate players equally and there is no way they will let us go!"
"So what do you say about this situation now?"
… …
Lao Hei said with certainty: "This was done by Xiao Hui! Gu Jiu, right?"
His teammates looked at Gu Jiu with sparkling eyes. They thought Xiaohui had run away long ago, but they didn't expect that Xiaohui was still at Station 18. Even without using the bewitching smoke, he still listened to Gu Jiu.
When I left yesterday, Gu Jiu said that she had a way to make Xiaohui obedient, and I didn’t expect it to be true.
