Chapter 945: Chapter 894: Afterlife Apartments, Free Utilities and Half-Price Rent (Part 2)
Upon closer inspection, only Guiguzi’s name remains among Han Shan’s group.
Gu Mian has encountered Hao Laoshi and Guiguzi in the instance, Fatty has already seen this in the group, so it’s not surprising to see Guiguzi’s name turn gray now.
It has to be said that the world is truly coincidental, he didn’t expect Gu Mian would encounter two acquaintances in a row in the instance.
Thinking of Guiguzi, Fatty sighed, pondering that this person is also troubled, with friends dying around him, he must be very devastated.
As Fatty was thinking, Guigu’s face seemed to materialize before his eyes. He initially thought he had forgotten what the other person looked like, but upon recalling Guiguzi, his image was still vivid.
Until Lu Yi’s baffled voice came from the sofa, "Who’s this?"
Ah?
Fatty looked up towards Lu Yi, only to suddenly realize there were more people in the room.
The doctor came out of the instance? Fatty thought, feeling somewhat delighted.
But soon he realized that wasn’t the case.
"Hao Laoshi?" Fatty widened his eyes, staring at the person by Lu Yi, who also widened his eyes. He recognized Hao Laoshi’s appearance from the Coach Che instance.
Fatty also knew Hao Laoshi and Gu Mian were in the same instance, but hadn’t expected Hao Laoshi to appear here.
"Did your instance end?" Fatty craned his neck to find Gu Mian’s figure but couldn’t find it.
"You... you’re Gu Mian’s fat friend..." Clearly still in shock, Hao Laoshi gaped at Fatty for a while before turning his head to look around, "Where am I?"
"The transfer from the instance might have gone wrong, now we should be at Gu Mian’s side." Fatty heard Guiguzi speak before him.
Only then did he seriously look at Guiguzi before him.
He was startled upon looking at Guiguzi; his left forehead had large burn scars spreading to his left eye socket.
His eyelids seemed to have been scorched by fire, their edges irregular.
At this moment, Guigu took out glasses missing the right lens and wore them, only then did Fatty notice his left hand was missing three fingers.
Guigu’s left thumb, index, and middle fingers were entirely gone, along with a small part of the palm connecting them missing, as if someone had cut it off with a knife, he could only use his little finger and ring finger to hold the glasses and hang them on his ear.
He seemed well-practiced with using only two fingers and did not mind Fatty’s abnormal expression, calmly spoke: "Long time no see, it seems you still remember me."
Upon hearing Guiguzi’s words, Fatty felt dazed.
The Guiguzi in his memory wasn’t like this, when he first saw Guiguzi, the other was still loud and impulsive, now he seemed unfamiliar.
Fatty didn’t know what to say, only dryly responded: "Yes, I still remember you."
Despite wanting to know why Guigu became this way, Fatty was more concerned about Gu Mian’s whereabouts: "If we are out, it means the instance has ended, do you know where the doctor went?"
Guigu nodded: "It should have ended, midway the whole instance plunged into darkness, we found we could move freely, then met Hao Laoshi and your friend Liu Ruyan."
When meeting Liu Ruyan, the player panel was already inaccessible, nothing could be seen in the darkness, but with Hao Laoshi, an introduction could be made.
"Shortly after the three of us met, the instance abruptly stopped, this time without notice, one moment we were in darkness, the next we found ourselves here." Guigu quickly adapted, explaining his experience, "I never encountered Gu Mian, Hao Laoshi said when the instance went dark, Gu Mian disappeared. At that time, your friend with the surname Liu was near him, you might want to ask her."
Fatty immediately directed his gaze at Liu Ruyan: "Miss Liu Ruyan, do you know where the doctor went, Miss 007 is also missing... huh? Are you leaving?"
Liu Ruyan appeared in the living room with Guiguzi and Hao Laoshi, at one point seated beside the door’s floor with her head down, initially caught up by the attention from Hao Laoshi and Guiguzi.
When he looked at her again, he found she hadn’t stood up but kept her bent posture, sneaking towards the doorway.
Fatty suddenly realized that although the hair length was similar, this person’s clothing seemed off compared to Liu Ruyan’s.
"It’s disappointing, at least I waived your rent for so long, after coexisting for this long you can’t tell it’s me, are you judging Liu Ruyan based on hair length?" Liu Ruyan’s sarcastic voice came from outside.
The group turned their heads to see Liu Ruyan standing outside, leaning against the door frame in a pained manner, blocking the quietly sneaking woman.
The woman realized Liu Ruyan intentionally blocked her, knowing she was exposed, decided not to disguise and directly lifted her arm to elbow Liu Ruyan.
But Liu Ruyan was prepared, casually pressed down on the lifted arm, maneuvering the person into the living room, then slammed the door behind.
Only then did the Fortune-teller on the sofa see the woman’s face clearly.
She stood up abruptly: "It’s you?"
"Group three Chess Player, Anzhi Tianlan." After a series of friendly exchanges with Liu Ruyan, Anzhi Tianlan sat expressionlessly in the living room introducing herself.
But this introduction was evidently for other players who experienced the instance.
Fortune-teller ignorant of instance rules couldn’t understand this introduction, she only knew this woman was ruthless, almost silencing her in the love variety show instance.
Liu Ruyan curiously examined her for a moment: "You’re the group three Chess Player, thought it was Renle Mountain."
Who is Renle Mountain? Anzhi Tianlan raised her brows but didn’t reveal her confusion.
"Miss Fortune-teller, do you bear grudges against her?" Fatty asked the Fortune-teller, "Like Miss 007 and Renle Mountain?"
Hearing this, Anzhi Tianlan also glanced at the Fortune-teller, she remembered this person from the love variety show instance where her "Dong’er" identity was exposed, she had intended to kill the Fortune-teller to keep silent but was interrupted by Gu Mian suddenly crawling out from under the room’s bed.
Anzhi Tianlan focused on the Fortune-teller, ready for action.
Evidently, they had a grudge between them.
This was evidently the "Fortune-teller" territory, as soon as she voiced their enmity, the group could rise to subdue her.
Even without a grudge, the plot might evolve this way, since the global game started, Anzhi Tianlan had witnessed many such events.
Players often gained the richest spoils from other lone individuals.
Anzhi Tianlan didn’t wish to become a captive, she still had weapons in her inventory and leverage.
She truly hadn’t anticipated that upon leaving the instance she’d be sent into someone else’s domain, nor that coincidentally group four’s chess piece and Chess Player with Gu Mian’s crew would be acquainted. If they weren’t acquainted, she might provoke chaos and create escape opportunities.
As Anzhi Tianlan contemplated the floor level from the window, pondering whether jumping through the window would be fatal, the Fortune-teller on the sofa shook her head: "No such grudge, just normal friction within the instance, she tried to silence me in the instance, but was thwarted by Gu Mian."
Anzhi Tianlan couldn’t reconcile "normal friction" and "silencing" together, suspecting sarcasm from the opponent.
The Fatty’s subsequent words further baffled her.
"Oh, that’s indeed normal then."
