After many days, Gu Chu logged into the gray net again.

...

【One Leaf Boat】: Has your mission book changed?

[Kill 100,000]: Do you mean numbers?

[Live the next time]: Do you have them too? Damn, I thought that Lao Tzu's golden finger was late, but he still studied it for a while.

...

After a period of time, some numbers in this small group have turned gray and are not online. don’t know if they haven’t logged in yet or have disappeared forever. Some familiar numbers are still active, and a few more were not in the group before. newcomer.

After skipping some useless conversations, Gu Chu finally saw the topic he cared about.

She has always been thinking about the number that appeared inexplicably in the mission book this time, which was never seen before.

【One Leaf Boat】: Do you all have the same numbers?

[Little Prince]: What number? What are you talking about?

【One Leaf Boat】: Xiao Wang, how long have you been in the story?

[Little Prince]: It's been more than two months, what happened?

【One Leaf Boat】: I entered the story at 10:47 this morning, the number on the task book is 6

For every reader, the time in the real world after entering the story is stagnant, when you enter, and when you come out.

Gu Chu came out of the story in the afternoon of two days ago, but after he came out of the story, he was busy with the case of Sealed Gate Village, which delayed a little time.

[Kill 100,000]: I was around seven o'clock last night, the number on the task book is 7

[Live the next time]: I just received the forecast, I guess I will go in soon, I don't know if I can come out alive, the number that appears on my mission book is 5

[Live]: What exactly do these numbers mean, it seems to be related to the order of entry into the story.

[Kill 100,000]: Does it represent difficulty? Is there a new trick for 100,000? Damn, I will blow his mother's chrysanthemum sooner or later, this stupid thing is driving me crazy, I am not a ghost now, I live like a mouse in the gutter, my mother is my only son, but I am now I didn't dare to see her, so I could only send her to the nursing home. I didn't dare to get too close to her, and I didn't even know if she was bullied by the nursing staff in the nursing home, f*ck! Sometimes I think I might just die, but when I die, who will pay my mother for medical treatment?

The words of killing 100,000 made the group become silent all of a sudden, no one left a message to comfort him, let him mourn, and let him think about it, because everyone in this group lives a similar life to him.

They obviously gained extraordinary abilities because of 100,000, but as long as there is humanity and weakness, everyone will be grateful to "100,000". For each of them, "100,000" is a poisonous snake lurking around them. It is necessary to be on guard against "100,000" targeting anyone around them who cares about them, and drag those people into this game.

Because of this worry, they can only get away from their original living environment, away from their families, away from their lovers, and away from their friends.

But they are human beings after all. To completely separate them from their past emotions is a kind of torture in itself.

"There has been a new change in "One Hundred Thousand". When I entered the story this time, there was a number on the task book. I consulted other readers. This number seems to be decreasing according to the order of entering the story. The number is five."

Gu Chu took the fat house water handed over by Lin Mo, and the cold carbonated sweet water brought joy and excitement to the stomach.

"Did such a change ever occur in your era?"

Lin Mo sat on the lazy sofa that he had bought with a huge sum of money in 199, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head.

Gu Chu's expression was slightly serious, and the distance between his eyebrows was slightly tufted. Looking at her expression, Lin Mo thought of an Internet celebrity starling who was following on the Internet, with a wrinkled face, funny and cute.

At this time, Gu Chu didn't notice his teasing smile, but kept thinking about the purpose of this string of numbers.

Never before...seems to shrink with each new story...

It's like a countdown!

Gu Chu's eyes widened, holding Lin Mo's hand, and the distance between the two instantly shortened.

"Before, in the tomb where you were buried, I saw you holding a book on the fresco. It seemed that the word "God Book" was vaguely engraved on it."

Also because of this, when Gu Chu communicated with Lin Mo, they occasionally used "Sacred Book" to refer to "One Hundred Thousand". She always thought that in Lin Mo's time, the name of "One Hundred Thousand" was "Sacred Book".

She seemed to have fallen into a strange circle of thinking, because there is a very famous popular science book "One Hundred Thousand Whys" in modern times, and she subconsciously felt that the name was a product of modern times. In Gu Chu's opinion, it is normal for that thing to be named after any name. Since that has nothing to do with its kernel, it can have thousands of names.

But now it seems that this is wrong. If it has only one name from beginning to end, then this name has no purpose.

Gu Chu's eyes were a little hot, and Lin Mo's heart skipped half a beat when he saw it. He always liked to take advantage of Gu Chu verbally. It was the first time that a man who wanted to call someone a good daughter because of his good father felt that the distance between them was so close to him. Some are at a loss.

He pulled off Gu Chu's hand, and leaned his entire body back on the soft lazy sofa.

"Isn't this book called "One Hundred Thousand Whys" in your time?"

Gu Chu didn't care about his little gesture, but insisted on asking.

Yes, the existence of "One Hundred Thousand" cannot be told to anyone who has not been in contact with it, and it cannot be spread by any means such as text or video. In this case, how could Lin Mo instruct the craftsmen to display it in the murals of his mausoleum. , and put its name on it.

Unless at that time, "Book of God" was not its name, Lin Mo just used this title to refer to "One Hundred Thousand".

Sure enough, Lin Mo's nodding proved Gu Chu's guess.

"This series of numbers is very likely to be the final countdown."

Gu Chu came to a conclusion, and then most of the strength of the whole body was evacuated, partly because of the shock and trembling at this conclusion, and partly because of the calmness that the dust was about to settle.

She drank most of the remaining ice Coke in the can in one breath.

"You mean, "One Hundred Thousand Whys" refers to one hundred thousand stories. After the hundred thousand stories are completely answered, that thing is very likely to disappear completely!"

Lin Mo instantly understood Gu Chu's thoughts. At this moment, he didn't care about the Plan S in his heart just now. He got up from the lazy sofa and stood in front of Gu Chu.

"There is another possibility, that is, after 100,000 stories are completely answered, its purpose is finally achieved!"

Gu Chu connected with his words.

The result may not be positive. Gu Chu and Lin Mo looked at each other, and both saw the firmness in each other's eyes.

In fact, many of them have already guessed this clue.

Gu Chu remembered the answer Lin Mo gave when she first took the initiative to ask Lin Mo why "One Hundred Thousand" kept looking for readers to enter different stories.

"It's making a god, a god infinitely close to its source power."

At that time, Gu Chu's understanding of this sentence was still relatively weak.

In fact, it is not only Lin Mo who gave a similar answer. Gu Chu has also heard of the so-called "creation of gods" in the mouths of others.

Many readers feel that only by becoming the person closest to God can they completely get rid of the control of "One Hundred Thousand", and the most typical case is the Fair Society.

The Fair Society has always worked hard to create readers who are closest to God, and will do whatever it takes to kill any non-Fair Society members who might threaten their goals.

Over the years, the rumored reader who is closest to the source of God's power is Gu Chu's most familiar and unfamiliar relative, her brother Chu Xiangru.

But her brother disappeared, and Gu Chu was involved in "One Hundred Thousand", and her brother's disappearance is also inextricably linked.

After finally meeting her brother in the previous mission, Gu Chu dispelled the guess that the other party might be killed, but she was also more inclined to the idea that her brother hid himself to avoid the enemy. Now it seems that there may be other reasons.

"Lin Mo, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can tell me the truth."

It seemed that he felt that his attitude was too strong, so Gu Chu softened his tone again, "For the sake of the taro ball milk tea I bought for you just now."

"This is half price for my second cup..."

Lin Mo's eyes were full of resentment, he was no longer the ignorant stiff before.

"You are the first cup, I am half price."

Gu Chu's mind turned quickly, and her answer made Lin Mo's expression much happier, and his chin was slightly lifted, revealing the dignity of the respected holder of the first cup of milk tea.

"Just ask."

The current Gu Chu is indeed qualified to hear more secrets than when he first met, and there are some things, even if he doesn't tell her, she can guess by herself, it just takes more time.

"Why did you choose to seal yourself?"

Not only was he betrayed by the people he once cared for, so it was as simple as choosing to seal himself out of sadness.

This question hurt Lin Mo's scar, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

While that was certainly not the only reason, it really hurt him deeply.

Lin Mo used to be a naive and passionate fool. The love and support of the people in the territory filled him with enthusiasm, which may be related to the education of his poor mother. Lin Mo did not see much arrogance of a high-ranking king. On the contrary, he has a look Extremely soft heart, can't bear any suffering and tragedy.

However, wars were never something that he, the king of a small territory, could stop. With his own strength, he could not stop thousands of troops. Countless people died in battle, crying everywhere. Under their pleading, he transformed those who had The dead people, but the revived people are no longer human beings at all, but zombies who don't know cold, heat, illness, and emotions.

They live on blood, even with Lin Mo's control, they don't eat human blood, but the picture of these zombies drinking the blood of animals is enough to make those living fear.

It may be because of real fear, or it may be because he wanted to divert the pain caused by the war. He fell from the high platform supported by his people.

He became the source of all suffering.

Lin Mo remembered a six-year-old boy who once knelt in front of the palace with the elders in his family, begging him to cast spells to save his father who died in battle, because these people had all seen him throwing clouds and rain in disaster years. Mystic powers, also remember that a few months later, he held a stone in his hand and smashed the plaque of the palace with resentment in his eyes, calling him a disaster star over and over again...

Lin Mo used to be angry, and couldn't understand why human nature is so fickle. He once had a chance to take revenge on all those who hurt him, but in the end, Lin Mo still didn't make it to that point.

He thinks that for him, there are still more things worth cherishing in this world after all.

"Is it because the energy in your body has reached a critical point, and you have the power close to the source of God."

Before Lin Mo could answer, Gu Chu gave his guess.

Although it was a guess, Gu Chu's tone was extremely firm.

Lin Mo was silent, which also heralded the answer.

The second day after returning to Jin City from Haibei City, Gu Chu received a notice to go to the capital. Lin Mo is now an external member of the Special Affairs Bureau, so he is naturally among them.

Heavy rains fell in many parts of the country, and the urban drainage system was under tremendous pressure. Some coastal cities had the phenomenon of seawater backflow, and inland cities were also facing flooding.

The hot news on the Internet right now is flood relief and various prayers to stop the rain.

Looking at the lightning and thunder outside the window, Gu Chu wondered whether the increasingly extreme weather was related to "One Hundred Thousand".

At this time, there were hundreds of members of the special affairs bureau in the room where Gu Chu was sitting, all of whom were elites drawn from all over the world. Currently, only a few people were stationed in each city.

It is said that because of this investigation, there will be a big move by the Fair, and many members of the Fair, who have been recorded but have no substantial evidence to arrest them, all started three days ago and gathered in the capital one after another. This time, their secret operation is very likely to be in this political center.

For Yiren, the status of the capital is not just as simple as the political center. It is said that the largest dragon vein in the whole country is under the capital city, which is the main reason why the subsequent generations of feudal dynasties will all be here.

Fair Society wants to destroy the national fortune and re-establish a new order. The first thing to do should be to destroy this dragon vein.

It's just that the rumors about the dragon veins are just rumors, but a large number of members of the Fair Club are concentrated in the capital, which is certain.

"Cracked! Several Taoist seniors have cracked the nine yin and nine yang formation that reverses the universe!"

Someone burst into the room, raising their arms and shouting.

Everyone looked at the person who came!

Neither Gu Chu nor Lin Mo looked back, but continued to look at the lightning and thunder outside the window.

She didn't know where the countdown was now, but it felt like telling her that "One Hundred Thousand" was approaching.

Soon, everything will be settled.
