Get to Know Your Ex-Girlfriend

The cave was very quiet, save for the occasional crackling of the fire.

"Damn it, I knew the evil door before the sun came out at noon, but I didn't expect such an evil door."

The middle-aged man who spoke just now muttered, although his voice was not loud, but in the current environment, it was exceptionally clear.

On January 2030, 1, the sun did not rise as usual.

By noon, this nightmare swept over all mankind.

"I didn't know about the fact that the sun didn't rise at all. I stayed up late yesterday to play games, fell asleep, opened my eyes in a daze, and continued to sleep when I found out that it was not yet dawn. Then I heard that voice. I was inexplicably trying to guess who the murderer was. .”

The boy with spectacle frames was still wearing pajamas, with a helpless expression on his face.

"What do you say is the situation, something like a god or a demon?"

"Don't make wild guesses, no gods and demons let you take the exam, and you still make it like this."

The woman in the white padded jacket rolled her eyes, despising such unreliable speculation.

"Could it be some advanced civilization, artificial intelligence?"

Yuanyuan is whimsical.

"Which artificial intelligence can do this, bring us all to this place, and it feels like the whole world is under its control."

The woman who spoke just now looked solemn.

"I remember what it said about new citizens. Could it be that we are eliminated one by one from this kind of test, and then those who pass the test become its citizens?"

The young man with glasses put forward such a guess, which made people's hearts sink.

This is most likely the case.

"It's beautiful to think about."

But the structure of society is definitely not something that can be successfully established in this way of survival of the fittest and obliteration of the eliminated.

"Let's not discuss that for now, let's take a look at this task first, where is the sacrificial altar, is it written on any of your cards?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"I guess when this NPC wakes up, we will know."

There is also a game ID on Gu Zi's head.

The difference between NPC and examinee is clear at a glance.

The NPC didn't keep everyone waiting for a long time, and woke up leisurely.

The pale boy coughed and looked weak.

"Please take me back to the village, everyone. The snow outside looks like it's about to stop. When the snow stops, walk two miles southwest and you'll reach my village."

The little boy sat up, looking like he was afraid of the cold, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, but he didn't get close to the fire to keep warm.

The snowstorm outside is about to stop.

There was no more whistling and killing wind, and it gradually became gentler leisurely.

Yuanyuan leaned over and looked at the boy curiously.

The young man was puzzled and tilted his head to look at him.

"Where is the altar?"

The little boy didn't seem to hear what he asked, and still looked at him suspiciously.

"Do you know what danger you're in?"

Yuanyuan asked again.

The NPC still looks ignorant, and the frequency of blinking has not changed.

"Ask him if he will tell you."

The middle-aged man sneered and folded his arms without expecting it.

Xin Lan and Wan Yan were thoughtful.

They hadn't tried to interfere with the NPC in the last round, but Yuanyuan did this first, but the NPC didn't respond.

Does it mean it is not in the program?

Yuanyan was not discouraged, but continued to ask questions.

"When will the snow stop outside?"

This time the boy answered.

It stopped soon, he said.

"What's your name?"

"You can call me Xiao An."

Xiao An answered obediently.

"Where is the village?"

"Go along the southwest for another two miles, and you will arrive."

"Where is the altar?"

Xiao An didn't speak again, just looked at Yuanyuan.

"Do you know what danger you're in?"

Xiao An remained silent.

Yuanyuan rubbed her chin, stood up, and stopped asking questions.

I don't know if the NPC is not advanced enough and will only answer questions within the program, or there is an circumvention program and only answer limited questions.

As Xiaoan said, the wind and snow outside stopped quickly, and it was still white. The sun shone on the snow, which didn't bring much warmth, but instead made people's eyes hurt.

A group of people walked southwest. The people in down jackets, cotton jackets and boots were fine, but the young man in glasses who was barefoot in pajamas was almost frozen to death.

Yuanyuan couldn't see it, so she took off her down jacket and put it on the man.

The young man with glasses was surprised and a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, my family is from the northeast, you see I'm dressed warmly, I've worn several sweaters, I can handle the temperature."

Yuanyuan laughed, and there were two dimples on her face.

After Yuanyuan delivered the clothes, she ran back to Xin Lan and Qin Yuyan, and followed the two beautiful ladies firmly.

Xin Lan and Wan Yan had no complaints about Xiaowei, they just looked forward.

After walking for two miles like this, Xin Lan and the others saw a stone tablet.

Gu Village.

Gu village, Guzi, I'm afraid they are about to enter the insect nest.

"arrive."

Xiao An touched the cold stone tablet with a joyful smile on his face.

"arrive?"

The middle-aged man was astonished. There was indeed such a monument in the ice and snow, but looking left and right, it was still in the snow. How did it arrive?

Xiao An stood on tiptoe and pressed hard on the word "worm" of "Gu Village".

Suddenly, a village appeared on the snowy ground, with a stone tablet standing at the door.

"come in."

Xiaoan walked in front, and everyone followed behind.

After entering, Xin Lan turned her head.

The outside is no longer the snow just now, but a piece of uncharted darkness.

In the fluttering snowflakes, the village disappeared quietly just like when it came.

Xin Lan just went in when she heard the sound of gongs and drums.

It sounds like funeral music.

Some paper money floated over with the wind, and everyone looked very unsightly.

Anyone who enters such an evil place will have a bad face when they encounter this kind of situation at the beginning.

As the sound of gongs and drums approached, Xin Lan saw a man in mourning.

Walking at the forefront were two people who scattered paper money, followed by the coffin of the deceased, and several people carried the coffin.

What is striking is that there is a woman sitting on top of the black coffin.

The woman is also dressed in linen and filial piety, with her legs hanging down, holding a portrait in her arms.

That scene made one's scalp tingle, and looked extremely horrifying.

Someone almost couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly covered his mouth.

The woman sitting on the coffin was crying, her voice was high-pitched, and she was chanting something incomprehensible.

Behind the coffin was a group of people walking past Xin Lan and the others with blank expressions.

"It's just that someone died, let's go, let's go to the village chief."

After Xiaoan waited for the team to leave, he spoke lightly and walked in the front to lead the way.

Xin Lan squinted her eyes, looking at Xiao An's back.

I don't know if it's her delusion, since this Gu Zi entered this Gu Village, she doesn't seem to feel very sick anymore, and her walking speed is much faster.

The village chief's house was not far from the village entrance, and the door was opened before Xiaoan knocked on it.

The one who opened the door was a woman with a cloth scarf on her head, bowing respectfully to Xiao An.

"Welcome Guzi back to the village, the village chief is already waiting for you inside."

She spoke Mandarin, but with an eerie stilted accent.

"These are my friends who escorted me back. Granny remember to make arrangements."

The grandma nodded, and after Xiao An went in, she came out and closed the door.

"Guests, come with me."

Now no one has figured out the situation clearly, and no one moved indiscriminately, so they followed the woman forward.

Yuanyuan was about to step forward again to make a cliché.

"Grandma, your village is a bit remote."

"Gu village hides from the world, it has always been like this."

Grandma responded.

"Is Gu Zi a high status?"

"Guzi are the lifeblood of a Gu village."

"Then why did he come back from outside the village?"

The mother-in-law paused and turned her head to stare at Yuanyuan.

She looked very old, with wrinkled face, protruding cheekbones, very thin, and her eyes were wide open, which looked extremely pervasive.

She just looked at it like that, and it made people's hairs stand on end.

"Grandma, where are we going?"

Yuanyuan laughed dryly and changed the subject.

"There are a few houses in the village that have vacant beds for distinguished guests. I'm afraid they can't be arranged together for distinguished guests. How to live depends on the arrangement of distinguished guests."

The mother-in-law turned her head and continued to walk forward.

Although he was old, he didn't walk like an ordinary elderly person, walking very steadily.

The mother-in-law took them to a door and stood there, knocking on the door.

The door was opened, and standing at the door was a girl about eight or nine years old with a white cloth tied around her head.

"Grandma."

"The guzi is back. These are the distinguished guests who escorted him back. How many rooms are available in your house for the distinguished guests?"

"Two rooms, can sleep four people."

The mother-in-law glanced at the people behind her, waiting for them to make a choice.

The white cloth on the girl's head made people think of a group of people who had just dressed in mourning at the entrance of the village, and none of them came out for a while.

Xin Lan simply stood up, Wan Yan was naturally with her, and Yuan Yuan also immediately came out when she saw this.

The last one is the white shirt.

From the first time she saw this man, Xin Lan felt that he was unusual and too calm. He was only wearing a thin shirt in the snow, and he didn't seem to feel the cold.

Relying on the intuition honed by Xin Lan, I believe this person must be a powerful character.

The four stayed, and the mother-in-law went on and knocked on the door of another house.

The girl opened the door, and after the four of them walked in, closed the door.

"Guests come with me."

She had a childlike smile on her face, and she looked very pleasing.

"Little sister, are you alone at home?"

Seeing that no one else came out of the house, Yuanyuan continued chatting with the NPC.

"The second uncle is gone, and everyone in the family has gone to his funeral."

"Then why don't you go?"

"His status is not worthy of my funeral."

The little girl said with a smile, there was a huge contrast between that appearance and the words that came out of her mouth.

Her smile has not changed, but it seems that it is not very pleasing.

"Why not?"

"If you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it. Your room is here."

The little girl didn't seem to understand why they had to ask such a question, she walked to the front of the room and stood still.

Yuanyuan wanted to ask something, but the little girl had already run away.

Two rooms next to each other, two men and two women, the choice is natural and clear.

Wan Yan was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it too much on her face.

Xin Lan knew what she was thinking at a glance, but she didn't feel awkward.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time she slept in the same bed. This person knew that she would be angry when she got up, and she wouldn't move around when she slept. He was a very good 'bed partner'.

When I opened the door, I was greeted with a strange smell.

Xin Lan frowned unconsciously, and looked around the room.

It wasn't very dirty, there was no dust on the tables, chairs and benches, and there were no cobwebs on the beams, but it just had a weird smell.

It's not that it has been unoccupied for a long time, nor is it damp and moldy.

Wanyan also smelled it naturally, and began to check up and down.

She opened the closet, and the moment she saw the light, some black things flew away.

are bugs.

Kind of disgusting.

Wan Yan lifted the bed again, there were actually some bugs under the quilt, and the whole body was black.

Wan Yan rolled up the quilt and threw it on the ground, but luckily there was nothing on the bed.

Suddenly, Yuanyuan said "I am Cao" from the next door, presumably they also found bugs.

"Are we going to wait here?"

Wan Yan sat on the stool, the room was disgusting, but there was no other place to go.

The mission is to protect the Gu Zi to the sacrificial altar, but now the Gu Zi is not by their side.

And what that granny said, Gu Zi is the lifeblood of this place.

Since Xiao An is the lifeblood of Gu Village, why is he outside and coming back here.

Also, since it is the lifeline, why does the task say to protect Guzi to the sacrificial altar?

The danger in the middle, who made it?

"Go out and have a look."

Coming to the exam is definitely not for them to sit here and wait for death. It's a pity that Ling Jiu's surveillance function can't be used, and they can't keep an eye on Xiaoan at any time.

Xin Lan and Wan Yan went out, just in time to meet Yuanyuan and Bai Shirt who also came out from the next door.

"Why is it getting dark so quickly, it's too evil."

Yuanyuan was shocked. Although they didn't know what time it was when they came in, the sun was shining brightly, and it was also bright when they came in. It was getting dark so soon?

"There are bugs in this room, you two, be careful."

Yuanyuan suddenly thought of the worms she saw just now, and thought that this is Gu Village, she couldn't help rubbing her hands, and reminded Xin Lan and the others.

The white shirt was calm, looking at Xin Lan and Wan Yan thoughtfully.

"Thanks, we found out too."

"Are you going to go out and have a look? Huo Xu and I are also planning to go. Why don't we go together? There are more people and strength. Anyway, we will take the exam together."

Yuanyuan patted Huo Xu on the shoulder and proposed to go with her.

It turned out that the white shirt was called Huo Xu.

The four went out together, but were stopped by the little girl when they were in the main room.

The little girl was sitting on a chair with her legs dangling in the air.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go out for a walk."

Xin Lan answered briefly.

"it's dark."

The little girl lowered her head, fingering her nails while speaking.

"It's best for foreign visitors not to go out in the dark."

The little girl looked up with a smile on her face.

"How about going out?"

The little girl didn't answer, and sang a song on her own.

It was a little tune that Xin Lan had never heard before. It was sad and mournful, like mourning music.

The little girl was laughing and humming, she seemed to be smiling all the time since they came in.

Xin Lan walked out, she didn't stop her, but swayed her legs, and watched Xin Lan and the others' backs while singing, smiling very strangely.

"People from far away, don't ask where you come from, stay in our soil, I look at the white starworm, and ask when will you bloom..."

The singing sound permeated people for no reason, she sang sadly and melodiously, but giggled.

Xin Lan pushed the door open, and Huo Xu, who was at the end, closed the wooden door.

There was no one on the road, it was very quiet.

The population of Gu Village is not very large, and the area is not very large. Four people walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village and found nothing special.

The doors of every house were closed tightly, and it seemed that even the lights were not lit, and it was pitch black.

The lights are roadside lanterns, white paper lanterns, illuminating a small piece of road at the door.

A row of lanterns, looking from a distance, looks like floating will-o'-the-wisps, making the night darker and darker.

Xin Lan and the others decided to wait in front of the village chief's house. They didn't know where to go anyway. They had turned around such a place with lights, and they didn't go without lights.

When Xin Lan arrived, there were already people waiting there.

Six, no more, no less, all there.

"Did you find anything?"

The middle-aged man watched them coming from another direction and asked aloud.

Yuanyuan shook her head.

The remaining three are all cool sisters and cool brothers, who didn't react at all.

"What about you, did you find anything?"

"I saw a bunch of bugs."

The woman in the white down jacket had disgust on her face, and the bug was about to vomit just thinking about it.

"What's going on with this mission? I'd rather go back and guess the murderer."

Someone muttered.

It's really evil and something is wrong here, it feels like I've broken into some kind of insect nest.

A scream came from the village chief's house, and the middle-aged man immediately opened the door and broke in.

The guzi is still inside, their task is to protect the guzi to the sacrificial altar, if the guzi dies before reaching there, then they are all done.

A group of people entered the lobby, only to find that no one was there.

There were two glasses of water on the table. Xin Lan touched them with her fingertips, but they were still hot.

"What about people?"

Everyone scattered around to search, but found that there was no one in the village head's house.

So where did that scream come from?

Someone cursed, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The corner of Xin Lan's clothes was pulled by Wan Yan, and towards the place Wan Yan pointed at, she saw some black spots.

It's a bug, a tiny, tiny bug.

"Get out of your way."

Xin Lan made a sound, a group of people crowded inside, many people had black spots under their feet, but they didn't notice it.

Everyone was puzzled, but seeing Xin Lan's good-looking and unfriendly appearance, they backed away silently.

Those black dots gradually converged into a line.

Xin Lan hurriedly followed the line and walked to the courtyard.

Wan Yan picked up a stone and threw it in, and soon heard the echo, indicating that the well was not very deep.

"Go in?"

Wan Yan looked at Xin Lan, Xin Lan nodded.

Wan Yan took the lead in jumping down, her movements were neat and crisp.

Xin Lan followed closely behind and landed lightly.

"Just... let's go on like this?"

Yuanyuan was confused.

Huo Xu didn't say anything, stepped forward and jumped down too.

Seeing that the three companions living together jumped, Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and jumped down too.

There is also a passage in the well, about two people wide and two meters long.

There is no light in the passage, but it is very bright.

On the top of the wall, there are things made up of light spots. The dots look quite magnificent, and the color is much more beautiful than that of fireflies. It is a pure bright white.

But when I looked closely, I found that those were densely packed insects, and the light was emitted by those insects.

Wan Yan and Xin Lan walked in the aisle, and after walking for a while, they suddenly saw something.

In front of him was a huge stone cave, and there was something carved on the dome and walls, but Xin Lan had no time to look at it.

She had already seen the two things holding Gu Zi and the village chief in front of her, running fast like paper dolls.

"Chase."

Wan Yan and Xin Lan erupted at the same time, chasing after the paper figurine in front.

Needless to say, Xin Lan's physical fitness is not inferior to Wanyan's own intervention.

The paper figurine was quickly overtaken by them and was forced to stop.

They are not the pure white paper figurines, they are like the ones buried in the coffin, with painted eyebrows and eyes, but they are extremely stiff, no male or female can be seen, with a bloody mouth, thick eyebrows, and hanging eyes, they look extremely fierce .

The two paper figurines wanted to run away, but they were strictly stopped by Wan Yan and Xin Lan.

Xin Lan grabbed Xiao An's hand, and the hand of the paper figurine holding Xiao An grabbed towards Xin Lan. The fingers were pointed and looked extremely sharp.

Xin Lan dodged sideways, and a strand of hair was cut off.

Xin Lan grabbed the hand of the paper figurine. The paper figurine is very thin and can be easily squeezed.

With her other hand, she grabbed Xiao An's collar, shook off the paper figurine, and pulled Xiao An out at the same time.

Xiaoan fell to the ground, the paper figurine wanted to grab again, Xin Lan used both hands to tear the paper figurine's hand open.

Paper figurines have no life, can't feel pain, only afraid of water, fire and cutting.

On the other side, Wanyan stepped directly onto the stone wall, trampled the paper figurine on the ground, forced the paper figurine to let go, and let go of the village chief.

The two paper figurines still wanted to grab it, but some people came behind them.

Someone screamed when they saw the appearance of the paper figurine, and the paper figurine wanted to run away when it saw the crowd.

The village chief didn't bother to pat the ashes on his body, and went to help Xiao An up.

"Master Gu Zi, are you alright?"

Xiao An shook her head and stood up from the ground.

"You two honorable guests, don't restrain them anymore, let them go."

The village head spoke.

Xin Lan and Wan Yan let go of their hands when they heard the words, and the paper figurine fled away.

The people behind saw Xin Lan and Wan Yan's posture, they were dumbfounded.

"Sisters, you are running too fast."

Yuanyuan kept panting, Huo Xu in front looked better, and most of the people chasing after her were also panting.

"Thank you two distinguished guests for your help."

The village chief thanked him, but his eyes were serious.

"Who made the paper figurine, why did you take Guzi and you away?"

Xin Lan asked.

"It's a gu servant who rebelled from the village. I don't know where he learned how to make paper figurines to deal with us. Now he must have heard that the guzi has returned, so he came to attack us."

The village chief sighed with a complicated expression.

"Fortunately, the sacrifice will begin tomorrow night, and after the sacrifice is over, Guzi will lead us to eliminate the traitors."

The village head looked devout, and his voice echoed in the cave.

Xiaoan had no expression on her face, she raised her head, her eyes were a little empty.

"I also ask all the distinguished guests to help to protect the safety of Guzi."

"That's natural, but you have to tell us first what's going on, why the Gu Zi came back from outside, and what happened to that betrayed Gu servant."

Xin Lan stared into the eyes of the village chief, waiting for an answer.

She wanted to see if the NPC said it or not.

This time, the village chief didn't just stare blankly, but answered.

"A few days ago, two servants serving the Gu king rebelled, took the Gu king, and wanted to escape from the Gu village. One of them was stopped by us, and the other ran out. The one we stopped was the paper man who just sent who took us captive."

"This paper man is not afraid of insect bites or poison, and will not be manipulated by Gu or parasites. We have nothing to do, and we don't know where the traitor is hiding now."

"The one who ran out held the Gu king. This Gu king is the companion Gu, and the other one was already in the Gu's body. The priest planted the raised one again under the ritual, and now the Gu king has been Snatch it away, only the Gu Zi can sense it, so I went out and brought the other one back, fortunately, I brought it back, God Gu blesses me, and the sacrifice can go smoothly."

The village chief confessed everything and made a gesture of gratitude.

This NPC told the truth, so the program answered according to the set authority.

The village chief said that Gu Zi was frightened, and took Xiao An back to the house first.

Xin Lan and Wan Yan did not follow, but looked at the murals in the cave.

The two of them didn't leave, so did the others, but followed the murals.

Not long after, the woman in the white down jacket asked with a pale complexion.

"Are we really going to deal with paper figurines or bugs? But we don't have anything, how do we deal with it?"

After all, they are just ordinary people, and they have dealt with such evil things there.

"Why can't I deal with it? The two girls just now can't do it. I don't think that paper man is a big deal at all."

The middle-aged man sneered.

The next moment, he was kicked on the knee and fell to the ground.

"Can you say that again?"

Xin Lan raised her eyebrows.
