"Ziiii—"
The screeching sound of brakes echoed on the street.
Behind him, Dai Huanhuan accidentally bumped into Gu Mian’s back, causing a painful collision.
He reached out to rub his forehead, dissatisfied yet hesitant to question, he could only ask quietly: "Why did you suddenly stop?"
"Are you sure there’s never been a fortune-teller on your street?" Gu Mian turned to look at him.
Dai Huanhuan nodded quickly: "Absolutely, I moved from the original blocked area to this street when it was built, there’s never been a fortune-teller here."
Gu Mian fell into thought.
The last ti he ca here, he encountered that NPC with a fortune-telling stall who kindly pointed him to the direction of the forbidden zone, thanks to whom he could find the statue of Slaughter and the Evil God in the forbidden zone.
But now Dai Huanhuan says there’s never been a fortune-teller on this street?
That person was not from this street but lied about his identity to give directions to Gu Mian, seemingly waiting specifically for him here.
Who is he? Why did he do this?
Gu Mian had many questions in his heart.
At that mont, the chanical dog Hei poked its head out from the Big Jar behind him, delivering its classic line, "Are you happy?"
Dai Huanhuan looked back at the Big Jar behind him.
He had long wanted to complain about this jar; a jar on the back of a motorcycle, what kind of design is this?
Plus, there’s a dog in the jar, but he didn’t dare question Gu Mian’s aesthetics and swallowed his big doubts alone.
Exactly.
Gu Mian rembered that when he saw the man with the fortune-telling stall, Hei was quite rude, barking "Hey" "Hey" at the man, which puzzled him at the ti, now it seems there might be sothing hidden?
"Do you know him?" Gu Mian looked at the dog’s head of Hei.
It was said to be a dog’s head, but actually just a cara.
Unfortunately, Hei was just like its brother, only spitting out that one line.
Gu Mian couldn’t get anything out of it except to sigh why all the creatures around him were stamring.
"According to the tiline, I should et him tomorrow afternoon, if I wait here until tomorrow afternoon, I might run into him, but not necessarily, he might not co this ti."
Gu Mian looked up at the Inverted City in the sky behind him—the last ti this didn’t happen, did it?
It seems things don’t always follow the original trajectory.
Plus, Lu Yi will be executed in seven days, he didn’t have ti to waste here.
Thinking of this, Gu Mian took a deep look at the location of the fortune-telling stall from last ti and then rode his motorcycle towards Ga City.
With Dai Huanhuan as the practical navigator, Gu Mian took shortcuts avoiding various Upper Class People zones and lower-class zones and saw the Ga City building before dawn.
Since Ga City was not within the activity area of the Upper Class People, Chu Changge and 007 weren’t worried about being captured while moving nearby, Gu Mian could see the two from afar at the gate of Ga City.
His oddly shaped motorcycle attracted the attention of many NPCs around, but since the people here always looked sowhat abstract, it didn’t cause much of a stir.
It wasn’t until he parked his motorcycle in front of Chu Changge and 007, that 007 gazed at the four-wheeled motorcycle with a jar and showed an expression hard to describe: "This bike is..."
"I made it myself;" Gu Mian said as he got off and went to the jar on the back seat, fetching the chanical dog Hei from inside and stuffed it into 007’s arms, "I picked up this dog by the roadside, nad it Hei, since your profession is Fortune-teller, it might be useful to you."
With the Fortune-teller and the dog stuffed into his arms, they exchanged glances but none spoke first.
Just then, Dai Huanhuan gingerly got off the back seat and nodded quietly to Chu Changge and 007 to introduce himself: "Hello, I’m Dai Huanhuan..."
He had seen these two in the "Guide to Avoiding Dangerous Personalities (8th Edition)". Both were Gu Mian’s disreputable companions, if you were lucky enough to et either of them in your instance, congratulations, a hopeful bankrupt working life awaited you.
Seeing these three gathered together, Dai Huanhuan’s mind buzzed with a feeling of impending doom.
Chu Changge sized him up a few tis and then focused back on Gu Mian: "You even brought a useless NPC."
Hearing this, Dai Huanhuan’s head, already lowered, drooped lower, feeling himself wasn’t all that useless.
"Didn’t you also bring soone?" Gu Mian looked toward Chu Changge and 007’s rear, where a ragged, nervous-looking man stood.
Gu Mian recognized him.
"Ming?"
The full na should be "Bright but Not Dazzling Man"
The first ti he saw him was at Blizzard Mountain, in the World in the Mirror instance, back then he was overly flamboyant, accompanied by a CP nad the Alluring but Not Ostentatious Woman.
Back then, Gu Mian enthusiastically nad them Ming and Xiao Zhang.
After that, they didn’t et for a long ti.
The second eting was last ti, on Earth; by then, Ming had lost his prior flamboyance, becoming silent, cautious, his hunched, shrinking form unlike what a young man should have.
Xiao Zhang had also disappeared, no longer clinging to his side as before.
Then, Ming recognized them at the supermarket entrance but didn’t dare approach and fled instead.
Unexpectedly, the third eting ca so quickly.
"No wait, how did you get in?"
When Gu Mian used the 108th Key from the Mysterious World to enter Paradise World, he made sure there were no irrelevant persons nearby.
"I asked, back then he was in the park just not far from the entrance. When you went to check the entrance, he hid away far, when you finished and left, he sneaked behind the entrance to peek, this made him brought in and landed in the sa area with ."
Chu Changge already had the whole thing figured out and now reporting without expression.
Gu Mian recalled notifying Chu Changge and 007 in the group chat about the world’s rollback afterward, and Chu Changge queried Gu Mian if he’d ntioned soone he encountered previously.
Gu Mian answered with a negative.
It seems in the first entry into this world Chu Changge didn’t et Ming, the rollback might have led Chu Changge to spend ti pondering several matters, the ti differences resulting in event differences, leading him to encounter Ming also entering this world.
Then Ming rubbed his filthy hands, explaining: "Sorry, I couldn’t find a place to stay outside, when I saw the park I wanted to stay at a ticket booth for a night, as long as there was a roof, out of the rain, that’d be enough;
"But I accidentally found the ter room inside the park... you know, the one with many ters, it looked like soone had lived there, they left bedding there... I haven’t felt safe sleeping on a bed for so long, wanted to stay longer;
"Didn’t expect to see you at the entrance, also didn’t expect coming close would cause this..."
The ter room in Lianhua Paradise? Gu Mian knew he ant the electrical room, soone used to live there?
He thought of Renle Mountain who recently sneaked away from the apartnt.
seed to have thought the sa, slightly startled in expression.
