"Where...is this?"
Gu Bei opened his eyes in a daze and looked around.
This is a closed room, the lights are dark, it is empty, and a slight smell of decay is coming.
The white curtains rise and fall slowly, with some kind of black stain on them. The light of the searchlight shines through the gaps in the wooden bars. On the left hand, you can vaguely see rows of iron shelves, which are piled with glass medicine bottles. On the right hand, there is a The cast iron operating table is covered with yellow rust spots.
No, the stains on the curtains are clearly dried blood clots. This seems to be an operating room. It doesn’t seem strange that there is blood in the operating room, even if the blood is on the curtains...
Well, this is not so much an operating room... more like some kind of meat processing plant.
Gu Bei looked at the surrounding scenery and didn't know why he was here.
If he remembered correctly, he should have been reading the information sent by Mai Shutoku on the balcony. Although the source of this information was rather suspicious, Gu Bei did not doubt its authenticity.
Lu Mingze may play some tricks, but he will never use such cheap tricks that can be seen through at a glance.
Apart from anything else, this little kid really dared to give it to him if he had information. The information revealed in the information was whether it was the Francis family hiding behind the scenes, Odin who was unclear about the France family, or the underworld. The Swan Harbor plan and the information about the royal blood inheritance from the Sheqi Ba family gave Gu Bei the pieces to piece together the complete truth.
Now Gu Bei only lacks one most important thread that can connect everything together, so Gu Bei plans to go to a bar in Chicago or New York after dawn tomorrow to find the current president of the Lion Heart Club who often hangs out in such places. .
After all, Chu Zihang has not officially succeeded yet, he is just the acting president.
The current president of the Lionheart Society - Fundy Francis, is a direct descendant of the French mixed-race aristocratic Francis family. Although he is not as respected as Caesar, who is the default head of the family, he is still among the new generation of the family. Talented people.
It doesn't matter if he can't get anything out of Fendi's mouth. Gu Bei can control the other person with both hands - even though Gu Bei really doesn't want to do this.
When Gu Bei was thinking about how to get something out of the Francis family, a strong wave of sleepiness swept over him.
Gu Bei noticed something was wrong in an instant, but he did not resist. Instead, he followed the force and closed his eyes.
Being accomplished in the field of souls, he sensed no malice in this power, and as a sorcerer, his inspiration did not sound the alarm.
This force seemed to simply want Gu Bei to fall asleep.
Gu Bei naturally followed the other party's wishes and took the opportunity to see what tricks Lu Mingze was playing this time.
That's right, he had already guessed that Lu Mingze did this. Among the people or dragons he knew, there was only one other than Odin who was good at the spiritual field who could do such a thing. , a little brat who has never been seen again due to serious physical injuries.
In fact, there was no second option. Gu Bei decided that Lu Mingze did this, so even if someone else did it, Gu Bei would still blame Lu Mingze.
"So...I'm in a dream now?"
Gu Bei felt it and found that this dream was strangely real and strangely fragile.
The truth is that he can normally perform the Eight Magic Skills and other strange arts that he has mastered here, and both the five senses and the physical rules are exactly the same as reality.
If it hadn't been for some illusory feeling that kept coming from the warlock's inspiration, maybe Gu Bei would have really regarded this place as reality.
As for vulnerability…
Gu Bei felt that with the power of his soul, he could escape from this false world in the dream with just a little bit of strength.
This is unreasonable. Lu Mingze's spiritual level is higher than Gu Bei's. If he is determined to trap Gu Bei in a dream, then Gu Bei might really have to put in some effort.
But now, it was obvious that Lu Mingze had no intention of trapping him.
So why did Lu Mingze put so much effort into dragging himself into the dream?
It's not just to let yourself have a *dream and then die in society, right?
While Gu Bei was thinking about it, there was a faint sound of breathing in the corner.
There was something vaguely resembling a bed in the dark corner where the light could not reach, with a pale human figure lying on it. The man was wearing a tightly wrapped dress.
After all, Gu Bei had been in a hospital before. Although he was not a psychiatrist or a doctor in a mental hospital, he could still recognize that it was a straitjacket that had the highest number of appearances in mental hospitals.
This kind of restraint is very restrictive. It is made of tough white linen and has more than a dozen wide belts sewn all over the body. After the belts are fastened, you can only lie down stiffly, as if the whole person is trapped in a cocoon. It's hard to twist your neck even if you're a pupa. It's really more uncomfortable than death.
Of course, there were parents of patients who complained that wearing such clothes on patients was inhumane. The doctors at the hospital felt that what the parent said was quite reasonable, so they untied his son's clothes when he visited his son. The straitjacket caused this parent to be sent to the hospital by his biological son and lay there for half a month.
But Gu Bei always felt that something was wrong.
This child appeared so suddenly, like a dead person suddenly coming to life.
It was obvious that Gu Bei could use magic normally in dreams, but he had never felt that there was anyone in the room before. The reason was because the child seemed to be dead just now.
Gu Bei leaned over and could see more clearly.
There was not a bed in the corner, but a cast-iron chaise longue. It was only wide enough for a person to lie down half-ly, and had many holes on the top and bottom to fasten the belts on the straitjacket.
It's a boy, and he's asleep.
Gu Bei got closer and saw the boy's appearance clearly through the darkness.
At that moment, his breath froze.
The boy wore a wire mask, and through the mask he could see an Asian face, delicate and almost frail, with black hair covering a broad forehead, and dark and straight eyebrows.
Looks like an ordinary Asian boy...
not that simple.
Although Gu Bei had never seen this face a few times, he was very familiar with the owner of this face.
"Lu Mingze!?"
The boy breathed evenly, and the room was filled with the lingering smell of medicine and blood. The searchlight shone on the wall, making it look like a full moon.
Gu Bei suddenly realized that although the boy in front of him looked the same as Lu Mingze, there was absolutely no way he was Lu Mingze.
Although Gu Bei knew that that little brat who loved to show off could have some serious injuries and be unable to go out, but with Lu Mingze's strength, it was impossible for his hands and feet to be trapped by a restraint uniform.
Just look the same?
It's too much of a coincidence.
Gu Bei believed in coincidence, but he absolutely did not believe that it was a coincidence that a boy who looked exactly like Lu Mingze appeared in Lu Mingze's dream.
So, what's going on?
Who is this boy?
Where is this?
What on earth is Lu Mingze going to do?
Just when Gu Bei was puzzled, another breath broke into his perception.
The smell is very light, the steps are very light, and the movements are brisk and active...
Is it a little girl?
And it's getting closer and closer, it seems that this little girl's destination is this room.
Gu Bei looked around, and then jumped up to the ceiling. Although he couldn't grab a place to land on, the strange gecko wall-walking skill could firmly suck him to the ceiling.
Sure enough, the girl's breath stopped outside the door. With a clang, the door opened, and a girl wearing a white cotton skirt walked in holding a stuffed bear.
The girl first looked around the room, then found the boy in the corner, and walked straight towards the boy.
"How pitiful." Gu Bei heard the girl whisper.
She seemed to see that the boy's lips were a little dry, so she ran to the water pipe to get a small handful of water, and dripped it on the boy's lips through the wire mask. She looked at the boy blankly for a while and found that the boy had no reaction. The girl hugged him Picking up her wombat and walking towards the door.
Suddenly someone said: "Don't leave in a hurry, Renata."
Renata...is that the girl's name?
Seeing the girl's footsteps subconsciously stop, Gu Bei knew that he was right. As for the person who was speaking, it was also obvious. Gu Bei watched with his own eyes as the boy who was obviously sluggish just now opened his eyes.
Those black eyes were very smart, with a strange feeling of water waves undulating deep in the pupils. He stared at Renata and seemed to be staring at Gu Bei on the ceiling, laughing silently.
Gu Bei looked at those eyes. He seemed to see Lu Mingze, but it wasn't very similar.
"You know me?" Renata was surprised.
"I know a lot about you, you're famous."
The boy stuck out his tongue.
His face was covered by barbed wire, and his expression couldn't be clearly seen, but he could convey a lot of information to Renata with his smart eyes alone. They were eyes that expressed intimacy and a bit of pleading, hoping that she would stay. Say a few words to him.
"What's your... name?" Renata had no experience in talking to strangers, so she could only ask dryly.
"Me? I don't have a name yet," the boy said. "I live in Room Zero. You can call me Room Zero."
Then the two boys and one girl started chatting together before they could even consider the size of the child's shoe size. The two of them chatted quite happily, and the size zero made Renata laugh non-stop.
Gu Bei always felt that Number Zero seemed to be teasing Renata, and every word he said sounded like a ruthless New Age scumbag.
In fact, Gu Bei himself wasn't much better. He felt like a Spider-Man with a dark personality who couldn't spin silk, or a Bruce Wayne who had gained superpowers.
After all, voyeurism is a method that Batman is more skilled at using.
The two people exchanged little secrets with each other in the room. Zero said that he was mentally ill and that he liked a girl with long legs named Khorkina. Renata blushed and said that she had recently had an affair. Sometimes I wet the bed.
Even Gu Bei couldn't bear to listen. He exchanged two insignificant things for the secret of bedwetting. This Number Zero didn't look like a good person.
In fact, Renata is already thirteen years old and has long passed the age of bedwetting, so this bedwetting is not that bedwetting, but another inevitable stage in a girl's life.
The two little boys chatted more and more passionately, from secrets to the physical structure of men and women to love and friendship.
Gu Bei even felt that if the situation wasn't right, if No. 0 took off his tight clothes, he would definitely knock Renata on the wall and say: "Woman, you are playing with fire."
Then things took a turn for the worse, as they were chatting and Renata actually cried, before Zero comforted her.
Just when Gu Bei thought the atmosphere was going to get better, an alarm buzzer suddenly sounded outside. The police lights illuminated the ice field in blood, and the searchlights pulled out dazzling white light beams. The entire port woke up like a giant beast.
The sound of the alarm startled Renata, and then there was a "rumbling" sound in the corridor, and iron bars fell on the door and window of the cabin.
The security system is blocking the entire floor. The entrances and exits are locked and must be opened with an encryption key. She is trapped in Room Zero!
Gu Bei heard the rapid thump of heeled boots from upstairs. In fact, Renata and Zero also heard it. It was the fierce nurses who threw down their drinks and cards and rushed out of the office. A few minutes later, they Renata will be found sneaking into the restricted area, and any child who steps in here will not end well.
Renata was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Zero smiled.
"What should I do?" Renata asked.
She was so frightened that Zero was tied to a cast-iron recliner in a straitjacket. It was difficult to even move a finger. What could he do?
But Zero's eyes were convincing. He didn't seem to be joking. He smiled very seriously. This self-proclaimed psychotic guy had an aura of power when he was serious.
"Close your eyes."
Renata nodded, her little hands clenched and turned white, her lips biting, but she still fell in love with her obedient eyes.
"I like obedient girls."
Renata heard Zero say this, and then a strong pressure poured out throughout the room: "You see the throne, why don't you kneel down and worship!"
No. 0's pupils turned into a deep dark gold color, and the whole room was illuminated.
Renata couldn't see it, but she could hear it, and she heard Zero's breath mixed with a thick nasal sound, like a god speaking from a throne in the clouds.
Somehow she could understand the god's language, but it didn't matter because another voice appeared in the room.
"Little brat, you have to have a begging attitude when asking for help."
Renata:?
Is there a third person in this room?
Renata's body suddenly tensed up. She was not stupid. She knew very well what the male voice that appeared in the room at this time meant. It was very likely that this person had been in this room from the beginning, completely and completely. After listening to the conversation between myself and Zero.
As for why this person appears here, it is better to explain. Very few people come here at Zero, and it is difficult to be discovered hiding here.
In other words, this person is not from the port!
The thoughts in Renata's heart were shaking, and Zero's mood could not calm down. He looked at Gu Bei with dark eyes, as if he saw some strange creature: "You are not a blood descendant."
"Nonsense, I'm a human! Pure-blooded!"
Gu Bei heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and rolled his eyes at No. 0: "Wait here, kid. I still have many things to ask you."
After saying that, no matter how Zero reacted, he took Renata by the back of the neck with one hand, lifted him up like a kitten, and then disappeared into the room in an instant.
