Chapter 320 is really strange.
Lu Youyou frowned: "Are you really going to die?"
"I've said it before, I've experienced all walks of life, and I can't trust anyone anymore. I'll just have to live a lonely life anyway."
Gu Jingchen recalled the past few days with a look of disgust on his face.
"I cook and eat alone, I live a life on the street with no one to talk to. Sometimes I even want to talk to insects, you know?"
Lu Youyou shook her head. She felt that although such days were boring, they were safe and wouldn't endanger her life.
Gu Jingchen looked up at the sky.
"You don't understand because you think life comes first, but I think an interesting life comes first. Without fun, there is no life."
"I've done many things to make you unhappy in the past. Since you can't bring yourself to kill me, how about I do it for you?"
Lu Youyou kicked away his coat that was on the table: "What makes you think I can't be ruthless? Do you think you can bribe me with a coat?"
Gu Jingchen looked directly at Lu Youyou, his eyes revealing the sharp wit that only intelligent people possess.
"Lu Youyou, admit it, you're a soft-hearted person. If you could be ruthless, why didn't you fire the paralyzing bullets from the slingshot behind that coward Xu Yu's base?"
"In your heart, with Shen Taiyang dead, your hatred for me has lessened, right? Especially since I was the one who gave you Shen Taiyang's head. You think we can sign an agreement in front of Xiaolu to stop the conflict, and that it's not a fight to the death, right?"
Lu Youyou interrupted him, saying, "I'm just being clear about right and wrong."
Gu Jingchen said helplessly, "Women are just soft-hearted. What is right and wrong? In your heart, I am wrong. You keep saying that I am your enemy, but why don't you kill me like you did when you hunted down Shen Taiyang?"
"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with a woman like you. You have a set of stupid rules of conduct in your head that are kind of cute. Use those things if you can, otherwise forget about them."
"Also, when you see Xu Yu later, tell him I look down on him. He's such a big guy, but he wouldn't even dare to fight me head-on. He made you come instead. What a coward."
After saying that, Gu Jingchen turned and walked out: "Don't come to save me. My life is like a stagnant pool. There is no meaning in living."
He wasn't wearing an insect-proof coat, and the insects, which were kept out by the scent of Lu Youyou's insect-killing liquid, swarmed around him as soon as they saw someone break through the encirclement.
The claws clung tightly to Gu Jingchen's skin, while the clawless ones secreted mucus to prevent themselves from falling.
Gu Jingchen was completely enveloped by insects, layer upon layer.
It transformed from a clearly humanoid shape into a "pillar of insects" indistinguishable from a human.
Gradually, the insect column shrank, and the insects, having lost their food, scattered in a flurry.
Gu Jingchen is gone, without even a drop of blood left behind.
Lu Youyou felt like she was dreaming.
Gu Jingchen left all his belongings to me and then went to his death?
Is it just because life is boring?
She opened the compartment of her backpack and found a bottle of wine called "Homemade Osmanthus Wine" among the supplies Gu Jingchen had given her.
"If I die, will you toast me with a drink, just for the sake of this insect-repellent coat?"
Gu Jingchen's words suddenly came to his ears.
Lu Youyou placed the bottle of wine where Gu Jingchen had last disappeared.
"What a strange person... Isn't life precious?"
Her answer was destined to remain unanswered.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the insect repellent jacket I had kicked aside; it was dusty and looked as if it too was surrounded by insects.
She picked up the coat, brushed off the dirt and dust, and then gave it to Zhang Weimin.
She doesn't need it, but others can. There's no need to throw away the insect repellent coat out of spite.
Then, she knocked on the door of Xu Yu's base.
Three kilometers away from Lu Youyou, a man wearing the same style of windbreaker put down his binoculars.
"You say you're not soft-hearted? If you weren't soft-hearted, would you have given that fake drink to him?"
"If that bastard Shen Taiyang dares to ask for wine before he dies, I'll catch the worm that ate him, crush it into a paste, and put it in a wine bottle as an offering."
Sensing his joy, the withered black hand emerged from his palm and waved in the air.
hum~
The watch vibrated.
[Dear High-Ranking Monster: Ever-Changing Vine, the Lord invites you to guard the dungeon "End of the Dense Forest." Please assume your post promptly.]
Gu Jingchen grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why are you rushing me? I didn't say I wasn't going. I just became a monster, shouldn't I take some time to adjust? Honestly."
"Speaking of the miraculous adhesive bestowed by the master, it really works! It has truly fused the withered vine with me. Interesting, very interesting!"
……
On the bus, Lu Youyou bound the planting box and breeding cage that Xu Yu had given her, and then sent a message in the small group.
[Lu Youyou: That's how it happened. After Gu Jingchen finished rambling on and on, he committed suicide.]
[Wang Qiao: He's mentally ill.]
Zhang Yuning: Agreed.
[Yang Yan: I don't understand, but something feels really wrong. Could it be another case of using a scapegoat?]
[Lu Youyou: I don't know. Anyway, there's no trace of the body, so it's impossible to tell if a substitute doll was used.]
[Zhang Yuning: He's probably dead. Everyone's talking about it in the chat.]
Lu Youyou also closed the small group page to look at the public screen. The incident was caused by someone taking a screenshot of his previous transaction information with Gu Jingchen and discovering that Gu Jingchen's profile picture was gone.
This sparked a great deal of discussion.
[Honghonghong: A long time ago, didn't Shen Taiyang fake his death using a body double and then reset his name? Gu Jingchen shouldn't be really dead; I don't believe he's that weak.]
[Player 8898882: I know Lu Youyou and Gu Jingchen don't get along. Could it be that Lu Youyou killed someone?]
[Player 224345: Gu Jingchen is dead. Oh my god, life is unpredictable. I'm a little sad.]
【…】
Lu Youyou peeked at the screen for a while, and when she saw that everyone's topic had shifted and they were talking about insects again, she lost interest.
Closing the chat window, Lu Youyou began to deal with serious matters.
She bound all five advanced planting boxes and five advanced breeding cages that Xu Yu had given her to the watch, and then began filling them with the contents.
The first thing is the breeding cages, and each cage can only house one type of animal.
To ensure the purity of the animals' genes, Lu Youyou put Xiaohua and Xiaocai into one of them, and also put the long-tailed egg from before into it.
Then she put the red snake with the broken tail back in, since she was sometimes so busy that she didn't even have time to eat, so how could she remember the little snake?
It's better to put it in a high-end breeding cage, then you won't have to worry about the snake's food and shelter.
As for the remaining three breeding cages, Lu Youyou left them untouched, just in case there are new species to raise in the future?
After tidying up the breeding cages, Lu Youyou began to tidy up the planting boxes. Each of the advanced plant planting boxes can grow five different kinds of plants.
She didn't have any unplanted seeds at the moment, so she moved the two rosemary plants from the bedroom into the room to take up space.
After doing all that, Lu Youyou opened the backpack compartment again.
Gu Jingchen gave her many things, mostly food for humans, as well as some prop cards.
Lu Youyou kept only the desserts she needed and put the rest in the gang's communal pool. Anyone who wanted to eat them could take them; after all, they weren't poisoned.
