Ghost World Office

Standing in front of the gate where Gu Lishan lived, Lu Yi suppressed the boundless irritability in his heart, put away the umbrella, shook off the raindrops on it, and raised his hand to ring the doorbell.

After the doorbell rang a few times, it was broken.

After a while, a young girl came and opened the door.

"Are you?" The young girl's eyes were red, and her lower eyelids were covered with mascara. It looked like she had just cried.

"Is Gu Chu here?" Lu Yi smiled politely at the girl, and reported his family name, "I am Lu Yi from the Renjian Office of S City."

The girl was slightly startled, and then invited Lu Yi in.

Entering the living room on the first floor, Lu Yi felt that the atmosphere here was not quite right.

Gu Lishan was sitting on the sofa, the ashtray in front of him was piled up like a hill of cigarette butts.

The other members of Z City's Human World Office did not dare to show their atmosphere, and silently scattered around the living room.

"Gu Chu..." The girl whispered to Gu Lishan.

Hearing the sound, Gu Lishan raised his head.Seeing that it was Lu Yi, he tidied up the messy and wrinkled shirt hem, got up from the sofa, and nodded to Lu Yi:

"The road is coming, I'm so busy here, I'm not far away."

Lu Yi waved his hand, walked straight to Gu Lishan, sat down on the sofa opposite the coffee table, and looked at Gu Lishan with a smile:

"I already knew that Gu Chu is a very busy person. I don't know what he is busy with recently?"

Gu Lishan glanced at Lu Yi with an unkind expression, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Ignoring Gu Lishan's smelly face, Lu Yi raised his hand, picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip calmly, looked at Gu Lishan and asked:

"Missing your daughter?"

Gu Lishan's eyes turned cold, but he didn't immediately ask Lu Yi how he knew about this, but waved to the members of the Z City Human World Office in the living room, motioning them to go down.

Gu Lishan didn't speak until everyone else had left the first floor:

"With such a big incident happening on Yuanxing Island, Lu Chu still has the heart to help me find a girl?"

Lu Yi smiled, and put the tea cup in his hand on the marble tea stand on the table.

The tea utensils on the tea table were scattered, it seemed that Gu Lishan was really in a bad mood.

After tidying up the tea sets one by one slowly, Lu Yi raised his hand and fanned the surrounding air, as if he wanted to disperse the thick second-hand smoke in the living room.

"Indeed, the island is full of chaos today. But after thinking about it carefully, it's useless to be anxious. I heard that Gu Chu's daughter is missing, so I came here to see if I can help."

Lu Yi fixedly looked into Gu Lishan's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his face was full of kind concern.

Gu Lishan snorted coldly, he and Lu Yi had never had any friendship, so Lu Yi must be hiding something else in his visit this time.

Not to mention that Gu Lishan is the minion of the Portal of Darkness, and he is in the opposite camp with Lu Yi, even Lu Yi's usual style of behavior, he is not used to it.

"If you have something to say on the road, there is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Gu Lishan squinted his eyes, lit another cigarette, and smoked slowly.

"How much do you know about the red progress bar?" Without talking nonsense with Gu Lishan, Lu Yi asked straightforwardly.

Gu Lishan's expression was normal, as if the red progress bar had nothing to do with him: "The road department may be asking the wrong person."

"Why," Lu Yi's voice was calm, but the words he said were thorny, "Before Gu Chu came to Yuanxing Island, did Shen An say anything to you?"

Apparently he didn't expect Lu Yi to expose his identity directly, Gu Lishan's hand that flicked the ashtray hung above the ashtray.

After a long time, he flicked off the ash, and looked at Lu Yi's face calmly like a wolf.

There was no flaw in Lu Yi's expression, it was still so gentle and calm.

Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Gu Lishan laughed suddenly, and the pale yellow smoke spewed out from his nasal cavity, flowing in the air around him.

"Lu Yi..." He laughed while throwing away the unburned cigarette, "Let's get down to business."

Gu Lishan is a smart person, since Lu Yi has seen through his identity, there is no need to continue to hide it.

Besides, at this moment, the entire Far Star Island is under the control of the Dark Portal, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

"Red progress bar." Lu Yi smiled and turned the topic back to the question just now.

"Oh..." Gu Lishan stared at Lu Yi's eyes, but still didn't answer Lu Yi directly, "Are Lu Chu afraid?"

Lu Yi did not avoid Gu Lishan's probing gaze, looked straight into Gu Lishan's eyes, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile:

"Of course I'm scared. Everyone knows Shen An's methods, but I'm too scared."

With the gaze of a beast locked on its prey, Gu Lishan put his elbows on his thighs, and approached Lu Yi's face across the coffee table:

"To be honest, I don't know what this progress bar represents. But one thing is certain, the thing at the end of the progress bar should be what you are most afraid of."

When the two confronted each other, the entire living room fell into absolute silence.

There was a strong wind outside the window, gray clouds rolled in, and the night shrouded Yuanxing Island in advance.In the living room inside the window, because of the power instability, the light from the electric lamp flickered on and off.

"Is there anything that Gu Chu is afraid of?" After a long time, Lu Yi leaned back on the sofa, turned his eyes to the window, and asked indifferently.

Before Gu Lishan could speak, Lu Yi continued:

"Gu Chu shouldn't have anything to be afraid of. After all, he left his wife and children to jump off a building, so he has nothing to worry about, isn't he?"

Seemingly being stung by Lu Yi's words, Gu Lishan frowned and didn't speak.

Lu Yi slowly took out a photo from his pocket and threw it on the tea table.

Gu Lishan reached out to take the photo, and the moment he saw the content of the photo clearly, his breath stopped.

The person in the photo is his daughter, Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan was tied up in a dark room, her eyes were blindfolded, her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and she was still wearing the white blue floral dress she wore this morning.

"What do you mean?" Gu Lishan held the photo in his palm, crumpled it into a ball, stared at Lu Yi's face, and asked in a cold voice.

"Come to give Gu Chu some air." The smile on Lu Yi's face gradually melted into undisguised malice, "I look after Gu Chu, as if I don't care about Ling Ai's safety. It seems that my trip was wasted."

"Where is she?" Gu Lishan wanted to tear Lu Yi into pieces and swallowed him, and was afraid that Lu Yi had done something to Gu Xuan, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yi's face was full of apologies, but his tone was extremely relaxed, without any sense of guilt:

"Ah... already killed by me."

"You!" Gu Lishan stood up abruptly from the sofa, pulled out the chains from his body, and wanted to fight to the death with Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was still sitting without even raising his head. He reached out to pick up the teacup from the tea table, poured out the cold tea in the cup, and reminded slowly:

"What you have in your hand is your daughter's posthumous photo, why don't you keep it and keep it for a frame later?"

Lu Yi was so angry that he lost his mind, Gu Lishan uncontrollably wanted to tear Lu Yi apart, he raised the chain in his hand, and threw it at Lu Yi.

But before the chain touched Lu Yi's body, it was bounced off by a powerful force.

"I see that Gu Chu is also afraid of something." Lu Yi raised his eyes, met Gu Li Shan's red eyes, and sighed softly, "I was just joking with Gu Chu, Ling Ai is very good."

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Lishan asked in a low voice, biting his back molars.

Indifferently wiping off the tea stained on his fingertips, Lu Yi tilted his head slightly, raised his eyes to look at Gu Lishan, and the corners of his lips curled into a gentle arc:

"You tell Shen An, I want to see him, just tonight."
