Gu De shrugged: "I look young." From what Saipan said, a hundred years have passed directly in the timeline. Ah, you can imagine what has happened after so many years. There must be something supernatural happening in this art house, which has caused both the street and the house to be blocked. "Stop talking nonsense. This can't be explained by looking younger, okay? You haven't changed at all from before." Saiban couldn't help but scolded: "I felt something was wrong with you before. You must have gained the power of the gargoyle like me, right?" Gu De raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean the gargoyle mask? You...really put it on? And then you became the ghost you are now?" Eh? That gargoyle mask is really useful? It is indeed a strange world.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie~" Saipan grinned, "I was right, wasn't I? You disappeared without a clear reason and scared Master Germain and me a lot. We thought we had encountered some weird ghost. Miss Julie was terrified at the time, and you almost gave me a heart attack." Gu De opened his eyes. Hey, hey, you look so terrible now, it's not convincing to say that you were scared to the point of having a heart attack. Saipan continued, "But I was also inspired by what you said at the time. It is true that human ability has its limits. I was almost at the end of my life at the time, and I guess you saved me in a different way..." Saipan's figure rose a few inches higher, and he bared his fangs and claws at Gu De with an evil and terrifying look on his face. "I'm done being a human, Dio! I'm so high right now. How can I thank you?" "Thanks are unnecessary. I don't feel like playing house with you this time. I want to go to the innermost room on the second floor to see Nanhua." He glanced at Saipan and ignored him as he walked towards the second floor. This made Saipan, who was expecting Gu De to show a terrified look, feel like he had punched the air. Ignored? "You guy!!!" Saipan's face twitched as he stood in front of Gu De again: "Do you really think I want to thank you? Seeing me like this, shouldn't you be so scared that you scream and cry and try to run away?" "Wow~" Gu De yelled in cooperation. He picked his ears and looked a little impatient. "If I was really scared, would I walk into this mansion that looks so wrong? There's a seal with a big 'forbidden' word on it outside. Do you really think I'm the protagonist in a horror game, who clearly knows something is wrong but still insists on going inside instead of taking a taxi home?" Saipan: ... Although I don’t know what the protagonist of the horror game that Gu De is complaining about is. But it was obvious that Gu De was not afraid of him. "Then don't mind me being ruthless!"
Saipan said this, his body was so fast that it even left a shadow. He appeared in front of Gu De almost at the speed of teleportation. Just when he was about to attack Gu De. Gu De calmly grabbed his wrist, then chopped Saipan's neck with a knife, turning him into a crooked-necked Saipan. Super adaptable. Be strong when you are strong. The more powerful the opponent, the more likely it is that Gu will become stronger than the opponent. After experiencing so many things and being able to move freely in the time-god space where time was suspended, Gu De has gradually understood. He is unreasonably strong. It is indeed invincible and powerful. "Get out of the way." Gu De casually threw aside the Saipan whose neck he had chopped off. Perhaps it was a common feature of wearing gargoyle masks, but Saipan's originally crooked neck quickly recovered. An even more ferocious storm and momentum erupted from him and rushed straight towards Gu De. "I...I will not allow outsiders to destroy the mansion that Master Germain has put so much effort into building." Gu De's face froze when he heard this. I thought Saipan had realized that working every day, often working overtime, having no goals or direction, and feeling that life was meaningless, had begun to not want to be a human being. Now it seems that he is staying here just to maintain this mansion? Judging from his appearance, he is not very clear-headed and is only thinking about... protecting this mansion. Thinking of this, Gu De felt compassion in his heart. A serious punch! So he punched Saipan with even more force and knocked him to the ground. "That's enough. I didn't come here to destroy anything." Saipan was hit hard by Gu and fell to the ground with his face covered, feeling dazed. My originally unclear mind became much clearer after being hit by the punch. "I can guess what the general situation is. After I left, Germain still didn't want to give up this mansion. He was still racking his brains to revive it, but the result was not satisfactory. This mansion still couldn't escape the fate of being blocked and rebuilt." Gu De looked at Saipan and said, "Then you were also very distressed there, thinking about how to help Germain but you were still powerless, so you could only stop being a human being. Relying on the obsession in my heart, I frantically drove away the people who came here. " Saipan's originally cloudy mind became clearer after hearing what Gu De said.
Just as Gu De said. The situation is pretty much the same. "It's time to escape from reality instead of thinking about accepting it," Gu De sighed. "You want me to accept the reality... I can't do it." Saipan said gritting his teeth after his consciousness became a little clearer. Saying... Saipan:? "You're asking me to escape reality?" What he heard from Gu De was to escape from reality instead of accepting it? Whether in the past or now. The Mr. Dior in front of me is really good at making shocking remarks. It's as if any logic and rules don't apply to him. He will break away from it and come up with another answer that makes people feel incredible. "Yes, I let you escape from reality. There is no point in you staying here and chasing people away, and the mansion will not be revived because of you. If I am not mistaken, there should be another place where you can escape from reality." "Where?" Saipan was subconsciously guided by Gu De and followed Gu De's rhythm. "Of course it is..." Gu De smiled softly: "In the painting." ?Turn + * 峮 * (stay, % ^ sulfur % ear @ stay, {(0) $ # ^ diamond + ８? 贰] ２ @ "In the painting?" "Yes, follow me to the second floor." Chapter 96: Closed Loop Under Gu De's persuasion, Saipan was also convinced by Gu De and followed Gu De obediently. After all, there is no way to refuse to listen, he can't beat him. Walking to the place where the Thinker sculpture was originally located in the front hall, you can see that the upper body of the thinker who was concentrating on thinking about some difficult problem has disappeared, leaving only a bust. This person can no longer be called a thinker but a half-body. "This……" "Sometimes when we're having a lot of fun, it's easy to cause some damage," Saipan said with a wry smile. Gu De: (? ? ?) You're better off just having fun. The entire mansion seemed very dim, with light barely filtering in through the old windows, illuminating the faded furniture and dilapidated walls.
The layout of the mansion is full of traces of time. The paint on the wall has peeled off, revealing the dull stone-gray wall. The worn furniture was placed in every corner of the room, looking old and faded. Some furnishings and decorations were scattered on the ground, like forgotten memories. When Gu De stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, a creaking sound broke the silent air. A normal person would be horrified by the noise that happened at this moment, but Gu De didn't know why he didn't feel any fear at all. This made him think of the battle with Loki. Although he forgot what happened, he seemed to lose his emotions sometimes after beating the other person up. Enter a sage mode with no desires or demands. call…… It's really scary that even my hair will fall out. After all, it’s not unprecedented that I became bald and then became stronger. Every step up to the second floor was accompanied by a terrifying sound, as if an invisible hand was gently fiddling with one's nerves. The wooden planks of the stairs were loose due to years of disrepair, and one could not help but worry about breaking a piece and falling into the abyss of darkness. In particular, every time he took a step forward, he could hear Saipan's strange screams. "Jie~" Every step. "Jie~" Saipan laughed strangely. "Ouch, what are you doing?" Gu De couldn't help it, he stopped and looked at Saipan: "If you do this again, I will twist your neck off." "No, no, no." Saipan quickly covered his mouth: “I’m just used to it. After all, this is the scariest place when someone comes. Those who want to destroy this place will be frightened and lose their balance when they step onto the stairs and hear my smile, and some will even fall down the stairs. " Saipan noticed that Gu De's face was becoming increasingly speechless and said, "Of course, Mr. Dio, you obviously wouldn't be like that." I had to go up the stairs again. It is exactly as Saipan said. As the creaking sound continues, people will feel the fear gradually spreading. Coupled with Saipan's strange laughter, the air seemed to be filled with an evil atmosphere, which made every nerve of the person tense. In this terrifying atmosphere, almost every muscle in the body could be felt trembling, as if something terrible would appear at any time. "It's me, Dio!" Gu De also pointed at himself and called out.
"Mr. Dior, what are you doing?" "You are the only one allowed to go crazy, but I am not?" Saipan: ... Just walk up the stairs and go up to the second floor. Gu De and Saipan arrived at the innermost room on the second floor smoothly. Leave the door open. Almost everything else in the room had been cleared away, leaving only an empty canvas stand.
