Chapter 92: Rest in the Inn
Gu Yi turned the dagger hard to enlarge the wound.
Blood flowed out, dyeing the lake red.
Mr. Rat made a "clucking" sound in his throat and instinctively pushed Gu Yi out. A crack appeared on his back and countless little mice ran out.
However, once the mice hit the water, they lost their mobility and tumbled underwater.
Mr. Rat pushed Gu Yi away.
Gu Yi pounced on the water with his feet and stabbed Mr. Rat's neck with the dagger in his hand.
“Huh——”
Mr. Shu was completely speechless. He grabbed Gu Yi's wrist and his eyes gradually became dim.
Gu Yi was so bloodthirsty that he stabbed Mr. Rat three or four times before he let go of Mr. Rat's body.
"Ah! Murder!"
Passersby on the shore screamed.
Under the stimulation of adrenaline, Gu Yi felt a sense of pleasure for no reason, but not long after, he felt a sense of fear, and the wounds on his wrists and chin began to hurt severely.
Gu Yi quickly swam under the bridge and took out emergency medicines and bandages from his bag to bandage himself.
The first aid kit is very waterproof and the bandages remain very dry.
Gu Yi's wrist cutting just now was just an act. He didn't cut the aorta at all. It's just that he used too much force when he stabbed the chin just now. The wound is quite deep. There is no way to stop the bleeding without suturing it.
Sirens sounded in the distance.
Gu Yi simply bandaged the wound on his wrist, covered his chin with his hand, and swam downstream along with the current.
It was not until ten minutes later that Gu Yi climbed out of the water and jogged to the shore.
Gu Yi walked into the back streets and alleys and found a shabby little hotel.
"Get me a room."
The hotel owner's face trembled with fear when she saw Gu Yi covered in scars and blood.
"You...you...I'll call an ambulance for you..."
Gu Yi took out a knife and put it against the boss lady’s neck. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I want you to get me a room.”
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you right away."
The proprietress quickly took out the key and handed it to Gu Yi.
"Have you got a needle and thread?"
"what are you up to ?"
"Come with me, with your needle and thread."
Gu Yi put a knife to the proprietress's neck and walked into the room.
Just now, Gu Yi took some time to deduce that it would take about another thirty minutes for the police to track down this hotel, so he had plenty of time to rest and receive treatment.
Gu Yi sat on the sofa, untied the bandage on his chin, and blood immediately flowed out.
Even though Gu Yi possessed strong mental strength, he could hardly bear the bleeding for such a long time.
"You... hurry up!" Gu Yi pointed at the sewing kit and said, "Help me sew up the wound."
"I...I don't know how to do it. I'll call a doctor for you..."
Boom!
Gu Yi stabbed the knife into the coffee table with his backhand, scaring the hotel owner.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
"Okay, okay."
The proprietress nodded, and under Gu Yi's instruction, she used a lighter to warm the needle, and then sewed up Gu Yi's wound like sewing clothes.
Gu Yi's dagger was always against the proprietress's belly.
The boss lady's hands kept shaking.
"Hold steady, don't panic."
“S-sorry.”
The proprietress swallowed hard and looked at Gu Yi with some fear.
The young man was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an extremely pale face, but a very strong will. The needle and thread pierced his chin, but he didn't even groan.
You know, he didn't use any anesthetic at all!
Gu Yi's eyes were wide open, but his mind was still full of thoughts.
After returning to the watch world, Gu Yi always had a question, that is, why the countdown in the mobile phone still did not disappear?
Could this so-called surface world be another illusion?
For this reason, before killing Mr. Rat, he deliberately tested Mr. Rat and said that it was all a dream.
Mr. Rat denied it flatly, but this did not escape Gu Yi's eyes. His powerful mental strength told him that Mr. Rat was clearly lying.
This world is still in a dream, but it is closer to the real world than the island town. The countdown on the mobile phone is the best reminder.
Secondly, there are two clues that Gu Yi has always ignored.
One was a contract with unclear text found in a secret room in the basement.
The second is the other half of the eyepatch in the basement.
The contract only listed one name, "Gu". I presupposed that this was my sister, but is it possible that this "Gu" refers to "me"?
Could the other half of the eye mask in the basement be my ticket?
Have I ever made a deal with Dark Moon?
"Handsome boy? Handsome boy?"
"Um?"
Gu Yi suddenly raised his head and found that the proprietress was looking at him with fear on her face.
"The wound has been stitched up."
"Um."
Gu Yi nodded and stood up from the sofa.
I had been concentrating on thinking just now, so I didn't feel anything. It was only at this moment that Gu Yi felt the pain.
The proprietress looked at Gu Yi, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
"Can you lend me a set of clothes? My clothes are all dirty."
"Uh...wait a minute."
The proprietress left the room and Gu Yi followed closely.
"This is my son's clothes. He is about the same height as you. You should be able to wear them."
The proprietress took out a set of clothes and stuffed it into Gu Yi's hands.
Gu Yi quickly put it on, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and bloody phlegm sprayed on his palms.
"you are sick?"
"No, it should be internal injuries."
"Are you a gangster?"
"Heh..." Gu Yi sneered, "It's even more terrible than that. I'm an arsonist."
"Kid, what's your problem? Maybe I can help you. There's no need to go to a dead end."
The proprietress felt that Gu Yi was not a bad person, so she stepped forward to persuade him.
"Auntie, if I tell you that you are actually living in someone's dream, and I want to wake up the dreamer, what would you think?"
The proprietress tilted her head and didn't understand at all.
Gu Yi shook his head. He knew that these people could never understand what he said.
According to the deduction results, the police will be here in ten minutes and I have to leave immediately.
"Child, wait."
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
The proprietress came up and held Gu Yi's hand, "Son, where are your parents? Why don't you think about your own parents?"
"Gone."
"Grandpa and grandma, no grandpa and grandma either?"
"My grandmother just passed away a few days ago."
"Then where is your hometown? Don't you have any relatives there?"
"Hometown ..."
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment.
"Auntie, do you know this place called Roundabout Town?"
"Ah, I know." The proprietress blinked, "Are you talking about the neighborhood in the east of the city or the town next door?"
"Where's the next town?"
"Huandao Town is an old name, and only our older generation called it that. Now it has been renamed Huangdao Town. If you take a taxi there, half a day is enough."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Gu Yi took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and threw it into the aunt's hand. "Although I am reluctant, I still have to go. You will definitely make a fortune."
