Chapter 258 : So That's How It Is
Chapter 258 - So That's How It Is.
At this moment, Ye Sheng felt as if she were dreaming, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Gu Luoyu!!!
Facing Ye Sheng's shocked gaze, her tear-reddened eyes were swollen, her cheeks still streaked with tears, her pitiful appearance making Gu Luoyu sighed softly.
In almost the blink of an eye, she was by Ye Sheng's side, cupping her face with her hands.
The distance between the two quickly closed until they were close enough to feel each other's breath.
Only when Ye Sheng clearly felt their warmth did Gu Luoyu continue, “Not long ago, a monster attacked. To prevent it from summoning companions, I had to chase after it. But before I left, I set up a psychic barrier, so the surrounding monsters wouldn't detect your presence.”
“...”
Alright!
So that's how it is.
Ye Sheng, maintaining her silence, realizing the real reason she had been foolishly waiting for the monster's arrival but never saw it.
But upon opening her eyes and not seeing Gu Luoyu, combined with the previous actions in the lottery space, it was natural for her to think that Gu Luoyu had activated the item for the Divine Trial!
In fact, ever since drawing this item, she had been worried.
Even if the item wasn't in Gu Luoyu's hands but remained with her, there was still a chance it could trigger... Perhaps Throwing away the Prophecy Stone earlier had given Ye Sheng inspiration, making her immediately think of a solution.
She reached out and grabbed Gu Luoyu's hands, staring directly at her, “Ah Yu, the dagger I gave you earlier, give it to me now!”
“?”
Knowing not why Ye Sheng suddenly wanted the dagger back.
Gu Luoyu's brows furrowed in confusion, but she didn't refuse, obediently taking out the snake-head dagger from her badge space. Its exquisite design makes it seem as if the black snake had come to life, just looking at it was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Ye Sheng didn't like this dagger either.
Even though it was the key item to activate the Divine Trial.
Therefore, Ye Sheng didn't look at it much, instead pulling Gu Luoyu forward a short distance, stopping only when she saw a river not far away.
Then, with all her strength, Ye Sheng threw the snake-head dagger into the water, disappearing in the night illuminated only by moonlight.
Bad things should be thrown away directly!!!
O (´^｀)O.
The feeling of finally getting rid of something bad made Ye Sheng felt instantly refreshed, her eyes sparkling with joy. She no longer had to live in fear.
Hahaha, the annoying lottery space, no matter how hard it tried, the item was gone, the outcome was doomed to fail... Gu Luoyu will never activate that lousy Divine Trial, gambling on the chance of survival.
However, if it were daytime, or if Ye Sheng had paid more attention to the snake-head dagger, she would have noticed some subtle differences in the dagger.
For example, the ruby on the snake-head handle had become dull.
And the blade had turned misty, as if made of compressed clouds, different from a real dagger.
Or, if Ye Sheng's vision were as sharp as an Esper's, she would have seen the dagger, after falling into the river, quickly dissolved into a cloud of black psychic energy.
The next second, it was recalled by its owner.
Gu Luoyu calmed the brief imbalance of psychic energy within her body, quickly returning to normal. She glanced at Ye Sheng's relaxed demeanor, knowing she had successfully deceived her this time.
It was also because the reward for passing the trial was gaining strength far beyond before, allowing her to come use her psychic abilities to quickly forge a snake-head dagger in an instant, using it to deceive.
Ye Sheng's initial guess wasn't wrong.
Gu Luoyu had indeed used the snake-head dagger to undergo the Divine Trial, even disappearing from her body and appearing in another forbidden zone, staying there for five years.
However, in the amusement park, it was only fifty minutes.
During this time, Gu Luoyu had no intention of confessing to Ye Sheng about her experiences in the forbidden zone. It was best to forget the terrible encounters there... Although, for Espers, the madness of killing and death fuels their fighting spirit.
Even under prolonged high-pressure environments, they didn't collapse, instead becoming more courageous under the threat of death.
But...
The relatives and partners of Espers were different.
Especially since Gu Luoyu had transformed the Divine Trial without Ye Sheng's knowledge, it was even more important not to reveal it.
The consequences of doing so could range from Ye Sheng giving her the cold shoulder to absolutely leaving home... Knowing Ye Sheng, she was indeed capable of such actions.
Regardless of whether Ye Sheng was pregnant, Gu Luoyu couldn't allow her to stay away for too long. The dangers of the wasteland world could appear at any moment, and one careless move could cost her life.
She didn't want to gamble on the possibility of Ye Sheng encountering danger.
However, Gu Luoyu didn't regret using the item to participate in the Divine Trial, as she had gained unexpected benefits. If before entering the amusement park, she could rank in the top twenty among the base's espers.
Now, she was certain she could take the first place.
The psychic sea within her body had expanded more than tenfold.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least ten years to reach this level... And with her enhanced strength, she could better protect Ye Sheng in this wasteland world.
And their child...
Thinking of these, Gu Luoyu's lips curled into a smile, her left hand no longer clenched behind her back. In her relaxed state, her sleeve was lifted by the night wind, revealing the numerous horrifying scars on her skin, crisscrossed together as if sewn up from a terrifying experiment.
However, under the powerful regenerative abilities of an esper, the scars were rapidly changing.
From scabbing and falling off, to gradually fading, until finally returning to smooth and fair skin.
Only the hard scabs on the ground prove that the wounds had truly existed.
...
The subsequent actions in the amusement park could be described as super smooth.
Not to mention the lottery, the amusement park's exclusive psychic gems were easily obtained by the dozens... Although each person could only use up to ten, and only Gu Luoyu could use them, they were very useful for exchanging points.
Eight hundred thousand lottery points each!!!
Besides the psychic gems, they also obtained a lot of materials, but unfortunately, few actual items. When they finally found an item, its attributes were trash.
Ye Sheng didn't even feel like putting it into the Lucky Pouch, directly exchanging it for lottery points on the spot.
Points are still the best~
Although Ye Sheng sometimes thought of the Prophecy Stone she had thrown away... Alright, she had been regretting it. If only she hadn't been so emotional back then, now she had missed out on a big treasure!
( ；∀；)
Beside her, Gu Luoyu watched Ye Sheng's face alternate between smiles and anger, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, suppressing a smile, while playing with a very familiar-looking stone in her hand.
