MTL - The Old Gods Are Whispering-Chapter 6 go home

  Chapter 6 Homecoming

  Since Gu Jianlin learned to profile, he often sees things that cannot be explained by common sense.

  That is a personality portrait drawn based on clues. Generally speaking, it only takes a moment of observation to analyze the other person's occupation, mental state, and health. It's just that after the car accident, he has an additional spiritual vision-like effect.

  If you want to get a more complete personality portrait, you need more careful observation.

  The only in-depth profile is for the mysterious unicorn mask I got today.

   In the end, something went wrong, which led him to enter that ancient mausoleum as Venerable Qilin.

  He thought the matter would come to an end like this, but the black unicorn that appeared in the mirror really surprised him.

   "Damn it."

  Gu Jianlin murmured, "Have I become a unicorn?"

  He touched his body again to confirm that there was no abnormality, and then he was relieved.

   After calming down, he thought about what was going on.

  Because his profile has become a habit, anyone who sees it will subconsciously analyze it.

   And after he saw himself in the mirror just now, he also subconsciously used profiling.

  However, the result of the profile turned out to be a unicorn!

  In retrospect, the reason why I traveled to that ancient tomb and was regarded as an ancient **** who came back from the dead was all because he wore a unicorn mask, and perhaps it had something to do with the profiling.

  Currently, what was recorded in that post is true, and it is just a metaphor for the game.

  For example, the five people headed by the old man entered this copy of the game similarly as players.

  Gu Jianlin was different.

  Although he also entered this game copy, his identity is not a player, but he inherited another person's account.

   No, not man, but God.

  Still using the game analogy, a normal person enters the server, creates an account according to the process, and then upgrades on the map to fight monsters and do tasks.

  Gu Jianlin entered the game and became an NPC in the background story, or a behind-the-scenes Boss!

   But he can return to the real world again.

   That is to say, he also has player authority and can log in or log out freely.

  According to the legend in that post, Venerable Qilin was suppressed and killed by Venerable Candle Dragon and sealed in the ancient mausoleum.

  Thinking about it this way, the last black keel bones that Gu Jianlin saw could be explained, that is the imprisonment of Venerable Zhulong.

  If it wasn't for the passage of too long, the power left by Venerable Candle Dragon has also weakened. I am afraid that when he had the idea of ​​breaking free from the shackles, he would be directly shocked to death by that terrifying power.

  The unicorn mask may not have disappeared, but has completed a certain degree of integration with itself.

  As for the real Venerable Qilin, he doesn't know where he went.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be because of the unicorn mask. I profiled the mask in depth, and then I saw a unicorn, and that unicorn ran towards me, so I traveled to the unicorn fairy palace. At the same time , I woke up from the coffin that should have belonged to Venerable Qilin, and then I was regarded as Venerable Qilin by a group of fallen people."

   "The point is, the seal that Venerable Zhulong used to imprison Venerable Qilin seems to have been passed on to me."

"So it's not that those five fallen people are stupid and mistook a human being for an ancient god, but that I really, in a sense, replaced Venerable Qilin and became a newly awakened man who had been suppressed for two thousand years. Old God."

   "Currently, I have already had some kind of connection with Qilin... No, maybe I have become a Qilin."

  Gu Jianlin stared at the black unicorn in the mirror, his expression and demeanor were exactly the same as his own.

  At this moment, he was not so afraid, because this was his own reflection.

  The mysterious unicorn mask does not seem to have disappeared.

   Instead, it changed him in some way he couldn't understand.

   "Go home first."

  Since Gu Jianlin used that syllable in the ancient tomb, his body has become extremely weak, and his stomach is growling with hunger.

  He barely picked up the suitcase and went out, locked the door, turned and went downstairs.

  This old community is located on Jiuhe Road in Shibei, about half an hour's drive from Shinan's new home.

  Mom’s new home has one living room and three bedrooms. I bought it with my new husband. It is decorated in a simple Nordic style, with a white base tone, and the furniture is very delicate, with a faint floral fragrance.

   This house was originally used by my mother and Uncle Su to live in one room, and my sisters lived in one room each.

  Because Gu Jianlin moved here, the two sisters simply lived together again.

  Anyway, my sister is already working, so she basically doesn’t go home, and she doesn’t feel crowded.

  When Gu Jianlin returned home, he was so hungry that he was about to pass out. He used to travel to various police stations for his father's affairs, and he often didn't eat for a whole day, but he never felt so hungry.

   Fortunately, there is really an egg fried rice, a steak, and a glass of milk in the microwave.

  Thank goodness, it's nice to have a younger sister who can cook.

  Gu Jianlin didn't even care about heating it up, and brought it directly to the living room, devouring it hungrily.

   It wasn't until he took in some energy that he felt a little more comfortable and regained the ability to think calmly.

"The known conclusion is that in the level that ordinary people can't touch, there is really an unknown world that belongs to the ancient gods and sublimators. So many phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense may not be fake."

  Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment, then said softly: "The opportunity for me to come into contact with the real world is all because of my father. Whether it's the case he investigated, the car accident, or the mysterious mask."

  The point is that he has come into contact with something completely beyond his past cognition.

   This means that nothing is impossible.

  Including the figure he vaguely saw when he was unconscious four months ago.

  Dad's death was definitely not a simple car accident.

  Since there are candle dragons and unicorns in this world, why can't there be ghost cars!

  When Gu Jianlin thought about this, he suddenly covered his face, and laughed in a low voice. Since his parents divorced, he has been a bit autistic, and he has seldom laughed for so many years, but this time he really couldn't help it.

   Smiling and laughing, his eyes became a little moist, and a soreness gushed out of his nasal cavity.

  He's not crazy, he's not out of his mind, he's not suffering from PTSD.

  He was right.

   "Dad is very likely to be a sublimator, so what is he doing all these years running around? Maybe we can continue to investigate along this clue, the premise is that I also have to become a sublimator."

  After calming down, it is time to start planning for the future.

  The extraordinary world is very dangerous, and you may encounter many desperadoes.

  Gu Jianlin is not afraid of death, but he cannot implicate others.

My mother loves him very much, and Uncle Su is also a very good and kind person, including their two daughters, and they have never had any rejection or resistance towards him, and they all sincerely want him to be a member of this family .

  Gu Jianlin didn't want to cause them any more trouble because of his own affairs.

   Fortunately, he will be able to take the college entrance examination soon.

   When the time comes, go directly to the outside of the province, and then concentrate on studying the matter of ancient gods and ascendants until the truth is found out.

  ·

  ·

  After Gu Jianlin had an idea in his mind, he stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth.

   After taking in energy, I finally felt a little more comfortable.

  He got up and cleared the dining table, planning to take a nap later.

  At this time, the sound of the key turning sounded outside the door, and the door was pushed open.

"I am back."

   It was still the girl's indifferent voice, clear and crisp like ice cubes.

  A slim and petite girl stood at the door, wearing a black sun visor, a loose casual shirt with white letters on a green background, paired with ultra-short denim hot pants, a pair of white and delicate legs are particularly eye-catching, and she is stepping on white sneakers.

  A head of short hair dyed light blue, setting off a snow-like delicate oval face, hanging down to the chin.

   At first glance, she looks like the kind of well-raised little girl, but it's a pity that she has an airport at a young age.

  Su Youzhu, seventeen years old this year, also studying in Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School, likes animation and photography.

  Gu Jianlin's nominal younger sister is a troubled girl.

"came back?"

  Gu Jianlin packed the tableware, nodded slightly: "Breakfast is delicious, thank you."

  He didn't ask where the other party went.

  Anyway, apart from comic exhibitions or shopping, this girl has no other entertainment outside.

   After all, they are not biological brothers and sisters, so there is no need to ask so many questions.

  Of course, it would be nice if the girl wouldn't ask him the bottom line.

"Um."

Su Youzhu took off her sun hat, shook her short light blue hair, changed her shoes skillfully and entered the room, sat down on the sofa, gave him a sideways glance, frowned and said, "Why are you eating the breakfast I made just now? go home?"

  Although they have only been together for a few months, the siblings are already familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses.

  Gu Jianlin is the kind of person who lives an extremely regular life and does things according to the rules, and also has a cleanliness habit.

  In the living room, the suitcases were spread out on the floor, the clothes were casually hung on the chairs, and the hair was still wet from the rain.

  If he had been home earlier, he would have showered first and packed everything up.

  Gu Jianlin naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he said perfunctorily, "Go to my dad's house and pack some things."

   "It takes so long to pack things? You won't go to the police station again?"

  Su Youzhu's black and white eyes stared suspiciously at the boy: "When will you be able to take care of your health if you continue like this? If mom finds out, you will feel better. She asked me to keep an eye on you all the time."

   Gu Jianlin was momentarily at a loss for words.

  Originally, if I live by myself, I don’t need to explain so much to others.

   But now being brought over by my mother, the situation is different.

  Although Gu Jianlin has not lived with his mother for a long time, the shadow of his childhood still remains to this day.

   Youzhu is right.

  That woman has all the unreasonable and domineering middle-aged women. She looks very gentle and easy to talk, but when she really wants to **** you, she can still roll up her sleeves, pick up a rolling pin, and greet your ass.

   I don’t care what you do.

   "It's okay, after all, you are helping me cover."

  Gu Jianlin said calmly, "Mom won't know."

  Su Youzhu was expressionless, and said coldly: "It's easy to say, do you know how difficult it is to match up with your mother? Every time you help her deal with her, I will break out in a cold sweat when I go back."

  Sometimes, Gu Jianlin also admires his mother's ability.

  The two sisters of the Su family look like spoiled young ladies.

   As a result, mother, as a stepmother, completely conquered the two of them in just a few years.

  Now the two sisters treat this stepmother even closer than their own mother.

  Gu Jianlin said casually: "Mom will still play against you, but if it was your father, you will be killed directly."

  Su Youzhu fell silent.

   This is because Gu Jianlin accurately pierced her mind.

  Actually, the two brothers and sisters did not meet four months ago. After all, they were studying in the same high school. The latter is a beautiful girl who is well-known in several nearby schools, and those who want to chase her will probably surround the entire playground.

  Su Youzhu is obsessed with animation and photography. Every cosplay photo is basically like a real person. She is very famous in the two-dimensional circle of Fengcheng, and she is also a big V on Weibo.

   But in terms of academic performance, it is terrible. He is always at the bottom of the age, and he will be called a parent from time to time.

  During the exam last year, it was said that I couldn’t even find the exam room, and the dog shook his head when he heard it.

  When the siblings met for the first time in the hospital, it was a shock.

  At the beginning, Gu Jianlin thought that girls with such problems would probably reject him as a troublemaker.

  After all, no one likes a stranger living in their home for no reason.

  However, the emotion that was written from the profile of Youzhu at that time was ecstasy!

   Yes, ecstasy.

  Under the cold and delicate appearance, there is a choppy... ecstasy.

  Gu Jianlin didn't know what was going on at first.

  When we got along later, this girl was unexpectedly kind to him. She prepared three meals for him every day, served him tea, water and medicine, and would come to the hospital to accompany him from time to time.

  Gu Jianlin sometimes felt that the face inherited from his father played a role.

   Until one day, when this girl sneaked into his room in her pajamas and stole his homework, he didn't realize it.

I see!

   "You don't want your mother to know that you are not recovering well, so you go to the police station every day?"

   "You don't want your father to know that you copy my homework every day, and you need my help in the exam?"

  So the two hit it off, each taking what they needed.

  Even though the two are not very talkative, their relationship has somehow improved. After all, only cooperation can win-win.

  Gu Jianlin will not be picked up by his mother.

  Su Youzhu will not be killed by her father.

  Plus, both of them are good-looking, so there is no reason to dislike each other.

   "Well...I won't tell my mother."

  Su Youzhu cleared her throat, and said with a straight face: "Where have you been these few days, I don't think I know."

  Gu Jianlin nodded with satisfaction: "I have finished my homework for the Tomb-sweeping Day and put it in the suitcase."

   "Well, when my mother asked me later, I didn't know what to say."

Su Youzhu was also very satisfied. She picked up a bag of takeaway, put it on the table, and said with a blank expression: "I bought your favorite cola chicken wings and stewed beef brisket with potatoes. If I had known that you only had breakfast now, I wouldn't have given it to you." You delivered food."

  Gu Jianlin smelled the aroma in the takeaway bag, but his stomach growled again.

  The black unicorn reflected in the dinner plate is also very hungry and thirsty.

  He didn't refuse his sister's kindness, and hurriedly said, "No, it's just in time."
