Chapter 34 Life hangs on a thread

Yun Ci moved his lips, his voice hoarse: "If...if the other person is an old man, if the other person is suffering from a terminal illness, if the other person is in any fatal danger..."

Gu Jingwen nodded, confirming her inner thoughts: "Your life is like hanging on a string, and there is danger at any time."

Her life was controlled by others.

On the contrary, she also controls the lives of others.

Yun Ci slowly closed her eyes, her face dead silent, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a huge hand, making it hard for her to breathe.

Everything was like a nightmare.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Gu Jingwen still sitting opposite her, looking at her with concern.

It wasn't a dream after all.

"When did this mark appear on your body?" Gu Jingwen asked.

"After I disappeared, I found this mark on my body when I came back. It didn't hurt, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Gu Jingwen seemed to be thinking: "According to what you said, it is certain that you were infected with the Gu during the time you were missing."

Unfortunately, she had lost her memory of what happened when she disappeared, and no one knew why she was poisoned.

"What do you want to do next?"

Yun Ci didn't say anything.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes narrowed, she fastened her collar, dragged her schoolbag, and walked quickly to the door: "I won't eat dinner yet."

Gu Jingqing stood up hurriedly: "Ah? Where are you going?"

With a bang, the door was slammed.

Yun Ci followed the navigation and found a dilapidated residential building.

Gray walls and rusty iron doors.

The stairwell was narrow and damp, and the air was filled with choking dust.

Arriving on the fourth floor, Yun Ci knocked on the security door.

The person who opened the door was a woman wearing a linen dress, with her hair tied up behind her head. She smelled of cooking fumes and looked like an ordinary housewife.
Strangely, she also covered her eyes with white silk.

Yun Ci said politely: "Hello, I am Le Tong's classmate."

The woman smiled gently and wiped her wet hands on her apron twice: "It's a classmate, please come in." She welcomed Yun Ci into the house, took him to the bedroom, and knocked on the door.

"Xiaotong, your classmates are here."

Soon, the door was opened.

Le Tong stood at the door, facing Yun Ci, with a look of surprise on her face, and did not speak.

"You guys chat first, I'll go cook." The woman turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Le Tong then spoke: "Come in."

Yun Ci walked into the bedroom and looked around.

The small space was fairly tidy. The quilt was neatly folded on the single bed. The desk lamp was on, illuminating the homework book on the desk.

"It's a small place, sit anywhere you want." Le Tong pointed at her bed and asked curiously, "How did you find my house?"

Yun Ci sat down beside the bed: "What I want to investigate is not difficult."

Such an arrogant tone.

"What do you want from me?"

Yun Ci didn't beat around the bush. He pulled open his collar, pointed at the cinnabar mark on his skin, and said straight to the point, "Help me get rid of this poison."

Le Tong shook her head: "Sorry, I can't."

Yun Ci narrowed his eyes, obviously not quite believing it: "You are a member of the Menglai tribe, you are good at making and placing Gu, but you don't know how to remove it?"

Le Tong's expression was sincere, and it didn't seem like she was lying: "The Life and Death Together Gu is a forbidden technique of our Menglai. I am not qualified to learn it at my level. Only the four elders can unlock it."

"Where to find them?" Yun Ci asked.

Le Tong still shook his head: "Since two years ago, the four elders have become erratic."

Yun Ci's heart sank a little bit: "So... there is no way to cure this poison?"

"If you can find them, it can be solved."

How to find a needle in a haystack?
Even this last glimmer of hope was cut off.
