It's hard to bear! Back to the end of the world, the boss kneeled and begged for mercy

Chapter 4 Back Mountain
Gu Xi was very nervous on the way home.

I don’t know why Gu Cheng would live in their house.

As far as she could remember, she had never heard of Gu Cheng.

As for what to eat in the evening, Gu Cheng had no idea at all.

He is a mascot in this family, since Gu Xi's brother was accidentally killed by Gu Xi.

"We're home." Gu Cheng said expressionlessly.

Gu Xi opened the car door carefully. The familiarity of the scene made her feel uncomfortable.

"Come on, go wash your hands and have dinner."

When Gu Xi returned home, he saw his mother busy cooking and his father watching TV on the sofa.

She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

Suddenly I had the illusion that my parents were still alive.

My father said nothing at the dinner table.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Gu Cheng took the initiative to talk about the waiver letter.

Gu Zhenhua glanced at Gu Xi who was eating quietly, put down his chopsticks, and then said to Gu Cheng.

"Then what do you think, Xiaoxi, can your aunt and I sign a contract at this point?"

Gu Xi didn’t quite understand the content of their conversation, but since he needed to pass the customs, it was better to say less.

After all, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

There is no prompt for completing the task system.

Let’s see how the plot develops.

After hearing what Gu's father said, Gu Cheng, as a mentor, did not dare to make a promise casually.

"I think the annual awakening in the academy is still very important. If she really can't control it, why don't we accompany her to see Master Chenkong in the back mountain."

Gu Cheng had no other choice, after all, if the awakening failed, Gu Xi would be buried.

Buried in the hills behind the school.

The curfew on the floating island requires each family member to have 8 hours of shut-eye in order to earn points.

Curfew points can be used to redeem household supplies such as toilet paper, rice, flour, oil, salt, etc.

At the same time, curfew points can be used to awaken big skills and draw lots.

The probability of winning is 0.1%. If you fail, the side effects are random.

There are four major skill systems in awakening: fire, water, earth, and gold.

When he was young, Father Gu entered the lottery several times in order to awaken early, but he never won a prize.

And he also has a lot of problems.

However, Gu's mother was luckier. She followed the normal awakening route of Floating Island Academy, and later stayed in the school to teach because she gave birth to Gu Xi.

After being a mentor for a lifetime, he finally retired.

"Gu Xi is a child who has been different from others since birth." Gu's mother served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Gu Xi.

"Since the day for her to awaken is approaching, there are some things that are better for her to know." Mother Gu felt that she should tell the truth to her child.

After all, telling one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

If Gu Xi fails to awaken and is directly killed by the floating island, it will make her even more uncomfortable.

When Gu Xi heard the key words his mother said, he took the soup handed to him by his mother and lowered his head to take a sip.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xi asked back.

She thought that this must be the triggering keyword.

Just as Mother Gu was about to speak, Father Gu stopped her.

Father Gu lit a cigarette and said, "Let's go to Master Chenkong after dinner."

As Father Gu finished speaking, a series of frequent bell sounds were heard outside the door of the room.

"It's curfew time, let's take the side road."

Gu Cheng knew that if he was found out during curfew, he would probably lose his job.

Gu Xi wanted to see what was in the back mountain.

The first thing I saw when I entered this scene was the back mountain, and now it is the back mountain again.

Everyone quietly went out, wearing black cloaks and black hats.

When they arrived at the back mountain, Gu Cheng dug out an old boat from a pile of grass nearby. There was only one oar on the wooden boat.

The four of them boarded the boat with minimal noise, and the sound of water dissipated from around the boat.

"Mom, back mountain, what are we going to do?" Gu Xi tried to lower his voice on the way.

Mother Gu never expected Gu Xi to speak, and didn't wait for her to finish her words.

He quickly raised his hand and covered Gu Xi's mouth with his entire palm.

Make a gesture to silence.

If they were discovered by the floating island patrol at this time, not only would Gu Xi be buried, but his entire family would probably be buried as well.

Gu Xi almost suffocated because his mother held him down with a palm.

But seeing my mother looking so nervous.

She seemed to know that she shouldn't make any noise.

We paddled in the center of the lake at the back of the mountain for about 30 minutes.

I saw a big stone lion shining with golden light not far away.

Majestic yet weird.

Gu Xi thought, who would have only one good stone lion?

In her memory, stone lions have been placed at the gates of various mansions to protect the house since childhood, in pairs.

Could it be that he was taking her to see some monsters?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi felt a chill on his back.

Logically speaking, my mother shouldn't do this.

But since this is in the game, we have to be on guard.

She glanced at Gu's father and Gu Cheng out of the corner of her eye.

There was kindness in the eyes of both of them.

She wasn't so scared anymore for the time being.

Then the boat approached the stone lions.

Gu Cheng stretched out his hands and presented the oars with both hands.

He lowered his head and recited something that sounded like a spell, which she couldn't understand.

The stone lion banged!
The originally complete body.

A crack appeared right in the middle!

Through the crack, Gu Xi saw a secret passage.

A secret passage shining with golden light.

"Come." Gu Cheng took the lead and reached the entrance of the secret passage, then turned around and met Gu Xi and her parents.

They slowly crawled out of the secret passage.

What comes into view is a house with even the roof of the room shining with golden light.

There are 6 small gates around it.

There are different words printed on each small door.

"We are going to Master Chenkong's place. Remember to ask Gu Xi to make a sincere wish later." Gu Cheng signed to her parents.

Somehow, Gu Xi could actually understand it!

Make a vow? What kind of vow? I don’t understand.

Gu Xi realized that he might not be a very studious child. This floating island academy is most likely an awakening base?
So whether I am awake or not, why do I come to this forbidden area in the back mountain?
Not right.

The system has not made any sound so far.

Which step did I take incorrectly?

Will I be trapped in this place forever?

The more Gu Xi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Although the world before the binding system was already in ruins.

But it’s still much better than this weird place!

No, she had to find a way.

Then her parents entered a door with the word "Anger" in its name.

Gu Xi had no choice but to follow him in.

After passing through the door.

The temperature in the room suddenly became extremely high!
"This must be the hometown of Huoyan Mountain! It's so hot!" Gu Xi thought to himself, but did not dare to make a sound.

Looking at my parents in front of me, they didn't seem as hot as I was. There wasn't even a drop of sweat.

She looked up and saw a giant sculpture about 20 meters tall wearing a cassock sitting with its back to the crowd.

Gu Cheng stepped forward and said, "Master Chenkong, someone is coming!"

He clasped his hands together and shouted loudly, as if he was holding some formal ceremony.

Then the giant Buddha statue in a cassock slowly turned around.

Gu Xi looked up and her heart almost jumped into her throat.

Because on the face of the master named Chenkong in front of him, there was nothing except a huge eye.
