Chapter 97 Countdown to Life
Chapter 97 Countdown to Life
Only half an hour left.
Su Yutang's heart suddenly clenched, and she was terrified.
In a moment of desperation, she suddenly remembered that Gu Ruyan was extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods.
Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
She immediately forced herself to hide all the fear on her face, slowly lowered her head, and let her long hair fall loosely, covering her entire face.
next second.
She suddenly raised her voice and let out a sharp, eerie, inhuman cry.
"Gu Shi Ruyan—"
That shout was extremely strange.
Gu Ruyan paused, her expression changing slightly.
He didn't call her Gu Ruyan, but rather Gu Shi Ruyan, accompanied by that eerie and chilling tone, which sent a chill down her spine.
Gu Ruyan slowly turned around and stared intently at Su Yutang, who was tied to the stool.
The person remained motionless, head bowed low, hair disheveled and obscuring their face, making their expression impossible to discern, only exuding an indescribable eeriness.
A moment later, Su Yutang slowly raised her head and let out an extremely sinister and eerie laugh.
The laughter was cold and sinister, and Gu Ruyan was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately took two steps back uncontrollably.
Her voice trembled as she pointed at Su Yutang and exclaimed in shock, "You... what do you mean?"
Su Yutang remained calm and spoke slowly and deliberately, using that sharp and sinister tone to enunciate each word clearly.
"Gu Ruyan, in seven days, I will return as a vengeful ghost to haunt you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her head suddenly twisted a few times mechanically in an extremely contorted, stiff, and sluggish manner, completely unlike that of a living person.
The scene was so terrifying that Gu Ruyan was scared out of her wits and her legs were trembling.
Gu Ruyan trembled as she tried to remain calm.
"You...you're trying to scare me!"
Seeing that it was having some effect, Su Yutang immediately seized the opportunity and desperately searched her mind for any words she could think of.
"The cycle of heaven and earth, the interplay of Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams—all men must die sooner or later! Death may be as light as a feather, or as heavy as Mount Tai!"
"I, Su Yutang, have not yet reached the end of my lifespan."
"Today, to die at the hands of you, Gu Ruyan, would be a wrongful death."
"The souls of those who died unjustly cannot be reincarnated or enter the cycle of rebirth."
She suddenly laughed.
The smile twisted and tore at her face.
"My resentment will transform into a vengeful ghost in seven days, haunting you day and night, entering your dreams, and ensuring you never find peace for all eternity..."
After Su Yutang finished speaking, she started talking to herself again.
The voice was shrill and mournful, each word seemingly soaked in blood, echoing eerily in the empty, desolate warehouse, sending chills down one's spine.
"I died a terrible death... Give me back my life... Give me back my life..."
The last two mournful roars sounded like the ghosts of the unjustly killed were demanding their lives.
Gu Ruyan was a believer in these superstitious beliefs and ghosts, and the thought of being haunted by the ghosts of the wronged on the seventh day after her death made her panic.
Su Yutang's curse, each word dripping with blood, struck the very spot she feared most.
She could no longer hold on and felt a heat in her lower body.
Urine dripped down his pants, drop by drop.
Gu Ruyan, who was arrogant and ruthless just a moment ago, was now completely terrified.
A few minutes later.
Su Yutang shed her eerie and sinister aura and returned to her original appearance.
She pretended to be bewildered and looked at Gu Ruyan, who was slumped on the ground in a disheveled state, and asked in feigned confusion.
"Why are you still here? I'm about to be blown up. Instead of leaving, do you want to be blown to bits with me?"
Gu Ruyan shakily got up from the ground and slowly approached Su Yutang with unsteady steps.
"I'm asking you... what did you just... what did you just do? Tell me... what did you say?"
Su Yutang looked at her with a completely innocent and bewildered expression.
"What do you mean? What happened to me? I've been tied up here and can't move at all."
Seeing that she had completely returned to normal and was completely different from her eerie and sinister appearance just now, Gu Ruyan immediately concluded that the person who had spoken to her just now was not Su Yutang herself, but her ghost.
She raised her wrist, her hands trembling, to check the time.
There were only ten minutes left before the explosion.
No! Absolutely not!
She absolutely could not allow Su Yutang to become a vengeful ghost who died unjustly and return to claim her life in the future.
Gu Ruyan was so frightened that she couldn't speak coherently.
"Su Yutang... I... I, Gu Ruyan, have suddenly realized... I'm kind-hearted... I won't blow you up... I won't kill you..."
As she spoke, she hurriedly went around behind Su Yutang, frantically trying to remove the explosive pack strapped to his back.
Gu Ruyan had absolutely no idea how to defuse a bomb. The explosive charge had a complex wiring, and no matter how she touched it, she had no idea where to start.
Su Yutang kept her eyes tightly closed, so excited she almost cried out on the spot.
She actually succeeded by sheer luck, saving her life by pretending to be a ghost.
"I'm a fucking genius!"
She secretly admired herself.
Gu Ruyan was completely at a loss when faced with the intricate array of explosives, and in her panic, she cried out, "What do I do! I don't know how to disarm them!"
Su Yutang opened her eyes and turned to look at her.
"What did you say? You can't defuse it? Then hurry up and call someone! Whoever planted the bomb, call them to defuse it! Hurry, there's no time!"
"Okay, okay! I'll start right now!"
Gu Ruyan frantically reached for her phone, but after searching all over her body, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't brought her phone with her at all in order not to be disturbed, and had even turned it off.
"Oh no, I didn't bring my phone! Quick, give me your phone!"
"I lost my phone."
A wave of despair washed over Su Yutang, and she roared.
"Then hurry up and go find someone! Hurry!"
"Okay, okay! I'll go find someone right away!"
Gu Ruyan's words had barely finished when
The warehouse door was kicked open violently.
The three brothers, Gu Chengyan, Gu Huaiye, and Gu Xizhou, brought Zhao Dongchong in.
When they saw Su Yutang and Gu Ruyan, who were tightly bound to the stool, their eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and their anger almost set the entire warehouse ablaze.
"It really is you! Gu Ruyan!"
Gu Xizhou rushed forward like a madman, and before Gu Ruyan could react, he kicked her hard.
"ah--"
The force was so great that it sent Gu Ruyan flying several meters away, where she crashed heavily to the ground.
Gu Chengyan and Gu Huaiye immediately rushed to Su Su Yutang and quickly untied the ropes binding her.
Su Yutang frantically shouted, "There's a bomb behind me! Be careful!"
bomb?
The three brothers' expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at her back.
Sure enough, a huge bomb was strapped tightly to her body.
To prove his loyalty, Zhao Dong steeled himself and rushed forward. He stared at the bomb for a few seconds and said in a trembling voice, "This bomb... I've seen it in movies. It has three different colored wires. If you cut one of them correctly, the bomb will stop."
Gu Xizhou grabbed Gu Ruyan by the neck and roared, "How could you be so vicious? You actually wanted to blow her up? Tell me! Which wire? Which one did you cut?"
Gu Ruyan screamed in pain from being kicked.
"I don't know! I already regret it. I was just about to go out to find someone to dismantle it when you guys rushed in. I was just... I was trying to save her too."
Gu Chengyan's hands were trembling as he raised his phone to dial the police number, his voice cracking with urgency.
"I've found the person! Get to the abandoned warehouse in the easternmost part of the city immediately. There's a bomb there, and we need a professional bomb disposal expert! Hurry!"
Gu Huaiye crouched down, staring intently at the red countdown on the bomb.
His face was deathly pale, and he looked utterly desperate.
"It's too late! There are only three minutes left!"
