Chapter 61 – The things we see are different from what you see

Dragon Country’s Strange Tales Live Room.

Since last night, Dragon Country’s Strange Tales Live Room has been the most watched live room.

The reason is simple, He Gu not only triggered many different plotlines, but also successfully avoided taking the medicine.

The supernatural event response centers of many countries have even prepared to copy the answers from He Gu to challenge their own contestants.

“Damn, He Gu’s unlocked plotline is gradually pulling away from other challengers!”

“Sure enough, Old Ma is a key character. If it weren’t for meeting Old Ma, there wouldn’t be this subsequent plotline, and it would be difficult to discover so many secrets.”

“Damn, this instance is so terrifying. I always thought the supervisor was a good person, but I didn’t expect him to want to eat his subordinates!?”

“The scariest part is not eating immediately, but wanting to fatten them up first.”

“So… that white pill is actually a growth stimulant for the subordinates?”

“Geez… terrifying to think about…”

“I feel like He Gu is getting closer to the truth. He’s probably the first challenger to clear this instance.”

“Tch, your Dragon Country challengers just have a little better luck. Whether they can survive is still uncertain!”

“Hey, where did this yin-yang person come from? Go back to your own live room!”

“Shh… their own live room might already be blacked out.”

“Speaking of reason, pretending to take the medicine last night was simply a stroke of genius. You tell me, can this be done by luck alone?”

“Stop arguing, we’re about to see Old Ma. Let’s see what Old Ma has to say!”

……

The barrage in the live room was so overwhelming, and there were even many comments in other languages.

In general, many people now see He Gu as a guiding light.

At the same time.

Strange Tales World.

After entering the fire escape, He Gu ran up the stairs.

Soon, He Gu had reached the top floor.

After pushing open a rusty iron door, He Gu arrived at the rooftop of Building 17.

This was the kind of old-fashioned rooftop that had a sense of age. The entire rooftop was covered with a layer of cement heat insulation.

The heat insulation layer looked weathered, covered with moss, as if it would break through if not careful.

It was still dark, and there was no one on the rooftop, with the cold wind blowing, making it look a bit eerie.

He Gu took out his phone and checked the time. It was now 6:22.

It was still a few minutes before the agreed time of half past six. Old Ma probably hadn’t arrived yet?

He Gu took a deep breath of the cool air and carefully took a few steps forward, preparing to observe the situation on the rooftop first.

The rooftop was very spacious, in fact, there was nothing except for a few exhaust vents that looked like chimneys standing in the middle.

There wasn’t even a railing at the edge.

Out of caution for the Strange Tales World, He Gu chose a position far from the edge and sat down, quietly waiting for Old Ma to arrive.

After waiting for a few minutes, He Gu suddenly smelled a nauseating odor.

This smell seemed to be coming from the exhaust vent, smelling like the burnt smell of pork in a pot, mixed with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, very unpleasant.

He Gu wrinkled his nose and was about to move to a position away from the exhaust vent.

At that moment, a cat’s meow came from not far away.

“Meow~”

“Meow~”

……

Immediately after, the meows continued, and it seemed that there was a group of cats nearby!

He Gu’s body stiffened slightly, vigilantly looking around.

However, the rooftop was empty, and he didn’t find any trace of the cats.

Could it be in the hollow space below the heat insulation layer?

He Gu was a little nervous, after all, there was a rule related to cats in this instance, and He Gu had been scratched by a cat not long ago.

The next moment, He Gu finally knew where the meowing was coming from.

A cat with a black spot on its face crawled out of the exhaust vent not far away, jumped to the ground, and looked at He Gu with a lazy look, licking its paws.

Immediately after, a second, a third…

In a moment, five cats the size of a palm crawled out of the exhaust vent.

Because they had just crawled out of the vent, these cats were covered with dust, and there seemed to be some blood-like marks on their mouths and paws.

Seeing this scene, He Gu couldn’t help but feel a little creeped out.

Did these cats crawl into Building 17 through the exhaust vent to steal food?

With the lesson from last time, He Gu deliberately took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to carefully look around, confirming that there were only five cats here, and no black cat.

After confirming this, He Gu breathed a sigh of relief, took out a piece of ham sausage from his pocket, tore it open, and placed it in front of the cats.However, the five cats merely glanced indifferently at the sausage He Gu offered, then continued to lick their paws or fur with disdain, showing no interest at all.

Even two of the cats came closer to sniff He Gu, then lazily lay down by his feet, their eyes looking at him as if he were food!

He Gu felt a bit uneasy, but as long as he had offered the sausage, whether they ate it or not, it shouldn’t be considered breaking the rules.

It was just the look in those cats’ eyes that made He Gu somewhat uncomfortable.

Moving a bit further away from the cats, He Gu continued to wait for Old Ma to keep their appointment.

He Gu stood on the rooftop, constantly checking the time on his phone, feeling these last two minutes were exceptionally long.

Finally, it was 6:30.

Almost at the exact moment the time on He Gu’s phone switched to 6:30, the rusty iron door was pushed open.

A man in a blue work uniform came out, it was Old Ma.

At this moment, Old Ma looked exhausted, his complexion somewhat pale, his eyes filled with an undeniable unease.

Upon seeing He Gu on the rooftop, Old Ma let out a slight sigh of relief, stopped two meters away, and asked in a lowered voice, “No one knows you came to see me, right?”

He Gu shook his head: “No.”

Hearing He Gu’s response, Old Ma took two more steps forward, while He Gu imperceptibly stepped back two steps.

Seeing He Gu’s movement, Old Ma didn’t say anything, but suddenly asked, “Didn’t you take your medicine last night?”

At Old Ma’s words, He Gu’s heart skipped a beat, but he replied without changing his expression, “I did. Isn’t it mandatory to take the medicine every night between ten and ten-thirty to counteract the effects of ionizing radiation or something?”

Old Ma shook his head with a smile: “It’s good to be cautious, but lying to me about this is pointless.”

“In the factory area, anyone in blue with a bit more seniority can tell at a glance whether you’ve taken your medicine.”

Hearing this, He Gu’s mind buzzed as if it had exploded.

Still, He Gu forced himself to remain calm and asked without showing any emotion, “What do you mean by that?”

Old Ma sighed: “Being in blue doesn’t just mean you’re one rank higher and have one more level of access than you.”

“What we see with our eyes is different from what you see.”
