CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 179: BLOODBATH

Having not logged into the Gate of Hell for a long time, Gu Ningyue opened her computer and logged into the website.

She searched for Ling Yin’s name, but his homepage was already empty, with even the two previous posts having disappeared without a trace.

She rubbed her eyes, incredulously staring at the screen.

What happened? Deleted again?

Fortunately, the website had updated, and each homepage now featured a message board.

In such a short time, the messages on the board had already surpassed ten thousand.

Most were asking where Ling Yin had gone and were curious why he deleted the posts.

A few were speculating about the protagonist of the last post, whether he was alive or dead.

Gu Ningyue browsed through the messages one by one and finally found the ID that wanted to meet Ling Yin in person last time.

A VIP8 level big shot, still the same all-black avatar.

For some reason, Gu Ningyue remembered the avatar she saw on Chen Qinghui’s phone, also pitch-black, showing nothing.

Do people nowadays all enjoy playing deep and enigmatic?

"I know you’re avoiding me, I miss you very much, why won’t you show up to meet me?"

Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned; she had previously thought this person was a friend of Ling Yin.

But now, it seemed otherwise?

Why does it feel like a story of one pervert being hunted by another?

This twist is quite intriguing.

Did Ling Yin delete the posts because of this person?

This VIP8 level big shot, known as Wushuang on the Gate of Hell website.

Seems somewhat androgynous; it’s hard to distinguish the gender.

Last time, she tried using some means to find out more about this Wushuang, but just like with Ling Yin, there was no progress.

She doesn’t know who Ling Yin is, nor does she know who Wushuang is.

These two people, like the Gate of Hell website itself, are mysterious and unfathomable, impossible to investigate.

Gu Ningyue sighed, oh, if only my mentor were here.

With my mentor here, cracking this within the Gate of Hell wouldn’t be too big of a problem, right?

Alas, everything can’t go back.

Thinking of the first mission with the mentor, when the national website of U Country was hacked, the mentor collaborated with another big shot to resolve the crisis. Even now, the mentor’s operations then are still exhilarating to recall.

Wait, that big shot from U Country...

Exiting the Gate of Hell website, Gu Ningyue opened Baidu, quickly typed out a query, and hit search.

A row of titles appeared before her eyes, just what she was looking for.

"U Country’s national-level hacker visits K City, has dinner with the mayor of K City."

Seeing Kai Qi with her jet-black hair but emerald-green eyes on the page, Gu Ningyue flashed a smile.

As expected, Kai Qi came to Z Country.

More likely than not, she came because of the mentor!

After all, the mentor had said in person back then that they would only really consider the matter of a relationship if she came to Z Country.

Unexpectedly, she really came.

But now, where is the mentor? Still in the place they used to live?

Gu Ningyue had been avoiding this question since her rebirth, subconsciously sealing off everything that happened in her past life about the organization.

She hadn’t even tried to find traces of her existence after her death.

Thinking about it now, perhaps she already had some premonition back then?

How did she die, why did she die.

All of this may really have been caused by those closest to her.

Therefore, she’s rejecting the truth.

Everything leaves traces, but she just doesn’t want to admit it.

When did she become so cowardly?

Is it the emotions left in the body by the original owner?

Or is she inherently like this, but has never realized it?

Gu Ningyue shook her head; she’s really overthinking things.

The urgent task now is to find a way to contact Kai Qi, see if she can leverage her to find Ling Yin and Wushuang.

If possible, maybe she can see her mentor again.

Just as she was thinking this, Shen Hanyin suddenly called.

Gu Ningyue had just answered when an ear-piercing laughter came through.

This sound was extremely eerie, like a laugh rolling out from the throat, making even Gu Ningyue shudder involuntarily.

"Han Yin? Who’s with you?"

Shen Hanyin said, "I’m watching a circus show, thought I’d ask if you want to come? If you do, I’ll have someone pick you up."

Gu Ningyue let out a sigh of relief, "No, I’m having dinner with Ling Tianyou tonight to see Chi Xingtong off."

Shen Hanyin was a bit surprised to hear this, "Is Chi Xingtong leaving?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yeah, she’s going back."

Recalling everything Chi Xingtong had done for her before, Shen Hanyin paused and said, "Then I’ll treat her to a meal tomorrow! After all, she helped a lot with my matters."

"That sounds good." Gu Ningyue said, "I have some things to do tomorrow, so you two go ahead without me."

Before leaving the café today, she had already arranged to go out with Lin Ruixian tomorrow.

Shen Hanyin assumed she was going out with Ling Tianyou and didn’t ask further.

Before hanging up, Gu Ningyue asked, "Are there any issues these days? Anyone still following you?"

Shen Hanyin replied, "There was someone yesterday, but they disappeared today for some reason. However, my dad’s not relieved, so he hasn’t withdrawn the security."

Gu Ningyue felt slightly assured, "That’s good, call me if anything happens."

Last time, something happened, and Shen Hanyin almost lost her life. She can’t be careless.

At night, Ling Tianyou drove up to the entrance of the Gu Family villa and honked the horn.

Gu Ningyue got dressed and got into the car. From a window on the second floor, Gu Wanwan watched the slowly leaving sports car, her fingers already clenched into a fist.

Feeling smug, are you? In a few days, you’ll know what pain really is.

In the car, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou in a suit and asked, "Why are you dressed so formally?"

Chi Xingtong and Ling Tianyou grew up together. It’s just a meal; it doesn’t seem necessary to be so formal.

Ling Tianyou paused for a moment and said something that made Gu Ningyue incredulous, "Today, Chen Rui is also coming."

"Xingtong agreed?" Gu Ningyue asked, "Xingtong agreed to have dinner with Chen Rui?"

She was in such a hurry to leave, partly due to reasons related to Chen Rui.

And now, they were going to have dinner together, the four of them?

She had a feeling Chi Xingtong was forced to agree.

Sure enough, Ling Tianyou said, "Chen Rui heard Xingtong is leaving and specially called her today. Since the three of us had also planned a dinner, she said why not do it today? Besides, it’s been a while since we all gathered."

Gu Ningyue thought, Chi Xingtong is really pitiful; she’s bound to go through a tense situation today.

But it’s also good, as she’s curious about what kind of sparks Chi Xingtong and Chen Rui will have together!
