GOR Chapter 611 Stick-like Body?

Roddy watched as a flower of blood blossomed out from Chen Xiaolian’s head . Next, his body fell limply on the floor . Sweat oozing out from his entire body, Roddy himself fell on his buttocks upon the sofa .

The Lifehymn Music Score immediately sent a prompt to his personal system, asking him, the prop holder, if he wanted to resurrect Chen Xiaolian .

There were three options: Yes/ No/ Postpone . Roddy cautiously selected Postpone . After that, a countdown timer appeared in his personal system’s interface .

[Present stored life: (1/3) . Time remaining for life storage: 239:59:21 . ]

Following the appearance of a green coloured beam of light, Chen Xiaolian’s body, which was on the floor, disappeared .

Roddy released a sigh of relief . Although he knew that Chen Xiaolian would be resurrected in the end, having to kill his own best friend was extremely discomforting . At least now he no longer had to look at Chen Xiaolian’s corpse .

240 hours later…

Xiaolian, you will come back .

And, you will bring Qiao Qiao with you!

…

The engines roared as the airplane landed heavily on the runway . During the cruising phase, the plane shook bumpily twice before slowing down .

The captain of the airplane, a coarse-looking man who looked like a bear walked out from the cockpit and stood at the end of the cabin aisle . He laughed loudly and said, “Ok, dear passengers . Let us celebrate this smooth landing! Welcome to Moscow!”

He took the lead and a warm applause rang out from within the cabin .

Nicole raised her wrist to check the time . They had arrived 15 minutes earlier than expected .

“Russian airlines . ” Tian Lie shrugged with a look of indifference . “You need to get used to the way of Russians . ”

After getting off the airplane, Tian Lie led Nicole out of the airport . They got on a cab and gave the driver an address .

“Sit tight, my Khitan friend!” The cab driver laughed before stepping down on the accelerator to its limit . An ear-piercing, grinding sound came from the car tires as it barrelled forward .

Half an hour later, the cab came to a stop before an old building .

Appearance wise, it would appear that the building was at least 50 years old . The entire building had the leftover atmosphere of the Soviet era .  

“Khrushchyovka building?” After paying for the cab fare, Tian Lie stood before the building and looked up at the mottled surface of the building wall . “Truly… … an imprint within history . ”

“This is the place you mentioned? The location of the backdoor leading to Zero City?” She wrapped an overcoat over her body . Although she was an Awakened, she had not taken the physical enhancement route . Thus, her body was somewhat unaccustomed to the cold weather in Moscow .

“This is the place . Let’s go . ” Tian Lie nodded his head and was the first to stride into the small building .

During Khrushchev’s reign, countless of these five-storey residential buildings were constructed on Soviet Union lands and distributed among the workers . As time went by, the Soviet Union’s end and the decline in Russian population had led to the demolition of some of these Khrushchyovka buildings . Some were abandoned and some turned into rental apartments .

A pile of trash sat in the corner of the building entrance and some of its balconies had flowers . Clearly, this building was occupied .

“It is a little strange…”

Tian Lie led Nicole with him to the third floor . Standing before room number 301, he had uttered out that word .

“Strange?”

“These Khrushchyovka buildings were only built in the 1950s . No matter how you look at it, there is no way this building could be here earlier than that . Those two ancient monsters… how could they have left a back door here?”

“What is wrong with that?” Nicole was puzzled .

“Oh, right . You weren’t there back then . You do not know about that matter . ” Tian Lie gave Nicole a glance and nodded his head . “Those two old monsters mentioned that they were being held down by each other and were unable to leave the instance dungeon . This situation has continued for a long time . However, this back door could not have been built for longer than 70 years…”

“Why do you care so much about it? We’ll worry about it after we get in . ” Nicole gave Tian Lie an impatient look . “Use the key to open the door . ”

“They did not give me a key . Still… … it is all right . ” Tian Lie shrugged . After glancing sideways to ensure that there were no other tenants walking by, he stretched out his right index finger and pressed it upon the door lock .

A stream of data flow flashed across the surface of his index finger and a thin line extended out from it to enter the keyhole . Moments later, following a clicking sound, the door was opened .

“Let’s go . ” Tian Lie pushed open the door and entered the room together with Nicole .

The furnishing of the room maintained the Soviet Union style from the 1950s . Appearance wise, it would seem that the door had not been opened for decades . Both the floor and the furniture were covered by a thick layer of dust .

“What next?” After closing the door, Nicole glanced at her surroundings and asked Tian Lie .

“Next…”

Tian Lie walked forward . Pushing open the door of a room, he walked inside .

It was a bedroom . The furnishing inside were limited to an ordinary double bed, a coat rack and a wardrobe .

Tian Lie opened the wardrobe, which was revealed to be empty of clothes . The only thing inside was a black coloured stone . The stone was roughly half a metre square in size and had a twisted appearance .

Tian Lie extended his hand to brush off the layer of dust on top of the stone to reveal a small narrow hole on the surface of the stone .

“The old monster was not lying . ”

With a nod of his head, Tian Lie pulled out the small blade from his chest . Without pulling the blade from its sheath, he slid the blade into the hole on the stone .

The moment the blade was inserted, the stone began to hum . Next, a faint green light shone out from one end of the stone . The light shone upon the bed in the middle of the room .

Under the illumination of the green light, the double bed began flashing a few times . Next, the colour of the bed became weak and it turned translucent .

“All right, let’s get on the bed . ” Tian Lie straightened himself and turned to look at Nicole with a provocative smile .

“You… … what did you say?” Nicole was stunned .

“I said, get on the bed . Do you not understand those words?” Tian Lie, who had already reached the side of the bed, grinned . Without even pulling off his shoes, he sat down and proceeded to lay on the bed . “This is the entry method that the old monster told me . If you have any objections, don’t take it up with me . Go pester the old monster in the instance dungeon . ”

Having said that, Tian Lie extended a hand to pat the empty half area of the bed .

“You…” Nicole gritted her teeth and sent a glare at Tian Lie . However, there was nothing she could do about it . Walking to the side of the bed, she laid herself on the other half of the bed .

At any rate… … this is just for a moment .

“Why isn’t the teleportation starting up?” Not seeing the familiar teleportation beam from Zero City after having laid down for a few seconds, Nicole turned to see that Tian Lie had his eyes closed .

“You need to be asleep for it to work . ” Tian Lie opened one eye and looked at Nicole . “If you do not sleep, the teleportation cannot begin . ”

“What?!” Nicole jumped out from the bed and stared at Tian Lie with widened eyes . “Why would there be such a weird procedure? I have entered and exited Zero City many times . Never have I heard of a need to… … to sleep!”

Tian Lie closed his eyes once more and said leisurely, “This is a backdoor . Like I said, if you have any objections, do not take it up with me . Go find the two old monsters . ”

“You… … you are not lying to me?” Nicole glared at Tian Lie .

“Lie to you?” Tian Lie opened his eyes and regarded Nicole, who was now seated by the bed, from top to bottom before saying in a ridiculing manner, “What scheme could I have? Your stick-like body? Hurry up . If you want to follow me to Zero City, be nice and just go to sleep beside me . If you don’t want to, just get out . Oh, remember to close the door when you leave . ”

Having said that, Tian Lie closed his eyes once more . However, he appeared to disagree with the height of the pillow . Reaching out with his hand, he adjusted it for a bit . After that, he lay there silently with an easy-going expression .

Nicole bit her lip . Looking at the leisurely expression on Tian Lie’s face, she could only suppress the feeling of discomfort as she lay down beside him .

However, despite closing her eyes, Nicole was unable to calm her mind .

The room must have seen no visitors for decades . Despite the cold weather in Moscow, there was still some mouldy air in the room . The mouldy air found its way to Nicole’s nose, causing her nose to feel itchy . However, she was unable to sneeze .

I, Nicole, the Floating Angel of the Angel Corps had many suitors back in Zero City . You actually called me a stick-like body woman?

Tian Lie, who was beside her, had begun snoring .

The two of them were lying close to one another, almost shoulder to shoulder . The snore became like blasts of air . The sound relentlessly blasted Nicole’s ear .

“Enough! stop sleeping!”

Nicole, who could no longer stand it, sat up . Looking at the still sleeping Tian Lie, she sent a kick over .

Bang!

As Nicole’s leg was about to reach Tian Lie’s body, his eyes swiftly flew open . His right hand shot out from an angle that would have been impossible for ordinary humans and his palm caught Nicole’s kick by the toes .

Even in his sleep, an expert like Tian Lie would never let his guard down against surrounding dangers .

“What are you throwing a ruckus for?” Tian Lie narrowed his eyes . An icy atmosphere exuded out from the depths of his eyes .  “Are you not done?”

“Knock me unconscious . ” 

“What?” Tian Lie was taken aback .

“I can’t go to sleep,” said Nicole coolly . “According to what you just said, the two people on this bed must fall asleep before the teleportation can begin, right? I must go to Zero City, but I cannot sleep . So – knock me unconscious!”

Tian Lie lowered his head . Then, he narrowed his eyes at Nicole again . “Knock you unconscious? Are you not afraid that I might do something to you after you faint?”

There was an indifferent look on Nicole’s face . She tilted her neck forward ever so slightly and looked at Tian Lie . “What could you be scheming? You want my stick-like body?”

“You have a point . ” Tian Lie grinned and nodded . Without saying anything else, he extended his right hand and swiftly struck Nicole’s slender neck with it .

Nicole’s vision turned black and her body fell limp onto Tian Lie’s body .

Tian Lie placed both his palms under his head and laid himself down on the bed once more .

Soon, a snoring sound could be heard once again .

At the same time, two beams of light descended from the ceiling, enveloping both Tian Lie and Nicole within them .

With a swooshing sound, the two of them disappeared .

The faint green light coming from the stone inside the wardrobe too, dimmed away .
