Chapter 247
Chapter 247
"Hey, it's dinner time! Come get your food!" one of Moli's henchmen shouted to the crowd.
Behind him were two large basins - one filled with bread cut into halves, and the other containing shriveled potatoes.
The sight of such a meager dinner made people's anger surge.
Someone, thinking that perhaps Gu Wanyin could really lead them out of here and free them from this misery, boldly shouted, "Go eat it yourself, pah!"
This sparked a chain reaction.
Once someone took the lead, others began hurling insults too.
They thought to themselves that they would be able to leave anyway.
Even if Gu Wanyin had deceived them and they couldn't escape, they were tired of living like this! They might as well rebel together!
"What are you doing? Do you have a death wish?" a man roared.
Another man asked, "Where's Baldy? Haven't seen him around."
Baldy was the most intimidating of Moli's henchmen.
So besides Moli, people feared him the most.
Sometimes when people tried to rebel, just one shout and glare from Baldy would be enough to suppress them.
"Don't know, haven't seen him around."
"Still sleeping? Go wake him up!"
But at that moment, Gu Wanyin approached.
"She's here, she's here!"
"Please take us away!"
"We all want to leave with you!"
When people saw Gu Wanyin, their desire to leave reached a fever pitch.
Their voices grew louder and louder.
"What nonsense are you all talking about?" one of Moli's henchmen mockingly shouted, "Without Master Moli's permission, you think you can leave? Keep dreaming! Now quiet down!"
But no one paid him any attention.
They were all enthusiastically welcoming Gu Wanyin.
The noise was giving Gu Wanyin a slight ringing in her ears, so she gestured for everyone to quiet down.
When the crowd calmed somewhat, she asked, "You all want to leave with me, is that right?"
"Yes! As long as you can take us away from here, we'll all go with you!"
Gu Wanyin smiled and said, "Very well."
Then, she spoke to the system in her mind: "System, you can bring out the carriage now."
"Yes, host."
Soon, a carriage appeared before everyone.
Everyone except Gu Wanyin was startled.
"Where did this carriage come from?"
"It just suddenly appeared!"
"What's going on?"
"Who brought this carriage here?"
Gu Wanyin looked at the ordinary carriage with some confusion.
"System, isn't this carriage a bit small? It looks like it can only fit five or six people at most! How will all these people fit?"
"Don't worry, host. This carriage contains an alternate dimension. While it looks small from the outside, the space inside is actually very large. These people will all fit easily."
"I see, that's good then."
Gu Wanyin clapped her hands and said, "Come, everyone, look at this carriage. You can board now! The space inside is very large, you'll see when you get in. One at a time, don't push!"
Moli's henchmen were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
What carriage?
Why should they board it?
Were they planning to leave this place? Did they have a death wish?
People hadn't expected Gu Wanyin to suddenly produce a carriage.
They were somewhat hesitant to board it.
After all, the carriage looked like it could only fit a few people.
But Gu Wanyin said the space inside was very large?
How large could it possibly be?
At this moment, the young man and woman whom Gu Wanyin had earlier brought out from Moli's room stepped forward and boarded the carriage first.
Then everyone heard the young woman let out a scream.
"What's wrong? What's inside?" others anxiously asked.
The young woman poked her head out and excitedly said, "Come up and see for yourselves! It's huge inside, enough room for all of us! Quick, come up!"
"Really? I'll go take a look too!"
People rushed to the carriage and began boarding one by one.
At this point, Moli's henchmen finally reacted.
"What are you all doing? Get down right now! Who gave you permission to board? You think you can leave? In your dreams!"
They tried to intervene.
However, Gu Wanyin snapped her fingers, and immediately a transparent bubble encased all of them.
"What is this thing?"
"Let us out!"
"Who are you really?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Someone go find Master Moli!"
They pounded desperately on the inside of the bubble, but it was futile.
By now, most people had boarded the carriage.
But a small number were still hesitating.
Some thought that since Gu Wanyin could conjure such a magical carriage and bubble... she must be a very powerful person.
The last powerful person they knew was Moli.
But given what Moli was like...
They were afraid that life with Gu Wanyin might be even worse than their current situation.
There were also some who simply didn't believe in the hotel she spoke of.
And they were so afraid of vampires that they'd rather stay here working themselves to death than face vampires outside.
"Everyone, there's still room in the carriage. Are you sure you won't come?" Gu Wanyin made a final offer, "The hotel I mentioned is real, and you won't regret it if you come."
"We... we dare not take the risk," one person said with a trembling voice, "We'd rather stay here."
"Yes, yes, and seeing these things you can do, you're clearly not ordinary. What if you turn out to be even worse than Moli?"
Gu Wanyin: "..."
Calling her bad was one thing, but saying she could be worse than Moli was too insulting!
Looking at these people, she knew that even if she showed them promotional videos of the hotel now, they wouldn't believe her - they might even be more frightened.
"I'll give you until I count to a hundred!" Gu Wanyin said, "Think it over carefully. If you don't board then, I'll leave with the others."
These few people looked back and forth between Gu Wanyin and the carriage, deeply conflicted.
After she finished counting to a hundred, Gu Wanyin sat at the front of the carriage and made one final announcement: "The hotel is real, and I won't harm you. This is your last chance - if you don't board now, I'm really leaving!"
After she said this, two more people ran onto the carriage.
But the others seemed determined not to go with her.
"Just go! We don't believe you!"
After saying this, they ran away.
Gu Wanyin had no choice but to drive the carriage away.
The people inside the carriage looked around in amazement.
"This carriage looked so small from the outside, who would have thought it had such a huge space inside!"
"Do you think that hotel she mentioned could be real?"
"Let's not worry about that now. Getting away from here is what matters."
