CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: GATE OF HELL

Gu Ningyue settled the bill and when she turned around with the sauced bones, the two of them were already back in their seats: "Let’s go???"

Ling Tianyou: "I’m dizzy."

Chi Xingtong: "Me too."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the twenty or so empty bottles on the floor. If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have stopped them a bit earlier.

"I’ll help her to the car first, you wait here for me." Saying this, Gu Ningyue placed the sauced bones on the table, then reached out to support Chi Xingtong, "Take it easy!"

Chi Xingtong’s face turned red, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with affection: "You’re really good-looking."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

As they stepped out of the shop, just as Chi Xingtong was about to get into the car, she suddenly grabbed Gu Ningyue’s wrist: "Gu Ningyue, do you really like Tianyou?"

"..." Gu Ningyue didn’t answer, "You’re drunk."

Gu Ningyue tried to pull her hand away, but Chi Xingtong clung onto her again: "If you let him down, I will definitely not let you get away with it."

"Be good, he’s still inside waiting for me. If he falls asleep, I won’t be able to move him." Gu Ningyue placed Chi Xingtong’s long legs into the car without hesitation, shutting the car door and turning away.

If the sauced bones get cold, they won’t taste good!

Behind her, Chi Xingtong closed her eyes and fell into a daze.

Ling Tianyou leaned his whole body against Gu Ningyue, and as they exited, he even kissed her in front of the servers.

Gu Ningyue was speechless, why does he turn into such a rogue when he drinks? Forget it, don’t bother with a drunkard.

Finally, she managed to stuff Ling Tianyou into the passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt. Gu Ningyue turned to Chi Xingtong and asked: "Miss Chi, where’s your home? I’ll take you back first."

Chi Xingtong, with her eyes closed, did not respond for a long time, clearly already in a deep sleep.

It was Ling Tianyou who gave an address, "Villa no. 3, New City Garden."

Gu Ningyue used the GPS to take Chi Xingtong home first, before taking Ling Tianyou away.

On their way out, Chi Xingtong vomited in the back seat.

Gu Ningyue pressed down all the car windows as Ling Tianyou dozed off in the passenger seat.

Once they were back at the villa, Gu Ningyue immediately called for the butler and maids to help Ling Tianyou inside.

"Young Madam, is President Ling alright? Would you like to go in and see?"

Gu Ningyue sat in the living room and opened the box of sauced bones: "No need, just look after him, he’s so drunk he’s out cold, he won’t know who’s who."

What could a man offer compared to the flavor of bones in front of her!

Gu Ningyue feasted while in the bedroom, Ling Tianyou still felt frustrated inside.

Why was Gu Ningyue so indifferent today? Even though Chi Xingtong had already gotten so close to him, didn’t it make her jealous?

"President Ling, drink some water first, I’ve instructed them to prepare sobering soup."

Ling Tianyou accepted the glass of warm water handed to him, took a sip, and felt like something was churning in his stomach: "Where’s the Young Madam?"

Aunt Zhang hesitated, "The Young Madam is downstairs."

Ling Tianyou felt something stir within, so she was mad after all, "What’s she doing?"

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment: "Eating sauced bones."

Ling Tianyou: "..."

So, the clown was actually himself?

The butler watched Ling Tianyou’s expression from the side, quickly understanding: "I’ll go call the Young Madam here."

Ling Tianyou waved his hand, his voice cold: "No need, she’s probably—really starving!"

Downstairs, Gu Ningyue suddenly shivered, why did it suddenly feel so cold?

After finishing the sauced bones, Gu Ningyue called someone to clean up, then went upstairs to change into comfortable clothes and began her daily routine—browsing her phone.

On the X website, many people were speculating about where she had gone, and why she suddenly disappeared again.

Even Li Yue privately messaged her account, asking if she was still around.

As she continued looking, Gu Ningyue suddenly found an interesting post.

"Have any of you ever hacked into a website called the Gate of Hell? Damn, I stumbled upon it by chance, and when I clicked in, it was full of paranormal events. Many of them were even real scene recordings. Before I could browse for five minutes, my account was forcibly removed."

Attached were a few blurry screenshots.

Gu Ningyue, a bit curious, enlarged them and the more she looked, the more eerie she felt. This didn’t seem like a paranormal website at all.

"The Gate of Hell, never heard of it. Could it be a new kind of Trojan virus?"

Someone voiced a doubt, and soon the original poster replied below: "—No, I’m sure it’s not a Trojan virus. I tried to log in again, but couldn’t get through."

"These images don’t seem paranormal! They all look like real people." Gu Ningyue registered a small account and commented below.

Soon, someone agreed: "I also think so. It looks like the person tied to that chair is already dead. Could the stuff on the ground be blood? Such a big puddle."

"These bizarre images are all over the Internet, nothing special about them! I’m outta here."

The original poster replied again: "These aren’t photoshopped, definitely real recordings."

Someone replied: "How do you know? It’s not hard to fabricate these kinds of images."

The two of them continued to exchange words, and in the end, the original poster seemed infuriated, attaching the ’Gate of Hell’ website link at the bottom of the post.

This seems to be a common trait among all the veterans on the X website! Whenever they enter a special website, they unconsciously memorize the URL.

Filled with curiosity, Gu Ningyue couldn’t resist any longer, and after pondering for a while, she opened her computer and input the URL given by the original poster.

Just like the poster said, this URL blocked all outside users.

The poster must have gained access just by chance.

Gu Ningyue’s slender fingers flew across the keyboard, and after an hour, pressing Enter finally changed the error page that previously said ’This webpage cannot be found.’

A black background, gray borders, with water droplets continuously falling, the entire website felt incredibly oppressive.

Gate of Hell—do you wish to enter?

Eight over-the-top characters quietly appeared, making one wonder if it was an online game.

With a click of the mouse, Gu Ningyue successfully entered this website’s homepage.

White background, red font, it seemed quite normal at first glance.

However, the titles one by one caused Gu Ningyue to furrow her brow more tightly than ever before.

"—The woman who betrayed me was finally caught by me, hehe, pay to watch the dismemberment."

"—Horror in the building, custom-made theme horror love story, interested ones just holler."

"—Does anyone want to see my innards, only one chance in a lifetime!"

All these posts were published just a few minutes ago, as Gu Ningyue scrolled further, her scalp began to tingle.

This isn’t a website, this is a gathering place for psychos!
