Chapter 504: Incomparable (11)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sea water in the blue hole started to boil, and the violet electric arcs crackled on the water. The electricity flowed on the ocean like a madly dancing golden snake, or a sky streaked with lightning before a powerful storm. However, the positions of land and sea were reversed. The blue hole looked like the sky, while the sky looked like the ground.

Gu Yanran exhaled sharply, covering her mouth as her eyes widened at the scene before her. She murmured, “That day... That day seven years ago, it looked just like this...” She remembered the situation that day was nearly the same as right now–the sky was dark, the water blue, and the positions of the sky and land seemed to reverse. It was also on that day that she suddenly received the unfortunate news that the flight MH210 her parents boarded had gone missing mid-flight. Countries all over the world began joining in the massive search efforts. She rushed out of her house to prepare for her parents’ funeral arrangements. The younger Gu Nianzhi had insisted on sailing on the sea that day. Their family servants couldn’t stop her and could only accompany her, but that yacht never returned after setting sail... Gu Yanran closed her eyes, unwilling to continue the memory.

Lying behind the reef, Gu Nianzhi grew even more anxious at the sight of the blue hole. What did she have to do in order to rescue Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze? The people in the boats had no way of approaching those waters. Earlier, she had seen Huo Shaoheng float up in the water intermittently, but so much had happened, and he hadn’t reappeared. Could something have happened to him? Gu Nianzhi was terrified at the thought. Her heart hammered wildly like a great hand was squeezing it so hard that all the blood in her body was going to burst and then start seeping out through her throat and eyes.

Gu Nianzhi could only taste the sweet and metallic tang of blood in her throat. Pressing her lips together hard, she forbade herself from revealing any weakness. This was not the time to falter. There were still people she must rescue from that underwater hell. Gu Nianzhi stealthily moved down from the reef and prepared to dive down to sea level. When she arrived, she could already see the blue hole not far away and had no need to be scared about getting lost. It was at this time that a horn shriller than one on a car sounded from the ocean’s surface. It blared continuously and was getting closer to her.

Gu Nianzhi jumped in fright and was about to roll down the reef when a voice was heard behind her. “Hmm? There’s actually someone here?”

Gu Nianzhi was instantly terrified at being discovered. The situation was dire, and she had no idea if the person was friend or foe, so she thought the only safe solution was to instantly dive underwater. She didn’t expect the other person to be much more nimble in the water than she was. Gu Nianzhi had learned to swim in a pool, while it was apparent the other person had grown up by the sea and had trained against waves. Soon after, they picked Gu Nianzhi up by the arm and threw her in the corner of the tiny life boat.

A middle-aged woman wearing black-framed glasses and thick bangs covering her entire forehead turned around on the lifeboat, then ripped off Gu Nianzhi’s snorkel and diving mask. “Ha! So it is you!” The middle-aged woman began laughing maniacally. “Oh, Gu Nianzhi! You’re finally getting what’s coming to you!” It was the woman from the navy blue yacht!

Gu Nianzhi was extremely nervous, yet kept her expression calm and aloof as she replied coldly, “Who are you? Do I know you?”

“You don’t need to know me. It’s good enough for me to know you.” The middle-aged woman smiled viciously and maniacally like she was finally exacting her sweet revenge, then she slapped Gu Nianzhi soundly across the face.

Gu Nianzhi never took anything sitting down, so she didn’t hesitate to hit her back and reply crisply, “Can’t you speak civilly? Why do you hit people for no reason!?”

The middle-aged woman was shocked by Gu Nianzhi’s slap and finally came to her senses after a while. Glaring at her, the woman’s eyes were almost on fire. “You hit me?! You dared to hit me!” She then screamed at her two underlings, “What the hell are you two doing?! Why aren’t you tying her up!?”

Gu Nianzhi knew things were bad. How could she save Huo Shaoheng if she was tied up? She made the sudden decision to pull out the gun from her diving suit and shot right at the woman! But she was too nervous, and her hands shook, so the shot missed. However, the shot was enough to shock the woman. She never expected Gu Nianzhi to actually have a gun in her diving suit, so she paused with fright then immediately pulled an underling over to cover the front of her body. Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and immediately fired a second time, killing the middle-aged woman’s underling with one shot!

The middle-aged woman’s other underling instantly took out his gun and aimed at Gu Nianzhi. Gu Nianzhi was already prepared, so she rolled to the ground as the second shot was fired and crashed right into the middle-aged woman’s leg, knocking her over. Gu Nianzhi began wrestling with her. The underling now had no choice but to proceed more carefully and not shoot again. He looked on from the side, afraid to hurt his mistress by accident.

Gu Nianzhi had no such qualms, so she continued wrestling with the middle-aged woman and found that she was much weaker. Gu Nianzhi could twist the woman’s hands backwards with one hand and also get on her side to kneel on one leg. With one hand holding the gun, she aimed at the man who was too afraid to shoot and fired several times at him! Gu Nianzhi killed the middle-aged woman’s second underling. With one kick of her foot to each body, Gu Nianzhi flung both bodies into the sea and turned back to glare at the middle-aged woman, her eyes full of lethality!

“You actually killed people!” The middle-aged woman’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. “...You actually killed people! You knowingly broke the law!”

Gu Nianzhi was much bolder with a gun in her hand. She was secretly elated that she had randomly grabbed one of Huo Shaoheng and his men’s prepared diving suits. It was different from normal ones and had numerous weapons and ropes hidden in it so it could save lives or beat down enemies in a pinch. These were all specially prepared military supplies for the Special Operations Forces.

Gu Nianzhi gradually stood up, her arm holding the gun aimed straight at the middle-aged woman. “I killed out of self-defense. Do you have a problem with that? ...Unlike you people, who want to murder us!”

The middle-aged woman’s eyes sparkled as she snickered slyly. “We want to murder you? Are you guys dead? Not one of you died, so I’m afraid you want to murder us! But Gu Nianzhi, this may all be a misunderstanding... You don’t have to be like this... We can speak calmly...”

Gu Nianzhi hated this woman for putting Huo Shaoheng in danger, so she had no interest in listening to her. It was obvious that the woman couldn’t defeat her, and she had lost two of her underlings, so she was now trying to talk her way out of it. Speaking with such a cowardly person was a waste of her time. Walking closer, Gu Nianzhi aimed at the woman’s head without hesitation. “I don’t care what misunderstanding we had, but since you wanted to kill me earlier, I have no reason to let you off now!” She pushed on the gun’s safety to disable it.

“Don’t you want to know about your memories from before you were 12 years old?! You’ll never know the answers if you kill me! Don’t you want to know who your parents are?!” The middle-aged woman had cold sweat streaming down her back. She didn’t think that Gu Nianzhi would be so decisive and unforgiving. Not only had she killed two people, she planned to murder her as well!

Gu Nianzhi hesitated. How did this Japanese woman know about her situation? However, she quickly composed herself and forcefully pressed the gun so hard that she almost bore a hole into her temple. She spat out coldly, “It’s not like I’ll die if I don’t know my memories before I turned 12. Why should I screw around with you?! And you don’t need to worry about my parents.”

“...Gu Nianzhi, I really overestimated you. So you’re so rash, barbaric, and uncouth. How sad would your parents be if they found out!?” The middle-aged woman was finally getting desperate. “You went through all that to catch me, aren’t you at least curious why I kept coming after you?”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart thumped, and she slowly lowered her hand. “You kept coming after me? When was this? Why didn’t I know?”

The middle-aged woman was livid from hearing Gu Nianzhi’s words. How could this little girl be so infuriating!? She had painstakingly made all the plans and arrangements, and was so close to eliminating her—but somehow she kept escaping several times. Even this time, it could be considered a three to one score. Maybe this was her chance to turn the tables around... Or could she not be Gu Nianzhi’s opponent? The middle-aged woman stared at Gu Nianzhi with a strange look. “You really don’t know? You don’t remember that you went to your classmate’s birthday banquet one day last year, then got afflicted by an aphrodisiac?”

Gu Nianzhi’s mind was blown. How did this middle-aged woman know about that?! “Who are you, exactly?” Gu Nianzhi’s voice finally lowered, her suspicion apparent.

The middle-aged woman rejoiced. She knew Gu Nianzhi was falling for it. She snickered. “Do you really want to know who I am?”

As they spoke, a loud horn began to sound again. Gu Nianzhi came to her senses and knew she couldn’t delay anymore. Huo Shaoheng was still waiting for her to rescue him. Even a minute’s delay could increase the danger. Thus, she wasn’t curious at all and said coolly, “Why do I care who you are? You can say it if you want!” She then pushed on the safety again to prepare to shoot.

The middle-aged woman’s expression also changed when she heard the horn. Her tone shifted into a conniving one. “It’s fine if you don’t want to know, since any woman inflicted by H3ab7 will have a terrible end! Gu Nianzhi, was it pleasurable having sex with seven men?!”
