Survival Mode
Strangers Meet
Unknown Voice
*whispers* You stay here.
Lian Li lies on the ground, beneath a tree
Lian Li
*opens eyes* What- Where am I?
The sun has just rose in the sky
Lian Li
How did I get here??
Lian Li
Ughh.. I don’t remember anything.
Lian Li
*stands up and looks around*
Lian Li has no idea what to do
Suddenly, there are loud footsteps from behind her and she quickly turns around
Lian Li
Hey, what’s going on, why are you-
Jing Guo
No time to explain. Come with me, now.
He grabs her hand and forces her to run
They keep running until they pass by a small, hidden cave and pulls her inside
Jing Guo
*whispers* You better shut your mouth.
A second after he says that, a pack of growling, black wolves dash past followed by a flash of white light that hurt Lian Li’s eyes
Jing Guo
Okay, we are safe for now.
Jing Guo
Head inside. *gestures to the black curtain that Lian Li didn’t notice before*
Lian Li
*silently pushes the curtain aside*
Jing Guo
*casually walks in*
Lian Li
Um, can I get a proper explanation now?
Jing Guo
Can’t say much to you but basically, you will stay with me until we escape this forest.
Jing Guo
It’s not safe out there.
Lian Li
Thanks for saving me then but what is this place??
Lian Li
So are you like a sorcerer?
Jing Guo
You read too many fictional books..
Lian Li
Then explain the magical looking items all over your room.
Lian Li
*mumbles* Some sort of decoration you have.
Jing Guo
Just listen: you can’t leave this place without my permission.
Lian Li
Since when did you own me?
Jing Guo
I’m only trying to keep you safe.
Lian Li
We don’t even know each other.
Jing Guo
Stop asking so many questions! *annoyed*
Jing Guo
Forget it, just sit down on the bed over there.
Jing Guo
Do you want food or not?
Lian Li
Yes please but if it’s too much trouble, don’t worry about it.
Jing Guo
It’s just a small matter.
Jing Guo
Wait here and don’t touch anything.
He disappears into a second room for a few minutes
Lian Li
This place is so weird.
Lian Li
I wonder why I’m even here.
He comes out with a tray of food that didn’t look like it came from the forest.
Lian Li
Where did you get all this from??
Lian Li
Can you explain to me why I’m here while I eat?
Lian Li starts eating but keeps her eye on him
Jing Guo
You’ve been kidnapped and brought here. This isn’t a normal forest.. it is much more dangerous.
Jing Guo
I have also been kidnapped and brought here but that was almost a year ago.
Jing Guo
That’s why I have built a cavern here.
Jing Guo
I found out that you were brought here last night and had to find you before any harm was done.
Jing Guo
We have to work together to get out of here because neither of us can do it alone.
Lian Li
Why was I kidnapped? I didn’t do anything.
Jing Guo
You will find out soon enough.
Lian Li
How do I know I can trust you?
Jing Guo
Why else would I have saved you? I could have left you there to be eaten alive.
Lian Li
Well, thanks for not doing that.
Jing Guo
Now stop talking and finish your food.
Settling In
Lian Li finishes her food and puts the tray of dirty dishes into the sink
Lian Li
We haven’t introduced ourselves yet.
Lian Li
How can I stay with someone or trust someone who I don’t know the name of?
Lian Li
Nice to meet you, Jing Guo.
Jing Guo
Okay well, now that I know your name, it makes it easier for me to ask you to do things.
Jing Guo
You finished your food already right?
Jing Guo
Okay, Liang Yi, go and wash the dishes.
Jing Guo
Whatever.. Lian Li.
Jing Guo
You better clean the dishes well.
Lian Li
I’m a guest though, why do I have to do chores...
Jing Guo
Hey, who do you think I am? Your babysitter? This is like a hotel, you stay here you pay.
Lian Li
Not like I had a choice whether I wanted to stay here or not.
Jing Guo
Watch your tongue or I’ll throw you outside.
Lian Li
Fine. Aren’t you some sort of babysitter to me anyways??
Lian Li
You’re taking care of me aren’t you?
Jing Guo
But if you want to stay here, you have to work for it.
Jing Guo
Unless you have money to pay..
Lian Li
No, I don’t. I was kidnapped remember??
Jing Guo
Then go wash the dishes.
Lian Li
Yeah yeah okay, I’m going!
Lian Li walks over to the sink and starts washing the dishes.
Jing Guo
*thinks: It’s so tiring talking to this girl. She’s like a tennis racquet.. keeps on shooting me back her own words with each sentence I say to her.*
He's Coming For You
Chen Yang
IDIOTS! HOW COULD YOU LOSE HIM??
The werewolves shape-shift back into humans
Xia Lin
But there were two people actually..
Han Wu
He was running with someone else.
Chen Yang
I’ve been after him for months now and finally, someone new joins the game.
Chen Yang
She will slow him down, making it easier for me..
Chen Yang
He probably used an invisible shield to hide wherever he is, we will try again tonight when the spell wears off.
Jing Guo
Do you want to sweep the floor too?
Lian Li
*disbelief* Do I have to?
Jing Guo
If you want. You look like you enjoyed washing the dishes. *smirks*
Lian Li
No, I want to read a book now.
Jing Guo
You see that door over there?
Jing Guo
The books are in there.
Jing Guo
Only take the books from the left shelf please.
Lian Li
Okay! *goes inside*
Lian Li
He likes to read for sure..
Lian Li brushes the covers of the books with her fingers and reads the titles
Lian Li
These have such interesting names.
Lian Li comes out with a pile of books in her arms, almost stumbling as she walks
Jing Guo
Woah! *helps her carry some books* You’re going to fall or drop the books any second now..
Jing Guo
*puts the books on the table in front of the sofa*
Jing Guo
*notices a certain book in the pile*
Jing Guo
*serious* Sorry. This book has to go back inside. And next time you go in, let me follow you.
Lian Li waits for Jing Guo to come back out the room
Lian Li
*picks up the book from the top of the pile*
Lian Li
*says the title of the book*: Guardians of Heaven & Hell..
Jing Guo comes back out and sits opposite her, eyeing her
Lian Li
Hey, you still say you’re not involved in magical stuff?
Lian Li
What are these then? *lifts up the book she’s holding and points at the other books which relate similarly*
Jing Guo
I like to read about them. I’m not involved in anything.
Jing Guo
I let you read my books, if you don’t want to, you can sit here and do nothing or do more chores.
Lian Li
Jeez! Don’t be so touchy.. *flips open the book*
Lian Li
This book is filled with paintings of people..
Lian Li
She’s so pretty! *points at a white haired girl with fair skin and a black star and moon marked on her neck*
Jing Guo
*thinks: that’s because that girl is Alixa Xia Yi... the guardian of Heaven’s 7th realm’s gates.*
Lian Li
He looks fierce and scary but sort of cute.. *points at a guy with white-grey hair and reddish horns*
Jing Guo
*thinks: that’s Chen Yang; my enemy.. he has been after me for so long, the son of San Qi Sun (the devil himself).. he is to start his reign in Hell soon.*
Jing Guo
You think he’s cute??
Jing Guo
Hah, we’ll see about that.
Lian Li
What do you mean by that?
