All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Chapter 188 The Virgin Mary of the End of the World 3

"Who is this? Isn't this that good-for-nothing Gu Yu?" A sarcastic remark, like a sharp arrow, suddenly exploded in the bustling street, instantly breaking the originally calm atmosphere, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of embarrassing ripples.

At that time, Gu Yu was applying shower gel on himself in the simple "bath area".

Hearing that harsh taunt, Gu Yu's movements suddenly paused. In that instant, he seemed to be under a spell, frozen in place. But it was only for a very brief moment, and he feigned composure, continuing his movements as if nothing had happened, as if the words had not even entered his ears and had no effect on him at all.

However, only he himself knew that this seemingly casual sarcasm was like an extremely sharp blade that pierced straight into the depths of his heart, causing his internal organs to ache.

He slowly lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and thought to himself: What that person said actually makes sense.

Indeed, in the two and a half years since the apocalypse, the entire world seemed to have fallen into an endless nightmare. Countless people perished in this sudden catastrophe, and once-thriving cities were reduced to ruins, with the air filled with the scent of death and despair.

And he, Gu Yu, in this cruel doomsday world, without powerful superpowers or exceptional skills, can only survive by constantly trying to please one person after another, humiliating himself and struggling to survive. Every time he bowed his head, every time he flattered others, it was like rubbing salt into the wound of his self-esteem, but in order to survive, he had no other choice.

At that moment, Lin Ruan, who had been standing not far away, suddenly turned her head, her lively gaze meeting that of a group of about ten men and women. She was startled for a moment, then surprised to find that, without exception, these people were looking at them with expressions filled with mockery and disdain, as if they were looking at two pitiful, neglected stray dogs, filled with disdain and contempt.

Lin Ruan's face was suddenly filled with confusion, and a series of question marks appeared in his head. He couldn't help but say to the system in his mind: "No, Seventeen, it's okay for them to look down on Gu Yu, but why are they looking at me like this?"

The system's voice sounded faintly in Lin Ruan's mind: "You really don't know?"

Lin Ruan casually waved his hand, a seemingly gentle movement imbued with a mysterious and powerful force. The group, once standing in neat rows, suddenly lost all their strength, their bodies instantly losing support and collapsing to the ground. Not a sound was uttered, the air around them seemed to freeze, their lives instantly drained away, their deaths unnaturally quiet and silent, as if they had never existed in this world.

Only the red thorns extending from various parts of their bodies announced to the world the cause of their death.

"What pitiful children!" Lin Ruan looked expressionlessly at the bodies scattered on the ground. Her tone was as calm as if she were discussing a trivial matter. She said lightly, "But it doesn't matter. The Lord will teach them what true courtesy is."

Gu Yu, watching this scene, turned pale as paper, his face draining of blood. His body trembled violently and uncontrollably, like sifting through chaff. He struggled to control his emotions, forcing a smile uglier than tears. His lips trembled, and his voice stammered with fear: "M-Mrs. Maria, you...you are so merciful."

Lin Ruan seemed pleased with Gu Yu's reaction. She nodded slightly, her movements elegant and noble, expressing her approval. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something important, she reached into her bosom with her fair fingers, fumbled for a moment, and pulled out a small, delicate porcelain bottle. She tossed it casually, and it arced through the air before landing steadily in front of Gu Yu.

"Oh, by the way, when you first start hair removal, cysts may grow on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. Remember to apply this ointment on them, and they will get better after a while. As you remove hair more often, this situation will naturally become less and less common." Lin Ruan said lightly, as if it was just a very common thing, as casually as reminding others to dress warmly every day.

Gu Yu looked at the porcelain vase lying quietly on the ground before him, and a chill ran down his spine. He couldn't help but wonder how many times this woman had experienced such bizarre and terrifying things to be able to offer such advice so effortlessly and without hesitation. Her composure was truly chilling.

At the same time, the system was secretly criticizing: "She is really experienced..."

At this moment, Gu Yu and the system's thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

When Lin Ruan handed him another set of clean clothes, Gu Yu's heart was in turmoil again. Through all the previous signs, he was more and more certain that this woman who called herself Maria not only had water and ice abilities, but now it seemed that she also had space abilities.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu was filled with helplessness and resentment. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn it, this shitty world, why is the gap between people so big!"

Others have at least three superpowers, but what about me?

not a single one!

It's absolutely bullshit!

In this doomsday world where the strong are respected, I am like an ant at the mercy of others.

"If you want to follow me, you need to offer me things that are insignificant to you, do you know that, poor little lamb?" Lin Ruan's cold voice suddenly sounded, and to Gu Yu, it sounded as eerie and terrifying as the King of Hell demanding his life.

Insignificant? Gu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. Is the crystal core an insignificant existence for zombies?

But facing Lin Ruan, he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.

Haha, Gu Yu smiled coldly in his heart, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably again because of the instinct for survival. His legs became weak and he wanted to kneel down again tremblingly to show his obedience.

"Don't kneel, my child, don't let your knees go down." Lin Ruan's voice came again.

Gu Yu secretly complained in his heart: Are his knees stiff? How could he not know that he had taken a cold shower on his knees and then spread his legs to shave himself?

Along the way, in order to survive, I have long lost my so-called dignity, and my knees have become so weak that I don’t know how to say it.

"Don't get your clothes dirty." Lin Ruan said immediately.

Gu Yu understood instantly, thinking to herself: I understand, this sentence is the purpose. On the surface, he didn't let himself kneel, but in fact he was afraid of dirtying the clothes she gave him.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he suppressed his inner humiliation and resentment. He made the sign of the cross on his chest and rested his forehead on his hands, which were folded like a Christian in prayer. He put on an expression of utmost piety and said in a trembling but steady voice, "Mrs. Maria, I am your most devout believer and your most loyal servant. Everything I have means nothing to you. So please allow me to follow you. I am willing to offer you my dignity, my soul, my life, everything I have."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to calm himself down, but his heart was like a turmoil.

Watching myself go crazy with both madness and calmness.
