Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

two monsters…

No, it wasn’t that these two monsters weren’t powerful, but that they could only kill people when they were afraid.
If someone wasn’t afraid, they couldn’t kill them.
Gu Xizhou was never afraid of these playthings, so their rules for killing were useless against him. 

Si Yu said lightly, “Do you still remember the little card you picked up?”

Gu Xizhou, “En, what about it?”

Si Yu whispered, “Just now I found many different women’s clothes, shoes, and bags of all different sizes in the room, not belonging to the same woman.
I also found many small cards in the room.”

Gu Xizhou bowed his head to look at the photograph in his hand.
In his head he had already made a rough outline of what had happened between the female ghost and the two monsters.
The female ghost should have been a sex worker.
These two men used the phone to make appointments with prostitutes so that they could bring them home and murder them. 

“Then we can leave the female ghost to kill those two monsters, ba?” Gu Xizhou asked thoughtfully.

Si Yu lowered his gaze, “I don’t know, let’s wait and see.”

After Si Yu finished speaking, the screams in the room finally stopped and the female ghost opened the door covered in blood.

The room was filled with broken limbs.
The two monsters were torn into eight pieces, their faces peeled off and stuck to the female ghost’s face.
Holding a camera in its hand, it walked over to Si Yu and asked him quietly, “Can you take a picture of me?” 

Si Yu reached out and took the camera from the female ghost’s hand.
With a click, he took a picture for the female ghost.

The female ghost admired the photograph for a while, her eyes revealing a faint smile.

Gu Xizhou waited for the female ghost’s body to crumble, but it didn’t dissipate like he imagined it would.
The female ghost pinched the faces stuck to hers and threw them on the ground carelessly, sticking out its tongue to lick the blood from the corner of its mouth.
It sized up Gu Xizhou and Si Yu, snapping its fingers lightly, saying, “Since you’re the one who untied me, I will allow you to enter the last gambling game.
I wish you luck.”

“What game?” Gu Xizhou asked, raising his eyebrows. 

The corners of the female ghost’s bright red mouth curled upwards as it said lightly, “Life or death.”

With those words, the female ghost retreated into the darkness, vanishing without a trace.

Gu Xizhou’s brows pinched slightly.
When the female ghost came up next to him just now, he clearly heard the sound of chains, but this female ghost didn’t disappear, and the door didn’t appear from its body!

That proved that what the female ghost wanted the most wasn’t to kill those two monsters, but something else, which should be the gambling game it was talking about. 

At the moment, the faceless monster in the room clearly didn’t have a head, but its body was still moving, blood dripping onto the ground from its broken neck, spreading across the floor.

The two monsters opened their eyes at the same time, and one of the monsters dipped its hand in blood, writing on the ground.

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu exchanged a look before entering the room together.
After the hand finished writing, all signs of life abruptly stopped.
On the ground were three characters—Everyone must die.

Gu Xizhou looked at the two faceless monsters kicking them in the head as he cursed them out, “You’re dead and you’re still trying to scare people?” 

After the two returned, Gu Xizhou sat down on the sofa and said to Si Yu, “What do you think this gambling game is that it was talking about? Life or death?”

Si Yu said lightly, “We’ll know when the time comes.”

Gu Xizhou thought for a moment.
That’s right, we’ll discuss it again tomorrow morning.

The next day, Gu Xizhou got up early.
He’d just eaten the breakfast made by Si Yu and was staring out the window of the bedroom at the neighborhood, bored half to death, when he suddenly caught sight of a figure! 

“Someone’s here!” Gu Xizhou turned to look at Si Yu.
No sooner had Gu Xizhou finished speaking when the two people went straight downstairs.

As soon as Gu Xizhou came down the stairs he saw the man take two steps back, apparently frightened.
Seeing the man’s reaction, Gu Xizhou realized that he wasn’t a NPC, he was a mission taker!

An hour later all the mission takers had assembled in the center of the neighborhood.

“Strange, why can we suddenly see each other? I wasn’t able to see you before.
Have any of you done anything?” 

“It’s not us.
We saw two monsters that night and were too afraid to go out at all!”

“So were we!”

“The three of us actually went out, but after seeing those two monsters we didn’t dare follow them up.”

“Hai Ge, Wang Ge, and I went upstairs.
After we went we saw a room covered in blood and those two monsters were already dead, but there was no door.” 

Gu Xizhou glanced at the yellow haired guy who was the last one to speak and thought that he was braver than expected.
He also went upstairs, yet they didn’t meet.

The yellow haired man was obviously an amiable person, and after introducing himself to everyone else he walked over to Gu Xizhou and Si Yu and said in a low voice, “Hello, I’m Wu You.”

Gu Xizhou reached out and shook Wu You’s hand gently, saying lightly, “Gu Ran.”

Si Yu: Si Yaoxing 

Wu You was stunned and asked, “Just now I asked everyone else if they wrote those notes.
Were you the ones who wrote the notes?”

Gu Xizhou nodded slightly and explained simply that the female ghost had killed the two monsters, “At the time we didn’t notice, we just treated her like a normal person.
We didn’t think she wasn’t human so we saved her.
After that she started hitting…”

Si Yu heard Gu Xizhou’s words and kind of wanted to laugh.
Gu Xizhou said that those two monsters were really scary.
Did he really think he’d completely forgotten what happened last night?

When Gu Xizhou told them about the female ghost’s gambling game, everyone started to panic. 

They only had one question in their hearts: What gambling game?

“In the supernatural world, every choice we make is a game of life or death,” Si Yu said  carelessly, shooting a glance at the panicking crowd, “Win and live, lose and die, that’s all.”
