Chapter 38: Cared For by a Ghost
Chapter 38: Cared For by a Ghost
As he spoke, Wang Liqi broke down again. The man who was in his fifties, gripped his head with both hands and cried silently. The traces of the years carved on his face, accompanied by the movement of him wiping his tears with his cuffed hands, made him look extremely pitiful.
However, Gu Xizhou didnt pity him. Instead, he thought this man was even more hateful than before.
Gu Xizhou left the interrogation room, and heard continuous crying echoing from the surveillance.
This person is really worthless!
What kind of person is he?! The deceased was seriously unlucky, meeting an asshole like this. Fuck, what kind of family does he belong to, needing a male inheritor?!
Tch, people like this still exist, dont you always see them on television? Sending their daughter away, then their son falls ill, and they search out the daughter to donate her bone marrow its seen everywhere.
This happens a lot, and some even dare to send their child away, then wait until their child is old and grown before they find them again, and expect the child to be filial to them. Sigh these people are seriously outrageous.
They couldnt be blamed for being angry. The truth had been laid out, and this kind of pitiful man, was hated by the masses.
The case had been solved, and they immediately notified the deceaseds family.
After hearing the reason, Niu Dinglan, the wife of the deceased, cried on the spot. The adopted daughter, Wei Xiaoling, felt like she had no right to face her mother, and could only cry into her husbands arms.
After two days, Niu Dinglans family came to the police station again. The old ladys hair was much whiter than what he had seen before.
Thank you, Comrade Police, for helping us find the murderer! Thank you very much! Niu Dinglan was held up by Wei Xiaolings husband, and Wei Xiaolings eyes were red as she stood next to them, evidently having just finished crying.
Its part of our job, Fang Zhi said softly as he supported the old lady.
Were sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so were going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.The old lady thanked them again with tears in her eyes.
Dont punish yourself with others mistakes. Your father wanted you to live your life happily. Dont cry anymore, youve been crying too much recently. It isnt your fault, and youre our good, obedient child.
Wei Xiaoling hugged her tightly at the entrance to the police bureau, and cried out weakly: Mom
Gu Xizhou opened the curtains in his office and saw the mother-daughter pair hugging at the door. After the pair left, a few policemen stood at the door, looking at the door at their leaving figures for a while.
Gu Xizhou sighed. The old lady could still maintain her reason in such a situation, and didnt vent her grievances to her adopted daughter. She was completely different from Wang Liqi.
Then, Gu Xizhous phone rang. He answered, and a pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
Next weekend, call Fang Zhi over to my house, and prepare to enter the next world.
So sudden? Gu Xizhou was puzzled by Si Yus proposal.
En, my time is almost up, Si Yu said faintly.
You? Gu Xizhou asked. Didnt you just experience two worlds with us? You should still have a lot of time!
After experiencing three worlds with you, I Si Yus mouth crooked up slightly. My time was only extended by one hour. I cant do anything about it.
Gu Xizhou froze for a moment, and felt a chill run down his back. Didnt you say that old players liked to bring newcomers to play? Why did your time only extend by one hour? Even though I also accompanied Fang Zhi into the mission world, and the countdown for my life didnt extend by much, it still extended by at least twenty hours, you
Stop asking, Si Yu said. Just come over this weekend, Ill bring you into the world. But Ill warn you first, my world is different from yours. You must act with caution. The world will be full of those strange death conditions that you are afraid of.
Dont be as reckless as before, or you wont live even if you have multiple lives. Prepare yourselves as quickly as you can.
That fierce Gu Xizhou said hurriedly: Then, how about Fang Zhi not go, and Ill just go with you? Im afraid that when the time comes, I might not be able to protect him. Okay?
That will do. My mission world is really not suitable for Fang Zhi.
After they finished discussing, Gu Xizhou hung up and saw Wang Ao rushing over to him during his break.
Wang Ao looked at Gu Xizhou and said: Xizhou, I heard youre raising a dog?
Hearing Wang Aos words, Gu Xizhou wasnt really sure why he asked it, but nodded. Yes, the golden retriever puppy of one of our female colleagues in the bureau.
En Wang Ao glanced at him, and spoke in a calm, unchanging voice: Then, raise it well. Have you bought the automatic feeding machine?
Gu Xizhou: Not yet
Wang Ao patted Gu Xizhous shoulder and said out loud: A dogs life is still a life.
After, Wang Ao left Gu Xizhous office, leaving Gu Xizhou standing there alone.
Gu Xizhou: ?
When it was time to get off work, Gu Xizhou walked out and coincidentally saw his colleagues who were packing up and preparing for the holiday. He waved at Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi, come with me, Gu Xizhou said: I have something to tell you.
Fang Zhi nodded, and sat in Gu Xizhous car. There was no one around them, and Gu Xizhou started to speak.
Tomorrow, Si Yus time is up. He will enter the mission world, and I plan to go with him. After thinking, his mission world is very difficult, and there will be many strange death conditions inside it.
This is also my first time in contact with a harder mission world, so I decided not to take you. Later, when your time is up, we will enter your mission world together.
Fang Zhi heard this, and opened his mouth: Gu Ge, I can
Before he finished, Gu Xizhou waved his hand: I plan on taking a look at what Si Yus self-proclaimed difficult world looks like. Dont worry, with him there, the strange death conditions wouldnt pose too much of an issue. This time, Ill go in and be obedient. In any case, he is experienced.
Ah Fang Zhi hesitated, but he knew that Gu Xizhou had already made his decision, and would never let him join them, so he said: Then Gu Ge, take care of yourself.
Ill wait for you to come back, Fang Zhi said.
Gu Xizhou nodded, then drove him to the door of his house. After, he drove straight home, and told Gu Ji Ji about him entering Si Yus mission world. Then, he took his puppy son out for a walk.
The next day, when the meeting time reached, Gu Xizhou prepared to go to Si Yus luxury villa, and saw a post-it note on the back of the doorCome back early.
Gu Xizhou laughed lightly. He was a demonic cultivator that frightened ghosts the moment they saw him, but even he could experience a day where a ghost would care for him.
