Ch 8 - A crowd of evil spirit lines up to confess to me

Chapter 8

Gu Wu Ji after being tightly wrapped and wearing sunglasses, after guaranteeing that the surrounding people haven’t seen his face boarded the town’s bus.

That’s right, due to financial problems, Gu Wu Ji already became a person who saves money in all aspects, without a doubt a taxi couldn’t be ridden back, riding the town’s bus wasn’t also very bad right?

Gu Wu Ji casually found a place to sit then played with his cellphone, after being somewhat tired, he actually fell asleep while dazedly reading the cellphone’s text.

Then he was woken by the ringing of the cellphone.

Gu Wu Ji looked down, the one giving him a call was actually Xu Ming Jun.

The two only exchanged their numbers out of courtesy when they first met, but never used it, for what purpose was the other calling so suddenly now?

Due to him being groggy, without thinking too much subconsciously placed the call through, but the opposite side was actually very silent, with some kind of rubbing sound that made people feel very uncomfortable.

Gu Wu Ji immediately hanged up the call, could this matter be related to the set today?

Gu Wu Ji was actually too lazy to manage them too much, after all as a victim of a plot, him giving warning words was already very benevolent, do you still want to be a Holy Father running to save people? One could only play five positions in this time.

But looking out again, the place was very dark, without a bit of light, the vehicle was even groaning and shaking, then Gu Wu Ji creepily found that he was actually alone in the entire town’s bus!

The driver driving in front, was even more bizarre and had not moved a bit from the start, just like a dead thing.

Gu Wu Ji got up, pressed the bus’ bell, and without a doubt, the driver didn’t react in anyway. He heaved a sigh, feeling that this time was troublesome.

--It wasn’t too late, if he waits and just sits in this town’s bus the money spent will certainly not be much different when compared to riding a taxi!

So, Gu Wu Ji went forward and patted the driver’s shoulder. The other turned his head, revealing it’s sinister feature to Gu Wu Ji, with fresh blood flowing from the bluish black lips.

An average person that has experienced the previous revelations, will be filled with repressed fear, then seeing the driver’s face will probably scream on the spot, with the physiological barrier completely collapsing he will finally be scared to death……

This is what the driver feels will happen next.　　

But Gu Wu Ji was actually very calm, “It’s embarrassing, but I have to get off. Can you stop for a while?”

The driver’s sinister face became somewhat stunned for a moment, returning to his senses he became so angry that he revealed a very ferocious expression up close to Gu Wu Ji, making sure that Gu Wu Ji would see the big bloody image of livor mortis* on his face.

*the pooling of the blood in the dependent portions of the body after death

Gu Wu Ji looked at the driver with a puzzled look, with a bit of entanglement reached out to pat his shoulder, taking a deep breath said: “Actually, you don’t need to care too much even if you look ugly, you can find your own value as long as you have skills, you’re also the most steady night driver I’ve seen, so cheer up.”

The bus immediately stopped on a dark road.

Gu Wu Ji naturally got off, while the ghost driver behind began to think if his face has already passed it’s prime while being tangled if it was no longer scary enough for young people.

t/n: only MC can make ghosts feel like that.

After getting off the bus, Gu Wu Ji looked around and only found darkness, just like being in a deserted countryside. After thinking about it he finally became aware that he wasn’t in the normal world now and immediately thought of a way to leave.

This kind of things also happened in the past, Gu Wu Ji would only let nature take it’s course without knowing how good fate is, he casually constantly falls asleep and only wakes up when the matter is over.

At this time, the cellphone brightens once again, Gu Wu Ji picking it still saw Xu Ming Jun’s number, Gu Wu Ji sighed putting it through, there was another burst of silence on the phone, only the rubbing sound which made people’s associate it with a sound of some kind of skull being dragged on the ground that made people uncomfortable grew louder.

Then the sound grew more and more closer--

　　

…………

　　

……

Xu Ming Jun was about to be scared to death, after he left Cheng Jia by himself to run away, but was still unable to find a way out, the surrounding woods all looked like ghosts, any normal person will not have the courage to go pass through there.

So much that when he turned his head he could see, some distorted monsters advancing towards him.

Xu Ming Jun was simply overwhelmed by terror, he was originally someone who depended on background to reach the top, an assistant would normally be there to serve and he was also unwilling to engage in physical exercise, so it didn’t take long for him to be out of breath. But at this time, stopping means death, he didn’t dare to stop even when he couldn’t breath.   

Just at this time, Xu Ming Jun saw a figure not to far front, his legs immediately weakened, if he encounters a monster again this time, he……

But his desire to survive/hope made him clearly see the other, and without a doubt saw that the person standing across was actually Gu Wu Ji!

Xu Ming Jun for the first time because of seeing Gu Wu Ji became very excited, he in an almost sniveling state finally came before Gu Wu Ji, without waiting for Gu Wu Ji to speak, he powerlessly fell on his knees to the ground.

If it was before, approaching Gu Wu Ji with this dire appearance, Xu Ming Jun would perhaps have already killed himself, but now, he like seeing a light, couldn’t wait to worship Gu Wu Ji and by any means must never let him leave himself!

Gu Wu Ji was startled, not expecting Xu Ming Ju to suddenly appear but also kneel before him, wasn’t this a bit too intense? 　　

How could Xu Ming Jun still manage, quickly grasping Gu Wu Ji’s thigh while begging: “Gu-dage, save me, those monsters-- ”

Turning his head, only saw that those monsters that had been closely following him completely disappear.

“Fortunately, those were only mindless lonely restless spirits.” Gu Wu Ji leisurely reasoned, “I already made them head back first. But, what are the both of you doing here? And why are you currently alone……”

At this time, in Xu Ming Jun eyes, Gu Wu Ji this extraordinary person’s countenance had a somewhat sly look, plus with the other showing up alone in this haunted place and still possessing an ability to command those frightening evil spirits--

Xu Ming Jun’s body immediately went cold even his teeth chattered, what kind of person did he offend in the end? Gu Wu Ji must certainly not have a simple identity, even more so in this type of place where killing a person in secret won’t take several minutes, even the police won’t be able to find his body!

Gu Wu Ji pondered, these ghosts gathered here were like being attracted by something, causing this place to become a very strange space for Yin and Yang, luckily, these crowd of troublesome ghosts were not much.

He purely because of his physique problems, would normally and constantly encounter this kind of things, it was only by chance that he came here, what did this two normal people do to actually attract this much ghosts?

For Gu Wu Ji’s somewhat doubtful look, Xu Ming Jun spirit has already been frightened.

Quickly thinking, he immediately spoke while trembling with trepidation: “Gu-dage, I haven’t done anything! It must be Cheng Jia doing something wicked that alerted these ghosts……O-of course, I admit that I wasn’t good in the set before, I will definitely repent when I get back and apologize to the media and clarify the truth! I will definitely do whatever you ask me in the future!”

Xu Ming Jun currently wished to be able to kill his previous self, actually offending such a big shot, really lived too long, ah! Without knowing if his loyalty came in time, it is estimated that if Gu Wu Ji wasn’t a person who was concerned about others, wouldn’t Cheng Jia be hanged and completely beaten up?

Gu Wu Ji was completely unaware that he in Xu Ming Jun’s heart has already become a terrible behind-the-scenes person manipulating everything, when he in fact was only an innocent passerby.

“Alright, then tell me, where is Cheng Jia?” Gu Wu Ji asked. Xu Ming Jun seemed completely normal, then the trouble would most likely be from Chen Jia, so they could only start with him if they wanted to leave.

“He, I don’t know either……but must be from the direction I came from.” Xu Ming Jun because of other plans, became very proactive explaining everything without justifying himself.

If not for Gu Wu Ji’s lack of interest, perhaps he might have already offered his account book or something to the other.

“Okay.” Gu Wu Ji nodded, he also remembered something again, “Your cellphone?”

Xu Ming Jun faced paled after touching his trousers , “It must have fallen in the car.”

“So that’s it.” thinking about it now the cellphone must’ve been controlled by some ghost since earlier, otherwise how can he receive several strange calls?

Gu Wu Ji thinking about it, still intended to call to know Cheng Jia’s situation over there, even if the ghost’s spoke, some useful information could still be found.

Xu Ming Jun originally wanted to remind him that there was no signal here, but seeing Gu Wu Ji easily making a call, he actually felt very silly, how could such a big shot be mortals like them?

With the number dialed, Gu Wu Ji only said a word, a very eager voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side.

“S-save me--”

　　

…………

　　

……

Cheng Jia already fell apart, as the car door completely couldn’t be opened, he and a ghost stayed in one place, while the bloody head unceasingly collided from the outside, not knowing when it might break in. Even with the headless body being motionless, but such a strange stillness was the most frightening thing to him.

After he just saying a few words over the cellphone, the cellphone’s screen suddenly became strange, a head’s close-up suddenly emerged from the screen, scaring him so much that he threw the cellphone in his hands.

The next moment, he looked up, from the rear view mirror saw, the originally headless body, actually had a very bloody head, with the head having his own features--

“A a a a a a a a a a a--”　　

During Chng Jia’s blood-curdling screams, the car’s door was suddenly opened, he frantically recoiled, with a deathly pale look.

“Are you alright?”

Appearing in Cheng Jia’s view was Gu Wu Ji's face with a slightly puzzled look.
