Ch 9 - A crowd of evil spirit lines up to confess to me

Chapter 9

Cheng Jia became completely stunned, looking at the person before him in astonishment, almost not daring to believe his eyes.

Gu Wu Ji originally had a stunning appearance, at this time he became bathed in holy light filled with superior air, even the pair of wintry eyes had a hint of heaven’s sympathetic gaze towards mankind.

Two lines of tears fell as a great touched feeling emerged from Cheng Jia’s heart. At this moment, he completely forgot how he previously humiliated Gu Wu Ji, despising the other in every possible means, only feeling that Gu Wu Ji was like a deity, actually appearing in such a precise moment, disregarding the former hatred to save his life……

How could he have regard such a figure as a third-rate little celebrity with poor quality in the past? Clearly this was a very skilled big shot casually playing in the entertainment circle!

“Are you alright?” Gu Wu Ji wondered if Cheng Jia was frightened silly, as there wasn’t a bit of response.

When he was rushing here, Xu Ming Jun suddenly said that he felt unwell, Gu Wu Ji then went ahead alone, hearing a frightened shout coming from the car’s interior made him careless directly opening the car’s door.

Otherwise, he intended to observe the situation before deciding what to do. Anyway, Cheng Jia has stayed for that long without dying, and it was estimated that this ghost had strict prerequisites to be able to kill a person, it wouldn’t be a problem to let him be tossed for a while.

“Great master Gu! I didn’t think you’d really come!” Cheng Jia’s eyes were overflowing with deep gratitude, the voice having an irrepressible emotional feeling.

Remembering his previous persistent pursuance of that guy Xu Ming Jun, and for the other, humiliated Gu Wu Ji in every possible way, making Cheng Jia want to slap himself very much, he was simply asking for death, if it was someone else and not the open-minded great master Gu perhaps he would have already died a hundred times.

Gu Wu Ji: “??” Was Cheng Jia originally a very emotional person? Moreover what did he just call Gu Wu Ji?

“Don’t say anything else, get out first.”

“Okay!” Cheng Jia’s mood slightly stabilized, gratefully watching Gu Wu Ji and tried getting off. The body in front suddenly moved, scaring Cheng Jia stiff, then with the fastest speed jumped off the car hiding behind Gu Wu Ji like a rabbit.

Gu Wu Ji also looked over, his eyes fixed on the headless body, saying: “This driver seems a bit off.”

Cheng Jia behind him simply cried, it’s more than a bit off, ah! This tm is simply a ghost ah, a normal person’s head can’t come off!

*originally in english

“Is it because of the missing head?” Gu Wu Ji thought a bit asking a question that ordinary people could see at a glance.

Nevertheless, Cheng Jia still looked at Gu Wu Ji filled with reverence, in his opinion Gu Wu Ji must have a solid plan and knew how to deal with this ghost, even if he was talking nonsense, then it certainly must be a profound superfluous words.

In reality, Gu Wu Ji also didn’t know what to do, he just has a bit more experience plus a strangely pure way of thinking……

So he looked around, at the side found the head on the ground. Gu Wu Ji calmly walked over, picking it up under Cheng Jia’s horrified eyes, then directly positioned the half rotten face up.

The bloodshot eyes protruded, strangely watching Gu Wu Ji, as the dark hair smeared by blood grew more and more faintly entangling Gu Wu Ji’s arm

“Great master Gu, h-head……” Cheng Jia’s trembling voice clearly expressed his fear, the weak knees uncontrollably trembles hardly maintaining his standing position, but seeing Gu Wu Ji’s constant calm expression, immediately dispelled his fear.

Even the previously frightening head, was just like a toy that could not jump out of the palm of Gu Wu Ji’s hands.　　

There shouldn’t be a problem since great master Gu was very tranquil and calm! He couldn’t help but rely on Gu Wu Ji some more, and then more, but fearing of provoking the great master, struggled to maintain a faintly indiscernible distance, fingertips lightly touching Gu Wu Ji’s clothes……was just like being able to obtain a protective power.

Gu Wu Ji proceeded to the vehicles front door, opening the car’s door, then……directly fixing the head on the headless body, the action was exceptionally natural and skilled, just like putting a lid on a kettle.

Cheng Ji looked from afar, the eyes’ admiration greatly increased, really worthy of being the great master Gu!

“Alright, do you still need help with anything else?” Gu Wu Ji as if doing a very good deed, used a sympathetic look to the disabled person, looked at the ghost driver gently, encouragingly said: “Don’t worry, it’s alright to just straightforwardly say what you need, I won’t despise you because of such a thing. ”

After all with the head easily falling like this, saying that the other is handicapped……is there any problem with a disabled ghost? Gu Wu Ji felt very reasonable wanting to help the driver before him more.

The ghost driver froze upon seeing the sympathetic look of Gu Wu Ji and soon like being provoked, the eyes became more bloodshot becoming scarlet, as filthy blood came out from the 5 orifice.

“Ah, it seems that driver-dashu* should rest a bit more, you became like this after wearily driving so late at night.” Gu Wu ji said patting the ghost driver’s shoulder, with a very sincere concern: “Even if making money is very important, but the body is also very important, □□** said that, the body is a revolutionary capital.”

*uncle: driver uncle and uncle driver doesn’t sound nice…

**it was really left like that

Thinking that being a ghost driver isn’t easy, thinking that he did a very good deed tonight, comforting so many ghosts, this driver dashu, he must be in the early 60’s with the way he dressed, remembering □□ list of sayings, he gave his own motivation talk.

The steering wheel being gripped by the ghost driver almost burst open.

A breaking sound from the side sounded, Gu Wu Ji turned and saw that the rear view mirror had an indistinct crack, the mirror reflected a headless figure of him, the neck was smoothly severed, showing the ghastly neck bone with flowing blood.

Looking again, the ghost driver’s upper portion in the mirror was his head! The familiar face showed a strange smile, but it looked like a charming ghost having a seductive spirit.

Gu Wu Ji suddenly became stiff, and seemed to be finally scared.

The ghost seeing this scene, suddenly revealed a sinister and unbridled smile, the scarlet tongue menacingly licked the sharp snow white teeth.

However, Cheng Jia who stood behind couldn’t hear their conversation and without knowing why, actually saw a great hostility emerge from the evil spirit’s face……this must be his misperception!

“Wu, it seems that I can try this type of role in the future, more than acting like a reckless college student in an adventure film.” Gu Wu Ji muttered to himself, after speaking couldn’t help but firmly look at ghost’s face a few more times, nodding with more satisfaction.

Ghost: “???”

This mirror isn’t for you to reflect on your future career development path alright! What’s the matter with this person!

“Alright, if there’s nothing more to say, we’ll leave first.” Gu Wu Ji pleasantly said towards the driver, “Goodbye, see you next time!”

After waving his hand he took Cheng Jia and quickly turned to leave, without the ghost’s blocking, the fog ahead dispersed.

With the voice falling, the ghost driver unwillingly looked at their side, but also knew that this person wasn’t trivial and cannot be easily taken…… There was simply no sense of fear, he was simply powerless to seize this guy! Instead the grievance of his car accident actually greatly dissipated, even restoring a few living memory, if the child he left grew well, then he would also be like this young man’s age.

In the end, how long ago was his last conversation with people……the ghost driver shook his head, the chilly heart momentarily softened a bit, as he slowly drove into the dense fog, without anyone noticing, the black gas that was lingering on his body became lighter and lighter.

　　

……

“Now that the matters are resolved, your cellphone’s signal should be restored, you can call someone to pick you up if you can’t find the way.” Gu Wu Ji who had done good deeds was in a very good mood, as the moonlight slightly shone behind him, the expression was also filled with kindness when looking at Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia suddenly felt very flattered, even if he didn’t understand what Gu Wu Ji did, but it must have been done very well, as it clearly made the evil spirit retreat!

Maybe it’s the small words force! Without moving his hands, it already made the small darkness quickly run away.

------

After coming out the yin and yang space, Cheng Jia was weakened because of excessive fright, and was directly sent to the hospital after being found by the people of Cheng family, Cheng Jia promised that he will personally express his gratitude after leaving the hospital.

This matter didn’t greatly affect the world much, first was because the Cheng family partly blocked some information, but the most important reason was that a greater news was released the following day.

Xu Ming Jun actually sent an apology video in his microblog, he feared that just sending an apology letter will let others to believe that his account had been stolen and saying something strange will lead to Gu Wu Ji’s dissatisfaction, as a result a very sincere video was made.

The video’s content vividly expressed Xu Ming Jun’s strong sense of survival. Before, he begrudged Gu Wu Ji for taking the role he wanted, so deliberately conflicted with the other party, fabricating some rumors and news that were harmful to the other.

The contents were so detailed that his fans didn’t know how to clear it, in a moment, countless powders were washed.

*powders: fans

At the video’s end, Xu Ming Jun tearfully promised that he will turn over a new leaf becoming a good person. Only some diehard fans believed that their idol were certainly forced, perhaps by Gu Wu Ji to wash himself white using some despicable methods to threaten Xu Ming Jun, they will never believe without detailed evidences.

Even Gu Wu Ji seeing it was somewhat confused, although, Xu Ming Jun previously promised to clarify this matter after getting back, but this clarification was too intense, moreover, perhaps Xu Ming Jun saying these bad things will be ruined, the face’s expression was also filled with some flattery.

Was he so terrible in his eyes?

For a moment, the entire microblog was shocked, especially the cast’s crew members, they almost broke their heads for not knowing why Xu Ming Jun will do such a self-destructing thing, was he insane? Even if it was his own willingness, xiao Cheng zong wouldn’t allow such things to happen.

Unexpectedly, there were staff members who wouldn’t believe without seeing it, but soon, the set’s monitoring recorded scenes broke the media, completely confirming the authenticity of Xu Ming Jun’s words.

The original diehard fans that fiercely stood for him became completely speechless. Others felt that everything was normal, guessing that Xu Ming Jun might have known in an earlier time that someone would expose him and rushed to apologize to save a bit of image, even if he currently has no chance to rise, but with his good relationship with xiao Cheng zong……

But they soon noticed, that the previous water army bought to blacken Gu Wu Ji actually disappeared, the hot searches were also removed and replaced with some information of Gu Wu Ji’s actual performances on the set.

Countless black materials emerged at Xu Ming Jun’s side, such as tripping juniors in various ways, throwing fans gifts and suspicions of being kept in the past, making the person’s image completely collapse.

People only need brains to know that the winds have already changed, the crew members immediately came out to confirm that everything was completely true.

Gu Wu Ji’s evaluation on internet immediately changed, from the previous arrogant newcomer into an extremely good person who respects the old and cherishes the young, and a person who does not know how to argue when wronged and aggrieved.

If it was an average person marketing as a white lotus, perhaps they would soon be overturned, but Gu Wu Ji was originally this type of person (except for grievances), even people couldn’t find any grass person* type of evidences, thinking that only Gu Wu Ji is a clear stream in the entertainments circle’s constant intrigues against each other.

*草人: talks about something bad that another person has done

With Gu Wu Ji’s good face value, other than some old powders returning he also obtained new powders, one by one prostrating to their male god’s face worth.

Those people who previously believed that he would be leaving the entertainment circle became stupefied.

　　

……

The things in the internet had no influence in Gu Wu Ji’s daily life.

But because of Cheng Jia’s orders, the crew restored the scenes of Gu Wu Ji’s character, the film took another 10 days and half a month to complete, the pay actually became ten times that of the initial signing. Cheng Jia even paid with his own money to let Gu Wu Ji receive 30% of the box office’s percentage.

The entire film’s publicity focus, also revolved around Gu Wu Ji in full swing.

As for Xu Ming Jun, because of various black materials emerging, plus the previous matter of offending Cheng Jia, how can he be bold enough to continually stay here? The bags had already been packed and had long ran away.

Just like in the past, when Gu Wu Ji was about to once again exhibit his great culinary skills, he was once again drawn into the a world of a new copy.
