C162 — [6.28 — Strange Tales of Fengjia Town]

When he met Jiu Shu’s gaze, the fierce ghost couldn’t help taking a step back.

 

This was a far cry from his usual arrogant and malicious appearance in front of humans, and his internal panic was clearly visible.

 

The densely packed flesh and blood scattered throughout the entire town also became restless and uneasy. The flesh and blood limbs swayed, no longer capturing approaching humans; instead, it started to tear itself apart, as if trapped in an uncontrollable dilemma.

 

The surviving townspeople in the town could only scream in terror as they watched the deformed limbs that almost grew into human form crawling out of the flesh and blood.

 

Only the flesh and blood inside the church was suppressed from activity by the black fog, making it seem extraordinarily quiet.

 

The fierce ghost avoided Jiu Shu’s gaze and focused on Jiu Shu’s shoulder, not daring to meet his eyes at all, afraid that he would see the emotions that he didn’t want to see in those beautiful eyes.

 

Boredom, abhorrence, hatred—every possibility was difficult for the ghost to accept.

 

He couldn’t even describe his feelings at this time; he only knew that his brain was blank, even his ability to speak was almost lost, and his throat was so dry that he could only squeeze out some incomprehensible words.

 

“I … I’m not … Didn’t mean …”

 

The ghost subconsciously wanted to explain.

 

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jiu Shu enter the room, and without even glancing at him, he walked straight towards Gu Yin.

 

In fact, even if the priest continued to listen, he also didn’t know how to explain; his confused thoughts directly caused him to lose his ability to think.

 

How could he explain?

 

Explain that his words were all lies? They were all just angry remarks.

 

As for who the priest loved, he didn’t just care; he cared to death.

 

But …… he shouldn’t care so much.

 

If he confessed that he cared, wasn’t he saying that he cared a lot about the priest, or that he loved the priest very much.

 

Love?

 

How could He really love a human?

 

The ghost’s pupils constricted and dilated; he was trying to restrain his emotions, but he simply couldn’t continue to suppress those buried in his truest thoughts.

 

An obvious answer had already surfaced, but he didn’t dare to continue thinking about it for fear that it would break him even more.

 

In the end, He could only face Jiu Shu’s indifference; a dense pain spread over His heart, more bitter than the pain He felt during the split.

 

He saw the priest hugging the already crippled Jiu Shu despite the muddy blood on the ground.

 

This other self had all of his limbs split by sharp incisions at this point, revealing white bones.

 

The tight muscles on the bones also fell off in pieces, mixed with thick blood that soaked the floor. Even his head was about to fall off, and blood splattered from the incision in his throat.

 

The priest couldn’t help but tighten his hold on him as he looked at Gu Yin’s miserable state; he called out Gu Yin’s name in a low voice.

 

The priest’s downturned face looked good even in the dimly lit room, with soft and fluffy black hair and snow-white skin complementing his delicate eyebrows and eyes. However, at this moment, his brows were furrowed, making one want to smooth out the line between his eyebrows.

 

The ghost’s fingers moved, reaching out to touch the priest, but all he saw was the icy look that Jiu Shu revealed when he raised his head.

 

He had tried his best not to look into the priest’s eyes, but he still saw the coldness in Jiu Shu’s eyes.

 

Perhaps due to the fact that he had possessed Gu Yin when he came to this world, he had rarely seen the priest look at him with such a cold and indifferent gaze.

 

It was as if the person in front of him was no longer a close lover but an enemy.

 

That gentle gaze with laughter and love when looking at Gu Yin seemed like it would never be there again.

 

At this moment, it was as if the heart that had long been missing from his chest was coming back, producing an explosive strangling pain that made the ghost’s already bleak face turn ever whiter.

 

“I, dear, I didn’t mean that just now …”

 

Looking away to avoid Jiu Shu’s gaze, the ghost quickly braced himself to look again, barely maintaining a smile on his face as he attempted to explain what he had just said and done.

 

He seemed to think that this would change the current situation that was suffocating him and overwhelming him.

 

Jiu Shu’s response, however, caused the ghost’s lips to quiver and he seemed a little unable to breathe.

 

“Don’t call me that; only my beloved Gu Yin is allowed to.”

 

Jiu Shu didn’t even lift his head, still holding Gu Yin with his eyes downcast; his voice was calm, but it pierced the heart like an ice pick.

 

The large hand that the ghost had placed at his side was clenched tightly, his fingers sinking into his palm and shedding thick blood, but the priest didn’t care for Him as much as he cared for Gu Yin.

 

Even though he was also named Gu Yin.

 

“I am… I’m Gu Yin ……”

 

After a short pause, the ghost resumed His camouflaged steadiness and calmness as He stepped out from the darkness of the room, walked over to Jiu Shu, and crouched down.

 

With a pleasing, almost humble smile on his pale, handsome face, the ghost attempted to take Jiu Shu’s hand and disguise himself as Gu Yin like he had planned earlier.

 

Yes, he’d just disguise himself as Gu Yin, then Jiu Shu wouldn’t show such a look anymore.

 

He would continue to look at Him tenderly.

 

Just one more look at Him, just one more look that wasn’t so cold.

 

So cold that He felt that the whole world was meaningless, killing was meaningless, revenge was meaningless, and even His existence was meaningless.

 

However, the ghost’s wish didn’t come true; his hand was avoided.

 

Jiu Shu’s brows furrowed as he raised his eyes to look at the ghost’s pale face; he wanted to say something, but Gu Yin in his arms stopped him.

 

Gu Yin really didn’t want to let Jiu Shu see him in this miserable state now, afraid that Jiu Shu would think that he was too weak and ugly with blood dripping out of his face.

 

That was why he had been trying to cover himself just now, not letting Jiu Shu see his scarred face.

 

But he was even more unwilling to see the ghost impersonating him; he was so angry that his eyes turned scarlet at the sight of the ghost’s face that was pretending to be pitiful.

 

A mere third party, an impostor imitating him, actually tried seducing Jiu Shu in front of him; it was simply underhanded and shameless!

 

In his anger, Gu Yin couldn’t care less and hurriedly opened his mouth to reveal the true nature of the ghost, at the same time using his remaining half arm to push Jiu Shu towards the door with all his strength, “Don’t believe in him, dear; he’s just an impostor. Don’t worry about me; hurry and get out of here; this impostor will hurt you!”.

 

Gu Yin spoke, trying to show off his relatively intact profile to prove that his face was more beautiful and pitiful than that of the fierce ghost in order to prevent his lover from being seduced by this despicable person in front of him.

 

But between these movements, the wound on his throat got deeper; the smooth incision almost completely cut his neck, revealing the cervical vertebrae bones and blood vessels behind the incision, with only the fast-growing flesh and skin left; his head was about to fall off.

 

It was only when Jiu Shu helplessly cupped his neck that it actually stabilized.

 

The ghost looked at Gu Yin with a resentful gaze, hating himself for not cutting out Gu Yin’s tongue first, but at this point it was too late.

 

In the face of Jiu Shu’s probing eyes, He could only force Himself to be calm and act gently and friendly, as if He was really the Gu Yin who was deeply loved by Jiu Shu.

 

“No, I really won’t hurt you. I’m the real Gu Yin!”

 

“You know, I would never hurt you, dear.” Saying that, the ghost revealed a gentle smile that had been rehearsed countless times.

 

After being split up, many of Gu Yin’s memories were synchronized.

 

In those daily routines with the priest, whenever Gu Yin showed such a smile, Jiu Shu would return the same smile with soft eyes, sometimes even giving an intimate kiss.

 

Gu Yin, who was snuggling in Jiu Shu’s arms, saw this scene; his eyes were grim, his expression was twisted, and he almost broke his mouthful of good teeth, with how hard he was clenching his jaw.

 

He couldn’t wait to tear off that ghost’s face.

 

Although he had already done so, it wouldn’t stop him from tearing it again.

 

Luckily, Jiu Shu didn’t let that look, which was exactly the same as Gu Yin’s, move him; instead, he hugged Gu Yin tightly, and when he looked up at the ghost, his gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.

 

“You caused the injuries on Gu Yin; stop it quickly.”

 

Jiu Shu’s tone was certain, without the slightest bit of doubt.

 

He could see that there was a force preventing Gu Yin from recovering, and it was clearly the work of the other disciplinary object.

 

Jiu Shu’s gaze made the ghost stiff all over, but he still tried his best to remain calm and pretended to be sad. He lowered his head as he replied, “Darling, why are you looking at me like that? I really don’t know what’s going on with these injuries. On the contrary, this imposter is still alive even after this. It’s definitely not Gu Yin.”

 

The ghost pointed at Gu Yin, revealing a gaze like he was looking at a monster, “Its head is almost falling off, and it can still talk; this is not normal at all!”

 

The ghost’s memories weren’t completely synchronized with Gu Yin; all he could remember now was that Gu Yin was afraid of being discovered by Jiu Shu as a monster, and Jiu Shu had no idea that Gu Yin was a monster like him.

 

The ghost felt that by working on this aspect, it would be possible to make Jiu Shu abandon Gu Yin and feel that he was the real Gu Yin.

 

After all, at the moment, Gu Yin was simply a monster in appearance; how could any normal person recover so quickly and still be unharmed after being whittled down to a human stick?

 

He was different; he had a handsome face, dressed appropriately, and was completely a normal person.

 

“Dear, believe me, that’s a monster in your arms; I’m the real Gu Yin!”

 

The fierce ghost’s eyes lit up as he looked at Jiu Shu.

 

Jiu Shu was silent for a moment as he looked at the object of discipline in front of him with his eyes wide open.

 

Gu Yin, however, gnashed his teeth in hatred, and if he didn’t still need to do his best to maintain his calm and collected image in front of his lover, he would have fought with this malicious ghost.

 

Although he knew that Jiu Shu didn’t care if he was a monster or not, this kind of provocative words still made him furious.

 

Sooner or later, he would tear Him to pieces again!

 

Just at this moment, another movement of someone approaching came from outside the door.

 

“Killed, haha, killed!” It was an insane voice.

 

“I’ve succeeded! Succeeded!”

 

At this moment, the door to the room was wide open, just in time to see that the person outside the door was the male lead, Feng Yun.

 

As the original hero, Feng Yun’s appearance was originally quite handsome, but at this time, he had a head full of white hair and many wrinkles on his face, as if he had aged many years out of thin air, which was extremely bizarre.

 

At this time, he was holding the broken voodoo doll in his hand, looking excitedly at the Gu Yin in the room who had been whittled into a human stick.

 

After seeing that Jiu Shu was also in the room, he blurted out, “Good! The priest is also here; I’ll kill you too!”

 

Feng Yun only felt ecstatic at this moment.

 

He was determined to kill Gu Yin, but he finally got his wish and was able to kill him right away, so he specially came to see Gu Yin’s miserable state.

 

However, he didn’t expect that he would even encounter an unexpected joy, bumping into the enemy priest.

 

He didn’t even need to go looking for him; he could directly dispose of him here.

 

However, Feng Yun didn’t realize that the moment his words fell, the atmosphere of the entire church became unusually ghastly.

 

The black fog rolled around, ready to pounce on this human who didn’t know when to die, although he hadn’t been able to harm Jiu Shu yet, if one had such thoughts, they should be torn apart.

 

And compared to the fog, the flesh and blood in the church were equally excited, even more frantically wriggling to pounce and crush the human in front of them into mush.

 

The black fog that had already arrived first noticed the excessive agitation of the flesh and blood, as if it was trying to hide a secret.

 

Gu Yin furrowed his brows, instantly sensing that something was wrong, and when his eyes landed on the Voodoo Doll in Feng Yun’s hand, he was stunned and then revealed a smile that was so excited that it was morbid.

 

“Ahhhhh!”

 

Before Feng Yun could react, he let out a gurgling scream and was dragged by those hideous flesh and blood limbs, plunging most of his body into the wall.

 

The Doll in his hand quietly dropped under the entanglement of the black fog, revealing an appearance that was extremely similar to that of Gu Yin.

 

Then, the Doll was pushed by the mist to Jiu Shu’s side.

 

The fierce ghost subconsciously reached out his hand to take the doll, not wanting Jiu Shu to see this evidence of guilt.

 

He thought that it would be blocked by the black fog, but he didn’t expect to handle it.

 

It was easy to disdain the incompetence of Gu Yin, this fool. He couldn’t even protect a straw doll and almost delivered it to Jiu Shu.

 

The next second he heard Gu Yin say in a frightened voice, “I feel it; it’s this doll that turned me into this. Moreover, the doll has the aura of this ghost!”

 

Gu Yin revealed a weak expression, pointing his hastily repaired arm towards the Ghost and the Doll in his hand.

 

It was as if he had been caught in the act.

 

For better effect, he even coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood in a muffled voice, looking as if he had been tortured to the point of death.

 

“!!!”

 

Caught off guard, the expression on the fierce ghost’s face, who was still pinching the doll in his hand, instantly cracked!
