Chapter 1.9
After all, she was a very discerning ghost. The Opera Ghost quickly walked to the incense burner and lit incense to pay her respect in one go. And in just one minute, the entire mourning process was completed.
Next, it was time to test her ability to escape.
As a sophisticated ghost, the Opera Ghost didn’t think that she could escape from Gu Mozhi’s evil mouth by pleasing him so much. So instead of playing the emotional card, she thought it was better to run faster and not give the demon a chance.
She took a deep breath, three two one, and instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the door. She didn’t even have time to take the umbrella placed at the door. However, even so, she still failed to save her ghost bead. When she disappeared from sight, she realized that her speed was getting slower and slower, and she no longer had her original athletic stance. Reaching out and touching her dantian, she had unsurprisingly lost something.
Opera Ghost: “…”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
How unreasonable!
Enraged, the Opera Ghost turned around and rushed back, stretched out her two claws that could no longer grow sharp nails, and scratched at Gu Mozhi’s face angrily. Using both her hands, the moves were so fast that it was almost an after image.
Gu Mozhi remained unmoved and easily dodged her attack and kicked the Opera Ghost out.
The onlookers gasped and were silent for a while.
Not to mention the question of whether the Opera Ghost was a ghost or not, just looking at her appearance and figure, if she were alive, she would definitely be a beautiful lady at the level of a goddess. She was kicked mercilessly into the rain and fell down like a rag doll on the rain-covered stone street. The scene was really poignant.
——Of course, one has to ignore the young lady’s angry red eyes and messy hair like a madwoman.
Not to mention the red eyes from anger, even the ghost lady’s face, which was covered with a layer of white powder, one could faintly see a light red color, which showed how angry the other party was. Everyone immediately looked at Gu Mozhi with condemning eyes, he was not a man!
But Gu Mozhi raised his lips and sneered: “Hey, haven’t you seen a gay?”
“…” Okay, you win.
Gu Mozhi didn’t know the word gay until he came to the human world. After all, in their Purgatory, there was no such thing as finding a partner based on gender. Since the Goddess of Purgatory was a 100% beauty-con, everyone in Purgatory followed her example and naturally cared about appearance the most. Faces were of course the most important factor in choosing a mate.
And thanks to the blessing of the Goddess, all serious Purgatory creatures (that is, excluding ghosts) followed the principle that races with good looks have a high probability of crushing those with low looks in terms of strength. Even among the same clan, the same was true for good-looking people. Therefore, when living together in Purgatory, in addition to liking someone, one would also look at a person with the same face value.
To put it simply, the creatures in Purgatory were all gay, regardless of whether they were male or female. Gu Mozhi had already chosen his spouse a long time ago. If he hadn’t accidentally escaped to the Human World because of his damn curiosity, he would not have been separated from his partner. But he was not in a hurry. The guy treated him like a baby and would come looking for him soon.
In short, based on the guidance of this value, Gu Mozhi exposed the fact that he was gay without any scruples. He didn’t care about other people’s strange gazes, or didn’t even think it was something worth looking at, so he didn’t notice the strange looks on those people’s faces, and took it casually.
He didn’t quite understand why this group of people had such an attitude of pity towards a woman. After all, in Purgatory, females were generally stronger than males, because the females in this group were basically better looking than the males. That means in addition to looking good, they were also stronger.
If Gu Mozhi had to say it, he would never feel sympathy or pity for girls. He would only feel sorry for people who look apologetic…En, forget it, dog face doesn’t really want to deal with a creature that looks apologetic.
Gu Mozhi’s kick knocked the female ghost sober. She lay on the ground and covered her face and cried for a while. Her voice was so sad that everyone who heard it was heartbroken and everyone who saw it shed tears. And she also had a melodious and soft voice, which made her look even more pitiful when she cried.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Gu Mozhi became even more sad and angry, this damn gay man!
After crying for a while, the female ghost finally regained her composure. She got up and glanced at Gu Mozhi resentfully, then touched her wet skirt in a distressed manner, walked to the door with heavy steps, took her umbrella and left. The footsteps changed from clicking to banging to stomping, as if venting her dissatisfaction.
Gu Mozhi didn’t seem to hear her and turned around to go back to sleep.
“Master…” Jian Linglong followed over, hesitated, and asked, “Why did you tell them that you are… uh, gay?”
Children these days were much more understanding. Although she was only a twelve-year-old girl, she already knew that homosexuality was not an accepted existence by the public. Especially the world they lived in before was not like some worlds where fujoshis were in power and this was accepted. In their world, homosexuality was still a very niche existence and was still hidden among heterosexuals. Most people didn’t dare to reveal even a little bit.
Now that Gu Mozhi’s sexual orientation has been exposed, she didn’t know if those players would say anything unpleasant.
“Don’t worry about them.” Gu Mozhi had never thought too much about anything, and he never cared about other people’s eyes. “I’m just annoyed that they stare at me like I’m not a man. Why? What about the promised equality between men and women? How come men are born having to give way to women?”
As he spoke, he chuckled, turned around and asked the College Girl next to him: “Beauty, do you like being helped by boys?”
The girl shook her head without thinking: “I don’t need them to give me way. Except for some things where I have to ask boys for help due to physical reasons, such as my lack of strength to move things, I can handle everything else by myself.”
To put it bluntly, many men usually give in to her or help her, not because they sympathized with the “weak”, but because they felt that they were inherently stronger than women, so they had to give some help. Maybe they didn’t realize it themselves, but they were subconsciously looking down on those girls.
Gu Mozhi nodded, not surprised by what she said. In fact, he felt the same in his heart, because he was often “given in to” by the female bosses in Purgatory. Moreover, those cruel women usually didn’t come to help, but directly carried you to the side like a chicken, coaxed you like a child and said “Don’t block me”, and then finished everything by themselves in minutes. As for you, you could only watch the Big Boss show off her operations helplessly.
Jian Linglong listened thoughtfully.
When the College Girl saw that she was quite smart at such a young age, she couldn’t help but want to mention a few more words. She pulled Jian Linglong and said earnestly: “You may not have read novels about infinite flow and apocalypse. In fact, in places like this, people generally don’t care much about secular perspectives.”
Again, if your life was about to be lost, who cared whether you like a boy or a girl? In this kind of game where the next moment could be goodbye forever, timely happiness would soon become the norm. These players had just entered the game and had not adapted to the situation here. After a long time, no one would meddle in others’ business.
Even now, did those people have the guts to say “homosexuality is disgusting”? At best, they could have weird expressions on their faces, or look at others in a strange way. But soon, no fool would be like this anymore. Because they would understand that many strong people have weird personalities and cruel methods, and their uncomfortable looks might very well lead to them being killed by the strong people.
Gu Mozhi ignored the analysis of human nature here and closed his eyes to sleep.
However, Pink-hair has been looking at him from the corner of his eye from time to time. The look in his eyes was different from others. It didn’t seem like he was looking at him like this because the other party was gay. After the College Girl finished chatting with Jian Linglong, she noticed this and leaned over to ask in a low voice.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Pink-hair hesitated for a moment: “Did you just see that scene?”
“What scene?” The College Girl was confused.
“It’s just…” Pink-hair’s mouth twitched slightly, “He took something out of the female ghost’s belly.”
The College Girl’s eyes widened in surprise, suddenly thinking of what happened last night. At that time, everyone vaguely saw Gu Mozhi taking out something, but because he was too fast, they didn’t see it clearly and thought they were dazzled. But today Pink-hair said that he saw it again, and the College Girl was immediately shaken. Could it be that they hadn’t misread it before?
“The female ghost ran so fast, how did you see it?” At that time, the female ghost ran away and disappeared. Later, she came back inexplicably and fought with Gu Mozhi. She had been surprised at that. It would be understandable if Gu Mozhi really took something from her.
Pink-hair smiled helplessly, “I shouldn’t be wrong, because of what happened last night, I purposely paid close attention tonight and found that he did make a move to pull something out.”
“……”
This time, even the College Girl couldn’t help but sympathize with the female ghost, not because she was a weak and beautiful female ghost, but because she was such a good ghost. She was supposed to come majestically to scare the players, but instead she stayed down and acted like a nice ghost for a long time, but she still lost something. It was quite miserable to have a double penalty.
Then she became like Pink-hair. She couldn’t help but glance at Gu Mozhi from the corner of her eyes with an indescribable expression, and expressed her deep admiration for his ruthlessness.
Gu Mozhi couldn’t sleep after being stared at by them. He opened his eyes and glared at the two people: “Sleep.”
The two of them quickly responded obediently and closed their eyes. Now they couldn’t see even if they wanted to, and they were finally able to sleep peacefully.
When it was daylight, Gu Mozhi slowly took out a sinister black bead from his pocket, threw it into his mouth and chewed it for breakfast.
They had wasted a lot of time sleeping last night, so the Pink-hair duo, who had gotten up late, happened to run into this scene. The two were silent for a while, left together, and conducted research and discussion on the origin of the bead.
“It’s something that was pulled out from the ghost yesterday, isn’t it?” The College Girl said awkwardly.
“I guess so.” Pink-hair agreed.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and it was shocking to see the ghost-eating Boss.
In the end, they decided to keep this matter to themselves. It was none of their business what the Boss did. It was enough to satisfy their curiosity. This was the last time. If they encountered this kind of thing in the future, they would definitely not explore it to avoid getting into trouble and to avoid having their three views shattered.
In the room, Jian Linglong woke up rubbing her eyes. When she saw her Master chewing something, she suddenly became resentful.
Last night! Didn’t seize the opportunity again last night!
She was a little discouraged. Didn’t the female ghost escape too fast? She couldn’t catch her at all, and could only barely see her movements clearly. This time, she let the Master get the jump on her, so at this rate, when would she be able to have a big meal?
