Chapter 60: Meeting Cheng Jia again (part 1 of 4)

“Oh? Goldie, stop.” Gu Wuji looked at that middle-aged male ghost before him, with an expression that appears to have a bit of disappointment, as he made the monster loosen it’s bite.

Upon seeing this expression of his, the fear in the middle-aged man’s heart increased even more, so much so that the feeling this person gave him was no lesser than that of the person behind the scene. Wrong! The most that grandmaster Ning could do was just to intimidate others. But this person before him obviously looks very upstanding, yet can still be frightening……

Truth be told, Goldie, who was standing beside Gu Wuji, was also incapable of devouring the whole ghost. Gu Wuji had only said this offhandedly, but didn’t expect the effect to be this good. This ghost wasn’t as fearless as he had imagined. He immediately walked forward unhurriedly, and plainly said: “Speak up.”

“I’ll speak, I’ll say everything……” The middle-aged male ghost fearfully expressed, and promptly blurted out all the things he knew.

He was formerly just an ordinary ghost, and could only scare people at most. Although he had some resentment, but it still wasn’t to the extent of being able to kill people like now.

But one day, he happened to come across-……

The moment he spoke of this, the expression of this male ghost suddenly underwent a great change, red threads had unexpectedly appeared on his body all of a sudden, binding his body. He couldn’t spit out even a single word. His body had even gradually started to become transparent due to this thread.

Even Goldie had retreated a bit at this time, hiding behind Gu Wuji while whimpering a few times, as if it was terrified of this red thread.

“What’s going on?” Gu Wuji leaned forward and rushed to the ghost, but his hands were completely incapable of touching this thread. He could only watch as the expression of this male ghost became extremely twisted, as if suffering from a great pain, his body at the same time became increasingly transparent. He couldn’t help but frown, “It looks like that person behind the scene did something to him, to make him incapable of revealing his name.”

Moreover, with this occurrence, the person behind the scene may have been alerted. If that happens, his investigation might become even harder.

""

Even though Gu Wuji had thought of this, but he still didn’t have any means to grab a hold of this red thread. After all, from the information the male ghost had revealed, his current power was estimated to have been given to him by that person behind the scene. It was also very normal for the other party to lay down a few things when he gave him power.

“Forget it, now that the soul has flown away and scattered, this can also be considered as an appropriate retribution.”Gu Wuji muttered to himself.

Along with the complete dissipation of this evil spirit, this strange space gradually dissipated as well, and the sounds from the outside world could now be heard.

Goldie had already plunged straight into Gu Wuji’s arm. Gu Wuji then went over to rouse the unconscious Fang Yiyun, and quickly left before the other party completely regained consciousness. He also doesn’t want to be involved with too many people after all.

“Should there really be something of use in the system’s universal mall at this time?”

Having thought of this, Gu Wuji opened the mall interface. But was unable to find any suitable item after having searched for quite some time. In order to track the whereabouts of other people, he needs to at least get a hold of a few more things.

In the end, he still chose to try drawing an item. Something good should appear after downing 5000 points, right?

This time, after the bright rays of light had dissipated, the system’s notification announced.

[Congratulations to the player for drawing a rare ability: Malicious spirit summon.]

Gu Wuji: “?” This seems to sound very extraordinary.

[Malicious spirit summon: Even if it is in a different world, the player can use his body as a medium to summon a malicious spirit that has been seen before. The summon object is randomized, the usage should not exceed 5 minutes, otherwise a very strong backlash would occur.]

[The summon ability has a cooldown of 12 hours, and will also consume a great deal of the player’s physical strength.]

[Note: The summoned malicious spirit may become weaker or stronger depending on the current environment. Furthermore, this summoning doesn’t provide any protection to the player. So the player might experience a life crisis. Please use with caution.]

Gu Wuji, on the contrary, felt somewhat relieved upon seeing this part. How could there be such a good thing in this world? If this could really enable him to summon malicious spirits to do whatever he wanted without any repercussions, then that would only serve to make others uneasy.

However, this ability seems to be very dangerous. With just a bit of negligence, for example, if the summoned ghost has a very high animosity value, this can cause the summoned ghost to not deal with the opponent, but take action against the player himself.

Gu Wuji thought of just heading back home like this today. But his figure suddenly paused for a moment, he could clearly perceive that a certain owner of the talisman he gave out had come across a dangerous situation.

Moreover, this was certainly not the fear of just having ghost encounters like those people with Xia Yangshuo before, this time was for real.

After taking out his mobile phone, only then did he notice the message Cheng Jia sent. It seems that there was a time constraint, as only the 2 words of help me was sent.

“It really is Cheng Jia.”

Gu Wuji knew that going into panic was also of no use. He made a call to the Cheng family to inquire right away, and learned of the matter of Cheng Jia being taken away by his paternal granduncle from Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang tone had still been full of joy. Expressing that there had been all kinds of good events from the moment grandmaster Gu had arrived, and she will certainly hand him a red envelope next time.

Gu Wuji responded a few times. But after the call was hanged, his expression immediately underwent a change. He called a taxi at once and headed to the place where he perceived the dangers.

He was aware, that Cheng Jia was probably in an unfavorable situation at this time. That Cheng patriarch was obviously not some kind of good person, to hurriedly take someone out at such a very late night, it would be a wonder if nothing problematic happened.

But this time was different from those several bad luck in addition to those heavy negative energy ghost encounters before. The person behind the scene was estimated to do something to him. The reason should probably be due to the connection Cheng Jia has with the malicious spirit of Cheng Jia in the mirror’s world.

It seems that he might have to make use of that newly acquired ability this time.
