At 10:00 PM, Great-Grandma dragged Li Xianyu into watching horror movies. For this reason, he went to the supermarket to buy a lot of snacks. To put it nicely, it was so that Li Xianyu could adapt to the atmosphere of terror and be a qualified ghost man in the future. But he thought she was just taking the opportunity to spend money on snacks.
The three of them sat on the couch, turned off the lights, and watched the horror film together. San Wu and Great-Grandma all changed into their pyjamas. Great-Grandma had a baby face and looked like a high school student. The last time she went out for shopping, Li Xianyu gave her a teenage girl"s pyjamas. The shorts reached the top of her thighs, and had a bright yellow round collar. The pyjamas was a set and was printed with the cartoon character Pleasant Goat.
Great-Grandma looked like a high school girl without a doubt.
San Wu was wearing a conservative pajamas, looking at horror movies expressionlessly.
They were watching an old Thailand film "One Missed Call", which Great-Grandma found. She learned things very quickly. She could use the computer, internet television, and smartphone skillfully in just a few days. She also learned to use the beauty camera. She liked to take selfies and must remove her mole at the corner of her eye.
Li Xianyu had seen her selfie photos. He thought that Great-Grandma with her mole looked particularly lively and beautiful. She looked even prettier with it but she seemed to be very dissatisfied with her mole.
"I"m scared to death," Li Xianyu whimpered and shuddered, as he huddled closer to Great-Grandma.
The best Asian horror films were j.a.panese and Thai, and were especially terrifying, followed by South Korea. As for China, they used to be one of the best. This was no flattery but the objective truth.
The most trashy horror movies were from Europe and the United States. Westerners does not seem to be aware of the differences between spook and gore.
"How useless, You"re a seven-foot man, and scared out of your wits." Great-Grandma pushed Li Xianyu away in disdain, and took the chance to wipe the potato chips sc.r.a.ps on her great-grandson.
"It"s alright if you don"t look manly enough, but you"re still so cowardly. Your father was much better. He was partying before a tombstone at three years old, drifting with a hea.r.s.e at five. Your father was much better than a three-year-old graveyard, a five-year-old hea.r.s.e drift, and mixing rice with ashes at 10."
Compared with the gap between her predecessor and her present, Great-Grandma was utterly exasperated and wiped a handful of potato chips.
"Being delicate doesn"t mean I"m effeminate." Li Xianyu defended himself, then said, "Didn"t you say that my father awakened only at 20 years old?"
"A real powerful man comes from the strength of the heart." Great-Grandma taught, "Even if you don"t have the strength to destroy the sky and earth, you must have the courage to compete with the sky."
"Bulls.h.i.+t, that"s not a powerful man. that"s Mai s.h.i.+ranui"s younger brother."
"What?"
"You don"t know what"s good for you."
"Foolish, short-sighted. How can such an uncultured person like you come from my Li family?"
"Because there"s Great-Grandma"s blood flowing through my body."
"Scram."
The two were fighting, and the snacks were flying around. San Wu sat on the side, watching the horror film quietly and out of the two"s way.
"San Wu, save me!" Li Xianyu screamed.
San Wu turned to look. The grandson could not defeat the ancestor and was trampled on his face by a long white leg.
San Wu asked seriously, "Will you beat him to death?"
Great-Grandma replied, "I"m disciplining my great-grandson. If the child is naughty, a beating will do. It"s too much to beat him to death."
San Wu replied with "Oh," and continued to watch the movie.
Li Xianyu asked, "Hey hey, do you have any misunderstandings about the task of "protecting me"?"
After all, she was an ancestor who had lived for 150 years. He was a 20 year old salted fish and could not beat her at all. He made peace with her at the great cost of pancakes and two eggs for tomorrow"s breakfast.
Great-Grandma continued to munch at her snacks contently and watch horror movies. Li Xianyu dared not look and scrolled through the messages in the demon descendants members group chat at the corner of the sofa.
Something seemed to have happened in the group, and it was accurate to say that a prominent figure met with an accident, demon descendants t.i.tle: Lady Killer.
He was someone Li Xianyu was still familiar with.
[Head of Law Enforcement] Lightning King: "d.a.m.n it, even that fellow Killer is also trapped in Long Aotian"s world."
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: "..."
Fingering Techniques Similar to Kato Eagle: "I was wondering why I couldn"t reach him today. He"s the tenth to be trapped."
[Head of Law Enforcement] Lightning King: "Killer said his cultivation had improved greatly and wanted to try to wake Long Aotian up. In the end..."
Li Bai: "It"s all in the world, the center is so drunk. [covers face]."
Tong Tong: "Uncle Li Bai, what does that mean?"
Li Bai: It means "Oh please, he"s drunk."
Tong Tong: "Uncle Killer is trapped in there, too? That"s terrible. Who"s going to save them and wake Uncle Long Aotian?"
[Files Administrator] Mo Fei: "Tong Tong, don"t you like Long Ao Tian? He always wants to show you goldfish."
Tong Tong: "But if he doesn"t come out, the company"s project couldn"t go on, and a lot of people are trapped in it."
[Files Administrator] Mo Fei: "The big boss has to bear this responsibility. I told him earlier on that Long Aotian"s state of mind was unstable, but he wouldn"t listen."
Li Bai: "I"ll call him on your behalf, @ Lord Haize."
[Files Administrator] Mo Fei: "I"m not afraid. Big bosses never come online. Eat s.h.i.+t, Li Bai."
[Files Administrator] Mo Fei sent a picture of a naked man lying in bed, showing a ferocious p.e.n.i.s. She also photoshopped Li Xianyu"s eyes into colorful t.i.tanium alloy eyes. The caption was: "I"ll kill you with a strike of my rod."
Other people in the demon descendants chat group did not know, but there were no normal people out of these members who were more active, except Thunderbolt Battle Lady.
The Files Administrator, Mo Fei was a good-looking lady who was bespectacled. Li Xianyu has seen her alb.u.m, she was a rare beauty, and was responsible for managing the company"s files. At the same time, she has the power to name the company"s demon descendants members.
All the above random and nonsensical t.i.tles were named by her.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: "However, Hou (surname) [referring to Lady Killer] has a strong spirit and should not suffer schizophrenia like Fire Child."
G.o.d of Fire: "My poor apprentice, is there still hope for him?"
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: "Oh, G.o.d of Fire is back? How did the task go? Are the cult members of Ancient G.o.ds Clan settled?"
G.o.d of Fire: "This time the mission information was wrong, it was all a bunch of henchmen. There was not a single big fish, but I got a little clue from there. The cult seemed to be planning something."
Fingering Techniques Similar to Kato Eagle: "What are they planning?"
G.o.d of Fire: "I burned them all to death on a whim and forgot to ask."
[Head of Law Enforcement] Lightning King: "I can only give you a B-grade evaluation on this mission. You can"t change your grumpy and impulsive temper in this life, can you?"
G.o.d of Fire: "@ Li s.h.i.+zhen, as soon as I got back, I heard that Fire Child was ill again? Didn"t you say he was healed? There"s nothing you could do about it?"
[Medical Department Vice Team Leader] Li s.h.i.+zhen: "Anyway, there"s nothing our medical department can do about it. [shrugs]"
G.o.d of Fire: "We should burn a menace like Long Aotian in a blaze."
[Medical Department Vice Team Leader] Li s.h.i.+zhen: "Calm your rage, G.o.d of Fire. In order to untie the bell, the person who tied it is required. Only Long Ao Tian can save your apprentice, and our colleagues who have fallen into the virtual world."
Li Bai: "Yeah, G.o.d of Fire, don"t be impulsive."
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: "G.o.d of Fire, control yourself [cover your face]"
Lightning King: "@G.o.d of Fire, you"d better be on your business trip. If you burn the headquarters. I can"t save you. The big boss will hang you up and hit you. [covers face]"
G.o.d of Fire was a S-rank employee of the law enforcement department, and at the same rank with San Wu. Law enforcement staff were divided into five ranks: S, Senior, Intermediate, Junior, and Trainee.
The company"s demon descendants members rank, in addition to combat strength, was followed by contribution.
Like Li Xianyu, after he got through trainee stage, would become a junior employee. If he wanted to be promoted, he would have to rely on the value of the points, which depended on contribution. Otherwise, he would still be a junior no matter how powerful he was.
Walking Pile Driver: "Senior Li s.h.i.+zhen, I"m here again. Let"s arrange an appointment."
[Medical Department Vice Team Leader] Li s.h.i.+zhen: "It"s hopeless. Farewell."
Walking Pile Driver: "Chottomatte..."
Li s.h.i.+zhen was offline.
G.o.d of Fire: "Hmm, Walking Pile Driver? Who is this?"
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: "He is a new employee and has no t.i.tle for the time being."
G.o.d of Fire: "Oh, I thought Mo Fei"s brain is finally broken, giving such a t.i.tle."
Li Bai sent a picture captioned: "G.o.d of Fire, you know nothing about power."
Fingering Techniques Similar to Kato Eagle sent a picture captioned: "I hear you"ve advanced? I, Li Xianyu, am not convinced."
King Kong sent a picture captioned: "Eat s.h.i.+t, G.o.d of Fire."
[Files Administrator] Mo Fei sent a picture captioned: "Your brain is broken. I"ll teach you a lesson in a few minutes."
G.o.d of Fire: "???"
Thunderbolt Battle Lady: [covers face]
Walking Pile Driver:[covers face]
[Head of Law Enforcement] Lightning King: "When you"re free, bring San Wu to the company. Jiu Yi is a spiritual awakening member. He should not be controlled so easily by Long Aotian. But he may be trapped in the spiritual world, so San Wu can bring him out."
Walking Pile Driver: "Got it."
Li Xianyu put down his mobile phone and held back his curiosity.
Looking at the people"s chat messages, Long Aotian seemed to be a member of the company"s demon descendants members, but there seemed to be a problem with him, as implicated by a bunch of co-workers.
Virtual world?
Li Xianyu said, "San Wu, Lightning King asked us to take the time to go to the company, saying that Lady Killer is trapped in the spiritual world. I"m not going to ask what the spiritual world is, I don"t think you can say it either."
After watching a horror movie, San Wu said she was going to go back to the room to practice, Great-Grandma yawned and said she was going to bed after eating and drinking. She said that she hoped that her great-grandson will continue to watch horror movies, and strive to train his courage.
But as soon as they left, Li Xianyu turned off the television.
The next day, he went to school as usual, but received some terrible news.
Zhang Ying was dead.
