Chapter 60

Gu Yunshuang was clearly speaking Chinese, and Jiang Honghui could understand every word, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand anything.

Even the black cat was startled by Gu Yunshuang's words and asked in horror, "What do you want to do? Summoning the evil god because you think we're not dying fast enough?"

Gu Yunshuang: "Of course, it's to get the Special Management Bureau to find us as quickly as possible. Those two unknown ghosts outside are fighting evenly matched, and the noise they make isn't loud enough. If an evil god joins the fight, a three-way fight will cause the most damage to the ghost realm in the shortest possible time."

That sounds reasonable.

"But this is too risky." The black cat was very conflicted. It also wanted to cooperate with the Special Management Bureau outside to help break through the ghost domain as soon as possible. "How can you be sure that when the evil god arrives, it will fight them to the death first, instead of devouring us first?"

"That depends on Mr. Jiang." Gu Yunshuang looked at Jiang Honghui calmly.

At that moment, Jiang Honghui actually felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Gu Yunshuang. He calmed his mind and tried to regain the dominance that a superior should have: "Yunshuang..."

Gu Yunshuang interrupted him coldly, "Mr. Jiang, you don't think that since those two guys are fighting fiercely outside, you have time to lecture me here at length, do you? Don't forget about the group of ghosts. This door can't stop them. They may come after us at any time. This is a dead end. There is no escape. You will definitely be the first to die. I will conserve my strength and only take care of myself. Maybe I can hold on until the Special Management Bureau arrives."

Jiang Honghui was choked and felt that he was really blind to have thought that Gu Yunshuang was filial.

There was no warmth in Gu Yunshuang's eyes when he looked at him, nor was there any admiration that a son has for his father.

The black cat in his arms still showed its sharp claws, squinting its eyes and staring at him sinisterly. He immediately thought of the black cat's terrifying appearance of drawing out a series of ghostly eyeballs with a slight wave of its claws, and he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

He wisely put away his fatherly air and said solemnly, "In that case, I need you..."

This time, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Yunshuang's cold laugh. "Mr. Jiang, you didn't think I still couldn't see your original intention of tricking me into becoming a vessel for the evil god? Since you are so ignorant, Xiao Mei, we should conserve our strength and protect ourselves as much as possible from now on. Don't worry about Mr. Jiang's life or death."

The black cat nodded immediately and said with disgust, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. If it weren't for you, I would have kicked him into the pile of ghosts and monsters to let him die."

Jiang Honghui: ...What you did is not called survival of the fittest, but direct destruction.

He didn't dare to have any other thoughts and quickly said, "Wait, please listen to me. I'm not deliberately plotting something, but if you want to summon the evil god, you need to prepare a body container for him. Only then will the evil god descend."

Gu Yunshuang pointed at the paper doll in the corner and said, "That's it."

Jiang Honghui was embarrassed: "It's just a paper figurine, not to mention it's made in the image of Mingshuang."

"Ha!" Black Cat sneered. He had agreed to be a stand-in for Gu Yunshuang, but ended up piercing Jiang Mingshuang's face. Wasn't it obvious who he was standing in for?

At least one of Jiang Honghui's words was correct. He had raised Jiang Mingshuang for so many years, and he still had some feelings for her.

At first, the sacrifice he prepared for the evil god was not Gu Yunshuang, but Jiang Mingshuang. After Jiang Mingshuang's identity as his adopted son was exposed, he wanted to protect Jiang Mingshuang, so he was so eager to recognize Gu Yunshuang. Seeing that Gu Yunshuang was unmoved, he came up with this method to trick Gu Yunshuang into being the sacrifice.

If Gu Yunshuang didn't have Prayer and the Special Management Bureau behind him, and was just an outsider who knew nothing about metaphysics, and perhaps because he was worried about his father, he was really deceived by him.

Gu Yunshuang's gaze on Jiang Honghui grew colder. "Then find a way on your own. Don't forget that you're the one in most danger right now. Xiao Mei and I aren't 100% sure, but there's at least a 70% chance we'll be rescued by the Special Management Bureau. Don't worry, after you die, I'll stand up and inherit the Jiang family as your biological son."

“…” He was not at all reassured!

The muscles on Jiang Honghui's face twisted for a moment. He never knew that Gu Yunshuang could be so sharp-tongued.

Unfortunately, he was now at the mercy of others, unable to lash out even if he wanted to. He swallowed his anger and said, "Then I'll give it a try. It might not work."

The formation and props for summoning the evil god had already been set up in the basement. Jiang Honghui moved the paper man from the corner to the center of the formation and started cutting his wrists and bleeding again, instead of burning incense, kowtowing, and chanting.

The temperature in the basement quickly dropped by several degrees, and even gusts of cold wind blew, knocking down everything around. Gu Yunshuang, who was watching from the side, was blown so hard that he could hardly stand.

The two creatures fighting outside were shocked when they noticed the changes in the basement. They wanted to rush in to stop it, but neither of them wanted to let the other rush in first. Then they started fighting outside the door again, and this time the fight was more intense. The door and the wall frames were broken, and cracks appeared in the wall.

What was even more urgent was that the manager ghost also came with a group of waiter ghosts wearing cheongsams. Fortunately, when they came in, Gu Yunshuang pasted a piece of talisman paper on the door, which prevented these ghosts from coming through the wall directly.

But with a group of ghosts banging on the door, I'm afraid it won't hold for long.

The black shadow was very anxious and wanted to stop it, but was stopped by the Ghost King in official uniform. He was too flustered and fell into a disadvantage and was beaten in return.

The black shadow became increasingly angry and anxious, and his emotions were transmitted back to his main body, making Qi Yue's already bad situation even worse.

Gu Yunshuang didn't know the black shadow was one of their own ghosts. He just thought they had just happened to encounter two ghosts fighting each other, and they were unlucky to be caught in the fight. But he didn't want either side to lose, he just wanted them to fight more fiercely. So he frowned and urged, "Hurry up! Those ghosts are about to break down the door and come in!"

Jiang Honghui kowtowed until his head spun, the blood and cold sweat on his forehead mingling together. He smiled bitterly and said, "It still doesn't work. The spirit dislikes the poor quality of the paper figurine and refuses to bend over."

"Then you better think of a way quickly!" Gu Yunshuang's words were put into practice. There was another violent crash outside, and the wall cracked into several more cracks.

Jiang Honghui: "There is only one way at the moment. Since you are the sacrifice chosen by the evil god, as long as you smear blood on the face of the paper figurine to cover the main paper figurine's face, shoulders, and limbs, the evil god will mistakenly think that the person pointed at is you. Don't worry, this method of substitution will not leave any hidden dangers. If you don't believe me, you can ask the black cat in your arms."

Gu Yunshuang lowered his head and looked at the black cat.

The black cat said, "There is indeed such a method, but it will make the evil god remember your aura."

Jiang Honghui quickly said, "You have already been chosen as the evil god's sacrifice. Your aura has long been remembered by him."

After he said this, his whole body suddenly turned cold, as if he was locked in murderous intent by something terrible. He was startled and hurried to look at Gu Yunshuang and the black cat, only to see that the expressions of the man and the cat had not changed at all, as if they had known about this for a long time.

Gu Yunshuang asked Black Cat: "How is it? Is this method feasible?"

The black cat glanced at the cracked wall that looked like it would collapse at any moment, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Gu Yunshuang. He had already made up his mind and said, "Okay. The most important thing right now is to get the Special Management Bureau to find us quickly. If anything really happens, you can hide in my master's formation. Even if ten more evil gods come, they won't be able to hurt you."

Gu Yunshuang looked down at Jiang Honghui, who was nearly prostrated within the formation. "You'd better not play any more tricks. I'd like to tell you that I've been wearing invisible headphones and a camera made by the Special Management Bureau from the very beginning. They already know everything you've done. The teahouse is already heavily surrounded by Special Management Bureau personnel. If you still have any evil intentions, even if I really let you summon the evil god and let him protect you, you should think carefully about whether this little evil god can compare to the national destiny of our dynasty."

"Besides, I have not only the National Special Management Bureau behind me, but also my childhood sweetheart Qi Yue, a celestial master who is countless times more powerful than Xue Tinghe. If he wants to avenge me, he has plenty of ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death for eternity, and even the Special Management Bureau won't find out."

Jiang Honghui's expression changed, and Gu Yunshuang slowed down his tone again, saying, "If you behave yourself, and wait until we get out safely, and you haven't committed any serious crimes, given our relationship, I can use some connections to get the Special Management Bureau to show leniency to you. At least your status as the head of the Jiang family and your family property can be preserved."

“…”

Jiang Honghui smiled bitterly. He had never imagined that one day he would experience the same tactics he often used to win over his subordinates: giving them a beating before offering them a sweet treat. He could only say that he was indeed his own son.

However, he did believe what Gu Yunshuang said. He had always been clear that as long as he stayed in the country for one day, he would not be able to compete with a behemoth like the country.

Moreover, with the country's increasingly powerful influence, I am afraid that even if he flees abroad, he will be caught back.

What's more, behind Gu Yunshuang there is a young Taoist priest who is even more powerful than Xue Tinghe. In the world of metaphysics, there are many ways to destroy a person or a family without anyone knowing, and even prevent them from being reborn after death.

The reason he had dared to set his sights on Gu Yunshuang before was because he wanted to secretly trick Gu Yunshuang into being his own sacrifice. After that, the evil spirit would possess Gu Yunshuang's body and use his identity to hide it from everyone. He wouldn't have to worry about Qi Yue's revenge, and he might even be able to use "Gu Yunshuang" to win Qi Yue over to his side. This was a great opportunity with a lot of benefits.

But now that his plan has been discovered by the Special Management Bureau, he is well aware of the situation and dares not have any more evil thoughts.

Just as Gu Yunshuang said, it would be in his best interest if Gu Yunshuang could get out safely now.

He also believed that Gu Yunshuang could protect him, because he didn't believe that Gu Yunshuang would not be jealous of the Jiang family's wealth.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed. Then he realized with a wry smile that he really had to accept Gu Yunshuang's trick of giving him a sweet date after a blow.

At this time, there was another loud crash, and the door was finally knocked open with a big hole. Looking out of the hole, they saw those vengeful ghosts with eerie looks and grim smiles on their faces looking at them.

Gu Yunshuang no longer hesitated. He took out his own knife and cut his palm cleanly, allowing the blood to quickly cover the paper figure's face. He then quickly smeared the blood on the figure's shoulders and limbs. After doing all this, he quickly left the formation, being very careful not to let a drop of blood drip onto the ground.

Jiang Honghui continued the ritual of summoning the evil god.

This will go smoothly.

The blood-colored formation on the ground lit up with an ominous red light. The paper figure with a bloody face slowly moved, twisting its neck and hands, and looking down at Jiang Honghui, the one with the most blood in the head department. "Are you the one who summoned me? What is your wish?"

Jiang Honghui's face was filled with joy, but at the same time, the malice and desires within him were growing wildly, and his earlier rational analysis was completely forgotten. He simply wanted to continue with his original plan, asking the evil god to replace Gu Yunshuang, become his son, help him win over Qi Yue, and strengthen the Jiang family...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his mouth opened, wanting to express his strongest desire.

Boom! The ghost king in official robes broke through the crumbling door and fell on the evil god, crushing its head.

It turned out that Qi Yue, who was far away at Ghost Gate, sensed the appearance of the evil god and thought Gu Yunshuang was in danger, so he completely lost control and exploded. At the same time, the power of his black shadow clone naturally increased dramatically, and he smashed the Ghost King into the evil god in time.

The evil god was stunned by this sudden blow. Then he was furious: "How dare you! What kind of demon dares to sit on my head!"

The furious evil god didn't bother to care about the wishes of the little believer who summoned him. He just wanted to kill the ghost thing sitting on his head that dared to offend his divine power.

The evil god chased the ghost king and beat him all the way. The mad black shadow smelled the blood of Gu Yunshuang on the evil god and became even more angry than the evil god, chasing after him and beating him violently.

The Ghost King knew he had been ambushed by the shadow and was furious. He chased after the shadow and beat him violently. The three of them formed a perfect closed loop.

Gu Yunshuang still used the palm-sized special anesthetic gun that he had secretly held in his hand to knock Jiang Honghui unconscious.

Just now, when he saw that Jiang Honghui was in a bad condition, he realized that something was wrong and immediately took out the tranquilizer gun, wanting to knock him out with a shot before Jiang Honghui could open his mouth.

Unexpectedly, before he could make any move, the official uniform ghost came crashing down on him. The subsequent developments went perfectly according to his plan. It was simply too smooth.

Everything went so smoothly that Gu Yunshuang felt it was unreal. He always felt that there were dangers and conspiracies hidden that he didn't know about.

He said warily, "The shadow's action was too timely. Was it intentional? Is there some conspiracy?"

“…”

Black Cat thought, what conspiracy could he have? At most, he just wants to take advantage of you.
