Chapter 90 Nothingness (2)
I don't know when the statue opened its eyes.
Gu Qiufeng felt a chill even stronger than when he was chased by the red-clothed ghost before, suddenly rising from his spine and rushing to his brain.
It was a peek from a higher dimensional being that was immovable and unshakable.
So the deity enshrined in this temple can’t be an evil god, right?
Gu Qiufeng gritted his teeth and looked into the eyes of the tall and handsome statue in front of him, cursing in his heart.
However, Gu Qiufeng soon calmed down in the face of these constantly occurring abnormal phenomena, as if he had long been accustomed to these gods and ghosts.
After Gu Qiufeng calmed down, his mind quickly recalled the words of the woman with long black hair on the bus.
There should be no need for the other party to deliberately trick him into offering sacrifice to the gods and committing suicide. If they really wanted Gu Qiufeng to die, they could just not let him get off the ghost bus. Why would they go to so much trouble to help him avoid the red-clothed ghost just to let him enter the temple and die?
So there are only three possible situations at the moment.
First, there is some kind of agreement between the woman and the evil god of the abandoned temple, similar to the relationship between a food supplier and buyer.
Gu Qiufeng instinctively felt that this was not the case.
In this absurd and bizarre world, perhaps intuition and instinct are more reliable than eyes and ears.
The second possibility is that some unusual changes occurred in the temple that the woman did not know about, such as the fall of a good god.
Another outrageous guess is that the god in the temple has two sides, and he just had bad luck and ran into the bad side.
Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth (1).
"Hey," Gu Qiufeng said, "You've been staring at me for so long, why don't you kill me?"
His tone was calm, as if life and death were not a big deal.
The statue's eyes moved.
Gu Qiufeng asked again: "What does your true form look like? Can you let me be a clear-headed ghost before I die?"
"Why do you want to see my true body?" The statue did not open its mouth, but its voice directly invaded Gu Qiufeng's mind, making Gu Qiufeng shudder instinctively.
Gu Qiufeng put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Because I have an occupational disease. Sigh, you are so capable, you should know my previous job, right? I am a manager."
The statue's voice became a little gloomy: "Of course I know."
"Why are you talking so angrily?" Gu Qiufeng wondered, "You haven't been cheated by your agent, have you?"
Statue: “Heh.”
Gu Qiufeng: “……?”
Gu Qiufeng was hit in the face by the resentment of the statue, and belatedly remembered his fragmented memory.
Damn it, before I lost my memory, I wasn’t the agent who cheated the evil god, right?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really his style, worthy of being... No, Gu Qiufeng carefully counted the number of creatures that were hostile to him along the way, and was shocked to find that he might have been a character before he lost his memory.
How did he attract so many enemies?
Gu Qiufeng was horrified.
Evil God: "Remember?"
Gu Qiufeng said honestly: "I remember a little, but not much. You may be one of the victims of my deception."
Evil God: “.”
one.
ha.
Gu Qiufeng felt that the most critical moment now was to quickly eliminate the hostility of the evil god in front of him.
He said, "But you didn't kill me right away. I can reasonably speculate whether there is any connection between us."
The statue said, "That's right. You promised me that you would be my agent, but you ran away later."
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
As expected of him.
He touched his nose: "So what do you want to do?"
The evil god said, "You have a blank card in your hand, right? Come here, hold my hand, and let's sign a contract."
Gu Qiufeng agreed immediately, but suddenly turned around and saw the red-clothed ghost outside still trying hard to break into the temple.
Even if it is thrown again and again.
"How persistent." Gu Qiufeng sighed, "If this were a human, he would have been beaten to a pulp long ago, right? Why do you hate me so much and want to kill me? Will I be torn to pieces if I go out?"
The evil god said darkly, "If you go out, all the ghosts in Phoenix Village will probably want to eat you alive."
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
What hatred did he create?
The evil god said: "Make a contract with me, and I will protect you."
Gu Qiufeng said thoughtfully: "If I go out now, you shouldn't be able to stop me, right?"
He suddenly took a step forward, and rushed out of the door under a casual disguise. The moment he left the temple, Gu Qiufeng heard the evil god's furious voice.
Gu Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Contrary to what the evil god said, there were no ghosts and monsters outside trying to kill him.
Because they were all torn into pieces by the red-clothed ghost and their bodies were lying in front of the temple.
Before, Gu Qiufeng always thought that the red-clothed ghost was a monster that came to take his life, but now he realized that the other party was just a thin young boy.
The young man had long hair and handsome looks. He was a little dazed as he stared at Gu Qiufeng who appeared in front of him, because he had not anticipated Gu Qiufeng's sudden change of mind.
The corners of his eyes were wet and red, and he looked aggrieved, like a kitten abandoned by its owner.
Gu Qiufeng apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't remember, did we know each other before?"
The young man in red wiped his red eyes and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay, sir."
As expected, I know him.
Gu Qiufeng sighed, wondering how many sins he had committed.
Looking at the boy's pitiful face, Gu Qiufeng said with a guilty conscience: "I didn't cheat you, did I?"
The young man in red shook his head and whispered, "Sir is the best person to me in this world."
"Is that so..." Gu Qiufeng said thoughtfully, "Then do you want to make a contract with me? I heard from the monsters in the temple that this contract is quite good."
The young man in red asked nervously, "Sir, don't you doubt me?"
Gu Qiufeng was puzzled: "What did I doubt? You helped me solve my enemies. Just for this reason, you are much better than the one in the temple who can only make empty promises."
"But," Gu Qiufeng said, "Do you know what happened to me? Where are we?"
Feng He shook his head: "I don't remember either."
Gu Qiufeng was suspicious: "Then you..."
The boy looked at him sincerely and said, "The reason why I remember you is because you are indispensable to me."
But Gu Qiufeng, who didn’t remember the boy, said: “…”
His non-existent conscience suddenly felt a sharp pain.
"Although you may have known me for a long time." Gu Qiufeng coughed lightly and said, "But I still want to introduce myself. I am a top agent, and my name is Gu Qiufeng."
The young man quickly placed his cold fingertips on Gu Qiufeng's palm, as if he was afraid that Gu Qiufeng would change his mind suddenly. A faint light emanated from his body, echoing the blank card.
The young man said seriously: "Sir, don't forget, my name is Feng He."
A white light flashed before his eyes, and the young man named Feng He disappeared. A statue of a god with an air of immortality appeared on the card, and the blank spaces around it were filled with graceful phoenixes.
【Card Collection Degree 1/6】
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Gu Qiufeng's mind moved.
Is he in some big game?
Gu Qiufeng put away the card with the extra image, turned around and was about to leave this strange place, continuing to explore more things to piece together the clues.
Just as he was about to step over the stone tablet, a sound of something heavy falling to the ground was suddenly heard in the temple.
Gu Qiufeng paused.
A very familiar voice came from the temple, with a hint of resentment and anger: "You deceived me again."
The one who spoke was the evil god who had just deceived him.
But this time the voice was real. Gu Qiufeng turned around and saw a man in white rushing out of the temple in a panic.
He looks like the statue of God, extremely handsome.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly realized that this was an enlarged version of the young man in red who had just made a contract with him? !
However, after the childish look on the face of this man in white was gone, he looked even more fierce.
The thing in the temple was obviously furious, and actually revealed its true form and chased after us.
"You lied to me again." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you always choose that loser? How is that loser better than me?"
Gu Qiufeng: "...Why are you still pulling people down?"
"You clearly promised to take me away from the beginning." The evil god stared at Gu Qiufeng sinisterly, "He hates souls who don't keep their promises."
Gu Qiufeng said helplessly: "You are such a big mouth, you can make up rumors at will. Although I have lost my memory, I am not a fool. How can I not know whether I will make a promise to a monster like you?"
Gu Qiufeng’s bottom line is very clear.
He can draw a pie in the sky, but he generally won't make a promise easily, because since it is a promise, he can't let the other party down.
"I guess I made the promise for Feng He, right?" Gu Qiufeng said.
The evil god was furious and asked, "Then why did you only take him away?"
He is the origin of the mountain god, inheriting the mountain god's divine power and the negative emotions of the fallen angel.
The appearance of Gu Qiufeng made the Fallen Angel instinctively want to struggle to catch this ray of sunlight.
The Fallen Angel still remembers the last time he encountered Gu Qiufeng's soul.
He hadn't encountered such a strange soul in many years.
Like most people, men's souls have impurities. But Gu Qiufeng's soul is transparent and clear, and the impurities and dirt inside can be seen.
Whether good or bad, it is as clear as a mirror, as bright as light, and open and honest.
The Fallen Angel fell because of human betrayal, but he still secretly had a little hope in his heart that the human believers he loved could come and redeem him.
Fenghe came into being in the cycle of goodwill and evil thoughts.
The fallen angel didn't understand why Gu Qiufeng had to cling to that tiny bit of kindness when he was clearly the complete origin.
He also wanted someone to treat him like this.
Gu Qiufeng shook his head, gently stroked the card in his hand, and said, "No. This would be unfair to Feng He."
The Fallen Angel looked at him for a long while before speaking in a dry voice: "Forget it."
He said, "Go away, and don't let me see you and this little piece of trash again."
＊
When Gu Qiufeng went down the mountain again, the wind and rain stopped and a few inches of sunlight came out. Gu Qiufeng then realized that if it wasn't for the rainy day, it would still be afternoon.
He walked around the abandoned station and took a few steps forward when he was suddenly grabbed by the collar.
"Captain Duan," the man holding Gu Qiufeng shouted, "There's a tourist who sneaked into the origin of Phoenix Village!"
