Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

ssantly, “I only need one more and I can change my fate!”

“I’ve got it, you guys are afraid I’ll change my destiny and become rich! Ah…!”

It wasn’t cold, but when everyone heard what the man said, they shivered. 

At that moment, a six year-old child came out of the crowd.
The kid looked at the deranged man blankly before rushing over and kneeling on the ground.
“What are you doing?! Why are you arresting my baba?!”

Everyone looked at the small child and couldn’t say a word.
If they hadn’t seen the pamphlet today… This child would be…gone.

 

When they brought the man back to the police station, everyone’s hearts were weighed down with an unspeakable depression.

Gu Xizhou left Si Yu in the hall, taking a deep breath before he entered the interrogation room.
When he looked at the man, he couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
The man’s maliciousness made people feel sick, and his stupidity made him feel even more nauseated. 

Cruel and Stupid.

After judging the man silently in his heart, Gu Xizhou sat down at the table.
Next to him, Lao Guo opened the note taking app on his computer.
Gu Xizhou asked perfunctorily just like he did everytime, “What’s your name?”

“Liu Cai.”

“How old are you this year?” 

“Forty Eight.”

When Gu Xizhou heard what he said, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
When he saw the man he only thought that he was old, but looking at the age of his kids, apparently forty wasn’t too late to start…

“Why commit murder?”

“To change my fate, ah!” the man named Liu Cai said as if it were natural. 

“Is this all a game to you? Are you…” Gu Xizhou refrained from asking if there was a problem with his brain when he caught sight of the monitor.

“Who was your first kill?”

“My wife.”

“How did you kill her?” 

“She’s not very smart.
I swindled her from another family in the village.
After leaving we came here.
After hearing the lecture I hesitated for a day, then I decided to kill them.
When I got rich, I would buy them a good grave.
The next day I asked her to go out with me.
We went to the river and I stabbed her in the neck with a knife.

“She squeaked twice and then didn’t call out anymore.”

As it turned out, the deceased, Wang Jinrong, was not actually Liu Cai’s wife.
She was Liu Cai’s neighbor’s wife.
Liu Cai tricked her away because of her bad brain.
After that Wang Jinrong gave birth to two children for Liu Cai, so it was impossible for him to take her back to his hometown!

Lao Guo stopped typing before he steeled himself to continue taking notes. 

Gu Xizhou felt a little unwell and said, “And your little boy?”

“My little boy, ah… Killing him was actually really hard, but when I thought about changing my fate, I still killed him.
The day after I killed Wang Jinrong, my little boy kept crying and trying to find his mama.
I thought that since I’d already killed one of them, I couldn’t stop halfway.
At once I set about finishing the task.
Originally I wanted to kill my eldest son first, but he left for school really early that day.”

 

Gu Xizhou: “…Why did you choose to dump the body so far away?”

With an expression of complete indifference, Liu Cai said, “God said that the first one should die in a river, the second southwest of my home… and that the third should die at home and this would change my luck. 

Wang Ao was standing outside listening to the monitor with everyone else.
He felt cold all over and said, “Where is this pamphlet? We have to settle this matter.
We have to arrest these people! They really are bastards spreading stuff like this!”

The officer next to him said quickly, “We brought back one of the pamphlets.
We’re already checking the number on it!”

The veins on Wang Ao’s forehead bulged and he lowered his voice, “Good, be as fast as possible! We have to arrest these guys! I’ll go back to my office and call now!”

Xiang Yuan also worked overtime to run a DNA test, confirming that the man was definitely the child’s father.
He tested the residual blood on the knife, the evidence and the confession all matched.
Gu Xizhou didn’t even want to look at Liu Cai who had been brainwashed. 

Liu Cai’s eldest son was still sitting in the hallway holding the ice cream some of the other officers bought for him.
Seeing Gu Xizhou come out with the others he leaped out of his chair and asked, “Uncle, when can me and my dad go home, ah?”

For a long time Gu Xizhou didn’t speak, not knowing how to answer.
Finally one of the female officers pulled him to the side and said, “Little friend, you must be hungry, ba.
Jiejie will take you out to eat!”

Several female officers lead the child away.
The others turned to look back at the interrogation room and immediately felt sick.

Gu Xizhou said in a low voice, “Have Liu Cai lead us to the river where he dumped Wang Jinrong’s body.” 

“Okay!”

It was getting dark, so the residents along the river also helped Gu Xizhou and the others look for the body.

“Found it! Found it” In the midst of the shouts, Gu Xizhou saw Wang Jinrong’s corpse, already pale and swollen.
Part of the body was missing, clearly her body had been partially eaten by the fish and shrimp in the river.

“Alright, let’s take the body back, ba.” Before he left, Gu Xizhou gave Liu Cai a long look, his expression was apathetic and indifferent, and he was filled with an inexplicable feeling of disgust. 

Exhausted, Gu Xizhou left the crowd to immediately catch sight of Si Yu leaning against the door of the car.
Si Yu waved at him and said, “You solved the case, you still aren’t happy?”

Gu Xizhou shook his head, “That Liu Cai is so cruel and stupid, he really believes in that kind of stuff! One word and I know it’s nonsense…”

“En,” Si Yu’s lower lip curled as he said to Gu Xizhou, “There are some people who won’t wake up if you call them.
No matter how many times you try to persuade him, he will only regard your words as nonsense, whether its stupid or not doesn’t matter.”

“Okay, how about getting an early dinner?” 

Gu Xizhou shook his head and said, “Not hungry, I’m not ready to eat.”

“Then I’ll take you home?”

 

“Okay.”

“Get in,” Si Yu said lightly, lips curling slightly. 

Gu Xizhou didn’t want to be polite to Si Yu either.
He’d already been driving him around the whole day, what was one more trip? Gu Xizhou just got in the passenger seat.

After Si Yu started the car, Gu Xizhou suddenly said, “Good thing you discovered that pamphlet, otherwise that kid would be in danger.”

Si Yu said mildly, “My luck has always been good.
You can see with me around, the case was solved in a day.”

“Pei…” Gu Xizhou spat, “I don’t believe this is luck.
I bet you have a prop like Li Yan’s PHS, right? You can see the future and that sort of thing…” 

“I have a prop, but it can’t predict the future,” Si Yu said casually as he drove.

Gu Xizhou was stunned, turning to look at Si Yu inquisitively.
He hadn’t asked Si Yu about this in depth before.
“You really do? What is it?”

“A die,” Si Yu replied.

Gu Xizhou’s eyes widened.
Looking at Si Yu, his tone changed slightly, “En? A die?” 

“I took out the die left on the table in the gambling world,” Si Yu explained, pulling over and stopping.
He took out a transparent box from his bag.
Inside the box there really was a die.
“This.”

Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes, glancing at the die in Si Yu’s hands and said suspiciously, “This die doesn’t seem like it’s made out of plastic? Also it’s a lot smaller than the ones on the gambling table.”

Si Yu shrugged with an expression of ‘I also don’t know how it turned into this’ before tipping the die into Gu Xizhou’s hand.
“For you.”

“For me? You want me to keep it,” Gu Xizhou said faintly. 

Si Yu: “On this die, numbers 1-3 represent bad luck, 4-6 represents good luck.
The higher the number, the better your luck will be.
The numbers I throw are random.
If you threw a one, wouldn’t you die faster?”

“You always throw a six, so it’s just right for you.”

It really was fitting… Gu Xizhou bowed his head to look at the die in his hand.
He shook it and the number he rolled really was a six.
Gu Xizhou hesitated before nodding, “Alright then.”

Gu Xizhou rolled the die all the way home, and it was always a six. 

“Why don’t you try?” Gu Xizhou asked, “You’re the one who brought it out afterall…”

Si Yu was so angry he could laugh, “What if I suddenly roll a one and have an accident, what would you do then? You’re not afraid of getting into a car crash?”

 

Gu Xizhou held the die in the palm of his hand.
This thing really… in the event that it really could work in reality, it would certainly be troublesome, it was best not to touch it.

The car pulled up at the apartment.
After Gu Xizhou and Si Yu exchanged a few words, Gu Xizhou got up to leave.
Si Yu approached Gu Xizhou and hugged him. 

Gu Xizhou looked up at the 7th floor guiltily before pushing Si Yu away saying in a low voice, “Let go quickly, I’m going upstairs.”

“Okay, ba.”

After Gu Xizhou went upstairs, Si Yu who was standing next to his luxury car downstairs raised his head to glance up at Gu Xizhou’s balcony, the corner of his mouth curling.

Standing on the balcony, Gu Ji Ji stiffened, eyes wavering, his hand tightening on the banister.
This was the third time he and Si Yu had made eye contact! 

He was certain this guy could see him!

And that parting embrace just now… it couldn’t be to provoke him could it?

The author has something to say: Then the next question is: This die is—?
