Zhong Kui's Diary
What does this have to do with me? Just as I was about to argue, I suddenly realized that Yazhi had used that pressure to force Liu An's avatar to appear. After seeing me, he released that pressure, which cannot be denied.
Thinking of this, I immediately calmed down and did not refute.
Yazhi looked at me in surprise: "Oh, after a while, you've become much more sensible. Forget it, I didn't catch him this time, and it might be difficult to catch him again. I don't have time to play hide and seek with his avatar. Also, the ‘Web of Fate’ I just cast caused some damage to it, so he definitely won't show up again. Well, you wouldn't understand anyway; I'm leaving."
"Bye-bye, wish you a safe journey!" I waved with a smile.
Yazhi turned around and took two steps before his figure gradually faded. Just as he was about to disappear completely, his voice came through: "Those few golden balls might help you in the future! Make sure not to sell them, haha."
"What do you mean?" I shouted.
Yazhi's figure completely vanished, leaving only the faint echo of his laughter in the air.
Golden balls? What could golden balls do for me? I hope the Chinese National Football Team makes it to the World Cup; can they help me with that?
Shaking my head, I turned to head down the mountain when a Splash sound came from the pond behind me, as if something was emerging from the water.
Damn, no way, it must be that Golden Blade sneaking out again to ambush me. I didn't expect shouting would bring Yazhi back; since the Golden Blade dared to appear so brazenly, it clearly meant that Yazhi had already left.
I quickly turned around, brandishing the dagger in my hand and shouting loudly: "Come on, let's settle this once and for all! I'll cut you down..."
Before I could finish my sentence, I fell silent because what stood before me was truly astonishing.
Two identical figures emerged from the pond; both were Jin Luoer. Yes, mine was the one who helped us book a room with Shoulder-Length Curly Hair.
Moreover, what is even more bizarre is that these two Jin Luoers are completely naked, their pure white bodies outlined by a golden edge in the rising sunlight, creating an incredibly vivid scene.
Even if I turned around to see two skeletons, I wouldn't be this surprised. But turning around to see Jin Luoer, and it's still the naked Jin Luoer, and there are two of them—why shouldn't I be shocked?
"What’s going on?" I shouted loudly.
"Boss Zhong, this Liu An's clone has been severely injured; you must kill her!" The Jin Luoer on the left hurriedly pointed at the Jin Luoer on the right.
"Boss Zhong, she is the clone of Liu An! Look at her complexion; she was just injured by Yazhi," the Jin Luoer on the right said anxiously, pointing at the left Jin Luoer, her movements highlighting her urgency.
This is truly a problem. However, after observing both of their complexions closely, it was evident that the left Jin Luoer looked quite pale.
"Boss Zhong, don't listen to her nonsense! I'm here to protect you; I've been battling her all along and was ambushed, which is why I ended up like this," the left Jin Luoer said urgently. "She is the one who wants to harm you; I came here to repay a debt of gratitude!"
Repay a debt of gratitude? I was suddenly confused; what on earth is going on?
"Don't believe her! I'm the one here to repay a debt of gratitude!" the right Jin Luoer shouted fiercely.
"I'm the one here to repay a debt of gratitude!"
"I am!"
...
"Shut up!" I felt overwhelmed; having one woman was like dealing with five hundred ducks, and now it felt like there were a thousand ducks quacking in front of me.
Both women remained silent, which surprised me. Huh? Since when did my words carry such weight?
In that case, I decided to ask them in turn. Pointing at the pale-faced Jin Luoer on the left, I said, "You, answer me one question first. What is this about your gratitude?"
"I am the ant that you let escape on the train!" the pale-faced Jin Luoer exclaimed loudly. "Our principle as ants is to repay even a drop of kindness with a fountain of gratitude!"
Ant? The image of Zhao Lei's glass jar with that giant ant, as shiny as black jade, flashed through my mind. I could still feel its anxiety at that time. I never expected that it had been an ant protecting us all along.
Damn, how could an ant transform into a human? If it had that ability, how could Zhao Lei have captured it?
"Then how were you caught by Zhao Lei?" I scanned her body again. Well, if she really was transformed from an ant, this ant had quite an understanding of aesthetics, making herself look like a willow.
"An accident!" The pale-faced Jin Luoer only managed to say two words, leaving me speechless. Fine, even if you were an accident.
After thinking for a moment, I turned to the Jin Luoer on the right and asked, "What about you? What gratitude do you need to repay?"
The Jin Luoer on the right looked aggrieved. "She has already explained it. If I repeat it, you'll think I'm trying to deceive you!"
"Can't you come up with another reason?"
"But that's just how it is! Why should I make up another reason?" The grievance on the right Jin Luoer's face deepened.
Damn, I should have separated them. With that thought in mind, I huffed softly and asked, "Then tell me, why did you choose this moment to show up?"
The right Jin Luoer immediately became agitated. "I have been following you all along. Earlier at Black Mountain Ancient Prison, Bixi's aura was too strong for me to approach you. Fortunately, Boss Zhong, you weren't afraid of Bixi's aura. I felt a bit guilty for not being able to help. When I learned you were coming to Shoushan, I came to settle down at Shoushan Hotel first. I didn't expect this Liu An's avatar..."
The pale-faced Jin Luoer suddenly shouted, "You are the clone of Liu An!"
I quickly raised my hand and said unhappily, "Don't interrupt her while she is speaking!"
The Jin Luoer on the right continued, "This clone of Liu An has been trying to harm you since you arrived at Shoushan Hotel. I have repeatedly thwarted her schemes, and she feels that I am a hindrance, wanting to eliminate me. I fell into her trap at the hotel front desk, but fortunately, you appeared in time, so I was not harmed. In the end, she lured me into an ancient tomb where I triggered her mechanism and was severely injured. Just now, when she attacked you, she was heavily injured by the ambushed Yazhi... So now we are both seriously injured and had to come out to confess to you."
"Wait, you both are seriously injured. What does that have to do with coming out to confess to me? Shouldn't you be hiding from me instead? You come here!" I pointed at the pale-faced Jin Luoer.
"It is precisely because we have been fighting each other that we understand each other's strength well. Neither of us can do anything to the other, and currently, both of us are seriously injured. If we just find any helper, we could eliminate each other. So when I came out to see you, she immediately transformed into my appearance to confuse you," the pale-faced Jin Luoer pointed angrily at the other Jin Luoer.
"You are the one trying to confuse!" Soon enough, the two Jin Luoers began arguing again.
As I was feeling overwhelmed, I suddenly thought of something and exclaimed loudly, "I know who the fake one is!"
This statement was more effective than anything else; both women looked at me nervously.
"One thing you can both be sure of is that this current form of yours is the embodiment of Ant, while that round-faced girl is the embodiment of Liu An, right? So the girl who registered my accommodation and took me up the mountain is indeed Ant, correct?" I looked back and forth at Jin Luoer and smiled.
Both women nodded simultaneously: "Yes!"
"Alright! I got it!" I grinned and pointed at the pale-faced Jin Luoer: "Come over here; I have a question for you."
The pale-faced Jin Luoer walked over to my side without fear. The two prominent curves on her chest caught my eye, and I quickly shook my head. Leaning close to her ear, I whispered, "What underwear was I wearing when you woke me up this morning?"
This Jin Luoer was taken aback for a moment but then smiled slightly as if about to answer. I quickly stopped her: "Go behind me and write it on my back!"
I was also afraid that someone else might overhear, so I came up with this idea. The pale-faced Jin Luoer smiled at me, walked behind me, and wrote the words 'Bald Qiang.' Then she made an inquiring sound. I laughed heartily and gestured for Jin Luoer to step back, while silently reciting Transforming Illusions into Reality. I was already ninety percent sure that the Jin Luoer on my right was a clone of Liu An.
When I called the Jin Luoer on my right over and asked the same question, this Jin Luoer clearly hesitated for a moment before uncertainly answering, "Red, I didn't see it clearly at the time!"
Without hesitation, I delivered a knee strike directly to this Jin Luoer's abdomen, sending her flying over two meters. Then, disregarding any sense of pity, I rushed forward and began to beat her mercilessly.
Damn, let you pretend!
Let you poison the stream!
Let you kill Brother Five!
Let you transform into Golden Blade to hunt us down!
Let you unleash Copper Door to try to crush us!
Let you cause Qingcheng's death!
...
Damn, I won't stop until your soul is shattered!
As Jin Luoer's hoarse cries filled the air, her body began to fade. With my last punch missing its target, Liu An's clone was finally beaten into oblivion.
Breathing heavily, I sat down to rest for a moment. Jin Luoer crouched down and said, "I'm very sorry about Xiao Qingcheng. At that time, I was in a fierce battle with Liu An's clone and couldn't warn you in time."
I glanced back and quickly turned my gaze away. "Alright, I appreciate your help, how could I blame you? Can you return to your original form? You make me feel so impulsive!"
Jin Luoer stood up and smiled. "No matter what, I've done my best to repay you. Now I need to go back and recuperate. Until we meet again!"
With that, Jin Luoer cupped her hands in a gesture of farewell and turned to leave. As she walked, her body began to shrink until she was about a foot tall. Suddenly, a cloud of black mist enveloped her, and when it dissipated, there was a huge black ant staggering along the ground.
I took out my phone and dialed the taxi driver's number, asking him to come pick me up at Shoushan Hotel. After hanging up, I stood up and stumbled down the mountain. I needed to hurry to Star City because Guo'er and Qingcheng were waiting for revival.
...
The story of the ancient tomb has come to an end.
Will Yang Guo'er and Xiao Qingcheng be revived?
How will I choose between the two?
The first chapter of the next volume, "Elevator," will provide answers.
For more excitement, I look forward to you turning the page...
