Zhong Kui's Diary
In front of me stood an extremely rebellious girl.
Her hair was styled in an explosive manner, dyed in various colors, resembling a burst of fireworks. Her eyelashes were fake, nearly two centimeters long, and she wore a palm-sized earring on her left ear. Her lips were coated with a striking shade of purple, and at that moment, her purple lips were moving up and down as if she were chewing gum.
However, even with all that, it couldn't hide her beautiful features. A thought suddenly popped into my mind: was this Dragon Girl disguised as a delinquent?
Honestly, I was quite surprised to see this girl.
I didn't expect a car to pass by General Mountain at this time. I also didn't expect the driver to stop when they saw someone waving for a ride. Even more surprising was that the driver turned out to be a girl. Wasn't she afraid that I would unleash my beastly nature and rob her?
At that moment, a pleasant voice came from the passenger seat: “Zheng Nan, what are you doing here?”
I was taken aback; wasn't that voice familiar? I leaned slightly forward and looked down, and sure enough, sitting there was Xiao Lin.
“Hey, how come you're here?” I asked in surprise.
“Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?” the rebellious girl said while chewing gum, looking at me with interest. “Aren't you planning to rob someone here?”
“Don't be ridiculous; this is my colleague,” Xiao Lin shot a glare at the rebellious girl and motioned for me to get in the car.
After getting in and chatting for a bit, I learned that the girl driving was Xiao Lin's sister, Xiao Jue. She was at an age where she was fearless and had made friends with a group of similarly wild girls. Recently, she had found true love online and ran off to Shacheng to meet her ‘true love,’ only to find out that he treated her to six dollars' worth of Spicy Hot Pot but ended up taking advantage of her thirteen times. She even had to pay for the hotel room herself. When he left, he swiped all of Xiao Jue's cash and even took her phone...
Fortunately, after checking out, there was still a deposit of several dozen dollars left, which allowed Xiao Jue to call Xiao Lin for help. The girl seemed to have a good mindset; upon seeing Xiao Lin, she didn’t complain but insisted on driving and wanted to take the road through General Mountain.
As for why I was there, I could only smile wryly. I saw a wild rabbit and went after it; when I came back, my car had been stolen.
“What happened to the rabbit?” Xiao Jue asked me while casually driving.
“Didn’t catch it…” I sighed. “What a waste; there are just too many bad people in this world.”
"You think too badly of people." I didn't expect Xiao Jue to respond like that.
I stared at her in disbelief, and after a while, I swallowed hard and asked Xiao Lin: "Ms. Xiao, your sister won't end up going crazy, will she?"
"You're the one who's crazy." Xiao Lin shot me a glare: "There's some truth to that; where do all these bad people come from in this world?"
"But your sister... didn't Xiao Jue just get scammed?" I pointed at Xiao Jue, feeling frustrated.
"Actually, a mad dog isn't necessarily a bad person." Xiao Jue laughed heartily: "I wasn't harmed; he just took some money. When he left, it was just a moment of desperation."
I was stunned for a while, confirming that I hadn't misheard. I couldn't help but sigh at the generational gap; communication between the two generations was completely impossible. Rubbing my scalp, I chuckled: "Is 'mad dog' his nickname? Quite unique."
"His surname is Gou, as in meticulous Gou, Gou Feng. If you read it backward, it becomes 'mad dog.' Haha, it's such a waste that this name doesn't match the nickname 'mad dog.'"
...
Back in Star City, it was already midnight. After parting ways with the Xiao Lin sisters, I didn't go home first but headed straight to the Sky Building.
I wanted to find Fortune God to clarify why the contact method he gave me was unreachable. Of course, that wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was to ask him if there were other ways to find Cursed God.
Upon reaching the top floor, I started punching and kicking at the Cooling Tower. After a while, Fortune God's voice finally drifted out: "Damn it, can't you just call if there's something wrong?"
"You scammer, that number is disconnected!" I snorted coldly.
"Impossible! We checked it twice; it was confirmed to be correct at that time." Fortune God immediately protested: "Uh, take a step forward and come in."
I followed his instructions and stepped forward. In an instant, I found myself in the space of Azure White Clouds. Below my feet were still fluffy white clouds, and a strong wind blew past, making my clothes flutter.
Fortune God suddenly appeared in front of me without warning, less than a foot away, which startled me: "Damn it, why are you standing so close?"
"Take out your phone and check the number," the Fortune God said without acknowledging my words.
I pulled out my phone, switched to the contacts, and pointed out the saved number to him.
"Ah, that's right," the Fortune God said, confused. "Why don't you try dialing it again?"
I followed his suggestion and pressed the call button, activating the speakerphone. Before long, a gentle female voice came through: "The number you have dialed does not exist. Please verify and dial again..."
I hung up the phone and glanced sideways at the Fortune God. "So, what now?"
The Fortune God stared at me in disbelief. "Why did you hang up?"
"Come on, it's a disconnected number. Why wouldn't I hang up?" I retorted angrily.
"What an idiot," the Fortune God shook his head in exasperation. He was particularly close to me now, so his expression was even more pronounced. "That's just a ringtone, a custom ringtone I specifically made. Understood?"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Damn it, what was the point of having such a ringtone?
The Fortune God seemed to understand my thoughts and chuckled. "What if a friend accidentally dialed this number? Although the chances are slim, it could happen, right? So, I customized this ringtone and set it up so that I would only automatically answer after it rings for half a minute."
After a moment of silence, I realized there was nothing wrong with what he did; he just hadn't told me about it.
I explained to the Fortune God about my failed attempts and the attack from the Cursed God on the mountain path: "As things stand now, it seems like the Cursed God has hidden away. Do you have any other ways to find him?"
The Fortune God thought for a moment and shook his head. "No way."
"Seriously? You call this high-tech? Pfft!" I didn't hold back my disdain.
"Hmph! If you're so capable, why don't you create a teleportation portal?" The Fortune God immediately became displeased at my words. "Even if I'm just slightly ahead of you all, that counts as high-tech."
"Portal?" Upon hearing Fortune God, I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't that Cursed God the one who used the portal to take my friend?"
"Of course, but our portal is fundamentally different from your Demon portals," Fortune God replied with a smile. "Your portals only transport space, while ours distorts time when it operates."
Images of Fatty and the others moving in slow motion before their disappearance flashed through my mind. After a long silence, I finally spoke hesitantly, "There really isn't any other way to find Cursed God?"
"No!" Fortune God said decisively.
Feeling that I had been too abrupt, Fortune God added, "You could try looking for your companions. They might have a way."
After a moment of silence, I smiled and said, "The last code we used has already been used once, so we need to change it. The previous line was 'Two Oriole Sing in the Green Willows', what should the next line be?"
Fortune God chuckled and replied, "Then let's go with 'A Banana Tree Comes Out of the Wall.'"
I nodded, took a step back, and left Fortune God's space.
If I couldn't find Cursed God, I would have to passively wait for him to come looking for me. This would put the initiative in Cursed God's hands, and he would be able to do as he pleased.
No, I had to find a way to locate Cursed God. In times like this, anticipating the enemy's moves is key.
However, there was no trace of Cursed God at Thunder Sound Temple, and I had no idea where he might appear. Right now, I was completely in the dark with no clues; how could I possibly find Cursed God? Damn it.
Oh right, didn't Lin Lin's phone call get answered by Cursed God? That meant Lin Lin was with Cursed God at that time. From her tone, it seemed she knew who was behind Director Zhang, and that person must have a significant connection to Cursed God, possibly even being Cursed God himself.
Could I follow this lead to find Cursed God? Although it was highly likely that Lin Lin had already been silenced by Cursed God, there was still Lin Fei. Even if Lin Fei didn't know anything, could it be that Director Zhang had also been silenced?
With this thought in mind, I immediately called Zeng Xian to ask about Lin Fei's situation.
"Lin Fei?" Zeng Xian seemed taken aback for a moment before responding with relief, "You mean that nurse of yours? We call her Fei Fei!”
Upon hearing Zeng Xian's words, four big characters immediately popped into my mind: Love Apartment. Damn, with Zeng Xian around, now there's also Fei Fei?
"She's pretty good, she's right next to me," Zeng Xian chuckled mischievously. "To thank me for saving her, she wants to treat me to dinner."
"Put her on the phone," I said hurriedly.
Zeng Xian responded with an "mm," and after a while, a female voice came through the phone, vaguely resembling Lin Fei's voice: "Hello?"
"Has your sister contacted you recently?" I asked directly.
"No, do you know anything about her?" Lin Fei's voice suddenly became much louder.
"I'm looking for her too!" As soon as I finished this sentence, I cursed myself inwardly; this would only make Lin Fei more anxious.
Sure enough, Lin Fei screamed from the other end: "My sister must have been kidnapped too! Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped calling me."
I could only comfort her for a bit and waited until she calmed down before asking, "When Fatty was in the hospital, didn't your sister help you go in and change his bandages? You remember that, right?"
"Yeah, I remember. Why?" Lin Fei's voice came through with a hint of suspicion.
