Zhong Kui's Diary
“Huang Jianguo! So you are Jiang Chengguang!” I exclaimed loudly.
“That's right, I can tell you're excited. Later, I'll give you an autograph; after all, there are fewer and fewer people like me,” Huang Jianguo said with a smile.
“What exactly is going on?” I asked hoarsely.
“It can be summed up in one sentence: we both find Fortune God displeasing, so we devised a plan to get rid of him,” Huang Jianguo replied lightly.
“You find Fortune God displeasing? Isn't everything you have given to you by Fortune God? How can you dislike him?” I was extremely astonished; this was completely unexpected.
“Let me put it this way: do you know what a Puppet is?” Huang Jianguo snorted.
“What do you mean?” I asked in confusion.
“Fortune God thinks everything I have is given by him, so he always bossed me around. No matter what I do, he has to interfere... Do you know what that feels like? Even when I go to find a girl for Health Treatment, he has to point out, ‘Your posture is wrong; you need to change your position...’ What’s the point of living like this?” Huang Jianguo spat on the ground fiercely. “Yes, everything I have is because of him, but after living as a Puppet for several years, I would rather go back to the past. Although I had nothing then, at least I had freedom.”
This was the first time I heard such reasoning, and for a moment, I felt lost and didn't know what to say.
“At least there is still a Cursed God in this world who also finds him displeasing. Two years ago, I encountered Cursed God by chance, and we hit it off immediately, deciding to find an opportunity to kill Fortune God. That was when I started forming the Dragon Gang,” Huang Jianguo said with a hint of weariness at the corners of his mouth. “Why did I have to be so mysterious and not meet with my subordinates? It was all to keep Fortune God in the dark. Why do my subordinates have so many bearded men? It's because I can disguise myself as one of them at any time for role changes.”
“So that's how it is,” I sighed and then sternly said, “No matter what, Fortune God is the guardian of humanity; how can you harm him?”
“Some things can only be truly understood when they are inflicted upon you. For example, when your primal instincts take over and there is a woman in front of you, would you consider her contributions and let her go? In the face of the most basic physiological needs, all nobility becomes as illusory as bubbles. Similarly, I've reached my limit with Fortune God; I no longer care whether he is a god or a devil,” Huang Jianguo said with a sigh.
I remained silent for a while before asking, “So has Fortune God already been killed by you?”
"That's right, all thanks to you," Huang Jianguo chuckled.
"Thank me?"
"Yes, you know that the access cards for entering and exiting the Sky Building come in three colors. The purple and black cards can access levels 86, 87, and 88. For security reasons, as long as someone with a purple or black card opens the door, the Fortune God will be alerted," Huang Jianguo explained with a smile.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Didn't I give you three red cards? Those cards have been specially processed. As soon as you swipe one, the Fortune God will receive the information and know it's you—Zhong Zhengnan—coming to visit."
"So what? Besides, those three cards are still with me," I replied in surprise.
"In fact, there are four of these cards in total. I still have one here. This way, the Cursed God can transform into your appearance and use the red card to approach the Fortune God. The Fortune God won't be on guard against you; that's how the Cursed God can strike effectively," Huang Jianguo said proudly. "Seeing a red card, the Fortune God's first instinct is that you've come up. When he sees you in person, he will be even less suspicious. It's this simple inertia of thought that is most effective."
"I see now." I couldn't help but feel astonished by Huang Jianguo's careful planning.
"I kidnapped your friends on the rooftop to provoke your anger, and I intentionally heightened your killing intent. Only by doing this could I draw out a bit of your aura to deceive the Fortune God," the previously silent Cursed God said with a smile.
No wonder I had been so ruthless towards Li Hanxuan and the others; it turned out to be like this. I then asked in astonishment, "You act so recklessly under his nose; doesn't the Fortune God know?"
"This question is quite profound; you wouldn't understand it anyway. The bottom line is that he doesn't know. Hehe, there's one more thing I need to tell you: we cannot kill the Fortune God; all we can do is imprison him. You are the one who will kill him," the Cursed God said with a grin.
"What do you mean?" I had a bad feeling.
"Can't figure it out? The lightning strike you just used to kill was actually against the Fortune God and his Lucky Light. I merely bound the Fortune God," the Cursed God laughed triumphantly.
No wonder I had just picked up the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin; it turns out that what I shattered earlier was indeed the Fortune God. A strong sense of guilt surged within me, leaving me momentarily speechless.
I was stunned for a while before letting out a long sigh, "Now I finally understand what's going on. By the way, Lin Lin called with a single word, so she must be looking for the owner of Sky Building."
Upon hearing Lin Lin's name, Huang Jianguo's eyes flickered, and he nodded, a strange smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Alright, now that we know the truth, you two have no value to me anymore," I suddenly laughed.
"What do you mean?" Both Huang Jianguo and Cursed God asked in astonishment.
"It means nothing," I casually tossed the Speechless Stifling to the ground, stretched my limbs, and smiled.
"You weren't actually immobilized by Speechless Stifling?" Cursed God exclaimed loudly.
"Fool, I have a secret code with Fortune God. When I say 'Two Oriole Sing in the Green Willows,' he has to respond with the next line," I said, waving at Qingcheng and the others with pride.
Qingcheng and the others looked at me with incredible surprise, and Fatty was even more exaggerated, crying tears of joy.
"Impossible! Didn't I just get the second half of A Branch of Red Apricot Leaps Over the Wall right?" Cursed God shouted.
"Are you an idiot? A secret code can't be used twice. We've already changed it to 'A Banana Tree Comes Over the Wall.' You messed up your own code, so of course I knew you weren't Fortune God. Then you encouraged me to touch Speechless Stifling, so I took advantage of that," I laughed heartily. "Fortunately, I had been harmed by Speechless Stifling once before, so I had some experience pretending to be paralyzed."
"Aren't you a Grandmaster Level Spell expert? How come you weren't controlled by Speechless Stifling?" Cursed God shouted in disbelief.
"It's simple; I have insulated gloves," I raised my left hand and smiled. "Anlele Insulated Gloves—more effective, more comfortable, and more reassuring!"
The room fell into dead silence as everyone seemed at a loss due to this turn of events.
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, Cursed God burst into mad laughter.
"You can't really be insane, can you?" I was somewhat taken aback.
"Zhong Zhengnan, I just can't help but laugh, hahaha," the Cursed God continued to laugh maniacally.
"Insane, go die!" I snorted coldly and shouted, "Five Thunder Strikes!"
The expected thunder and lightning did not appear; instead, there was a dead silence.
"What’s going on?" I frowned and yelled.
"Hahahaha, what’s going on?" The Cursed God laughed for a long time before saying, "I was just messing with you. That piece of Speechless Stifling you dropped earlier? Did you leave it on the ground?"
I huffed, "Of course."
"Take a closer look; isn't that piece of Speechless Stifling you dropped missing a corner?" the Cursed God chuckled.
I suddenly realized something was wrong and looked down at the ground. Sure enough, that piece of Speechless Stifling was indeed missing a corner. I quickly raised my hand to check, and there was a shiny silver corner gleaming at the edge of my palm.
Just as I was about to ask what was happening, a wave of numbness washed over me. Suddenly, I couldn't move at all; before it had been an act, but this time I truly couldn't budge.
"Do you think I'm blind? Your gloves may be transparent, but they reflect light. The moment you made your move, I knew you were wearing gloves. So I slightly altered the structure of Speechless Stifling to let it penetrate your gloves and cause a slow onset. How does it feel? That sensation of having a duck fly away just as you were about to catch it must be quite unpleasant," the Cursed God laughed heartily. "Actually, if you just cast another lightning strike, you could kill me because I used up a lot of energy in my sneak attack on Fortune God and can't resist at all. Come on, strike me down! I dare you! Hahaha! Hey, why aren't you striking yet? Are you paralyzed? Hahaha! I love this feeling of reversal."
Everyone was stunned by this turn of events; only the Cursed God's maniacal laughter filled the arena.
Damn, this reversal happened too quickly. Is everything going to end in failure?
At that moment, Huang Jianguo suddenly laughed and said, "That's right; I also love this feeling of reversal."
Fortune God saw Huang Jianguo laughing heartily, and at that moment, Huang Jianguo suddenly made a move, taking the piece of Speechless Stifling from my hand and casually tossing it aside. "I believe Zhong Zhengnan also enjoys this feeling of reversal."
At this point, not only was Cursed God stunned. Almost everyone was taken aback. What did Huang Jianguo mean by this? Did he not realize that if I broke free from the paralysis, the first thing I would do is deal with them?
In the next moment, I reacted, not bothering to think about what was happening. I directly Summoned Thunderous Strike, and hundreds of lightning bolts shattered the stunned Cursed God into pieces.
Looking at the flying fragments, I pointed my Spell at Huang Jianguo: "What do you mean by this?"
Huang Jianguo gave a wry smile. "I just don't want to be controlled anymore. Whether it's Fortune God or Cursed God, I don't want to be under their control. Now it's good for everyone."
"On what basis do you think I will let you go?" I sneered, stepping forward to untie the three from Qingcheng. They stood behind me, coldly assessing Huang Jianguo.
"First of all, from a certain perspective, I'm also a victim," Huang Jianguo said with a slight smile.
"Go on." I did not deny his reasoning.
"Secondly, I haven't harmed anyone else," Huang Jianguo looked at me calmly.
"Really? What about Lin Lin? What about Director Zhang?" I scoffed.
"Lin Lin? She's just my assistant. Ha, if she hadn't called you or pretended to plan the kidnapping of Lin Fei, you wouldn't have connected these events with Sky Building so quickly. By the way, I forgot to tell you, she's been working as my personal secretary, the kind that gets a monthly salary," Huang Jianguo laughed.
"Damn, isn't that just a sugar baby? Sounds so nice," Fatty spat from the side.
"What about Director Zhang's suicide?" Since I heard that Lin Lin was alive, I had already decided to let Huang Jianguo go; this question was merely casual.
"They all committed suicide. What does it have to do with me?" A sly smile appeared on Huang Jianguo's face. "I only mentioned a few things about his corruption and exploiting female subordinates, and he jumped off a building to commit suicide."
"What about that will?" I snorted.
"Everyone knows that thing is a frame-up, so it won't affect you," Huang Jianguo said calmly as he looked at me.
I was speechless upon hearing this. Just as I was about to call Qingcheng and the others to leave, dozens of silvery lights suddenly shot out from the Cooling Tower, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"What is that?" Qingcheng asked, leaning against my chest in surprise.
"Those are the remnants of Lucky Light and Cursed Light," Huang Jianguo replied with a smile. "Don't worry, no one can control them anymore. From now on, until their power runs out, they will operate on their own program, affecting a person's luck."
"You mean? Luck is achieved through these things?" Fatty asked in astonishment.
"Exactly. This way, someone will be touched by one of them. It could be Lucky Light or Cursed Light. Hehe, fortune hides where misfortune lies, and misfortune leans on fortune; no one knows whether it's good or bad," Huang Jianguo sighed deeply.
...
The End of Luck.
