Zhong Kui's Diary
Fatty put the grenade back into the spatial bag, and the two of them stared at each other for a while. Fatty then smiled and said, "Since we have nothing to do, how about we have some tea and watch a movie to relax?"
"Watch a movie?" I asked in surprise.
"Yeah," Fatty replied with a grin. "Do you remember last time in Sun City? It was because we played an adult film that all those Golden Puppets malfunctioned. That projection equipment was our lifesaver; I've kept it with me all this time. In fact, I even got a diesel generator as backup because I thought the battery power wasn't enough."
I admired Fatty's carefree attitude, even at such a critical moment. He still had the interest to watch adult films. It seemed I should learn from his spirit. I smiled and asked, "What movies do you have?"
As Fatty took out the projector and other equipment, he laughed, "I have basically every well-known actor you’ve heard of. A while ago, I copied several hundred gigabytes of domestic videos from a friend. Oh, and there are some in the Star City dialect too! Haha, let’s watch this one; it should feel nostalgic to see people from our hometown in an adult film."
Amidst the laughter, Fatty took out a battery and was about to connect the wires when a spark of inspiration hit me. I quickly said to Fatty, "Fatty, I have an idea."
"What idea?" Fatty asked in surprise. "Are you suggesting that I turn up the volume to the max so that those three giants above will be driven wild with desire and can't help but take care of themselves?"
I laughed and scolded him, "Damn it, definitely not. You just mentioned you brought the diesel generator?"
"Yeah."
"We can run two power cords outside and electrocute them!"
"Right! Theoretically, that should work. We can tie the power cords to a can and throw it out together. If they hit the can with their greatsword, they'll get electrocuted." Fatty's eyes lit up immediately, but then he scratched his head and said, "But I don’t have power cords that long on me. Do you?"
Thinking carefully, it seemed I didn’t have any long power cords either. After pondering for a moment, I suggested, "We could connect the power supply wires from our devices; I wonder if that would be long enough."
The two of us immediately pulled out all the electrical devices we had on us. Aside from my phone charger, it seemed I didn’t have any devices with power supply wires. Fatty was better off; besides the DVD player and projector's power supply wires, he also had a charger and a power bank. However, all these power supply wires were only about a meter long. Adding in the two-meter power cord from the diesel generator still didn’t reach half the height of the cave entrance.
I thought about turning the dual-strand power supply wire into a single strand to double the distance, but Fatty raised concerns about whether that would burn out the power cord. Neither of us could be sure about that, so we reluctantly gave up on that idea.
Finally, I remembered Yun Zhihan's jade pendant and quickly searched inside. To my surprise, not only were there appliances like hair dryers, electric irons, and induction cookers with power supply cords, but there were also several power supply sockets, each three or five meters long. I was overjoyed and cut the wires of the power supply sockets to connect them all together, making a total length of about thirteen or fourteen meters, enough to reach above the trap.
Worried that Fatty might cause a short circuit during the throwing process, which could potentially burn out the entire Diesel Generator, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I climbed up to the cave entrance and waited for the right moment. I checked the shotgun I had inserted at the entrance; I wasn't sure how secure it was. I tied an iron claw to the front of the climbing rope and swung it with all my might. The claw immediately wrapped around the shotgun a few times. After pulling on it hard, it seemed secure enough.
I separated the two wires at the front end of the power cord into a V shape, wrapped them around my back, spat a bit of saliva into my palm, grabbed the rope, and carefully began to climb. When I reached near the cave entrance, I took out a dagger and dug two holes in the cave wall. I steadied myself by placing my feet in those holes before lowering the power cord down, instructing Fatty to wrap the back end of the power cord around the output ports of the Diesel Generator.
Making a K gesture, Fatty activated the Diesel Generator, and suddenly a roaring sound filled my ears. I bit down on the insulated part of the power supply wire with one hand holding onto the shotgun for balance while using my other hand to pull out a bottle of beer from the Mustard Seed Pendant and threw it towards the cave entrance.
With three whooshing sounds, three greatswords sliced towards that bottle of beer. At the moment it shattered, I pressed the V-shaped end of the power supply wire against one of the greatsword blades. Since these three swords were stacked together at that moment, this action effectively electrified all three giants simultaneously.
With a sizzling sound, a bolt of electricity raced along the blades of the three greatswords. Then I heard muffled groans from the three giants, followed by a loud bang as it seemed that the Diesel Generator tripped due to a short circuit, and its roaring sound abruptly stopped.
Damn! How could the Diesel Generator short circuit so quickly? Why was my character so unfortunate? Just when I thought our plan had failed, however, the three greatswords suddenly fell down from above, followed by all three giants tumbling down from the cave entrance.
"Heart!" I shouted loudly at Fatty at the bottom of the cave.
Although I was near the cave entrance, pressed against its wall, those three massive machetes and three giants fell right beside me. Looking over at Fatty, I found he had already hidden aside. With several clanging sounds, the greatswords hit the ground with a metallic clash, followed by three loud thuds as each giant landed at the bottom of the well.
Seeing that all three giants were still twitching on landing, Fatty wasted no time and lifted one of those enormous machetes to behead them. To my surprise, even without their heads, they continued to thrash about. Fatty's ferocity surged as he dragged one greatsword and sliced one giant into eight pieces; instantly, blood and flesh splattered across the well bottom.
I quickly leveraged myself out of the cave entrance, pulled out my shotgun, retrieved my climbing rope, and tossed it down into the well while shouting: "Stop cutting! Come up first!"
Fatty spat in response but quickly gathered his things. After thinking for a moment, he picked up all three greatswords and stored them in his spatial bag before climbing up. Once we were organized again, we threw several grenades into the trap below and ran away. With several loud explosions behind us, we turned back to see that the entire trap had collapsed, revealing a large hole in the ground.
"Let's go back and settle accounts with that beast!" I said as I pulled out my rocket launcher with gritted teeth.
"Of course!" Fatty replied fiercely while holding his submachine gun.
The two of them almost ran all the way to the town. Along the way, they discussed how to deal with the bald boss after capturing him in order to take revenge.
Torture! Inflict insane torment on him!
Torment! Unleash primal cruelty upon him!
**! Desperately ** him!
Desecrate! Completely ruin him!
Trample! Outrageously trample him!
……
In just a short distance, they came up with dozens of ways to make him wish for death, and their expressions changed from anger to excitement, as if they could already see the bald boss struggling and crying at their feet.
However, when they rushed into the town, the shop inside was completely empty. Not only that, but the entire town had turned into a ghost town; all the storefronts were wide open, yet there was not a single person inside. The grocery store's recorder was still playing a tune on the erhu, the television in the barbershop was still broadcasting a program, and even on a restaurant table, there were several plates of food left behind, with one bowl of three-flavor soup still slightly warm.
What is going on? From what they could see, it was clear that these people had left in a hurry. Did they know we were coming for revenge and fled? If that were the case, only the grocery store owner should have run away; what did it have to do with everyone else?
The two exchanged puzzled glances, seeing confusion reflected in each other's eyes. What on earth had happened?
After a series of wild guesses ranging from an outbreak of disease among the townsfolk to an alien invasion, they eventually found themselves doubting their own theories and gave up on the pointless speculation, turning instead toward the road leading to Black Wind Village.
Just as they walked a few steps, they heard heavy footsteps approaching. The sound suggested that some massive creature was slowly making its way toward them. Exchanging surprised looks with Fatty, they turned around and gasped in shock at the sight of a giant beast resembling a mountain, walking along the road.
This beast had sharp teeth and tusks, somewhat like a wild boar but with two extra wings protruding from its body. The wings were fleshy and featherless, hanging down at its sides; it was unclear whether it could fly. What surprised them even more was that atop this monstrous creature sat a tall, thin man dressed in white clothing and wearing a white headscarf, who was coldly staring at them.
"Hey!" I instinctively aimed the Rocket Launcher at the monster and shouted, "Who are you? If you don't stop, I'll shoot."
The Tall, Thin Man muttered something incomprehensible, and the giant beast stopped about twenty meters in front of us. He then shouted sternly, "You Han People, why have you come to disturb the Guk Tribe?"
Noticing his struggle with Mandarin, it seemed he rarely spoke it.
I shouted back, "We're just passing through."
"Passing through?" The Skinny Man snorted coldly. "Just now, I received a distress call from my tribesmen. I rushed here quickly, and you two are here while all my people are missing. Where have they gone?"
"Damn it, how would I know where they went? We just arrived," I retorted, still fuming from earlier and feeling quite displeased with the Skinny Man's shouting.
The Skinny Man immediately flew into a rage, shouting something in the Guk Tribe dialect. The giant beast beneath him let out a roar and charged at us. It seemed intent on trampling us to death.
Without hesitation, Fatty pulled the trigger. The sound of gunfire erupted as a series of bullet holes appeared in the monster's forehead; every bullet hit its head.
