Zhong Kui's Diary
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this point. Why are you still acting so foolish? I kicked Fatty in the rear and shouted, "Damn it, stop joking around and wake them up!"
Fatty rubbed his backside, looking displeased. "Ghost Brother, I thought you were joking! I was sleeping soundly, and you woke me up with this nonsense about being poisoned and needing to take my shift. What a terrible excuse."
Still, Fatty walked over to Early Summer, squatted down, and pushed hard on Early Summer's chest. "Hey, wake up!"
Early Summer seemed to be in a deep sleep, showing no response. Fatty exclaimed in surprise and pushed again with more force, but there was still no reaction. Growing anxious, he grabbed Early Summer's hair and slapped her twice. With a groan, Early Summer slowly opened her eyes, looking at Fatty with a confused expression.
Next, I forcefully woke up Wen Zhan and Wen Qianqian. They both looked dazed, completely unaware of what had happened. I recounted the earlier events, but Early Summer laughed and said, "Ghost Brother, you must have seen things. There’s nothing green on our faces."
"If you don’t believe me, you can check with your phone..." I stopped mid-sentence because I noticed that the green color on their faces had vanished.
Damn it, I clearly saw green on your faces just now; how could it disappear so quickly?
Wen Qianqian checked the time and said with a smile, "It's not even two o'clock yet. Ghost Brother, you must not have slept well; that's why you're seeing things. Why don't you take a nap? Wen Zhan and I can cover for you for a bit."
Wen Zhan yawned widely. "Yeah, Ghost Brother, just sleep for a while. We'll wake you if we can't hold out any longer."
I shook my head in frustration and declined their suggestion, urging them to continue sleeping.
I added two more wooden planks to the fire to make it burn brighter. The group chatted aimlessly for a bit before they quickly fell asleep again. I pulled out some peanuts and beer, enjoying them while smoking and warming myself by the fire; time passed easily.
After finishing two bottles of beer, I suddenly felt the urge to urinate and got up to relieve myself nearby.
After taking a leak, I felt completely at ease as I returned to the campfire. Before I could sit down, I couldn't help but curse because I noticed a faint green hue on Fatty and the others' faces, and their breathing had become irregular, alternating between long and short.
Damn, they were clearly trying to mess with me. But even though I knew it was a game, I felt helpless. There was no way I could just shoot at Fatty's face, right?
Then I had an idea. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of everyone, preparing to wake up Fatty and the others. Suddenly, I felt something was off about the photos; it seemed like there was something on Fatty's face. Focusing closely, I saw that aside from the faint green tint, there was nothing unusual. Scratching my head in confusion, I thought maybe it was just my imagination. As I turned to wake Fatty, my gaze slid across the phone screen, and I vaguely saw a character.
Huh? I quickly turned my head back and adjusted the angle of my phone. Finally, from one angle, I discovered a green character on Fatty's face—"个."
"个?"
What did that mean?
Individual? Size? Entity? Person? Personality? Old?
What was this green color trying to tell me?
Right! If there was a character on Fatty's face, what about the others? If they had characters too, maybe together they would reveal what it wanted to convey.
I swiped through the screen to change the angles of the other three's photos. Sure enough, there was a character written on each of their faces: 'forcing,' 'you,' and 'stupid.'"Forcing you stupid?" I mumbled it twice, and then it hit me. Instantly, I cursed out loud, "Damn it, this is clearly saying—you're a dumb/ass!" I muttered it twice before snapping back to reality and immediately cursed out loud. Damn, this green clearly meant—"you idiot."
After cursing for a bit, I took out my phone and called Kong Xuan. It took a while for him to pick up: "What's up? Calling me in the middle of the night—constipated? If you're constipated, you should eat more bananas."
Not wanting to waste time chatting with him, I directly asked about the situation, "Has Fatty been possessed by something?"
Kong Xuan gasped sharply, "You know what? They really do look like they’ve been possessed."
"No way, how is that possible? Aren't all the Cultivators and Demons in this world supposed to have lost their powers?" I cursed angrily, "Damn it, King Covers the Earth Tiger, Chicken Stew with Mushrooms, this is not how things are supposed to go."
"How is it not how things are supposed to go? You went to General Township this time to look for the Dark Overlord, right? Although I don’t know how strong that big demon's powers are, I think a basic Spell like possession should be no problem for it," Kong Xuan replied.
"Are you saying it's the Dark Overlord causing this? If that's the case, is there any way to get these ghostly things out?" I hurriedly asked.
"There are plenty of ways, but you don’t have any power right now, so telling you won’t help," Kong Xuan said with a click of his tongue. "Why don't you call Qingcheng or someone from the Song Family and ask if they have a solution?"
After hanging up, I was about to call Qingcheng, but then I noticed that Fatty had woken up at some point and was sitting by the fire, staring blankly at me.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that the greenish hue on his face was still there. I quickly shouted, "Fatty, didn't you say you didn't believe it? Hurry up and take a selfie with your phone."
Fatty slowly stood up and said somewhat dazedly, "Is that so?"
"Come on, do you think I would lie to you?" I retorted angrily. "If not, come over here and look at the photos; I just took pictures of all of you."
Fatty responded with an "oh" and walked over to me. Just as I was switching to my photo album on my phone, I heard Fatty's breathing become irregular—long and short, short and long—still that strange rhythm.
Feeling something was off, I turned around to ask him but found that the green on Fatty's face had intensified. His mouth opened wide, revealing sharp teeth as he lunged toward my neck.
I pushed him away with all my strength, causing Fatty to stumble back two steps. I shouted loudly, "Fatty, have you lost your mind?"
At this moment, Fatty's face had turned a deep green, and his eyes were flashing with a Green Light. Moreover, the gaze he shot out was filled with hatred and anger. This kind of look was very familiar to me; I suddenly recalled that Damn, the Four Great Limbs modified by Yang Guo had exactly this kind of gaze.
What was going on?
Could it be that Fatty was being controlled by that Green Chip? That couldn't be possible. Only Yang Guo could control the Four Great Limbs in the entire world, but he had already been shot in the head by Wen Qianqian. How could he still manipulate the chip?
Right, I forgot about that right hand. When we rushed out of the Cellar, we didn't notice that right hand at all. It must be that right hand causing trouble. Didn't Yang Guo say they had already gained self-awareness? Could it be that it knew its end was near and transferred all its power to Fatty? Although it sounded absurd, it wasn't impossible. Yes, it must be like that.
Just as I reached this conclusion, I realized it seemed a bit far-fetched because at that moment, I saw Wen Zhan, Wen Qianqian, and Early Summer all standing up, their faces also showing a strong green hue, their eyes filled with resentment and malice.
Damn, what was going on? That right hand only had one chip; how could it possibly make four people look like this at the same time?
Thoughts raced through my mind as I reached into the Mustard Seed Pendant and pulled out the condom Fatty had given me. I took a glance inside and found that the three Green Chips were still there. It seemed these chips weren't the cause.
I put the chips back and pulled out my Shotgun, raising it but then letting it drop again. Damn, these four were my comrades who had fought alongside me; how could I possibly shoot at them?
However, Wen Zhan and the others didn't think so. They were glaring at me with exceptionally fierce looks, as if I were their sworn enemy. Yet they didn't immediately attack; their muscles were tense, ready to pounce at any moment, seemingly waiting for someone to give orders.
I instinctively looked around; although there was some moonlight, I still couldn't see anything.
While I was scanning the area, a voice came from the bushes to my left: "Hey, are you looking for me?"
"Who? Who are you?" I quickly raised my Shotgun and aimed in the direction of the voice.
"Tap, tap..." A series of knocking sounds came from within the bushes, as if someone was striking a wooden stick against a Trunk, and surprisingly, the rhythm of those knocks resembled a drumbeat.
What does he mean by this?
"Knock, knock, knock, knock..." The knocking sound gradually became urgent, then a rap-style singing voice emerged:
People originally lived by the mountains of General Township,
With houses and fields, life was carefree.
Who would have thought you beasts, so ruthless and merciless,
Holding guns without regard, destroying my big house and taking Gold Brick.
My grandfather confronted you, only to be beaten down with a stick,
My grandmother scolded you for bullying the good people, only to be dragged into the house,
Raped a hundred times, a hundred times!
...
With a bang, I fired a shot into the bushes.
Damn, is Stephen Chow's classic line something you can change too?
However, it seemed that my shot had no effect on the voice; it continued singing as if nothing had happened, until it finished the last line 'Remember this grudge and never share the same sky.' After that, there was a loud crash as a tree as thick as a bowl was suddenly snapped in half, seemingly broken by this person with sheer force.
Then, a tall figure emerged from the bushes.
Without a second thought, I fired a shot at the shadow.
To my surprise, the shadow deftly dodged the bullet and said with a sinister laugh, "It's really not good to shoot without saying hello. Luckily, I moved quickly. Don't do that next time, okay?"
"Fine!" I gritted my teeth and fired several shots at the shadow, emptying all the bullets from my shotgun.
"I dodge! I dodge!" came the mocking voice from across. In the blink of an eye, it managed to evade all those bullets.
Damn, if it can dodge bullets, this guy's speed has completely surpassed human limits.
Could it be the Dark Overlord?
