Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Chapter 138: Cruel and Stupid

Edited by Crooked

Do you think Im gonna believe that? Gu Xizhou said as he paced, not forgetting to sneer, Do you think Im stupid?

Si Yu shook his head, displaying his palms in front of him helplessly, I really took it at random.

After calling his colleagues, he went to the building that Si Yu had pointed out. The downstairs was full of empty bottles. As for Si Yus leaflet, there was only one bundle placed in the innermost part. At that moment, a middle-aged woman with a big belly walked out with a bunch of papers. From a distance Gu Xizhou could see the leaflet on the top of the stack of waste paper.

Gu Xizhou flashed his badge and said, Excuse me Da Jie, but can you tell me where those pamphlets came from?

The middle aged woman saw that it was the police and immediately put down the stack of papers in her hands. These pamphlets? Oh, I picked them up on the road!

When the woman finished speaking, two people dressed in factory clothes came over to see why the police were back, watching Gu Xizhou and the others anxiously.

Gu Xizhou glanced at the pamphlets which said: Do you want to change your fate? Whether or not lifes suffering is already too much to bear, fate can

There was nothing special in the leaflet. The gist of the pamphlet was that if you became a part of the organization that you could change your fate, that sort of thing. The black and white pamphlet was very crude and simple, making people feel uneasy, like they werent holding a black and white leaflet but a black and white memorial photo.

There were also lots of people coming and going. The construction workers had already taken off their muddy clothes after coming home, putting on their slippers and gathering around them with curiosity. Some had rice bowls in their hands and stood next to them while eating.

After questioning them thoroughly, they learned from the woman where the pamphlets had been distributed. A good citizen also raised their hand and said, I know about that! It should be about three days ago that someone came to give a lecture! They spoke by the roadside. I was passing by at the time and listened in!

Can you summarize what it was about? Gu Xizhou asked in a low voice, eyebrows arching into mountains. He felt subconsciously that this clue was very important!

The good citizen took a moment to remember it before saying, I remember it was a lot of straight up nonsense on how to change your fate. One of the ways was to donate money to the organization and you would be blessed. I said: Isnt this just cheating people of their money?

Gu Xizhou asked him again, You said that was one way, so what are the others?

The man looked a Gu Xizhou before continuing, The other way is even more stupid. I called it out for being stupid as soon as I heard it. The workers who were with me also called it straight up stupidity.

What was said? Gu Xizhou asked.

En. I remember clearly saying that there was another way to change your fate. That if you killed a close relative everyday for three consecutive days, then their luck will be transferred to you and that in this way you could change your fate etcetera, etcetera, ba. Who would believe such nonsense, ah? Who would believe it in this fucking age?

The man swore while talking, speaking like it was a joke, but the hearts of all the criminal police men instantly sunk to their lowest point.

Maybe theyd discovered the reason why no one had reported anyone missing.

Gu Xizhou suddenly remembered the thin man from just now. He had said that his wife and son had just returned to their hometown! He also remembered that inside of the mans room was a lot of discarded cardboard. Obviously he would collect trash and bring it home, but Gu Xizhou hadnt seen any pamphlets!

He cursed silently before turning to the other officers and saying, Lets go, follow me!

Team Leader Gu, whats wrong?

Several people looked doubtful as Gu Xizhou hurried up to the door of the small mans house.

Dong dong dong!

Dong, dong, dong!

Whos there, ah? A slightly sharp voice came from inside, What do you want?

Hello, please open the door, Gu Xizhou replied.

Eh. When the thin man opened the door and saw Gu Xizhou and all the police officers crowded around his door his forehead broke out in a sweat. Officer Comrade, What are you doing back here? My familys kid hasnt gone missing.

Gu Xizhou glanced at him and said, Please call your wife to confirm, ba.

Confirm? Thats not necessary! The thin mans attitude suddenly became hard. Im going to pick my son up from school so I wont tell you.

Gu Xizhou blocked him and said, Still, you should call, ba. You can use my phone.

Were sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so were going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

With an impatient look on his face, the man pushed Gu Xizhou and swore, Youre sick, ba. How is it any of your business whether or not I call my wife, ah?

The man gave them a string of numbers, cursing as he said, Theres something wrong with you cops. Really! Youre so strange, what are you even trying to do?

Gu Xizhou interrupted him and said, I just want to confirm the safety of your child dont be offended.

The thin mans lips curled as he walked back into the house, Hold on, Im gonna go grab something

The phone number looked like a landline number, and Gu Xizhou didnt think too much of it. When he dialed the number the busy tone sounded from the other end. After waiting a little while, no one answered, and he hung up. Gu Xizhou was about to ask the man when a loud sound suddenly came from inside the house.

Kuang Dang

A loud noise rang out as something heavy dropped to the ground. Several of the officers walked to the side of the third floor staircase and jumped onto the roof of the first floor building next to them. They walked around the back of the building and saw the panic-stricken man lying on the ground. The man had stepped on a loose brick on the second floor and fallen to the ground. His whole body was wracked with pain.

Gu Xizhou handcuffed him without saying a word.

Kacha!

The thin mans hands were twisted behind his back as he scolded, Fuck your mother! Why are you arresting Laozi? Laozi didnt break the law!

Gu Xizhou said, If you didnt break the law, why did you jump out of the window?

You stopped me! I have to go pick my son up from school! the man explained begrudgingly.

Gu Xizhou pressed him down, raising an eyebrow, Why did you need to climb over the wall then? En? I said Id let you go as soon as I made the call.

I- I was in a hurry to pick up my kid!

Gu Xizhou didnt feel like talking nonsense with him and said, Okay, you want to pick up your child. Ill let my subordinates go with you and then youre gonna tell me the phone number!

The man cursed him out, Youre fucking sick, ah! If Laozi doesnt hit you, what can you do to me?

Gu Xizhou interrupted the man, unable to stand his language, I really cant do anything to you. I can only examine your DNA to determine your relation to that child.

You bullshitting motherfucker. Youre still relying on me for that dead child? The mans appearance was ferocious, his eyes scarlet red!

How did you know that the child was dead? From the beginning we never said that the child was dead, we only said that we had found a child that might live nearby, Gu Xizhou asked.

Eh The mans body suddenly went rigid, and he had nothing to say in explanation.

At the same time, the several officers who had stayed upstairs came from the house happily, saying, Team Leader Gu, we found black plastic bags and face masks!

Ah, Gu Xizhou smiled coldly and turned to the man, Do you still want to say something?

Its normal to keep plastic bags in the house for trash, ah and Ningqing is covered with smog, why would it be weird for me to have a mask? The man asked in fury.

Gu Xizhou was about to speak when he heard the sound of metal clattering to the ground.

A knife fell from the pocket of the mans pants. When the man saw the knife he was stunned before abruptly becoming excited.

Mind your own fucking buisness, ah! So what if I killed my son, why do you care, ah? I gave him his life, Ill take it back if I want! Whyd you arrest me, you motherfucker! The mans face was filled with rage and he kicked his feet incessantly, I only need one more and I can change my fate!

Ive got it, you guys are afraid Ill change my destiny and become rich! Ah!

It wasnt cold, but when everyone heard what the man said, they shivered.

At that moment, a six year-old child came out of the crowd. The kid looked at the deranged man blankly before rushing over and kneeling on the ground. What are you doing?! Why are you arresting my baba?!

Everyone looked at the small child and couldnt say a word. If they hadnt seen the pamphlet today This child would begone.

When they brought the man back to the police station, everyones hearts were weighed down with an unspeakable depression.

Gu Xizhou left Si Yu in the hall, taking a deep breath before he entered the interrogation room. When he looked at the man, he couldnt help but feel disgusted. The mans maliciousness made people feel sick, and his stupidity made him feel even more nauseated.

Cruel and Stupid.

After judging the man silently in his heart, Gu Xizhou sat down at the table. Next to him, Lao Guo opened the note taking app on his computer. Gu Xizhou asked perfunctorily just like he did everytime, Whats your name?

Liu Cai.

How old are you this year?

Forty Eight.

When Gu Xizhou heard what he said, he raised his eyebrows slightly. When he saw the man he only thought that he was old, but looking at the age of his kids, apparently forty wasnt too late to start

Why commit murder?

To change my fate, ah! the man named Liu Cai said as if it were natural.

Is this all a game to you? Are you Gu Xizhou refrained from asking if there was a problem with his brain when he caught sight of the monitor.

Who was your first kill?

My wife.

How did you kill her?

Shes not very smart. I swindled her from another family in the village. After leaving we came here. After hearing the lecture I hesitated for a day, then I decided to kill them. When I got rich, I would buy them a good grave. The next day I asked her to go out with me. We went to the river and I stabbed her in the neck with a knife.

She squeaked twice and then didnt call out anymore.

As it turned out, the deceased, Wang Jinrong, was not actually Liu Cais wife. She was Liu Cais neighbors wife. Liu Cai tricked her away because of her bad brain. After that Wang Jinrong gave birth to two children for Liu Cai, so it was impossible for him to take her back to his hometown!

Lao Guo stopped typing before he steeled himself to continue taking notes.

Gu Xizhou felt a little unwell and said, And your little boy?

My little boy, ah Killing him was actually really hard, but when I thought about changing my fate, I still killed him. The day after I killed Wang Jinrong, my little boy kept crying and trying to find his mama. I thought that since Id already killed one of them, I couldnt stop halfway. At once I set about finishing the task. Originally I wanted to kill my eldest son first, but he left for school really early that day.

Gu Xizhou: Why did you choose to dump the body so far away?

With an expression of complete indifference, Liu Cai said, God said that the first one should die in a river, the second southwest of my home and that the third should die at home and this would change my luck.

Wang Ao was standing outside listening to the monitor with everyone else. He felt cold all over and said, Where is this pamphlet? We have to settle this matter. We have to arrest these people! They really are bastards spreading stuff like this!

The officer next to him said quickly, We brought back one of the pamphlets. Were already checking the number on it!

The veins on Wang Aos forehead bulged and he lowered his voice, Good, be as fast as possible! We have to arrest these guys! Ill go back to my office and call now!

Xiang Yuan also worked overtime to run a DNA test, confirming that the man was definitely the childs father. He tested the residual blood on the knife, the evidence and the confession all matched. Gu Xizhou didnt even want to look at Liu Cai who had been brainwashed.

Liu Cais eldest son was still sitting in the hallway holding the ice cream some of the other officers bought for him. Seeing Gu Xizhou come out with the others he leaped out of his chair and asked, Uncle, when can me and my dad go home, ah?

For a long time Gu Xizhou didnt speak, not knowing how to answer. Finally one of the female officers pulled him to the side and said, Little friend, you must be hungry, ba. Jiejie will take you out to eat!

Several female officers lead the child away. The others turned to look back at the interrogation room and immediately felt sick.

Gu Xizhou said in a low voice, Have Liu Cai lead us to the river where he dumped Wang Jinrongs body.

Okay!

It was getting dark, so the residents along the river also helped Gu Xizhou and the others look for the body.

Found it! Found it In the midst of the shouts, Gu Xizhou saw Wang Jinrongs corpse, already pale and swollen. Part of the body was missing, clearly her body had been partially eaten by the fish and shrimp in the river.

Alright, lets take the body back, ba. Before he left, Gu Xizhou gave Liu Cai a long look, his expression was apathetic and indifferent, and he was filled with an inexplicable feeling of disgust.

Exhausted, Gu Xizhou left the crowd to immediately catch sight of Si Yu leaning against the door of the car. Si Yu waved at him and said, You solved the case, you still arent happy?

Gu Xizhou shook his head, That Liu Cai is so cruel and stupid, he really believes in that kind of stuff! One word and I know its nonsense

En, Si Yus lower lip curled as he said to Gu Xizhou, There are some people who wont wake up if you call them. No matter how many times you try to persuade him, he will only regard your words as nonsense, whether its stupid or not doesnt matter.

Okay, how about getting an early dinner?

Gu Xizhou shook his head and said, Not hungry, Im not ready to eat.

Then Ill take you home?

Okay.

Get in, Si Yu said lightly, lips curling slightly.

Gu Xizhou didnt want to be polite to Si Yu either. Hed already been driving him around the whole day, what was one more trip? Gu Xizhou just got in the passenger seat.

After Si Yu started the car, Gu Xizhou suddenly said, Good thing you discovered that pamphlet, otherwise that kid would be in danger.

Si Yu said mildly, My luck has always been good. You can see with me around, the case was solved in a day.

Pei Gu Xizhou spat, I dont believe this is luck. I bet you have a prop like Li Yans PHS, right? You can see the future and that sort of thing

I have a prop, but it cant predict the future, Si Yu said casually as he drove.

Gu Xizhou was stunned, turning to look at Si Yu inquisitively. He hadnt asked Si Yu about this in depth before. You really do? What is it?

A die, Si Yu replied.

Gu Xizhous eyes widened. Looking at Si Yu, his tone changed slightly, En? A die?

I took out the die left on the table in the gambling world, Si Yu explained, pulling over and stopping. He took out a transparent box from his bag. Inside the box there really was a die. This.

Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes, glancing at the die in Si Yus hands and said suspiciously, This die doesnt seem like its made out of plastic? Also its a lot smaller than the ones on the gambling table.

Si Yu shrugged with an expression of I also dont know how it turned into this before tipping the die into Gu Xizhous hand. For you.

For me? You want me to keep it, Gu Xizhou said faintly.

Si Yu: On this die, numbers 1-3 represent bad luck, 4-6 represents good luck. The higher the number, the better your luck will be. The numbers I throw are random. If you threw a one, wouldnt you die faster?

You always throw a six, so its just right for you.

It really was fitting Gu Xizhou bowed his head to look at the die in his hand. He shook it and the number he rolled really was a six. Gu Xizhou hesitated before nodding, Alright then.

Gu Xizhou rolled the die all the way home, and it was always a six.

Why dont you try? Gu Xizhou asked, Youre the one who brought it out afterall

Si Yu was so angry he could laugh, What if I suddenly roll a one and have an accident, what would you do then? Youre not afraid of getting into a car crash?

Gu Xizhou held the die in the palm of his hand. This thing really in the event that it really could work in reality, it would certainly be troublesome, it was best not to touch it.

The car pulled up at the apartment. After Gu Xizhou and Si Yu exchanged a few words, Gu Xizhou got up to leave. Si Yu approached Gu Xizhou and hugged him.

Gu Xizhou looked up at the 7th floor guiltily before pushing Si Yu away saying in a low voice, Let go quickly, Im going upstairs.

Okay, ba.

After Gu Xizhou went upstairs, Si Yu who was standing next to his luxury car downstairs raised his head to glance up at Gu Xizhous balcony, the corner of his mouth curling.

Standing on the balcony, Gu Ji Ji stiffened, eyes wavering, his hand tightening on the banister. This was the third time he and Si Yu had made eye contact!

He was certain this guy could see him!

And that parting embrace just now it couldnt be to provoke him could it?

The author has something to say: Then the next question is: This die is?
