Chapter 80 Are we in heaven?
The White Bone Demon was a little flustered.
I shouldn't have agreed in the first place. I told her to reply however she wanted and gave her the phone.
Unexpectedly, she exited the chat window and saw the nickname.
"Female crab, roast chicken, cured pork?"
Gu Qingyi glared at him angrily: "Why did you give us this kind of nickname?"
"Um, calm down first." Gu Bai looked embarrassed.
You're so dense, think of something already!
No, the White Bone Demon doesn't have a brain.
Gu Qingyi handed the phone back to him: "Here, let me hear your story."
The White Bone Demon breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she hadn't chatted with Zhang Yu during this time; otherwise, she would have seen his contact name as her nemesis.
"Actually... um... I like to eat crabs..."
"Do you like me?"
Gu Qingyi's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and something else on her face, and she seemed somewhat awkward: "Actually, I feel...
Damn it, hurry up and make a phone call! Shouldn't there be a phone call or someone coming to interrupt the spell at this time?
I can't really confess my feelings, can I?
I certainly can't say that you're all my reserve food supplies, can I?
The White Bone Demon is very anxious. Would it be too abrupt to forcibly change the subject now?
"We are all just ordinary people..."
Thank God, this is just in time!
"I got a phone call."
The White Bone Demon excitedly picked up her phone and answered instantly: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, this is the Public Security Bureau. Are you Mr. Gu Bai?"
"The Public Security Bureau? That's me. What's up? Do you need my cooperation? I'll definitely cooperate." The White Bone Demon said that this was the first time she had been so eager to help the Public Security Bureau and do something for them.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you know a Taoist priest named Zhang Qingguan?"
"Zhang Qingguan?" Gu Bai asked in confusion, then quickly replied, "I don't know him!"
The police called to ask if you knew Zhang Qingguan and what he was doing there.
"Okay, please be careful lately. Scams are rampant, so don't easily trust strangers," the security guard said gently before hanging up the phone.
The White Bone Demon breathed a sigh of relief and seized the opportunity to change the subject: "You guys from the Public Security Bureau are asking me if I know any Zhang Qingguan. How would I know him?"
"Zhang Qingguan? Public Security Bureau?" Gu Qingyi asked, somewhat puzzled. "I called to ask, and it turns out Zhang Qingguan really is from the Public Security Bureau."
She took out her phone and dialed a number: "Hello, this is Gu Qingyi. I was just with Gu Bai. What's going on with Zhang Qingguan?"
"What? Scamming at the entrance of the residential compound, bullying an elderly person living alone? Mr. Qin was frightened and is currently undergoing a check-up at the hospital? Trying to scam Gu Bai, a resident of the compound?"
Gu Bai: "..."
Grandpa Qin is awesome, he actually got him arrested?
Gu Qingyi hung up the phone and looked at Gu Bai: "Zhang Qingguan contacted you? He was just a Taoist priest with a bruised and swollen face."
"I glanced at him at the door and only heard him say something like 'his forehead is dark,' which is such a ridiculous lie that I didn't even bother to listen to it and just came in."
Gu Bai asked, "Is he really from your police station?"
"It was a misunderstanding. Not every security guard knows him, so he got arrested. Call Uncle Qin and tell him to watch his step." Gu Qingyi hung up her phone. "By the way, let's continue our previous topic."
"Okay, you're going to introduce a weird friend."
"That's not it."
"This is it."
I was referring to the notes.
"It's corrected, Gu Qingyi."
"Who told you to change it? Change it back. It's now called 'Female Crab'."
White Bone Demon: "..."
Okay, whatever makes you happy.
"Now I'll introduce you to a strange creature, one of my symbiotic beings, named Bodhisattva."
As Gu Qingyi spoke, she grabbed the Bodhisattva statue that had been lying back down by the tub and said, "Quickly reveal your true form, give yourself a face, don't scare Gu Bai."
The Bodhisattva's body was revealed, with a face exactly like Gu Qingyi's: "Hello, Gu Bai, I am the monster that coexists with her, named Bodhisattva. I am born with myriad forms and can transform into anyone's face."
"Isn't that like the Shadow Demon, able to transform into anyone?" Gu Bai asked in surprise.
"It's different. I only change my face. The Shadow Demon can not only hide in shadows, but also transform into anyone's appearance, including their body shape," the Bodhisattva explained.
咚咚
A knock came at the door.
Gu Qingyi went to open the door, and Yanran, dressed in a red cheongsam and holding a cigarette, walked in.
"Oh, you're eating something delicious behind my back?" Yanran's gaze fell on the wooden tub. "It's kind of you to remember me."
Gu Qingyi said, "We didn't invite anyone else."
Yanran glanced at Gu Bai and said softly, "I know what you're up to, but with this little bit of skill, you'll only get to be recognized at best."
"It's not just about one meal, there's good news." Bodhisattva picked up her phone: "Look, someone invited Gu Bai over."
Yanran glanced at it, swallowed hard, and her eyes lit up: "A life of debauchery and debauchery? Is this even possible?"
Gu Bai said seriously, "The Public Security Bureau is investigating. As a law-abiding citizen, of course I have to contact them. Shall we go arrest them now?"
"Who are you arresting?" Before Gu Qingyi could speak, Yanran gave a light snort: "This is a matter of great importance, involving many people, and we need to investigate thoroughly."
The Bodhisattva wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, we should investigate thoroughly, find out who's behind this, and then take action."
"Let's pack up the blood wine first and then set off," Gu Qingyi said. "Gu Bai is exempt from entrance fees, since the Bodhisattva is with me, he doesn't need a ticket. But Yanran, you don't have any money."
Yanran was taken aback: "You want money?"
"Nonsense, there's no such thing as a free lunch." Gu Qingyi rolled her eyes at her.
"I have no money. You confiscated all my money a long time ago, and the bureau won't give me any more." Yanran exhaled a puff of smoke and said irritably, "After all this time, all they let me out was go out, and even then, someone had to watch over me."
"Then you should live with Gu Bai and let him take you there," Gu Qingyi said.
Gu Bai appreciated her kindness, but there was no need for it.
Yanran said, "There's no need for that. Just tell me the location, and I'll go by myself."
She didn't want to sell her future for a meal.
"Alright, let's go together. I'll pay for the tickets. Just don't reveal your identities," Gu Bai said.
"Don't worry, unless they're of the same kind, they won't be able to tell my identity. Have the Bodhisattva change Gu Qingyi's face so she won't be recognized," Yanran said.
The two of them—no, it was one person who had been tricked—went out together, still in Zhang Qingguan's Mercedes.
After sending a message to Lao Wang, I finally arrived at a hotel.
They took the elevator to the second floor. The corridor was dark. Old Wang squatted at the fire escape and waved to them.
"Brother, you've kept this well hidden," Gu Bai said.
"Hey, if you don't keep a low profile when doing this kind of thing, you'll have been arrested by the police long ago." Old Wang glanced at Gu Qingyi and Yanran: "Why did you bring two women with you?"
"My friend, come join us for some fun," Gu Bai said casually.
Old Wang seemed to remember something and gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're amazing to have such a beautiful friend."
Gu Bai said, "Take us there quickly, we need to experience it and see if it really works like Tiger Blood Wine, strengthening the body."
"You've also drunk tiger blood wine, bro?"
"I bought some pigs a while ago when I was hauling pigs," Gu Bai said. "I've changed careers now; my old industry was too risky and unstable."
"Brother, pulling the pig is a good buddy," Old Wang said.
"I'm not doing pig farming anymore. I'm now working with a sculptor, a jade carver, and that's the price." Gu Bai held up one finger.
Old Wang exclaimed in surprise, "A thousand yuan?"
"Ten thousand, one thousand is no longer up to par. I'm going for the high-end now." The White Bone Demon proudly raised her head. She had made something of herself, transforming from a butcher into an artist.
After climbing the stairs to the third floor, the air was thick with the stench of blood. Pushing open the emergency exit door, two huge pools of blood came into view, with more than a dozen people already soaking in them.
"Don't worry, bro, there's a private bathroom upstairs."
The two female ghosts were almost unable to hold back any longer, as was the White Bone Demon.
Have we arrived in heaven?
