Was Su Zixiang afraid?
He wasn’t afraid, nor should he be afraid.
There was no evidence to prove that the black ghost had anything to do with Su Zimo. Su Zixiang was indifferent to Su Zimo’s calm face; maybe he didn’t see anything at all!
So Su Zixiang put his hand in his jacket and took out a silver pistol that he’d been concealing!
This gun was Su Zixiang’s greatest support as a veteran!
Su Zixiang didn’t even need to get close to the malicious spirits who had bitten Su Yi. He unlocked the safety and took out an ordinary-looking jade pendant from the concealed pocket on his waist and brought it closer to the body of the gun. The jade pendant turned into white powder and floated into the body of the gun in the next second.
After performing those actions as quick as he cuold, Su Zixiang shot in the direction where Su Yi was standing.
Clearly no bullets were released, but the three malicious spirits that were originally surrounding Su Yi were hit and their souls scattered!
Su Zimo was standing there and didn’t ignore Su Zixiang’s movements. He could see that the jade pendant his cousin brought out was a two-star ghost tool. Although the gun was a three-star ghost tool that was powerful and lethal, it needed to be reloaded with bullets every time it was used.
A characteristic of that ghost tool was that it could absorb the power of another ghost tool and transform it into bullets. The lethality and quantity of the bullets were determined by the quality of the ghost tool used to load it.
It was like ‘eating’ ghost tools. Even Su Zimo, the current owner of An Yu Yi Yu, couldn’t bear it, let alone Su Zixiang, an ordinary trainer.
Although Su Zixiang took out the jade pendant to reload the bullets and shot them quickly, he looked somber and gloomy now. Reloading the bullets with that jade pendant wasn’t an easy decision for him.
The reason it was so hard wasn’t too complicated. Maybe he just wanted to show off that stupid think in front of Su Zimo.
Just when Su Zixiang was about to turn around and get rid of the ghost umbrella as well, he suddenly heard Su Zimo, who was sitting calmly, say–
“Bad Luck Lipstick really lives up to its name. Every time she applies the lipstick and makes a wish, what she waits for isn’t Cinderella’s fairy godmother, but a hideous malicious spirit.”
“Although Miss Su and I share no grievances or grudges, Miss Su seems to want to kill me using that lipstick’s power?” Su Zimo rose from his seat, looked at his father who was still in front of him, then looked at Su Yi. “Wasn’t it enough to take this face from me?”
“How do you know about such things?” Su Zixiang looked at his cousin who had suddenly become a stranger with disbelief.
It’s quite funny. Su Zimo emphasized the lipstick many times, but Su Zixiang kept thinking that he was only referring to a deer as a horse.
After Su Yi’s affairs were exposed, he was surprised and shocked again. It was as if Su Zimo had been hiding secrets about destroying the world.
“Get rid of that first.” Su Zimo naturally pointed to the figure of the axe ghost that was still reflected on the wall beside Su Yi.
[After the side dishes are gone, it’s also nice to have dessert.] After Su Zixiang’s elimination of those three horrible ghosts, Ghost Umbrella’s tone was somewhat regretful.
“I don’t know what’s special about those who have experienced their nineteenth nightmare, but if one day you safely clear your twentieth nightmare, Zixiang, maybe we can sit down and talk.”
For Ghost Umbrella, eating ghosts was simply a kind of energy absorption. There wouldn’t be anything particularly interesting to watch, so Su Zimo simply chatted with his cousin.
“Of course the requirement, Zixiang, would be that you can pass through the twentieth nightmare world.” Su Zimo smiled gently and intimately, like a persuasive teacher.
That being said, Su Zimo didn’t forget to beckon over Mu Feng from where he was standing. After Housekeeper Mu came over, he smiled and introduced him to Su Zixiang: “This happened so suddenly. If you had told us about becoming a trainer earlier, perhaps the Su family could have helped.”
“You… are also a trainer?” Su Zixiang finally realized something.
That black-clothed malicious spirit, that incredibly powerful black-clothed malicious spirit. Just now, he obediently followed Su Zimo’s orders and got rid of the axe ghost!
Su Zimo… could control the malicious spirit?!
“No.” Su Zimo shook his head.
Su Zixiang’s expression immediately became complicated. At first, Su Duan, who sat to the side, listened well to what his son said. Even if Su Zimo looked good, he thought that Su Zixiang was better.
But seeing Su Zixiang’s face at that moment, Su Duan was no longer sure.
“Then what help can you provide?” Although Su Zixiang was still subconsciously retorting against Su Zimo, his tone was better than before.
“We could introduce some veterans with rich experience to Zixiang, for example.” Su Zimo motioned to Mu Feng, who had already come to him. “This Housekeeper Mu has experienced the nineteenth nightmare world many times. Maybe you two can sit down for a chat and exchange your experiences.”
“What are you saying about many times…” Su Zixiang became speechless after the middle of his sentence. He originally tried to refute Su Zimo about his ignorance, but remembered that there were indeed trainers who relied on continuous failures as a loophole to avoid the twentieth nightmare world. He never thought that Su Zimo would know about that.
Anyone who knew about that must first understand the horror and despair of the twentieth nightmare world. It was a kind of despair that Su Zixiang had not personally experienced.
But the stories about mice and snakes: he had heard many people talk about those evaders and predators who were spurned by trainers. Su Zixiang preferred to call himself an inheritor.
Unlike the mice and snakes, Su Zixiang had a teacher. He was a leader in Dawn Organization and a veteran who saved his life when he first entered the nightmare world.
There was a tradition amongst the good older leaders of Dawn Organization. Before entering their twentieth nightmare world, they would pass on their ghost tools to a selected younger generation.
They did that because they all knew that they couldn’t survive the twentieth nightmare world. Many more powerful trainers had entered the twentieth nightmare world and never returned. They knew that if they disappeared into the twentieth nightmare world, the ghost tools in their hands would be like like trash.
As an inheritor, Su Zixiang grit his teeth and was willing to use ghost tools to reload bullets for his sweetheart.
It was precisely because trainers older than him had ‘disappeared’ that Su Zixiang dared to boast in front of the Su family.
When facing ordinary people, Su Zixiang was a high-level trainer. But in the face of the twentieth nightmare world, Su Zixiang was still weak and unassuming. He may end up worse than an ordinary person like Su Zimo.
Su Zixiang had the guts to directly challenge the twentieth nightmare world because he got a ghost tool that could definitely protect him in his previous nightmare world. Although using that ghost tool would have consequences, it also gave Su Zixiang the confidence to challenge the next nightmare world.
As long as he could come back alive, Su Zixiang would truly stand above all trainers. He thought about it every night because he couldn’t wait.
“I disdain exchanging experiences with mice.” Thinking of his trump card, Su Zixiang regained his confidence in front of Su Zimo. “I don’t expect you to know much, but don’t think that getting help from a malicious spirit is a good thing. He may help you one second, then push you to your death in the next second…”
Su Zixiang hadn’t even finished speaking that time when the familiar feeling of a sharp sword piercing his heart struck once more. Although he didn’t fall to the ground with his chair this time, he was unprepared and fell onto the table.
But this time Su Zixiang was certain that the terrible feeling came from the black malicious spirit!
How could such a terrifying malicious spirit be controlled by Su Zimo? One day, even if Su Zixiang doesn’t deal with Su Zimo, Su Zimo would be killed by that malicious spirit!
“Thank you for your concern.” Su Zimo smiled. At that time, Ghost Umbrella returned to behind him. All the malicious spirits summoned by Su Yi had been eliminated.
It’s just that Su Yi’s status wasn’t very good at the moment.
Because of the ghost umbrella, Su Gan and the others were able to see the malicious spirits. They could also see Su Yi’s clenched right hand emitting puffs of black smoke. The intense tingling sensation forced Su Yi to loosen her hand that was holding the lipstick.
The exquisite lipstick fell onto the floor tiles with a crisp sound. It transformed entirely into sizzling black smoke just a second after the sound, and it rushed towards Su Yi’s face without warning.
“Aaaahhh!” Another scream sounded. Su Yi painfully covered her black smoke-enshrouded face.
Although the others couldn’t see what happened to Su Yi’s face, they could tell that the black smoke had been distorted and changed. It made them feel that Su Yi’s face had also been distorted and changed.
Then a shocking scene occurred. Two pieces of flesh-colored plastic fell off of Su Yi’s face. With a closer glance, they could see human facial features in the rough-looking plastic, but the material was too poor to see clearly.
Su Zimo knew that the Bad Luck Lipstick had already begun to devour her.
Su Zimo thought that even if Su Yi’s face changed during the lipstick’s backlash, it would at best change back to its original appearance.
But as the black smoke gradually dissipated, Su Zimo saw Su Yi’s face which was barely covered by her hands. Red bumps began to appear on her visible skin. Although they couldn’t see the entire thing, they felt a little uncomfortable.
The most uncomfortable one was Su Zixiang, who had an improper relationship with Su Yi.
Su Zixiang had never seen Su Yi’s original appearance. Once the black smoke dissipated, he saw her real appearance. Then he saw those uncomfortable red marks, and the original whiteness had become sallow. Wrinkles even gradually appeared on her hands. Su Zixiang was extremely disgusted.
[The lipstick took away the vitality of that woman’s body.] Ghost Umbrella whispered in Su Zimo’s ear, explaining why Su Yi’s condition was so much worse than before she got the lipstick.
“I don’t even recognize who she is anymore.” Su Gan said softly from the side, making Su Zixiang’s face become even more ugly.
Since the face similar to Su Zimo’s had disappeared, all of Su Zixiang’s previous remarks had become nonsense.
