Chapter 20: Don't Learn From Others
In the deep night, a black cat suddenly appeared in the dark corner, with his eyes lit up in the dark night, staring at the man in front of him.
Lilith still couldn't help but come out.
She concluded that Gu Cheng must have had a conspiracy, but she didn't know what she wanted to do.
Could you catch them all in one go?
Looking at the man in front of her, she looked as gentle as jade, but she knew clearly how cruel this guy was after taking off his disguise.
Lilith is ready to escape from the hole behind her at any time.
"I have expressed sincerity, you should believe me." Gu Cheng squatted down and said. Just this action almost shocked her to escape.
Sincerity?
Xia Xiaoman, who was sitting on the wall and eavesdropping, was stunned. What sincerity?
Could it be that Gu Cheng said that he was sincere?
"Just talk properly and don't move!" Lilith used her tail to stumble into the hole in the wall behind her, but she was still a little worried.
Gu Cheng really didn't move anymore, just chuckled and looked at the black cat that was about to retract from the hole, "How long have you lived in Baicheng?"
"Just half a year."
“Where was before?”
"What do you want to do?" Lilith was alert.
"It's like this when we talk about the past, and when we meet old friends," Gu Cheng said seriously.
“…”
"It's not safe outside, why don't you go back to my house? When someone sees me talking to a cat, you will think I'm sick. If someone hears you talking, it may make people tangle for the rest of their lives and leave behind any urban strange stories."
When Gu Cheng spoke, he looked around and saw that the alley was remote and it was dark again, so few people came here.
"Why?" Lilith suddenly asked.
"You want to know why I didn't tear you?" Gu Cheng said slowly. Although there was a smile on his face, Lilith's heart chills, and her tail couldn't stop, and she almost turned her head to drill a hole.
"You are like what I guess now. There is no news for more than a hundred years. You either integrate into the lives of the crowd or hide in the wilderness - it's actually quite pitiful. After all, you didn't really do much bad things at the beginning."
Gu Cheng stood up with his knees and saw that the black cat was so stupid that he wanted to laugh.
Now is not as good as before. Even if they all come out, they have to hide their tails and get used to human life, instead of doing whatever they want like before, and dare to stand up and be dead.
Before Chen Hua could see clearly, although the vampire was a little unwise, she was still very self-aware of this matter. Of course, it may also be related to the experience of being tied to a cross and almost burned to death a hundred years ago.
"Life well, Miss Witch, don't worry, there is a vampire next door to me."
"Are you serious?" Lilith asked.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"You guy... are very bad, maybe you're so mean."
"In the past, human living environment was difficult, natural disasters and man-made disasters, high mountains and long roads, and going far away may be the last one. Now, the other way around, monsters should be careful to hide themselves. Why should I make things difficult for you?"
“…”
Lilith didn't speak, Gu Cheng was right, now it's no longer as before. When she turned into a cat, she had to hide her abnormality, for fear of being arrested for research.
"If those few are not dead yet, you can tell them that the world has changed now, don't think about doing anything all day long, it's great to come out and enjoy life."
"This is your real purpose, right?" Lilith was shocked when she heard this.
Let them gather together, then raid, punch an old monster, and end the previous grudges... Cough, it is said that it is grudges, but it is actually the past when they were beaten unilaterally.
"You should become a mouse so coward."
Gu Cheng glanced at her, waved to Xia Xiaoman, and ignored her.
After walking back along the alley for two steps, he suddenly remembered that he was going to the convenience store. As soon as he turned around, he saw that Lilith had not left yet, and was still staring at him under the wall.
Seeing him turn around, Lilith took a step back and turned her head and slipped away.
Xia Xiaoman stood on tiptoe and watched the black cat go away. He didn't know why the ghost had to stand on tiptoe, but it could be seen that she was very curious about mysterious things like witches.
"Do I look that scary?" Gu Cheng asked Xia Xiaoman.
"I don't know how you hit them hundreds of years ago." Xia Xiaoman shrugged. That's it, but it's still hard for her to imagine what Gu Cheng did to make Lilith afraid of that.
"She was bad before?"
"It's not particularly bad. The graves that were really bad have been pushed to the ground and built onto the building."
“…”
Xia Xiaoman stuck out his tongue and walked out of the alley. The lights were still on in the convenience store next to him. Gu Cheng touched his body, but fortunately he brought his cell phone, otherwise he would have been in vain.
The convenience stores are not as convenient as before. They didn’t bring money to keep accounts. They just need to calculate together next time they go there. However, Gu Cheng also knew that the rule of not owing credit is a good thing, and it is less convenient. I don’t know how many confused accounts and deadbeats are avoided.
It's just a pity that there is less humanity.
Missing the past convenience store, Gu Cheng bought toothpaste in front of the shelves and carried a bottle of aged vinegar in his hand. He turned around and found Xia Xiaoman floating next to the freezer, looking at him.
Gu Cheng walked over to look at the ice cream in the freezer, then looked up at Xia Xiaoman. She lowered her head and was confused about which one to choose. The various packaging inside dazzled her.
The shop owner sat behind the cashier and watched Gu Cheng beside him for a moment, he couldn't help but smile, "The old popsicle is delicious."
"Well, the simplest happiness." Gu Cheng agreed. This thing is to add some glutinous rice flour to ice it. It is not as messy as other ice creams. It is simple and delicious.
There were 25 yuan in total, and I scan the code to pay, and Gu Cheng and the ghost around me left the convenience store.
There are not a few stars in the sky, the street lights are dim, and there are only Gu Cheng's footsteps in the alley.
The old popsicle couldn't be eaten directly, so Xia Xiaoman could only go back with Gu Cheng with expectations, jumped gently on the road, and his hair also floated up.
When she got home, she put down the toothpaste and vinegar. Gu Cheng glanced at her looking forward to her standing next to the small incense burner, slowly tearing open the packaging, put it in her mouth and took a bite in her mouth. Now it's just June, and it's still a little cool.
Xia Xiaoman's hair was no longer floating. She lowered her head, and her black hair covered her from behind to the front, like Sadako, staring at him from the gap in her hair, full of resentment.
Gu Cheng finished her gaze.
"I suddenly remembered that when you were young, you always liked to pretend to be an adult and rarely asked for anything. When you saw you looking at candied haws on the street, you asked if you wanted to eat them. You shook your head and said no."
"So I want it now." Xia Xiaoman said quietly.
This person was able to recall his memories while eating the popsicle she chose. It was really hateful.
"Do you regret it? You didn't ask for a little more at that time."
"You don't know how much I regret."
"If you die, you will look like a little girl." Gu Cheng shook his head and smiled, "The more you live, the more naive you become."
He lit an incense stick and went to the refrigerator to open the lower layer. He took out five or six popsicles inside.
Xia Xiaoman's resentful expression disappeared and became very exciting.
"Don't quarrel at night or crawl on the ground in the morning. Ghosts are ghosts. What should I learn from movies made with people?"
