Chapter 73 - Ghost’s Bride (9) (2/2)
“There’s also one more thing. Mr. Mu seems to have been unreachable for two years ago. He may have disappeared or maybe he is hiding somewhere. Perhaps, he’s even dead. But from then on, the organisation started to have some conflict. My son recently has been thinking about leaving the organisation………”
“So, I beg you. Please let our family go. That year, we really had no choice………..I can help you find Mr. Mu, as long as you don’t kill———–”
“Schunk.”
An arm passed through Elder Li’s chest, sending out large spatters of blood. There was still the look of horror on Elder Li’s face. A large hole opened in his chest and his body twitched a few times before falling to the ground. In an instant, there was no signs of life left in him.
The groom took back his bloodstained arm and stood before him for a few seconds. He then shook the blood off his arm.
“He doesn’t deserve to lifv.”
He said.
Cheng Zhi Chu was shocked. Seeing the dead man before him, he opened his mouth and his heart trembled. But when he thought of Bai Yi who had already died, he closed his eyes and restrained himself from saying anything.
Bai Xi Xing was also indifferent. His eyes as he looked at the body was calm and almost completely cold. Facing the old man, he didn’t even blink his eyes and just raised his eyebrow. With a small voice, he said: “Maybe I should find his son too……….”
But he soon looked up again and, with a hint of expectation, he looked at Cheng Zhi Chu: “Junior Cheng, I know that you have some special skills. Perhaps you can help me find the whereabouts of my cousin……..or do you have any clues?”
“…………..”
Cheng Zhi Chu lowered his head. His hands quietly tightened. He couldn’t tell Bai Xi Xing about “Infinite Escape” but——-
“I will definitely bring Bai Yi back.”
He suddenly looked up. Although his eyes were still teary, his eyes were resolute.
“I promise you, he will definitely be back.”
“…………”
Bai Xi Xing was stunned. The cold look on his face softened and the corner of his lips lifted up slightly. He nodded at him:
“Okay, I believe in you.”
[Now then……….]
Cheng Zhi Chu fell into thought. Just when he was mulling over what to do next, he heard the silver coin speak again.
[After cutting of their heads and burying it under his residence, Mr. Mu cannot move to another residence.]
[The head that he cut off must also be sent to his residence as soon as possible to avoid losing the luck so he probably doesn’t live far from where he attacked your friend.]
[Once you get within the range, I can identify where his residence is.]
[Have you thought about it properly? I can take you to his home and can help you find your friends head. You are already clear about the condition for that. As long as you become me ma——]
[I’ll do it.] Cheng Zhi Chu replied without hesitation, [How should I become your master?]
……….
Hearing him accept it so quickly, the silver coin fell quiet for a few seconds. It seemed to be surprised. When it responded, there was still a hint of awkwardness in its voice. It was as if it couldn’t believe that it could succeed so easily this time.
[Oh……It’s very simple. I will release myself. You just need to put a drop of your blood on my surface to become my master.]
[Then let’s do it.]
Cheng Zhi Chu held the silver coin in the palm of his hand. Using the other hand, he picked up a broken ceramic piece from the floor and gently made a small cut. A large drop of blood formed at the wound.
“Mummy, don’t!”
The bear seemed to have sensed what Cheng Zhi Chu was intending to do and it quickly climbed out of his backpack. It cried out to stop Cheng Zhi Chu with a look of anxiousness.
“You can’t agree to it. It doesn’t have good intentions!”
[This is his choice. It has nothing to do with you.] The coin spoke dissatisfiedly. [And what do you mean I don’t have good intentions? It may be so in the past, but now…….]
“Thank you for your concern, Pinecone.” Cheng Zhi Chu smiled and said gently, “But for Bai Yi…..”
He moved his finger over the coin and was about to let the drop of blood fall onto the coin, but he was suddenly stopped by a cold and pale hand.
Cheng Zhi Chu looked up in surprise. It was the groom that had grabbed his hand.
The headless man said in a low voice: “I’ll do it.”
A wound automatically appeared on his finger and blood flowed out, covering the silver surface of the coin.
Silver coin: ……………
A sharp clowns laughter resonated in the room and the coin floated up from Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand. Its appearance changed rapidly, and it turned into a rich, blood red colour. The clown and the devil faces became even more horrific.
It didn’t belong to Cheng Zhi Chu, but he still heard the systems introduction.
【The nature of the item has changed. A cursed item appears. Danger. Please be careful.]
【Item Name: Devil’s Coin.]
【Original Name: Joker’s Coin.]
【Item Type: Cursed Item.]
【Can you bring it out of the instance: Yes]
【Description: An ancient coin which is hosted by a dangerous demon. It would tempt you day and night. It has the ability to fulfil all your wishes and destroy everything you have.]
【Danger level: S]
【Practical Level: S]
【Effect: Say your wish and then throw this coin. If the clown side is facing up, the demon will fulfil a part of your wish. If your get the clown face twice in a row, it will achieve more of it, and so on.]
【Side effect: If you get the devils face, the devil will take away something of yours. If you get two consecutive devil faces, it will take away double the amount. This will continue until you call into despair and no longer possess anything, and it will take away your soul and life.]
【Consecutive throw of the devils side ten times would lead to the direct collapse of the instance.]
【Please use it carefully.]
Sure enough, it is a cursed item! Cheng Zhi Chu was a bit stunned. He knew that this thing is evil but how did it manage to get mixed in with the weapons? It must be because the demon inside had tricked the system and managed to mix in!
The coin laid in the palm of his hand with a bright red appearance. It suddenly started to tremble, and, with a clear sound, it fell to the ground.
“Swoosh——–“
Under the surprised look from Cheng Zhi Chu and Bai Xi Xing, faint red fog suddenly appeared around the coin. From within the fog, a human figure appeared. Its figure was tall and gradually limbs and a dark pair of bony wings formed. From within the fog, a slender and defined hand reached out.
But the demon was yet to walk out from the red fog to reveal its true appearance when it suddenly stopped. It let out a low groan and it took back its hand again. The shadow shrank at a rate that was visible to the naked eye until it reached a size that was similar to that of a baby. A lightning-like burst of light shone and the shadow immediately threw itself at Cheng Zhi Chu.
“Wu…..It’s all your fault! So hateful! Why didn’t you become my master!”
A small figure about the size of a forearm batted its bat-like wings and cried out using a delicate, childish voice. Using its small fists, it punched Cheng Zhi Chu’s chest but there was no power in it at all.
The child wore a demon-like black suit and had a cute devil horn on his head. Behind him he had a long and thin tail and he looked up with a face covered in tears. The yellow eyes made it look particularly pitiful as it stared at Cheng Zhi Chu. It sniffled and said:
“You’re so hateful………”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 73)
(Continuation from the previous entry)
But that man’s ending was no better than mine. His body had been divided into countless pieces of meat and he would no longer be able to get it back any more. His body had completely died in the instance.
As for his soul, it had transformed into a huge monster. It stirred up several instances together, causing them to become chaotic and disorderly. He now occupies this morphed and twisted world, absorbing their spiritual power while lying dormant.
One day, I will go back to that world and kill him completely.
