Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Chapter 65: Newspaper

So fast? When Gu Xizhou heard Si Yus words, it took a moment for him to snap out of it. Although it seemed like a long time, it didnt even take a minute for Si Yu to look over the routes on Gu Xizhous notes.

En. Si Yu explained slowly, Just now, I looked at the route of those students you followed. Furthermore, of the students I followed, there was one common feature when they were walking, if there were two consecutive left turns en route, they absolutely wouldnt turn right, no matter where their destination was.

Oh, Gu Xizhou very quickly followed Si Yus reasoning. In fact, this was very simpleif a lone person took two left turns and then one right, they would be immediately run over and killed by a big truck.

But the sample size is still too small. I cant be completely confident of my judgement. For the sake of security, its better to have a few more samples, said Si Yu softly. Well wait for a student to come out and try again.

Gu Xizhou: Okay.

Excuse me!

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu were sitting on the staircase conversing when they suddenly heard the strong and robust voice of a man.

A middle-aged man around fifty years old stood behind them, holding a pile of discarded newspapers in his left hand and a bowl of wonton noodles in his right. He raised his brows and said, What are you doing loitering in the doorway? Youre blocking me from throwing out the trash!

This middle-aged man should be the dormitory supervisor. Upon seeing Gu Xizhou and Si Yu, he couldnt help but complain: Students nowadays dont study properly; they only know how to waste their parents money.

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu stood up at the same time to make way for the man.

Hold on!

Si Yu heard from beside him. He looked back at Gu Xizhou.

Uncle, Ill help you throw this trash away. You eat your wontons first. They wont taste as good when theyre cold.

When he heard Gu Xizhou, the supervisor thanked him and stuffed the newspapers into Gu Xizhous hands. With a mischievous grin, he said, Okay, thanks! You can look for me if you need anything!

After waiting for the middle-aged man to depart, Gu Xizhou opened the newspaper. After a moment, he said, No need to wait for the students. The cause of death is precisely left, left, right.

Si Yu heard him, and his eyelashes drooped as he looked down at the newspaper Gu Xizhou was pointing to. The newspaper was from yesterday, and the title was written in a row of bright red, eye-catching letters: Shocking! Madwoman Ran Away From Home and Was Run Over by a Large Truck! A Terrifying Demise!

The information also included a map of the path from the deceaseds home to the place of the accident. The route was exactly what Si Yu had just surmised about the death condition turn left, turn left, turn right. The madwoman in the newspaper had just turned right when she was crushed and drawn under an out of control truck. After being twisted and rolled under the tires many times, she finally died.

How did you think to ask him for the old newspaper? Si Yu asked.

Gu Xizhou shrugged. He pointed at the newspapers large red print and said, He was standing right there shaking the newspaper around. Big truck, third-year university student, all in big red letters. It would be harder not to see it.

Si Yu nodded faintly. After determining the cause of death, they didnt leave the dormitory but rather found the dormitory supervisors discarded newspaper.

Supervisor uncle, do you have todays newspaper? Gu Xizhou stood outside the dorm supervisors room and asked. I want to look at todays news.

Oh, its you. The dorm supervisor still had some impression of Gu Xizhou, and the corners of his eyes wrinkled. He beckoned him over and said, Come in, ba, but you can only look at it in here. You cant take it away. I still havent read it.

Here, its on the table.

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other, then at the newspaper on the table. Just as expected, there was a huge headline at the top: Vagrant Man Who Didnt Eat for Five Days Starved to Death on Streets.

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.

He expected to see some bizarre form of death, but starvation seemed like it had nothing to do with him. Gu Xizhou flipped through the entire newspaper, but that story was the only news pertaining to someones death.

Si Yu glanced at him thoughtfully, deciding to temporarily refrain from destroying Gu Xizhous good mood. Changing the subject, he said, Go, ba. First lets look for the others and tell them the rule.

Okay, ah. Gu Xizhou was successfully distracted. Lets hurry up! But really, Si Yu, howd you get a brain like that? How are you so smart? Just walking can lead to death, who could think of it, ah!

Si Yu was uninterested in Gu Xizhous praise. Instead, he tugged Gu Xizhou and said, Go faster.

They made sure not to take two left turns on their way through the school. They constantly made right and left turns. After about ten minutes, Gu Xizhou ran into Fang Zhi. Of the other three scattered teammates, two triggered the death condition, but there was one female student who survived due to luck like Xia Hang and Bai Dongyang.

The remaining nine people gathered together in the teaching building, talking in whispers.

I-I tripped and fell on the road, so I didnt turn right The surviving young woman, Xiao Yue, looked pale, and she was crying as she spoke. If I hadnt stepped on my own shoelace, I also

Youre really lucky! Cheng Yue listened to the surviving girl give an account of her two companions deaths. He stared at her for a long time before he finally choked out a sentence.

Okay, Si Yu took over the conversation and grabbed the old newspaper Gu Xizhou found. He said, This is yesterdays newspaper. Gu Xizhou and I also saw todays newspaper in the dorm supervisors room.

Cheng Yue asked calmly, Whats in it?

Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other before Gu Xizhou answered Cheng Yue. The headline is: Vagrant Man Who Didnt Eat for Five Days Starved to Death on Streets.

Starved to death? Cheng Yue let out a breath. Seems like it has nothing to do with us.

One of their other teammates nodded in agreement and said, Right, ah! So long as we dont follow the deadly route, well be alright!

Lets go, ba. Well go upstairs and see if that woman isnt here. Cheng Yue said.

Si Yu didnt say anything, but Gu Xizhou knew he didnt mention the headline for no reason. Since Si Yu didnt say anything, he temporarily decided not to ask anything either.

At the head of the stairs of one side of the teaching block, there was a mirror. Gu Xizhou glanced at his reflection in the mirror. Inside the mission world, he looked very gentle. Compared to the real world, he also looked more pale, and he was a little shorter.

Fang Zhi still had a baby face, but compared with outside, he was tall!

The mission world was indeed illogical. Gu Xizhou was speechless.

Go upstairs, ba. Remember the path that leads to death. Si Yu walked in front and warned the others, Dont forget about it when youre running away, either, or else no one will be able to save you.

As they walked, the others mentioned that they should certainly be even more cautious in this world. Most of them, like Gu Xizhou, were in their third world. It wasnt the first time that Si Yu, this big shot with over ten worlds of experience, had seen such a strange death condition.

This is my third world. Why is it so difficult? Gu Xizhou whispered. They walked ahead of the others and talked quietly.

Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou, and his expression was also at a loss. In a voice that only they could hear, he said, I also think its odd. The first two werent bad. This next mission world shouldnt have newcomers.

Noticing Si Yus hesitant expression, like he wanted to say something, Gu Xizhou tugged at him and said, What do you want to say? Say it directly!

The experience from the mission worlds with you is less than one ninth of what it used to be, said Si Yu, knitting his brows.

Gu Xizhou: Its normal for a level 18 bigshot to get a smaller reward for a level three monster!

Si Yu heard Gu Xizhous explanation and reluctantly said, En. Then, he walked ahead.

Seeing this, Gu Xizhou heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his eyes to look at Si Yus back. His heart was stuffy. Stingy world, even if he was cheating, it didnt need to deduct points so ruthlessly, right?

Si Yu entered the empty office. He went to Su Xiaomians desk for a moment before walking to the window.

Gu Xizhou walked to the window and looked down. He saw the short-haired woman standing downstairs. Her eyes bent smilingly after seeing Gu Xizhou and Si Yu. She turned toward the dining hall. As she left, a few students waved to her.

Do we chase her? Cheng Yue asked, turning hopefully toward Si Yu. It was clear that Cheng Yue had chosen to obey Si Yu, so now he turned to look for his opinion.

No need, said Si Yu, looking at the reflection in the glass of the open door. Shes coming.

Gu Xizhou looked at the figure in the glass. From the head of long hair, it wasnt difficult to guess the persons identity.

So you were all here! When Su Xiaomian entered the office, there was a smile on her face. Because she was very beautiful, it was as if this warmed the heart and delighted the eye.

Gu Xizhou nodded.

Si Yu took out the newspaper. Pointing to the report, he asked, Teacher Su, do you know the insane woman from this car accident?

Su Xiaomian picked up the newspaper and looked it over carefully. She took a very long time to peruse the report before she finally said dully, I dont know.

Think again, carefully. Si Yu persuaded.

Su Xiaomian shook her head and said weakly, Im certain.

After she said this, Su Xiaomian glanced at her watch and offered them an invitation, Do you want to eat lunch together?

No need, go ahead. Well find out the cause as soon as possible.

Su Xiaomian nodded faintly upon hearing Si Yus refusal, quickly leaving the office.

After Si Yu saw her leave, he began to rummage through her drawer with an indifferent expression. The others quickly began to help. Soon, the drawers contents had been entirely combed through.

Fuck, theres so much makeup and bags! I thought her drawer was full of those specialized books for university teachers!

It doesnt look like theres anything useful.

Gu Xizhou stood at the office window. Just like before, he saw Su Xiaomian leaving the teaching building. He stopped and looked for a while. Cheng Yue moved closer and asked, Did you discover something?

Gu Xizhou said, Yesterday, when she took us to the dormitory, a lot of people greeted her along the way.

Cheng Yue gave an objective evaluation, Shes really good-looking. Its not strange for someone to greet her.

Right, but now, watch how none of the students greet her. Gu Xizhou pointed at Su Xiaomian in the distance.

Si Yu said straightforwardly, She was already replaced.

Everyone was struck speechless by these words, and the atmosphere was suddenly silent.

They quickly left the teaching building. After eating lunch in the dining hall, they searched all afternoon without finding any clues.

After dinner, they returned to their rooms and washed their faces. Gu Xizhou lay on the bed.

Gugugu

Gu Xizhou stared at the ceiling as his stomach growled and grumbled, Im starving, ah.

Im hungry, too.

Fang Zhi agreed with Gu Xizhou.

Haha, Gu Xizhou laughed, but suddenly his smile froze as he recalled the days events. He struck the bed plank and asked, Si Yu, are you hungry?

En.

Gu Xizhou: Fuck!

Gu Ge, whats wrong? Fang Zhi sat up in bed and looked at Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou called out and jumped down from the bed. His eyes fell on Si Yu and his expression read pain in the ass. He recited the article they read earlier that day. Vagrant Man Who Didnt Eat for Five Days Starved to Death on Streets.

Ah, Si Yu rolled his eyes and said, You still have a bit of IQ.

Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu with a deep hidden bitterness. The woman who died in a traffic accident corresponds to one of the death methods. Starving to death, this shouldnt correspond to

Si Yu mercilessly interrupted Gu Xizhou conjecture with an indifferent tone, Right. If we cant leave in five days, we will starve to death. Thats why I said there shouldnt be newcomers in this world.

This one is a little ruthless, ah.

Originally, there were twelve days to clear this mission world, but in reality there are only five days.

Gu Xizhou said begrudgingly, You already guessed it. Why didnt you tell me to eat more at dinner today!

Si Yu ignored him and turned so his back was facing him.

Gu Xizhou seldom suffered from insomnia, but he was half-awake all night. As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken by the feeling of hunger. It was truly difficult to bear. At dawn, the whole team, each and every one with dark circles under their eyes, entered the dining hall just like fierce tigers, throwing themselves and the food to devour it.

After eating countless steamed buns, Gu Xizhou was still unsatisfied. He looked at his stomach with distress and only felt gnawing hunger.

He would rather be chased by a ghost well, to speak more accuratelyhe chased ghosts.

The author has something to say: Goodnight, the death method in this chapter should be understandable qwq
