I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 984 518: See, This Is What It Means to Look for a Donkey While Riding One

If you gain some secrets without sufficient strength, it's fine if you don't pursue them. But if you try to peek, something is bound to happen.

It's like Gu Shanhai telling the Great Heaven Level that there is a certain powerful force in this world, and it's very close by, but the only drawback is you can't control it.

Will the other party give up? Certainly not.

This way, the development could get ugly.

"Unless the remaining third ghost happens to be killed by him on the last day." Gu Shanhai squinted his eyes.

However, this possibility is so small that it can be ignored.

But with Gu Shanhai's help, things would be different.

"Of course, there's another way, and that's to rescue Shura in advance." Gu Shanhai knew the conflict between the two was centered around Shura.

Gu Shanhai doesn't care about Shura's life or death and can drag things out, but not the Great Heaven Level.

Only by rescuing Shura could Gu Shanhai make these two people obediently drag it out to the last day without explaining the reason.

"Compared to helping the ghost survive until the last day, rescuing Shura is actually easier."

He could indeed drag it out to the tenth day, but the Great Heaven Level isn't stupid. If this ghost can continuously evade his calculations, that's very unusual. If things go smoothly, it's very reasonable for suspicion to fall on Gu Shanhai.

Such petty tricks easily lead to misunderstandings between both sides. It's better to be straightforward, and if that doesn't work, spend some money.

Players are simply after benefits, so give them some attribute pills to bribe them.

Gu Shanhai, of course, increased the difficulty, but he also increased the money.

"Bringing Shura back isn't a big deal; just replicate the array."

"The only problem is that the materials require human blood, which I don't have on hand."

By human blood, he naturally means the blood of humans in this world. He isn't human, so he definitely doesn't have any, and neither does the Great Heaven Level. Theoretically speaking, he isn't human but a Netherworld Lord, who looks human and has human functions but, due to his own system, has long been non-human.

Just like cultivators and mortals, if these two are exactly the same, then what's the point of cultivation?

"If it doesn't work, ask the Lantern Ghost for some?"

"Anyway, if human blood doesn't work, using a ghost's body can also serve as a temporary substitute."

As long as you don't intend to create a permanent passage, using ghosts is actually more convenient.

Besides, there isn't much edible on the Lantern Ghost, like the external lantern part is definitely inedible; only the internal ghost fire can be consumed.

Of course, you can force yourself to eat it as long as you don't mind the taste of these woods or paper. With the power of the Great Heaven Level, it's digestible once downed. The taste, well, that's another matter.

"Alright, let the Great Heaven Level quickly deal with this Lantern Ghost." Gu Shanhai sent a message over.

...

At this moment, the Great Heaven Level, having just finished dealing with the Lantern Ghost, received Gu Shanhai's message.

'Cracked Shura's location, now needing parts of the Lantern Ghost's body as raw materials?'

'It shouldn't affect eating, right?'

The Great Heaven Level looked at the Lantern Ghost with a hint of peculiarity in his expression.

Being stared at like this by the Great Heaven Level, the Lantern Ghost's hairs stood on end, and he felt bitter inside, having thought that nothing would happen during his free time, only to realize now that his free time meant being tormented by the other party in a 'free' way.

It's fortunate he's disguised as a human; otherwise, in his true form, he'd have numerous cracks on him by now.

"You've had enough fun with the computer, but your skills are terrible." The Great Heaven Level changed to a friendly expression.

This made the Lantern Ghost shiver. That smile definitely wasn't sincere, and he remembered the terrifying feeling from earlier while playing on the computer.

"I, I've never played it before, so it's normal that I'm not good at it." The Lantern Ghost hurriedly said.

"Then next, let's do something fun, like swimming. How about it?" The Great Heaven Level coaxed kindly.

However, the Lantern Ghost's face turned pale. Letting a lantern go swimming, what a forward-thinking idea.

"But I can't swim. Maybe we should change to something else." The Lantern Ghost couldn't care less now. He noticed the change in the Great Heaven Level's attitude towards him.

Before, it was just about tormenting him to make him suffer a bit. Now it's different; he's even considering taking his life.

"You can't swim, so you need to learn. Otherwise, when you grow up and your girlfriend asks who you'd save if your mother and she fall into the water, if you can't even swim, wouldn't you be doomed?" The Great Heaven Level made up an excuse.

"Ah, I don't have a mom." The Lantern Ghost astutely found the flaw in the statement, as he was staying here as an orphan, so not having a mom was normal.

Upon saying this, the Great Heaven Level's face turned stern.

"Is it about whether you have a mom or not? What they want is an attitude, not for you to actually swim and save someone!"

The Lantern Ghost was nearly in tears. What attitude? If he gave an attitude, he'd end up dead.

"Well, then I just won't find a girlfriend, and no one will ask for my attitude then." The Lantern Ghost thought, given the current situation, whether or not there's talk of a girlfriend, once he got into the pool, he wouldn't need to consider the future. He'd need to consider whether he'd float as a body or sink as a dead body.

Of course, the more likely scenario is being fished out and thrown into a trash bin.

"You've disappointed me. How can you say that?" The Great Heaven Level's face turned dark, directly playing rogue, dragging the Lantern Ghost towards the garden in the yard: "Today, you really must learn, and we need to grind down your temperament a bit."

"Disobedient children are going to be eaten!"

When the words 'be eaten' came out, the Lantern Ghost realized that this was not something he could resist or refuse.

He was a survivor, and as a ghost, he could only survive with difficulty at the hands of humans.

Going meant a nine-death one-life situation; if he dared not go, it might turn into ten deaths, no life.

So he didn't dare resist the dragging of the Great Heaven Level, and reluctantly allowed himself to be brought to the swimming pool.

The water in the pool was still very clear, but it exuded a chill that cut the Lantern Ghost to the bone. Even just approaching made him feel like he might freeze.

'I absolutely cannot go in. Otherwise, if I stay too long, I'll freeze to death. Even if I do go in, I can't stay for more than five minutes.' The Lantern Ghost felt a deep sorrow inside; not going into the water was impossible.

"Come on, let's do some warm-up exercises first, or else you'll cramp up after getting in the water." The Great Heaven Level moved closer, beginning to compel the Lantern Ghost.

Every movement made the Lantern Ghost suffer immensely.

This was no warm-up exercise. As for cramping after getting in the water, if he could stand after this set, it would mean the Lantern Ghost had a sturdy body.

The Lantern Ghost, holding back the pain, spoke: "I think I can manage myself, so I won't trouble you."

"That's fine, but I'll have to watch you do it." The Great Heaven Level didn't force further; he couldn't push the other to the brink. He needed to leave a sliver of hope.

Otherwise, if truly driven to the brink, should the other become reckless or engage in some other behavior, it would lead to unnecessary trouble.

Of course, he had to be firm when necessary, but he needed to find the right balance.

'I don't know what *** has figured out, completing it so quickly without any noise before.' As the Great Heaven Level watched the Lantern Ghost, his mind was pondering this matter, occasionally communicating with Cui Yingying.

Time passed second by second, and although the Lantern Ghost did his warm-up slow, there was ultimately an end to it.

"Great, now we can get into the water. Since it's your first time swimming, we can take it slow." The Great Heaven Level dragged the Lantern Ghost into the pool, implying that if he didn't play him to death, it would be his loss.
