Chapter 34: Qin Zhongzhi's Battle of Wits with the Ghost King · Tears of Laughter
On the night before an unnamed person pulled me out of the state of unconsciousness, Qin Zhongzhi was attracted to a doll machine shop while strolling in a shopping mall. So, she drew some symbols and played with the coin-operated doll machine. Dr. Jia, on the other hand, found the doll machine too childish and went to a bookstore to read a book. Little did Qin Zhongzhi expect that she had fallen into the carefully designed ghost domain illusion by the Ghost King...
Qin Zhongzhi kept putting coins into the claw machine, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grab a single doll. Frustrated, she switched from one machine to another, and if that didn't work, she would switch again. She repeated this process until she ran out of coins in her basket. She sighed and stood up, only to realize that everyone around her had disappeared. It was then that she realized she had fallen into an illusion.
Qin Zhongzhi quickly ran out, but he couldn't get out even though the door was close. At this moment, the lights became dim and flickered intermittently. Only hear a "thud" behind him, as if a doll had fallen down, and then a "ding" sound, as if the doll had walked out by itself.
Qin Zhongzhi quickly closed his right eye and tried to draw a symbol. However, she couldn't help but think about courage and ended up manifesting a gruesome bloody gallbladder. She was so scared that she quickly covered her eyes.
"Hello, beauty, turn around and look at me!" That doll spoke, with the strange voice that dolls make. "Haven't you always wanted to catch a doll?"
"Ah? I dare not look, I heard that some ghosts will be done for once you look with your eyes!" She pondered hard for a way to escape.
"Uh, that's the Electric Light Ghost King! I am the Flying Body Ghost King, so I can look!" Doll said seriously.
秦钟芝这才小心翼翼地转过身来，发现是只头上打了补丁的熊娃娃，丑萌丑萌的，这才松了口气，拍拍胸口说，“吓死宝宝了，哎，整天都担惊受怕的……啊！”看到眼前这一幕，她又惊叫起来。
Only to see Patch Bear suddenly burst open, revealing a menacing ghost with curly hair, a hunchback as though hundreds of years old, nostrils reaching the sky, lips protruding, and teeth not in alignment. "Quickly tell me, did the baby get scared to death? Haha!"
Qin Zhongzhi cried out, "Doctor Jia! Doctor Jia, help me!"
"Scream as much as you want! No one will come to save you!" the Ghost King sneered insidiously.
"Oh, it seems like I've had a lifelong feud with ghosts," Qin Zhongzhi regained some composure and shouted loudly, "Emperor Zhenwu! Come and banish this ghost!"
"Emperor Zhenwu?! Where is he?" The Ghost King backed away in fright, but then quickly reacted and taunted, "Hmph, you little girl, how dare you try to scare me?! Even if Emperor Zhenwu comes, he won't be able to enter my designed ghost domain illusion! Hand over your brain obediently!"
"Hahaha, how funny! If you have the ability, come and get it yourself!" Qin Zhongzhi widened his left eye and shouted, "Clone! Hurry up!" Then two identical clones appeared, and the three of them started running around separately.
Flying Ghost King smirked, "Hmph! Just a small trick! I am the Flying Ghost King, after all! Now, let's play eagle catches chick." In an instant, he caught her two clones, "Huh? Where's the other one?"
Originally, Qin Zhongzhi drew a symbol while running, and it manifested as an invisibility cloak. At this moment, she tightly enveloped herself in the cloak, hiding in a corner, afraid to even breathe.
"Now it's getting interesting." The Ghost King clapped his hands and all the showcases of the claw machines opened. The dolls inside, with red glowing eyes, jumped out one by one. They walked or crawled with their deformed limbs, and sang nursery rhymes in a horrifying tone, "Looking, looking, looking for a friend, find a good friend..."
Fortunately, Qin Zhongzhi squatted in the corner of the cashier's counter, and the doll army has not been able to find her temporarily. Her brain is quickly thinking, trying to find a way to escape. Just then, Flying Ghost King sighed and said, "Ah, impressive! Having the boost from Boyi Kao's deity is really different. No rush, I'll wait for you..."
After a while, the Ghost King, feeling a bit bored, began to speak again, "Beauty, you see me now in this appearance, but you do not know how kind and sunlit I was in my previous life!"
Flying Ghost King paused for a moment and said, "Do you know? I used to be a well-regarded philanthropist in this neighborhood! After learning that I had an incurable disease, I donated all my savings. I purchased disability vehicles for the disabled, donated money for underprivileged children to receive education, and bought emergency supplies for disaster-stricken fellow citizens. I even signed an organ donation agreement, hoping to help those in need with all the organs I could provide..."
"But I'm such a good person, how can I not go to heaven after death?!" The furious Ghost King shouted, "I can't understand why I've been sent to hell! When the King of Hell judged me, he said he considered my good deeds in the human world and gave me the position of Ghost King. Do I need it?! I should be an angel!"
"But now I finally have the opportunity. As long as I hand over your brain to the Heavenly Court, hehe, I can become a god myself. Isn't that right? " The Flying Ghost King changed from anger to a smile again.
At this moment, Qin Zhongzhi lifted the cloak and stood up firmly, sneering, "Ha! You're really stupid. If you want to go to heaven, you should read the Bible more. How can you avoid hell if you keep thinking about it all the time?!"
"Uh! I'll make you taste hell right now! Come and die!" The Ghost King leaped forward, with long nails poised to attack Qin Zhongzhi.
Qin Zhongzhi calmly drew symbols and chanted, "Zhong Kui! Swift and decisive!" Instantly, Zhong Kui materialized,
Only saw a burly man with a leopard head and eagle eyes, a fierce and strange appearance, standing in front of him. The Flying Ghost King couldn't dodge in time and was grabbed by Zhong Kui by the throat, with his neck twisted into a thin rope with a forceful twist to the left and right. Both hands were like rolling pins, and the previously arrogant Flying Ghost King was instantly turned into noodles and swallowed by Zhong Kui. The dolls on the ground also lost control and fell.
Qin Zhongzhi jumped for joy, "Hehe, even the Flying Ghost King is no match for me!" Having said that, she walked towards the door, but strangely enough, no matter how she walked, she couldn't get out. She began searching everywhere for a mechanism, working up a sweat, but to no avail.
When Zhong Kui disappeared, the Ghost King flew back in front again, laughing loudly and saying, "Haha! Did you think it was a real escape room game? Let me tell you, in this illusion, I am not influenced by reincarnation and I am immortal!" After speaking, he raised his claws and pounced forward.
Qin Zhongzhi quickly drew another Zhong Kui, and the Flying Ghost King couldn't dodge in time, so he was twisted into a long youtiao and eaten by Zhong Kui. This time, Qin Zhongzhi became smarter and talked to the Flying Ghost King through Zhong Kui's belly, saying, "Hey, Ghost King! Look, neither of us can defeat each other. How about you let me go?!"
"No way!" said the Ghost King, immediately refusing.
After a while, Zhong Kui disappeared and the Ghost King came out again, only to see Qin Zhongzhi smiling and saying, "Are you both in a hurry? Hehe!"
Just as Emperor Feishen fixed his gaze on it, he exclaimed, "Ah!" and was promptly devoured by two Zhong Kuis. It turned out that Qin Zhongzhi had already calculated the timing and had pre-drawn two Zhong Kuis waiting for him.
Qin Zhongzhi asked him across his stomach, "How about it, Flying Ghost King? Impressed or not?"
"Ugh! Not impressed! I've never seen such a slippery person. If you have the skills, let's fight one-on-one!" the Flying Ghost King angered. But then, when he appeared again, he was shocked. The Zhongkui summoned by Qin Zhongzhi was as numerous as dumplings, far more than dolls. He directly gave up resistance...
“还玩吗小鬼王？”秦钟芝轻蔑地问道。
“哎，你也看到了，我算哪门子的王啊？！”飞身鬼王唉声叹气地说，“阎王爷一天到晚封王，地府现在到处都是鬼王！实际还不如学生会干部呢！所以，我们挤破了头也想当神仙啊！”
"Hahaha," Qin Zhongzhi laughed, "You're the saddest ghost I've ever seen!"
This time the Ghost King didn't speak. After a while, half of the Zhong Kui figures disappeared but he still didn't appear. Qin Zhongzhi tried to walk out of the door but couldn't, "Hey! Ghost King! Why did you disappear?!"
After a while, only one Zhong Kui was left. Qin Zhongzhi began to sweat all over her body, constantly swallowing saliva. The feeling of despair came back again, and she silently counted down, "3, 2, 1..." The last Zhong Kui also disappeared. Suddenly, a human-sized shark doll stood up, opened its blood-filled mouth, and flew towards her. It turned out that the ghost king had possessed the doll.
She quickly drew a torch in the air and held it in her hand to resist the attacks of the shark doll. The shark doll was burned and began to squeak, but then it stopped moving. After a while, a fire truck doll stood up and started spraying water towards the torch. The fire was extinguished, leaving Qin Zhongzhi feeling chilled to the bone.
"Hahaha!" The Flying Demon King laughed arrogantly, "I'll solve this battle!" Suddenly, the lights went out, and it became pitch dark. All the dolls stood up, their eyes glowing red as they rushed towards Qin Zhongzhi. In a moment of danger, Qin Zhongzhi closed his right eye, drew a talisman in the air, and shouted, "Fire Dragon! Quick as an urgent order!"
A fire dragon soared into the sky and spewed flames several yards towards the doll. Due to the destructive power of the fire dragon, the illusion quickly turned into a sea of fire. Qin Zhongzhi had to crouch on the cashier's desk to seek shelter. Waves of burnt smell and smoke wafted in, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
Finally, the fire dragon disappeared, but the fire did not go out. Qin Zhongzhi started to cough violently, and a voice from the flying demon king came from nowhere, "Haha! You are about to be roasted!"
"Hmph! The time is almost up, I'm about to go home, and you're going to be furious!" Qin Zhongzhi shouted.
"Is that so? Let me tell you some bad news, the illusion is not bound by resets, so if you can't get out, you'll be trapped here forever!" Ghost King Yang Yang said, gloating.
Qin Zhongzhi was about to draw a talisman when Ghost King descended from the sky and pinned her to the table. His claws pierced through both her hands and he laughed maniacally, saying, "Hahaha, go ahead and keep drawing! Your mind is mine!"
"Ha, Gui Gui, look behind!" Qin Zhongzhi sneered.
"Ah! Why is it you again!" The Flying Ghost King turned his head and saw another Zhong Kui standing in the fire. Zhong Kui pulled him over and roasted him in the fire.
Qin Zhongzhi struggled to get up and wiggled her toes, saying, "As a beautiful teenage talismancer, of course I can draw talismans with my toes!" But the pain in her hands, coupled with the scorching heat, almost overwhelmed her. She pleaded again, "Hey! Ghost King! Now that the dolls have been burned, you have nowhere to possess. Coming out will only lead to death. Give up, okay? Let's each go our separate ways!"
"Each returns to their own home? Ha!" The Flying Ghost King sneered, "I once had a happy family. My wife was even more beautiful than you, and my child..."
Tears filled the Flying Ghost King's eyes as he spoke, "My daughter was only 5 years old when I left the mortal world! After I departed, my wife formed a new family with another man, but I don't blame her. It was too difficult for her to raise a child alone. My daughter loves to come here to catch dolls, so I stay here. Whenever she comes to catch them, I make sure she always succeeds. She is always so happy, and I believe she knows I have never left..."
Qin Zhongzhi also cried, "Do you know? I once had a good father too. He was a lawyer who was killed by evil people while fighting for justice for the victims... I don't know where he is now, whether he has been reincarnated, become an angel, or turned into a ghost king like you. But today, seeing you, I suddenly feel that becoming a ghost is not so scary. How I wish my father is still by my side, even if he is a ghost?"
Zhong Kui disappeared, and the ghost king stood in the fire unscathed despite being completely burnt. He asked casually, "No more drawing Zhong Kui this time?"
Qin Zhongzhi looked at him earnestly and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?!" the Ghost King said, with a crying voice.
As Qin Zhongzhi laughed, she started crying and said, "I finally understand what Boyi Kang meant by no distinction. No matter how terrifying you look, it can't change the fact that... you are a good father! In my heart, there is no difference between you and an angel!"
Flying Ghost King stood in the fire, crying and crying, but then laughed, "Haha! I lost, I completely lost to you, Boyi Kao!"
"You didn't lose to Boyi Kao, this is your own choice," Qin Zhongzhi said, with wide-open eyes, telling him.
After a while, the illusion and the flames disappeared together, and Qin Zhongzhi and the Flying Ghost King returned to reality. It was already the next morning. When the employees of the doll machine shop and sporadic customers saw Qin Zhongzhi sitting at the cash register with disheveled hair, and the terrifying-looking Flying Ghost King, they screamed in horror, "Ghost!" They were scared and were about to run away. Dr. Jia, who had been guarding the door, rushed into the doll machine shop, intending to take the life of the Flying Ghost King...
At this moment, a beam of light flashed and I transformed into a body of light, blocking Dr. Jia's attack. Then, I gently moved the joystick of the claw machine, causing all mortals to resonate with the joystick.
"Who are you?" Dr. Jia asked me.
"Shh!" I told him, "He is no longer a ghost."
Then I approached the Flying Ghost King, and he immediately knelt down, crying and asking, "God, is it you? Does Heaven still want me? I am a sinful man!"
I nodded and carried him up, passing through layers of steel and concrete, until we reached the sunlight. I told him, "Follow the light to the City of the Celestial Books."
He felt the warmth of the sun and watched me disappear into the air with joy...
I returned to the claw machine shop, fixing the joystick in place. With a flash of light, everything returned to normal, as if the battle had never happened. Qin Zhongzhi and Doctor Jia looked at me simultaneously, "Is it you?"
I nod my head and vanish into the air...
