CH 104

【The grey-haired young man looked ahead in a trance as he protected his mother behind him.

In front of him, an upside-down female ghost was watching him quietly.

A bit of affection was vaguely seen on the smashed face.

He did not know the reason, so he followed his instinct and took a few steps forward, wanting to see the female ghost closer.

Stab——

“Ugh——! M, mom?”

Red blood oozed out of his abdomen. The young man bewilderedly looked down at the bloodstained wound before he turned his head to his mother who stabbed him.

“You b*st*rd—— Heh, a bunch of fools! Just go to hell!” The woman crazily yelled.

AAAAAHHHHHHH——!!!

Seeing the blood flowing out, the female ghost let out a shrill scream. It was so loud that it almost pierced the surrounding walls.

The young man fell to the dusty ground. In a blur, he saw his mother’s body torn by the female ghost.

Mom—— Why?

The female ghost’s hideous face was getting closer and closer, but the young man had lost the strength to move.

My son——

The female ghost spoke softly. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.】

—— From《Bus of Hell》

“AAAAHHH—— Help! Help!!”

The piercing screams from the other side of the hole slowly became louder.

Apparently, someone was coming over.

The first person that came out was a fat young woman. Zhou Yu recognized her at a glance, it was his sister, Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi was in shock. After crawling out of the hole, her clothes were covered with unknown stains and blood, making her looked rather sloppy.

“It’s you!?”

Zhou Zhi turned her head and saw Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, looking at her with disdain.

Zhou Yu just looked at her indifferently.

Now that he had seen through this amazing family’s real face, he naturally would not act kindly again.

If it was the old him, he must have stepped forward, helped her, and then got scorned by them.

On the other hand, Lao Qi saw this scene and immediately knew Zhou Yu had a bad relationship with this woman.

So, who should we stick to?

Lao Qi and Liu Cai looked at each other tacitly.

Nonsense! If you already see the luck of the TV drama protagonist, of course, you must follow him!

How can a little villain who can’t even live to the end of the third episode save them?

Being able to live in the reincarnation space where many experts gathered, the two clearly could adapt quickly.

At critical moments, self-esteem was not important.

No matter which period, only the one who survived to the end could be called the winner.

In short, they were professional ass-kissers.

Zhou Zhi’s face was full of tears.

She looked at her brother, who used to speak softly, treated her perfunctorily. She cried, “Brother! Why didn’t you speak?! What the hell happened to you?! You’ve changed! Wuwuwu!”

She was in a fragile state now and could not bear being treated coldly by her brother.

She bawled loudly as if she had suffered a great grievance.

“Zhou Yu! What have you done to your sister?! You b*st*rd!”

Lu Meng, who just came out of the hole, happened to come across this scene.

Looking at her weak daughter Zhou Zhi and the indifferent son of a b*tch Zhou Yu, she immediately became angry.

After hearing this, the two, who originally intended to fight for Zhou Yu to increase their favorability, paused in entanglement.

What? They’re family?

This… what to do?

They were afraid it was not appropriate to curse at those people.

When Zhou Yu heard the voice of his biased so-called mother, he immediately felt sick.

So in the end, why is this hole connected to the opposite side?!

It even led these guys over.

So annoying.

Zhou Yu did not want to start a never-ending quarrel with this woman, so he did not even look at her and regarded her as a transparent person.

“Let’s go, don’t you want to go out?”

Zhou Yu beckoned Lao Qi and Liu Cai to follow him before turning directly to the door.

Lu Meng saw that she got ignored again. Her well-maintained face twisted with anger.

“Stop! You, unfilial son! How dare you treat your mother like this?!”

Unfortunately, another person came. It was Zhou Yu’s father, Zhou Guoren.

When he saw the quarrel between his wife and son, he immediately wanted to uphold their authority as parents —— In his opinion, this was his duty as a family head.

Although he usually did not interfere, he would do it when he felt it was necessary.

Especially now that life and death were at stake, any internal conflict must be eliminated.

“Aaah! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don’t block the way, Oldman!”

A young man drilled out of the hole and pushed Zhou Guoren who wanted to reprimand Zhou Yu.

“You!”

Zhou Guoren, who got shoved, immediately wanted to curse the preparator.

But seeing the young man’s tall and strong body, he swallowed the curse back.

Forget it, there’s no need to argue with a rogue!

Standing upright, Zhou Guoren looked at his son Zhou Yu and after counting all the stifling things he had just suffered, his anger rose again.

“Stop! You, unfilial son!”

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger.

He turned around and said, “Unfilial! Unfilial! You f*cking say that all day long! Do you have a new word? For example, son of b*tch or something? Haha!”

Zhou Yu looked at his stern and selfish father with ridicule. Zhou Guoren always let Lu Meng used some weird reason to punish him, saying that beating was needed to create a filial son.

So what?

When Lu Meng asked him to shift the high school scholarship that he had obtained so hard for other purposes, he tacitly agreed.

And thus, his parents, who were amiable to outsiders, shattered his dream to go to school.

They also kicked him out of the house, saying that he needed to temper himself. This made Zhou Yu, who was still an underage child, needed to ask everywhere to find a job for a living.

“Y, you actually dare to speak like that! You, un-! Un-!”

Zhou Guoren got lost for words as he swallowed back the words ‘unfilial son’.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Guoren’s red face and smiled, “You’re already this old, but you can’t even curse at someone. What an innocent person~ Don’t waste your breath!”

After a while, the room was filled with people. All of them were restless and covered with blood. Their bodies were injured whether minor or severe.

“AAAAHHHH——”

A frightening scream could be heard from the other side.

The sound of torn limbs and splattered blood made the people fell into panic again.

“It’s all that man’s fault! If it wasn’t for him, we would still be looking for clues!” A glamorous young woman complained.

“What should we do next?! Wuwu!” A young boy cried.

Glasses held his girlfriend close to him, hiding his expression in the shadows.

“What can we do? We need to keep looking for clues!”

A gentle-looking middle-aged man stood up and looked at the crowd, “I repeat again, don’t touch anything in this room—— Hey! You! Yes, you! Are you deaf?!”

The crowd turned and stared at the little grey-haired gangster in the corner of the room.

Zhou Yu glanced at the paintbrush in his hand and embarrassedly touched his nose. Feeling the crowd’s animosity, he put the paintbrush down.

He had never painted before, but somehow he thought the brush was really attractive —— he wanted to touch it.

In the end, he could not hold his urge.

“This… I’m sorry. I wasn’t with you before, I won’t——”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was interrupted by Liu Cai’s loud voice.

“How dare you?! Brother Zhou just touched a paintbrush, what’s your problem? You just want to bully Brother Zhou, right?!”

Liu Cai still had a disposable bandage on her twisted nose, but it could not conceal her powerful queen-like aura.

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Cai in surprise.

He really did not expect this person would stand up for him.

“Just what did Brother Zhou do to you? Heh, you choose to bully Brother Zhou because there’s no one who backs him up, right?” Lao Qi also frowned and stared at the crowd fiercely.

Coupled with Lao Qi’s weird tattoos, his words really scared everyone away.

In another dimension, the clown was sitting elegantly on a luxurious sofa.

Watching this scene, his white-gloved fingers tapped his mask lightly.

Tap——

Tap——

He had a great idea.

If his youth felt helpless, his appearance certainly would be more meaningful.

Then——

Let’s make the script more interesting.

Rumble——

Without anyone knowing, the whole apartment building changed.

The stairs flipped——

The ceiling turned upside down——

The exit was blocked——

The dilapidated corridors were redecorated, and the closed rooms were opened.

Just in a blink of an eye.

Countless identical rooms appeared on the endless corridors.

From the outside, the whole apartment building floated in an unscientific way, floating in the darkness.

In a nutshell, the apartment looked like—— a messy Rubik’s cube.

Inside the room.

The corners of Lao Qi and Liu Cai’s mouths were slightly hooked as they stared at the terrified crowd.

The next moment, the two people put away their aggressiveness and ran to Zhou Yu, asking if he needed something.

Like two qualified lackeys.

Sensing the two’s flattery, Zhou Yu felt a little uneasy.

Avoiding Liu Cai’s hand that wanted to touch his shoulder, Zhou Yu blinked and said, “It’s okay, there’s nothing to worry about. And… thank you and no need to give me a massage.”

Hearing this, Liu Cai immediately retracted her hand and flatteringly asked, “So, Brother, shall we go now?”

Lao Qi also looked expectantly, “Yeah, that’s right, Brother! Let’s just ignore these stupid people and leave this building quickly!”

Although they did not know the plot, they could judge from their experience. The sooner they went out, the better.

“Bah! Where are you going? You have no clues at all, wouldn’t it be suicide to go back? Really, is it not enough pretending to be a master[1]?”

The buck-toothed woman hiding in the crowd looked at the group of three with contempt and muttered quietly.

The room was not big, so the buck-toothed woman’s voice actually spread throughout the room.

After hearing this, someone could not help laughing, “Pfft——”

The first laughter created a chain reaction.

After a while, everyone laughed, even the fear in their heart was suppressed.

Everyone looked at the small group contemptuously, as if looking at three fools.

From their point of view, the buck-toothed woman was right. They had no clue, so it was suicide to go out.

These thugs were just pretending to be masters!

Everyone examined Liu Cai’s cool outfit, then her distorted and twisted nose. The contempt in their eyes became even worse.

They just wanted to show off their might, no wonder they were so fierce![2]

There is no way thugs like them would serve a spring chicken[3]. It seemed they had nothing to do with that little ruffian Zhou Yu!

Lu Meng obviously thought the same. The mockery in her eyes was almost overflowing.

“Zhou Yu! I advise you! Hurry up and apologize to your sister! Then, maybe I might accept you back——”

Lu Meng arrogantly said those sentences as if she were giving in charity.

Zhou Yu put on a false smile and answered, “Thanks, no need!”

After that, he turned around and went to the door.

“Wait! Young man!”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man, who had reprimanded Zhou Yu, called him out with a kind expression on his face.

“How can a family have an overnight feud? Young man, stop throwing tantrums and quickly apologize to your family. Let’s go find clues together! It’s very dangerous here. I’m afraid you’ll have an accident if you go alone!”

He really cared about this young man —— although he was a little rebellious, he was still young and needed protection.

Come to think of it, if that child is still here, he should be older than this young man…

The middle-aged person, Guo An, recalled the past with complicated eyes.

Watching Guo An appeared in front of him, the clown got closer with interest as if listening to something.

Then, he laughed softly.

Long time no see, my——

Hypocrite father.

Zhou Yu ignored the middle-aged man and went straight out of the room.

Lao Qi and Liu Cai suppressed their excitement and quickly followed him.

Yay! Nailed it!

We’re pro-ass-kissers, what’s so difficult to brush off favorability?

With this guy around, we’re not afraid of anything!

Just lie down and win!

After all, judging from the series of luck just now, Zhou Yu must be the real son of destiny!

No matter how dangerous it was, it was useless in front of a walking koi[4]!

Anyway, this thigh was worth hugging!

“Lao Qi! You’re awesome!”

“You too, Liu Cai!”

The two looked at each other, showing a knowing smile.

“Same to you!”

Zhou Yu glanced helplessly at the two and reminded softly, “Let’s go.”

After speaking, he took a few steps forward and reached the corridor.

Looking around, Zhou Yu stopped hesitantly.

Am… I walking on the right path?

Pa——

Lights lit up and completely illuminated the apartment building.

The wooden floors were as clean as new. It even exuded a unique fragrance of wood.

From Zhou Yu’s perspective, the entire corridor seemed to have no end, extending to a far distance.

The author has something to say: 

I’m sorry, I sent the small theatre late again. For the sake of this chapter, please forgive me QAQ ying, ying, ying~

Small theatre:

Clown: I want to be a hero who saves a damsel in distress. (smile)

Spiritual world’s consciousness: (old_father_s_vicissitude_smile.jpg) What a scheming child. Alas… Are you really my child?

Cthulhu world’s consciousness: (tangled) Mmm… Spiritual, this isn’t important now. You need to go find Future!

Spiritual world’s consciousness: (turning head) Hmm? Xiao Weiwei[5]? What does he do? (Shocked.jpg) What the h*ll! This is Xiao Weiwei!?

Future world’s consciousness: (buried in a pile of landmines) Leave me alone. I just wanna die. (closing eyes peacefully)

Spiritual world’s consciousness: (what_s_wrong_with_this_world.jpg) No, this isn’t right! How can Future change so much, he even has a beard! (facepalming) And he actually wants to commit suicide? Where’s Nightmare? He doesn’t care?

Cthulhu world’s consciousness: (lighting a cigarette) Oh, don’t mention it. Yesterday, Nightmare left this small theatre, and then Future became like this. He used a lot of money to buy landmines… (sniffing) Huh? What is this smell?

Spiritual world’s consciousness: Uh, it seems Xiao Weiwei is detonating the landmines…

Cthulhu and Spiritual: …Landmines aren’t like this.

The whole place became silent for a while.

Cthulhu and Spiritual: AAAAAHHHH!!! Run away!

Boom——

【The small theatre has been blown up and is being repaired, so stay tuned!】

[1] : In the raws, it said “装不够的x” which means “pretending to be an X”. I don’t know what X is, but I guess it’s master/pro.

[2] : 看上去就像是个卖的，怪不得那么凶!, tbh I don’t understand this sentence… So, if any of you understand, please write it in the comment.

[3] : 一个毛都没长齐的小子, translated as a spring chicken. In the raws, it literally said “a lad that hadn’t grown hair” which means young people in Chinese, so I try to find a similar idiom in English which is “a spring chicken”.

[4] : In Chinese, koi is the symbol of wealth, happiness, luck, etc. So, yeah, a walking koi basically means a lucky person.

[5] : 小未未, translated as Xiao Weiwei. This is Future’s nickname.
