I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

Because she still had to buy things for the academy, Su Ying asked Gu Jiu to accompany Xiao Qi to the theater, and reminded him to be careful not to let Xiao Qi scare others out of excitement, which put a lot of pressure on Gu Jiu.

After all, he wasn't very interested in those babbling operas, and Xiao Qi looked like a show-off, so it wouldn't be good if he scared the children.

Gu Jiu didn't know where the stage was, so he could only sleep on the back of the gray donkey and follow the family of three to the outside of the town.

When Gu Jiu arrived at the place, he found that the stage looked quite large and was surrounded by gray cloth. It was obvious that they didn't want people to watch the show for free.

The ticket seller was wearing a ghost face mask. Although the ghost face looked very simple and not heavily colored, with just a few strokes, it gave people a sense of horror.

Because the brushwork is simple and even somewhat casual, the facial features of the ghost face are very distorted, like the distorted face of a mental patient.

Gu Jiu looked at Xiao Qi next to him and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure the child likes watching this kind of show?"

Xiao Qi immediately responded: "What's wrong with this kind of drama? Don't you see that big-headed ghost is cute?"

Gu Jiu let out a long breath and couldn't help but doubt his own aesthetic taste.

To his surprise, he thought that with such a scary ticket seller standing there, the children would definitely not want to go in, but he didn't expect it to be just the opposite. It seemed that the children liked this kind of play very much and they all clamored to go in. Some adults were more hesitant.

The stage was built right on the river bank. The water was dark, and with the trees next to it, it naturally had an eerie feeling.

As the children insisted on watching, more and more people bought tickets and entered.

Faced with the excited Xiao Qi, Gu Jiu had no choice but to follow him in.

There were several rows of bamboo chairs in front of the stage, and quite a few people were already sitting there. When Gu Jiu saw the chairs, his legs suddenly went weak and he sat down.

As long as I can sit on it, it's fine. It would be even better if the chair was a rattan chair so I could lie down on it.

The stage also has a mysterious and dim style, with only a ray of skylight above the stage, allowing the light to be projected right onto the center of the stage.

Soon, the curtain outside the door was drawn down, indicating that the opera was about to begin.

Gu Jiu looked at the small place where there were at least thirty or forty people sitting, and he couldn't help but sigh that there were indeed too few entertainment activities in this world. Even this kind of opera had people supporting it.

Following a round of applause, the first character appeared on stage.

This person was just like the ticket seller, wearing a mask with two big heads, but her body shape was different, and she looked like a woman.

The woman came out shaking her head. The frequency of her shaking was not fast, but it gave people the feeling that the ghost on the mask had come to life.

According to common sense, even Gu Jiu would feel a little scared when seeing such a scene, but Xiao Qi and those children under ten years old all applauded excitedly.

Gu Jiu looked around and was suddenly speechless. He thought to himself, "Were you all brought up in fear?"

Oh my god, why do I feel like I can quit the group as someone who was scared when I was little?

At this time, a ballad sounded on the stage - "Wu Niang, Wu Niang, look here, your child is going to school. The teacher in the school is teaching poetry, holding a ruler in his hand..."

This is a very simple ballad, but Gu Jiu felt that the melody was very strange because it did not have any rhythmic fluctuations, as if it was always in the same tune. It felt like the intervals between the pronunciations of each word were the same, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Gu Jiu rarely feels uncomfortable, especially when he is resting.

But today he didn't feel well.

As more and more characters appeared on the stage, they all wore those large masks without exception, giving Gu Jiu the feeling that everyone performing on the stage was crazy.

Gu Jiu even felt that they were not human.

However, Xiao Qi next to him and the people watching the show in front did not show any discomfort. Instead, they watched with great interest.

At this time, Gu Jiu suddenly noticed a detail, that was the shoes of the people on the stage.

Embroidered shoes.

Without exception, they all wore embroidered shoes.

The brand new embroidered shoes looked very bright in the dim light, like blooming flowers.

If the ghost face mask had not attracted most of Gu Jiu's attention before, he would have noticed this long ago.

Seeing these pairs of shoes, Gu Jiu couldn't help but become alert because he had seen this kind of shoes before.

When she was in Niujia Village, the deceased village chief Niu was wearing this kind of shoes, which was very inconsistent with her elderly status.

Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his vision began to become as sharp as needles.

Normally, in order to save energy, every cell in his body is in a lazy state, so he is no different from an ordinary person. However, when Gu Jiu really starts to get serious, his whole temperament changes.

The air seemed a bit dull, and coupled with the ghostly opera on the stage, it really seemed like a few ghosts were celebrating.

Gu Jiu looked at the children and adults around him, as well as Xiao Qi's fanatical gaze, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking: "Hypnosis?"

Because the audience's reaction is really inconsistent with the performance on stage.

Gu Jiu remained calm, wanting to see what the other party was up to.

If it really was hypnosis that was used to bewitch people, he could easily get rid of it.

The main function of Xue Liu Jue is to ensure a person's clear mind, not to mention that it is the evolved version of Xue Liu Jue - "Xue Liu Glazed Jade Crane Power".

I’m afraid these opera singers are not good people.

At this time, Gu Jiu said to Xiao Qi beside him: "Senior Sister, is this play so good?"

"It's so beautiful! Xiaojiu, don't you think so? Look at their faces, so funny." Xiaoqi said excitedly.

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise his brows slightly, and found that it was a little different from what he had guessed. This was because Xiao Qi was still conscious and not a fool as he had imagined.

After about half an hour, this strange singing style of ghost face opera finally ended. The scene of these ghost-faced people committing crimes that Gu Jiu imagined did not happen.

Except for Gu Jiu, almost all the audience were very satisfied and kept applauding.

Along the way, Xiao Qi's reaction was normal, and he excitedly talked about how wonderful the scene was.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but question: "Don't you think that ghost face is a little scary?"

Xiao Qi said, "It was a bit at first, but later on I didn't think so anymore. I just thought it was funny. The opera music was also very entertaining."

At this moment, Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, thinking to himself, "Could it be that there's nothing wrong with the play, but my aesthetic taste is different from that of the people in this world?"

However, when thinking of that scene from the opera and those pairs of embroidered shoes that looked very similar to Village Chief Niu's, Gu Jiu still felt something was wrong.

At the same time, he also remembered another thing.

Chapter 27 Doorman Gu Jiuye

At night, Gu Jiu did not sleep in his room, but placed the rattan chair at Xiao Qi's door.

The ghost face show during the day today really left a deep impression on him. He had doubted his own aesthetic taste, but he still felt that the reactions of the audience, including Xiaoqi, were problematic.

Gu Jiu remembered that Gu Xiaoxiao had left home and gone to Liu's house without anyone notifying him. He was worried that this would happen again, so he became the doorman for his junior sister.

He is a doorman, not a master, and his surname is not Qin.

Two days ago, everything was normal. Xiaoqi ate and drank as usual, and even dreamed of boxing.

But at midnight on the third day, Gu Jiu was awakened by the creaking sound of a door opening.

As his energy gradually improved and he had something on his mind, Gu Jiu didn't sleep well these past few days and always woke up quickly.

Xiao Qi opened the door, his eyes looked a little empty, but Gu Jiu, who was lying there, did not see this.

He could only feel that Xiao Qi was standing behind him, but he had no idea what he was doing.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Xiao Qi glanced at Gu Jiu with his empty eyes, then he gently turned sideways, left the room and walked out of the courtyard.

She was wearing a white nightgown and looked like a female ghost in the night.

As soon as the other party walked out of the yard, Gu Jiu stood up from the rattan chair and followed quietly.

As he expected, something went wrong with Xiaoqi.

In the thin mist, Xiaoqi's figure was looming and landed silently, as if she was really a female ghost walking on the road at night.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Gu Jiu followed behind him, his steps light and graceful, and he landed silently.

It is hard to imagine that Gu Jiu, who has been lying down like a turtle for a long time, can have such a light and agile movement.

At this moment, even the most agile cat couldn't do better than him.

Xiaoqi went straight out of the academy, passed the bamboo forest, and headed towards Xinghua Town.

Gu Jiu has been learning the tracking method from a game suitable for all ages called "Tail", which he played before, and followed the other party at a distance.

Xiao Qi looked back once or twice, but did not notice Gu Jiu's presence.

Just when Gu Jiu thought everything was going well, Xiao Qi suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye!

How could it be so fast?

Seeing this, Gu Jiu's figure suddenly turned into a flash of lightning, rushed over, and then immediately rushed back with an embarrassed look on his face.

Damn, it turns out Xiaoqi was squatting to pee, and the wheat field just blocked his view.

Gu Jiu, who suddenly witnessed this scene, felt extremely embarrassed and thought to himself, "How can you take off your pants and pee while being controlled? Senior Sister Xiaoqi, are you still conscious?"

Not long after, Xiaoqi stood up again and walked forward.

She didn't take the main road to town, but some small paths overgrown with weeds.

Not long after, Gu Jiu saw the river glowing faintly in the night.

It is indeed like this!

Gu Jiu had previously guessed that if Xiao Qi was bewitched, he would most likely come to the place where he had listened to the opera before.

The stage was built by the river.

Sure enough, in less than half an incense stick of time, a fairly spacious stage and a tent surrounded by it appeared in front of them.

In the dark night, a faint light flickered in the tent.

At this time, Xiao Qi walked inside and Gu Jiu immediately followed.

He glanced outside the shed and found that there were already quite a few people standing inside.

All these people knelt on the ground, and on the stage stood an extremely strange sculpture.

The sculpture is black and made of what looks like burnt wood. Its body spirals upwards like an upright centipede, but its head is wearing a ghost mask.

Under the flickering candlelight on the stage, the sculpture looked like a giant centipede with a ghostly face, so twisted and morbid.

At this moment, Gu Jiu had an illusion that there might be a bottomless abyss under the mask, and he didn't know how many terrible things were buried there.

It can be seen from the people kneeling under the stage with dull eyes that this is an extremely strange sacrifice.

Seeing that Xiao Qi had already knelt down, Gu Jiu walked in calmly and squatted beside Xiao Qi.

Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sword eyes instantly swept across the entire scene in front of the stage.

There was no one here. The people who performed operas during the day were not here. The only thing on the entire stage was the extremely distorted ghost face sculpture.

The sculpture looks dead, but it always gives people the feeling that it will come alive at any time.

After discovering that Xiao Qi was muttering something, Gu Jiu quietly placed his palm on the other's vest.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle "Snow Flow Glazed Jade Crane Power" entered Xiao Qi's body, bringing a feeling of extreme comfort.

Xiao Qi woke up from a chaotic state of confusion and wanted to hum with comfort, but Gu Jiu quietly covered his mouth.

When Xiao Qi saw the strange things around him, he was so scared that he wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered tightly by Gu Jiu and he could not make any sound.

After noticing that Gu Jiu was winking at her, Xiao Qi couldn't help but nodded and calmed down.

Gu Jiu released his left hand, which was stained with Xiao Qi's saliva, and pretended to be terrified. He whispered, "Senior Sister, we were bewitched by a ghost and ended up here without realizing it. I'm so scared. You have to save me."

Xiao Qi was scared to death, but after seeing how dependent Gu Jiu was on her, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu. With me here, no one can touch you."

Her body was shaking as she said this.

Seeing the strange sculpture on the stage and the almost morbid worship of the audience below, Xiao Qi panicked and asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Jiu's acting skills were amazing. With tears in her eyes, she said, "These people are just like us. They were tricked by the show. I don't know how to wake them up. Senior Sister, should we save them?"

Xiao Qi was born to be a hero, and when he saw so many children here, he couldn't help but say, "Of course we have to save them."

When she said this, she felt so guilty that the hairs on her body stood up.

This was her first time encountering a ghost, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. Moreover, these people were kneeling on the ground, reciting some extremely monotonous sentences with wooden expressions. No matter how she knocked or hit them, there was no response, which was really creepy.

In fact, Xiaoqi didn't know that the opera she heard the day before yesterday had this tone, without any ups and downs. It sounded very weird and scary, but she was very happy listening to it at that time.

Gu Jiu nodded, somewhat at a loss, "Then how do we save him?"
