we are just monsters

Chapter 139 Kowtow to the Witch

Xia Xiaoman shook her hair and leaned back on the sofa. Those past events emerged from her memory, and then gradually faded away. After experiencing life and death, there was nothing she couldn't let go of.

The most interesting thing is to listen to an immortal person bragging and criticizing on such an ordinary evening.

"Is Wu Zetian beautiful?"

"I don't know. I've only seen her as an old lady. People are almost like that, you know, a little domineering... For that kind of person, it doesn't matter if she is beautiful or not."

Gu Cheng tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything, after all, too many years had passed.

Forgetting is sometimes a kind of sadness.

"Is Yang Yuhuan a fat man?"

"A hundred catties, big breasts."

"?"

"Sorry, I only remember big breasts." Gu Cheng said.

"It looks really big."

Xia Xiaoman closed his eyes, "In another 1000 years, what will I look like in your mouth?"

"do not know."

"You can try to imagine it."

"That won't be known until 1000 years later."

Gu Cheng brought out a plate of homemade tofu, and went back to the kitchen to continue his work.

Lilith came back at some point, lying on the window sill to peep.

Xia Xiaoman told her to come in if she wanted to eat.

"I ate at Zhou Xiaotian's." Lilith said.

Today Zhou Xiaotian cooked pork ribs, they were delicious, and she didn't come back until she was full.

Originally, she wanted to stay there overnight, but Zhou Xiaotian drove her out.

Xia Xiaoman turned his head sideways.

A black cat was lying on the edge of the window sill, looking pitiful for some reason.

"Great witch, do you know some famous people? Didn't you also live for hundreds of years?"

"Hundreds of years ago, he was chased by the church in the first half, and he was chased by me in the second half. It's a ghost to know each other." Gu Cheng said.

Lilith's face was ugly, she chanted a spell in a low voice, and secretly pointed at Gu Cheng.

"Your transformation from pig to dog is of no use to me."

"I didn't!"

Lilith turned her head and ran away to see the progress of that fool in Montenegro's missile research.

After eating, Gu Cheng took a book from the table to read, which was also "Yi Mao" borrowed from Zhou Xiaotian. In fact, he mainly read the "undersea eyes" attached at the back. If you don't use it for a long time, some things will be forgotten. Learning new things by reviewing the past is something we often do.

Xia Xiaoman sat next to him with her legs curled up and watched together, quietly and silently, the warm lights gave a sense of the tranquility of time.

The black cat in the middle sneaked a glance at the window and ran away again. In fact, Heishan asked her to come and see what the old ghost was doing.

Hearing that Gu Cheng was reading a book, Heishan felt a little anxious. He frowned and continued to study the calculation of laws, one-dimensional equations, and the word 'equation' is also high-end in his opinion. This is a very profound knowledge. Every time a problem is solved , he would clenched his fist excitedly.

It was late at night, but he was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Gu Cheng was already ready to go to sleep, he put a stick of incense in the incense burner, took a shower and went back to the bedroom.

The female ghost walked through the door and sat on the head of his bed with her back, feeling a little eerie.

"Why not be a hanged ghost?"

"You like that, you should have said it earlier." Xia Xiaoman gave him a doting look, and floated to the roof.

A pair of white legs hang down naturally.

"Old Gu, no matter what you do to me, you will stay in this room. No third person will know. After I leave, this will be an eternal secret. Even if someone knows, it will become a secret after hundreds of years. Secrets, even yourself will forget, why not?"

"Why don't you just go out."

"You'll be sorry."

"will not."

"Yes, you will never meet another me, I am unique."

"..."

Gu Cheng looked at the calf hanging in front of his eyes, and remained silent.

"Old Gu, you can really try."

He raised his head and saw Xia Xiaoman's crooked smile.

Like the idiot dragon king in the online advertisement.

But it quickly receded, and his calm expression returned.

Gu Cheng almost laughed angrily, "Pretend, keep pretending."

"Pretend what?"

Gu Cheng didn't speak, turned over and closed his eyes.

"From a psychological point of view, human beings can liberate their perceptual thinking at night, and all their thoughts will be subjective, prone to sentimentality, and make impulsive decisions. Decisions at night often follow the inner self-will, is The expression of primitive instinct. After daytime, rational thinking returns, and what you see is no longer just your own needs, but more objective things and contradictions including subjective.

It is extremely easy to be indifferent to anything during the day, but it is another matter at night.

Is it the same with monsters? "

"No."

"I don't think so either."

Xia Xiaoman's eyes were bright, she came down from the roof, lay down gently on the edge, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort.

How long has she been lying down?

In fact, I don't feel tired at ordinary times, it's just a psychological effect.

"It's an inch." Gu Cheng said.

"Such a small side, it looks like you are stingy."

"Is it reasonable to lie on the same bed with Master?"

"The old man is quite feudal. Did you make sense when you peeked at my legs?"

"..."

"No more to say?"

"First of all, you have to hang on it, and I will see it as soon as I open my eyes. This is not called stealing."

"What about the last time you were in your school office? I didn't hang it up, why are you looking down secretly?"

"..."

"I didn't touch you again. It seems you are stingy, little friend Gu Cheng, you must know how to share, you have such a big bed, and you don't know how to give way to grandma."

Xia Xiaoman looked at the ceiling in the darkness and blinked, "Hey, Lao Gu, do you think we look like the old men and women in the village who couldn't sleep and bicker in the middle of the night?"

It's a bit similar, but the old man and the old lady only say a word every other day.

She remembered that when she was alive, she took Zhou Xiaotian with her, and occasionally the master and apprentice could not sleep in the middle of the night, and they would whisper some words.

"Are you waiting for me to do something, and then you can't bear it and just throw me out, or save me?"

There was a smile in Xia Xiaoman's voice, "It's useless to admit it or not, Lao Gu, I know what you're thinking."

"Then tell me, what am I thinking about now?"

"If only I could live forever," she said. "Unfortunately, I can't."

There was moonlight outside the window, and a black cat jumped across the rooftops in the distance, lurking in the night.

"Guess right?"

"Wrong." Gu Cheng said.

"I can't be wrong."

"But you were wrong."

Nothing to say all night.

In the early morning, Gu Cheng turned sideways, and saw Xia Xiaoman lying sideways on the other side, with his back to him.

"Master, good morning." Xia Xiaoman didn't look back, but knew that he had woken up.

Gu Cheng just looked at her quietly.

"Hey, I'm just a mortal, forget it, I'm reincarnated, don't miss me."

Xia Xiaoman floated up from the bed, smiled and said, "I'm satisfied, I have no regrets."

"If you are really reincarnated, I'll kowtow to Lilith."

"Really?" Lilith called out the window.

Xia Xiaoman and Gu Cheng turned their heads at the same time and looked at the black cat.

Lilith tensed up and looked up into the distance, "Strange, what was I going to do just now? Oh yes, I'm going to have breakfast, passing by..."
