I’ll Quit Being a God Chapter 20: Boss, who are you?
Hearing what Ibaraki Doji said, the store manager narrowed his eyes and nodded:
"That's right. It's not surprising what the slick guy said. Although it's not a big deal, but eating a king's meal at my place... Haha, it seems that it has never happened before - well, you are all free of charge today, conditions You’re helping me get my share of Hua Lao back, double the amount!”
"Oh!"
Ibaraki Doji immediately became energetic and geared up, and his originally red arms became more and more vivid.
"Then, let's go find Hua Lao and have a drink."
Shu Tun smiled a little psychedelically, and picked up his blue wine gourd.
The two ghost kings walked out one after the other.
The Otengu bowed to the store manager and left without saying a word. When he stepped out, his black wings spread out and he disappeared into the night.
The hair-eating ghost hesitated for a moment and then stood up.
Of course she is not looking for Slippery Gui. At her level, she is not even as good as Slippery Gui's younger brother.
She simply wanted to leave because the shop owner issued an eviction order.
At this time, the shopkeeper spoke again: "Wait a minute."
"Sir, shopkeeper?" The hair-eating ghost made a move, with some confusion on his face.
"I have heard all the previous conversations. This child's arrangement is quite suitable for you. Although he does not think about you wholeheartedly, he is not lying to you. It is better than you wandering around alone. The final commitment may be temporary. It’s impulsive, but it’s also an opportunity, so please consider it carefully.”
"Yes, sir." The hair-eating ghost agreed quickly, "I know that my current state is dangerous, but..."
"As long as I'm here, it's okay to just say it." Behind the plainness is unparalleled confidence.
"Yes. In fact, I also thought about building a cooperative relationship with humans, but the first time I met the human I liked, I was almost killed by her - at the school he just mentioned. Obviously I already live there. For two years, I have been very careful not to affect humans."
Yes, it’s another straight woman’s fault.
The reason why the hair-eating ghost is so afraid of people is also because of the psychological shadow left by the past.
This is just a one-sided statement from a food-eating ghost, but someone thinks that this is what Kagura Mio would do.
Recalling what Kagura Mio said during the chat, Guan Junyan explained:
"That has a more complicated reason..."
Then he briefly talked about the process of coeducational schooling, and then focused on Kagura Mio's state when she first entered the school.
The yin energy accumulated in the school at that time was far heavier than it is now, and the world under the table was far less peaceful than it is now.
At the beginning of the new semester, just after the winter vacation, the school has been empty for a long time, which happens to be the best paradise for ghosts.
There are a lot of ghosts, the chairman was frightened in the past, and the elders in the family did encounter a strong ghost during the first ghost exorcism. Under the combined effect of various factors, Kagura Mio chose a one-size-fits-all method of thunder.
To be fair, Guan Junyan thinks there is no problem with this approach. He would make the same choice in other situations, and would not think about what if he kills a good ghost by mistake?
You are a good ghost, don’t hang out with the evil ghosts. Don’t you know there is a saying about joining the evil spirits? ——From the perspective of God, this statement is obviously biased and irresponsible, but Guan Junyan is not God, and it is difficult to put himself in the shoes of ghosts.
But the torturer came to the door, and he was indeed a good ghost who had never harmed anyone. Locking someone up would not shirk responsibility.
"My friend's actions were indeed too reckless and she did something wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf. If you think this is not enough, I will ask her to apologize to you in person and provide corresponding compensation. Please believe that, We have absolutely no ill intentions, and we do recognize our mistakes. Think about it carefully, has she hurt you again since then?"
"Well..." The Hair-Eating Ghost thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No."
"So, please give us a chance and give yourself a chance."
"I understand. I need some time. After I make a decision, I will go to Sakura to find you."
"Okay."
Guan Junyan doesn't talk nonsense.
The food-haired ghost also didn't say much. After bowing to the shopkeeper, he left the shop.
When the store door closed again, the owner finally focused his attention on Guan Junyan and asked:
"What if she doesn't agree?"
"If you don't force it, you won't be able to force it. It won't be sweet if you force it."
"If she is dissatisfied with your actions, she wants to seek justice for her companions and make your friend pay for his life."
"I will tell her clearly that it is impossible."
The question was very pointed, but Guan Junyan was calm. What he just said was his last effort.
Maybe it was influenced by the indifferent attitude of the shop owner, or maybe it was the spicy set meal before that made him work up a sweat and relieve his stress.
Now Guan Junyan is not at all nervous as when he entered the store, even if what he sees in front of him is something that scares both the two ghost kings.
"See you someday——"
"We are strangers."
"If she wants revenge, or becomes a ghost."
"Cut!"
Guan Junyan answered without any hesitation.
As I said before, he is not God or a saint. Human beings cannot be equal, let alone all living beings.
If you want to kill my friend, I can only kill you.
I don’t know where the real person is, but the store manager who appeared to be ordinary suddenly laughed:
"Hahahahahaha, look for Shuyuanwwwww.zhaoshuyuuk.com to behead him! Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, that Meihe, a submissive and unassertive girl, could actually give birth to a son like you."
Guan Junyan's eyes flashed.
Meihe.
The name of my mother is Meihe.
Carefully asked: "Do you know my mother?"
The shop owner didn't hide it either: "She worked for me for a period of time when she was in school. I remember that Hua Lao wanted to introduce her son to her at that time, but she didn't expect that he ended up following a young onmyoji from Okutama. Haven't you heard her mention it?"
Confirmed beyond a doubt.
This also means that the shop owner already knows Guan Junyan's identity.
The latter is not surprising. The committee's decision on punishment is public. Guan Junyan is more famous now than when he was selected for T4. The entire extraordinary world knows that the head of the Guan family was released because he violated fundamental laws.
The question is about the relationship between the shop owner and Cheap Mother - Guan Junyan thought for a while and answered ambiguously.
"No. Maybe there was, but I can't remember."
"Yes, it's been twenty years." The shop owner sat down opposite Guan Junyan and exhaled quietly.
For a while, the two looked at each other in silence.
The shop owner fell into memories, while Guan Junyan didn't know what to say.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the shop owner said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Since the shop owner is an acquaintance of my mother, he is also my elder, how should I call you."
For elders, being polite is never a bad thing.
"Just like everyone else, just call me the shopkeeper. As for my name... I haven't used it for a long, long time. It has been so long that I can't even remember it. I only remember that it is longer than the existence of Hua Lao and Red and Blue. Long."
Guan Junyan: "..."
Boss, who are you?
