Sure enough, nothing else happened that night. As soon as the sky was bright, some players pushed the back door open eagerly, and found that the door could be opened.
“It’s safe to leave!” They exclaimed in surprise, waking up everyone who was sleeping.
Only then did everyone realize that it was dawn and the rain had stopped. The ground was dry, and it didn’t look like it had rained during the whole night at all.
Some people tentatively walked to the door, but they were a little afraid to go out, for fear that the sudden death from last night would occur again.
Gu Mozhi didn’t care about this, he picked up the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and walked out through the back door. Outside the back door was a courtyard, surrounded by a circle of rooms, which were originally intended to be bedrooms for the players. He randomly chose one and went in, put the little girl on the bed, saw that there was a small couch outside, and slept there directly.
In the daytime, there would still be danger, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving the little girl alone in the house, so he simply left it like this. In case something happened, he could still quickly rush over.
He didn’t sleep well last night, and Gu Mozhi had just eaten and wasn’t very hungry, so he simply slept again.
In fact, it was okay for them Demons not to eat. If they didn’t encounter their choice of food, they generally wouldn’t feel hungry. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t eat. Previously, Gu Mozhi would sometimes eat some snacks that humans liked when he was hungry, but there was probably nothing delicious in this game, so it was better not to eat.
He slept straight through until noon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the little girl sitting on a stool in the outer room, staring at him eagerly. She was hungry a long time ago, but she didn’t dare to wake up the big brother, so she had to wait silently for him to wake up with a hungry stomach.
Now that the person was awake, she was finally relieved and hurriedly said, “Big brother, let’s go eat?”
Gu Mozhi nodded and got up, leading her outside. There was no food prepared here, so it was assumed that they would have to go to the streets to find food.
You can go to the street through the mourning hall through the back door. When entering the mourning hall, Gu Mozhi found that the atmosphere here was not quite right. Several players sat paralyzed on the ground with pale faces, not reacting for a long time.
Gu Mozhi walked over and lightly kicked a dazed person: “What happened?”
Unexpectedly, after this person came back to his senses, his first reaction was to get up, and run out of the mourning hall in horror, disappearing in a flash. Affected by him, several other people also scrambled and ran out one after another, almost knocking themselves on the ground.

He was unprepared before, but now Gu Mozhi couldn’t let them run away. He grabbed one of the players with his hand, dragging him by the collar, he walked out of the mourning hall, stood at the door and asked, “Tell me, what happened.”

Gu Mozhi listened attentively.
Instead, he said, ”Can we get a little farther away from here before we talk? I’m, I’m a little scared ……”
“What a nuisance.” Gu Mozhi grumbled unhappily, and after some thought led him and the little girl towards a noodle stall on the corner. It just so happened that the little girl was hungry, so it was fine to eat while talking.
Gu Mozhi glanced at the noodles at the next table and knew that the taste was probably average, so he only ordered a bowl for the little girl, and he didn’t plan to eat any himself. As for the player who was brought over, Gu Mozhi didn’t care about him, but fortunately, the player also didn’t have much appetite to eat right now.
After sitting down, his mood finally eased completely. He looked around vigilantly, and found that there were only a few “NPCs” here, and Gu Mozhi, whose force value was so strong that he could beat up female ghosts, was also there, so he let go of his heart and honestly told him what had happened before.
It turned out that after Gu Mozhi took the lead and went back to catch up on his sleep, the remaining players were divided into three factions.
Some people thought that they could take this opportunity to get a good night’s sleep. It should be the safest time at dawn, so these people followed Gu Mozhi’s lead and went to sleep in a room. But they were timid and did not dare to sleep alone, so everyone grouped together, several people sharing one room, to ensure safety.
However, this group of people was also not at peace. After sleeping for sometime, they ran out and said that the house was haunted, and they dared not sleep again. Some people chose to squat in the mourning hall for a while, while others didn’t sleep at all and went outside the mourning hall.
Gu Mozhi thought that he and the little girl slept well, and no ghosts came to disturb him. It might be because he had just tossed a ghost last night. Those ghosts would communicate internally and knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they didn’t dare to come to deliver themselves as food.
Another faction of players felt that since it was already dawn, they should take this opportunity to go to the town to see the situation, and maybe they could ask for some useful information. Since this instance had day and night, daytime definitely had its own significance, and this time should be left for the players to search for information to find ways to deal with the ghosts.
What’s more, they couldn’t always count on Gu Mozhi to beat the ghosts to the ground. What would they do if there were ghosts that Gu Mozhi couldn’t deal with? They still had to rely on themselves.
So this group of people boldly went out, and there were no accidents after they walked to the street. After that, they basically didn’t come back, only occasionally someone passed by the door, but it couldn’t be seen whether they had gained anything.
The last group of players didn’t dare to go back to sleep, and they didn’t dare to go out. As some people chose to wander out because they felt that there was no danger, there were not too many people staying in the mourning hall. There were only three players who were still guarding and refused to leave, firmly believing that the mourning hall was not haunted during the day, and there was definitely no danger.
Here’s where things went bad.
“Not long ago, a few townspeople suddenly came to mourn. They didn’t care about those of us who came back halfway, and went straight to find the three people who had stayed in the mourning hall.” This player was the first group of people who had run out halfway through their sleep, “The townspeople insisted that the three of them receive mourning guests like them, but those three didn’t know the rules of mourning. These townspeople have a lot of troublesome rules for mourning. The three of them made a mistake and were directly captured by the townspeople.”
The townspeople shouted that these three people were definitely not the owners of the house, but the murderers of the deceased in the coffin. Then, many townspeople were called to join forces to capture the three of them, and they were directly pressed onto the coffin and were killed. The blood splashed all over the coffin lid, scaring the rest of the players.
After that, they dragged the player’s body out again, and the rest of them didn’t know where the townspeople took the bodies. The players were scared silly and did not even realize when the coffin and the bloodstains on the ground disappeared. Only when Gu Mozhi asked how there were no bloodstains did the player suddenly react to the fact that the bloodstains were gone.
“I don’t know.” The player flinched, “I was stunned, I didn’t know what happened behind. When I saw someone running out of the door, I realized that the mourning hall was not safe and I had to leave quickly, so I wanted to run. ”
As a result, he was captured.
There weren’t any more questions. Gu Mozhi waved his hand and let this guy go, then turned to ask the little girl who had finished eating a big bowl of noodles: “Are you full?”
The girl rubbed her stomach and nodded: “Yes!”
She was still a little shy. She actually ate so much, it was really embarrassing.
“Then let’s go.” Gu Mozhi got up.
The noodle stall owner quickly stopped him: “You haven’t paid yet.”
Gu Mozhi glanced at the slight ghostly aura on him with distaste. The NPC townspeople here were not ghosts, but they probably weren’t human either. In short, they were not in his diet, and were probably not delicious, so he didn’t really want to talk to this thing that couldn’t even be eaten.
However, he still understood the principle of paying for food, so he calmly asked, “How much?”
The owner of the noodle stall was just about to report a number when he saw Gu Mozhi’s face clearly and changed his tone immediately. His tone was very weird because the content changed too quickly: “Nine——no need to pay! It’s this small store’s honor that you’re willing to come and eat noodles!”
Gu Mozhi: “…”
It seemed that not only ghosts could intercommunicate with each other, even these townspeople weren’t spared.
Since the other party said that they didn’t want money, Gu Mozhi walked away with the little girl contentedly. He planned to take a stroll in the town, of course he did want to find a way to restrain the ghosts, how could he not beat his own food? So he really just wanted to wander around the town to see if he could be lucky enough to run into another ghost, he hadn’t had enough food yet.
After he left, the noodle stall owner shakily opened the system panel. Unlike the players’ system interface, this one only had the administrator’s notification bar.
At this time, the bold and capitalized message in the notification bar which said that ‘A TOUGH PLAYER FROM PURGATORY HAD HEARTLESSLY EATEN THE DROWNED GHOST LAST NIGHT, SO PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL AND DON’T GO HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH THAT DEMON.’ A high-definition uncoded frontal headshot was also attached below, so that the NPCs and ghosts could recognize who the Demon was.
Gu Mozhi, who had no idea that he was already on the whole town’s blacklist, was leisurely taking the little girl for a walk in the town. Pink-hair and the college girl went somewhere, and Gu Mozhi was also bored, so he and the little girl chatted.
“What’s your name?” Gu Mozhi suddenly remembered that he still didn’t know the other person’s name.
The little girl followed him obediently: “Jian Linglong. Big brother, you can call me Linglong.”
“En, my name is Gu Mozhi.” Gu Mozhi reciprocated and reported his name. After the awkward chat was over, there was nothing left to say.
Anyway, since he was free, Gu Mozhi was just thinking wildly while walking. His thoughts were wild and unconstrained, and he turned back to the little girl after a while.
He thought that such an innocent cub would probably not live for three days. A kind Demon like him must definitely help the other party. But it was impossible for him to take care of her all the time, so it was better to find a way to make her stand on her own.
As the saying goes, it was better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. Gu Mozhi pondered for a while and came up with an idea.
First of all, he has to give the other party some means to settle down. Second, he had to teach her some life philosophies that were good for survival. In this way, Jian Linglong could be helped to grow rapidly to the greatest extent. Although forcing a child to grow up too early would be a problem in the long term, with the current situation, he couldn’t care about such a small problem.
He was not in a hurry to inculcate life philosophy (crooked), the fastest way to make a little girl strong was to take her to do big things, and soon she will grow crooked, ah no, grow up. The main thing was to teach the means, which depended on whether the other party was willing to learn.
So Gu Mozhi turned his head and asked Jian Linglong sincerely, “Do you want to become a Witch?”
Jane Linglong, who happened to be indulging in all kinds of girl anime at this age: “Eh eh eh? Is it really possible? Are there really Witches in the world?!”
Gu Mozhi didn’t blink: “Yes!”

Wait is this novel gonna have occasional raising cub scenes too???
Gu Mozhi, father of a hoard of tiny migaic-wielding terrors
😂 I am speechless about how much this fits his character….
MC cheerfully corrupting kids with the best intentions. Why is this cub raising sub-genre so much fun.
I’m reminded of Cale from Trash of the Count’s Family (not BL or even romance but if you want found family, it’s stellar and I cannot recommend enough) teaching everyone to steal and swear
