A Witch was really an attractive condition. Jian Linglong hesitated for less than five seconds before agreeing to the condition with a nod of her head.
Children in modern society already have more knowledge about things. Twelve-year-old children should have been quite precocious, but couldn’t help the fact that a shocking turn of events had just happened a while back. Ghosts had appeared, so would magic still be far away? So Jian Linglong chose to trust Gu Mozhi.
However, strictly speaking, Gu Mozhi did not know magic. But a Demon’s innate spells could be somewhat classified as magic.
So Gu Mozhi peacefully used this to trick the little girl, and after receiving an affirmative reply, he made his move. The easiest way for an ordinary person to master Demonic spells was to turn her into a Demon too.
The high-level bloodlines in Purgatory could be bestowed to other creatures, such as Vampires giving first embrace to humans, Werewolves biting and infecting, and Undead viruses infesting. The bestowal of Demon powers was relatively troublesome, after all, they were one of the top races in Purgatory. Gu Mozhi used his original magic power to condense a demon seed and planted it into Jian Linglong’s heart.
This method was relatively inefficient, but it was the safest and had relatively little effect on Gu Mozhi. After all, it was a seed condensed with his magic power, it would consume a bit of his strength and needed to be recovered slowly.
Jian Linglong touched her heart blankly. She had a strange feeling. She felt that the blood in her body changed slightly when it flowed through her heart. It seemed… tainted with a strange energy?
The Demonic seed would slowly change her physique, which would take about three days. Within three days, she would gradually transform into a Demon, slowly acquire some Demon inheritance, and awaken Demonic talents.
For example – Jian Linglong suddenly felt that those NPCs exuded a good scent.
She swallowed her saliva and asked doubtfully: “Brother, do all the townspeople carry delicious food with them?”
“Call me Master.” Gu Mozhi suggested, and then replied, “No, they just stayed with the delicious food for a long time and got a little bit of the scent of the food.”
Jian Linglong, who didn’t know that the so-called smell of delicacies was the scent of ghosts, nodded blankly, and after a while asked, “Why should I call you Master?”
Gu Mozhi said matter-of-factly: “Because I don’t want to be your Father.”
Obtaining his Demon seed and becoming a Demon was basically equivalent to becoming his adopted Daughter. But Gu Mozhi thought that he was too young and handsome to be promoted to being a Father so quickly, so he might as well accept her as an apprentice.

Jian Linglong tried to actively think about how to use spells, and a few really appeared in her mind. Seeing that there were no other players around, she tried it enthusiastically. A small flame appeared from her fingertips, which was very cute.
“Success!” She exclaimed, very pleasantly surprised.
As a result, the flame suddenly disappeared in the next second. Jian Linglong frowned and tried a few more times, but nothing came out, as if the magic power in her body was blocked and not allowed to come out.
“Master.” Jian Linglong explained the matter to Gu Mozhi.
After hearing this, Gu Mozhi immediately tried it himself and found that even he couldn’t use his magic power, and he was suddenly unhappy.
Almost at the same point of time, a system message was sent to their system interface: [Players please play the game seriously and don’t resort to mysterious powers that are beyond the scope of science, and maintain the fairness of the game!]
Gu Mozhi: Heh.
It seemed that he was indeed targeted by the system, or maybe it was that what’s-his-name Lord God? In any case, he was being watched closely because he was too high-profile before.
Just now, Jian Linglong’s use of magic power alerted the other party. They immediately reacted and quickly sealed their magic power. The action was really fast and there was nothing that could be done about it. Gu Mozhi’s strength affected the balance too much and if he was allowed to use magic power, there would be no way out for the opposing team.
However, sealing off his magic power did not have a particularly great impact on Gu Mozhi. Even if he was a weakling, he still had a natural advantage when dealing with his food. Not to mention even if his magic power was sealed, his physical strength was still there, and he could beat the food just by relying on his strength.
It’s just that Jian Linglong, who had just become a Demon, her physical quality would have to wait for a few days before she could completely become a Demon. And because she was young, she could only have the basic physical strength of a little Demon before she became an adult, and she can only continue to grow after she becomes an adult. It was too early to mention these now.
All in all, Jian Linglong managed to have a way of protecting herself, but before she could totally break free, she became a weak chicken again. Fortunately, the Demon’s blood in her body could suppress ghosts, allowing ghosts to show at most half of their strength in front of her, greatly increasing the safety factor.
With the addition of a young apprentice, many things became much more convenient for Gu Mozhi. He no longer had to deal with NPCs himself, Jian Linglong, who was so greedy for the ghost Qi, took the initiative to go up to the townspeople and get information.
Of course, what they asked still had nothing to do with restraining ghosts. They only talked happily about where to go to encounter ghosts. Unfortunately, there was nothing to gain, which disappointed Gu Mozhi.
In the evening, the Master and apprentice returned to the mourning hall.
At this time, many players had already gathered in the mourning hall, each holding a steamed bun and gnawing on them.
“Is this what you guys are eating for dinner?” Jian Linglong leaned over and asked.
After becoming a Demon, Jian Linglong became more outgoing and active. Although she hadn’t yet revealed the naughty side of a little Demon yet, it wasn’t something to be taken lightly. Gu Mozhi was very curious, could her cute human nature suppress the Demon’s naughty nature.
The college girl smiled helplessly at her, and wanted to give her a steamed bun: “This is the cheapest, and I can’t afford anything else.”
Feeling hungry after going out, she dug into her pants pocket. She had money, but not much. They had to stay here for six days and seven nights, even if they ate two meals a day, it was still twelve meals, and the money divided over each meal would be very little. In order not to go hungry in the next few days, no one dared to spend money lavishly. After thinking about it for a long time, they found that they could only eat steamed buns, which was very bitter.
Jian Linglong quickly shook her head and refused. She didn’t want to eat steamed buns, and after becoming a Demon, her ability to resist hunger was much stronger. She only needed to eat one meal in a few days.
Gu Mozhi walked in slowly from behind. He was not happy that he didn’t find any food, and he was even more unhappy when he saw a room full of steamed buns. He was indifferent to this kind of flavorless food, and he felt choked up just looking at it.
When the players saw his grim face, they all shut up and kept quiet, not daring to whisper anymore. It wasn’t until Gu Mozhi and Jian Linglong found a place to sit down and rest far away from them that they slowly recovered.
The college girl was not afraid. While eating steamed buns, she shared with them what they had discovered throughout the day. In fact, they hadn’t gained much, just lamented that it was too difficult to make money here.
Originally, she and the Pink-haired man wanted to earn more money so that they could eat better. Later they discovered that they were just dreaming big, and there was no way for players to make money in this town.
“I, I know a little bit about how to make money.” A familiar voice sounded. Gu Mozhi looked over and found that it was the player he took away in the morning.
The player touched his nose, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, “Just this morning ……”
Seeing everyone looking over, he quickly recounted what happened in the morning. Although some players had heard of it, some hadn’t heard of it before. Hearing him say that such a horrible thing would happen if they stayed in the mourning hall during the day, everyone turned pale with fear.
“Actually, the three of them entertained two townspeople successfully before they made a mistake with the other people. Those two people gave them a ‘tip’. I feel that that should be money that we can use. But then they got killed by the townspeople and were just dragged away with no money left.”
So at the moment, it seemed likely that entertaining townspeople during the day was the only way to make money, but it was very dangerous.
The crowd looked down at the white steamed buns in their hands, and after a moment of silence, they decided to gnaw on the buns properly. En, the steamed buns were so delicious.
At this time, Pink-hair also finished eating. He wiped his mouth and said, “While it’s still dark, let’s decide who will be standing vigil tonight. By the way, let’s analyze the situation last night and try to ensure everyone’s safety.”
“Okay.” The college girl was the first to respond to him, “I think as long as you honestly entertain the ghosts and offer incense at night, you can send them away. There are not as many mourning rules for ghosts as there are for the townspeople, so it is easier and also safer than during the day.”
“But what if it’s just the first day that the ghosts are so easy to deal with?” Some people have different opinions.
“Actually where was it safe last night? The female ghost tried to hurt people several times, but it was only the big brother’s strength that prevented him from getting hurt.”
“That’s right. Logically speaking, it is definitely more dangerous at night than during the day. How can it be that it is so easy to mourn at night but more difficult during the day?”
The female college student shook her head and did not refute. She didn’t agree with their views, but she didn’t know how to persuade them.
It was Pink-hair who reminded everyone: “Don’t forget this is a novice instance.”
“The difficulty of this novice instance is not high to begin with, and it is normal that it could be passed at night. And although it is difficult to mourn during the day, it is not compulsory to participate in the vigil during the day. If you are willing to eat white steamed buns for a week, you don’t need to participate. Strictly speaking, mourning during the day is a money-making opportunity for advanced players and has nothing to do with ordinary players.”
Then he continued: “Don’t forget that the last day is the seventh day of the first month. The ghost that comes on the last day should be the soul of the deceased in the coffin. Not surprisingly, he will be the BOSS of this instance. The seventh night is definitely the most dangerous time. I don’t know how many in our group can survive.”
Pink-hair was a little pessimistic. He felt that the selection of new players in this instance was all focused on the seventh night, and the first six nights were just warm-ups.
After hearing what he said, everyone became nervous. Yes, there was still the seventh day! If it was really the Boss of the instance who would come that time, it would be very dangerous for them to be trapped in the house and unable to go out on the street.
“Isn’t it possible to skip the night watch?” The young man said boldly, “Let the boss deal with it on the seventh night, and we can just hide in the house.”
Pink-hair snorted and said nothing, how could such a good thing happen.
“Who told you that you are safe in the house?” Jian Linglong blinked and said crisply, “There are ghosts disturbing you when you sleep in the house during the day, but not at night? The system didn’t say that!”
The young man stiffened. He hadn’t considered this point.
Jian Linglong is cute, hope she stays around for a long time.
