How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 39: Holy crap!

"Go!" Qin Bo was the one who reacted the fastest at this moment. He flipped his right hand as if he had grabbed something, and then quickly moved towards Chen Qi and Shen Nianxu.

The next second, a flash of light appeared, and the scene before Qin Bo's eyes instantly changed from the eerie old house to a bustling street.

Drop drop-

A car was making a U-turn at the intersection, blocking the driver behind it. A loud honking brought him back to his senses.

"It's out!" Qin Bo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the broken stone in his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Nianxu asked in a deep voice, "Is what you're using a Flying Clamping Stone?"

"That's right," Qin Bo nodded. "Because only Guiguzi himself has been able to learn the Flying Clamping Technique so far, we developed a variant that uses stones to carry the Flying Clamping Technique's power, achieving the effect of long-distance movement."

"But this thing also has obvious drawbacks, namely that it is expensive to manufacture, has a short shelf life, and can only be transported to specific locations."

As he spoke, Qin Bo looked at the bookstore door in front of him, "This is the teleportation point I set up, and this stone can only teleport here."

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Shen Nianxu replied, "It's alright, as long as we escaped successfully. Now we can confirm that the Ten Thousand Demons Guild deliberately allowed the vengeful ghosts to harm people. I suggest we notify Wang Shande directly and have him personally handle the problem. I don't want to encounter any more ghosts anyway."

Qin Bo did not raise any questions, and he also felt that Wang Shande should handle this matter personally.

Ring ring—

The wind chimes at the entrance of the bookstore rang, and Hu Yao, wearing a fleece coat, poked her head out and asked, "Huh? You're back already?"

"Yes, we're back, and we've run into a big problem," Shen Nianxu said, still shaken. "Ghosts are just too scary; it's best to avoid them."

Hu Yao said "Oh," then tilted her head, "Then why are only you guys back?"

Ok?

What does that mean?

Qin Bo and Shen Nianxu were not in a hurry to react. They turned around at the same time and looked at the empty space behind them.

Shen Nianxu: "..."

Qin Bo: "..."

What the hell!

Where is Chen Qi?

-

Inside the secluded old house of the Ten Thousand Demons Club, Yao Ning was dumbfounded.

To be honest, Yao Ning hadn't anticipated that the Flying Clamp Stone would be Qin's firm's trump card.

Because this thing was so precious, Yao Ning never expected that Granny Qin would actually give one to Qin Bo.

However, what Yao Ning never expected was that Shen Nianxu and Qin Bo escaped, but left Chen Qi behind.

Even Chen Qi himself didn't realize what was happening. After the light shone, he thought he would be taken away too, but only two people left.

It's possible that the Flying Clamping Technique and the Flying Clamping Stone itself clashed, or it could be for some other reason, but in any case, Chen Qi was indeed left behind in this secluded old house as an unlucky fellow.

"Uh..." Chen Qi scratched his head and gave an awkward smile. "This is really interesting. Why am I still here?"

Standing by the bed, Yao Ning didn't understand what had happened, and neither did the shopkeeper sitting on the bed.

This is all so strange.

"Can I say something?" Chen Qi asked the innkeeper lying on the bed, completely ignoring the vengeful ghost behind him. "Are you regretting it now?"

The shopkeeper raised his head slightly.

"Perhaps you really just wanted to spend more time with him at first, even though he was already dead, and were even willing to have all your lifespan drained away until you reunited with him in the underworld, right?"

"But now, this thing is out of control," Chen Qi stared at the shopkeeper, "it actually stopped absorbing your lifespan a long time ago, right?"

The shopkeeper didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked, "Why would you have such a thought?"

"Intuition," Chen Qi gave a vague and perfunctory answer. "You just said that the Wan Yao Club was formerly that small foot massage parlor, so I think the Wan Yao Club is quite important to you as well."

"If a guest of the Wan Yao Club is really killed by a ghost, the entire Wan Yao Club will have to go bankrupt."

"Let alone this place filled with memories for you and others, so many monsters have lost their home. You definitely don't want to see this."

"So even if you really want to prolong your time, you can't possibly target the guests of the Ten Thousand Demons Club."

Chen Qi offered a rather calm assessment: "Therefore, I suspect that this thing may have been out of control for a long time, and you just have no choice and don't want to admit that your loved one has done something wrong."

Yao Ning and the shopkeeper did not speak.

Chen Qi simply shrugged. "Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it's true or not is another matter. What if you really don't care about this Ten Thousand Demons Club?"

"I care," the shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, "The Ten Thousand Demons Club is the most important thing in my heart besides him."

"But there's no way out now. He's out of control, and I'm just a manipulated, lifeless corpse whose lifespan is about to end. You can't leave here either, so what's the point of saying all this?"

The shopkeeper gave a bitter smile. "You seem to want to run for the year-end leadership election too, right? If I had met you sooner, I might have considered casting my vote for you. Unfortunately... we're both just dying men at the end of our rope now..."

"Your Ten Thousand Demons Guild even has voting rights?" Chen Qi exclaimed in surprise. Both Yao Ning and the manager were drawn to him, completely oblivious to the strange change in Chen Qi's shadow. "Really?"

"It's true," Yao Ning nodded in reply. "The Ten Thousand Demons Guild is also a major force in Qingcheng, representing all the demons in Qingcheng, so of course it has the right to vote."

"That's great," Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked, "If I help you solve this problem, can you vote for the Myriad Demons Club in your year-end leadership election?"

Yao Ning: "?"

The shopkeeper: "?"

It seems you didn't understand what we just said.

This is a ghost!

Moreover, it has already absorbed a large amount of lifespan, and its strength has increased to the point that it is a fierce ghost that does not know what heaven and earth are!

Even if Shen Nianxu comes, victory is not guaranteed!

You're asking me now, if you solve this problem, can I vote for you?

Your question sounds like a primitive man asking an ordinary person, "If I build a nuclear bomb, can you give me the bone in your hand to eat?"

Is this a question a human being should ask?

"Since you won't answer, I'll assume you agree." Chen Qi turned around and looked at the vengeful ghost hiding in the shadows behind him, emitting a nauseating stench of corpses.

"Let me take a look at what this thing is..."
