Recap
The little doll imitated his example and performed the same chants.
Ji Huaizhe looked around and said, “Where is it?”
Chu Shici pointed to the palm of his hand.
Ji Huaizhe squinted his eyes and looked closer. There is an extra drop of water on his palm, which is smaller than a teardrop.
Ji Huaizhe: ……
Chu Shici struggled to defend himself: “Actually, I’m very good at fighting, but my body is too small now…I, I can’t do anything else for the time being.”
Growing up, Chu Shici had never competed with anyone for favor. He is not as strong as the priest, and time was tight, so he had no chance to prove his worth.
Looking at the small droplet of water, he felt very uneasy.
Chu Shici was silent for a long time, then pulled Ji Huaizhe’s sleeve, “I know I look useless now, but can you just trust me once. If you choose me, you will never regret it.”
The man didn’t answer him, and the room fell into deathly silence.
The priest watched the whole process, and he felt that he was sure to win.
___
Ji Huaizhe delayed for a whole day and night without making a decision, and the priest’s soul began to turn transparent.
He is an evil spirit. If no one signs a contract with him after a while, he will automatically return to the underworld.
Thankfully, his competitor is also an evil spirit.
Although Chu Shici’s soul is hiding in the doll and cannot be seen by the naked eye. But he presumes that, like him, Chu Shici was also gradually getting weaker.
Ji Huaizhe had noticed something strange about Vicente, and he turned his head slightly to look at the priest.
Through the goat skull mask, Vicente looked into those scarlet eyes.
It was clear that the young sorcerer in front of him was not as powerful as he is, but there was a strong uneasiness and deep fear in his heart.
It was as if what he saw was not a pair of eyes, but an endless abyss.
The priest’s soul wandered for a moment, and his movements were very small, but Ji Huaizhe still saw it.
He pursed his lips and took the initiative to look away.
Chu Shici still grabbed onto his sleeve and waited for him to express his position, but Ji Huaizhe seemed to have forgotten about it and did not let the little doll show off his skills again.
Something strange is happening to the priest’s soul, which is a sign that he is about to be recalled to the underworld. Tomorrow midnight is the deadline.
Following sorcerer etiquettes, the evil spirits not chosen will be eaten by the sorcerer and become their tonic.
Ji Huaizhe repeatedly compared the two evil spirits in his mind.
Father Vicente is a mobile library that will aid him in his journey. He is also good at making potions, which can make up for his shortcomings.
As for this shapeshifter…
So far, it’s really useless.
Ji Huaizhe was playing with the little doll, and for the first time he had difficulty choosing between them.
After his competitor showed off his skills, Vicente thought he was going to be chosen without hesitation this time, but the young sorcerer began to hesitate again.
What’s there to hesitate about? What’s there to even compare between them?
Vicente observed for a while and gradually discovered the problem.
This sorcerer seemed aloof and unapproachable, but he was actually very easy to get along with. He couldn’t see the sorcerer’s expression through his mask, but he could see that he is never rough when playing with the doll. His movements are very gentle and will not make the doll feel uncomfortable.
The sorcerer has no friends, he is lonely. The care and dependency shown by the voodoo doll is able to fill the void in the sorcerer’s heart.
No one paid attention to Vicente. He quietly floated over to Ji Huaizhe and began to study his competitor.
Yesterday, this doll not only burned him to ashes, but also whipped his corpse with nails. When talking to him, his tone was arrogant and his expression was ferocious.
In front of the sorcerer, this doll seemed to be a completely different person. From time to time he showed an expression of aggrievedness, always looking up in a helpless manner, looking weak and pitiful.
Vicente folded his arms and snorted coldly, begging for mercy shamelessly, but sorcerers like this trick this very well.
Seeing that the sorcerer was still hesitating, he decided to pull out his trump card.
He is determined to be the evil spirit servant of the Son of God.
After playing with the doll for a while, Ji Huaizhe picked up a ball of yarn and wanted to make a body for the priest.
The little doll ran around the ball of yarn, as if trying to move it away and hide it.
Ji Huaizhe couldn’t drive him away, so he picked him up and put him in his breast pocket.
This small pocket seemed to bring a sense of security to the doll. He found a comfortable position inside and lay still.
But every time Ji Huaizhe lowered his head, he could see the doll picking at the edge of his pocket and looking up at him with a serious and solemn expression on his face.
Thinking that choosing the priest would mean eating this evil spirit himself, Ji Huaizhe looked away uncomfortably.
He is not a qualified sorcerer, and he cannot force himself to do it.
The speed of knitting yarn became slower and slower. Just when he was about to make his choice, the priest suddenly floated in front of him and motioned for him to come over.
Many sorcerers are also alchemists, and the college dormitories are equipped with the tools needed to make potions.
Vicente made a few gestures, which Ji Huaizhe didn’t understand, but he could roughly guess that the priest wanted to teach him how to make potions.
Following the priest’s guidance, Ji Huaizhe put the ingredients into the pot and boiled them one by one.
As time goes by, the liquid in the pot gradually turns dark purple.
Vicente hovered around the pot and nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Huaizhe took out a spoonful and smelled it, then looked at the priest with some surprise, “Top grade curse potion?”
Vicente showed a confident smile on his face and bowed gracefully, “This formula is my own. There are no better curse potions on the market.”
Ji Huaizhe couldn’t hear the evil spirit’s voice. He looked at the potion repeatedly and determined that potion of this quality had a price but is not sold in any market.
Chu Shici didn’t know how to make potions, but his intuition told him that the situation was not favorable for him.
He quickly raised his hand: “I can do it too!”
A man’s cold voice came from above his head, “Can shapeshifters also refine potions?”
“No, but I can imitate! No matter what it is, I can learn it just by watching it once!”
Chu Shici quickly repeated the process, making no mistakes from beginning to end.
The recipe was complicated and the process was tedious. Vicente did not expect that he would learn it so quickly.
Looking at the sorcerer who was lost in thought again, the priest pointed to the little doll and cursed in a low voice: “Thief, robber!”
Too bad no one could hear him.
Ji Huaizhe couldn’t make a decision tonight. After giving the priest a body, he sat on the table and took notes.
Under Vicente’s disdainful gaze, the dark coloured doll sat on the parchment, reading and studying with Ji Huaizhe.
Vicente cursed vehemently in his heart: You don’t have the ability yet you only just know how to use these useless tricks to please people.
It is not known whether the dark coloured doll noticed his gaze, but he turned to look at him.
At this time, the priest already had a new body, inhabiting the body of a purple voodoo doll.
The two sides stared at each other for a moment. Even though the dark coloured doll had no mouth, the priest felt that he had smiled at him.
Before going to bed, Ji Huaizhe took out two balls of yarn and prepared to tie the two dolls to the candlestick to prevent them from running around in the middle of the night.
Chu Shici held on to his clothes and refused to let go, insisting on sleeping with him.
Ji Huaizhe hesitated for two seconds, tied up the priest doll, picked up the little dark coloured doll and put it next to his pillow.
Chu Shici was lying on Zhe-ge’s bed and gave the middle finger to the priest who was looking over.
The voodoo doll has no fingers, so Ji Huaizhe only saw the little doll suddenly raising a short yarn arm.
He thought for a moment, stretched out his fingertips and tapped the doll’s little arm, and said in a cold tone: “Stop making trouble and go to sleep.”
Chu Shici, who was mocking his opponent, took his arm back blankly, not understanding how he knew what he did.
Ji Huaizhe took off the goat skull mask, revealing a pale and handsome face. The dim candle light shone on his face, adding a touch of warmth to him.
Chu Shici has traveled through many worlds and looked at many beauties. He has long become accustomed to his husband’s gorgeous face.
But Vicente didn’t.
He had seen many beauties, but this was the first time he saw someone so innately beautiful. There is no need to scrutinize it carefully, just one glance will make you fall in love with his face.
Ji Huaizhe took off his sorcerer robe and prepared to change into pajamas.
Chu Shici looked towards the desk, turned his head, rubbed out a few small water droplets, and extinguished the candle on the side.
The room fell into darkness, and Vicente looked back regretfully.
He was about to go back to sleep when he heard a man’s arrogant voice coming from the bed, “Ha! You moved! I knew you must be a pervert who likes to peek at my Ge changing his clothes, damn you, you stinking idiot!”
When Chu Shici was speaking, Ji Huaizhe had just finished taking off his clothes.
After hearing this, he put on the sorcerer robe, got out of bed, stuffed the priest doll into a drawer and locked it.
Vicent …
Sooner or later he was going to kill that rude peasant.
___
Chu Shici got into Ji Huaizhe’s hand and found a comfortable position to lie down.
Beneath him was Zhe-ge’s cold palms, and in his ears was the sound of Zhe-ge’s steady breathing. As the first doll to climb into the male protagonist’s bed, Chu Shici felt that he had won.
He opened the backend and looked at the data on the dashboard.
Two days of interaction with Zhe-ge also had some effects. Ji Huaizhe’s vitality value increased by two points and is now 8/100.
He relied on these two points of vitality to successfully stabilize the imbalance in Zhe-ge’s heart.
Acting cute is not a long-term solution. Zhe-ge is a pragmatic and rational person.
Chu Shici must find other ways to prove his worth.
The plug-in given to him by the system is practical, but he has not yet found the correct way to use it.
Through observation in the past two days, Chu Shici also had a general understanding of the progress of the plot.
The male protagonist has just become a fully fledged sorcerer and is preparing to summon an evil spirit servant. The witch hunt group invited by the king is looking for a way into the Erya Mountains.
There are still three months until the Sorcerer Academy is destroyed and the hero’s friends and teachers are killed in battle.
According to the original text, the male protagonist of this period found his own meaning in life. He is a lively, cheerful, warm and friendly little sun.
Lilith has a very close relationship with him. The two often fight and quarrel, and they are very good friends.
But that day, when Lilith and Ji Huaizhe were in the same room discussing their fate, Chu Shici felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. It is as if they were not friends, but at most roommates.
Chu Shici told the system what he thought about.
The system tsked, [That shouldn’t be the case. Every time your husband goes into a punishment world, his memory will be cleared. He will regard himself as an aborigine, there is no reason to actively violate the plot.]
Chu Shici thought for a while, ‘Could it be because of his original personality? Zhe-ge is not good at socializing, and his aura can be intimidating. Maybe he also wants to make friends like in the original novel, but others only think that he is too cold and take the initiative to distance themselves from him.’
The identity and handsome appearance of the Son of God attracted many suitors. Those people spend their time writing love letters and making gifts, but are not willing to take the time to get to know the real Ji Huaizhe.
Chu Shici can understand why Zhe-ge was alone.
But with Zhe-ge’s temperament, his vitality points should not be low just because he has no friends.
Why is his vitality so low?
Chu Shici looked through the backend dashboard again.
His college life in the first half of the original novel can be summarized into a few key plot points.
The male protagonist showed amazing talent in the classroom and won a lot of praise. After class, he was surrounded by many fans and received many love letters from his little fans.
Playing around with Lilith, the two secretly fell in love.
Due to the fact that he learns faster than others around him, he was dragged by his teacher to learn more advanced witchcraft.
The male protagonist is funny, enthusiastic and talkative, and is a little party prince. He gets along well with everyone, and all of his teachers and classmates like him.
He led a smooth life as a child and his childhood was not lacking.
The early plot of the original novel is very relaxed and peaceful, and Chu Shici doesn’t see any problems.
Chu Shici looked through it for a while and suddenly discovered something strange.
Lilith knocked on the door last night and called Ji Huaizhe to attend a bonfire party.
But the original novel never mentioned a bonfire party.
Chu Shici asked the system to search through the original novel together, and they studied the original novel carefully for the rest of the night, but couldn’t find any relevant mentions of a bonfire party.
Since it’s not in the original novel, why was it even mentioned here?
Before Chu Shici could figure out the reason, out of the corner of his eye he saw Ji Huaizhe’s body, that had just been laying on the side quietly, seemed to move.
He turned his head in confusion, and saw a figure slowly sitting up in the darkness.
Chu Shici’s first reaction was that Zhe-ge woke up, yet in the next second he realized that something was wrong.
He was lying in Zhe-ge’s hand. Ji Huaizhe’s hand had not moved from beginning to end, and his breathing had not changed. The person sitting up could not be him.
The shadow left the bed. Chu Shici picked up Ji Huaizhe’s fingers and peeked through the gaps between them.
The dark shadow walked back and forth, from one end of the dormitory to the other, and finally stopped in front of the closet. He opened the cabinet door, rummaged through and found something, lowered his head and started eating.
Due to the restriction of the angle, Chu Shici could only see the man’s back and not the scene in the cabinet.
The sound of chewing soon filled the room, mixed with heavy and low breathing.
‘Click, click, click—’
This sound sounded particularly loud in the silent bedroom.
The drawer on the desk was quiet. Chu Shici doesn’t know if the priest didn’t hear the noise or didn’t want to cause trouble.
Ji Huaizhe, who looked very alert during the day, seemed to have fallen deeply asleep at this time.
In the whole dormitory, it seemed that Chu Shici was the only one awake.
He hesitated for a moment between taking a peek or pretending to sleep, and finally chose to lie down.
The strength of the enemy is unknown and Zhe-ge is asleep, he cannot be reckless this time.
This time the shadow seemed hungrier.
He ate for a full hour before closing the cabinet door and turning towards the wooden bed.
Chu Shici saw the dark shadow leaning down and integrating into Ji Huaizhe’s body little by little.
Then the dormitory became silent again.
Chu Shici was about to discuss it with the system when he turned around and found that Ji Huaizhe, who had his eyes closed, had opened his eyes at some point.
The room was pitch dark, and Chu Shici couldn’t see Ji Huaizhe’s expression clearly, and could only see a pair of scarlet eyes.
He wasn’t sure if Zhe-ge was looking at him, so he stiffened his body and didn’t dare to move, for fear of provoking something unknown.
After a while, Chu Shici gradually heard subtle noises in the darkness. It should be that several people were talking in low voices.
Their voices are both far and near, sometimes it seems to be coming from far away, sometimes it seems to be whispering in his ear.
Chu Shici could not find the source of the sound, no outsiders had entered the room as far as he can see.
He tried hard to make out what they were saying, but it sounded more like meaningless syllables.
A strange feeling came to Chu Shici’s heart. For a moment, he thought he was hearing voices from hell.
When the sound was about to disappear, Chu Shici finally made out a few words clearly.
“So hungry.”
“When will I be full? I’m really hungry.”
“I’m so hungry, I really want to eat him.”
___
T/N: Do you know that 娃娃 (wawa) can also be translated as baby (currently I translated that as doll, which is what it should be but)? Chu Shici is Ji Huaizhe’s little doll baby.
Also, am taking a short break from posting for 3 days. Sorry!
