Chapter 141: If You’re in Trouble, Find the Police!
Edited by Dust Bunny
You- dont recognize me? Gu Xizhou asked, frowning. He looked at the little boy in front of him.
Gu Ji Ji scratched his head, a blank look on his face, and asked in confusion, Should I know you?
Uncle, are you my dads friend? My dad is a police officer, too! Gu Ji Ji fired off a couple questions in quick succession.
Gu Xizhou knitted his brows. Wang Shu wasnt here anymore, so Gu Ji Ji didnt need to call him uncle. Hes only said a few sentences and called him uncle. According to Gu Ji Jis personality, he definitely wouldnt call him uncle all soft and sweet if he knew who he was.
Then, a couple entered through the neighborhood gate. They spoke in low voices as they walked. The woman wore a shallow smile on her face, and the mans eyes were bent. The man said something that made the woman cover her snickering mouth, and she lightly beat his chest with a fist.
With just a glance at their expressions, Gu Xizhou knew these two were definitely deeply in love, and they had a very good relationship.
The couple were both wearing police uniforms. When they came in, they looked at Gu Xizhou and nodded politely to him. Then their eyes trailed down to the little boy with his back to them.
The mans jawline could cut like a knife. He had a handsome silhouette, and his eyes shone like stars. His handsome features were outlined deeply, and his back was perfectly straight. On his body, the police uniform was a paragon of asceticism.
The womans hair was up in a ponytail, and her skin was fair and clear. Her facial features were quiet and elegant, four parts beautiful and six parts gorgeous, in perfect harmony.
Gu Xizhou realized that this couple was Gu Xizhous parents!
Ji Jis father was called Gu Qing, and his mother was Zhou Xinyue.
Zhou Xinyues beautiful dark eyes fell on Gu Ji Jis back, and she called, Xiao Zhou?
When he was called, Gu Ji Ji turned around and saw his parents. He broke into a wide grin and ran over, immediately trying to help the woman carry her things. Mom, he called in a clear and lively tone.
Why arent you upstairs at home? What are you doing down here? Zhou Xinyue lowered her voice and educated her son, telling him not to speak to strangers.

Mom, what are you thinking This uncle helped your son and Wang whats-her-face drive away those three older kids. Gu Ji Ji pointed at Gu Xizhou and explained what happened just now to her. If it werent for this uncle, Wang whoever and I wouldve taken a beating!

Hello, thank you for helping! said Gu Qing. His voice was deep. He extended a hand to Gu Xizhou, bending his eyes and smiling lightly.
Gu Xizhou grabbed his hand. Dont mention it. I did what I was supposed to do.
After simply exchanging a few more words, Gu Qings cell phone suddenly rang. Hello? En, go ahead. Its fine, Im not busy En, en. Okay The specific situation is
Gu Qing was tall and well-proportioned. The lines around his eyebrows were very deep. Even though he was extremely handsome, he gave off a very grave atmosphere. While he spoke, Gu Xizhou stood off to the side and waited for him to finish.
Okay, Ill go over right away!
What happened? Zhou Xinyue asked quietly.
An unidentified female corpse was discovered by the riverbank. I have to go back. Gu Qing frowned. You take Xiao Zhou back to eat. Dont wait for me.
Zhou Xinyue nodded faintly and was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang repeatedly.
Her gentle voice seemed to repeat the same conversation Gu Qing just had. Zhou Xinyue finished her phone call and spread her hands. I cant get out of this one either. They need my skills.
Gu Ji Ji listened to his parents and puffed out his cheeks. His seething expression looked like a goldfish.
Zhou Xinyue patted Gu Ji Jis shoulder. Sorry, Xiao Zhou, we cant eat with you today, either. Take this food back first, and Ill tell your Aunt Kong you should eat at her house.
The couple gave Gu Ji Ji a few warnings. They wanted to say more, but their phones dinged and forced them to speed it up. They left in a hurry.
Gu Ji Ji took the food and stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking a little lonely.
Gu Xizhou looked down at him and asked softly, Are you alright?
Ah, its nothing. Im used to it.
Gu Ji Jis expression was still full of grief he was unable to hide. Actually, I dont know why my mom had to be a police officer, too. My dad is, and hes poor!
Why do you say that?
Gu Ji Ji glanced at Gu Xizhou and stuck out his tongue. Im not telling you!
After saying that, Gu Ji Ji vanished upstairs, leaving the disappointed Gu Xizhou all alone. Gu Xizhou was about to leave when he saw Wang Shu come down from upstairs, led by a young Kong Yue.
Wang Shu saw Gu Xizhou and yelled happily, Uncle! You havent left yet!
Gu Xizhou thought, then said, En. I dont know the way.
Kong Yue saw that Wang Shu knew this handsome young man and was confused. She asked Wang Shu about what happened.
Thats the uncle who saved Gu Xizhou and me that I told you about!
Oh, Kong Yue quickly expressed her thanks to Gu Xizhou. Thank you, little brother!
Gu Xizhou felt a little awkward about this address. No problem, he replied stiffly.
Because she just got Gu Qings phone call, there wasnt enough food at home, so Kong Yue wanted to go out and get some groceries. Her daughter was coming along. After she bought them, she found that Gu Xizhou was unexpectedly still by the gate, and he hadnt left yet. Feeling a little odd, she gave him a strange look and said hesitantly, Little brother, do you still need something?
Im fine. Gu Xizhou was sweating, and he felt a little embarrassed. Im going, bye bye.
After Gu Xizhou left, he rubbed his forehead. He didnt understand the present circumstances, but he asked someone about the date and ascertained that tomorrow was the day Tong Jia would jump off a building. On Friday, Tong Jia would be teased by Gu Ji Ji, and after returning home, she would fall, jumping to her death.
Gu Xizhous heart sank. Even if Gu Ji Ji said he didnt care about Tong Jias cause of death, it seemed that he obviously took it to heart.
Not only should this memory be very intense, but the time he was placed in this world was very subtle. Gu Xizhou couldnt help but wonder, could it be that Ji Ji was the same as those other ghosts, and that his obsession with Tong Jias death had broken his chains?
In the worlds hed experienced, there were two kinds of ghosts. One ghost made no sound whatsoever, but the ones who had the door were accompanied by the clanging sound of chains
Every time the ghosts connected to the door would take a step, the chains around their feet would slide and clack together.
When he woke up for work that morning, he mistakenly thought the rattling sound was his neighbor making a ruckus. Now, thinking carefully, that sound was more like the rattling of chains, but this sound was different from any broken ghost chain hed heard after going through a door!
The chains on those ghosts were broken after the accumulation of negative emotion.
The chains on Ji Ji were clearly broken for a different reason than those pitiful ghosts.
The question is, if he saves Tong Jia tomorrow, will he grant Ji Jis wish?
If so if he grants Ji Jis wish, will Gu Ji Ji disappear like the other ghosts?
Gu Xizhou clenched his fists, and his heart sank. Ji Ji, are you there? Come out! I need to ask you something!
Ji Ji?
Ji Ji clearly wasnt there because Gu Xizhou didnt hear anything. There were no chain sounds anywhere in the surroundings.
There was no NPC, and there was no one to even talk to him.
Hold on this world wouldnt leave him homeless, right?
Gu Xizhou pondered over this problem.
The world before this one made him cook for himself. Dont tell him that in this one he had to sleep on the streets?
At around ten oclock, after Gu Xizhou confirmed that this world would really let him sleep on the streets, he toughened his scalp and walked to the police station.
An officer on duty in the station saw him and asked, Are you here to report a crime?
Gu Xizhou shook his head. I have nowhere to live and no money to eat.
The officer looked at him, so what? written across his whole face.
Gu Xizhou said earnestly, When theres a problem, look for a police officer!
Officer: ???
Crooked: I forgor
