Chapter 132: How Did Ghoul Leader Lose His Face?

The desire for beauty is not exclusive to humans, and so, Ghoul Elder did not present himself in the hideous form of a Ghoul. Instead, he appeared as a young and handsome man. Nevertheless, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel a deep sense of melancholy lurking behind his cold, indifferent expression.

Ghoul Elder finally stopped ten meters in front of Jigu, seemingly unconcerned that he was now well within the range of human firepower.

Liu Xing couldn't help but notice the awkward expressions that kept flitting across Jigu's face – a mixture of red and white, clearly indicating his discomfort. Jigu couldn't bring himself to make direct eye contact with Ghoul Elder.

Liu Xing suddenly felt a shift in the atmosphere. What was initially a tense situation now felt strangely nuanced, like switching from a horror movie to a melodrama midway.

Suddenly, Ghoul Elder spoke, "Are you thinking of backing out, Jigu?"

What surprised Liu Xing was that Ghoul Elder spoke in perfectly fluent Mandarin, but the bitterness in his tone sent shivers down Liu Xing's spine.

"Uh, hehe..." Jigu stammered, scratching his head, looking utterly bewildered.

Liu Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu as he observed the intense gaze exchanged between Jigu and Ghoul Elder. Everyone else seemed utterly perplexed, their eyes shifting back and forth between the two.

"This is a coc (clash of clans), not a galgame (visual novel)," Liu Xing thought to himself.

"Jigu, since you're already here, don't think about leaving. You should know by now that we've surrounded you," Ghoul Elder continued, and the Ghouls who had been hidden in the shadows also stepped forward.

Liu Xing quickly estimated that there were now over a hundred Ghouls on the scene!

"Damn, how can there be so many Ghouls?!" Komatsu exclaimed in astonishment.

Liu Xing's face turned pale. Weren't there supposed to be only around forty Ghouls? How had their numbers suddenly more than doubled, creating a difference of over sixty individuals?

Realizing that he could no longer remain silent, Jigu raised his head and said in a solemn voice, "Since you, Cao'er, have put it this way, may I request half an hour to contemplate my decision?"

Jigu unexpectedly referred to Ghoul Elder as "Cao'er," leaving Liu Xing in shock.

However, on second thought, this "Cao'er" appellation reminded Liu Xing of someone—KP Cao. While KP Cao had worn a mask at the time, Liu Xing had a clear recollection of KP Cao's physique. Comparing it to Ghoul Elder's current appearance, there was a striking similarity.

With this idea in mind, Liu Xing stroked his chin, pondering the possibility of Ghoul Elder being played by KP Cao as a cameo.

"Very well, I will grant you another half-hour, but after that, you must give me an answer," Ghoul Elder nodded and said.

Jigu sighed and addressed the others, "Please join me inside the church for now. There are some matters I need to explain to you."

Jigu then walked back into the church.

As for the others, they undoubtedly followed Jigu into the church. After all, no one enjoys being scrutinized by over a hundred Ghouls, especially when in the Ghouls' eyes, you're nothing more than mobile food.

Once everyone was inside the church, Jigu began to speak, "I'm sure you're all curious about the relationship between that Ghoul and me."

No one spoke.

After all, anyone with normal emotional and intellectual intelligence understood that it was best to remain silent at this moment.

"Very well, since none of you seem inclined to speak, I'll tell you. Just listen. First and foremost, I must admit that all the rumors circulating in Blood Howl Town about my preferences are true. I do indeed prefer the same sex, and I am only interested in corpses. These are choices I've made for myself, and I have no regrets about them."
