294: Chapter 42: Gathering Wishes Sacrifice (3)_3 294: Chapter 42: Gathering Wishes Sacrifice (3)_3 Gongsun Ce stood up from the chair and walked over to the starving ghosts, saying calmly, “I don’t think so.
If you really wanted food, why haven’t you been relieved after eating so much?”
The starving ghosts were stunned for a moment, then shouted, “Not enough!” “Not tasty!” “Too little…”
“Eating until your stomachs are swollen and still not satisfied?
The lack of food is certainly your obsession, but you only see one aspect and not the other.” Gongsun Ce put his hands behind his back and started walking around the little ghosts.
“Children suffered from hunger and cold, with little clothing and food during hard times.
Your bodies are barely covered, and your feet lack socks and shoes.
How could you endure the cold winter dressed so shabbily?
That purple color on your skin is evidence of severe frostbite!”
“Ah!” The starving ghosts, struck as if by a thunderbolt on a clear day, even forgot to eat for the moment.
The leader of the ghosts murmured, “Cold…
Gongsun Ce raised his hand, creating several pure white padded jackets.
He squatted down and handed the thick clothes to the little ghosts.
“Food can fend off hunger, but it cannot dispel the cold.
To be satisfied, you might as well wear some thick clothes.”
The starving ghosts snatched the jackets and hastily put them on, garbling, “Clothes…” “Comfortable…” “Full!!”
Like the woman in the mirror with no face and black teeth, their bodies turned transparent in an instant, gradually transforming into points of light.
The confused look in the little ghosts’ eyes cleared, and their terrifying faces revealed child-like smiles.
“Thank you…” “Thanks a lot!” “Thanks, big brother!”
You’re welcome.” He walked back to the table and sat down, resting his chin on his hands.
“So, would anyone else like to give it a try?”
With a bang, the pile of ghosts and goblins erupted in noise, chaotic as a stirred pot.
A wandering skeleton barely kept its jaw from falling off, it reached up to hold it in place, but before it could speak, a fish-headed man, unable to sit still, hurried to the table, gesticulating wildly, “Ah oolala ooga wow!!!”
The Superpower User observed carefully for a while and asked, “Mr.
Fish, do you know sign language or any other method of communication?
Nod if you do, shake your head if you don’t.”
The fish-headed man nearly shook his head off.
“You are clear-headed and resolute in your actions, and you sell fish and shrimp at your stall, so you must be an experienced fisherman.
You have no physical disabilities and don’t know sign language, which means you didn’t originally have a communication barrier.
The most obvious oddity is naturally that big fish head…”
Shiyu Ling frowned and said, “Fish head?
I see him as a 40-year-old local man.”
Hearing this, Gongsun Ce understood much of it.
Smiling, he said, “Miss Shiyu, please use your Impermanence Skill.”
After a few seconds of thought, Shiyu Ling said with a strange expression, “…
The fish-headed man’s speech immediately became clear, “.., it’s just, Master, can you help me see what the problem is?
I talk to them for ages, and they never understand—ah!”
Gongsun Ce patted the fish-headed man on the shoulder.
“If a fox face can speak human language, why not a fish head?
Your communication barrier is due to a psychological issue, not a lack of ability.
How do you feel now?”
The fish-headed man, tears in his eyes, gave him a hug full of fishy smell.
You both are truly masters!!
Great kindness, great debt!!”
He ran to the group of spirits and happily chatted for a few moments before peacefully transforming into a point of light and disappearing.
The goblins and monsters were nearly popping their eyes out.
A one-eyed goblin scurried to the front of the table, clasped his hands together, and said, “Sir!
Would you mind taking a look at our family too?”
His words were like throwing a lit firecracker into a bonfire, stoking the non-human wails and howls as they swarmed forward, the dark mass enough to leave a lifelong psychological shadow in any child’s mind.
“Master, take a look at me too!” “Sir, help me!” “Master, I’ll add money, check me first!!!”
Gongsun Ce hastily stood up, “Voluntary work, no fee!
Everyone, no need to rush, get in line, get in line!!”
