Free Web NovelAfter carefully inspecting the scene and finding no abnormalities, Li Xuan quickly organized the members of his Special Operations Team and began to evacuate the surrounding onlookers.
Those onlookers were enjoying the spectacle and initially didn't want to cooperate.
However, no matter how high the desire to join in the fun, it couldn't compare to the fear of death.
Seeing Li Xuan and the members of the Special Operations Team put on masks and claiming that He Ruo's cause of death might be some malignant disease related to the black night disease, everyone immediately ran away quickly, as if evil spirits were chasing them.
Soon, the entire corridor quieted down.
After the onlookers were evacuated, Li Xuan instructed a member of the Special Operations Team beside him to retrieve special warning signs from the car.
After doing all this, he took off his mask, looked in the direction where Lu Yibei had disappeared, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His suspicion of Lu Yibei was not without reason. Not long ago, when he went downstairs to Lu Yibei's home to observe secretly, he personally saw the broken window of her home and the dark, empty room behind the window.
However, when he went to her home to check, he found that the broken window had been repaired and the room was brightly lit.
In less than twenty minutes, repairing a completely shattered floor-to-ceiling window, could a normal person do that?
Even if that S-level Spiritual Energy fluctuation didn't come from Lu Yibei's home, it's highly likely that her home is hiding urban legend.
"Ah—!" Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he thought, and muttered to himself in a low voice, "I'm really strange. I'm clearly so afraid of trouble, so why do I always think about these things?"
Just as his words fell, his body suddenly froze, and he stood rooted to the spot as if petrified.
He felt a very strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation. That domineering and scorching Spiritual Energy fluctuation came from upstairs, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if the area not far upstairs had turned into a sea of fire, and even the air seemed to have a burnt smell, like an illusion.
What surprised Li Xuan was that the intensity of that Spiritual Energy fluctuation was very unstable. At its strongest, it made him feel like a Calamity was imminent, and at its weakest, it made him feel "I can do it too!"
Just as he wanted to more accurately pinpoint the source of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation and contact Night Watch colleagues for support, that Spiritual Energy fluctuation, like a spark extinguished by heavy rain, suddenly disappeared.
Gone? What was that thing?
Li Xuan stared upstairs, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty, and immediately he thought of Lu Yibei's presence.
That's right, Lu Yibei, that kid is still upstairs!
Could it be...
Li Xuan became serious, gritted his teeth, reached into his jacket pocket and took out a rune that looked like it was carved and painted from a pebble, or fired from clay.
He held the rune between two fingers and softly chanted something in his mouth, then saw a faint blue light flash on the rune, condensing into the shape of an eye.
He met the gaze of the illusory eye formed by the faint blue light and peered into the situation on the other side of the paired rune.
He saw a girl.
To be precise, it was a girl with long dark green hair. She was wrapped in a bath towel, water droplets hung on her milky white skin, wisps of steam floated around her, looking like she had just come out of the bath. She sat brazenly in front of the computer, muttering something.
"Damn, died again! How can I become stronger?" As she spoke, she alt-tabbed out of the game, opened her browser, typed 【How to become stronger in games?】 into the search bar and hit enter, and immediately a large number of answers popped up.
【Power Leveling + Q】, 【Grind to Change Fate】, 【Pay to Win, Invincible】, 【With one key in hand, the world is mine, Key, ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) come!】...
"Hmm..." The girl stared at the computer screen and rested her chin in her hand, pondering.
She was really seriously considering whether to grab a few believers to help her power level, grind, and curse people, and if possible, also spend some money on in-game purchases.
After all, the feeling of experiencing that in the game, of not being able to win fights and not even being able to win curse battles, was truly stifling.
Winning fights and winning curse battles, you have to achieve at least one, right?
However, before she could abandon her divine integrity and do something shameless, an unusual, weak Spiritual Energy fluctuation stopped her.
She looked in the direction from which the Spiritual Energy fluctuation came, locked onto a small item on the corner of Lu Yibei's desk, frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
"Who is it? Who's peeking!?"
...
After hearing the girl's loud shout, Li Xuan's vision suddenly plunged into a vibrant green. That dazzling green color carried terrifying energy, like a giant hammer striking his soul.
His body trembled violently, his entire aura instantly weakened, and it took him quite a while to suppress the surging Qi and blood.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked upstairs, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking to himself, Lu Yibei's home indeed hides urban legend, and a very strong one at that.
Damn it, I should have been more careful. Now the rune is destroyed, and I couldn't leave any evidence, things will be difficult now.
Discovering Lu Yibei's secret once again, coupled with some minor injuries to his body, made Li Xuan suddenly lose the desire to investigate that fleeting Spiritual Energy fluctuation upstairs.
Investigating in his current state would likely only result in death.
But...
If such a dangerous thing is allowed to hide within the school, would that really be okay? Li Xuan thought, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the members of the Special Operations Team behind him.
"You guys stay here and guard, I'll go scout around nearby."
"Understood."
Hearing the members of the Special Operations Team respond, Li Xuan nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the stairwell leading upstairs in the distance.
He decided to go upstairs and take a look, even if it was very dangerous, he had to see...
...
Meanwhile, inside the Special Written Content Research Room.
Professor Ma had already lost count of how many times he had run to the restroom and how many buckets of water he had dumped on Lu Yibei. If it weren't for him being old but strong, with a robust body, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on anymore. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
However...
Lu Yibei showed no signs of waking up, sitting upright in the chair, holding the bamboo slip in her hand. Smoke curled around her body. The water spilled on the ground formed a thin layer, as if boiling, and stepping on it was scalding.
"This... this... sigh!" Professor Ma hesitated, finally let out a long sigh, picked up the empty bucket again, and turned to walk towards the restroom.
Although splashing water on Lu Yibei didn't seem to be of much use, he couldn't just stand there and do nothing, could he? Professor Ma thought.
Carrying the empty bucket out of the research room, Professor Ma headed directly to the restroom within the Special Written Content Research Room, and quickly filled a bucket with water and returned.
However, when he saw the scene in the room again, he was startled, his body trembled violently, the bucket in his hand also fell to the ground with a "clang", and the clean water splashed all over the floor with a "whoosh".
Inside the research room, Lu Yibei had disappeared at some point, replaced by a petite girl with pinkish-white long hair, completely naked.
Dense steam, thick enough to obscure one's fingers, filled the air around her. Although it covered most of her body, the feeling of partial concealment like holding a pipa made it even more alluring.
Seeing the scene before him, Professor Ma was stunned for a few seconds. Just then, the girl let out a soft, sweet moan, her eyelids trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.
"Mm, un... ying ning..."
Hearing the soft voice beside his ear, feeling the surrounding temperature rapidly dropping, and seeing the girl's exquisite body in his sight gradually outlining lines that made him blush within the dense steam, Professor Ma suddenly snapped back to his senses.
He muttered, "Oh dear, oh dear, this won't do, this won't do!" He took a few steps forward, took off his Coat, and before the full view was revealed, he covered the girl with his Coat, turned his face away, and walked to the side.
Although the girl's age looked old enough to be his granddaughter, and if he accidentally saw something, he could shamelessly say "No harm done!"
But some things that shouldn't be done simply shouldn't be done. This was the most basic integrity of a scholar and a Teacher.
The moment Professor Ma covered Lu Yibei with his Coat, she immediately woke up, suddenly opened her eyes, and a flicker of firelight flashed in her deep eyes.
Feeling the discomfort of her wet hair sticking to her body and smelling the sour odor of mop water that had evaporated in the air, she was just about to complain, but suddenly noticed that she was back in the research room.
The research room was filled with steam, like a sauna.
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment. Before she could think further, she heard Professor Ma's trembling voice by her ear, "You, who are you? Where is Lu Yibei?"
"I am..."
Professor Ma's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, "?????"
The moment Lu Yibei opened her mouth, she realized something was wrong. Her voice stopped abruptly. The original indifferent yet somewhat masculine voice was gone, replaced by a soft, sweet voice that made her cheeks flush.
Holy crap! Holy crap!? Changed? Changed in front of Professor Ma?
Didn't he just witness the entire process, and now there's no way to deny it? What should I do?
Kill him to silence him? Isn't that too cruel?
Put a mark on him, give him a buff, and make him my follower too?
No, no, that Miss Du Sixian is silly and already very annoying. If there's another Professor who's highly curious and extremely shrewd, wouldn't I be annoyed to death?
Lu Yibei was thinking a million thoughts, but then heard Professor Ma ask, "You, you wouldn't happen to be Lu Yibei, would you?"
His tone of voice was full of doubt, as if he couldn't believe the strange scene unfolding before him.
He had lived for so long, what kind of scene hadn't he seen?
Okay, although he had never seen this particular scene before, but as a mature, knowledgeable, and reliable male, such a situation was still within the scope of what he could bear.
"I actually..." Lu Yibei frowned tightly, opened her mouth, and for a moment didn't know how to explain to Professor Ma.
Just then, a knock came from the direction of the research room.
"Knock knock knock—knock knock knock—!"
Along with the knocking sound, Li Xuan's voice came from outside the door, "Hello, Professor Ma, I am Lu Yibei's friend. Is Lu Yibei in?"
