Free Web NovelAfter taking Lu Yibei and Gu Qianqian out of the police station, Professor Ma did not stay long, as there were many things waiting for him back at school.
Before leaving, he called Lu Yibei aside. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Is that Miss really a student from our school?" Professor Ma asked Lu Yibei, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Gu Qianqian not far away as he spoke.
How come I've never heard that our school has such impoverished students that they have to live under a bridge? Professor Ma thought.
"This..." Lu Yibei was momentarily unsure how to explain to Professor Ma.
Her few encounters with Gu Qianqian were mostly related to urban legend, which were not suitable for Professor Ma to know. frёeωebɳovel.com
So, she could only make something up, saying, "She is very proud and doesn't want people to know."
"..." Professor Ma pondered for a few seconds, frowning, "How can that be? Poverty caused by family background and unfortunate circumstances is nothing to be ashamed of."
"When I was young and in college, didn't I also rely on scholarships and assistance from teachers and elders to complete my studies?"
"Alright." Professor Ma said after a brief moment of thought, "Tell her later that the school has many poverty alleviation policies, as well as student loans and such things. Tell her to try applying for them, and absolutely do not let it delay her studies."
"Also, if she encounters any difficulties, she can contact me anytime."
"Then I..." Lu Yibei opened her mouth, just about to say something, but saw Professor Ma's face sink, interrupting the words she was about to speak.
"You can't! If you cause trouble again, I'll spill your secret!"
Professor Ma was truly a bit scared by Lu Yibei and was afraid she would cause some deadly trouble again.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Wow, Professor, what you said really hurts! I wasn't planning on causing you any trouble!
Do I look like the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?
Most of the time, trouble finds me, and I try to run away. Lu Yibei thought. It's just that sometimes I can't escape, and you can't blame me for that, right?
...
Just as Lu Yibei was talking to Professor Ma privately.
Not far away, Gu Qianqian, standing by the street, was secretly observing them while communicating with the system in her mind.
"system, look at how sneaky they both are. Don't they look like those two bad guys from the human meat bun shop last time?"
"Yes." The system replied as briefly as possible.
Not only do they look similar, but they might be even more terrifying than the urban legend from the human meat bun shop.
The urban legend from the human meat bun shop might at most eat your flesh, but if you fall into the hands of a Disaster, you might not even have bone fragments left.
The system muttered inwardly, as if seeing the scene of that frosty-faced girl holding a kitchen knife spitting flames walking towards it step by step, making it shiver with fear.
"Gu Qianqian, later when she comes over, do exactly as I tell you. Only then can we successfully save our lives," the system whispered in Gu Qianqian's mind.
Based on its understanding of the Disaster, it was confident it could bluff its way through.
"I understand, but, system..."
"Hmm?"
"Are we not running this time?" Gu Qianqian asked softly, "Have you changed your mind and want me to become a mooching protagonist, just like I said?"
"Nonsense!" The system was momentarily agitated, almost losing control and leaking Spiritual Energy fluctuations, then it collected itself, and its voice quieted down again.
"This is called feigning compliance. We are just showing weakness temporarily, and then..."
"Huh?! I get it!" Gu Qianqian's words were cut short as her gaze suddenly sharpened.
system, "..." I haven't finished speaking yet, what do you understand? If you were really that clever, would I have to worry so much?
"Do you mean you want me to become friends with her first, fight alongside her, gain her trust, and then at the crucial moment, turn against her, killing her and destroying her spirit?" Gu Qianqian said seriously, "system, you're so bad!"
system, "..."
I'm not bad, you are!
Damn it, did this Miss Gu Qianqian suddenly hear information about her family just now, remember something, awaken something strange, and start to turn dark?
However, what she said is also a path I hadn't considered.
Perhaps, it's really worth a try?
Before this, the system's hosts were all hot-blooded youths who firmly believed in the protagonist's destiny.
Hot-blooded king-type protagonists wouldn't stoop to backstabbing. They all had strong confidence in their protagonist cheats and powerful glib tongues, and then...
And then there was no 'then'.
Because not only were their cheats not as powerful as the Disaster, but their glib tongues couldn't compare either.
After all, before Lu Yibei became a Strange Tale, her main skill was her knack for spouting trash talk the moment she opened her mouth.
However, this method carries great risk! The system thought, if they can't successfully eliminate her, being betrayed by a friend might accelerate her process of falling into depravity.
They need to plan carefully.
After thinking for a while, the system whispered to Gu Qianqian, "The method you mentioned still needs consideration, but for now, we can try to get on good terms with her. After we've been to that place, we can talk about other things."
After obtaining what they want within the "Remnants of the Python Mountain Chronicle" and laying low for a while, they should have the strength to fight against her. The system thought, the possibilities for action would # Nоvеlight # be much higher then.
"Okay, no problem, I'm best at making friends!" Gu Qianqian said confidently.
The system was taken aback upon hearing this, and its tone became serious, "Gu Qianqian..."
"Hmm?"
"Where do you get this mysterious confidence from? You've lived this long, and besides me, have you had even half a friend?"
"Yes, I have! Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Qianqian retorted, "Wasn't that homeless Uncle before my friend? He even gave me some of the wine he brewed himself."
"I just don't know where he went later. He must have gone to pursue the free paradise he spoke of, right?"
system, "..." I'm afraid you'll be sad if I tell you, but he really didn't consider you a friend.
The system thought of the homeless man Gu Qianqian met when she first started living under the bridge, the one who wanted to get her drunk with his homemade wine and then do unspeakable things to her, and didn't know how to explain it to her.
The system didn't know if that homeless man went to paradise, but it knew that he had indeed been disconnected from this world for a long time.
Speaking of which, that homeless man was unlucky, and his brewing skills were truly touching. He encountered Gu Qianqian, who wouldn't get poisoned even if she drank wine containing a large amount of methanol. Instead, he drank himself to death and was picked up by a Strange Tale to become its meal.
Just as the system was contemplating, Gu Qianqian had already walked forward, put one arm around Lu Yibei's shoulder, and winked, "Little sister, do you want to come to my place? My house is very big, and there are lots of good things!"
system, "!!!"
This idiot, why did she use the line that homeless man said to her on the Disaster?
Is this what she calls being good at making friends?
What should I do? It's over, it's over, she's definitely going to get killed!
"Okay, no problem, let's go to your place!" Lu Yibei said, showing no resistance at all.
The system was thinking in panic, but then heard Lu Yibei agree without hesitation.
Although what Gu Qianqian said was very problematic, Lu Yibei was originally worried about where to hide.
In her current state, going home and being seen by Ju Meng was a dead end. Wandering around outside, if she happened to be seen by someone from the Night Watch, it would also be a dead end. The best solution was to find a deserted place to hide.
Since Gu Qianqian suggested it, it might as well follow her idea and hide under the bridge, leaving before dawn tomorrow. Lu Yibei thought.
