Free Web Novel"Lu Yibei..."
"Hmm? What is it, Professor?"
Lu Yibei didn't know why Professor Ma suddenly became serious. Looking at his stern face, which could make any student nervous, she couldn't help but straighten her back, placing her hands neatly on her knees, as obedient as a primary school student waiting for the Teacher to ask a question.
Professor Ma was indeed Professor Ma, worthy of being a leader in the field. After going through so much, he still acted as if nothing had happened. Lu Yibei secretly sighed.
"I think that set of Bamboo Scrolls probably shouldn't stay at the school anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid big problems will arise," Professor Ma said, his tone heavy and carrying a hint of regret.
"..." Lu Yibei remained silent, waiting for Professor Ma to continue, while muttering inwardly, 'You're only realizing this now?'
But that's right, how could an ordinary person realize that set of Bamboo Scrolls had such a big problem without experiencing an incident?
"I'm wondering if you have any way to deal with that set of Bamboo Scrolls? Or, can you find someone to handle it?" Professor Ma continued.
"Ah?"
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment when she heard Professor Ma make such a choice. When she came back to her senses, she felt extremely unwilling.
I can't handle this kind of thing. People will die. It would be better to hand it over to the Night Watch.
But if I hand it over to the Night Watch, will that fellow Li Xuan pull some tricks behind my back?
After all, last time when he came to investigate He Ruo's cause of death, Professor and I didn't reveal anything, which probably counts as suspicion of withholding information.
After a brief thought, Lu Yibei immediately switched to "I'm not taking this blame" mode and started rambling.
"Professor, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for me to help you with this? Think about it! What is that set of Bamboo Scrolls? It's something that killed three, perhaps even more people! How can I..."
"Are you scared?"
"Professor, I'm not scared, let's be reasonable! In principle..."
"Sigh——!"
Halfway through her sentence, Lu Yibei suddenly heard Professor Ma sigh and said with a melancholic tone, "Originally, I planned to help you lighten your burden and write a little less."
"Since you're scared and so principled, I can only..."
"Wait a minute!" Lu Yibei raised her hand to stop Professor Ma from continuing, raising her head and staring at him with burning eyes. Coupled with her expressionless face, she looked particularly serious.
"Professor, actually, I'm a person with absolutely no principles, really! As long as someone asks me a little, I'll soften."
"So, since you've spoken, leave the matter of the Bamboo Scrolls to me."
Professor Ma looked at Lu Yibei patting her chest in assurance and was a bit startled.
He also felt that the Bamboo Scrolls were highly dangerous and only asked Lu Yibei for help because he really couldn't think of any other way. After all, the only person he knew who could use mysterious power was Lu Yibei.
Furthermore, he didn't expect Lu Yibei to necessarily agree. Agreeing was kindness, not agreeing was duty. He never expected her to not only agree now but also agree so readily.
Does her black night disease, besides turning her into a girl, have some other side effect that makes her skin thicker? Professor Ma thought.
The reason Lu Yibei agreed to Professor Ma and offered to keep the Bamboo Scrolls for him, besides her own belief that the Bamboo Scrolls should not remain at the school, was because for a moment just now, she thought of Ju Meng.
With such a great deity hidden at home, what is there to be afraid of?
Didn't she ask me to help collect the core of urban legend entities?
Then I'll put the Bamboo Scrolls at home. If any urban legend run out of the Bamboo Scrolls by then, Ju Meng will just gobble them up one by one.
Improving her diet from takeout to a buffet, that fellow will probably be grinning from ear to ear, right?
However, if she recovers and continues to look for me, there might be problems, right? Should I think of a way to poison this urban legend entity core or something and just kill her directly?
Lu Yibei was calculating her various dark thoughts in her mind. Just then, Professor Ma's face turned serious again.
"Lu Yibei, there's another very serious matter that requires your help."
Looking at his serious face, she was stunned for a moment and thought, 'The Bamboo Scrolls are dealt with, what other trouble could there be?'
"Hmm? Please tell me."
"It's just..." Professor Ma hesitated for a long time, his old face turning red, before holding his forehead and saying, "Please help me call an ambulance. I twisted my back just now and can't move..."
After speaking, Professor Ma could no longer support himself and slumped onto the chair.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Don't try to be tough when you're old, Grandpa and Granddaughter, 呸! Master and disciple, what's the difference?
This is completely unnecessary!
...
After resolving the crisis, Lu Yibei originally wanted to personally escort Professor Ma home, after all, no one knew if any urban legend might suddenly make a comeback.
But in the end, seeing him being taken away by the ambulance, Lu Yibei felt much more at ease and didn't follow.
However, for some reason, after the Doctor arrived and initially diagnosed Professor Ma with a lumbar disc soft tissue contusion, the accompanying nurse's eyes looking at Lu Yibei became subtle.
Late night, loli, old Professor, messy research room...
Looking at the ambulance driving away, Lu Yibei pondered for a while, always feeling that those Miss nurses were thinking of something strange.
...
Special Text Content Research Room.
Shortly after Lu Yibei and Professor Ma left, the entire research room fell into darkness and deathly silence, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.
"Gurgle—gurgle—!"
In the darkness, the sound of bubbles rising suddenly echoed in the research room's bathroom. Gradually, more and more sewage gushed out of the sink, filling the entire sink, and then spilled over with a "splash."
As the sewage continuously surged outwards, a pale finger squeezed out from the drain of the sink, followed by the entire arm, a shriveled head, a hunched body...
Soon, an Old man with a hunched back, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) wearing a brightly colored burial shroud and pale skin, crawled out of the sink. On his wrinkled face, a large mouth, the corners almost curved up to his ears.
One of his arms was severed at the shoulder by something, the empty sleeve hanging limply. In one hand, he carried a blood-red lantern, whose candlelight illuminated his face hideously.
He walked out of the bathroom, stood at the door, stiffly twisted his neck to look around, and then let out a strange guttural sound.
He floated forward and quickly merged into the darkness, disappearing to who knows where. Perhaps he would leave, or it was very likely he would continue to stay in some corner of the campus, waiting for a "chance encounter."
...
After watching the ambulance carrying Professor Ma drive away, the surroundings quickly fell silent.
Lu Yibei carried the ancient wooden box containing the Bamboo Scrolls, shrugged, and turned to walk towards the school gate. At the same time, she used this time to think alone.
I got a urban legend entity core. I can take it back to deal with Ju Meng and ask her if deities can also die. Lu Yibei thought.
Judging from the various scenes seen in the Bamboo Scroll Illusion, the thing hidden beneath the sinkhole was very likely the deity found by that ancient army.
But it looked lifeless, exuding death and malice, which always made Lu Yibei feel very uneasy, causing her to wonder if deities could also die.
From a certain perspective, deities are also urban legend. They can certainly die if certain conditions are met.
Lu Yibei just wanted to get confirmation from Ju Meng and also ask how deities die if they can.
Tomorrow, she also had class with Jiang Li, so she could ask her as well and then combine and compare the two answers.
Hmm, that's what I'll do!
Temporarily setting aside the issue of the Bamboo Scrolls, Lu Yibei quickly thought of a new problem, which was that after helping Professor Ma multiple times, her First Light Spring Wind Curse was almost used up!
Only over thirty left!
Insufficient ammunition reserves, it really makes me feel completely insecure.
I need to discuss this with Ju Meng later. I'll only give her half of this urban legend entity core. I need the other half to make talismans. Lu Yibei thought.
But soon, she realized that she might not have the chance to make new talismans.
Because she encountered a "roadblock and robbery"...
...
Leaving the Faculty of Arts Experimental Building and returning to the Four Gate Main Street.
Lu Yibei was preparing to leave under the cover of night. Because the Headless Senior had guided her before, she subconsciously regarded her as a kind urban legend and didn't expect her to appear again.
Until...
"Thump thump thump—thump thump thump—!" A muffled thud sounded in her ears, sounding like a basketball bouncing on the ground.
Under the night sky, on the desolate and dilapidated road, a furry head bounced from the roadside and rolled to the middle of the road, then spun around, a pair of cloudy eyes locking onto Lu Yibei.
Seeing the scene before her, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out the Headless Senior's intention, she heard the sound of high heels running frantically behind her.
She was stunned for a moment, turned around abruptly, and saw the headless figure with a blood-stained long dress.
Head separated from the body? What kind of divine operation is this?
The Headless Senior's body and head had her sandwiched in the middle of the road, one in front and one behind. Lu Yibei always felt something was fishy and felt a chill down her spine. She looked back and forth, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to make the head the target of her conversation.
"Senior, what do you mean by this? Are you here to see me off? Ah, that's completely unnecessary. We are all students of this school, there's no need to be so polite."
"Core, core..." freewebnσvel.cѳm
As Lu Yibei was speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from behind her. Her body trembled. The sound sounded like something was in its mouth, muffled and unclear.
Not good, she's here to rob me!
Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She immediately drew her cleaver and turned around abruptly. Immediately after, she heard a scream.
She saw a strange scream coming from the severed neck of the Headless Senior, spraying more than half a meter of foul blood, her body trembling...
"Ran...ran away?" Lu Yibei tilted her head, looking at the headless figure gradually moving away, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses.
She seems to be very afraid of me?
With such a small 膽, she dares to be a robber? Does she really need the urban legend entity core that much?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed something furry beside her.
"Hey! Senior, you haven't picked up your head yet!"
Lu Yibei called out, and only then did the head left on the ground realize something was wrong. It was about to roll away but was stopped by her.
Lu Yibei squatted down and pressed down on the Headless Senior's head with one hand. Just then, she heard crying beside her ear, accompanied by some muffled words.
"Wuwuwu, don't kill me, I'm just, just starving..."
Lu Yibei, "..." I actually scared a female ghost into crying?
Is there something wrong with me, or is the quality of robbers this year not good enough?
But since she mustered the courage to come, of course, I can't let her leave so easily, right?!
Lu Yibei thought, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes, and silently raised her cleaver...
