Lu Yibei set up the trap, found a hidden spot to place the Senior (female), and hid herself. After waiting for about an hour, she realized something very serious.
Tonight, love and magical girls has a major event update...
No, that's a secondary matter. The more important thing is that she might have thought something wrong: the guy who attacked the Headless Senior might not necessarily follow her.
Perhaps it attacked the Headless Senior simply because she saw something she shouldn't have while observing in secret.
It's probably like when Ju Meng saw my treasured magical girl costume. Lu Yibei thought, although I didn't want to kill her, if my strength allowed, I would want to beat her until she had stress-induced amnesia.
However...
It's also possible that the guy is extremely patient and wants to wait for me to lower my guard. Lu Yibei's gaze slightly narrowed as she thought, in that case, there's nothing I can do but endure this night and worry about other things later.
Anyway, I am very patient. Do you know how long it can take to make a Sichuan dish?
Do you know that I once stayed in a dark internet cafe waiting for a wild mineral node in a game, enduring alongside players from the opposing faction until my Old Dad reported me missing to the police station?
Do you know that when I played "Hearthstone" and "Yu-Gi-Oh!", my favorite decks were Mole Priest and Duellinks respectively?
When it comes to patience, I, Lu Yibei, am not afraid! My nickname, Flower City Torment King, is me!
Lu Yibei was thinking mischievously when she suddenly felt a drop of cold liquid hit her face, followed closely by two, three... countless cold water droplets hitting her head-on.
The heavy rain that had been brewing in the sky finally fell. This was probably the biggest rain in Hua City since autumn began. In the blink of an eye, everything in front of her turned into a hazy, misty rain, and the air was filled with the cold and desolate chill unique to autumn rain.
At this moment, our Flower City Torment King's mindset gradually began to change...
...
The sudden downpour also slowed Gu Qianqian's pace as she followed the mark on her arm towards the bamboo slip. She ducked into a teaching building, found a large black raincoat and plastic rain boots to put on, and quickly emerged again.
The owner of the raincoat and rain boots was the school's cleaning lady responsible for cleaning the three teaching buildings on the east side of the campus. The cleaning lady had a particularly good relationship with Gu Qianqian and often hired Gu Qianqian at a very low price to clean the three teaching buildings for her.
Yes, unloading goods for the cafeteria is not Gu Qianqian's only part-time job at school. According to incomplete statistics, her part-time jobs include unloading for the cafeteria, cleaning teaching buildings, making props for the drama club, reserving seats for people in the library, and a series of over twenty different types.
As long as it makes money and isn't illegal, there's nothing Gu Qianqian isn't willing to do!
Sometimes, even the system is amazed by this, completely unable to figure out where she gets so much time and energy to complete these part-time jobs on time and with quality.
Perhaps this is the unique cheat of a "protagonist"?
The pouring rain seemed to draw a translucent curtain across the campus under the night sky. Everything in front of her became blurred, which also allowed Gu Qianqian to unleash her Spiritual Energy unscrupulously, rapidly approaching the direction of the bamboo slip according to her senses.
Then...
When she arrived at the intersection of Four Gate Main Street, she suddenly stopped, her rain boots stepping on the road, dragging out a string of white water splashes.
"Wait a minute, Gu Qianqian, something's not right!" The system's voice sounded in Gu Qianqian's mind.
"Huh?! What's wrong now! Didn't you say we should go see where the bamboo slip is?" Gu Qianqian complained.
"I did say that, but don't you think it's too strange for the bamboo slip to appear on Four Gate Main Street?" the system said.
"I don't think so!" Gu Qianqian said blankly, "Isn't it normal for those weird things to run around everywhere?"
The system was momentarily speechless, "..."
What Gu Qianqian said did have some [N O V E L I G H T] truth to it!
Logically speaking, it's not strange for the bamboo slip to appear anywhere on campus. That thing involves a fallen mythological urban legend. Even if it suddenly came alive and ran around, it wouldn't be something incredible.
It's also normal for it to run to a place where urban legend are hidden, as there is more than one place on this campus hiding B Level, or even higher, urban legend.
Just like the small garden on the top floor of the library, the underground drainage system, Four Gate Main Street, etc., all fall within this range.
However, apart from those legendary urban legend that are deeply ingrained in people's minds, ordinary urban legend usually have a strong sense of "territory."
This sense of territory isn't like wild dogs fighting each other for turf, but rather avoiding unnecessary influence caused by interacting with each other.
If the activity areas of two different urban legend overlap too much, the rumors about them will intersect and become homogenized. Over time, they may merge, making it difficult to maintain individual independence.
Although this is one of the ways some powerful urban legend are born, few urban legend are willing to sacrifice their individual independence in exchange for an uncertain possibility of advancement.
Therefore, the system always feels that something is wrong with the bamboo slip appearing in an area with urban legend.
In this situation, either the bamboo slip has undergone some change that the system doesn't know about, coming "alive" and starting to hunt urban legend on campus.
Or, the urban legend hidden on Four Gate Main Street discovered the secret of the bamboo slip and attacked Professor Ma, who possessed the bamboo slip.
Regardless of the situation, it needs to be handled cautiously... The system pondered for a moment and said solemnly to Gu Qianqian, "Gu Qianqian, get ready, there will likely be a fight soon!"
"Oh, so we're fighting? You should have said so earlier!" Gu Qianqian pouted, raised a hand, reached into the collar of her raincoat, fumbled for a while, and pulled out the metal baseball bat that the system had enchanted, gripping it tightly with both hands.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, underground at Huacheng Institute of Technology, in the sewer, Miss Rabbit followed closely behind the Eclipse Society member, moving along the dark and damp path.
The rain outside grew heavier and heavier, and the water flow in the sewer became more turbulent. Before long, the rising water level submerged their calves.
Yes, she did not know the man's name. She had actively asked, but the man had chuckled and brushed it off. Since then, she had not asked again.
Things like names didn't have much impact on their cooperative relationship. Anyway, after signing the contract, she wasn't too worried about the man playing tricks.
Moreover, in the world of urban legend and Psychic, there are many situations that make them unwilling to reveal their names voluntarily.
For example, guarding against curses, avoiding enemy divination, or if the person is a demonic urban legend or a Psychic with a demonic urban legend Spirit Mark, their combat power will greatly decrease after their real name is known and shouted out loudly... and so on.
After walking for a while, a sickening stench gradually drifted through the air, as if something dead and rotten was hidden in an unseen place.
The dark and confined pipe gave a strange illusion, as if they were moving further and further away from the familiar world with light, delving into some alien realm buried with infinite secrets.
As she passed a pipe, Miss Rabbit heard some very faint human voices. Although the voices were faint, they were exceptionally clear, and even the sound of the rushing water couldn't cover them. frёeωebɳovel.com
She stared at the pipe, stopped, and frowned slightly. It was a very old metal pipe, possibly no longer in use, covered in rust, fungi, and hydrophilic plants.
Listening quietly, the sound occasionally emitted from the metal pipe, like a music box about to break, made her somewhat entranced for a moment.
Just then, the man patted her shoulder and whispered, "Don't look. That guy isn't interested in cooperating with us. I came and talked to him alone before."
"What is that?" Miss Rabbit asked with a frown.
"That?" The man shrugged and explained, "Just like the urban legend in all schools where singing comes from the pipes late at night, this school has one too."
Hearing this, Miss Rabbit suddenly understood. She had long heard of the evil spirit urban legend known as "Singing in the Toilet Pipes." In a sense, it could be considered one of the strongest evil spirit urban legend.
After all, its legend exists in schools all over the world. Killing a clone in a certain school cannot fundamentally harm it.
To make it disappear from this world, one would have to dismantle all school toilets or find a way to completely distort its legend. Both methods are undoubtedly very difficult to achieve.
"Then who are we going to see...?" Miss Rabbit trailed off.
"Hehe!" The man chuckled honestly, "Have you heard of the male student at Huacheng Institute of Technology who, over a year ago, hid hundreds of wild cat corpses in his single dorm room?"
Miss Rabbit nodded slightly, "I heard that after those wild cat corpses were cleaned up, he committed suicide and became a urban legend. Could it be...?"
"That's right, he's been hiding in the sewers of this school," the man confirmed.
Hearing this, a look of disgust appeared on Miss Rabbit's face. Although she also killed people, those were purposeful actions. In contrast, a madman who senselessly tortured and killed wild cats purely for perverted gratification always made her feel some contempt.
However, there was nothing they could do. Before that moment arrived, they had to organize a Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, so they needed these relatively powerful urban legend.
Miss Rabbit pondered and followed the man for a while longer. Gradually, faint, intermittent pitiful cat meows drifted from ahead. Hearing the sound, the man quickened his pace and walked forward. Just then, an unexpected situation occurred.
"Buzz—!"
The sound of an explosion transmitted through the ground into the sewer, turning into a low hum that spread along the dark and narrow sewer, like another strange beast hidden somewhere deep within the sewer, letting out a terrifying low growl. Intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations came from the ground.
The intermittent cat meows ahead stopped abruptly. Miss Rabbit and the Eclipse Society man both stiffened and stopped, looking in the direction from which the Spiritual Energy fluctuations came.
This...
What the heck is this? What's going on? Are there some big shots having a fight at Li Gong University tonight? So openly, aren't they afraid of being targeted by the Night Watch?
In the direction of the explosion and Spiritual Energy fluctuations, there were at least three, no, four dangerous auras! The intensity of each aura was no weaker than her former Master...
