Free Web NovelAfter the Headless Senior broke free and advanced, and was fortunately witnessed by the patrolling security Uncle, Lu Yibei dragged her and quickly fled the "crime" scene.
Honestly, when elements like campus, cherry blossoms, a female ghost in red, and old buildings with a rich historical atmosphere are mixed together and spread, the lovely students of Huacheng Institute of Technology can quickly weave a spine-chilling legend of urban legend.
Rumors and gossip are like living things; they grow on their own!
...
A moment later, inside the small warehouse near the Four Gate Main Street at Huacheng Institute of Technology.
Lu Yibei tilted her head, listening to the faint sound of ambulance sirens from outside the warehouse. Only after confirming the ambulance had gone far did she lift the Spell that enveloped the small warehouse, shielding Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Using the Spells learned from the Night Watch's Spell "textbook" to shield herself from the Night Watch's detection, she had become increasingly skilled at such lawless and disorderly deeds recently.
"Click, click!"
In the darkness, two soft clicks of a lighter sounded.
A small flame flickered, lighting the candle, and the warm, gentle light illuminated the twenty-square-meter small warehouse.
The candle was picked up by Lu Yibei. Anyway, Jin Yecheng used it to mourn the Headless Senior, and now it could barely be considered used on her, which was just right.
Inside the small warehouse, several cardboard boxes, forgotten for who knows how long, were piled in a corner, their surfaces covered in stains left by dead mold and thick dust.
The sundries picked up by the Little Freaks were scattered messily on the ground: broken ballpoint pens, lidless lunch boxes, yellowed notebooks... and even the skeletons of sparrows and rats.
Two white memorial candles, printed with the character "Memorial" (Dian - meaning 'to offer sacrifice'), were placed on the ground, adding a few more eerie and strange vibes to the already dilapidated and crumbling small warehouse.
Two girls were squatting. Lu Yibei stared at the time capsule, the Headless Senior watched her, and a group of strangely shaped Little Freaks surrounded them.
This bizarre scene seemed as if some ancient and evil ritual was being performed.
In the silence, the Headless Senior took a deep breath and reached out towards the time capsule. Just as her fingertips were about to touch it, Lu Yibei let out a soft exclamation.
"Wait, don't touch it!"
Hearing this, the Headless Senior quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, then looked at Lu Yibei and asked weakly, "Is... is there a problem?"
"Yes!" Lu Yibei nodded. "There's a problem, a big problem!"
Her eyes felt slightly warm. In her sight, the two time capsules were surrounded by a dense, silk-like blood mist.
Through her spiritual sense, she could also detect faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations and an uncomfortable, filthy and unclean aura.
These two time capsules became like this not long after being dug out from under the cherry tree.
But if it were just like this, it wouldn't be a big problem.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from the blood mist were from the same source as the Headless Senior's Spiritual Energy fluctuations; they were residual fluctuations of her Spiritual Energy.
To put it simply, that thing had been handled by her for so long that it had developed a patina.
However, Lu Yibei observed repeatedly for a long time before finally confirming that within the blood mist swirling around one of the time capsules, there were also tiny traces of pitch black.
That was most likely the source causing her eyes to feel warm.
Although it was just warmth and not intense burning pain, it still meant there was a risk...
Senior (female) didn't know what the scumbag had put in the time capsule. It was like opening a blind box; God knows what would come out. It was better to be careful!
While thinking, Lu Yibei stood up, turned around, and waved at the group of Little Freaks. "Disperse, all of you. Go outside the small warehouse and watch from a distance. There might be danger next."
The group of Little Freaks, staring at her with dozens of strangely shaped little eyes, remained unmoved.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei thought for a moment, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said sinisterly, "This Venerable One is a bit hungry and is preparing to randomly select two lucky little spectators to fill her stomach. Who agrees, and who opposes?"
As her words fell, the group of Little Freaks scattered in a rush, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yibei rubbed her forehead helplessly.
Can't I speak human language to you, huh?
Oh, they are all urban legend. Then it's fine.
While thinking, Lu Yibei looked at the Headless Senior, opened her mouth, and was just about to say something when she saw her body shiver. With a panicked expression and dodging gaze, she said weakly, "I... I don't taste good."
Lu Yibei, "..."
Why would you have such a "cute" thought? Is it because you don't have a head?
----
"Ah—!"
Amidst a pig-slaughtering scream, Lu Yibei forcibly dragged the Headless Senior out of the small warehouse and threw her aside, then casually tossed the shovel she had used to dig the hole under the cherry tree in front of her.
"Senior (female), please dig a hole."
"Who are we burying?" The Headless Senior tilted her head, a hideous scar on her neck splitting open like a mouth.
Lu Yibei glanced around at the surrounding Little Freaks who were watching, and said seriously, "Us."
All the Little Freaks and the Headless Senior, "???"
Seeing this, Lu Yibei rubbed her brow and explained, "Don't let the dense vegetation nearby fool you; there's no cover at all. If there's an explosion or something when we open the time capsule later, what will we do if we can't hide? We should prepare in advance!"
"Oh, oh." The Headless Senior nodded, the scar on her neck opening and closing.
"Alright, you start digging. I'll get ready."
As she spoke, Lu Yibei turned around. With a thought, the passage connecting to the God Kingdom Prototype instantly opened, "spitting" out fifty palm-sized Paper Cicada Immortals and a broken sword.
Gazing at the Paper Cicada Immortals on the ground, her eyes focused slightly. She picked up the Lingtai Pure Karma and gently cut a small slit on her left ring finger.
"Hiss—!" Lu Yibei winced.
Accompanied by a piercing pain, beads of blood welled up on her slender fingertip. She quickly reached out and touched the foreheads of the fifty Paper Cicada Immortals.
Her fingers were like a swift wind, her momentum like lightning!
Then.
Just after touching one-fifth of them, the wound had already healed.
"..."
Looking at her finger, which was as good as new, and thinking of the tens of thousands of Paper Cicada Immortal in stock at Happiness Community, Lu Yibei's mood gradually became heavy.
She felt that after "Lu Yibei Who Was Stabbed Eighteen Times," she would probably soon become the "Disaster Who Suffered a Thousand Cuts."
----
After continuously cutting herself five times and activating all fifty Paper Cicada Immortals, Lu Yibei ate spicy strips on the side, watching the Headless Senior dig the pit, like a cold-blooded slave owner squeezing labor.
After losing so much blood, she needed to replenish it!
A moment later.
After the Headless Senior successfully dug a large pit about three square meters wide and nearly one meter deep in the woods five meters away from the small warehouse, Lu Yibei took action.
While directing the Headless Senior and the group of Little Freaks to hide in the pit, she also jumped in, cast ten defensive Spells, wrapping the pit layer upon layer.
Looking at the faint golden light flowing above her head, Lu Yibei nodded with satisfaction.
If A Hua knew that when I was surrounded at the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy station, I even took the time to secretly learn her Spells, she would definitely be furious, right?
Serves her right to be mad, hehe!
Therefore, silent chanting of Spells is a skill that must be mastered. Otherwise, who knows if there's a dog... a little genius secretly learning on the side?
Lu Yibei thought, concentrating her mind, and began to control those small Paper Cicada Immortals.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause reading progress to be lost. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Controlling these Xiao Bai people was much easier than controlling 1:1 Paper Cicada Immortals.
As Lu Yibei's thought moved, the fifty Paper Cicada Immortals lying on the ground immediately stood up, forming a square formation of five rows and ten columns.
"First squad, prepare!"
"Three, two, one, start the fight!"
With an order, ten Paper Cicada Immortals in the formation immediately moved, twisting their round, plump, yet exceptionally flexible bodies, gliding into the small warehouse with short airborne glides every three steps.
They were so cheerful, like a group of primary school students playing, roughhousing, and running wild on their way home from school.
As soon as they entered the small warehouse, the ten Paper Cicada Immortals headed straight for the abnormal time capsule, and began to unlock the password lock on the time capsule according to the password the Headless Senior had given, their movements slightly clumsy.
The password lock had /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ a total of four digits. Just as two digits were verified, the ten Paper Cicada Immortals were eroded by the pitch-black aura hidden in the blood mist and "poof!" they spontaneously combusted.
Lu Yibei had long anticipated this situation, otherwise she wouldn't have prepared fifty Paper Cicada Immortals to do this kind of thing.
In fact, she had initially planned to use a hundred of them.
Fifty was just the vanguard, but after cutting her finger five times, the pain was unbearable, so she reduced the number.
So, before the first ten spontaneously combusting Paper Cicada Immortals had completely burned out, the next ten followed closely, rushing into the small warehouse to replace them.
Forty, thirty, twenty...
When only ten Paper Cicada Immortals remained on standby, a soft click came from inside the small warehouse.
"Click—!"
That abnormal time capsule opened.
Inside the pit, the group of urban legend, including Lu Yibei, simultaneously held their breath. The area around the small warehouse instantly fell into a deathly silence.
After waiting quietly for about ten minutes, the Headless Senior rotated the upper half of her neck, looked at the expressionless Lu Yibei with a serious gaze, and asked softly, "It seems like it should be fine now, right? Shall we go out and take a look?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Wait a bit longer. If there's still no problem after an hour, then we'll go out," said Lu Yibei.
If time allowed, I'd even want to wait for the half-life of Uranium-235... Just as a trash talk thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind, a sudden change occurred.
Waves of dizzying whispers came from the small warehouse, as if hundreds or thousands of people were cursing in low voices, converging and buzzing.
A biting strong wind suddenly erupted, carrying black mist and spreading in all directions. Small, unknown Spells, like dregs blown by the wind, mixed within the black mist.
Wherever the strong wind passed, the verdant vegetation instantly turned dark purple and black as if poisoned. In the blink of an eye, it turned into pieces of charcoal.
As if burned by something.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Several explosions erupted, and large sections of the small warehouse walls also collapsed.
At the same time, the black mist and strong wind swept over, instantly hitting the defensive Spells. Cobweb-like cracks appeared inch by inch, and then a soft sound like shattering glass rang in her ears.
The first layer of defensive Spells shattered, then the second, the third...
Before all the defensive Spells were completely broken, Lu Yibei hastily added another one, barely managing to withstand the erosion.
However, although she withstood the erosion, when she came into close contact with the black mist, Lu Yibei felt her Spirit Mark become restless, and a burning sensation came from her back.
Little brother, it seems like it's trying to take the opportunity to rebel.
The Headless Senior's eyes widened. She looked at the crumbling small warehouse, then at Lu Yibei, her face filled with disbelief.
"You knew that time capsule had something wrong with it?"
"I knew a little, not much..." Lu Yibei said in a deep voice.
What did I know early on?
I just found that thing had a problem; I didn't guess it would be such a big problem!
What the hell did that scumbag put in the time capsule? How did he cause such a big commotion? Lu Yibei thought.
She had thought that Senior (female) became a territorial spirit simply because of the existence of the two time capsules and her own stubbornness, unable to let go.
But now it seems that things are probably not that simple!
As for what exactly happened... Lu Yibei glanced at the black mist that hadn't completely dispersed and frowned.
She could only wait for an hour or so, and when she could get out, she would go and study it.
----
On the other side.
Hua City East District, Sijia Express Hotel, Suite 3024.
"Beep—!"
Accompanied by the sound of the door card being successfully read, the suite door opened.
Li Xuan walked in quickly, turned on the light, and when he saw Hua Sang lying on the bed, he was dumbfounded, his mouth twitching violently.
On the pure white large bed, the girl with a face full of blood lay quietly. Below her left hand, bright red blood stained the sheets, looking at first glance like a wrist-slashing suicide scene.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Hua Sang lifted her eyelids, glanced at Li Xuan, and closed her eyes again.
Seeing that Hua Sang was still alive, Li Xuan suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed, "No, didn't you tell me you had a minor injury that needed treatment? You call this a minor injury?"
Can a minor injury bleed this much?
Li Xuan had thought that Hua Sang was just too lazy to treat herself, which was why she called him over. But when he arrived, he realized things weren't as simple as he thought.
"It was a minor injury at first." Facing Li Xuan's series of questions, Hua Sang finally answered weakly.
Li Xuan came to the bedside, and while taking out a healing talisman from his pocket, preparing to treat Hua Sang, he asked irritably, "Look at you, on one hand, three finger-long wounds, the deepest ones showing bone."
"How did a minor injury become like this?"
"..." Hua Sang opened her eyes, looked at Li Xuan in silence, and shook her head.
She didn't know why it became like this. Anyway, while she was sleeping, she got a face full of blood splashed by wounds that inexplicably appeared on her hand.
You might not believe it, but the hand, it split open by itself.
Li Xuan carefully avoided Hua Sang's blood, slapped a talisman on Hua Sang's wound, and complained, "Couldn't you have treated yourself first?"
"I treated it, twice," Hua Sang said indifferently.
But it was completely useless!
In less than thirty seconds, new wounds appeared again.
So, after Hua Sang tried to treat herself twice, she chose to give up, and then contacted Li Xuan, asking him to rush over with healing talismans.
"So you gave up on treatment? Do you know that 'give up' has 15 strokes, and 'persist' has 16 strokes? Persisting is only a little more than giving up, so why not persist?"
Hua Sang rolled her eyes at Li Xuan and said slowly, "Because'sudden death' has 17 strokes."
"Also, Senior Brother, run." Just as she finished her last sentence, she suddenly felt her Spirit Mark become restless, so she said it unhurriedly.
Li Xuan, "???"
Immediately after, as if realizing something, he suddenly lowered his head to look at his hands and saw patches of eczema appearing on his fair skin. He immediately widened his eyes and looked at Hua Sang, "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"Because you have to finish one sentence before you can say the next," Hua Sang said.
Li Xuan's mouth twitched. His vision went dark, his body tilted, and he fell to the ground with a "thud," his body convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
