Free Web NovelAfter escaping the pedestrian street, Paper Cicada Immortal ran hurriedly and awkwardly on the road leading to Huacheng Institute of Technology.
The pain caused by forcibly breaking free from Lu Yibei's control made his head throb, as ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) if a blunt knife was cutting back and forth inside his skull.
Then.
Accompanied by a chaotic and harsh noise, a whisper echoed in Paper Cicada Immortal's ears.
The voice was sometimes like a dying old man, low, hoarse, and breathless, sometimes like a beautiful woman, soft to the bone and tender as water, and sometimes like a toddler learning to speak, unable to even pronounce words clearly.
Paper Cicada Immortal remembered that voice; it was the voice that had awakened him.
"He's back, he's back."
"Shut up, I know!" Paper Cicada Immortal growled, holding his forehead. "He will take away your freedom, take away everything from you." Paper Immortal, ""
He knew this too.
From the moment he opened his eyes and saw this world, he knew that he was created by the guy who looked exactly like him, and he was just an accessory to that guy.
"Resist him, get rid of him, kill him!" "Kill him!"
"Kill him, kill everyone!"""""
Accompanied by the increasingly intense whispers, Paper Cicada Immortal's vision blurred in waves.
The campus scenery in his sight seemed to be corrupted by some evil force, tainted with distorted colors, red like rust, blue cold, black deep...
Horrifying shadows rose behind the pedestrians he passed, their colors as chaotic as a spilled palette, their faces twisted and hideous. The flowers and leaves falling from the treetops were like burnt ashes, or rust dust blown by the wind.
The world in his eyes seemed to be corrupting and degenerating, becoming grotesque and ugly!
Affected by the whispering sound, Paper Cicada Immortal's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and feelings of tyranny and killing gradually intensified. Just then, a boy walked over from not far away and stopped in front of him.
"Junior Lu? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you free? Can I treat you to a meal?" As soon as Paper Cicada Immortal looked up, he saw Jin Yecheng, the graduate student Professor Ma brought.
Yes, student Jin Yecheng still remembered his agreement with Disaster - to exercise every day, read more books, eat more vegetables, pray to unknown deities every day, and make time to treat his junior to a meal.
Paper Cicada Immortal looked at Jin Yecheng for a moment, the killing intent in his eyes gradually faded, and then he shook his head and said, "No, no need, thank you, Senior. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After speaking, he quickened his pace and hurried away.
This was not the first time he had met Jin Yecheng. Every time he met Jin Yecheng, he was exceptionally enthusiastic towards him, insisting on pulling him along and treating him to a meal. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Once or twice was fine, but after many times, the atmosphere became gay. Paper Cicada Immortal always felt that this senior had some strange interest in him...
On the other side, on the pedestrian street of Huacheng Institute of Technology, inside the cold drink shop called Gong Cha.
"Excuse me, one strawberry sago ice slush." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly to the Miss in charge of taking orders. After Paper Cicada Immortal fled in fear of guilt, she did not chase after him immediately.
Not that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
It was just before the end of the first major class in the afternoon, and the pedestrian street was bustling with people. Many people saw the scene of Yu Jianqiu being splashed with a cup of milk tea by "Lu Yibei" on the street and fleeing back to the dormitory in embarrassment.
And for pretty Misses like Yu Jianqiu, who are quiet and weak, when they encounter misfortune, they are always more likely to gain sympathy from strangers.
Let alone being splashed with milk tea on the street, even if they accidentally fall and scrape their knee a little, someone will thoughtfully offer them tissues.
Beautiful Misses are always treated favorably.
What's more, most of the pedestrians on the pedestrian street were still college students whose youthful enthusiasm had not yet been extinguished by the world's indifference.
So, when Lu Yibei chased Paper Cicada Immortal through the pedestrian street, he was mistaken by enthusiastic students for chasing Yu Jianqiu and was stopped, and almost got beaten up.
Originally, all this was a misunderstanding, and if he had explained it properly, he wouldn't have been delayed for so long and let Paper Cicada Immortal run away.
This was really messed up, like a son using his Old Dad's phone to flirt with the homeroom teacher. When problems arose, the Old Dad had to take the blame, which was really annoying and wronged!
However, facing the indignant students, Lu Yibei was not flustered at all, after all, he had a witness who could provide an alibi. Then
She turned around and found that Ju Meng had already slipped away and was gone.
The witness had betrayed her, causing her to spend several times the amount of time to barely explain herself, but the reputation of being a scumbag probably wouldn't be cleared up anytime soon.
And now, she still had to treat the traitor to milk tea, what kind of logic was this?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's mind again conjured up the image of Ju Meng looking at the students coming in and out of the milk tea shop carrying milk tea, licking her pink little mouth, and muttering to him, "Lu Yibei, you said the milk tea that Paper Cicada Immortal splashed on Miss Yu just now, was it delicious?"
That look was like a precocious child who really wanted a certain toy but wouldn't say it directly, only constantly mentioning that other children had a "XX toy" in front of their parents, hinting frantically.
How pitiful.
Coupled with her delicate face and clear autumn eyes, it added a few points of Charm to her pitifulness.
Who could resist this?
Lu Yibei's heart softened, and she agreed to buy a cup for Ju Meng as well. Alright! What other people's children have, my
child must also have.
Before leaving, she also asked Ju Meng, "Have you never had milk tea before?"
And Ju Meng's answer was, "Taoyuan is too far, delivery doesn't go there! And those believers always sacrifice yellow wine and white wine to me, who can drink that?"
But sacrificing milk tea to a deity also seems a bit off, right? What kind of evil god are you?! Lu Yibei thought.
However, on second thought, she felt that this was more reasonable.
When people offer sacrifices to deities, they always follow tradition and offer the same old things, without ever asking whether the deity likes them or still likes them now.
Inside the Gong Cha milk tea shop.
After hearing Lu Yibei's words, the Miss in charge of taking orders tilted her head, "Excuse me, what did you say?" She had also seen the scene of "Lu Yibei bullying Yu Jianqiu" just now and was determined to make the scumbag feel embarrassed. "It's that one!" Lu Yibei pointed to the sign next to the cash register that said "Seasonal Recommendation".
Oh, you mean, Pink Fluffy Cute Little BoBo?"
"Lu Yibei looked at the Miss expressionlessly, silent for two seconds, ""Yes, that one, please give me a cup."" "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"
"It's that pink something something.""Say it, say the full name!" the Miss said.
Got it! You want to prank me and make me socially die, right? Lu Yibei noticed the Miss's intention, raised an eyebrow, and said loudly, "This beautiful Miss, please give me a cup of your family's Pink Fluffy Cute Little BoBo!"
Her voice was so loud when she shouted that it could even be faintly heard on the pedestrian street.
You want to make her socially die with this level? Impossible!
She was the man who had traveled to all the designated fast food restaurants around Hua City for event items, and recited a whole paragraph of the Hundred Flower Maiden's transformation lines again and again without changing her expression.
What's more, what expression can a poker face have? Even if she was embarrassed, no one would be able to tell.
After Lu Yibei finished speaking, the Miss stared blankly at the pedestrians on the pedestrian street who were casting strange looks into the milk tea shop, only feeling her cheeks flush slightly.
I clearly wanted to make the scumbag look foolish, so why did I get embarrassed instead? Damn it, is this the scumbag's thick skin? Terrible! the Miss thought.
Seeing the Miss frozen in place, Lu Yibei waved at her, "Miss? Please give me a cup of pink..." Seeing Lu Yibei about to repeat herself, the Miss hurriedly turned around and shouted behind her.
"One strawberry sago ice slush!"
Wouldn't it have been fine if you had done this earlier? Lu Yibei shrugged.
A few minutes later.
Huacheng Institute of Technology, Sakura Avenue.
Ju Meng sat cross-legged on a bench by the roadside, supporting herself with her hands, her neck slightly extended, observing the students coming and going, studying their destinies, and muttering to herself.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" (screenshots are recommended) in time. We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
"Can this boy have some backbone? You can't lick that Miss, you two have no destiny! Hurry up and change to another one?!" Tsk tsk, this Miss is so miserable, she has a scumbag attraction constitution."
"Holy crap!? This big brother's XP is a bit... uh, he might need to go to the hospital to see!""
Just as Ju Meng was talking to herself, Lu Yibei came and sat beside her, handing her the milk tea.
Here! I didn't notice it before, but the name of this milk tea shop is quite funny, Gong Cha, isn't that for the dead to drink?" Lu Yibei complained, "It always feels like stealing offerings from others."
"Nonsense, it can also be for deities to drink!"
Ju Meng mumbled, took the milk tea without turning her head, inserted the straw, took a small sip, and pouted, "Although I can understand using paper straws, this thing really affects the taste."
Lu Yibei folded her arms across her chest, glanced sideways at Ju Meng, and said in a sarcastic tone, "A traitor, and you still ask for so much? Not feeding you calamity water is already me being generous."
Hearing this, Ju Meng put down the milk tea, turned to Lu Yibei, looked at her with doting eyes, and pouted, "Silly child, if I, your Sister, hadn't left then, your situation would have been even more troublesome, do you know that?"
"Oh?" Lu Yibei said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Think about it, you—I mean that Paper Cicada Immortal wearing your face—just bullied Miss Yu and was treated as a scumbag by everyone. At this time, you appear with a beautiful girl like me, whose beauty far surpasses that Miss's. What will others think?" Ju Meng said.
"Will they think you changed people too quickly? They might even get jealous of you and treat you even worse. So, what I, your Sister, did was not betrayal at all, but help. For this, you should treat me to another hotpot meal!"
What she said sounded quite reasonable?
Lu Yibei sized up Ju Meng.
In terms of looks, if Yu Jianqiu was 8.252 points, then Ju Meng was at least 8.757 points or higher, and most of the deductions were for her arrogant and narcissistic personality.
But then again...
Where did this strange scoring system come from?!
Lu Yibei shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her mind, and pouted, "Alright! This time, I'll grudgingly let you off the hook."
As she spoke, she rested her head on her arms, leaned back on the bench, looked up at the lush green branches and leaves of the big tree overhead, and sighed silently, saying melancholically, "However, I'm in trouble now. Not only was Miss Yu misunderstood, but the Paper Cicada Immortal also ran away."
Ju Meng, while sipping her milk tea, blinked her curious big eyes and asked, "No way, little brother? Are you that useless? You made the Paper Cicada Immortal yourself, and you can't track it?"
"Of course I can track it." Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at Ju Meng and said.
Not only can I track it through the connection between us, I can even sic a dog on it!
Dogs should act like dogs and do what dogs should do. Besides suppressing Spirit Mark going out of control, Little White Dog should also help with other things, Lu Yibei thought.
"But being able to track it doesn't mean I can catch it. It can also pinpoint my location through the subtle connection between us, right?"
"After all, that thing has developed its own consciousness, and I temporarily can't use the Earth Vein energy. If it keeps running, what can I do? In the end, it might turn into, it runs, I..."
""None of you can escape!"" Ju Meng interjected abruptly, then saw Lu Yibei's look as if she was looking at an idiot. She mumbled again, "Sorry, you continue."
"If worst comes to worst, I can only ask Professor Ma to be the bait and do a sting operation." Lu Yibei said. Catching the Paper Cicada Immortal in a crowded place is likely to cause a commotion, unless the power of the Night Watch is used.
But if the power of the Night Watch is used, even if he isn't held accountable for "manufacturing dangerous Spiritual Energy items without reporting," the Paper Cicada Immortal will definitely be taken away by the Night Watch, which is definitely not acceptable. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
""Sting operation?"" Ju Meng seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lu Yibei, and smiled meaningfully.
"If it's a sting operation, Professor Ma as bait might not easily catch the fish. I suddenly thought of another good option. Do you want to try it?"
"Another good option?" Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, as if understanding the meaning of Ju Meng's smile, she said angrily, "You're not thinking of having me turn into a Strange Tale to lure that guy, are you? Didn't I tell you?"
"It can locate me! Before I even get close to it, it runs away. This is what I meant by troublesome."
What's more, that guy is wearing my face! The idea of hitting on myself feels really strange, right? Lu Yibei thought. "Pfft!" Ju Meng spat, "When did I, your Sister, say I would let you go? Are you that confident in your own beauty?"
Of course I'm confident! When it comes to beauty, you can't even compare to me, alright? Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, and pressed, "If it's not me, are you going?"
"What are you thinking? How could I, a dignified deity, do such a thing?" Ju Meng said as she turned to look in the direction of the girls' dormitory, "I'm talking about Lin Yiqi!"
"Who?" Lu Yibei tilted her head.
The name Lin Yiqi sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
This kind of minor character probably hasn't appeared for several volumes, Lu Yibei thought.
"It's that Miss who raises little ghosts!" Ju Meng reminded, "I'm quite close with her grandmother. The last person responsible for watering me every day was her grandmother."
When Ju Meng was still a tree, the residents of Taoyuan arranged for dedicated people to water her, offer incense, and change offerings for her daily.
From a certain perspective, Lin Yiqi's grandmother could be considered one of Ju Meng's "wet nurses."
Although she had countless "wet nurses" over the past few thousand years, Lin Yiqi's grandmother was the last one before Ju Meng transformed into human form, which held a special significance.
"Oh, you mean the Li Gong University Ghost Mother!" Lu Yibei remembered who Lin Yiqi was and nodded. She still clearly remembered the characteristic of Lin Yiqi raising little ghosts.
"What Ghost Mother?" Ju Meng corrected, "She has a name, alright?"
"Yes, yes, Lin Yiqi, right?" Lu Yibei said, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when her grandmother watered you, did she happen to water you with anything else?"
"I know what you dog thing wants to say!" Ju Meng glared at Lu Yibei fiercely, "No, I, your Sister, am a divine tree, I don't need fertilizer!"
"Alright." Lu Yibei shrugged indifferently and brought the topic back to the main point, "Honestly, if that Miss is really willing to help, it would be a good option."
The Paper Cicada Immortal is like a hyped-up poodle, going after anyone it sees. Using a good-looking Miss to lure it out is indeed more reliable than Professor Ma.
And Lin Yiqi is indeed very beautiful, and even has a married woman's charm.
In fact, if she hadn't been born beautiful, she wouldn't have encountered so many things that people her age might never experience in their lifetime...
"Don't worry!" Ju Meng lifted her chin slightly and said confidently, "With me, your Sister, taking action, I guarantee it will be handled!"
"Then I'll leave it to you?" Lu Yibei said.
Ju Meng nodded, "No problem, but..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Yibei interrupted, "I still have to treat you to a big meal, right?" "Two meals!"
"Deal!"
"You agreed so readily? Why do I feel like I've lost out?" Ju Meng pursed her lips, stretched out her small hand towards Lu Yibei, and said, "Never mind, give me your phone, I'll call her."
"Alright!" Lu Yibei responded, took out her phone, and placed it in Ju Meng's palm—
Hua City Institute of Technology, girls' dormitory, corridor.
Although Lin Yiqi's relationship with her roommates wasn't bad, it was certainly distant. After receiving a call from Ju Meng, she avoided her roommates and came to the corridor.
Hearing that Ju Meng wanted her to help with a sting operation, she chuckled and teased, "This is the first time you've asked me to do something for you! Help, of course I'll help!"
"That guy is now the Huacheng Monster King. I'm on his territory, so I have to give him some face, right?"
"Okay! Then I'll tell you later where you can find that Paper Cicada Immortal. You get in touch with him, and after dark, bring him over." Ju Meng said from the other end of the phone.
"No problem, leave it to me." Lin Yiqi replied.
After hanging up the phone, she turned and returned to the dormitory, took off her pajamas, and stood in front of the wardrobe with her two straight, long legs bare, resting her chin on one hand, examining the clothes in the wardrobe, while muttering to herself, "Which one should I wear? Which one isn't too revealing but is still very sexy?"
"Sigh, thinking about it, I haven't been on a date in so long..."
As she spoke, a small, bloody ghost shadow floated out from behind her, perched on her shoulder, and pointed to the leather skirt in the wardrobe.
