Free Web NovelAfter a long time, she finally came back to her senses.
Even though Lu Yibei was gradually getting used to it, suddenly falling into a strange illusion was still hard to bear, with its empathetic despair and pain.
"Damn it..."
She cursed under her breath, calming the chaotic emotions in her heart, then lowered her head to check her body, furrowed her brow slightly, and fell into thought.
Swallowing nearly half of the urban legend' core essence at once, apart from personally experiencing Yun Meng's despair before death, her body didn't seem to be significantly affected?
Lu Yibei thought, turning to look at the group of urban legend waiting silently beside her for her to wake up.
Their eyes were inexplicably strange.
That feeling of expectation mixed with anxiety, and a tiny bit of curiosity mixed in the anxiety, was exactly like an old father waiting for his child to be born outside the delivery room.
Lu Yibei tilted her head, "Why are you looking at me like that? Was there anything unusual about me just now?"
"No, nothing!" The group of urban legend said in unison.
Don't ask, if you ask, the answer is no! freewebnσvel.cøm
Lu Yibei frowned and pressed, "Really nothing?"
"Heh, since you want to know so much... Wuwuwu!"
Eyeball sneered and was about to say something, but before he could finish, his companions jumped up and piled on top of him like a human pyramid.
"Eyeball, you mustn't! You absolutely mustn't!" Maotuan (Hairball) said in a panic.
"Brother Eyeball, we urban legend should be careful with our words. Please be mindful of what you say and do, and leave us a way to live," False Tooth said earnestly.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Lu Yibei frowned and asked.
"No, absolutely nothing!" This time, the group of urban legend were surprisingly consistent in their answers.
Don't ask, if you ask, the answer is no!
Should they tell her that they just saw her talking about embarrassing things with her boyfriend, like having a slumber party chat with her bestie after having too much to drink?
Or should they tell her that she suddenly seemed to awaken her magical girl soul and talked endlessly about her skincare and beauty tips?
If they said it, there was no guarantee she wouldn't kill them to silence them!
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of the group of urban legend, Lu Yibei shrugged indifferently and turned her attention to the remaining three urban legend' core essences in the suitcase.
Swallowing Yun Meng's urban legend' core essence had relieved most of her hunger at once, but she still felt somewhat empty in her stomach, with a faint sourness.
How about... trying to swallow half of another one to see? Lu Yibei thought, the last time she swallowed about half a dose, the side effects seemed to be within an acceptable range.
The desire for her whole body to be filled with power and to acquire knowledge tempted Lu Yibei to continue swallowing.
She even had a feeling that if the urban legend Yun Meng had turned into had any special abilities, she could learn them by swallowing its core essence.
That feeling, rather than simple swallowing and digestion, was more accurately described as plunder.
This desire for something for nothing made her somewhat intoxicated and addicted.
What's more, there was something else she was concerned about.
From Yun Meng and Pharaoh's last chat records, Pharaoh was initially reluctant to go to Shihekou Middle School for the dare game.
But what exactly made him change his mind in just over ten minutes and give a completely opposite answer?
Lu Yibei really wanted to know the answer.
Then she would just swallow half of another one!
Thinking this, she once again took out a urban legend' core essence from the suitcase and walked towards the kitchen.
She placed the urban legend' core essence on the cutting board, got a kitchen knife, raised her hand, and brought it down, cutting it in two.
How did that famous saying go?
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
For example, cut it in half, randomly pick one half, and eat [N O V E L I G H T] it directly!
This time, Lu Yibei didn't add any other extra ingredients. After cutting the urban legend' core essence into two pieces, she directly grabbed one of them and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmm~!" Feeling the Spiritual Energy continuously filling her body, Lu Yibei couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan.
Gradually, her thoughts began to drift, as if flying away with the wind.
Thus, she once again fell into a dream.
This time, she played the role of 【Liang Yue】.
...
Liang Yue's growth experiences flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
As her consciousness gradually stabilized and light reappeared before her eyes, Lu Yibei slowly opened her eyes and saw the scene before her.
This was a bright classroom, and it seemed to be during a break. Students were gathered together, whispering, while Liang Yue seemed to be isolated by everyone, sitting alone in the corner.
"Do you know about the girls who jumped from the 401 dormitory a few days ago?"
"Yes, yes! I heard it was Zhao... uh, that person who did it. He snuck into their dormitory late at night and did some perverted things, forcing four girls to jump from the dormitory rooftop under the cover of night."
Liang Yue was slightly startled, then immediately buried her head on her desk, secretly looking through the gap in her arms, concentrating and continuing to listen to her classmates' conversation.
She didn't want to be noticed, but she desperately wanted to know what they were talking about.
She knew what happened in dormitory 401 that night; she was in the next room.
"What four, there were clearly three! One wasn't found at first, but she has been found now."
"Found? Where?"
"In the water tank on the dormitory rooftop. Some people speculate that she narrowly escaped from that person's clutches, fled to the rooftop, hid in the water tank, but unfortunately drowned."
Hearing this, Liang Yue's body trembled slightly.
Liang Yue clearly knew who that girl was; that girl had lived next door to her dormitory. freewebnovel.cσ๓
At this moment, Liang Yue could no longer hear any of her classmates' discussions. Her mind was buzzing, and the scene from that night, along with the knocking sound that came like a nightmare every night, kept flooding her mind.
...
The girls' dormitories at Shihekou Middle School were divided into two types based on the number of residents per room: double rooms and four-person rooms. Odd-numbered room numbers were four-person rooms, and even-numbered room numbers were double rooms.
Liang Yue lived in dormitory 402.
Alone.
As a private aristocratic school, Shihekou Middle School's students didn't all come from wealthy families. There were also specially recruited students like Liang Yue, who came from ordinary families but had excellent grades.
These specially recruited students, as an important guarantee for the school's enrollment rate, were given very generous treatment by the school.
As long as they maintained excellent grades, the school not only waived their tuition and accommodation fees, allowing them to live in relatively better double rooms, but also provided them with a considerable scholarship.
This was a transaction: the school gave them benefits, and they earned reputation for the school.
Liang Yue entered Shihekou Middle School under such tempting conditions, and she originally thought this was something to be proud of.
But...
Perhaps because of her somewhat introverted and proud personality, after entering the school, Liang Yue's situation was not much better than Zhao Ke's. Apart from not being physically attacked, she was completely isolated.
In the end, even her roommate moved out.
In the loneliness that almost drove people crazy, she could only study alone, silently, like a machine.
