Chapter 106): Attention at Jingyi Apartments
The moon was covered by thin clouds, and Huacheng was peaceful.
Save for the one apartment building that just shot out a wave of strong psychic energy across the city, creating ripples among the clouds and dyeing the moon a tinge of emerald green.
Whispers of fear cried out in the dark corners of the city, and countless eyes trained their eyes on Jingyi Apartments.
Huacheng University of Technology, female dorm.
Lin Yiqi hid in thest cubicle of the toilet at the end of the corridor, holding the screaming baby-urban legend in her arms. In desperation, she could only cut her fingers andfort them with her own blood.
Its disgusting purple mouth greedily suckled upon her fingers, and her slender fingers withered rapidly as they spread up to her arms.
Bursts of piercing pain stabbed at her fingers, but she didnt seem to care as she stared out the window.
Its her, she murmured. Wasnt she going to find the person who made the charms? Why did she
She was concerned for the girl, but she didnt dare to pry. An enemy that could make the girl this angry is not somebody she could deal with anyway.
Under the Huacheng Bridge.
Gu Qianqian wrapped herself in a nket, still picking out a dress for the school dance.
System? What about this dress?
The system nced at the dress that she had chosenlow-quality, 19.9 yuan, cheaply made at a sweatshop.
Maybe stop being stingy and spend some money on a good dress, the system suggested.
I know, I know, she sighed. But Cinderes dress is beautiful because of magic! I cant buy a good dress because Im poor, so Ill just buy a cheap dress and have you enchant it!
The system hid itsints within its hearts when it suddenly felt a wave of psychic energy washing over the city, and it couldnt help but sneer.
It seems that the trajectory of Gu Qianqians fate wont be altered after all.
Although it was a little earlier than expected, the system predicts that the Disaster and Jumang must have met by now.
Which means she should be hunted down by now!
System? System? Gu Qianqians voice repeated.
Apologies. What were you saying?
Seriously? I asked you how this dress was. If its okay, Ill order it.
This is a dress for dolls.
I know! And I am a doll!
Not in that forget it. As long as youre happy!
The system could, in fact, try to enchant the dress, even though it maye several sizes smaller.
Peony Street, the old house of the Lu family.
A girl in a white dress and long ck hair sat by the window sill of the attic with a long sword resting by her knees. She drank the goat milk wine that she brought with her before she left while staring at the now-emerald sky that loomed over the University.
Not bad. It can barely be given to Lu Yibei as a runic gift, but its a pity that its too woody.
She thought of the Euphrates trees at the entrance of her cave that almost cast a shadow on her childhood and curled her lips, I hate wood.
Forget it. We shall wait and see.
Meanwhile, in the Night Division, in the office marked Two.
The room behind the door is decorated like an ancient hermits hut, with bamboo mats recing the floor. Disy racks filled the walls around the room, filled with all kinds of exquisite ceramic handicrafts.
In the centre of the room, a suave-looking man in a waterproof apron sits before a potters wheel, carefully carving his work.
A hasty knock on the door.
He frowned, turning off the wheel and going over to the door after wiping his hands clean.
As soon as the door opened, he was greeted by a member of the Special Operations Team who was out of breath as he identally dropped all the documents in his arms.
Ah! Operator No. 2, Im sorry, I thought you
Li Xuan nced at the documents on the floor and smiled, saying, Its okay; Ill deal with it. Whats the hurry?
Emergency. A Level S psychic energy fluctuation was detected near the University. The duration was 2.31 seconds, and the erosion of the night was 12.6. The lowest value is Level B, while the peak value is Level S, and
Okay, I get it. Ill send someone right away with me. Ill be at the scene first, and you go inform the others and tell them to gather urgently.
Roger that!
The lone member ran into the darkness of the corridor, while Li Xuan walked towards the atrium.
His pace was slow as if he were taking a leisurely walk.
Natural disaster at the university, he mumbled. Lu Yibei lives there. Does this have to do with him? I should check up on him.
Talking to himself, he felt strange eyes watching him in the darkness. He quickened his pace as his figure shed a few times and disappeared.
Just like Jiangli hates Gu Xilius truancy, Li Xuan doesnt like being watched by Tang Tang.
