Chapter 163: The Old Wang Next Door
Yibei was about to introduce himself but found that her name was strangely familiar.
Wikstroemia? Isnt that traditional Chinese medicine? How could that be her name? Shes a liar! A fraud!
Back then, he thought he had found true love with a married woman named Starry Vige, whom he met on the Inte. Of course, he was scammed out of his money, and he was almost beaten to death by his father.
Hello? Are you still there? she asked. I live on this street, by the way.
Alright, Miss Wik, I am 18 years old and a virgin! You can call me Varia, and Ill stay right here!
If she isnt going to tell me her real name, then I wont either!
<i>Varia?</i> The girl thought, and her mouth was agape for a few seconds. She thought that the other party might have thought she was using a false name, so he replied using a false name as well.
But it didnt matter to her; she made friends with people, not with names!
Varia! What a name! she eximed. You seem under the weather. Do you feel unlucky recently?
He shuddered as soon as he heard these words, as it sounded like a fortune teller who scams people of their money.
A fake name and a scammershe must be a novice in the business.
Meanwhile, Wikstroemia noticed the extremely weak fluctuations of psychic energy escaping from his body, as if he were haunted by urban legends.
Now that he was closer, she could sense something strange.
Or are you encountering something strange?
While speaking, her gaze swept over Lu Yibeis coat, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes became as clear as water in an instant, and under hermand, she conjured a pair of invisible hands and touched his coat.
She didnt expect his coat to be an urban legend. She thought that he was being haunted by one and not wearing it as his clothes.
However, in the next moment, his coat flung off himself and flew into the corner of the room.
Seeing this, his face warped as he bounced to get his coat as it trembled behind him, What the! What are you?
He immediately brought his guard up as he stared at Wikstroemia; her gaze was clear like the reflection of a sword, and he felt oppressed by her aura flooding the room.
I think youre misunderstanding something, Wikstroemia stuttered, restoring the softness to her eyes. I have no intention of attacking your little friend, but
Wait a minute, let me
She fumbled as she conjured what seemed to be a pamphlet: My uncle said if I ever encountered such a situation, if they threatened to hit me, I should reply, Do it, coward!
? Does her uncle want her dead?
Seeing his shocked expression, Wikstroemia tilted her head and asked, Is there something wrong?
No, but I think you should be careful of your uncle.
Thats so funny because I think so too! she smiled. Judging by your reaction, I should tear out what he told me from this booklet.
Back to the topic, your coat Will it be okay? She continued, worried.
Ah, uh, itll be fine! These days, everybody has their own urban legendlike pets! Youre living under a rock if you dont have one.
Of course, she didnt believe such an outrageous lie; in the past few days, she explored the entirety of Huacheng, and the number of urban legends she encountered was quite small.
She didnt want to embarrass him, though. She still needed to look for the person named Lu Yibei but avoid the Night Division at all costs.
She came into contact with a girl named Du Sixian; she felt kindness in her body, but upon learning that she was from the Night Division, she did not ask her for help.
This boy in front of her seemed differentthis little crook who raises little apparitions cannot join the Night Division. He is probably just a lonely psychic who lives to live.
As for his ability to nurture urban legends, they seem weak and superficial, unlikely to develop into anything terrifying.
Plus, after she reached Huacheng, she didnt meet anyone who had psychic powers aside from the Night Division. She couldnt let this boy go.
By the way, ah, where did he go?
She realised that the boy had long disappeared, climbed down the tower, and ran out of Peony Street in a hurry.
Varia!
She yelled down the tower, and Yibei yelled back, I, uh, left my gas running at home! Lets never meet again! Goodbye!
Damn it, why did I meet such a nasty thing in the tower? Its almost nighttime!
He hurried down the tower, afraid that the Night Division might catch him transforming. Even if they dont, that woman up there can definitely tell that something is wrong with him, so she must be strong.
Fortunately, she had no intention of chasing after him. ording to her uncle, when meeting psychic users, it is necessary to be careful with them.
Therefore, when she stroked his coat, she left behind a trail of her breath so that shed always be able to find this mystical Varia wherever he went.
If she could track him down, observe him from time to time, and jump to his rescue whenever hes in danger, itll be difficult for him to reject her.
Plus, judging from his demeanour, he must have encountered something recently, so he would need help soon.
And if he were to sort things out on his own, then
She started flipping through books like [Ten Common Ways to Hide a Murder as an ident]. She had already read books like these countless times.
However, after leaving the desert, she found that there were many facies in the pamphlets her uncle gave her.
However, she found an interesting paragraph written on the pamphlet, and she felt that it wasnt all that difficult to replicate.
He felt a chill around him, the same as how the phantom of Zhu Linglong stalked him, which made him quicken his pace.
After getting the remodelled toy gun from the Car Master, he didnt stay too long. He hurriedly put down the cash he had prepared earlier and rushed to a remote corner of the city without stopping.
He found a construction site that was suspended due to an urban legend incident, and it was also the ce where he would loiter after he transformed.
The chilly aura gradually dissipated. He found an empty clearing, stripped himself, and waited for the sun to set.
When she left, she was wearing her magical girl suit.
Hey! Who told you to turn into this? Turn back into the coat, now!
The clothes couldnt help but feel wronged, and in a sh of light, they returned back into the coat.
However, the thigh-high socks and leather shoes were still on her, but she found them strangelyfortable, considering that she would run around barefoot all the time.
Could you change the socks? Im notfortable with long ones.
Her coat wriggled slightly, and she reced the socks with normal socks that had ace trim.
Ah, no, could you change it to
She soon realised that her coat had exhausted all of its energy, and its power started to waver. It transformed the white socks into knee-high ck socks but neglected to get rid of theircy material.
It became ck-thigh-highs made of seductivece.
Ah whatever. Ill wait for the coat to recover.
It was fully dark when she reached Gate No. 4 of the University; dark clouds obscured the moon, leaving the sky pitch ck.
The weeds moved with the wind, giving the illusion of figures that prowled in the dark.
It was quiet, save for the sound of bushes being rustled.
A storm was about toe, and she grew impatient waiting for the headless girl to appear. Plus, that lingering feeling of unease has yet to leave.
Putting down her bag, she took the gun out.
The gun could load ten charms at a time, so she loaded ten.
After installing her charm bullets, she took out her kitchen knife and hid it in her sleeve, and she kept the statue close to her.
After waiting for some time, the sense of uneasiness grew stronger. Just as Lu Yibei was thinking about whether something happened to the headless girl, a thick fog appeared right ahead.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing wind blew, and a bloodied torso came into view, rushing towards her.
Her heart dropped, and she raised her gun, ready to shoot. However, seeing that the torso was headless, recognition shed in her head.
Realising it was the headless girl, a faint voice whispered into her ear.
Quick run
