CH 6

【In the dead of the night, the sky was covered by thick dark clouds

Haah! Hah! Hah!

On the rooftop of the school building, Li Huan gasped loudly, her face filled with fear.

“No! Don’t come over! It’s not my fault! It’s all because you asked for it, you little bitch!”

Thump thump thump thump.

There was something walking up the stairs, and it was emitting some strange noise. The noises sound like someone is purposely trying to squeeze them out of a throat.

Li Huan’s eye’s widened till the point that her blood vessels could be seen.

She watched helplessly as the thing approached her. Her body was frozen from fear, and her cry for help was trapped in her throat.

No! No! No! Let me go! Ahhhhhh!

Then the young girl fell from the eight-story tall building. In an instant, her body became badly mutilated, her blood and flesh staining the ground.

This was the first night after Feng Xing’s death.】

————— excerpt from 《Her Strangeness 1》

***********

Seeing her handsome senior, Feng Xing’s eyes flashed with love and pain. She waved her hand signaling that she is alright.

No, she must never allow Senior to see her current ugly appearance.

Feng Xing silently walked beside her beloved Senior. She wanted to run away, but couldn’t bear to leave. She wanted to call out Senior’s name with her new hard-earned voice, but she was afraid of being questioned by Senior.

She harshly clamped her lips shut, her heart filled with resentment and hate. Why wouldn’t God let her go?

Obviously…obviously, her and Senior were about to set off into the best future ever. All the obstacles were going to be removed by her, so why did this happen? Damn that Wu Yun Yi! I swear I will crush your soul into powder! And make sure you’ll never be able to be reincarnated!

When they reached the first-year building, Zhou Yu wanted to walk Feng Xing all the way to her class, but was rejected.

Feng Xing wrote on her notebook: Senior, it’s almost time for class. You’ll be late if you delay it any longer, and I’ll feel guilty. I can go to class myself.

Zhou Yu saw that Feng Xing was very stubborn on this, so he gave up.

Watching Senior leave, Feng Xing felt her heart bleed. She wanted to be with Senior forever, but the change that happened to her body was nauseating.

She couldn’t stand the look of disgust Senior might show when he discovers the truth.

Therefore, the longer time she spent with Senior, the more she felt her fear and dread build up.

Certainly there’s a way to solve this! There must be! As Feng Xing thought about her turmoil, she bite her fingers nervously.

In just one night, her hands had already started growing longer and longer. Even though her skin was still as white and smooth as jade, it was impossible to hide that masculine bone structure.

Her body became taller too, and on her slender limbs grew a thin layer of muscles. Her whole person appeared to be more well proportioned and pleasing to look at. Her face, which was originally just pale, also gradually started to reveal a somewhat of a bewitching allure, which compared to her past look, made her look even more handsome.

But this wasn’t what she wanted!

She…. how did she become like this???!

Feng Xing sank into a state of self-loathing, and tightened the windbreaker she was wearing around her body.

She deeply detested her current body.

Li Huan glared at Feng Xing with unrestrained hatred, just wishing that she could burn her to death.

Feng Xing, who was so disgusted with herself, didn’t pay any attention to the rubbish, who she had deemed will die soon.

***********

“Hey! Have you heard about it? The Number 53 bus accident! It was in today’s newspaper!”

“Oh! Heard of it! Heard of it! That old man is also a pretty famous Chinese medicine doctor. My aunt has been to his place for a check up before.”

“Yi— then does that mean… it was true?”

“How could it be fake? It’s on the news!”

(Orange: *sighs*)

When Zhou Yu stepped into the classroom, the first thing he heard was his classmates talking about something in groups. It was very lively.

Zhou Yu placed his bag on the table and tidied it up while he listened to the gossip.

After listening carefully for a moment, he found out that they were talking about the bus from two days ago.

Just as Zhou Yu expected, something had happened to that bus. It had mysteriously disappeared two days ago, and yesterday a hoard of reporters went and interviewed the old man and the young couple. As for why Zhou Yu, himself wasn’t interviewed, was probably due to his identity, so it was suppressed by someone.

According to the news, the bus was found today at dawn in a ravine 100 kilometers away from the city. Just like in his previous life, the driver and conductor were both dead, their bodies rotted to an extraordinary degree.

Such a strange event had caused a stir in the city. All the newspapers in the cities, no matter how small or big, had used this event as their headliner.

Zhou Yu pursed his lower lips and continued to tidy up his bag. After he finished tidying up, he took out a vocabulary book and started to memorize the words.

But only he knew that his fingers were trembling slightly.

It turned out that he was really that afraid of death. Just thinking about the consequences of that die if he hadn’t escaped caused him to be trembling all over.

It was post-traumatic stress.

In his past life, he has never encountered any supernatural incidents, but in this life he’s encountered it twice already. This allowed Zhou Yu to realize that this world was different, at least for him. This world was dangerous.

If next time, he wasn’t so alert, would he also become so ghost’s dessert, and die an unknown death?

Zhou Yu clenched the vocabulary book in his hand and a glimmer of light shined in this eyes. Although…. since ghosts and monsters are real, does that also mean the gods exists? He could go to some temples and check it out. There must be some that have some abilities.

Zhou Yu made up his mind. This weekend, he’ll go search at the nearby temples.

After thinking, Zhou Yu felt his head getting heavy and his consciousness was also getting a little dizzy. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

I’m starting to get sleepy again. Why is that?

It seems like his sleepiness has gotten much worse from the day he had bumped into those ghosts on the bus. Before, it wasn’t much of a concern, but today Zhou Yu, who was very on guard and suspicious, felt that something was wrong.

It can’t be that something dirty has clung onto him right?

His eyelids started drooping, Zhou Yu thought about the events that had happened during the past few days, and involuntarily fell asleep.

When class started, the teacher frowned at the sleeping Zhou Yu, but did not say anything and still began teaching.

The teacher did not notice that there seemed to be a string tightly wrapped around the neck of Zhou Yu’s shadow.

Legend has it that ghost will leave its mark on its prey, and wait for the right time to take their lives.

(Orange: Σ(゜ロ゜;) Feng Xing! Quick come save your man!)

*********

On a busy street, people came and went, but did not notice a group of people in strange clothing standing and laying on the right side of the street. They were discussing something, talking and laughing with each other.

“Captain! Who is going to do the introduction for the newcomers this time?” A tall, long-haired man with tattoos all over his body asked the cold-looking man.

Zheng Qian, the captain, glanced at the talkative tall man and said, “Look at your kissing-up appearance! I can already tell you want to do it. Go ahead! No one’s competing with you.”

The tall man’s name was Li Wei. Others called him Hua She Li (lOrange: literally translates to Flower Snake Li.) The name came to be, not only because he has snake tattoos all over his body, but because he has a loud mouth, the words just smoothly slip out of his mouth, annoying everyone else.

“Hey hey! Thanks captain!” Hua She Li looked at the five newcomers who were gradually waking up and showed a satisfied smile.

He was a greedy person. The job for introducing the details of the assignment to the newcomers can get 50 reward points. The rest of the team didn’t really care about that handful of points.

Because every time there was a new mission, they had to introduce a lot of information to the newcomers and answer some stupid questions, the tired group who had carried out countless reincarnation missions, grew more and more irritable at newcomers to the point of wanting to kill them. But killing a newcomer meant a deduction of a thousand reward points, which was a very heartbreaking number. So in order to avoid going through the heartbreak and loss, Hua She Li did the job many times.

A penny saved is a penny earned, although the reward was small, it was still a reward, and Hua She Li was reluctant to give it up.

In the newcomers there were 3 guys and 2 girls. There was a middle aged man wearing glasses, a young man, and a 13-14 year old looking boy. They were all pretty normal looking. Compared to the ordinary appearances of the guys, the two girls had slightly more eye-catching appearances. They both had long hair, but one of them was black-haired while the other was a blonde.

The blonde had her hair tied into a ponytail and she was chewing a piece of gum in her mouth. Overall, her appearance looked unruly. The black haired girl had her secured in a bun, making her looked dignified.

The 5 people, who all looked Asian, woke up from their coma and looked at each other in alarm.

“Who are you guys! Why did you kidnap me? Where is this place? Are you filming something? Let me go! Otherwise I’ll call the police!” The middle aged man who were glasses glanced around at the surroundings, and noticed the unfamiliar setting, so he started to shout loudly at the weirdly dressed reincarnators who stood besides them.

The man with closely cropped black hair standing next to Hua She Li became irritated and almost used his knife to stab the middle aged man.

“How dare you shout at this Lao Zi? Do you believe that this Lao Zi will cut you up? Is your mouth a ray guy? Tooting nonstop, so many questions, do you want to die?!”

(Lao zi- basically referring to oneself as the “great one.” )

Hua She Li quickly stopped him and coaxed, “Hey Lao Liu, relax, relax. I’ll deal with it. Don’t get angry, it’s bad for your body.”

With every newcomer that survives, the team is rewarded with 500 reward points, so Hua She Li is always trying to keep the newcomers alive, or at least, prevent internal killings.

Although it wasn’t always successful. There were a few times that all the newcomers died. Some died in the hands of the BOSS, and some died under the hands of their own team mates.

Well even though Lord God had prohibited internal killings, it was allowable to break someone’s four limbs and toss them to the side and wait for the BOSS to take care of them.

But that wasn’t any of his concern. He just wants to make money. If he could earn more, then naturally it’s great, but if he can’t make more, then that’s also okay. He did all he could, and who can survive is all up to fate.

Reincarnators are cold and indifferent people. He was no exception. When it comes to the safety of his own life, he wouldn’t care about anyone else.
