Chapter 12: Transaction

Chapter 12: Transaction

Helloooo? Anyone there?

Helloooo? I think you forgot someone in here! An innocent person! Hellooooo!

Lu Yibei slammed the door of the interrogation room and sighed.

If Mr Rabbit killing someone was real and not a dream, does that mean that his previous dream was real too?

If it was real, then who was the girl sitting by the edge of the building?

My mother? My ex-girlfriend? My future daughter?

Where is that building anyways?

Lu Yibei shut his eyes, attempting to remember every single detail of his dream. He was sure that there was no such building in Huacheng, let alone one tall enough to tower over the entire city.

God damn it, is anyone there?! Im still here! What you are doing is inhumane and a violation of my human rights! When I get out of here

Squeak!

The iron door swung open, and Lu Yibei swallowed his words immediately.

The maid walked in with a straight face and said, What were you saying?

Yibei could finally get a good look at the girlshe wasnt very tall, and she donned a traditional French maid outfit, which was black and white. Her figure is well-proportioned despite most of it being concealed under the frills of her dress.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Her face had anglo-saxon features, and her face had freckles dotted over it. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a pair of deep amethyst orbs stared back at him. Her light-grey, curly hair reached her ears, making her look like a sheep.

Yibei knew well that she was nothing like a sheep but a wolf in sheeps clothing!

How could somebody this delicate know of such heinous torture methods?

Yibei straightened his back and shook his head rapidly, No, no, I was saying that, uh, when I get out of here, I will keep my mouth shut! Yes! As if nothing had happened to me! And, and-

Thats enough, the maid interrupted. You can leave.

Huh?

We got what we wanted. Would you rather stay inside here?

No, of course not! Its just that Lu Yibei scratched his head. You guys are some kind of special force that deals with strange rumours and urban legends, right? Is it safe to just let me go?

Lu Yibei wasnt a fool, however. After his few previous encounters, he has a gut feeling that all of those rumours being spread across the city were real.

Could you leave your contact information with me? W-what if that rabbit thing finds me again?

Theres no need for that. He wont come looking for you.

Okay Yibei leaned forward slightly, rubbing his index finger and thumb together. Then, do I receive any rewards for helping you with this case? I am a remarkable citizen help-

No.

Yibei returned to his apartment and locked all his doors and windows. Putting his hands on his hips, he decided that it wasnt enough and found a safety latch and a car battery in his storage. After plugging in the safety latch, he connected them with a wire.

Although the maid told him that Mr Rabbit wouldnt be targeting him, he didnt believe her at all.

Recalling his dream, Mr Rabbit would knock on the door and twist the door handle before letting himself in. Even if something as trivial as a safety latch wont be able to stop him, itll buy Yibei some time.

After finishing his setup, he felt that something was missing. He glanced at the statue of Acala, the Immovable.

D-dont worry! Im not gonna do anything inappropriate.

He clasped his hands together and bowed to the statue before picking it up and heading upstairs.

The closed warehouse was dark, and a pungent, rotting smell permeated the air.

Somebody pushed the door open and entered.

The man sitting on the chair stood up quietly. His body was exposed to the faint light outside the door, but his face remained shrouded in darkness.

He looked at the strange figure that wore a rabbit head and had bloodshot eyes in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched into a sinister smile, and he announced, Mr Rabbit, shall I congratulate you for getting rid of that pesky Twilights control? Im sure youre all prepared by now.

When the man spoke, it was as if a cicada was speaking alongside him, which echoed in the dark and empty warehouse. It was irritating but strangely charming.

Thanks to you, the rabbit giggled. Something bad is about to happen, though. My last target was taken in by the Night Division, and Im worried that

Youre worried that theyll use that person to track you down, and you want me to get rid of them.

Yes! I predict that they are using him as bait so that they can capture me!

Hehe, the man giggled too. Well, twenty copies of psychic spirits, please.

Are you insane? the rabbit growled, baring his sharp fangs. Twenty copies of psychic spirits? Dont make me laugh. I have so many of them! Theres no need to be afraid of those people in the Night Division.

But youre afraid, arent you? Listen to me: I didnt ask you to fork over the spirits now. Remember when we hunted for the Witchs Egg? We had so much fun together, no? Twenty spirits and Ill help you awaken the Witchs Egg, and youll be able to grow stronger.

I accept.
