Chapter 40): I Am The Greatest Mole
Youll be discharged from the hospital today, Jiangli said as she walked into the ward.
Yibei looked into Jianglis eyes; they were clear, but they werent very human-like. It filled him with a strange emotion.
He was worried she could gather clues from him.
What? Jiangli tilted her head, seeing that Yibei didnt respond. Dont you want to be discharged from the hospital?
Let him go through the procedures.
Understood, miss.
The maid left to get the documents needed, and only Yibei and Jiangli were left in the ward.
Jiangli walked to the sofa, straightened her skirt, and sat down. She continued staring at Yibei, which made him feel uneasy,
Am I making you uncomfortable? she sighed. Shall I go outside?
Yes! I mean no! Wait
Realizing he had made a slip of the tongue, he was stunned: W-wait, my leader, listen to me. Im not uneasy because of you; well, I am, but
Jiangli simply got up and left the ward.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
A few minutes later, in front of the hospital gate
The silver-haired girl was wearing a black tunic and a long, black chiffon skirt. She leaned on a cane and stood by the side of the road, and her black boots concealed the flaws in her legs.
Her exquisite appearance, combined with gothic fashion, attracted the attention of people from time to time, but nobody came forward to strike up a conversation with her. They were admiring her beauty, like watching the pristine moons reflection in the water. Nobody was willing to reach out to the waters for fear that they might disturb the scene.
She stood there alone, frowning.
Letting Yibei be discharged from the hospital was a decision she made after several days of consideration.
However, she wasnt sure if it was the correct decision.
He had a very special ability to locate Mr Rabbit by touching the scissors that he used.
If Yibei becomes a psychic user, there is a high probability that he will survive. Hence, he will be a great addition to Huachengs Night Division.
Jiangli, An Qing, and Li Xuan all felt that recruiting Lu Yibei was a good idea, but Bai Kai
She didnt blame him for his outburst; she didnt blame him for acting like a child; she didnt blame him for poking out the tires of Li Xuans car; she didnt blame him for pouring red paint into An Qings blood plasma storage
She couldnt ever blame him. Those who were able to track urban legends have always had a big target painted on their back.
Didnt you say you wanted to read the [Night Division Records]? She tilted her head. If you read it by yourself, there might be some things you dont understand. I can guide you.
Jiangli thought that she could teach Yibei about the various urban legends as well as some common traits of psychic powers and energies. This way, she could compensate for risking his life as well as ensure his safety.
Ah, but I thought An Qing was the one who taught newcomers.
Dont you want me to teach you instead? she asked. Thats fine. I can arrange for An Qing to help you out.
Although she spoke without expression, he could feel like there was a threat underneath her words.
N-no. Im glad if youre willing to teach me.
Good, she nodded in satisfaction. I checked your schedule, by the way. Youre free after two oclock in the morning tomorrow, so come by the Night Division around two thirty.
By the way, she continued, glancing at the toilet seat. That thing
I bought it before I got injured, and they kept it at the hospital for me.
Ah. She rubbed her eyebrows. Want me to drive you back? Ah, Hua should be here soon with the car.
Nope! Ill get myself a taxi, he boasted. In the past two days, I snatched a bunch of taxi vouchers. Isnt it crazy? The fare is 10 yuan, but I only have to pay 0.2 yuan!
Jiangli was visibly annoyed at him and turned away.
How could I have ever suspected that such a guy would have anything to do with that newborn witch?
I think too much.
Soon, Ah Hua, the maid, took Jiangli home.
After watching them leave, Yibei didnt return to his house but asked the driver to take him to the apartment complex near his university.
The house was way too close to the Night Divisions headquarters.
If he fails to control his transformation one night, itll all be over.
If he transforms within proximity of the Night Division, they might think that he is declaring war on them and kill him on the spot.
Hell, even death would be a mercy.
Until he could figure out what the girl in his dream meant by every few days in a month, he would never step foot on Peony Street.
He sighed.
I have become an urban legend, yet I am still affiliated with the Night Division. Doesnt that mean that Im the worlds biggest mole?
What should I do?
