Chapter 49): Do You Know Him?

Chapter 49): Do You Know Him?

At noon, in the student lounge of the university

Lu Yibei sat alone in the corner, staring at the stack of A4 papers on the small round table, attempting to sort out the doubts in his heart so that he could get information from Jiangli later in the afternoon.

As long as I mention the classification of the urban legends and the basic knowledge relating to psychic powers, Jiangli should be more than glad to tell me about it, he thought.

She might not tell me everything, though, considering that I am just a part-time worker there.

After pondering for a moment, he picked up a pen and wrote:

[1. How did Shui acquire Acala, the immovable?

What does the Black Sun Totem represent?Ways for urban legends to feedWhat did the girl mean by few days every month? ]

Yibei wrote down five or six questions that he wanted to know on the piece of paper and stared at the paper for a good minute. After nodding at the contents, he tore the paper into pieces, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it at the nearest trash can.

He picked up the paper cup that was filled with coke and downed it in a single gulp.

It was as if he had taken a shot of alcohol, and the tingling and burning sensation in his throat calmed his nerves.

When he was in a state of hunger, he realised that he was unable to eat human food. The only reprieve he had was that he was still able to drink, so he tried everything from plain water to any single beverage available on campus.

After his tests, he found that the most he could drink was Coke.

If he were to take a step further and drink something more nutritious, like fruit juices or dairy products, he would immediately vomit.

Although drinking Coke cant solve his problem, it would provide him with a bit of energy.

Who couldve imagined that the terrifying witch destined to destroy the world would have to rely on sugar water to sustain himself?

At the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, in the office labelled V.

After eating the bento sent by her maid, Jiangli laid down on the table for a short rest. Afterwards, she made herself a cup of strong tea and turned on the computer.

There is still time before Yibei arrives, so there is still time for two more rounds!

This beautiful girl seemed to be obsessed with mahjong, and she was so immersed that she didnt even realise that her maid had escorted Yibei into the office.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Yibei was strangely calm today; he didnt know if there was a warning mechanism for whenever urban legends would stray near the Night Division Headquarters, and he feared that Jiangli would see right through him.

[IN SUMMARY, ONCE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN AN URBAN LEGEND, THE URBAN LEGEND WILL MANIFEST IN REALITY.]

He gulped as he saw the line of words and started praying in his heart, Bai Xiaohua is real, Bai Xiaohua is real, Bai Xiaohua is

Even if you chant it repeatedly, your 2D wife will never become real. Even if she does, theres a high chance that she will just kill you.

Jianglis voice broke his trance, and it felt like a knife stabbing into him.

How did you know? Was I saying it out loud?

I just guessed you were staring at those bolded words for too long. Listen, we had an operator who was an avid fan of the [Alien] series, and guess what happened to him?

Did they inject him with a parasite? Face-huggers?

Lets just say that the city he was in no longer exists, Jiangli said as she stepped forward, closing the Night Division records in Yibeis hand. Right, ask away. I dont want you to receive too much information at once.

Hmm, let me think Yibei pretended to ponder. Well, about the statue of Acala, the Immovable. Ive had it for some time now, but I still dont know how to use it correctly.

Im not surprised. For an ordinary person like you, at most, it just wards off evil.

Can you explain? Yibeis eyes lit up.

If psychic energy is channelled into the statue, it will begin to glow and chant Buddhist scripture, and this is enough to dispel Level C threats.

So is it explosive?

Why do you ask that?

Well, y-you said that if someone were to channel psychic energy into it, it would become stronger, so I was wondering Yibei frantically explained before he was cut off by Jiangli.

Its a speculation, but if the energy is pure enough, the statue would explode with immense raw power.

Nice! he said as his eyes lit up. By the way, this statue was given to me by a guardian of mine, and his full name is Bai Kai Shui. Do you know him? Or does he work here?

When his name was mentioned, Jiangli was visibly surprised, but her expression returned to normal in an instant. I dont know who that is.

She does know who he is! Why is she hiding it?
