Chapter 50): Tattoo

Chapter 50): Tattoo

Is that so? Yibei asked. Isnt it strange for him to just carry an item like Acala, the Immovable, around? He might be related to a cult of some sort, so maybe you should keep a close eye on him!

R-right, Jiangli nodded. I will investigate this, uh, person named Bai Kai Shui.

My next question! When I was spying on Mr Rabbit and his accomplices, I saw a strange tattoo on one of his accomplices

As soon as he mentioned a tattoo, Jianglis pupils shrank as she slightly trembled as if she remembered something terrible.

I originally wanted to look for it in the Night Division Records, but I couldnt find anything on it

I know exactly what you are talking about. We are trying to track them down. In short, they are a terrorist organisation, and you know too much about them. I suggest steering clear of them if you happen to run into them.

A terrorist organisation? he frowned. I cant avoid them even if I wanted to; they seem to be tracking me down! Hell, one of them stole my dinner!

Alright, Jiangli broke the silence. Thats enough for today. Come back tomorrow.

B-but I still have a lot of questions, he pouted. However, seeing Jianglis steely expression, he sighed as he turned to leave.

The moment he pushed open the office door, Jiangli called out to him, Wait!

What is it?

Dont go out for the next two or three nights. Urban legends become more active during the transition of the dark moon to the new moon.

Speaking of which, I have something serious to ask!

Speak.

Do you have any other psychic items I could use? I dont have any psychic energy, so doesnt that mean that the statue I have is useless?

Jiangli glared at him, and he immediately ran out of the office.

On Peony Street, the wind swept by, and the few ancient willows danced in the wind.

Yibei walked on the ancient street and pondered as he admired the scenery: Since urban legends can feed on human fear or worship, doesnt that mean I wont have to hunt in the future? How can I make humans believe in me?

A podcast? A video? I dont know if theres a distance limit either.

He decided to register two accounts later to test it out. The most important thing today was to sneak into the girls dormitory.

Although it was a bit shameful, he swore he was about to starve to death. Who cares about dignity when you have an empty stomach?

And when I get my hands on that girl hosting that damned baby

Shut up! Doesnt this mean that this problem is solved? Whats the point of calling me?

Its unreliable, she replied coldly. Sooner or later, hes going to find out. You should find a way to deal with him as soon as possible. Next time, Im not lying to cover for you.

Okay, okay, geez, I get it, he sighed as he hung up. He lit up a cigarette and looked at the painting on the wall.

His new number was also blocked by Yibei, so he couldnt exactly contact him. He could only

Shui, where are you? A soft whine came from his bedroom. Shui, this goblin cave needs a big stick!

Bai Kai immediately leapt off his sofa and ran towards the bedroom with a wretched smile.

Not long after Bai Kai hung up, Jianglis maid, Hua, walked in angrily.

Miss! How could he possibly ask you for another item to protect himself? I have never seen such a greedy boy in my entire life! The maid complained. Need me to chase him out and teach him a lesson?

No need, she sighed. Its not that I dont want to give him an item, its just that

Many Night Division members are non-psychics and rely on specially-made equipment to defend themselves.

These weapons are not only made to fight urban legends but could also be used against ordinary people, which means that they are extremely lethal. Weapons like these are not appropriate to hand over to a college student.

As for the other, more benign psychic items or equipment, some need psychic energy to power, like the statue of Acala, the Immovable, or some are used to detect nearby urban legends. Yibei couldnt possibly use them.

Hua, Jiangli sighed as she rubbed her temples. Leave me alone for a bit.

Are you okay, miss?

Its fine. Just leave.

I-Ill be at the door. Please call me if you need anything, the maid responded in a low voice.

As soon as she left, Jiangli got up and unbuttoned her grey-blue cloak as she crept towards the mirror.

As the cloak slipped down her smooth back and her long hair draped over her shoulders like a cape, she turned around slowly, brushing aside the hair that obscured her back.

A Black Sun Totem tattoo was reflected in the mirror.

She stared at the tattoo from the corner of her eye, thoughtful.

The Solar Eclipse

One day, Ill destroy you with my own hands, Jiangli thought, as her eyes turned an icy blue.
