Chapter 70): Hell’s Kitchen

Chapter 70): Hell’s Kitchen

Back in her apartment, Lu Yibei heaved a sigh of relief.

She decided not to take the elevator; a lone girl pulling a trolley case and a statue may attract unwanted attention.

Although the Night Division may not pay close attention to her place of residence, its better to be cautious.

Pushing open the door to the stairs, dusty air greeted her nostrils. Carrying the statue in one hand and the trolley case in the other, she carefully closed the door, trying not to make any noise.

Climbing up the stairs, she quietly analysed tonights events.

The Plate Deity game harbours a great evil, but she learnt that through incantations, she was able to stimulate the power in her own body.

Now that she ruined the ritual, it doesnt mean that shes off scot-free. The entity behind the ritual may still target her, so she must find its source and be prepared to deal with it.

Pity that my clearance is too low. Otherwise, I could easily look for it in the Night Division records.

Just how do I become a full-time worker in the Night Division?

The girl in my dreams told me not to be involved with the Night Division if I wanted to survive, but if you cant beat them, join them.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she had already reached her floor.

She pushed open the iron door of the stairwell and entered the password to open her door.

Accompanied by a soft sound, she could hear a commotion coming from inside her house.

Hurry! Shes back! We have to clean up!

Im not afraid of her! We are free spirits; we have the right to roam around the house!

There he goes again. You still need to help us clean up! Come on, hold this stick in your mouth and clean up the cobwebs!

Lu Yibei paused outside the door, waiting for them to finish cleaning.

She could tell that if she were to enter now, she might devour them out of spite.

After performing that weird ritual, she felt unstable.

It was as if she had awakened something within her, and violent thoughts would pop up in her mind.

Although she was still able to control it, its hard to guarantee that shell remain sane.

After waiting for a few minutes, she slowly opened the door, only to be greeted by a terrifying figure.

None of you know how to eat this thing, do you?

Right.

How could such weak apparitions have the ability to eat the cores of other urban legends?

Hehe, I know! the eyeball chuckled.

Oh? Have you eaten one before?

Nope!

This little Yibei grumbled. Hold that eyeball down. Dont let it run away.

Ive got some experiments I want to try.

Since she couldnt get any useful information out of them, she could only do it by trial and error.

To be on the safe side, she had to figure out how much she could eat at a time.

She guessed that eating something as sinister as this would definitely cause some side effects.

Lu Yibei picked up a charred doll and walked towards the kitchen.

The other apparitions panicked after looking at this scene, and under her coercion, they held the eyeball down amidst his protests.

In the kitchen, Yibei rummaged through the cabinets and found her familys ancestral set of knives.

They were stored in a brown leather bag, and there were three knives in total.

Ever since she was hospitalised following the car accident, she hadnt touched these knives in forever. Surprisingly enough, they werent rusty at all.

Are these magical knives?

She dismissed the idea.

Thinking about it, she held a knife out, pressed the core of the doll with one hand, and then brought the knife down with the other.

Maybe I should make a salad, Yibei said to himself.

The other apparitions shuddered, seeing the doll being cut in half cleanly. Could this knife be used against them in the future?

It truly was Hells Kitchen at that very moment for them.
