Chapter 98: You’re In Big Trouble!

8:30, in Huachengs University of Technology.

A junior and a senior, guided by fate, would run into each other in the corner, and their breakfast would be scattered all over the floor.

A handsome man would carry his friend with a sprained ankle, and his smile would make anyones day.

A professor would sigh as he tapped a message into his phone, which read, [I wish I could skip class too, but Im a f*cking teacher!]

Lu Yibei would walk into campus grounds with his backpack, and his gaze would dart around him, seemingly worried about something.

Although he didnt do anything bad, there was a kitchen knife and seventeen or eighteen charms in his bag, which always made him feel like he was carrying a backpack of weapons.

He regretted not taking the statue with him. A boy carrying a guitar bag is normal in this day and age.

The first class on Monday morning was taught by Professor Ma, and the attendance rate was exceptionally high.

When Lu Yibei managed to squeeze through the crowd and came to the classroom, it was already full of people, leaving only a few seats near the podium vacant.

Finding a place relatively far away from the podium and sitting down, Lu Yibei looked at the empty podium and frowned slightly.

Strange, where is he?

Sure enough, the bell rang, and Professor Ma entered the class right on time.

The once hearty old man who was strangely eager to deduct a students points seemed dulldark circles under his eyes, and his hair unkempt and messy. His clothes were tucked and untucked, and the hairs on his temples were snow-white.

Professor Ma walked to the centre of the podium in a trance, weakly saying, Self-study session today. If any of you leave the class, Ill be deducting points.

After speaking, he hurriedly left the classroom.

The same words sounded like the lamentation of a tiger that had been declawed, and soon the classroom became noisy.

Lu Yibei looked at the direction in which Professor Ma left, and he felt doubt.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Professor Ma is strict not only with students but with himself as well. This is out of character for him.

Not only was he late today, but he seemed out of it.

Something strange must have happened.

Is that true?

Yes. You can trust me.

Well, in that case, Professor Ma said, looking around the empty corridor before getting closer to him. Not to me, but to my student. Something happened to him.

Thinking of Lu Xu, he frowned again. The bamboo scrolls must be causing Lu Xu to

Im going to see him now. Maybe you should come along.

Professor Ma could sense something in Yibei, having encountered some strange things himself. He believes that everything can be explained with science, and hence, he chooses to believe in Yibei.

Sure, but Im not sure how Im supposed to help.

Try, Professor Ma forced a smile. Whether it works or not, I will be in your debt.

Besides, if anything goes wrong Professor Ma continued as he gripped Yibeis shoulder. Promise me you will ensure your own safety.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yibei met Lu Xu in the postgraduate dormitory of the University.

He sat in the corner of the room against the wall, wrapped his body in a quilt, and huddled up, not responding to any stimuli as he trembled from time to time.

Lu Yibei looked at Lu Xu; he didnt even blink his eyes once the entire time he was in here.

Lu Xu, this is my student, Lu Yibei. He might be able to help your situation, Professor Ma said.

Professor Ma and Lu Yibei entered the dormitory with keys borrowed from the dormitory manager. Lu Xu was not surprised by these two unexpected visitors, or rather, he did not care that they were in his room.

A few days ago, he came to me saying he was suffering from depression and wanted to withdraw from the project. I was too engrossed in my work, so I simply referred him to the universitys psychologist. He was completely normal, albeit tired and anxious, so I gave him a few days off.

After a pause, Professor Ma glanced at Lu Xu with some distress and said, I received the news this morning that he had injured his roommate. He hasnt slept at all for the past few days, and he would murmur unintelligibly.

His roommate told us that he was like a dog infected with rabies, pouncing at him and trying to bite him. As if something was possessing him, the professor whispered.

A possession? An evil spirit? Lu Yibei deduced, thinking back to the time when he was possessed by Zhu Linglong, and his abdomen shifted uncomfortably from memory.

While thinking, Lu Yibei looked at his backpack from the corner of his eye.

The charm, he thought. I might as well try it out. See if its effective.
