Chapter 100: Charms

Chapter 100: Charms

After Lu Xu fainted, Lu Yibei and Professor Ma froze for a few seconds before helping him up and rushing him to the hospital.

The dormitory fell silent, leaving only the faint fragrance to tell the tale of what transpired in the room.

The bright sunshine poured into the room, but it distorted slightly as the wind blew, refracting off something invisible.

A gust of wind poured into the room once again and accompanied by the breeze, a girl in blue landed in the centre of the room.

She stood still, her face hidden behind the mask she wore. Looking around, she found a charred piece of wood devoid of any energy.

Right here, the girl muttered, picking up the charm. The wood of the charm was not completely scorched, and the spell could still be vaguely discerned.

The girl toyed with the charm, and a playful smile appeared on her face.

Earlier, she was lying on the roof of the library once again to look out for the Witch that studies at the University of Lin Yiqi.

At this moment, a strange wave of psychic energy washed over the University. There were hundreds of waves of psychic energy that washed over the University on a daily basis, so she paid those no mind, but

This specific wave of energy felt familiar. She felt as if she needed to check it out.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who remember how to make this charm, but

Which fool used the core of an urban legend to make the charm? she shouted as she sniffed the charm.

How interesting! I cant wait to see which genius is responsible for making this.

And just like that, she was gone with the wind.

The lingering wind swept up the remaining charms off the floor, and all that remained were cherry blossom petals that fluttered in the room.

In the hospital.

Lu Yibei bit his fingernails.

Because of the urgency of the current situation, he left all of his charms in the room. He hoped nobody would notice them, but he couldnt help but feel anxious.

Ah, maybe I shouldnt have helped Professor Ma.

A doctor came out of the emergency room, and Professor Ma hurriedly went up to him.

I say that, but Dongyi is a broad concept; there are nine main types of Dongyi, which are Wanyi, Yuyi, Fangyi, Huangyi, Baiyi, Chiyi, Xuanyi, Feng Yi, and Yang Yi. Judging from the style of your writing, it should be Feng Yi.

Professor Ma is actually very good at lecturing, but relying entirely on his strictness does not allow students to study hard and listen to the knowledge.

The magnetic voice speaks eloquently, and the obviously boring content will cause feelings of drowsiness.

Hearing this, Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully.

Look up information on this. This will be your exam this semester.

Is that fine?

Yes. You have read through the textbook, havent you? Remember, no less than 10,000 words or your grades

will be deducted. Got it? Yibei rolled his eyes.

As for the inscriptions, I roughly translated them. The content is similar to a passage in the [Book of Rites]: Through the night, the divine sentence glows, and

Something itched at Yibeis mind, and he hurriedly covered Professor Mas mouth.

Stop talking right now, Professor. If you continue talking, something bad might happen.

Professor Ma nodded but was visibly confused by his actions.

Promise me that youll never say or think those strings of words again, and Ill explain why.

Professor Ma nodded again, and Lu Yibei calmed down. Well, you know how the both of us are encountering strange things? As a professor, you should know that gods are born of belief, and with these gods come powerful words that call out their name.

Professor Ma stared at Yibei intently as he listened, only to let out a dry laugh.

Hah! Yibei, arent you being a little superstitious? I am a man of science! Even though what we went through was unnatural, I have been researching this for many years. I read aloud many scriptures and ancient texts, and yet I am still here, right in front of you.

Its a miracle youre alive! Yibei cursed inwardly. All I did was mutter Zigus prayer a few times, and to this day, its still staring at me!

Only then did it dawn on him that studying history meant encountering and learning about ancient entities. He suddenly felt that Bright was smarter than she was given credit for since she started making charms to protect herself from these strange entities.

The occult may be special, but we have to believe in science too.

Got it, got it, Yibei absentmindedly muttered, choosing to inch away from Professor Ma ever so slightly.

T/N: Weve made it to chapter 100! I look forward to working on this novel for as long as I can.
