Chapter 126: She Agrees

He wanted to drive her out of the lab.

But how could one drive a young, innocent, and naked girl out into the unknown?

He would really rather she not speak at all.

You are you really the Lu Yibei I know? he asked.

Y-yes, its true.

I suppose I could help you keep your secret, but Professor Ma said as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Her heart skipped a beat as she clutched his coat tighter around her. Surely this old man isnt having strange ideas about

Where are your morals, old man?

On a remote path leading outside the campus.

A hesitant young girl walked out of campus with a dazed look in her eyes.

She wore a dark blue, buttoned-twill cardigan and linen cropped pants. The underwear hidden beneath had an ancient twinge to its fashion.

The girl is Lu Yibei, and the clothes on her body were found by Professor Ma. When Professor Ma was researching a special text about cloth dyeing, he asked the students to restore the clothes according to the recorded content and keep them inside the storage room of the laboratory.

It was just research, he told her. He didnt expect the small clothes to fit her that well.

Strangely enough, Lu Yibei felt as if the cores affecting her memory had been quelled.

Although the clothes had a weird texture to them, strangely enough, they didnt burn up into pieces, and her body temperature remained at a constant, pleasant level.

But what is that old plan planning?

She couldnt help but think of the deal she had just made with Professor Ma.

You may look different, but you are still my student; I have to protect my interests as well, Professor Ma said. And let me ask you, why havent you handed in the essay I asked you to do?

The system couldnt help but grumble under its breath. How could somebody this dumb be bestowed with so much power?

System, I know you asked me to stick the scraps from the bamboo scrolls into my flesh, but why? I dont want to die of an infection.

As a vagrant, she has seen many homeless people succumb to their untreated wounds. It is natural that she has worries like these.

There is no need to worry, the system assured. It is imperative that the bamboo scrolls remain embedded in your flesh so that you can form a connection, and you can wait until the full moon rises to go to that place.

Then, why do I even need to participate on a school night? Wont I just delay my mission?

Im helping you create an alibi! The bamboo scrolls will inevitably trigger strong psychic energy fluctuations, luring the Night Division over! Do you really think theyll come up to you and invite you for tea?

Makes sense, but why do I even need the bamboo scrolls on myself in the first place? That doesnt

Gu Qianqian, run!

The system went haywire and into overdrive, warning Gu Qianqian of an impending presence down the path. She turned her head around, only to be greeted by the sight of a young girl.

Gu Qianqian takes this path because nobody else would dare take it. Lu Yibei had the same idea, it seems.

It wasnt smart to remain in Professor Mas lab; what if Li Xuan decides to turn back? Besides, Professor Ma promised to help her with related matters at the school.

Good thing I told him Id turn back to normal in three to five days, she grumbled. I dont have to submit that thesis for at least a week.

She planned to leave campus on this path, but never in a million years would she expect to meet Gu Qianqian on this path.

She must be sneaking into campus from this path. No wonder I dont see her around that often

Just as she was deep in thought, Gu Qianqian immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction. She took several looks behind her as she ran.

Why does she keep running away from me? she sighed, deciding to chase after them. There were things she had to ask them.

Hey! Dont run! I want to talk!

Gu Qianqian heard her words, and all she did was run faster.
