Chapter 130: The Urban Legend Chat Group
The system didnt expect that Gu Qianqian would invite the World Ender to her doorstep; Lu Yibei didnt expect that Gu Qianqian would literally live under a bridge.
Since Lu Yibei had no money on herself and Gu Qianqian was reluctant to spend money on a cab, the two walked for about ten kilometres from the University to her tiny little hut under the bridge.
Along the way, Lu Yibei kept a step or two behind Gu Qianqian and followed closely behind her. She silently kept her hand by her schoolbag, where she hid her kitchen knife.
After all, she didnt know Gu Qianqian that well. It was good to be on guard.
When Lu Yibei followed Gu Qianqian, they walked through the muddy path hidden in the bushes near the bridge and climbed down dangerous ladders with no safety precautions.
Lu Yibei was dumbfounded when they reached her homeif it could even be called a home.
Not even four walls, if you dont count the sole sheet covering the hut as a door. The roof was made of plastic sheets and wooden boards.
However, once they entered the shack, she couldnt help but feel shocked.
A slight fragrance, true to any girls rooma patchy sofa, as if it were sewed by a grandmother. By the window overlooking the river, there are several barrels cut into different heights, and various vegetables were planted inside.
A stream of clear spring water gushed out from the rock wall by the window and was accurately led by a few hollow knots of bamboo into an old fish tank used to store water.
A small platform extends out of the window, on which there is a cage woven with reeds, in which several pigeons are kept.
A TV was placed firmly on top of a dresser, and on the wall were neatly arranged wires that syphoned power from nearby street lights.
A round table with one leg missing, padded with bricks, was in the centre of the tiny hut, with a pile of handicrafts that have not yet been finished placed on it.
Yibei recognised them; she had seen similar things in the souvenir shops down Peony Street.
Even though the hut wasnt very big, it was cosy, and you could tell that it was neatly divided into the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc.
This girl is amazing. Living alone, she has mastered carpentry, cooking, masonry, becoming an electrician, farming, raising animals, and making handicrafts.
Originally, she felt a little sympathetic to Gu Qianqians situation, but isnt she living well on her own?
She felt bad for looking down on her.
Glancing at the vegetables planted outside in the barrels, rules out the possibility that shes an urban legend.
Hence, she may be a vigilante.
Gu Qianqian! Youre exposing your system! Come up with an excuse now!
To exorcise a demon in that alley! Thats right!
Is she really an exorcist? Lu Yibei thought, finding it hard to believe.
You do this often? she asked.
Tell her that you do it occasionally when you receive a commission, the system ordered.
Sometimes. When I get a commission.
Commission? Yibei murmured. No wonder she mentioned a task. Could there be other Night Divisions out there that shes working for? Who would trust a lone psychic user to hunt down urban legends?
Thats right. I am employed, Gu Qianqian said, as ordered by the system.
Who commissioned you? Im interested!
Yibei was genuinely interestedif she had to hunt down urban legends to sate her hunger every month, she might as well get some money out of it.
Plus, if this mysterious organisation does exist, shell meet more psychic users, and perhaps she can exchange her services for those enigmatic materials that Jumeng mentioned!
Its a chat group, Gu Qianqian (or the system) said. If you dont know the special code, you cant enter the chat group.
True enough, a chat group for something like this does exist. The system predicts that the World Ender will know about the chat group sooner or later, so it might as well mention it now.
If she joins too early, she may get into a fight with the monsters within and wind up hurt!
Oh? A chat group? Whats the name?
An Urban Legend Chat Group in the University Forums, Gu Qianqian replied. There are many chat groups with this name. You wouldnt know which is the real one, and according to the rules, I cant directly point it out to you. The only way to know is by invitation.
Gu Qianqian was still rambling according to the systems instructions.
But the moment Lu Yibei heard the words urban legend chat group, she suddenly thought of Pharoah, Daydream, Bright, and Brazil, who all succumbed to urban legends and entered her belly.
She thought that it was a coincidence that they were targeted by the Eclipse Society, but now it seems that things are not that simple; they may have entered the chat group by mistake or were invited by someone. Simply put
Hey! Hey! A fish ate your bait!
Just as Lu Yibei was deep in thought, Gu Qianqian rushed to her side and held her hand, pulling on her rod with newfound vigour.
