Chapter 157: Preparation

Chapter 157: Preparation

In the morning, at the University.

Some students had already returned to their dorms, while others remained in their classes.

At this moment, two figures sneaked out of the building as they ran towards the University gate.

I told you there wouldnt be anyone! Well be fine! the lanky boy said.

The chubby boy beside him panted and said, Im still a little worried Ive never skipped class before. If we get caught

Bah, we wont get caught! I skipped several times! Let me tell you, our teacher does roll call before class, so were in the clear! The day we get caught is the day we see ghosts flying up in the air! the lanky boy boasted, looking towards his friend.

However, his chubby friends forehead was plastered with cold sweat as he stared at the sky behind the lanky boy.

Hey, come on, skipping class isnt that big of a deal. What are you scared of?

You said if we get caught, well see ghosts flying, right?

Yeah?

Look behind you.

The lanky boy looked in the direction pointed out by the chubby boy. The two of them saw a boy phasing in and out of reality, and his feet were not on solid ground.

When they came back to their senses and were in a hurry to take a picture of this weird scene, the figure disappeared in the direction of the main path to Gate No. 4.

The infamous Gate No. 4

Thousands of thoughts came to mind, and the two boys who were about to skip class and go to the Internet cafe looked at each other for a while, silent.

Aha, the lanky voice whispered. Well, what do you know? I left my ID card in the dorms.

Aha, the chubby boy replied. I actually really like to study, so Ill head back to class. By the way, theres a temple nearby known for its spirituality. Why dont we go visit after school?

You dont have to tell me twice.

Feeling the oppression of powerful psychic energy fluctuations, the headless girl felt as if she had fallen into a maze of intertwined psychic energies. No matter what direction she went, she couldnt get rid of those eyes.

And all she can do is continue to speed up and escape.

Its okay. Look on the bright side; whatever you just described may not be malicious, he comforted.

How would you know? She spoke angrily, and a little blood spurted out from her neck.

Think about it, he said as he wiped the blood from his face. If it wanted to kill us, wed be dead by now.

Youre right again. Anyway, I was holding onto

As she spoke, Yibei fell deep in thought. There was still an urban legend in school, and preparations should be made just in case it decides to become active.

If worst came to worst, he decided to ask Jumeng for help.

Its good that we escaped, he said absentmindedly. Now, Ill go look for Professor Ma and find the girl, and you will

Find my head, please. I can feel my head being kicked around.

After bidding farewell to the headless girl, Lu Yibei left the school from the main road of Gate No. 4, found a cafe in the commercial street near the university town, and sat down in a corner.

The caf was deserted, which gave him the opportunity to study the photo.

Holding the photo in front of him, he felt his heart drop to the floor.

The old man wasnt in the photo anymore. All that remained was a scarlet lantern looming down the corridor.

Is this the same scarlet lantern that grew out of Lu Xus body?

Good. That means I know how to fight it. As long as it isnt stronger than Lu Xu, but where is it?

Holding the photo in one hand and resting his chin in the other, Lu Yibei thought for a while and suddenly felt that he was thinking about something wrong.

No, maybe I dont have to go find him myself.

I just need to figure out what he wants. Then hell appear before me.

Grasping the key, Lu Yibei suddenly felt that things had become easier.

Now, I have to confirm with Professor Ma regarding the bamboo scrolls and prepare for any chance encounter with them.

Yibei couldnt help but feel good about himself. Its good to be prepared!
