Chapter 195: Unexpected Surprise

One after another ripples swayed in the air, and the shimmering light attracted by the bamboo slips outlined an illusory, unformed vortex.

Seeing that the portal leading to the bamboo scrolls world was gradually taking shape, Yibei zipped up her jacket and turned to Professor Ma.

Professor, its about to start. I suggest you stay as far away as possible.

He wordlessly nodded, and seeing her walk towards the bamboo scrolls, he called out one last time, Yibei!

What is it?

Ah, if I study similar antiques again in the future, you have to help me check them so similar tragedies dont happen again.

In translation, he wanted me to come back safe, and she smiled. Got it!

She walked forward but stopped and ran back towards Professor Ma.

W-what? Are you not going in anymore?

No I just dont know how long Ill be in there, and I might get hungry, so

She snatched a few cooked fish from the ground and stuffed them in her pockets, then leapt into the portal, leaving Professor Ma behind.

The bamboo scrolls rapidly absorbed all energy from the surroundings, and the vortex soon glowed with an ominous scarlet light.

The portal beyond the vortex showed a black-and-white world, and the black mountains seemed to be dotted with a bloody light.

There were various sounds from the barren mountainsthe sobs of a girl, the sighs of an old woman, and the growls of a beast.

Before she fell into the vortex fully, she glanced back, and her pupils shrank in horror as they burned with intense pain.

She could see that there was a dense mass of strange figures looming behind Professor Ma.

A woman with long hair, covering her face with her rotten hands and feet exposed under her tattered dress.

A giant worm covered with sarcomas

Eight pale children stand together in a line, with dark red flesh connecting them together.

Something swam in the river, poking its head out.

There were more figures behind Professor Ma, and the number exceeded half a hundred.

An Qing glanced at Jiangli and sighed.

All of a sudden, a bright light flashed outside their vehicle, and the car door was forcibly opened. A strong gust of wind blinded them, and when they regained their vision, they saw Bai Kai sitting right next to Li Xuan.

Whats the situation like? Bai Kai asked, his eyes drifting towards Li Xuan knowingly.

Well, our colleagues detected a large number of urban legends near a river, but we arent sure whats happening now.

Man, I thought it was something really serious. I almost couldnt keep up with your car, he joked. Are you sure, though? I ran through the entire mountain, and I didnt sense anything unusual.

Thats impossible, Li Xuan interjected.

Are you doubting me?

Thats what I thought, he scoffed. By the way, I gave you a souvenir.

Li Xuan eyed him suspiciously. Why is Bai Kai so generous all of a sudden?

Bai Kai threw him a dark object, and feeling the rubbery texture through his gloves, he could tell that it was a piece of a rubber tyre, which almost strangely felt like his own tyre.

Did you slash my fucking tyre? Li Xuan yelled. Oh, youre done. Im going back to headquarters and filing a formal complaint against you!

And youre just among the many hundreds who filed a formal complaint against me, and yet, Im still here, Bai Kai shrugged and fell deep into his thoughts.

What was Yibeis professor doing by the river late at night?

Yes, he knew who Professor Ma was. Before Yibei enrolled in university, he had already investigated all of his teachers.

Later, he discovered that his godson had a special relationship with Professor Ma, yet he found nothing unusual.

Judging from the remnants of the psychic energy fluctuations, there were at least a hundred urban legends by the river accompanying Professor Ma, but he is now just alone there.

What happened? Will Yibei get thrown into the mental hospital?

It was strange to him. There were no humans living in the surrounding area for more than ten miles, and the urban legends disappeared when he arrived.
