Volume 2, Chapter 13 (Chapter 51): Don’t You Know This Place Is Haunted?

Dusk falls in Lu Yibei’s apartment.

Lu Yibei sat on the sofa with his laptop on his lap, and the apparitions in his home surrounded him, casting their gloomy yet concerned gazes on him.

“The first step to getting people to believe is to attract their attention!” the wig said.

“I don’t think your username is interesting enough.” The nightgown gestured. “Maybe something more… eye-catching.”

I don’t remember asking any of you, Yibei thought silently.

He was a little irritated as he tapped his fingers on the keyboard. He had just registered an account to prepare for a live broadcast, and the apparitions living in his room kept rambling behind his back.

It’s like playing a video game and having someone sit behind you the entire time.

“I’ve got an idea!” the eyeball chirped up. “If I were a witch, I would definitely use my big breasts and seductive appearance to lure ignorant men into a small, dark room and eat them up!”

A pair of hands loomed over the eyeball as the other apparitions backed away, and the pair of hands flattened the eyeball and squeezed it, tossing it into a corner.

Yibei sighed as he returned to his laptop. He wasn’t ready to begin live streaming or uploading any short videos yet.

He set his laptop aside to avoid burning it to a crisp later and glanced out the window. It was already evening, and the brilliant, bright orange blended into the royal purple of the night, casting a bright, rose-coloured halo upon the sky.

Time to move, Yibei thought. He picked up his coat and guitar bag and put on his pair of clogs, heading towards the rooftop.

Clogs are the only kind of shoes that could withstand his higher-than-normal body temperature after he transforms into a witch.

Besides, if he were to walk barefoot on campus grounds, he would attract unwanted attention.

Lu Yibei turned around, and his gaze swept over the apparitions who crowded in front of his laptop.

“Come on, let’s watch a movie!”

“What about the news?”

“I think we should watch humans exchange their DNA with each other!”

Yibei simply sighed as he stepped forward to cut off the Wi-Fi. Better safe than sorry.

11:27 p.m.

In front of the girls’ dorm, behind the bushes that were hidden from the prying eyes of surveillance cameras.

Yibei sat by the bushes, taking advantage of the darkness to cover her petite figure.

In about half an hour, the lights in the student dorms will be turned off.

About ten minutes before lights out, many girls would rush back into the dorm, and Yibei planned to take advantage of the crowd to sneak into the girls’ dorms.

Although she had transformed into her witch form, she was still a little apprehensive about sneaking into the girls’ dormitory, especially when there was an old man who was like an iron tower guarding the door.

Yibei had been hiding and observing for almost an hour, and during this time, she could see the security guard gently stroking his large, iron baton.

The iron baton weighed at least a dozen kilogrammes, and he waved it around as if it were nothing.

Yibei gulped.

Time passed bit by bit, and she would occasionally raise her head and glance at the girls’ dormitory.

The outline of the dorm loomed over her in the darkness, and it was eerily silent.

Many of the rooms have turned off their lights, and she felt eyes on her beyond the endless, dark windows. The clothes that were hung outside the girls’ balcony were like shadowy figures that stared straight into her soul.

She forced herself to look away, and at the same time, she could see many girls returning to the dorm. She immediately got up to start her infiltration plan, and at this moment, a faint crying noise could be heard.

Yibei immediately ducked back down into the bushes.

A girl wearing a black trench coat hurried out of the girls’ dormitory, pulling a large trolley case. On her shoulder, a large, ferocious, and unformed foetus rode.

The girl passed the duty room and was stopped by security. After a short exchange, she simply walked out of the dorm.

‘Where is she going?’

Judging from the words from her “friends” at home, if the strength and activity of urban legends increase in these next couple of days, is she planning to go out to feed?

Lu Yibei shuffled out of her hiding spot and followed closely.

No matter where she was going, it would be good for Yibei.

She was previously worried that she would be caught in the girls’ dormitory, but if her target were to go outside, then everything would go smoothly.

Lu Yibei followed the girl all the way out of the university and watched as she hailed a taxi from a distance.

Yibei hurriedly hailed another taxi, like in a movie plot, and immediately pointed towards the other taxi.

“Please follow that taxi!”

“…” The driver was strangely silent and refused to start the car.

“Excuse me? Could you please follow that car?” Yibei asked as she leaned forward, and after seeing the driver’s face, she sighed. “You again?”

“Y-you witch! Please stop bothering me. I-I’ll be good; please just leave me alone.”

Yibei dug his arms into the car seat and smiled, “I thought you believed in science! Do you really believe that urban legends exist?”

As she spoke, she glanced at the taxi that was about to disappear into the distance.

“I… I made that story up last time. I went to Linjiang Avenue to look… look for my boyfriend.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes! So please follow that taxi! That girl in the taxi seduced my boyfriend!”

Half an hour later, after chasing the girl through half of the city, the taxi in front suddenly turned and drove towards a relatively narrow road.

Yibei’s driver followed behind, keeping a safe distance. The further he drove, the more desolate the surrounding scenery became.

Soon, there was only one narrow road left. It was winding and winding, and it extended halfway up the mountain before disappearing into the dense forest.

As soon as the road narrowed, the driver slammed on his brakes and turned around, saying, “Little girl, be honest. Are you trying to kill me?”

“No!”

“Then, why are you asking me to drag you to Shihekou High School in the middle of the night?”

The driver sighed as he lit a cigarette.

“Wasn’t this high school famous back in the day?” I haven’t heard of them in a while now.”

“Pssh, I think you’re pretending to be unaware,” the driver scoffed. “Don’t you know that this place is haunted?”
