In Chapter 2 of Episode 7, Ariel's Warning:

"Little Mo, what does 'drawing lots' mean? Are you really leaving me? And that annoying guy named Fu Xiu, does he sense your presence?"

During the break while waiting for the tour bus, Sajin, unable to contain herself any longer, dragged me to the restroom to ask,

"What do you mean by 'drawing lots'? It's how we dwarves decide attendance at our annual tribal assembly!"

My freshly fabricated reason was delivered without a hint of guilt; I'm becoming an increasingly professional lie-maker.

"Because there are quite a few dwarves scattered all over the world, holding meetings is inherently troublesome, and it's impossible for everyone to attend. But for fairness, we always decide by drawing lots."

"And what about Fu Xiu?"

"Well… I don't understand. But, aren't some humans able to see ghosts and other spirits? I think it's related to wavelength. Maybe his magnetic field allows him to sense our dwarf race, who knows?" I muttered.

"I see… Then, Little Mo, is there any way to avoid being drawn?" she asked seriously.

I really didn't want it to turn out this way.

"There's probably no way... The clan chief will personally supervise the drawing of lots, and attending the Dwarf Assembly is an honor, so everyone's fighting tooth and nail..." even to the point of life and death.

"Little Mo, won't you miss me at all?" Hearing me say this, tears were about to stream down her face.

"Of course I'll miss you, but from the Dwarfs' perspective, gaining the right to attend is as exciting as graduating successfully and obtaining noble status!"

In terms of a life-or-death gamble, winning the lottery is hundreds of times more exciting than this!

"Don't worry, it's just a meeting, it's not like you're never coming back, it's just a few days away."

"Then... when is the drawing of lots?" she asked me, holding back her sadness.

"After the graduation trip, I guess? If you're chosen, the clan will send an invitation; if you don't receive one, then it's fine." I made up a story.

Sama seemed to believe me, so she didn't ask any more questions, but after a whole day of sightseeing, apart from keeping Fu Xiu away, she was somewhat absent-minded.

When evening came, roll call began as usual.

Tonight we're staying at a rural guesthouse. The lobby isn't spacious enough, so everyone in the rooms is meeting in the courtyard square instead. I secretly climbed out of my suitcase, intending to leave the room through the window and head to the designated meeting point with Ashu.

"Listen carefully, although Ashu is responsible for your transportation, it will be very troublesome if our whereabouts are exposed. If the room is under surveillance or it's inconvenient for outsiders to enter, then you'll have to move out yourself.

"The buffer time is five minutes. If Ashu hasn't met you by 8:05, find a way to leave the room yourself, preferably through the window. Ashu will be hiding in the direction where he can see the window."

The paparazzi had already anticipated this situation when he decided Ashu was my transport. While admiring his foresight, I dragged over a chair and opened the window.

"Going out?" "A weak voice, as if she were about to die, spoke.

My foot slipped, and I immediately fell off the chair.

"A...Airien, don't scare me..."

Although I knew she was elusive, I wasn't used to it yet, and she startled me for the third time. Her appearance was becoming more and more terrifying—this time, only half of her left eye and mouth and nose were missing, making me almost unable to be sure if it was her.

"Don't worry! Soon you won't be able to see me anymore." She sighed.

The remaining fragment of her face descended to the same height as me, and the internal structure of her eyeballs was so clear that it was impossible to pretend not to see them.

"So what brings you here this time?"

Could it be that she wants me to accompany her through the last moments she can still be "seen"?

"You have to be careful, there's big trouble." She said in a weak voice.

"There are souls spreading everywhere, saying that you not only have the ability to transform into a human, but also have many humans around you who help eliminate those possessed by souls. There are rumors circulating outside that you are the chosen one to summon souls in Heaven, on the condition that you help Heaven remove as many souls as possible." "The possessed ones are all in an uproar now, coming to take revenge on you."

"Who spread the rumors?" I asked, trying to remain calm.

Since Ariel came to inform me, it meant she believed me. The problem was, who fabricated this potentially fatal lie? The decadent man? Zhengxu and his wolf brother? Or the tree spirit that was burned to death yesterday?

"I heard it was a crow." Ariel's answer surprised me.

"A crow?" My first thought was of the unlucky ghost pierced by the Time Mirror's arrow, but I immediately dismissed the idea.

It couldn't possibly still be alive; it must be another possessed one.

There might be more than one possessed crow in the flock, but besides it, which other crow knew I could transform?

...Could it not have been completely dead that day?

Speaking of which, I personally witnessed Ash and C burying the cat's corpse, but they overlooked that guy who looked like he'd fallen into ink. Perhaps Ash, who pulled the arrow from its body, would know something?

"I don't know whether I should believe you or not." "Whatever the truth is, the massive gathering of possessed beings is like starting a new game. I just don't want you, who's unaware of this, to be eliminated without even knowing it," Arian said.

"You have to do your best. If you can hold off this wave, your dream of paradise will be almost over."

The combined forces... are they really that large?

Before I could feel happy for my dream of paradise, cold sweat was pouring down my back.

"I don't know when they'll attack." Arian shook her head, and the last half of her eyeball disappeared without a trace.

"Arian..." Looking at her, I felt only sadness.

In her eyes, I was still the same, but I could only see fewer and fewer of my incomplete self.

"I'm really sad about you becoming a wandering spirit," I said.

"No matter what kind of existence you are, no matter what form you take, there will always be something you're not satisfied with," she said quietly.

Unlike the previous two times, this time she had a calm acceptance after seeing through things.

"The poor are not satisfied with poverty, and the rich are not satisfied with not being rich enough." "If I were a soul that didn't draw a lot, I might complain about my fate of being assimilated with the possessed creature; if I returned to heaven, I might find it boring, who knows?"

"Maybe you could reincarnate?" I unconsciously started discussing a non-existent future with her.

"If I became an animal, I might protest why I couldn't be born a human; if I became a disabled human, I might curse my fate. If I had all my limbs, perhaps I would worry about my appearance, my studies, or my future. If no matter what I choose, I can't stop complaining, then I might as well just go with the flow."

"That makes sense." I agreed.

Happiness or unhappiness isn't determined by others. Although this might just be a self-deprecating remark, seeing how content she was, I could only wish her well.

As if sensing I was in a hurry, Ariel soon took her leave. I climbed out the window and easily slipped out of the deserted back door of the guesthouse, but Ash didn't come to meet me.

What could it be? Could he be hiding somewhere further away?

Now that I think about it, the voyeur's words had some flaws—what did he mean by "somewhere where the window is visible"?

I was searching like a thief in the deserted alleys nearby, and this thought couldn't help but cross my mind.

There wasn't just one spot where the light shone through the glass of room 104; it was the entire range stretched from a certain starting angle to a certain ending angle, depending on the distance and height of the visible window panes!

Carefully dodging a passing mouse, I wondered why Ash hadn't appeared yet. If he didn't show up in this situation, I'd be searching myself to death!

Was he unusually late, or was there a reason for his absence?

As soon as I thought this, I immediately noticed someone following me from "behind"—a place I hadn't paid attention to because I hadn't expected Ash to appear from.

I was being followed!

The other person was some distance away, but I wasn't sure if they were outside my range; I didn't smell the aura of a possessed being. If it were truly a possessed being, they wouldn't be using ranged weapons, otherwise I would have been riddled with holes and my soul scattered.

Thinking this, I broke out in a cold sweat again, but the next instant, I dismissed the idea.

If the other party is a possessed soul, a fight is inevitable anyway, so Ash doesn't need to worry about being seen. The person following me must be a student of Sefer, someone I know, which is why Ash didn't want to show himself, lest the person who chose to silently follow and investigate discover my connection to the "Extreme Sports Club." Dealing with

this situation was simple. I turned a corner and slipped into an alley.

After passing a few houses, I unexpectedly found a building under construction. Steel bars and building materials were piled up all over the open space in front of the door, and illuminated by a single streetlamp, it looked rather eerie. Without thinking, I hid inside.

Lying prone at the roughly rectangular entrance, which had no door and was constructed of cement, about two or three minutes later, a small figure crossed the road in front of the construction site, hands clasped in front of her chest, looking left and right. The streetlamp illuminated her panicked face.

Sama! I didn't expect her to have been following me all along!

However, at the same moment I saw her face clearly, she also turned towards the building under construction, her face showing an expression of wanting to explore, yet hesitant.

Luckily, she's afraid of the dark and ghosts. I thought thankfully.

But the next second, she bravely walked to the bundles of steel bars tied together.

No way? Now it was my turn to look around in panic. But how could there be furniture to hide in an unfinished house?

There were some scattered pieces of wood in the corner, but they were all so broken that they were just thrown there like trash; larger miscellaneous items were piled up at the door, which I could use unless I ran out.

Since it was Sama who was following me, it didn't matter if she saw me wearing a cloak and a vibrator, but if she found out, I would have to break my promise to the paparazzi tonight.

Although doing so might lead to a terrible ordeal, that wasn't the worst part—

my body was gradually getting hot, a declaration of forced transformation!

Since the "fishing plan" was put into action, I've been much more well-behaved during the day. Because I hadn't brought my uniform with me and hadn't planned on transforming myself, a small mishap occurred tonight.

If Sama hadn't come in, fine, but if she had, and found a naked man inside, plotting something, I'd definitely be brewing tea at the police station!

I held my breath, staring at her feet. After moving forward a short distance, she couldn't bring herself to take another step, her courage failing her.

After hesitating for a while, she tried calling my name twice, but received no answer.

She breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly happy that she didn't have to go into the dark building, and quickly left, unaware that I was also letting out a sigh of relief.

When I see Ash later, I'll have to ask him to get me some clothes!

The outside seemed quiet, but there was still some risk. I shook my head, stood up, and saw a rectangular back door, similar to the front door but slightly narrower, intending to leave through there.

But that idea was probably impossible.

Just as I was only three meters away from it, a girl suddenly rushed in.

Upon entering and finding someone there, she opened her mouth as if to speak; then, seeing me completely naked, she almost screamed, but immediately clenched her teeth, pressed her hands tightly to her mouth, and retreated to the right corner.

I, too, immediately covered my genitals, as if to distance myself, and rushed to the left corner to reflect on my

actions. Soon, the two girls' conversation revealed why she hadn't turned and run away.

"Linxi, where's Sister Fenghua..."

"Who knows? She disappeared around here. Maybe she's hiding in the construction site. Shall we go in and look for her?"

"No... It's so dark, Lina'll be scared... Can you ask Rihua and the others to go in and look for her?"

"Didn't you say you were considerate of them working so hard, so you gave them ten days off? Where are we going to look for ghosts now! We'll be faster if we go in ourselves!"

"No... Linxi." Lina's voice trembled with fear. "It's dark and cold here. Sister Fenghua wouldn't like a place like this. Shall we look somewhere else?" "

Is that so? I think there's a good chance she's hiding here."

Although she said that, Linxi finally gave in to her pleas and left with Lina. Only then did I hear Fenghua take a deep breath from the corner of the wall on the right.

"Who are you?"

Hearing her voice, I turned around. To avoid scaring her, I deliberately slowed down, but contrary to my expectations, her fear had subsided.

"I...I'm not a bad person."

"Of course I know. Last time in Central Garden, you were chased by Hiiro and didn't get killed, which means you're not completely irredeemable; on Cool Moon Island, you were paired with Otoyu and claimed to be Xiaocheng's friend...but who exactly are you?" she questioned.

I hadn't expected her to have been "noticing" me all along.

"Well...I'm also a student of Sefer!" I said awkwardly.

At this point, she should be asking me why I'm naked here, or urging me to leave so I can meet up with Ash, right?

"Liar! Although you were wearing Sefer's uniform that day, your name isn't in the student records. Who exactly are you?" she emphasized.

"Perhaps you missed it?" I forced a smile. I hadn't expected her to investigate someone she'd only met twice...Does everyone who gets close to Hiiro have to hand over a background report?

“Student files all have photos on file, don’t try to fool us, just tell us your real identity!

Also, what are you up to by coming on this graduation trip with us?”

“Um… could you please give me a piece of clothing? I’m feeling cold.” I finally couldn’t help but remind her.

“Answer concisely and to the point…” she corrected me in a lecturing tone, but at that moment she finally realized that my appearance was rather “indecent.”

She coughed a few times and finally asked the question I should have asked earlier: “Why are you all alone in this empty room without any clothes on?”

“I was robbed.” I gave a bitter smile. “When I was passing by this area, two thugs dragged me here and robbed me of my belongings. To prevent me from calling the police too soon, they took my phone and stripped me naked.”

“I feel sorry for you.” This heartless woman actually said, “But I also know this is a diversionary tactic… You want to avoid the question and get rid of me before you run away, right?”

"H-How could that be?" I admired her uncanny accuracy in my heart, but stubbornly denied it aloud, saying, "There are always people on the street at this time. How could I dare to go out? Otherwise, I would be sitting in the police station by now."

"I can have the clothes, but answer my question first."

She was truly a nitpicking witch.

"I can answer, but give me the clothes first." I said without backing down.

But a meteor-like flash of iron light made me pounce on her immediately.

"Take your filthy hands off me!" She struggled in my arms until an iron ball shot in from the front door grazed past her eyes and half-embedded in the concrete wall. Her resistance suddenly subsided as if the power had been cut off.

"Who was that? Such a nasty joke!"

"It shouldn't be a joke..." I forced a smile at her, "I've gotten myself into some trouble."

"Was it those thugs from earlier?" she immediately asked.

"Lin, so you're here."

Before I could answer her question, a third voice suddenly came from the empty room.

Feng Hua and I naturally looked towards the front door, where Fu Xiu walked in carrying clothes, his expression as friendly as if I were truly his longtime friend.

"I've brought the clothes you wanted."

"Oh... thank you." I took the clothes from him in surprise, addressing him as "Student Lin," but inwardly I wondered how he found me, and how he knew I urgently needed a set of clothes to cover myself... And was the iron bead attack earlier related to him?

Fu Xiu seemed to sense my doubts and turned to Feng Hua, saying, "Student Feng Hua, Student Lin and I have some personal matters to attend to. Your staying here will only increase the danger. You should leave first! I'll go back with Student Lin in a little while."

Feng Hua looked at the two of us, her suspicions deepening. But having witnessed the sneak attack, she didn't insist I stay and readily let me go.

Being in the same room as Fu Xiu, I couldn't escape, so I nervously put on the clothes, silently counting down the days.

One, two…

“There are seven demons in total.” Fu Xiu calculated instantly, the number was very accurate, “The number of demons surrounding you is increasing every day.”

Could it be that he thought I was the one who caused the rampant demons in the world? Sensing

that he seemed to have the intention of “eliminating the demons by eliminating the king first,” I immediately said, “The number of demons is fixed, they are just attracted by me.” Just as I said this, a sound like firecrackers suddenly rang out in the distance. Firecrackers? No, gunshots? So Ash was being entangled by the decadent man? “When they gather, they will cause trouble.” “You’re right, but it’s also a great opportunity.” Seeing him raise his right hand, I was sweating profusely and said, “This time, for some reason, all the demons have united to deal with me. You can kill me, of course, but once I die, they will all scatter like birds and beasts. Don’t you think that sparing my life is actually a great opportunity to wipe them all out?” Hearing this, he was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his right hand. But it wasn't because of my defense; rather, he noticed a crow perched silently on a telephone pole two hundred meters away, watching our every move. "I won't protect demons," he said to me, "but if you want to delay my attack on you, you'll have to find a way to save your own life." ...Could I take this as a promise to temporarily assist me? I couldn't help but feel a surge of secret delight. At this moment, the possessed beings surrounding the empty house were no longer holding back. A Doberman jumped in through the window, and a little boy in roller skates, holding a gas gun filled with iron pellets, blocked the back door. Others remained hidden. I knew that if I stayed any longer, Fu Xiu couldn't protect me, so I shouted "Take care!" to him and rushed out the front door. Fu Xiu held off the two, while the remaining five chased after me. Seeing that I wanted to go to a crowded, bustling area, they immediately tried to surround me or drive me to a deserted, secluded spot. Was there no other way? On the road leading to the bustling street, a venomous snake lay across the road, and I dared not risk being bitten by stepping over it. But a small knife embedded in the snake's head, pinning its jaws to the ground, gave me courage. The wielder, Fei Yue, leaped from the shadows, her eyes, filled with fighting spirit, fixed on the snake— whose body was still twitching—and the four possessed individuals besides herself. A crow, a giant spider larger than my hand, and a young couple. "You…" "I followed Fu Xiu here. It seems you and he are both involved in the same incident." The situation was urgent, and she interrupted me before I could finish. "This is dangerous…" "Keep running. I'll hold off at least two of them for you. That spider will never risk crawling into crowded areas, and as for that crow, it won't be foolish enough to attack." "Then you…" "I'll explain next time!" She spread her legs, bent slightly, and glanced back at me, her expression completely transformed. "Go!" At her command, my feet instinctively and frantically sprinted forward. The more threatening possessed individuals had been stopped by Fu Xiu and Fei Yue, but I only dared to slow down when I reached the nearby night market. The spider hadn't chased after me, but the crow was still on a nearby telephone pole. It was dark and far away, so I couldn't see if it had an arrow wound on its chest, and it hadn't made a sound tonight, making it difficult to tell. I remembered a strange case abroad where a protected bird was shot through the body with a crossbow by a mischievous student, yet remained unharmed. If the arrow from the Time Mirror only pierced its skin and didn't damage its internal organs, then its current well-being wasn't entirely unreasonable. It's a pity Ashu isn't here; otherwise, I wouldn't need to rack my brains trying to figure this out. I pretended to stroll through the night market, but inside I felt like a bank robber on the run—temporarily safe, yet filled with unease. I was definitely canceling my appointment with the extreme sports club; now my worry was how to get back after my transformation time ended. The crows pose no threat to me for now, but that might change once they revert to their original forms. And who knows how many more will appear after I finish exploring the night market? There are quite a few possessed individuals tonight—seven I already know of, plus the one Ash dealt with, making a total of eight. While numerous, they're likely just the vanguard. The allied forces need time to assemble; it's unlikely they'll attack immediately after Aerion's warning. Speaking of which, who came up with the idea of an "alliance"? Just thinking about it is dangerous. But I do expect that before these possessed individuals can resist the immense benefits, they'll start killing each other. A little analysis reveals the danger of such activity—eliminating me out of hatred for the injustice of the heavens is less effective than destroying the hordes of possessed individuals I see, creating a greater opportunity. The instigator is either an idiot or a schemer with ulterior motives. I walked forward with my head down. Perhaps I was too engrossed in thought, because when I saw Yin You and several friends laughing and talking as they walked towards me, it was too late to avoid them. "Xiao Mo!" She didn't miss my face; surprise flashed across her eyes, and a blush immediately appeared on her face. "Hi..." I greeted her with a smile.

"Excuse me..." Yin You said apologetically to her friend.

Just as she had hoped, without further ado, the other girls also discreetly left first.

The night market was neither too crowded nor too quiet, with a few motorcycles occasionally passing by.

"Shall we find a place to sit?" Yin You said.

Although I was imagining tens of thousands of possessed beings wielding various weapons and trying to ambush me, and wanted to just stand here and chat, a certain part of my nervous system, which had suddenly defected and surrendered to "self-discipline," forced me to nod several times.

"Then let's sit there...?" My hand, which had been pointing to a bench by the roadside, slid towards the park where she was looking, ignoring my brain's commands.

Well... well, you independent, self-disciplined nerve!

"Mm," Yin You replied softly, completely unaware of the complex thoughts swirling in my mind.

Reluctantly walking towards the park, a hundred meters away from the night market, all the unease immediately turned into a chill, making me want to jump into a furnace. If Yinyou and I were to switch genders, unsuspecting people might think some kind of heinous crime was about to occur.

Nobody was there.

That was the first reason I wanted to turn around.

The night market was just a hundred meters away; theoretically, it should be full of couples or families enjoying their food. But I saw nothing, not even the usual chirping of insects in a park.

Walking behind Yinyou on her right, she didn't notice me or anything unusual about the park. I had intended to lead her to the very edge of the park so we could escape in case of danger, but since I wasn't holding her hand, she had already walked deeper into the park.

Damn it! Useless when needed!

I glared at my own hand, feeling an urge to chop it off, but my feet remained firmly on Yinyou's heels, not daring to let her out of my sight.

"Is this okay?" Perhaps noticing I hadn't spoken the whole way, she suddenly stopped and pointed to a decent-looking stone bench, asking.

"Okay."

What else could I say? If I disagreed, she would only lead me further in.

This place wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either; although there were no lights, I could still see the glow of the night market, and the escape route wasn't too narrow, so overall it was acceptable…

no… I overturn that conclusion!

The moment I sat down, I realized I was surrounded.

Had I stepped right into a predator's trap…?

The enemy's presence was faint, but their sheer numbers made my face grow paler with each passing moment. This was bad enough, but a massive army!

Even ants can kill an elephant, so I naturally dared not be careless. In the calm before the storm, I seemed to understand why these possessed beings had agreed to this pointless call for a "suppression team"!

Because they were all too weak to protect themselves, and lacked the power to destroy other possessed beings, they could only unite under a symbolic reason to resist external aggression.

And if any of them harbored ill intentions and wanted to kill their companions, the others could use this as a pretext to join forces and kill those stronger than themselves—openly and with sufficient justification. It was this subtle combination of unity and checks and balances that allowed this seemingly impossible plan to take shape.

The most important point is that the key figures who hold the group together cannot be too easily destroyed; otherwise, a group destined to collapse will be shaky from the start… So that’s it, that’s the reason for using me as bait!

It’s not because I can transform, nor is it related to any conspiracy theories from the heavens; it’s simply because of those paparazzi—with the Extreme Sports Club backing them up, I won’t be so easily killed.

And this also guarantees the stability of the Allied Forces—the weak use me as an excuse to protect themselves, and I use protecting myself as an excuse to let the Extreme Sports Club eliminate the possessed souls.

And the instigator—probably the crow that Ariel mentioned—is standing on the telephone pole, “using someone else to do the dirty work,” reaping the benefits.

How despicable!

Sadly, I am also bound by this conspiracy. My agreement with Fu Xiu makes the gathering of the Allied Forces synonymous with my survival, and also prevents me from exposing the crow’s true intentions.

"Do you have any mosquito repellent or anything? There are a lot of insects around, be careful not to get bitten!" I said casually, hearing the crawling sounds and whispers around me.

"Ah, I just happened to have some." She didn't suspect anything and took a small jar out of her purse.

I smiled as I looked at the instructions on the jar.

Although it was a bit of a shame that there was no lime, I still poured this "camphor oil" around the stone bench, and sure enough, the imposing aura of the possessed spirits immediately spread outwards. It seems that this stuff has a very aggressive smell.

"Xiao Mo?" Yin You was a little confused.

"It's nothing... it's a method from my hometown." I said vaguely, then returned to my seat, trying not to let her notice the situation around me.

"Last time on Xian Yue Island, your concert was very successful, but there was too much time to say goodbye, I hope you didn't take it to heart."

"Were you there that day at the concert...?" Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but her tone was a little confused.

“Well, but I was afraid of affecting your mood, so I sat somewhere else then,” I said. “As expected of a water piano, it made your recital even more perfect.”

“Actually, it wasn’t as good as you said…” Her voice trailed off, tinged with shyness. “If that’s the case, why did you deliberately leave that note…”

“Huh?” I was taken aback. So that was what she really cared about?

She thought I disliked her, so after taking her back to her room, she made up an excuse to leave?

But she thought I hadn’t heard her clearly and hurriedly said, “No, I didn’t say anything.”

“Listen to me, that night…”

“No, I know,” she interrupted my explanation. "I know you meant well. I was so careless back then, I didn't consider what others would think when I invited you into the room. Now, thinking back on that, I... I also..."

She paused, letting her cheeks cool down, before continuing, "If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't have dared to even think about the water piano incident. I... I just want to say... thankfully, I didn't do anything that would make Xiaocheng misunderstand that night... Ah!"

As she exclaimed, my eyes were fixed on the beetle flying past at high speed. The palm-sized creature flapped its wings, using its hard horn as a knight's lance, as if it wanted to gouge out one of my eyes for dinner, but thankfully I dodged it.

But when I looked down, I saw Yin You lying back on the chair in my arms, her face flushed, her clothes slightly disheveled.

"I... I'm sorry!" I immediately jumped back, placing my hands in surrender across my chest, my shock no less than hers.

Good heavens, this behavior already counts as "pounce"!

"How dare you lay a hand on my roommate! You monstrous monster who deserves to be struck down by heaven!"

As the furious accusation was proclaimed, I was reduced to dust by the rapidly falling baseball bat…

If my beautiful landlady found out, this would definitely be my fate!

"I… I accidentally slipped," I said belatedly.

"I won't overthink things…" she said, pulling at her clothes and smiling gently.

Seeing that she wasn't upset, I sat back down with relief. So, it seems I was the one overthinking things?

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

"No." She gently shook her head and said, "You didn't do this on purpose. I know you actually like Xiao..."

"Don't joke around!"

I pulled Yin You forward, and with my left hand, I slashed hard at the back of the second beetle that had rushed past her neck. Watching the beetle fall to the muddy ground, its six legs twitching slightly, I cursed it inwardly, thinking it deserved its fate.

Damn it, can't you even tell if it's a possessed being or not?

One died, but it was just a drop in the ocean. However, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was still somewhat useful. In the face of fear of death, the position of the third attacker was not filled for a long time. And this gap lasted for a whole minute, during which no other insects attacked.

It was during this gap that I had a chance to catch my breath. But when I turned my attention back to Yin You...

I saw her cheeks flushed red as she leaned against my chest, at a loss. A few strands of hair fell onto my arm, and even the fragrance was so unsettling.

"I'm...sorry, I was too impulsive..." After helping her straighten up, I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to say.

Considering what I'd said before, did she think I was a heartless man who'd used her and then immediately confessed his feelings?

"I...I want to go back..." she said shyly and fearfully.

"Then...it's so late, I'll take you home." I tried my best to keep my voice steady, but inwardly I was screaming.

God, this was all a misunderstanding!

At this point, if the Sefer Academy had a ranking system for perverts, I was almost certain I was on it.

"Hmm..." She asked me to help her up, but didn't dare look me in the eye.

As soon as she stood up, she immediately pulled her hand away.

The fait accompli of being a "pervert" stung me even more.

"Let's go!" I forced a smile and said to her. Before leaving, I quickly glanced around.

Hearing our conversation, the Soul Possessions also made their plans. The camphor smell had been largely diluted by the evening breeze, and a swarm of insects, large and small, and even a few plants had already gathered outside the circle.

Although the reptiles, unable to bear the smell, dared not cross the circle yet, even if the camphor circle's effects were limitless, I didn't want to stand hand-in-hand with Yin You by the stone bench all night in the wind.

"Ah!"

Yin You noticed too, and I immediately picked her up horizontally, ignoring her scream, and rushed towards the park exit before the possessed one could act—

Chapter 3 of Episode 7 ,

the first step of the park army felt absolutely terrible!

"Plop!" A few times, I felt a few drops of slightly warm, cool liquid on my calves.

For some reason, this scene reminded me of the terrifying cockroaches in the four-leaf clover. Just thinking about that image made me want to vomit.

But I endured it, and amidst the biting of several insects and the scraping sensation of the leaves, I painfully stepped out with my second step.

I dared not look down; it would surely be a sticky mess, a mixture of foul-smelling bodily fluids, thorny severed limbs, and fragments of body and wings. Just thinking about it made me faint.

Yin You had already fainted; I had to stand on my own two feet. Although she would be unharmed without me, I didn't want this disgusting scene to become a nightmare that haunted her for the rest of her life.

Okay, I admit that reason was too noble and hypocritical. Actually, I just didn't want to die, didn't want to lose this war.

Who started it or led it was no longer important; what mattered was that I had to return to the Celestial Realm! And that was what every possessed soul truly valued.

The enemy had already laid their traps. While Yin You and I were chatting and isolating them from our designated area, they weren't idle either, drinking and playing cards. After running a few steps, my right foot snagged on a grass ring, and I immediately lost my balance.

But I didn't fall—I had anticipated this move, so I had been extra careful the whole way.

Just as I leaned forward, I stepped down with my left foot and kicked forward with my right. "Snap!" A blade of grass snapped, and a weed flew forward, landing in the drainage ditch whose cover had long been dug up by those desperate for money.

The trap wasn't that simple, I knew.

Sure enough, less than twenty seconds later I crashed into a sticky web, and dozens of spiders immediately clung to the broken silk, attacking me with a frenzy of bites.

"Listen up, this girl is human! Nobody touches her!" I felt stings on my neck and arms; these eight-legged soldiers were definitely venomous. I didn't have a spare hand to swat these little creatures away, so I could only verbally warn them to stay put.

Anyway, I was an inanimate object; even if I were injected with more venom, my functions wouldn't be paralyzed or necrotic.

They understood me and reacted.

"Deal with that girl, just don't kill her!" a rhinoceros beetle yelled.

...Damn it!

I took a deep breath, blowing away a poisonous spider that had crawled onto Yin You's face. I angrily stomped on the insect army on the ground, hoping the mass death would instill fear in them, but they darted away with incredible speed.

Knowing I couldn't retaliate, the flying beetles swarmed my head like cannonballs, while the ants marching on the ground bit down hard on my flesh.

Leaves were the sharpest weapons of plants; their edges slashed back and forth, turning minor wounds into severe ones. The thorns and roses were the most troublesome; their thorny stems were like merciless whips studded with sharp nails, each strike causing excruciating pain.

I tried my best to dodge their meteor-like attacks, but this left me no time to avoid the attacks of other possessed creatures. My legs were gradually becoming numb and aching from the ant bites, and the spider venom was gradually relaxing the muscles around the bites.

Several moths constantly disrupted my vision, making the beetle attacks more precise, especially an explosion from my left temple, which almost made me lose myself in the dark space opened up by pain.

Damn it!

Being alone against a group is far too disadvantageous; I must leave this place as soon as possible.

I struggled forward, but the obstruction of several bees and thorns, along with the deliberately opened gaps, forced me to change direction and move deeper into the park they had planned.

This was only pushing me further into the embrace of death! I knew

this in my heart, but I was helpless. Forcing my way out wasn't impossible, but the whips lashing through the air could injure Yin You's hands, feet, or face.

I had already entered their nest, so leaving wouldn't be so easy. This surreal scene couldn't be shown to anyone, and I saw several ferocious stray dogs patrolling near the park.

So that's why the park was so quiet!

Looking up at the moon, sharp as a scythe, I wondered if the paparazzi and the others were still waiting for me at the hotel? I wondered if Ash had gone back to report?

Fu Xiu should be fine; the possessed souls he stopped wouldn't escape so easily.

As for Fei Yue, she's unclear about the "Soul War" and probably won't ruthlessly kill the possessed souls. It all depends on whether those souls are willing to fight.

The crow that Ariel mentioned is still coldly watching everything from the telephone pole; its feathers, combined with the color of the sky, aren't even half as black as my mood.

If I had fire, we wouldn't be so hopeless… But oh well, even if we can't kill all the possessed souls, they won't have it too easy. Taking half of them down with them shouldn't be too bad…

I glanced back at that group with heightened self-awareness, intending to say something divisive—

In ancient times, during headhunting battles, although each soldier was an independent individual, they were forcibly conscripted by the state. Would sowing discord even work against these volunteers?

In truth, everyone harbored some doubts or fears, yet no one turned back to run. Perhaps those who did were the true "food" of this group. From the moment they joined, each possessed individual might have been waiting to ambush and kill a traitor.

Finally, I reached the center of the park. A typical classroom clock, set in a simple stone sculpture, ticked away. I glanced at it; half an hour remained before transformation. That was enough.

"Today you can finish me off here," I said, sitting on the low iron railings surrounding the almost artless sculpture, reaching only to the waist of a kindergarten student, addressing the army and air force that surrounded me.

"But after killing me, what will your next target be?"

At this moment, the insects remained silent.

"I think your leaders must say that the reason for attacking me is that I'm colluding with the Celestials... As you can see, I'm cornered. I just want to ask, after I die, what meaning will you have?"

Yes, what meaning? It

's not just a rhetorical question, it's what I want to know. I don't know if the crows heard my doubts, but the brainwashing process seemed like a perfect education. They just listened, without asking or answering.

"After I cease to exist, you only have two paths. One is to disband, and the other is to find another person like me."

I ignored the changes around me and continued to deduce the ideas I had come to understand.

"The problem is, no matter what you choose, it will only make you contradict yourselves."

The crows just wanted a "beacon" that wouldn't fall easily, but this time it was an accident. I walked into this park myself, and although I could have found out and escaped in time, I cut off my own path to survival because Yin You was there.

I think its initial idea was to use my advantages to destroy the Allied Forces, but after I fell, it would inevitably have to find another target and divert the morale of its troops. If the allied forces are allowed to disintegrate, it's hard to guarantee that these possessed individuals won't transfer their resentment to it. What it needs is a safe haven from a third party, not indiscriminate attacks from a scattered mob.

But now, even if there were another person in the world in a similar situation, it's probably too late to find them. It can neither stop the allied forces from attacking me, nor can it simply find a strong person like Zhengxu or the decadent man to replace them.

Because doing so would greatly violate the purpose of forming an army, exposing that the selection of "Beacon" was just a pretext—a group of weaklings using a facade as the meaning of their "existence," hunting large prey everywhere.

The consequences of doing so are foreseeable. Like Zhengxu's wolf brother, possessed individuals with above-average abilities, or those assisted by humans, might also adopt an alliance policy and turn against this group of weaklings. Moreover, in terms of the benefits of "chance of victory" and "number of possessed individuals lost," everything is satisfactory.

Therefore, my conclusion is that the crow will not allow me to suffer a crushing defeat, but it also cannot stop the allied forces.

In other words, it is now in a dilemma.

Although I can see that this is not the entirety of the allied forces (the variety cannot be so small), and the crow still retains some strength, I still hope to use words to restrain these possessed beings, to buy it some time, and see what kind of response it will get.

The black bird's surface is calm, its dark eyes, moistened by the moonlight, reflect a cold and hard emotion, as if the time I spend speculating and hinting is just a pointless and superfluous act.

The next moment, it spreads its wings and leaps into the sky. A few discarded black feathers swirl and fall in the airflow generated by the takeoff. The black figure moves away in the direction opposite to me.

"Rustle!"

I look down and see hundreds of insects have scattered without complaint, some flying, some running, some burrowing. And the plants have also hidden themselves on the spot or far away.

What's going on?

I have no idea. However, it seems I've escaped this ordeal, albeit inexplicably!

Using a round stone basin near the sculpture as a water feature, I washed my sticky feet and patted Yin You's cheeks, but she still didn't seem to wake up.

This is terrible! I looked at my tattered clothes… Sending her back like this is absolutely out of the question; rumors will spread like wildfire, and humans are surprisingly fond of gossip!

"The park is so quiet." A voice broke the silence.

Realizing I couldn't leave her here, I picked her up, only to see Ryua standing behind me with a capsule-shaped plastic box about 30 centimeters long.

"Ryua… uh, you're her roommate, right?" Suddenly realizing I shouldn't "know her," I quickly changed my words.

"Rape?" Her unusually direct question almost made me faint.

"N-no…"

"Could it be… Yin You was too rough?"

"No…"

I wondered if she was deliberately teasing me? I couldn't read that on her face; I hoped she was just playing a prank.

"What's your name?" she suddenly asked.

"Xiao...Xiao Mo," I answered timidly.

I hoped that one of Yin You, Yotsuba, Fuuka, or Fei Yue had mentioned my name to her.

"Oh," she said, giving me my first affirmation of the night, which instantly put my mind at ease. Then, looking around, she asked, "Weren't there any insects tonight?"

"They all...ran away." So she came to collect materials?

"Oh." She didn't seem to care much about the lack of insects.

She came over and checked Yin You, and I immediately smelled disinfectant on her.

After confirming that there were no strange "marks" on Yin You, she thoughtfully pulled a grayish-white thread tangled with dust from my hair and asked suspiciously, "Spider silk?"

"I got it at the park entrance," I lied.

She didn't ask anything more, picked up Qing Kong's suitcase, and said, "I'll go back with you!"

I nodded happily.

Back at the guesthouse, of course, there was a lot of commotion. Although Yin You's clothes were intact, I was as ragged as a beggar.

Feng Hua, who had long suspected me, grabbed my collar in anger and demanded, "Tell me! What did you do to Yin You!"

Si Ye chimed in, "Xiao Mo isn't that kind of person."

Luckily, Sha Zhen and the pretty landlady weren't there, or they would have gone crazy upon hearing that name…

Liu Ya didn't explain anything for me, because she wasn't present during the incident, only witnessed it briefly .

"Don't ask anymore," Fei Yue said, having roughly guessed what had happened.

Having finally managed to wake Yin You, the witness who had cleared my name, Feng Hua immediately guided her to recount what had occurred.

"I think… I saw a lot of insects?" she mumbled. The pungent odor Liu Ya had her smell seemed to have made her somewhat delirious.

"You had a nightmare," I interjected, and Feng Hua immediately glared at me.

"It's okay, think carefully, did anything scary happen just now?"

"The plants were moving… the wind was so strong?" The babbling made Feng Hua shake her head.

"What I mean is, did this person do anything inappropriate to you?" Feng Hua pushed me in front of Yin You, getting straight to the point.

“…Xiao Mo?” Yin You looked at me, her face unconsciously flushing red again.

Seeing this, Feng Hua immediately said angrily, "So something really happened! You damned..."

"No, Feng Hua, there's nothing between him and me," Yin You said at the right moment, but I had already been punched a few times by Feng Hua.

"That's good." Although Yin You said that, Feng Hua still seemed to be somewhat hostile towards me.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, she had no more interest in talking and kicked me out without letting me stay for even a second longer.

What bad luck! I thought to myself.

But I really couldn't stay inside for too long, lest I miss my transformation time... Well, being kicked out is better.

I decided to go back to the construction site first. I still had the dwarf's cloak in the empty room. If I was lucky, I might still see Ash. If not, I would wander around the area where I could see the window of room 104. He would definitely be nearby. After a

night of bad luck, I finally had some good luck. Ash seemed to know I would come back and was indeed waiting in the empty room. I inquired about his situation, and the gunshot was indeed the work of the decadent man. Ash was quite formidable, his attacks were all aimed at that gun.

The gun was made of metal, so it couldn't be dismantled by throwing weapons alone, but the possessed soul could sense it. Despite the gunshot masking the sound, Ash clearly heard its low voice.

As for the outcome of the battle, it was a draw.

Ash had no intention of hurting anyone, and when the decadent man couldn't win and tried to run away, Ash let him go.

Sigh! Like Zheng Xu, the decadent man was a typical "come back tomorrow" regular customer; it was useless not to defeat them all at once... Oh well, as long as the paparazzi and the others don't mind the trouble!

Before taking me back, Ash took me to the extreme sports club.

I was prepared to be scolded mercilessly, but to my surprise, the paparazzi and the others weren't angry. However, since they hadn't seen me tonight, they sent Soren and Far out to try their luck—they heard the fish were bad, but the shrimp were doing well.

With a bottle of quick-acting insecticide, a small gas canister, and a lighter, they held a rather smoky barbecue party shortly after I left the park.

The cause, of course, was traceable; it was just that the park dog barked at the wrong person, but those possessed souls will probably never know…

“Swallow this.” At that moment, the paparazzi handed me a transmitter the size of a mung bean.

“To prevent Ash from being entangled by the enemy again, next time if you don’t come on time, we’ll assume something’s wrong and go to rescue you according to the tracker’s direction.”

Although I didn’t like the feeling of being tracked, it was undeniably better to have them around today. So I opened my mouth and swallowed the transmitter like medicine.

“The battery only lasts for twenty-four hours. I’ll give you a new one before each time I take you back,” the paparazzi said.

After explaining, he had Ash take me back to the guesthouse.

Children’s laughter.

Pure white doves, colorful balloons, scattering colorful paper scraps, sweet and cool ice cream.

I jumped off the luggage cart, discreetly avoiding the gaze of passersby. Wearing clothes I'd borrowed from who-knows-who, I casually followed behind the students, blending into the general crowd. The words "

Dana Wonderland Amusement Park

" immediately caught my eye, and I looked away, as if unpleasant memories of the past were flooding back. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of places like this, even though it was really nice. "

The amusement park's specialty is people, and among these people, there must be a few who know or don't know they're possessed by spirit mediums. Besides these people, there are definitely many other spirit mediums scattered throughout the area. Your job is to find them one by one and then hand them over to us to deal with." This

completely unverified deduction was presented with absolute certainty by the paparazzi. If the sun listened to his unwavering pronouncements, it would surely start rising in the west and setting in the east tomorrow.

I had no right to refuse, because this was a pre-arranged task—it was just moved from 8 PM to 10 AM.

And because of the change in time, Ashu couldn't come to pick me up. Fortunately, after roll call this morning, the students from Sefer will be moving to a new hotel, so the luggage carts will follow the tour bus throughout the day.

When Sama asked me to come along this morning, I made an excuse that I wanted to rest. She seemed to think I was still wary of being robbed at the amusement park last time, so she didn't insist.

Of course, success isn't just about that—if it weren't for the students having so much luggage that the tour bus couldn't fit everyone and had to hire several more luggage carts, I wouldn't have been able to transform inside the tour bus and

rummage through the pile of luggage for usable clothes. Anyway, I straightened my collar and saw the Extreme Sports Club near the entrance. I walked over, pretending to be just a random passerby behind them, and since the paparazzi had bought a group ticket for fourteen people, I followed them in.

As soon as we entered the amusement park, the Extreme Sports Club members abandoned me and went off to have fun without even looking back.

I held the small black button that the paparazzi had given me before leaving and put it in my khaki pocket.

“This can be used to change the transmitter’s frequency. Once pressed, my tracker and everyone else’s handsets will be interfered with, emitting a special beeping sound for thirty seconds. Use it when you find a possessed person, and we’ll get there as soon as possible,” the paparazzi said with his back to me while we were queuing at the ticket booth.

Once inside the amusement park, I had to separate from them to avoid being noticed by anyone with ulterior motives.

Okay, sixty minutes, the mission begins!

First, I opened the amusement park map to plan my route for the entire hour.

The amusement park, named “Dana Wonderland,” is divided into three areas.

The first area is the amusement area, occupying almost half of the park’s area. This is because it’s the main part of the amusement park, and the large rides take up a lot of space.

The second area is the cultural area, located above the amusement area. It has many interesting exhibition halls, cartoon screening rooms, 3D theaters, live shows like Superman Team, and impromptu performances by street performers.

The third area is the food area, located between the first and second areas, with restaurants from various countries, snacks, and a gift shop selling souvenirs.

It's impossible to cover all three zones in an hour... no, even two zones would be a stretch. The extreme sports club and most of the students from the Saifeier area are in the amusement park, which is both good and bad, so I'll just run through zones two and three!

After deciding, I closed the map.

Before reaching the cultural area, I'll pass through a rest area, so I'll start there.

Forget about the fancy restaurants! Although I have some money "borrowed" from the owner of the clothes, it's not enough for a luxurious meal, and there are many surveillance cameras there; even if there's a possessed person inside, they'll chase after me.

I'll start with the food stalls; it's not illegal to walk past vendors without buying anything. After browsing through all the stalls without finding anything, I started looking in the souvenir shops one by one.

"Welcome." The voice automatically sounded as the automatic door opened.

Stepping onto the red mat with the same words printed on it, the cute shop assistant behind the counter repeated the welcome.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

I politely declined her offer and wandered around the shop at my own pace. The shop is filled with wooden dolls, ornaments, pen holders, and picture frames that smell of sandalwood, as well as many other small items. They're all very stylish, but a bit pricey.

That's about it for the play area.

Seven shelves lined the small shop. I scanned them row by row, not with my eyes, but with my senses, trying to detect the scent of possessed individuals. Undeniably, the sandalwood scent was somewhat of a distraction, making the scent of weak possessed individuals even fainter. I had to close my eyes and focus even more intently on each shelf… each item on display…

until someone grabbed me from behind.

“Sir.”

Had I broken something?

Startled, I turned around immediately, only to see Feng Hua with a tense expression, carrying a basket piled high with items.

“A souvenir shop is for buying things, not for you to walk around blindfolded, is it?”

“Ah, sorry.” I quickly apologized, feeling a little embarrassed, and tried to leave.

During my search, the shop didn't seem suspicious; I figured I didn't need to look at the rest.

“Who said you could leave?” she raised an eyebrow. “Don't forget you still owe me an explanation.”

“I already said, I really didn't do anything to Yin You last night…”

“Not that.” She took the basket to the counter to pay, and I obediently followed.

“Card or cash?” the clerk asked.

"Swipe the card." Feng Hua took out her platinum card and handed it to her, signing the bill.

After completing the transaction, she walked out of the souvenir shop and turned to me, who had inexplicably become a porter, saying, "Don't forget you're someone of unknown identity."

Yes, I understood.

"What was your purpose in pretending to be a student of Saifeier? Why did you contact Yin You, Si Ye, and Fei Yue? Who sent you?" she asked in rapid succession.

"It was an accident..." That's right, it was all an accident.

"Don't try to evade the question!"

No normal person would accept this answer, but what I said was the truth, everything was an accident...

"You're in cahoots with that guy Fu Xiu, aren't you, 'Lin Tongxue'?" Her tone was somewhat sarcastic, she must have already discovered that that wasn't my real surname, right?

"That's right, my surname isn't Lin, and you're right too, I'm not a student of Saifeier." I admitted.

"So what are you going to do now that you've been exposed?" she sneered.

“I haven’t thought of anything yet.”

“I’d like to know, are you here to seduce? To swindle? Or both?”

“I’d also like to know why you’re buying souvenirs before even starting to play?”

“Changing the subject won’t help you avoid the questions you should answer.”

“This isn’t an interrogation.” I shrugged. In that sense, I had no obligation to answer her questions.

She remained silent.

“Here, take it back.” I took her right hand and handed the gift bag back to her.

“Where do you want to go?” Her expression changed.

I pointed to the second Western-style souvenir shop: “To go inside and enjoy the air conditioning.”

“Want to walk in an S-shape again?”

“That’s a matter of personal preference.” I ignored her, letting her imagine.

Stepping into the shop, the temperature, so different from outside, was pleasant. The saleswoman was also a pretty woman, smiling and welcoming me.

“I can look around by myself.” I said to her.

She smiled, replied okay, and then went back to weaving her unfinished craft.

The goods on the wooden shelves were mostly made of leather, but there wasn't a strong, pungent smell, quite the opposite of the goods' strong self-assertion. I casually touched them, and when I turned around, I saw Fenghua carrying another basket, picking and choosing.

"Didn't you just buy a bunch of things at the shop next door?" Judging by this, I wouldn't be able to shake her off except to go to the restroom.

"Are they selling the same things?" She rolled her eyes at me. "Or are you worried I can't afford it?"

Yes, you have money, buying as much as you want is no problem.

"I just heard Feiyue say you have a talent for managing money, so I thought you were a frugal person."

"It's the big money that matters." She brushed aside my teasing with a sentence, and put a leather gun holster in the plastic basket.

"That's right, otherwise it would be too stingy."

I nodded, but secretly chuckled as I saw Linxi and Lina—the twins who always wore Western dresses and carried parasols—passing by outside the shop window.

I see.

I didn't call her out on it. She was shopping, hiding, and monitoring me all at the same time, which didn't bother me as long as it didn't interfere with my mission.

I searched around the shops but still found nothing, so I went to the third one. Seeing this, she immediately paid and followed behind me with a "let's see what tricks you're up to" look on her face.

I walked around for about ten minutes and reached the boundary between the food and cultural areas. At this point, she stopped me and said, "Your shopping is completely illogical."

"Then what would be considered illogical?" I asked, not very seriously.

On the surface, I was indeed browsing souvenir shops, but I could tell from the outside whether there were any "possessed" people in some of the smaller shops. She saw that sometimes I would just walk straight past the shop entrance, and sometimes I would go in and rummage around for a long time. Plus, I wasn't going from shop to shop in order, but rather searching suspicious places first. No wonder she didn't understand what I was "doing."

"At least don't be so abnormal," she said.

The gift bags that Feng Hua was carrying had multiplied into several, and she was a little out of breath from carrying them all the way. "

Since it's heavy, why buy so many? How many relatives and friends does she have to give them to?

" I reached out, wanting to take a few paper bags from her.

"No need!"

Perhaps she was still angry when I returned the bags to her earlier; now she forcefully pulled her hand away, refusing my help.

My hand was still gripping the bag drawstring, and with her tug, I stumbled forward.

In that one step, a throwing knife narrowly grazed the back of my head, "clang!" and embedded itself in the outer wall of the souvenir shop, its gleaming silver blade still trembling.

"Who is it?" I shouted immediately, but only caught a glimpse of a hand retreating behind a building a short distance away.

The tourists were all busy shopping, eating, and chatting; no one noticed the small throwing knife.

I immediately pulled the stunned Feng Hua to the back of the souvenir shop, a blind spot for her.

"Who did you mess with? Why are there people everywhere trying to kill you!" Her chest heaved rapidly.

"Just... one organization, a few individual investors..." I said helplessly, "Since you know that person is after me, you'd better leave quickly! Otherwise, if you get disfigured, don't blame me for it!"

"Dream on." She sneered, suddenly shoving a dozen bags of stuff into my hands, "I'll definitely expose your mask today!"

Hey... you want me to carry so much stuff just to escape? Do you really want me to die?

"Don't insist, I really won't be able to take care of you later!"

Did she think this was acting, or some kind of cartoon character who couldn't be killed no matter what?

"Anyway, the person they're after isn't me." She said indifferently.

The most poisonous heart is a woman's...

“I said…” She looked at me like I was an idiot, “You’re about to be killed, why aren’t you running?”

What were you planning to do, making me carry all that stuff…?

“I’m waiting for an opening,” I said with a wry smile. These souvenirs were quite heavy.

“Don’t wait until you reach the cliff edge…” she said.

Suddenly, there was another strange friction in the air, and I immediately bent forward. A second throwing knife flashed past and landed right next to her left ear, her face turning pale instantly.

I immediately sprinted towards the cultural area.

Feng Hua still followed behind me relentlessly, her face ashen.

If it weren’t for the possibility of inheriting the family business after graduation, her fearless pursuit of the truth would really have made her a good candidate for journalism—although I don’t have a good impression of journalists.

“Don’t swing that bag around, you’ll have to pay for the damaged gifts.” Without the burden of the heavy bags, she quickly caught up with me, her body and steps light.

“If I die, you won’t get any information.”

I really should have let go of these burdens.

"Of course, it's the same if you die," I added.

We're running for our lives right now, who cares about anything else? She just said she wouldn't care about small sums, looks like she was really messing with me!

"Of course I know, look, I'm calling for help, aren't I?" She took out her phone, pressed a few buttons, and dialed.

"Feiyue, come quick! I've been attacked in the cultural district, my life is in danger! The attackers are vicious people using throwing knives, all weapons except guns are at your disposal!" she quickly gave instructions.

"Okay!" Hanging up, her expression returned to calm: "Now we just need to wait for rescue."

If that were the case, I'd rather have a hand to press the SOS button in my pocket and call the paparazzi to rescue me…

But then I thought, the extreme sports club and they have a terrible relationship, if the two groups meet, they'll probably start fighting without thinking, and things will only escalate.

Since she called Fei Yue first, fine. Otherwise, even if she could fool me about my relationship with the paparazzi, how would I imply which part of the throwing knife was possessed by the soul-possessed person?

Speaking of which, I haven't sensed any of my kind's presence yet. Is the other person too far away?

"Over there!" Feng Hua pointed to the exhibition hall ahead.

A signboard with a monster's face grinning with jagged, ugly teeth hung from the roof. The slightly worn, solid wood exterior gave a comfortable feeling, but the two glass doors were tightly closed, with a red sign that read, "The Alien Creatures Hall is under maintenance. Non-staff members are not allowed to enter." In

front of the door, besides a red and white iron frame that read "Do Not Enter," a yellow banner that read "Under Construction" was also strung up, forming a semi-circle.

"No way." I immediately shook my head.

All the other exhibition halls were occupied, only this one was closed for repairs. I desperately wanted to lure the other person to a crowded place to restrain him. If the location of the attack wasn't so close to the cultural area, I would have already run towards the amusement area.

"Wouldn't you feel guilty if you accidentally hurt an innocent person?"

"No." Seeing her glare at me, I immediately explained, "What I mean is, he wants to kill me, he won't target anyone else."

"Does the throwing knife have eyes? Didn't it almost hit me just now? Can you guarantee there won't be any accidents?" she pressed.

That's because you were too close to me.

"This… I dare not." I admit the Heavenly Laws can't restrain that murderer.

"That's it then." She ran towards him, grabbing my sleeve to prevent my escape.

This female tyrant!
