It was already deep into the night, and the faint chill of autumn gathered from all directions. In the distant streets, only the dim street lights flickered. Intermittent music mixed with some other indistinct sounds drifted in the night wind, and when it reached my ears, it was only a few short, hallucinatory syllables. In this old district far from the city center, time seemed to have forgotten the flow of time. Everywhere was filled with the silence and coldness of twenty or thirty years ago.
The sky near the city wasn't pure. Even though it was nearing midnight, under the illumination of the never-ending city lights, there were still only a few cold stars twinkling in the dark sky like innocent passersby. Even the moon, which wasn't quite full, seemed to be covered in dust.
And under this kind of night, two black figures were nimbly approaching the dilapidated walls of the school.
"I didn't think that you would take the initiative to ask to come with me."
Standing outside the tall walls surrounded by barbed wire, I stretched my wrists and ankles as I spoke to the small figure beside me. The latter shrugged like an adult and replied, "It's mainly because it's too pitiful for you to come out alone, so I can only reluctantly accompany the strange uncle …"
This fake loli … really knew how to accurately target the weak points with her words and incite the greatest anger in others.
Our investigation during the day didn't yield much. Most of the information we heard from Liu Fan was actually facts that we had already obtained through the investigation team. The operation in the afternoon was actually only for the purpose of "confirming the situation with the client face-to-face". In order to truly investigate the situation, we still had to personally go out.
Yep, to be honest, sending a few commanders or high-level special agents should be enough to solve the problem. But to be honest, this school's supernatural incident really made me curious. I felt like it would be a great loss if I didn't get involved in such an interesting matter. Speaking of which, could it be that I was infected by that troublesome amalgamation of Lin Xue and there was some incurable disease? No matter how I looked at it, this kind of dangerous mentality of looking for trouble shouldn't belong to a dead-set otaku who was just waiting to die …
Beside me, Liliana suddenly muttered, "I feel like your brain is spinning something that is even more dangerous than a virus. It's filled with a depraved aura. If you get close to it, you'll be rotted into a pile of walking corpses that are gradually growing hair …"
Speaking of which, psychology shouldn't research something as advanced as mind-reading, right?
Damn, this place is really barren, right?
I looked around at the dark shadows of the buildings and the sparse lights in the darkness, and sighed in my heart.
Originally, Qian Qian and her elder sister were also very excited about the idea of exploring the campus at midnight. However, the two girls were very disciplined people. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would definitely yawn endlessly after 10 pm. Furthermore, the younger ones were also strictly ordered by her elder sister to be in bed before 10 pm. Even the most valiant iceberg Pandora could only obey unconditionally. In the end, due to various reasons, only the hot-blooded Qian Qian and a certain fake loli who happened to exploit the loophole of her elder sister's system were left to search for ghosts at midnight.
The sound of wings sounded in the sky. I looked. I raised my head and I. was. and I.
Yep, there was also a certain ghost.
It was truly difficult to get Anveena to leave her house. Perhaps it had something to do with her memories of her death. This obedient but occasionally stubborn ghost had a tremendous fear of things "outside of her house." Every time I tried to get her to leave her house, she would cling to the door frame and cry her heart out. Up until now, the only result we had was to get Anveena to leave her house in the form of a crow in the middle of the night when no one was around … and that was under the condition that she was by my side.
"Ah …" Liliana suddenly opened her mouth and yawned loudly. She then rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm a little sleepy. Let's quickly end this so that we can go back. Children should have enough sleep."
"I don't know who was the one who kept begging to follow me, and even used the invincible reason of 'a loli with the heart of an adult isn't a loli' to argue with Big Sister for a long time.
"As a qualified person who came back from another world, you must always keep in mind the principle of doing everything possible to obtain the greatest benefit for yourself … Ah, it hurts!"
Liliana rubbed the corner of her eyes and said such immoral words without any shame. I then accurately KO-ed her with a karate chop.
"I haven't said anything yet. Why are you so determined to follow me this time?"
This was something I couldn't figure out no matter how much I thought about it. Although Lina claimed that she wanted to join the most powerful group of abnormal humans in history (this title should be ignored …), the truth was that she never had the self-awareness of an employee. Today, she took the initiative to follow me out to investigate the situation. This was far too unusual.
Facing my question, Liliana was silent for a moment. Then, she suddenly shrugged and said in a calm tone, "I went to school here."
I immediately felt awkward.
Liliana's memories of her past life had basically become a tacit taboo.
"… Ah, you went to high school here. I didn't expect that a genius psychology graduate student would have a grey high school life … Ah … Haha …"
"This method of diverting my attention really suits your idiotic personality. But … thank you."
"Flap flap flap …"
The sound of flapping wings came from above us. Then, a large black crow landed lightly on my shoulder. Its sharp beak extended to my ear and an ethereal and soft voice of a young girl came out, "Master, you can go in now."
"Let's get to work. Liliana, be careful. This isn't a joke."
"I know —" The little girl dragged out her voice. Then, a few light blue runes suddenly flashed under her feet. Following the release of anti-gravity magic, Liliana nimbly leaped onto the three-meter high wall. "No matter what, I am a priestess who was personally blessed by the Gods. Moreover, after such a long time, I am more or less familiar with this body that contains the power of the Gods. I can still release a little bit of magic … Wah!"
Could you please not fall back so cleanly after saying those words with such confidence?
I looked at Lina, who had just jumped onto the wall and landed next to my feet. Her eyes were filled with mosquito coils. I felt cold sweat on my forehead.
"En, first is the laboratory building!"
With a whoosh, Liliana who was lying on the ground like a corpse jumped up without any warning. She pointed her finger forward and announced in high spirits.
Hey hey hey! Speaking of which, your recovery speed is too fast! You should at least give me a normal recovery process after falling from a three-meter high wall! Also, the direction of your finger should be wrong, right? Speaking of which, you fell back outside and not inside the wall!
Thirty minutes later, after experiencing getting lost, getting lost, getting lost, getting lost, and getting lost, we finally arrived at the laboratory building that we had missed four times in a row. Looking at the three large words "Laboratory Building" that was illuminated by a beam of light in the darkness, tears streamed down the faces of the two people with no sense of direction.
Speaking of which, the crow Anveena who acted as a scout was completely useless!
"I'm sorry master." A certain spirit lied on my shoulder and apologized sincerely, "The view from the sky is different from below, I didn't see these three big words …"
"Looks like there's nothing unusual."
Liliana jogged to the outer wall of the laboratory building and jumped to observe the movement on the other side of the window while muttering to herself.
"Boss reporting! The corridor is very quiet, there are no lights and there are no spirits. "
The little girl jumped for a long time in front of the window, then ran in front of me and reported softly.
Please don't really think of yourself as a child, you're almost a size older than me!
"Anveena, go up and take a look."
I lifted my shoulder and the crow version of the spirit maid immediately flew up into the sky — — Then, she hit a street lamp and fell crookedly.
After jumping on the ground twice, Anveena shook her head, looked at the direction again and flew into the air.
"Master, this is what I saw."
Anveena's voice resounded in my mind, then a tighter mental connection was established instantly. My left eye reflected the unique perspective of a crow.
"Anveena, can I trouble you to stop hovering?"
The bird's perspective is really strange, after just a short while, I was already dizzy.
"It does look quite normal," I shared Anveena's perspective, "Other than the fact that it's darker than a normal school, Anveena, fly higher."
The vertical field of view in my eyes rose again and more information flowed into my mind through my left eye. Then, I finally found something.
"Anveena, descend — — to the left, do you see it?"
"I see it, master, it's a figure, it looks like it's looking for something on the pile of rubbish."
"Maintain invisibility in the sky, Liliana and I will go take a look."
After receiving my order, Anveena immediately turned into an invisible spirit state, while Liliana and I immediately ran towards the large waste site between the laboratory building and the dormitory.
