The class leader still didn't come to class the next day, but I heard her flu was getting better and she would be back to normal by tomorrow.
I was holding the strange address Zhuang Ni gave me and I wasn't sure if I should go take a look after school.
Zhuang Ni was absent from class today again and I didn't get a reply even when I sent her a text. It looks like I can only find out what 'Ai ShuQiao is doing with my blood' if I go to the place she designated.
I suspect Zhuang Ni was tricking me. Even if she allowed Xiao Qin to go, there might still be a trap waiting for us. Even the Scientific Happiness Church couldn't find out what my blood was used for, so how would Zhuang Ni find out?
But it's hard to suppress a person's curiosity, so after night study ended, I confirmed Xiao Qin didn't have to rush home (Auntie Ren was busy with work and would be home late), so I took her to the strange address Zhuang Ni provided.
On the way, I told Xiao Qin about my recent blood donation to Ai ShuQiao. I hid it from her before because I didn't want her to know I had a viral heart disease. Now that my heart disease has been cured, I don't have to keep it a secret anymore.
"Why did you take your blood?" "Could it be that Ai Mi's mother is actually a vampire and must drink the blood of virgins to survive?"
Vampires should like to drink the blood of virgins, right? If Ai ShuQiao is a vampire, then since I'm sure my dad is a human, then I'm the legendary descendant of a human and a vampire — — a Daywalker. Ahhh, an unknown power surged up. So I'm a super powerful being who can ignore sunlight, crosses, garlic, and holy water.
It was already very late when the night study session ended. Adding on the fact that we spent a lot of energy on the road, the sky was already completely dark when we arrived at Zhuang Ni's designated location. The moon that wasn't too round hung in the night sky, giving off a hazy and dazzling feeling.
"There's no one here." Xiao Qin looked around suspiciously. "Although the address on the card seems to be a club, this block has clearly been demolished. It's almost like the place where we fought … I mean, played two days ago!"
That's right. It's really similar to the place where you picked up the giant centipede and played with me. This was obviously a demolition area that was in the middle of construction. Even if there was a club in the past, it had now become a pile of rubble.
"There's a cellar here!" In the end, Xiao Qin's eyes were sharp. She found an iron lid in the middle of the broken bricks. I wanted to open it from the outside, but I couldn't pull it open. It must have been locked from the inside.
Right at this moment, my phone rang. I opened it and saw a new message. "If it's you, knock on the door in the rhythm of 3, 2, 1."
Was Zhuang Ni really hiding in the cellar? When I had struck the seal in the way she had instructed me, I heard a creak from within, and the seal was opened from within.
"Come in," Zhuang Ni called out to us as she stepped on the stone stairs.
Damn, Zhuang Ni, what kind of outfit are you wearing? It's not strange for you to be dressed in black from head to toe, but the problem is that you're not wearing a dress, but a black robe similar to a wizard's! It even has a hood! As long as he had a pen, he could pass it off as a staff and cosplay as a character from Harry Potter!
"Pfft!" When Xiao Qin saw Zhuang Ni in the black robe, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhuang Ni said angrily, "If you don't come in, I'll close the door!"
Xiao Qin and I followed behind Zhuang Ni. We stepped on the small stone stairs and walked step by step to the bottom of the cellar.
"Is there a problem with the ventilation?" I hesitated before I closed the lid. Zhuang Ni pointed to a candle on a wooden table that was burning normally. It proved that there was enough oxygen, so I closed the lid with a bit of relief.
The cellar wasn't very big. There was a wooden table that had been used for many years, but it didn't have any antique value. There were five candles on the table that formed a pentagram that was burning strangely. Behind the wooden table were four chairs made of the same material. The rest of the space was filled with cardboard boxes of various sizes. It seemed like the boxes were filled with scary witchcraft items, such as animal and human skulls, and mummy hands.
"Compared to the Church of Scientific Happiness, Zhuang Ni's place looks more like a cult!" Xiao Qin whispered in my ear.
"Sit." Zhuang Ni pointed in the direction of the table. Xiao Qin and I sat across from her. The five candles in between us flickered as if they were some kind of creature.
"What is this place?" I looked around and couldn't help but raise my question.
Zhuang Ni took a deep breath of the cellar's not-so-fresh air, "This used to be the Dong Shan City Witch Club. But as you can see, the buildings above were torn down. This cellar won't last much longer. It's a pity that the nearby spiritual energy is so thick …"
"It's thick carbon dioxide!" I couldn't help but ridicule, "Who else is in the Witch Club besides you? Was he someone who had nothing better to do and thought he had superpowers? After the club was torn down, they all scattered. You're the only one who was deeply poisoned, so you're still hiding in the cellar? "
"There's a cemetery nearby that's very suitable for holding worship ceremonies." Zhuang Ni retorted, "But even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. My current problem is that this place is about to be torn down. The witchcraft items that the club has accumulated over the years will have nowhere to be stored. I need to find a new place like a warehouse."
"Wait." I interrupted, "Didn't you call me here to tell me what kind of research my blood was used for? Why are you talking about witchcraft items now? Also, although the club had been demolished, everyone could still take a few of the witchcraft items home! You should have a lot of like-minded 'sisters' in the Witch Club, right? "
"Don't mention them!" Zhuang Ni fiercely knocked on the table, causing the flames of the five candles to flicker at the same time, "None of them have the determination to dedicate themselves to the dark side! It's fine when the club is still around, but once the club is gone, they actually say things like 'I got bored of the game and should just disband' or 'I found a boyfriend and I have a date tomorrow'. None of them want to hold worship ceremonies with me! "
Nonsense! I said in my heart, I'm guessing the other members of the Witch Club are older than you. This will definitely become their dark history in the future! Who would walk down the dark path like you?
Xiao Qin looked left and right in the middle of the boxes and finally asked with a frown: "Hey! Don't tell me you called us over to help you move!? "
Zhuang Ni looked at Xiao Qin with admiration and nodded, "That's right, I don't have good stamina, so I need the two of you to help me move. There are a total of 22 boxes, please."
"Please my ass! Are you trying to trick me with empty words and then use me as a coolie? No wonder you told me to call Xiao Qin, it's because you know she has a lot of strength and it would increase the efficiency of moving! "
"Zhuang Ni, you're too much!" Xiao Qin said angrily, "Ye Lin classmate was originally a very kind person. It's because I'm always tricked by people like you that I become less and less trusting of others!"
Um, I've been tricked by the Little Tyrant more times than everyone else combined, right? Xiao Qin, you don't have the right to criticize Zhuang Ni.
"I didn't trick you." Zhuang Ni put on her hood to make her face look even more mysterious under the candlelight, "I'm only making a deal with you. As long as you help me move these witchcraft items to the Scientific Happiness Sect's dormitory and give me the right to use a room, I'll share everything I know with you."
"Huh? You actually know about the Scientific Happiness Sect! "I said in surprise," Why did you move the witchcraft items to their dormitory? Are you trying to frame me? Is it a vicious competition between cults? "
"That's too evil!" Xiao Qin stood up and criticized Zhuang Ni, "It wasn't easy for Ye Lin classmate to become the Right Protector and get the Scientific Happiness Sect's scamming business on the right track so we can have a happy life in the future! You actually want to destroy it … "
Xiao Qin, where's your integrity? You must have forgotten your original purpose of joining the Scientific Happiness Sect with me!
"I don't have any special feelings towards the Scientific Happiness Sect." Zhuang Ni said indifferently, "I only know you have a say with them, so it's not difficult to get me a dormitory to store witchcraft items. Although I can get a hotel room from my relatives, it's not suitable to store witchcraft items …"
Is the Scientific Happiness Sect suitable? What kind of expression would Professor Bai have on his face when he saw so many witchcraft tools in a mess?!
But in the end, the Scientific Happiness Sect doesn't belong to my family, so it wouldn't affect me much if Zhuang Ni opened a witchcraft base there. I contacted professor Bai with the thought of 'I don't feel bad for other people's children'. Professor Bai was easy to talk to because Zhuang Ni said she would 'share information' with him, so he happily arranged a dormitory for Zhuang Ni to use as a warehouse.
The location was right next to Su Qiao's room. I'm not sure if Su Qiao would still be able to sleep if she knew there was a human skull in her room.
That night, Xiao Qin and I sealed all the boxes with tape and moved them outside the cellar. Professor Bai sent us a light truck, but since the driver was a female member, we did most of the manual labor.
As a man, I obviously couldn't let Xiao Qin do any heavy labor, so Xiao Qin only received the boxes at the exit of the cellar, then handed them to the driver and placed them in the truck's cargo compartment. I was carrying the boxes up and down the stairs by myself and it made me sweat quite a bit.
"It smells like a man." Zhuang Ni covered her nose as she supervised me in the cellar.
"Don't be discontented." I lectured her, "Believe it or not, I won't help you move and call the police to arrest you. I know someone at the police station! "
"Don't brag." Zhuang Ni pushed down the candles on the wooden table, as if she was going to set fire to the evidence of her activities in the cellar. "That Officer Ma you know, he's always thinking about arresting you. If you dare to call him here, I'll say that all these witchcraft items belong to you, and that the Witch Club was established by you with ulterior motives..."
"Is that so?" I carried the last box and walked up the stairs, "Then I'm the leader of you witches? But why are you the only one who hasn't left when all the other witches left? You probably stayed because you covet my beauty! "
"You're not allowed to covet Ye Lin classmate's beauty!" Xiao Qin yelled, "If you're jealous of other people's boyfriends, then go find one. Don't even think about Ye Lin classmate!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Ni set the tables and chairs on fire, then followed me out of the cellar.
"It stinks." She commented on the smell of my sweat while walking.
