(Chapter 135): Chasing After Her

Lu Yibei supported Professor Ma by the waist and sat him down by a desk.

 

At this moment, the lights in the research room had flickered back to normal. As the light shone, it could be seen that the books on top of the tables were scattered erratically.

 

Seeing this, his face slightly changed as he got up abruptly, but a sharp pain hit his waist, and he reluctantly sat back down.

 

Now that the adrenaline rush has worn off, the pain is finally starting to settle in.

 

“Oh no,” Professor Ma breathed out. “Yibei, go check if the bamboo scrolls are still in the storage room.”

 

“They should still be there,” Yibei muttered. She was unsure if she should tell Professor Ma what she had encountered before getting in there.

Ten minutes ago.

 

Near Gate No. 4, a taxi stopped near the entrance.

 

Originally, the young witch wanted Zhang Shan to drive into the University, but he threatened her, saying that he would call the police on her, so she had no choice but to get out of the car.

 

It was clear that he was still apprehensive about her.

 

“This isn’t the first time that we met, and I could’ve killed you many times before this. What happened to basic human trust?”

 

‘You see, you’re not human in the first place!’

 

Zhang Shan cursed in his heart and wordlessly drove away from the university, plunging the university back into dead silence.

The moonlight shone like water on the concrete road leading to Gate No. 4; weeds were overgrown by the sides of the road, and the road itself was desolate and abandoned.

 

On the right side of the intersection, a rusty iron signboard fell to the ground, with the words [No. 4] etched onto it.

 

Under the pale moonlight, the empty atmosphere was slightly disturbing, and she held the kitchen knife tightly in one hand and two charms in the other, praying that she wouldn’t encounter the headless girl.

 

Originally, she chose to take this entrance to save some time, but if she encounters an urban legend, it’ll waste even more time.

 

Of course, the other gates were guarded by security, and if she were to be caught, she wouldn’t be able to enter the university grounds. No cute face can deter her from the law.

 

However, she was confident that she could deal with urban legends.

 

True enough, she did encounter something strange along the way.

In the lab.

 

“You… did you encounter anything strange?” Professor Ma trembled as Yibei poured out more medicine for him.

 

As an old professor, he knows of the rumours about Gate No. 4. What’s worse is that he was a witness.

 

It was raining, and he didn’t know what had happened. He was driving down Gate No. 4, as usual, to get to his office quicker, but he saw many students with black umbrellas by a bulletin board.

 

Through the crowd of umbrellas, he could see a black-and-white picture of a girl smiling, revealing her dimples. The students placed flowers, dolls, and other gifts in front of the photo frame.

 

He remembered asking what had happened, and instead of taking the bouquet meant for his wife, he placed it next to the photo frame.

 

That was the last time he went down Gate No. 4 and rumours of a headless girl spread among the student body.

 

Therefore, when Yibei mentioned that she encountered something strange at Gate No. 4, he didn’t doubt her at all.

 

“Of course I did!” Yibei said as she dropped the pills into his hands and sat cross-legged on the ground. “Let me tell you, I was…”

 

The one-sided conversation went on and on, and Professor Ma couldn’t help but wish he was trapped in the bathroom once again.

She encountered something strange on the bulletin board—it was dusty, and a single bulletin was posted inside. The paper had turned yellow due to time, and the black characters on it had faded to a malicious red.

 

Because of Gu Qianqian, he didn’t really pay much attention to the board, but now she swears she saw something in the reflection of the glass on the board.

 

There was a blurry silhouette reflected in the glass—a tall figure in familiar clothes holding a large umbrella that covered her entire body across the street.

 

Lu Yibei turned her head and looked across the street, but she only saw an empty street. She froze for a moment, then turned her head to look at the reflection on the board, only to see that the figure was now in the middle of the road.

 

Lu Yibei’s eyes began to burn slightly, and the fear of knowing something was approaching made her shudder. She clenched the kitchen knife and charms in her hands.

 

At this moment, she glanced at the bulletin board from the corner of her eye, and she could see that the figure was right next to her, and it was lowering its umbrella…

 

The burning pain in both eyes became more intense, and the terrifying girl manifested before her.

 

She was wearing a blood-stained dress, and her entire neck was brutally cut off, leaving only a thin layer of fleshy skin connecting her head and neck, like a rose with a broken stalk.

 

The drooping head turned half a circle, and it grinned with an incomprehensibly wide smile.

 

“Fuck!”

 

It’s that headless girl!

 

‘Why didn’t I just run away?’ She cursed herself. ‘I have to fight her!’

 

Thinking about it, she hurriedly took two steps back and firmly grasped the kitchen knife in her hand.

 

At this moment, the girl’s head tilted as it fell into her arms. She then turned around and dashed straight towards the Faculty of Arts.

 

“Oh, maybe she was on the way too.”

 

 

“Excuse me? You chased her?”

Professor Ma imagined the scene of Lu Yibei carrying a gleaming kitchen knife and chasing after the rumoured female ghost.

 

Yibei felt that the professor’s tone was a little strange.

 

“Well, she was the one who led me here.”
