Surrounded by the dark mountains, the desolate village was dead and lifeless.
Until screams broke through the silence of the night, and the lifeless village seemed lively once again.
Wooden doors were continuously being pushed open, and one after another, lanterns floated out from their dark corners. The scarlet lanterns, like evil ghosts, were extremely evil and filthy.
A female yell echoed through the village, mixed with murmurs that seemed to come from an ancient time, and a golden light flashed through the entire village.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic presence rose into the sky, and even the rain trembled in its sheer presence.
Gu Qianqian’s psychic abilities were definitely equal to a Level A Threat. If she were to do something bad, she’d be put on the national criminal list immediately.
And even though those women in red were key in this strange ritual, they could not compare to her sheer majesty.
They couldn’t survive a single club to the head, or, more accurately, they fell even before she did anything.
The water tanks were all shattered open, and the filthy running water soaked the tiles of the temple, but there were no babies inside the tanks.
The clothes of the women were shredded by sheer force, and their bodies tore like paper puppets.
And there was no blood. Instead, it was black like asphalt, and the blood squirmed like snakes.
“System? Are they urban legends? They don’t seem to have cores in them!”
“They are indeed urban legends,” the system responded. “But obviously, this is not the main body; there are more important things to attend to.”
“Like what?”
“Getting out of here!”
In this village, it’s impossible to tell how many dangerous urban legends are lurking around. Hence, escape is the best option.
Their main purpose in entering this domain was to obtain forbidden knowledge, but now that violence has permeated the realm, the system fears that this very domain might morph and change before their eyes.
“We need to leave now, Gu Qianqian!”
“No! I haven’t finished the mission yet!” Gu Qianqian retaliated as she pointed her club at the man. “You! Tell me everything you know about this village, and where is your ancestral hall?”
“A-ancestral hall? You! You are the one who killed the old lady! The village chief won’t let you go for this!”
“What the hell are you talking about? Tell me where your ancestral hall is!”
“A-anc-ancestral…”
As the man spoke, his firm muscles started to tense up, and his body bent backwards in a glorious arch, causing his spine to snap, followed by a sharp contraction of his pupils.
Crackle…
Bright red blood poured out of his abdomen like a fountain, and a scarlet lantern emerged from his body.
[You have successfully completed the mission! Find somewhere safe to enjoy your meal!]
The system believed that she had completed the mission in order to make her leave as soon as possible, but the system did, in fact, obtain useful enough information—the old lady, the village chief, and ordinary villagers—and they were all able to transform into urban legends with no psychic tendencies.
As soon as she completed her mission, she had no worries anymore. Putting away her club, she stomped on the ground and leapt into the air with a loud explosion.
A few minutes later.
A figure wrapped in golden light galloped across the fields, and behind her, countless scarlet lanterns chased after her, like a scarlet dragon chasing after its prey towards the distant mountains.
The scarecrows raised their heads and murmured faint whispers of fury.
In Jingyi Apartments.
Jumeng sat cross-legged on the sofa and lined all of the apparitions on the coffee table in front of her.
“Do you think that brat will never come back because of what happened last night?” she asked, worried.
After he left yesterday, Jumeng went upstairs to his room and helped him tidy up, only to find that his magical girl suit had disappeared.
Hence, Jumeng was so worried that he took the clothes and left home in a fit of rage to kill himself.
“That’s impossible! He’s stingy, so he’ll return sooner or later.”
“Right? With such a beautiful goddess waiting for him, I bet he’s running back home right about now.”
“Really?” Jumeng wondered.
“Yes!”
“Then, tell me—when he comes back, what should I do to make sure that he won’t be angry at me?”
Show your boobs! Sell your body!
All kinds of strange phrases appeared in the apparitions’ heads, but they didn’t dare speak them.
Even if she did listen to them, he might think that she wants to kill him when his guard is down.
“I think you can do… ah… do…”
“What sounds are you making, oh, making babies? Absolutely not! It is not the time yet!”
“…”
“Why are all of you looking at me like that? Forget it; you wouldn’t understand!” Jumeng rolled her eyes.
After all, who wouldn’t yearn for a romantic relationship that blends one’s soul and flesh?
However, only a few urban legends, let alone human beings, can bear the toxins in their body.
“We meant… Do him a favour and make him a meal.”
“Oh! So that’s what you were talking about!”
At around nine o’clock in the morning, Lu Yibei had bathed himself in the sunshine and taken a shower at Gu Qianqian’s house. He returned home and was about to pick up his bag and phone to go to school, only to see something completely indescribable on his table.
In a large copper basin was a dark, green liquid that boiled bubbles, and the corpse of an unknown animal was put within the liquid.
He could see the reproductive organs of another creature entangled with another creature, like the hanging arms of a dying person, except for their genitals.
“What are you? I’ve only been out for one night, and you’re trying to brew urban legends in my house.”
“What are you talking about?” Jumeng pouted. “It’s garlic and fried pork! I tasted it, and it was good!”
He thought of throwing it all away, but looking at her guilty face as if she were trying to apologise for what happened last night…
To eat or not to eat, that is the question.
