The black sun totem was reflected in her pupils, and a sense of discomfort gradually rose within Lu Yibei's body.
That strange totem seed to be emitting a demonic power, and that power was eager to drill into her body.
Her eyes seed to be resisting that power, and a burning pain ca from them. Lu Yibei suddenly ca back to her senses and quickly shifted her gaze away from the black sun totem.
Lu Yibei withdrew her thoughts, pondered briefly over everything she saw before her, and suddenly, she had a feeling of enlightennt.
This dream was Yun ng's growth experience and what happened shortly before her death.
She didn't expect that before going to Shihekou Middle School, she had actually co into contact with people from the Eclipse Society!?
Could it be that the tragedy of their group of five going and only one returning was actually orchestrated by this seemingly harmless girl in league with people from the Eclipse Society?
But how did she herself also beco a Strange Tale? Was she double-crossed?
Although Lu Yibei hadn't been in contact with urban legend for long, it wasn't the first ti she had seen double-crossing. Even if this happened to Yun ng, she didn't find it strange.
Carrying her doubts, she cald down, continued to play the role of Yun ng, and quietly experienced everything that was about to happen before her eyes.
Her gaze deliberately avoided the black sun totem avatar in the upper left corner of the chat box and focused on the chat content.
"Drip drip drip—Drip drip drip—!"
She glanced at the ID above the chat box. Yun ng's chat partner was soone called 【Doctor】.
The content in the dialogue box was also very simple, looking like a casual greeting or pickup attempt.
Doctor: "Hello, do You have ti to chat?"
Yun ng: "Okay, what should we chat about?"
Yun ng was sowhat familiar with this person whose online na was Doctor. They had interacted a few tis in the urban legend discussion group, so although she had so doubts, she didn't refuse his invitation.
Doctor: "I saw in the urban legend discussion group that you were discussing where to play a test of courage ga? You are planning to go where?"
Yun ng: "Yes, we are indeed planning to play a test of courage ga, but we haven't decided where to go yet, and the specific ti hasn't been decided either."
Doctor: "Interested in checking out Shihekou Middle School? I heard it's very exciting there."
Yun ng: "Well... I'm not the organizer, I have to ask Pharaoh before I can make a decision."
Doctor: "I believe that as long as You ntion it to him, he will definitely agree. After You've discussed it, can I go?"
Seeing Doctor's strongly self-centered reply, Yun ng was a little displeased. She frowned and quickly typed on the keyboard.
Yun ng: "Didn't I tell You? I'm not the organizer, I can't make the decision."
Doctor: "You can, You just need to answer, can I go?"
Yun ng was annoyed by him and quickly typed text on the keyboard with both hands.
Yun ng: "What's wrong with You? Are You a robot? Can You only send one sentence? No, no, no!"
After sending the last ssage, she imdiately closed the dialogue box and turned around to block and mute Doctor.
A few seconds later.
A dialogue box inexplicably appeared on her desktop. The notification sound for a new ssage rang from the speakers, and a chilling line of text appeared on the dialogue box.
Doctor: "Can I go?"
The girl stared at the computer screen, froze for a few seconds, and then typed a reply with trembling hands.
Yun ng: "Who exactly are You?"
Doctor: "Can I go?"
Doctor gave the sa repeated response again. The girl suddenly felt a chill down her spine. The originally warm room also beca cold and eerie. There were vague shadows in the corners, as if hiding sothing terrifying.
Under this feeling of unease, the girl's face turned pale. She fumbled to turn off the computer and crawled into bed.
Many people should have had this experience: when they feel scared, as long as they cover their head with the quilt and wrap their body, it feels as though they can ward off all evil.
Feeling the warm embrace of the soft quilt, the girl's panic gradually subsided. Unknowingly, a wave of drowsiness ca over her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
...
"Buzz buzz—Buzz buzz—!"
She didn't know how long she had slept, but the girl was awakened by the vibration of her phone under the pillow.
Perhaps because she fell asleep on the bed with wet hair, after waking up, she felt her hands and feet were cold, and her head felt groggy as if she had a bad cold.
In a daze, she fumbled under the pillow for her phone and glanced at the new ssage she received. She froze for a mont, and then her pupils constricted violently. A chill rushed straight to her brain, instantly dispelling all sleepiness.
It was a text ssage from a garbled number, and the content was just a short sentence.
"Can I go?"
After regaining her senses slightly, she quickly threw the phone away.
The phone fell into the corner of the room, and the screen light gradually dimd. Soon, it started to vibrate again, rubbing against the wooden floor and making a buzzing sound, making her feel uneasy.
The girl panicked and stuffed her head under the pillow, pressing her hands tightly around her ears, trying not to listen to the terrifying sound. However, the sound seed to have a demonic quality, penetrating through the pillow's barrier and persistently drilling into her ears.
The girl was about to go crazy. Just when she felt the taut nerve in her brain was about to snap, the strange vibrating sound stopped.
She waited nervously for a few minutes, then cautiously poked half her head out from under the pillow to look around. Only after finding nothing unusual did she bring her whole body out.
She sat on the edge of the bed, still shaken. Her peripheral vision occasionally drifted towards the phone in the corner of the room. At this mont, she wanted to find soone to be with her, whether it was her boyfriend or her mother.
However, her boyfriend was half a city away from her, and her mother, with whom she depended on each other, was also in another place. For a while, she couldn't contact them to rush to her side.
What's more, the previous experience made her completely lack the courage to touch her phone, fearing that as soon as she touched it, she would imdiately receive that strange ssage again.
She didn't know how long she had sat numbly by the bed, but in the dead silence, the girl heard a phone ringing.
"...When I'm alone, I also want to talk to myself. I'm also afraid when I'm alone, I fill the head of my bed with dolls..."
At this mont, the lyrics that were originally gentle with a hint of strength, when heard by the girl, only left a chilling feeling.
"Beep—!"
The ringing stopped abruptly. The call was connected. The call duration on the phone screen increased by the second. A few seconds later, a strange, hoarse voice ca from the other end of the phone.
"Can I go?"
"Ah—!"
Hearing the voice from the phone, the girl suddenly exploded. She scread, grabbed the plush doll from the head of the bed and threw it out the window, then pounced towards the phone, grabbed it, slamd it hard on the ground, and stomped on it frantically.
After a burst of venting, the girl's chest rose and fell violently, and her emotions could not calm down for a long ti.
After a long ti, she stared at the shattered corpse of the phone and slowly let out a turbid breath.
Did I go too far just now?
Perhaps it was just a pervert who knew hacking techniques?
She thought to herself to comfort herself, shook her groggy head, and walked towards the bathroom, preparing to wash her face, dry her hair, and get back into bed.
...
"Splash—Splash—!"
In the bathroom, the girl stopped in front of the sink. The warm water constantly flowing from the faucet spread a layer of mist on the mirror.
She cupped warm water in her hands and rubbed her face vigorously. After feeling her mind clear up a bit, she couldn't help but find her previous extre behavior ridiculous.
Well, I was just scaring myself. As long as I get a good night's sleep, tomorrow will be a new day.
Thinking this, she raised her hand and extended her fair and slender fingertips to gently draw a smiley face on the mirror.
However, the mont she finished drawing the smiley face, the bathroom lights suddenly went out. Her heart skipped a beat, she stumbled back a few steps, and after a brief mont of panic and disorientation, her vision returned to light.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, she steadied herself. Her gaze fell on the mirror in front of her, and her body suddenly trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.
On the mirror, she saw a line of small text written using the mist—Can I go?
The girl rushed forward frantically, wiping away the mist on the mirror with both hands. The mist condensed into water droplets and slowly slid down. Her reflection appeared in the mirror.
Looking at the figure in the mirror that was exactly like her, silently watching her without moving, she froze for a mont. The next mont, as if rembering sothing, her pupils constricted violently.
She wanted to retreat in panic, but as soon as she took a step back, the figure in the mirror suddenly moved. Its hands reached out from the mirror, locked onto her shoulders, and pulled her forcefully.
"Bang—!" Her body hit the mirror, making a dull thud. The cracked mirror fragnts scratched the girl's cheek, staining it with a trace of blood.
Her cheek was pressed tightly against the mirror. Vaguely, from the cracks in the mirror, she heard a chilling whisper,
"Can I go?"
The girl began to scream, fell into madness, and comprehended despair.
And so, with a whisper of "I can go.", everything ca to an abrupt halt.
Just like a scene change after the curtain falls in a stage play, darkness descended.
...
Opening her eyes again, the girl was already sitting in front of the computer, unhard. A chat group dialogue box appeared on the computer screen, with the words 【Test of Courage Ga】 written on it.
"Clack, clack—!"
The girl's eyes were numb and lifeless. Her hands chanically typed on the keyboard, writing "How about we go to Shihekou Middle School to play the Disc Spirit ga this ti?" in the input bar, and then pressed the Enter key.
After waiting for more than a minute, a person with the online na Pharaoh gave a reply.
Pharaoh: "Why did You suddenly want to go to Shihekou Middle School? That's not a good place."
Pharaoh seed not very keen on choosing Shihekou Middle School as the location for the test of courage ga.
Yun ng: "Is there a problem? I heard it's very interesting there, with many intriguing rumors. I think it's very suitable as the location for our test of courage ga this ti."
After Yun ng asked the question, about an hour passed, and seeing that Pharaoh was slow to reply, she typed on the keyboard again to inquire.
Yun ng: "Darling? Are we going there or not?"
After waiting for a mont.
Pharaoh: "Since You, my dear, brought it up, then let's go to Shihekou Middle School. I'll go pull a few people in."
"Brazil War God joined the group"
"Liang Yue joined the group"
"Little Demoness applied to join the group"
"Yun ng verified and approved Little Demoness's application"
