Chapter 50 Yue Yiyue: Picking up the hammer

Gu Nanqiu's demeanor during class was not exactly serious.

Sitting there, he would occasionally poke Yue Yiyue or touch Yue Yiyue's hand.

Similarly, when the teacher stares at you, you'll smile at them confidently, as if to say, "I'm paying attention!"

But Yue Yiyue, sitting next to her, noticed the messy notes on the other person's notebook, and that beautiful, jade-like hand that remained stuck to his own.

Yue Yiyue patted Gu Nanqiu's hand lightly: "I'll take notes for you. If you're bored, you can play on your phone."

Gu Nanqiu was not too happy, but after thinking about it, she thought it would be fine to leave Yue Yiyue's handwriting on the clean textbook.

He handed her the notebook, saying, "It was a tough jump, but I'm even happier to have you chat with me."

In the lecture hall, Gu Nanqiu had chosen a seat at the back, so she could speak in a low voice without disturbing the students around her. However, Yue Yiyue, who was used to focusing on reading in class, still felt a little guilty.

She patted Gu Nanqiu on the shoulder, then turned on a popular TV show on his phone, indicating that Gu Nanqiu should play by himself.

He then buried himself in taking notes on the key and difficult points the teacher mentioned.

The class wasn't as boring as Yue Yiyue had imagined; in fact, it was quite enjoyable to have learned something new.

Aside from He Wu, who was sitting in the front, repeatedly turning around to look at Gu Nanqiu's position.

The other party's actions were even somewhat blatant, as if openly telling Yue Yiyue that he had malicious intentions towards Gu Nanqiu and that he should come and beat him up.

Yue Yiyue thought about it and decided that for Gu Nanqiu's safety, they should at least stay together for the next few days.

What evil is He Wu hiding? What is he planning to do? Is Xie Ying's situation related to him?

And there's Wu Zhen.

Yue Yiyue felt that to resolve this matter, he might need to negotiate with Wu Zhen.

However, Yue Yiyue's thoughts were too chaotic at the moment, so she had to prioritize the matters at hand.

The most important thing is those two monsters.

The box-headed man and the cake waiter, their purpose seems to be to cleanse evil, but the rules they trigger are bizarre.

Even now, Yue Yiyue is still not quite sure what happened to him that led him into the rules of Box Head.

Yes, Baidu Tieba.

Yue Yiyue recalled Liu Mingdian's suggestion to check the forum for more details.

As soon as the bell rang, Yue Yiyue immediately pulled Gu Nanqiu towards home.

————

The first thing Yue Yiyue did after getting home was to throw his coat on the sofa.

Koya, who was watching Tom and Jerry, looked up: "Hmm? You're back? Did you find anything? Is there anything good to eat?"

"Yes, I'm going to check it out on Tieba."

Gu Nanqiu followed behind and looked at Gu Ye sitting on the sofa. She put the bag in her hand on the table and said, "Gu Ye, go down and get the package. I'll send you the pickup code later."

"Buy a few drinks on your way back, and see if there's anything you'd like to eat."

Gu Nanqiu glanced at the retail counter: "I'll also go to the snack street to buy some braised dishes."

"Okay." Gu Ye stood up, her gaze falling on Yue Yiyue's coat. She glanced at Gu Nanqiu to make sure he wouldn't hit her: "Yiyue, lend me your coat for a bit, mine's washed."

"Just wear it." Yue Yiyue had already run into the study.

"Luckily, I have the keys in my pocket. I'll come back soon."

————

After he finished speaking, Yue Yiyue focused all his attention on the small screen in front of him.

She quickly learned about the structure of the forum and then searched for keywords within it.

Wishing cake.

There was nothing there.

Yue Yiyue switched to the school's online forum again.

Amidst a sea of ​​posts seeking Gu Nanqiu's contact information, a few inquiries from new students were also present.

Yue Yiyue patiently searched for the information he needed.

As the mouse hovered over the image, a colorful picture came into Yue Yiyue's view.

A post caught Yue Yiyue's attention, and she clicked on it out of curiosity.

"What happened in front of the Chinese Literature Department last night? Why is it fenced off today?"

I reckon it's related to what happened with Koya.

It also included several pictures that looked quite scary.

Yue Yiyue was somewhat hesitant to think about how Gu Ye had escaped.

Thinking of Koya's carefree and thoughtless demeanor, one can only say that fools are often blessed.

The students inside were discussing amongst themselves, mostly saying that something of hers had broken and the school had quickly compensated her.

But no one has explained exactly what happened.

Then Yue Yiyue watched helplessly as the post was locked.

......

Luckily, I saved the picture while I was at it, so I can check what information it contains later.

Yue Yiyue scrolled down again.

I finally found a post about wishing cakes in a thread from the end of September.

The poster is inquiring about the authenticity of this message.

There's a person in the building with a white profile picture and a garbled nickname who posted a link.

There, they said mysteriously, "We won't discuss this in public, honey. For information about the wishing cake, please visit the dedicated website."

Yue Yiyue clicked on the link out of curiosity, and was quickly redirected to a completely black page.

In the very center is a whimsical cake shape, colored bit by bit.

Finally, the cake was covered in color, and the page content appeared.

[It seems like there are fewer wishing cakes available lately... I've tried several cake shops but haven't been able to find any.]

[Dear everyone, thank you! I found the wishing cake, and my wish came true! Thank you all for your help. As a thank you, I'd like to let you know that the peak time for wishing cakes is after 6 PM! Remember, 6 PM!]

"Ahhh! That damn scumbag is finally dead! Seriously, thank you for the wishing cake! He cheated on me first and wouldn't get a divorce. Now, just as I wished, he died in the most crowded place. When I saw the news, I felt so incredibly happy."

Upon seeing this, Yue Yiyue realized that this matter connected with the incident at the cake shop...

She clicked on the post and saw a hand making a peace sign with a portrait of a deceased person behind it.

Many people left comments asking if there were any side effects, or whether she had given anything else in return.

The poster replied to each comment one by one: "No, nothing happened."

"Oh dear, because many people will still get to eat the mango flavor. They are the ones who will pay the price, while we are the believers chosen by the Cake God."

"The secret? The secret must be to maintain a kind heart and to want to eliminate evil without any selfish motives."

"To be honest, I'm already a follower of the Cake God Cult, and I firmly defend our supreme Cake God!"

The cakes are getting fewer? No, no, no, it's because you're not devout enough. It's because you're not devout enough that the cakes don't want to come to you. If you really need them, I have some ways. Add me on WeChat... As for how to add me, leave a message, or I'll see if we click.

Below is a densely packed message: "May good people have a peaceful life." along with contact information.

Yue Yiyue stared at the post for a long time. After a while, she followed the example of these people and typed in "May you have a peaceful life," and then left the contact information of the person who had been harassing her.

I casually sent a message to the person who sent the text: "Don't refuse if someone adds you later. I'm busy here, so just do as I say."

The reply came instantly: "Oh my god, baby, you really consider me a close friend, waaaaah, is there some important task for you to entrust to me?"

"Don't worry, baby, I will definitely do a good job of what you have arranged."

"What do you need? Money? Power? Or is there someone you don't like and want me to kill her? Although I can't be by your side right now, I still have other ways, baby. Tell me and I'll arrange it for you right away."

Yue Yiyue looked at the constant stream of text messages and said briefly, "I have something I need to ask the owner of this number. She won't find any information about you through this, right? After all, you're so capable."

After a brief pause, an even more intense barrage of text messages began.

It contained a mixture of affection and some nonsense.

After reading for a while, Yue Yiyue finally saw the promise among the messages: "Okay, baby, I will do as you ask and I will definitely not cause any trouble. You don't need to think too much. I will do better than them... Wait for me... I will."

Put your phone away.

Yue Yiyue continued reading other posts.

Most of the comments were from people who had tried the matcha-flavored strawberry cake, and they were all praising the cake god.

In Yue Yiyue's view, their only goal was to encourage more people to buy this so-called cake that could fulfill wishes.

I browsed the website; now is not the time to report it, but I can use this as a clue to submit something to...

Perhaps ordinary police officers are not suitable. If Yue Yiyue remembers correctly, there are actually some special police officers here who deal with the rules.

————

After much hesitation, Yue Yiyue consulted a doctor online and booked an appointment with Zhang Jingming.

Dr. Zhang came online soon, and Yue Yiyue sent his prepared message: "Dr. Zhang, hello. I came to you for a consultation before. We talked about some paranormal phenomena at that time. Would it be convenient for us to talk about it?"

The call came through very quickly.

After some communication, Yue Yiyue provided the website. Zhang Jingming thanked Yue Yiyue for the information and asked him to leave his contact information, as a special police department would contact her two days later.

At this point, Yue Yiyue hesitated.

Zhang Jingming also noticed Yue Yiyue's hesitation. She understood Yue Yiyue's concerns and told him to wait a moment.

They quickly sent over a passport photo.

The style of this ID photo is somewhat similar to that of a forensic doctor's photo...

Yue Yiyue stared at it for a long time and then asked, "If I may ask, do you have a forensic psychologist?"

This sounded really strange, and Yue Yiyue belatedly realized his mistake and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I got it mixed up."

“No, no.” Zhang Jingming’s voice was still gentle: “She is our colleague. I just didn’t expect that Yue would have such a connection with our department. We’ll have the forensic doctor contact you later.”

"Perfect timing, her vacation is over too."

Hearing this, Yue Yiyue also felt it was quite a coincidence, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she leaned back in her chair and listened to Zhang Jingming's instructions.

Protect your mental energy.

If your mental state is too low, you will be able to see many things that are not visible in this world.

As for how to protect one's mental strength, Zhang Jingming left with the words, "The forensic doctor will tell you later."

After hanging up the phone, Yue Yiyue looked at his phone screen.

Xie Ying's appearance seems to be related to her mental state.

It would be strange if she became like this because she ate a mango-flavored strawberry cake.

So far, none of the information Yue Yiyue has found is related to mango-flavored strawberry cake.

This even implies a tendency to remain silent about it.

So... those people who ate the mango flavor, are they just like Xie Ying, crazy?

Or did they pay the price of being unable to express their situation online?

Or perhaps they are already dead?

Much information was blocked, and Yue Yiyue had no way of knowing it.

How many people actually participated in this deification campaign disguised as wish fulfillment?

What is that cake-headed monster trying to do?

For some reason, the computer screen suddenly refreshed itself.

The latest post appeared before Yue Yiyue's eyes.

[I ate a wishing cake... My wish is for Gu Nanqiu to love me forever and ever... Everyone, wait for my feedback!]
