Chapter 53 .......

"You... came back to find us?" Xie Ying stared at Yue Yiyue, and suddenly blurted out this question.

Do you also want your wish to come true?

What is your wish?

"cake--"

"Why? Why don't you smell like cake?" Xie Ying leaned closer and sniffed Yue Yiyue's body with a strange expression.

After a moment of bewilderment, she began to question loudly, "You're not a believer?"

"Why don't you smell like cake?"

As Xie Ying continued to question him, more and more eyes were drawn to Yue Yiyue.

They stared intently at Yue Yiyue, words flashing across their eyes: "Judgment."

"Trial"

"Trial"

"desire"

"desire"

"desire"

Two hands emerged from the pupils, like blooming poppies.

Behind them was He Wu.

He stood at the highest point, looking down at Yue Yiyue as if he were looking at a tiny ant.

"Are you here to see Gu Nanqiu?"

"She and her lover will be very happy."

"And you, poor little bug, you are not needed."

Yue Yiyue's hand trembled, and a sharp dagger appeared in her hand.

She looked at He Wu expressionlessly: "Where is she?"

"Don't you understand?" He Wu glared at him, his eyes full of mockery: "You're too incompetent, so she chose someone who needed her more."

With a swift movement, the hand that had almost caught Yue Yiyue's clothes fell to the ground, covered in dust, before Yue Yiyue kicked it aside: "Where is she?"

With a flying kick, he shattered the eyeball beside him, and then Yue Yiyue pulled out his hand with a backhand.

After eliminating the three nearest eyeballs, Yue Yi leaped onto the desk, nimbly vaulted over it, and instantly appeared beside He Wu.

With a back throw, He Wu was brought to the ground, and the tendons in his hands were quickly severed.

"Where is she?" Yue Yiyue's dark eyes were devoid of any emotion, his hands, veins bulging, were gripping He Wu by the collar.

The intense pain made He Wu's face turn several shades pale. He screamed and cursed, "You madman, what happened to you all of a sudden?"

He tried to struggle and knock Yue Yiyue over, but Yue Yiyue elbowed him several more times, and blood immediately started flowing from his nose.

"I'll ask one last time, where is she?"

This unexpected turn of events by Yue Yiyue was beyond He Wu's expectations. He stared at Yue Yiyue's face for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

"So you care about her that much? Too bad, the Wish God has already taken her away... If you want to find her, you have to make a wish first..." He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Yue Yiyue provocatively: "Your methods are ruthless, and you weren't exactly clean before, were you?"

"What right does someone like you have to stand next to Gu Nanqiu?"

"Do you dare tell Gu Nanqiu about your past?"

Another punch landed squarely on He Wu's face.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, He Wu was no longer needed. Yue Yiyue stood up, looked around, and walked up to Xie Ying: "Xie Ying, do you know where the cake is?"

Xie Ying remained in a dazed state, like a soulless doll, but her pupils trembled violently, as if she were struggling against something.

Yue Yiyue took a deep breath and casually popped the eyeball next to him.

what to do?

What can we do?

She subconsciously bit her finger, her brain racing.

Who can be used in the original work?

Who can she turn to for help?

As she pondered, a layer of black mist rose from the ground and quickly enveloped the entire building.

The light bulb made a buzzing sound and flickered on and off.

The classroom doors on the fourth floor opened and closed simultaneously with a series of rattling sounds, like mischievous children randomly swaying the doors.

Turning around, I saw He Wu shakily getting up from the ground, his head twisted at a strange angle.

Then Yue Yiyue watched helplessly as He Wu removed his head and placed it on the table beside him.

Then, out of nowhere, they produced a cardboard box.

"Yue Yiyue... why didn't you just kill me?" His tone was extremely puzzled.

"That look in your eyes just now... it was like you wanted to tear me to pieces."

He coughed a few times, his voice began to distort and change, and the students around him also began to tremble, tears of blood streaming from their eyes, while the red on his chest grew brighter and brighter.

"Tsk..." He Wu cursed under his breath. If Yue Yiyue had killed him just now, he could have been convicted immediately.

Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he's just going through the motions when he kills people.

"I quite like you." He Wu... no, he should be called the Box Monster, who dramatically opened the lid on his head and tossed out a few hearts: "Back then, I took over this body just to get close to you, and then—"

"Play to death—Pfft—"

Before the box-headed monster could finish speaking, Yue Yiyue stabbed him in the back with a white knife.

Yue Yiyue watched the speed at which the blood flowed from the blood groove on the blade, and after estimating, she knew it was another slash.

The knife went straight into his heart.

Unfortunately, nothing seemed to have happened to this body, but the body behind it collapsed instantly.

Turned to ashes.

Yue Yiyue looked down at the thick black lines on the cardboard box, and his expression turned into a mocking smile.

They mocked Yue Yiyue for overestimating his abilities.

Monsters are different from humans, and Yue Yiyue was certain that he could not completely kill this thing.

Without a source of fire, setting the school on fire wouldn't be a good idea.

The box head is merely an appendage of that neurotic wish god.

Yue Yiyue showed no interest in fighting, got up, and ran straight outside.

"Too late." The box-headed monster tilted its head, and those stiff, decorative people seemed to come alive, their eyes red as they lunged at Yue Yi.

Yue Yiyue nimbly weaved through the crowd, and soon broke free, running downstairs.

While we're at it, let's check if any other students are still lingering around.

The wind whistled past my ears; the monster behind me was about to catch up.

Yue Yiyue sprinted forward, braced himself with his hands, and nimbly leaped off the second floor.

"Wow, so cool." Yue Yiyue heard Gu Ye's exclamation and turned to look at the light green electric scooter and Gu Ye holding a helmet in his hand.

She took the helmet, took a long stride, and said, "Let's go."

"Okay!"

————

Back home, before Gu Ye could even speak, he saw Yue Yiyue rush into the bathroom.

I adjusted the water temperature, plunged in, and a moment later the bathroom was filled with steam.

Yue Yiyue repeatedly washed his hands to clean the bloodstains off his body, then threw his clothes into the trash can.

Ten minutes later, she wrapped herself in a towel, dried her hair, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Gu Ye, do you have any sources of information about He Wu?"

Box Head said he had possessed someone else's body, but Yue Yiyue didn't believe him.

But those eye-like things weren't there in the box head before.

There must be some reason why he became stronger.

Gu Ye looked at Yue Yiyue as he emerged from the bath. She awkwardly pushed him into the room and closed the door: "I'll ask around at my workplace. Someone there should know something."

"I checked the time and realized that you hadn't come back after so long, and you weren't replying to my messages. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go and check on you."

"Then I saw you fall from the sky. When I saw what was behind you, it really scared me to death. It was even more terrifying than the day you chased me."

"By the way, after that jump, is your foot alright?"

"fine."

Through the door, Yue Yiyue's voice was somewhat muffled, and his tone sounded flat.

It sounds like they aren't worried about Gu Nanqiu's departure at all.

Gu was also a little worried that he might have believed those people who said that Gu Nanqiu had gone to find her happiness.

No!

But if Gu Nanqiu doesn't come back, then according to the order... well, it's not her either.

Oh... then it would be better if she came back, at least she could be given a hug.

She squatted by the door, feeling both worried and conflicted.

Just as he was pondering how to bring up the matter of Gu Nanqiu, the door opened again.

Yue Yiyue looked down at Gu Ye sitting at the door: "What... are you doing here?"

Gu Ye looked up and blinked at Yue Yiyue: "Gu Nanqiu hasn't come back, I'm a little worried about you."

"You two usually get along very well."

Gu also seemed a little nervous: "You should know what I mean, right? After all, the way you asked me to look up information just now didn't seem like you were looking for someone."

"It seems more like a revenge plot?"

"No, no, it's not about seeking revenge, I can't really explain it."

Yue Yiyue thought for a moment: "In the end, we all want that monster to die."

"Koya, will you help me?"

Yue Yiyue placed some of his hopes on that number that he couldn't block.

She also picked up her phone and started looking up nearby cake shops.

After marking the twenty-three nearest stores, Yue Yiyue handed the keys to Gu Ye, telling her to take care of the house, order something to eat if she was hungry, and find a place to sleep if she was tired. Then he hurriedly left.

From beginning to end, Gu Nanqiu was not mentioned at all.

Gu was also a little unsure about Yue Yiyue's attitude.

She wasn't particularly good at anthropology, but it wouldn't be convenient to ask her directly.

After much hesitation, she went into the kitchen. Since things had come to this, she decided to cook three dishes and a soup for Yiyue so that she would have something to eat when she came back from her work, which would be good for her stomach.

After preparing the meal, she dialed a number.

Amidst the sarcastic remarks, Koya looked at the vibrant flowers blooming on the balcony: "But after this, I'll be heading to City A, then I can hand this number over to the other us~"

————

Following the optimal route he had planned, Yue Yiyue went from cake shop to cake shop.

Unfortunately, there was no information.

They sent the information about Gu Nanqiu's disappearance to the forensic doctors, hoping they could also help find the cake.

The forensic doctor suggested that more staff be added immediately, and also asked Yue Yiyue for a map of nearby cake shops.

After the door slammed shut, Yue Yiyue walked out of the shop with a blank face. It was yet another cake shop that had yielded no results.

The street was bustling with people, and Yue Yiyue rubbed his head wearily.

"Yue Yiyue?"

An unfamiliar voice entered Yue Yiyue's ears.

She turned around and saw Wu Zhen looking somewhat disheveled.

There were several scratches on her clothes, as if they had been caught on something.

With just one glance, Yue Yiyue could tell that he was one of the lookouts and henchmen around He Wu.

Wu Zhen stood still, looking at Yue Yiyue, wanting to get closer, but hesitant because of something.

After a moment of silence, Wu Zhen's tears flowed before she could say anything else.

"I'm sorry... It's all my cousin's fault. Without my knowledge... I couldn't control him..."

"I'm trying my best to find a way to save him. Yi Yue, I'm sorry, can you give me a chance to save him? I only beg you to spare He Wu's life."
