Chapter 151 The First World
The next morning, Tang Lingnan turned off the alarm clock and opened the door with sleepy eyes. Her fingers gripping the door handle paused, and the sleepiness that had flooded her mind disappeared instantly.
Bang!
Tang Lingnan closed the door, then opened it again, calmly scanning the room, which looked like the devastation of a battle. A cloud of black feathers and down fluttered across the room, so many that Tang Lingnan couldn't help but wonder if her little black crow and the new little crow had both gone bald.
She stepped forward, feeling the soft touch of her feet. She was silent for a moment, her mind wandering. Do normal cats and crows have so much hair to shed?
Forget it, even unscientific things like spiritual energy have emerged, so what if animals evolve? The most urgent thing is - Tang Lingnan looked around the room, accurately pulled out a slightly bald kitten from the black fur, and then pulled down an equally miserable little crow from the shelf, staring at the two guys quietly with a pair of eyes.
The little crow, trying to appear pitiful, paused, folding its wings and standing obediently on the ground. The black cat, startled, gave a hesitant, tender cry.
"There's no point in trying to be cute." Tang Lingnan's expression was particularly cold. She scanned the room again and said expressionlessly, "First of all, I should thank you for not breaking or damaging anything you shouldn't have during the fight, saving me from financial loss. But that doesn't mean you're without fault."
"Do you know how long it takes me to clean this fur?"
Such a strong murderous aura.
The two little animals trembled.
Tang Lingnan sneered, his defense completely broken. "No, you don't know! Now, go and reflect on your actions!"
The two little ones shuddered and silently went to face the wall to reflect on their mistakes.
Tang Lingnan stepped on the mess of hair and went to wash up with a gloomy face. She didn't even want to eat. Before closing the door and leaving home, she turned around and grinned gently at the two dark guys in the corner. She said softly: "I believe you can handle it before I come back, right?"
She slammed the door shut, and the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs was filled with anger.
After a long moment, the black cat's ears twitched slightly. He exhaled softly, and the scattered fur began to glow faintly, returning to his body one by one. At the same time, the black feathers melted and disappeared into the room.
They originally didn't want Tang Lingnan to see all this, but they were so furious that when they noticed that Tang Lingnan had woken up, it was too late to react. They had to freeze their bodies and hide themselves subconsciously.
The black cat shook its ears, looked at the crow beside it, and said, "Our goals are the same. Why are you so hostile to me? You should know that this world cannot withstand the power of our liberation."
The crow tilted its head to look at him, its newly grown, shining black feathers making it look cute yet a little mysterious. The male voice that uttered from its beak was mature and elegant: "Don't tell me you don't have any hostility."
He chuckled softly, "You and I both know the so-called contract. In the eyes of the strong, it's just a piece of waste paper."
After saying that, the crow turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace.
Samuel frowned deeply. He had no doubt that if the right opportunity arose, the person behind the shadow would be happy to show up in person, without caring about the safety of the world. There were still many ordinary people in this world.
He sharpened his claws, feeling a bit awkward. He could sense that the other party seemed very anxious, but why? He only needed to wait for another year for the opportunity to mature. So many years had passed, so why did he still mind waiting for another year?
This is really bad. This kind of strength may have been smuggled in. With the power stored in this incarnation of his, if an accident really happens, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the situation.
After much deliberation, Samuel finally decided to send a message to the main body and use official channels to obtain the relaxation of the world rules as soon as possible.
The black cat's agile figure disappeared at the edge of the street, and a few hoarse cries were heard from the shadows high above the city.
Tang Lingnan, who was complaining to Lu Chudan about the troubles caused by the two troublemakers at home, suddenly felt her eyelids twitch. She touched her eyes and saw her left eye twitching three times and her right eye twitching three times. What does this mean?
Lu Chudan took a sip of milk tea and asked curiously: "Nannan, you actually asked them to clean up. Can they understand? You know, after all, it's just a kitten and a little crow."
I don’t understand... Tang Lingnan couldn’t do anything about not understanding. She was just too angry and didn’t want to look at this annoying scene anymore, so she ran away in anger.
Tang Lingnan suddenly felt sad. Perhaps this was the necessary growth process for raising a cat. She had not realized it before because Samuel was too sensible, but in the end, he gave it back to her.
The kid has grown up and learned to destroy the house. I am tired.jpg
Tang Lingnan was about to say something when her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. She pulled it out and realized how unlucky she'd been today. She said to Lu Chudan dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Xiaodan, I can't go to the library with you. My counselor called me unexpectedly. Seriously, what can't be discussed online?"
"It's okay. I can do it alone. Bye, Nannan."
"Bye, Xiaodan."
After Lu Chudan and Tang Lingnan waved goodbye, she walked alone on the campus streets. Quanzhou University attached great importance to greenery. Looking down from the sky, the lush forest surrounding the campus was incompatible with the surrounding concrete jungle, yet inexplicably harmonious.
Lu Chudan passed by a man in a white shirt. Her eyes inadvertently fell on the man's exposed, overly pale skin, and then quickly retracted her eyes.
He must be a tourist entering the school. What a young and handsome guy, Lu Chudan thought, and ignored the passerby.
Behind her, a man with pale skin who looked like a non-human stopped. He touched the slightly warm relic given by the monk in his pocket, turned his head and glanced from a distance. A hint of blood red appeared in his dark eyes.
No...but there is a lingering scent...could it be this place?
He smiled thoughtfully. Although he was handsome, this smile made people feel cold and fearful. He tilted his head and said, "You noticed it too, didn't you? It's a good resentment. It seems that there will be a sweet snack tonight."
Although there was no one on his shoulders, bursts of laughter could be heard. Passersby suddenly felt a little cold, and they quickly covered themselves and left in a hurry.
"Captain, look." The woman with neat short hair looked nervous and took out a document and handed it to Cheng Kaige.
Cheng Kaige took the document and looked through it carefully: "This is...wasn't the E-level vengeful spirit dealt with by the local executor in Quancheng half a month ago?"
The short-haired woman shook her head: "Captain, you know, I have the bloodline of the Black Cat. I think this matter is not simple."
The black cat is a psychic that can ward off evil spirits. As for the resentful spirits, Cheng Kaige trusts the judgment of his teammates. He looked at the document again.
"Su Shanyan, a student in dormitory 404, building 9 of Quancheng University, jumped from the roof of the Science and Technology Building at 4:44 AM on April 4th... Wait, why is this time so clear?"
The short-haired woman said helplessly: "Captain, it says above that she jumped within the range of the surveillance camera opposite the science and technology building."
"Oh... the student died on the spot. We learned that the student had been bullied in the dormitory for a long time and had depression tendencies. Combined with the clues at the scene, it was determined to be suicide..." Cheng Kaige frowned as he read.
A month ago, after enduring long-term bullying from her roommates, a student named Su Shanyan finally became overwhelmed and committed suicide by jumping from a building. Strangely, she chose the perfect moment, flashing a terrifyingly twisted smile to the surveillance camera directly in front of her before finally leaping from the top floor of the science and technology building, feeling completely satisfied.
Everyone who saw that video was genuinely horrified by that laugh.
But the evidence was irrefutable, indicating suicide, and the police closed the case as such. Although everyone knew why she took her own life, the school could do nothing about it, other than sternly admonishing her three roommates. Furthermore, one of them was the daughter of a chairman who had donated a laboratory building to Quanzhou University.
This incident should have been forgotten, but seven days after her death, a series of terrifying events unfolded in Dormitory 404. The three residents all reported dreams of being chased by a female ghost with untied hair, who chopped off their heads with a knife. Besides these dreams, red, bloody water, smelling fishy and foul, frequently emanated from the faucet; lights flickered and creaked; and, in the dead of night, the sound of someone sharpening a knife could be heard in the corridor.
Originally, the school only thought that the three people were mentally ill. When these symptoms did not disappear when they were transferred to other dormitories, they thought that the problem was with these three people. But a few days later, not only these three people, but also the dormitory next door had the same hallucinations. The disease spread to more and more dormitories affected. Only then did the school pay attention to the matter and report it.
Afterwards, Quancheng's Special Processing Bureau sent someone to investigate, and they discovered that Su Shanyan had actually mutated into a vengeful spirit due to her deep resentment. Fortunately, it was discovered not too late, and the vengeful spirit had not yet really harmed anyone. After the special personnel removed it, the incident file was sealed in the archives room.
"Xiaojing, what do you mean?" Cheng Kaige said seriously.
Wu Xiaojing also nodded seriously: "Captain, I suspect that the vengeful spirit has not been successfully removed."
Cheng Kaige immediately stood up and said, "Notify the team members to assemble and head to the ninth dormitory building of Quancheng University immediately!"
"Hey, you are..."
Lu Chudan opened her eyes wide in surprise. Less than half a day had passed, and she obviously had not forgotten this passerby who had left a deep impression on her.
The young man didn't care about her reaction. He looked at the dormitory building and nodded his chin: "The girls' dormitory seems a bit inconvenient."
"But it's okay," his eyes reflected the thick black fog that enveloped the building, "Soon, this place will become a ghost town, so there's no need to worry about it."
He then looked at Lu Chudan who looked confused: "Are you a student of this building?" Although it was a question, he was very sure.
Lu Chudan's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she pursed her lips and nodded.
The pale young man smiled suddenly and introduced himself politely, "I'm Xiang Gucheng. Raising cubs is hard work, and now my babies want a little snack. To avoid alerting the enemy, could you please be my key? In exchange, I will protect you during this time."
...Does this person in front of me really need a key?
Lu Chudan didn't ask the question. She was about to tap the emergency number on her phone in her pocket when she suddenly stopped and asked, "Is it... dangerous here?"
"Danger," Xiang Gucheng pondered, then spoke truthfully, "Can you tell the difference in the threat posed to you by two ants of different species? I can't. But for your nascent world, perhaps, they could be considered a small boss."
Your world...
Lu Chudan pulled her hand out of her pocket. She couldn't let Tang Lingnan fall into danger.
"A wise choice." Xiang Gucheng smiled.
The dark clouds completely obscured the moon. There was no wind, no stars, and no moon. Lu Chudan then noticed that at some point, the only ones left here were her and the man in front of her named Xiang Gucheng.
"Where are the others? Why are they gone?" Lu Chudan tried to remain calm.
Xiang Gucheng said casually, "It was pulled into the ghost realm a long time ago. No one within a certain range can escape. What you just saw was just an illusion created by the ghost realm to attract living people in."
“Why don’t I have it?”
"Because your talent is a little higher than those mediocre people, your resistance will naturally be higher as well."
Lu Chudan cautiously used her student card to open the dormitory building's door as usual.
As soon as she entered, she noticed something different. The floor, which was usually swept clean by the aunt, was now covered with stains of dried blood. The walls, which had been freshly painted not long ago, were now dirty and dilapidated. The closed doors in the corridor were like wild beasts, staring at this living person with their mouths wide open and greedy.
In order to ease the fear in her heart, she tried to talk to the man next to her, at least he was a human being: "Why do you need me to open the door for you?"
"I've already explained it, haven't I? I need the key. I know what you want to ask. If you rush in, this rare little snack might escape. Besides, even ghosts need the right emotions to taste delicious, don't they?"
Glancing at the smile on the man's lips, Lu Chudan swallowed unconsciously. She realized that the man in front of her might not be a "good person". Is there any difference between ghosts and humans to him?
She stopped talking and just followed in silence.
"Damn, I'm too late. The ghost domain can only be formed by ghosts above level C!" Cheng Kaige's face looked extremely ugly.
"The survival rate of ordinary people who enter the ghost realm is only 30%." Wu Xiaojing said in a low voice.
Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
Cheng Kaige threw out a golden talisman, which formed an invisible wall in the air. The fluctuations in the space changed, and a door leading to the ghost realm was opened.
"All team members, follow me to rescue people!" Cheng Kaige took the lead and stepped into the door. He clenched his fists. The ghost domain that could unfold to this extent must be of more than just C level.
At this moment, Tang Lingnan, who knew nothing about it, was staring at the innocent little crow. She frowned and said, "You mean, Xiao Hei has found a new owner and doesn't plan to go home?"
The little crow nodded as a matter of course and chirped cutely, imitating the chicks that had just hatched.
Tang Lingnan felt something was amiss. She had a feeling Mercury was in retrograde today. She pulled out a note that was supposedly left by Xiao Hei's new owner, tore it up with a sigh, and patted the little crow's head. "Be good, stop it. I don't like this kind of prank."
She looked at the dark sky outside the window. Although she did not believe the little crow's farce, it was indeed unprecedented that Samuel had not returned so late.

What's wrong with the little crow causing a little trouble?
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
