Chapter 73): Trying to Escape? Absolutely Not! (1)

After a long time, Lu Yibei finally came back to her senses.

Even though she was used to being forcefully transported to a dreamscape, the horror and despair still lingered.

Oh shit.

She uttered a swear and calmed down the chaotic emotions in her heart, then lowered her head to check her body.

Swallowing an entire bowl of cores made her experience Daydreams life like a movie. Surely she didnt do anything strange in her unconsciousness.

Thinking about it, she turned around and looked at the apparitions, who were silently waiting for her to wake up.

Their eyes were inexplicably strange.

Like a father awaiting his wife to give birth.

Why are you all looking at me like that? Yibei asked. Did I do anything strange?

No, no! all of them said in unison.

Really?

Well, if you want to know that badly, the eyeball sneered. You-

Before it could speak, its companions pounced on it.

-did nothing! Yup! Nothing out of the ordinary! the wig said.

Eyeball! the dentures yelled at it. Keep quiet!

Is there something you guys are hiding from me? Lu Yibei frowned.

No, absolutely not! they said in unison.

Should we tell her that she was talking about embarrassing stuff she would do to her boyfriend? The apparitions gulped.

She might just die of embarrassment.

Yibei shrugged, then glanced at the remaining three cores in her bag.

Devouring Daydreams core alleviated some of her hunger, but she was still hungry.

What if I devour half of it again? She thought.

All she wanted to do was devour.

She had a hunch that if she were to devour something that had innate abilities, she would gain their abilities too.

Rather than devouring, the more appropriate term would be plundering.

The lust to get more and become more was overpowering her.

To be honest

Judging from the chat records between Pharoah and Daydream, Pharoah seemed scared to go to Shihekou High School.

But what made him change and give the opposite answer in just ten minutes?

Lu Yibei knew how to get the answer.

Taking out another core, she walked towards the kitchen.

Place the core on a chopping board. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Yibei remembered a famous saying.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

This time, Lu Yibei didnt add any other extra ingredients. After cutting the core of the ghost story into two pieces, she grabbed one of the pieces and swallowed it directly.

Mmph!

Yibei couldnt help but groan in pleasure as the spiritual energy flooded her body.

Once again, her thoughts became erratic, and her mind drifted with the wind.

And once again, she fell into a dreamscape.

This time, she is playing the role of the user known as [Bright.]

Brights childhood flashed by quickly, just as it did with Daydreams dreamscape.

When her consciousness slowed down, she opened her eyes once again.

She found herself in a classroom during recess. Each student had their own clique and was talking amongst themselves, but Bright was sitting alone in the corner.

The girls who committed suicide were from Dorm Room 401.

Oh my god. It was that kid named Zhao, right? I heard he did some weird things to them, forcing them to jump off the building.

Bright was taken aback when she overheard the conversation. She pretended to sleep on the desk and continued to eavesdrop.

She knew what happened in Room 401 that night. She lived next door.

Three jumped off the building, not four. There were only three bodies in front of the dorm; they found the fourth body not long after.

Where?

In the water tank on the roof of the dorm. Some people speculated that she escaped from that persons clutches by chance and fled to the roof. While hiding in the water tank, she drowned.

Hearing this, Brights body trembled.

She knew who that girl was.

Bright tuned out their conversation, albeit not voluntarily. She remembered the night well, and her brain was plagued by that fateful night.

The female dormitory of Shihekou High School was divided into two parts: a double room and quadruple rooms. Odd-numbered house numbers were four-person rooms, and even-numbered house numbers were double rooms.

Bright lives in Room 402, which has two rooms.

She lives alone, however.

Shihekou High School was a private, aristocratic school. Most students come from rich families, but many among them enrolled with their good grades alone.

Because of their grades, they were also given privileges.

As long as they maintained their good grades, they could have room to themselves. The school handles all accommodation expenses, and frequent scholarships are also provided.

The school gives them these benefits, and the student helps to increase the schools reputation.

Bright enrolled with her grades, and she was very proud of it.

Perhaps it was due to her introverted yet unpleasant personality, but she was isolated. She found herself mirroring Zhao Ke, but at least she wasnt physically assaulted.

The only reason she had this room to herself was because her roommate couldnt handle her.

In that loneliness, she learnt alone, like a lone machine left in a world with no humans.
