Chapter 158

158. Do you want to see my chest?

“Hmm?” Suddenly, the security guard was startled and quickly turned around.

Boom—!

Another bolt of lightning exploded in the sky.

She put away the dagger in her hand and stepped over the body beneath her.

Ouxi Wei pressed down on her hat, stepping blood-cold deeper into the depths of the Academy of Sciences.

…

“Don’t blame me, blame yourself for blocking me.”

Due to the power outage, the Academy of Sciences was pitch black.

Ouxi Wei muttered as she slowly approached.

She tightly gripped the dagger in her hand, ready to strike without mercy if anything stirred before her!

She had no way back!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Outside, there was a continuous rain, mixed with repeated thunderclaps.

Ouxi Wei’s footsteps were remarkably clear in the unusually quiet Academy of Sciences.

Her eyes darted around, gradually furrowing her brows.

“…” Tap!

Her steps suddenly halted, and Ouxi Wei silently retreated one step.

Then came the second, third… but halfway through, she clenched her teeth and resolutely stepped back onto the stairs.

Creak—

In the dim light, the institute’s door slowly opened.

Seeing the pitch-blackness ahead, Ouxi Wei picked up the flashlight she had taken from the security guard.

She pressed the button.

Whoosh! The room suddenly became incredibly bright.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

“Who?!”

At that moment, the lights flickered on like dominoes.

Ouxi Wei quickly turned around, only to suddenly see a large net rushing towards her.

Tap—!

The net instantly closed, swallowing her whole.

“You tricked me! You really tricked me?!!!”

Anger made Ouxi Wei roar.

She swung her dagger, but at the same time, Su Zeheng and others rushed over.

“Ouxi Wei, you can’t run anymore!”

Buzz…!

The four members of the Light Magic Society all knelt down, and four beams of light converged from four directions.

Whoosh—!

Just as Ouxi Wei tore open the net and prepared to rush out, she realized four forces suddenly enveloped her body, binding her like ropes.

She couldn’t move!

“Let me go!!!” She gritted her teeth, maintaining her escape posture, “You bunch of…”

Tap!

A white light flashed, and Wen Han, wearing a security guard uniform, retracted her palm with a cold smile. “Behave yourself.”

“You…” Feeling a burning pain on her face, Ouxi Wei widened her eyes, “Are you the security guard from before?”

“To be precise, you killed my clone,” Wen Han smiled faintly, frowning, “What? Do you want to kill me too?”

She suddenly raised her hand again, but Su Zeheng stopped her.

“Ouxi Wei, please cooperate with us,” Su Zeheng stepped forward, pulling out his credentials, “From now on, you are formally under arrest!”

…

Tap—!

In a small secret room within the Light Magic Society.

As the lights suddenly came on, Ouxi Wei instinctively closed her eyes.

“Now behaving yourself?”

Wen Han pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the bound person.

Su Zeheng hesitated for a moment before turning around. “Old Bai, get another chair.”

After a moment, the two sat opposite Ouxi Wei.

Su Zeheng could hardly contain himself any longer. “Is there something in your research that allows two souls to switch bodies?”

“Soul swapping?” Ouxi Wei looked up in surprise, then her expression suddenly changed.

She anxiously glanced at her body, then suddenly looked at Wen Han and the others. “Give me back what you took!”

Wen Han closed her eyes. “Because of your potion, our souls switched. Now tell us how to switch back.”

“What?!”

Ouxi Wei’s reaction was suspicious; she stood still, seemingly lost in thought.

“Oh?” Seeing this, Wen Han was also curious, but then she understood. “If you can’t save Hu Ming, do you plan to swap souls with him and die in his place?”

Ouxi Wei clenched her fists, remaining silent.

“Tell me!” Su Zeheng continued patiently, “How do we switch back?”

There was a brief silence in the room.

After a while, Wen Han finally picked up a leather bag. “Do you know what’s in here?”

Ouxi Wei slowly lifted her head. “…What?”

“The Life Core.”

“Hahahaha!” Ouxi Wei laughed loudly, “Do you think I would believe that?”

“Hu Ming has less than a month left. Do you believe that?” Wen Han replied calmly.

Ouxi Wei’s laughter abruptly stopped.

She remained silent for a long time but shook her head. “I don’t believe it. How could you possibly give me the Life Core so easily.”

“After all, we don’t want to stay in each other’s bodies forever,” Wen Han glanced at Su Zeheng. “If you tell us how to switch back, I can give you the Life Core, but whether or not you will be released is not guaranteed.”

The more conditions there are, the more real the difficult “answer” seems.

Su Zeheng originally disagreed with the deception, but given his approaching period, he had no choice but to “collude” with Wen Han.

The room fell silent once more. Finally, Ouxi Wei looked up. “I still don’t believe you.”

“Then you’ll be locked up for life, and Hu Ming will soon die.”

“You—” Ouxi Wei stood up in agitation, nearly knocking over her chair.

But without saying a word, she eventually sat back down.

“…If I agree to you, will you really give me the Life Core?”

Despite knowing it was likely a lie, Ouxi Wei still asked weakly.

Wen Han nodded, placing the leather paper on the table. “Tell me! How do we switch back?”

She glanced at Ouxi Wei, suddenly smiling slightly. “How about this, if you tell me the method, I will personally hand you the core, how does that sound?”

Looking at her, Ouxi Wei’s expression changed.

After a moment, she finally sneered.

…

Boom—!!!

Suddenly, an explosion echoed in the small room.

A white light flashed, and two figures weakly got up from the ground, immediately checking their bodies.

“I’m back?!” Su Zeheng was overjoyed, “I’m finally back in my own body.”

“Back?” Wen Han quickly checked, and upon finding her body restored, she couldn’t help but smile, “It feels good to be back in my own body~”

She smiled slightly, suddenly looking at Su Zeheng.

“Hmm?” He was stunned, seeing Wen Han grab his collar, “What are you doing?”

“Uncle, do you want to see my chest?”

“Huh… What are you doing?!”

With a flash, Wen Han pulled down the collar, revealing a black bra.

Su Zeheng’s face changed, and he quickly closed his eyes.

…

At the same time.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

“Why is there no power?”

The Light Magic Society suddenly plunged into darkness as all the lights went out.

Fat Brother and the others suddenly looked up, instantly sensing a murderous intent.

“…Be careful!”
