I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends – Chapter 44

Chapter 7 I’ll tell you a story too?

Half an hour before Luxianbei witnessed Gu Qiqi being pulled into the underground by an urban legend.

Jingyi Apartment.

Wearing the coat that Mr. Rabbit had cursed, Luxianbei turned on the lights and stood in front of the mirror at the entrance, looking herself up and down.

In the mirror, the girl was delicate and beautiful, with her petite body wrapped in a large red and white jacket, the long hem hanging down, revealing her legs, making her look like a little girl who had secretly put on her father’s coat, incredibly cute.

Cute? Why am I thinking like this about myself!?

A strange sense of shame rose in her heart, and Luxianbei’s face turned slightly red, her long hair spreading like red ink dripping on white paper, diffusing a hint of red. Then the coat on her body began to struggle restlessly.

“Uh… Sorry!” Luxianbei rubbed the coat, took a few deep breaths, and turned around to open the guitar bag placed at the entrance.

With her hands clasped together, she bowed to the Ming King Statue and took it out.

After transforming due to the urban legends, her seemingly slender and soft arms had much more strength than Luxianbei imagined. The Ming King Statue, which had been somewhat difficult to move with two hands before, was now easily lifted with one hand.

Due to underestimating it and using too much strength, she nearly fell.

After steadying herself, she muttered to herself, “I’ll just go with it for now!”

Luxianbei had encountered very few urban legends, totaling no more than ten, five of which were just the fake ones from home.

As a result, her understanding of the combat power of urban legends was quite vague.

This made her a bit worried about not being able to overcome her hunting target.

Although she had a “glorious achievement” of burning down a resort hotel by herself, that was in an abnormal state.

After that, she tried but didn’t even know how to conjure up a fireball the size of a palm!

This is ridiculous! How can a witch not know how to use spells!

She could only inexplicably generate heat! Simply a humanoid self-moving roast meat maiden!

So, to be safe, Luxianbei decided to bring the Ming King Statue.

At least the Ming King Statue was a D-rank spirit energy item, which should increase her combat power to some extent, Luxianbei thought.

However…

How did Water Brother get a D-rank spirit energy item?

And even gave it to me as a gift—could he also be a member of the Siye Society?

When Luxianbei was at the hospital, her daily thoughts revolved around how to fool the doctor and the little maid Ahua under their noses, preventing her identity from being exposed.

It wasn’t until she returned home, taking out the Ming King Statue from the guitar bag, and recalling its origin that she suddenly realized there was something very wrong with Bai Kai!

She had to find him and ask clearly! Luxianbei thought, tucking the Ming King Statue under her arm, turning the doorknob, and stepping out.

Holding the Ming King Statue, she descended the stairs of the apartment building and walked onto a straight road in the community.

Luxianbei gazed ahead, exhaled a breath of turbid air, then began to run forward.

She ran faster and faster, the scenery in her peripheral vision flying by, and at the moment her speed peaked, she stomped her foot on the ground, launching herself into the air like a cannonball, a little trail of flames following behind her.

Then…

Like a cannonball, she arced through the air and plunged into the community’s artificial lake.

A few minutes later.

Luxianbei flagged down a taxi at the crossroads near University City.

“To Linjiang Avenue, I’m in a hurry, please hurry, thanks.”

The car started, and Luxianbei sat in the back seat, holding the Ming King Statue, looking at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought. The night was deep, and the glass reflected the delicate lines of her profile.

If what that mysterious girl said about me possibly destroying the world in the future is true, does she already know that Water Brother is a member of the Siye Society, which is why she doesn’t want me to conflict with them?

Although Luxianbei outwardly looked like she couldn’t wait for Bai Kai to d*e, she still cared about him. After all, after her father’s d*ath, Bai Kai had become the only person she was close to in this world.

If possible, Luxianbei hoped Bai Kai could keep playing around forever, of course, preferably without getting involved in her life while he did.

However, the current situation seemed a bit difficult!

If the incident described in that newspaper was indeed caused by an urban legend, then False Teeth could notice it, and there was no reason the Siye Society wouldn’t notice.

It seems that once she gets there and finds members of the Siye Society lying in wait, she can only concede. Luxianbei thought, gently sighing.

Ever since Luxianbei got into the car, the taxi driver had been glancing at her through the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak. After several rounds of this, he finally couldn’t help but open his mouth after she sighed.

“Young lady, you’re out so late, do your family know? Have you encountered any troubles?”

Luxianbei’s attire and the way she held a bronze statue were really strange, making it hard for him not to pay attention.

“Ah?” Luxianbei was taken aback, not retracting her dull gaze, looking out the window as she replied expressionlessly, “It’s fine. I’m the only one at home now.”

“And there’s nothing troublesome. I just encountered a lot of things I’ve never seen before recently, so my brain’s a bit overwhelmed.”

“Haha!” The driver seemed to be an easy-going person. Hearing Luxianbei say this, he smiled and said, “No worries, that’s how life is, just take it slow! Rushing won’t help.”

“By the way, what are you doing on Linjiang Avenue at this late hour? That’s not a good place!”

“Did you know? There are urban legends happening there! I heard that a few days ago, a young man was night running there when he encountered a strange person who was all swollen from being soaked, and then he went missing. When the police found him, he was tangled in water plants, floating under the cross-river bridge.”

“He didn’t have any expression of a drowning victim’s pain on his face, instead he was smiling, looking very happy, as if he hadn’t encountered anything terrifying and was peacefully asleep instead.”

“Do you know what’s the most bizarre? The most bizarre part is, when the forensic doctor autopsied his body, a lot of silt was discovered in his respiratory tract, and his bl**d vessels were full of fish eggs, which were still alive, some of which had even hatched!”

“…” Luxianbei felt her heart race a bit, withdrawing her gaze from the window, just as she was about to say something. Suddenly, she saw the familiar face of the driver in the rearview mirror, and couldn’t help but freeze slightly.

d*mn! Why is it you again!?

I thought it was strange! At this hour, a passenger goes to a place where people have died, and this driver isn’t panicking at all!

It’s always telling spooky stories about urban legends in the car—how does that benefit you by scaring passengers?

That’s right, the driver she encountered was the very one who took her to the Flower Language Sunshine Resort Hotel last time!

“Haha, young lady, were you scared? Actually, that story I just told was adapted from a real event with a lot of artistic processing, so it can’t be taken fully seriously.”

“Oh! I wasn’t scared; instead, I found it quite interesting.” Luxianbei lightly replied, then shifted the topic, “To repay the uncle for telling me an interesting story, I’ll tell you a story too?”

“Oh? That would be nice! To be honest, besides driving a taxi, I also do a midnight radio show. After I drop you off, I’ll head back to broadcast! Listening to more stories will help me gather material!”

“Mm.” Luxianbei nodded slightly, recalling an urban legend novel she had read before, deconstructing and recombining its content, adding a bit of detail. Then she lowered her voice slightly and began to speak slowly.

“Long ago, near the cross-river bridge, there was a couple of fishermen who had a daughter born with white hair. Seeing their daughter’s strange appearance, they worried about her future and arranged an early betrothal for her.”

“As time passed, their daughter became more and more beautiful, the couple regretted not wanting to marry her off to the family they had arranged a betrothal with, but they didn’t know that the daughter had long fallen in love with that silly boy. Soon after, the silly boy tragically met with an accident, they intended to cancel the engagement, hoping for a happy resolution.”

“Little did they know that on the day the silly boy was buried, their daughter secretly wore the silly boy’s coat, climbed into the coffin, and was buried together with him. Staying in the dark and closed coffin, not knowing how long it passed, she regretted it, feeling very hungry and wanting to eat something, then…”

Luxianbei paused, as if intentionally omitting certain details, and continued, “In short…she had a fulfilling meal.”

“Ha, haha…”

Feeling the temperature in the car inexplicably rising, the driver awkwardly chuckled a few times, wiping the sweat off his forehead. Glancing at Luxianbei through the rearview mirror, he saw a delicate and beautiful face that was expressionless and lifeless, causing his heart to jump.

“It’s, it’s quite interesting, huh!” he weakly said.

“Mm, I think so too.” Luxianbei replied.

Although it felt a bit embarrassing to create a story based on herself, she had to admit she had a talent for storytelling! At least better than her father!

Luxianbei thought, glancing outside the window, they were almost at Linjiang Avenue.

“By the way, uncle, didn’t you just ask me what I was doing on Linjiang Avenue? I…”

“I’m going home!”

“Skree—!” The harsh sound of brake pads grinding against tires suddenly erupted as the taxi stopped abruptly in the middle of the road, white smoke billowing from the tires.

“I’m not going there anymore, I’m not going any further, please get out! If you don’t get out, I’m calling the police!”

Seeing this, Luxianbei couldn’t help but chuckle madly in her heart, then expressionlessly said, “Uh, just wait, I’ll pay you.”

“No need, just get out, I don’t want your money, go!” the driver shouted, his voice trembling.

Who takes this money? What if it suddenly turns into ghost money!

“Bang!” Luxianbei got out of the car with the Ming King Statue in her arms. As soon as she closed the door, she heard the engine roar beside her, and the next moment, a strong wind swept through as the taxi sped away.

From afar, Luxianbei saw a line of text scrolling on the taxi’s rooftop display—[SOS!!!]

Luxianbei, “… Did I go a bit too far?”

Standing near the entrance of Linjiang Avenue, watching the taxi disappear, Luxianbei frowned.

Is it an illusion? Why does it feel like her hunger has alleviated somewhat?
