I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends – Chapter 855

Chapter 21: Date Turns into Overtime

After exchanging contact information with Dorethea, Luxianbei casually took out his phone, added Dorethea’s phone number to his contacts, and then checked the time.

It was 11:47 PM.

It was almost midnight, time to find an opportunity to sneak away.

“Little Orange, it’s about that time, let me teach you one more thing, okay?”

“Mm-hmm!” Dorethea nodded seriously, “Please go ahead, teacher!”

“Dorethea, you must know that whether it’s people or urban legends, energy is limited,” Luxianbei said earnestly. “So, don’t let anything interfere with your rest time.”

“In other words, maintaining a regular schedule is beneficial for improving learning and work efficiency. Don’t think that because you’re young, you can squander your energy. Like me, I never go to bed later than midnight.”

Dorethea looked at Luxianbei, pondered for a moment, her eyes rolled a bit, and she glanced at the café’s clock, displaying a look of realization on her face, “Mm-hmm, I understand, teacher. You should hurry back to rest, okay?”

“Yes, we’ll keep in touch another day.” Luxianbei nodded in satisfaction, “I will be in Shancheng for a while, we have plenty of time.”

What does it mean to be someone who can be taught?

This is what it means to be someone who can be taught!

Unlike a certain stinky sister who is so bad at games that it’s maddening, yet is still oblivious, insisting on dragging others along for “another round,” no matter how many hints are dropped.

After standing up and leaving, Dorethea stood on the street at night, turned back to glance at the café’s door, recalling what Luxianbei had just told her, and clenched her little fist slightly.

Even if there are visible benefits, don’t rush to claim them; let others go first and observe the situation. Because visible benefits might not actually be beneficial, and could even be dangerous.

When it comes to tasks assigned from above, if they seem relatively easy, drag them out as long as possible, until the deadline approaches, then complete them quickly. After all, nobody knows if the next task will be that simple again.

Although Dorethea thought that her teacher’s words seemed a bit timid and lacked ambition, she could tell from his every word that he was genuinely thinking of her.

“Don’t worry, teacher, I will remember your teachings!”

After watching Dorethea leave, Luxianbei leaned back in his seat at the café and let out a long sigh. “Perhaps this isn’t so bad?”

While he couldn’t come up with a guaranteed way to keep Dorethea completely safe in the Solar Eclipse Society, he could think of ways to ensure she was relatively safe.

In fact, as the second-in-command sent by the Solar Eclipse Society president—Adelaide Phoenix’s most valued newcomer, Dorethea’s current situation was still quite secure.

“If she obeys my words,” Luxianbei thought to himself.

Yes, Luxianbei imparted without reservation the experiences he summarized from being a mole in the Siye Society to Dorethea. In a way, it could be considered quite the responsibility as a teacher.

What’s so good about being cautious?

Ha, others want to learn, but Luxianbei might not necessarily teach!

If Dorethea can bide her time in Shancheng during this period, she not only won’t encounter danger, but might even flourish in the Solar Eclipse Society.

She just has to do nothing; Zhang Yi, due to his relationship with Phoenix, will ensure that during her time in Shancheng, she won’t lose a limb due to unforeseen accidents.

On the contrary, if Dorethea, who came to Shancheng for an internship, frequently disappears from Zhang Yi’s sight and is often found mingling with some witch or urban legend, it could draw unnecessary suspicion, making her situation dangerous.

“Sigh, I really am a witch who easily brings misfortune to others! If I want to obtain useful information from Dorethea, I can only take my time.”

Luxianbei half-heartedly and half-mockingly commented, slowly taking out his phone and sending a message to Jiang Li.

After leaving CHARMCULB and returning to Happy Pot Restaurant, Jiang Li, Lin Kule, and the on-duty operatives for the night, along with the reserve operative Mai Mai responsible for collating the results from the Special Action Team’s investigation, gathered together to exchange information about today’s findings.

In summary, the informant told me two main points: the first is that X God did collaborate with the Solar Eclipse Society, but it seems to have collapsed recently; the second point is that X God’s followers, for some unknown reason in the past year or especially the past few months, have shown a particularly fervent interest in environmental protection.

After Lin Kule finished speaking, she turned to the tall and pale young man sitting diagonally across from her.

This man, who appeared somewhat pale, was on duty tonight, and he was also the operative responsible for autopsying Wang Han’s body earlier.

“You should have all seen the autopsy results for Wang Han’s body, so I won’t elaborate further,” he said in a rather high-pitched voice. “What I want to add is that after completing the autopsy, I conducted a small experiment.”

“I extracted abnormally active tumor tissue from Wang Han and transplanted it into live mice. Not only did there not appear to be any rejection reactions, but it also spread throughout the mice’s bodies in a very short time.”

“Even stranger, despite cancer cells ordinarily spreading to various organs, in all three mice tested with the same experiment, they all inevitably developed respiratory tumors.”

Hearing this, Mai Mai’s eyes brightened as if she had discovered something new and could not help but interrupt, “Respiratory carcinogenesis? Doesn’t this indirectly suggest that Wang Han died from X God’s Night Erosion?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Kule looked at Mai Mai and shook her head, “We can’t make such a judgment yet. Although fog could indeed trigger respiratory cancer, according to the latest edition of The Book of Siye, X God’s powers do not include causing lung cancer.”

“Not necessarily,” Jiang Li squinted his eyes and said, “The last edition of The Book of Siye was released three years ago; during this time, X God’s powers could very well have changed. If that’s the case, its collaboration with the Solar Eclipse Society might be related to the change in its powers.”

Lin Kule nodded in thought and then turned to Mai Mai and asked, “Is there any other information from the Mai Biao side?”

“Well, there is, but I don’t know how important it is, which is why I didn’t rush to mention it earlier,” Mai Mai pouted.

“Let’s hear it?” Jiang Li tilted his head.

“The Special Action Team discovered that aside from Zhang Yi, on the day of the fire at the medical university laboratory, Wang Han contacted a student,” Mai Mai said, placing an ID photo on the table.

The photo was of a round-faced, freckled white girl with orange short hair.

“After visiting, the Special Action Team learned that this student is an exchange student from England, somewhat reclusive, and rarely interacts with classmates or other international students.”

“An English girl?” Jiang Li slightly adjusted his eyebrows, “Where is she now?”

The first large-scale urban legend incident triggered after the Haze God’s arrival was the London Fog incident, and at such a sensitive time with the Haze God descending upon Shancheng, the appearance of an English person during the investigation inevitably led to some subtle associations.

Mai Mai’s expression became somewhat awkward, and she quickly produced a few more photos, “I was just about to say, that girl is dead.”

“The Special Action Team found the girl’s body in an old car near a coal mine in the outskirts, ugh, near the falling water cave coal mine that Kule just mentioned.”

“Her mouth was connected by a soft tube, and her mouth and nose were not only sewn up but glued shut, allowing her to breathe only through that pipe, the other end of which was connected to the car’s exhaust.”

“d*ath by suffocation?” Jiang Li asked.

“Yes, d*ath by asphyxiation,” Mai Mai nodded and added, “Moreover, there were no signs of struggle before her d*ath, and it looked like a s*icide—it’s very likely she was bewitched by some urban legend.”

“Offering,” Lin Kule interjected with that word, glancing at everyone, “My intuition tells me she was offering.”

After a brief silence, Jiang Li asked, “Has the owner of that car been checked on the registry?”

“It’s been investigated. The owner is a man named Qin Qiuming, and he seems to be the boyfriend of the deceased girl,” Mai Mai replied. “However, the Special Action Team has not yet found Qin Qiuming.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li nodded in thought and fell silent.

After exchanging information, the Special Action Team temporarily sealed off the Falling Water Cave coal mine for investigation, and the three operatives from the Siye Society and one reserve operative dispersed.

After the meeting, Lin Kule enthusiastically arranged to prepare hot pot for her three colleagues as a late-night snack, while Jiang Li, who was rebooting his phone, also received a message from Luxianbei.

Wang Buliu: “It’s about time, is it convenient to meet alone now?”

Miaomiao Sauce: “Sure.”

Wang Buliu: “How about under the Seven Stars Slope in Bazhong District?”

Miaomiao Sauce: “Why go there?”

Although Jiang Li had never been to Bazhong District, when Lin Kule introduced the areas in Shancheng known for urban legend incidents, she mentioned that area filled with many dilapidated buildings from the last century.

From a certain perspective, this meeting could be considered a date, right?

Why would a date need to go to such a place, surrounded by eerie old buildings, a spot that could be suspected of housing an urban legend?

Could that guy have read some weird guides online about taking girls to haunted houses for dates? Jiang Li thought.

Wang Buliu: “I heard some rumors; there might be leads regarding the urban legend you’re investigating over there. However, the source isn’t very reliable; we can only check it out first to know for sure.”

Jiang Li,

So, is the date turning into overtime?

It seems it’s not necessarily a bad thing?

Who says fighting urban legends can’t be considered a date?

Thinking of this, Jiang Li unknowingly recalled the experiences from the previous few times she had acted alongside Luxianbei.

Miaomiao Sauce: “Okay, see you later.”

After replying to the message, Jiang Li turned to look at Lin Kule, who was busy placing ingredients into the copper pot, frowned slightly, and said softly, “Kule, I won’t eat anymore. I want to head back to rest first.”

Although new leads might have emerged, she decided to keep this information from Lin Kule for the time being.

After all, she learned the information from the Calamity Witch on the list of the Siye Society’s Red Channel, and she couldn’t ascertain the authenticity of the information yet.

She wasn’t like Lin Kule, having that kind of supernatural intuition; trying to explain the source of the information would be quite troublesome.

It would be better to wait until useful information came to light before telling Lin Kule. Jiang Li thought.
