I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Chapter 167: Close Your Eyes, Hope to Die!

The deafening buzz soon whittled down in their ears, returning to the putrid gushing of the sewer. Miss Rabbit couldnt help but feel a sense of tranquillity despite the murky waters.

Meow!

A shrill meow echoed, followed by countless deafening meows that started to fade away into the distance.

And there he goes, Miss Rabbit said coldly, crossing her arms. What do we do now? It seems like your little friend doesnt want to meet us anymore.

I assume you were the one who set off the explosion? Miss Rabbit continued as she interrogated the man. Isnt it funny how we wont be working together anymore after tonight is over?

Aha, Miss Rabbit, youre funny, the man replied as he scratched the back of his head. I did not, and the elders never told me what to do if things were to go wrongno matter, we can look for other urban legends to help us.

Miss Rabbit scoffed. She couldnt believe he missed her sarcastic remark.

This mans brain is definitely something Im starting to doubt whether hes human or not.

She thought for a while, glanced sideways at the man, and said contemptuously, Since the elders didnt give you instructions, follow my lead.

As she spoke, she could feel the residual remains of the explosion on her high heels; there was only one threatening entity left on campus, and her eyes widened in recognition.

The thief! The thief who stole my egg!

Her eyes flashed a threatening scarlet, and her rabbit ears shot up from her hair. Sharp nails grew from her fingertips, and her body started to tremble uncontrollably.

All she wanted to do was kill that damned thief and take back what was hers.

However, her brain stopped her; the psychic explosion had exceeded the upper limit of what she could bear, which frightened her a little. She couldnt believe a newly born Witch was able to beat the other entities above ground.

How? How is she this strong? She mustve eaten a lot of cores, so she must have gone insane by now, but how?

She deduced that something else must be guiding her. And the heist was planned out for a long time.

The man simply watched Miss Rabbit stomping on the ground as she calmed down on her way out, and he couldnt help but ask, Miss Rabbit? Im waiting for your orders.

We have to go up, she gritted through her teeth. If possible, I need you to help me kill something.

With danger comes opportunitythat Witch must be weakened after fighting the other entities above ground. If she is weak, then Miss Rabbit will pounce on the opportunity and

For a very long time, she has been unable to gauge how powerful the man before her was. Being able to hide your psychic presence means that you are powerful.

And judging from his weak intellect, it must mean that he is incredibly strong! Its difficult to comprehend the unknown, which inevitably takes a toll on the human brain.

You want me to help you kill something? Hold on, I need to ask the elders.

He flipped through his post-it notes and nodded, They said I can help you if it doesnt affect the mission. Come on, who are we going to kill? I cant wait!

A strange glimmer flashed in his turbid and numb eyes as she spoke as if he were no longer a puppet for the elders of the Eclipse Society, and Miss Rabbit couldnt help but shudder as his mere presence started to become terrifying. Were just going to take a look.

The cold rain drenched Lu Yibei wet, and whenever the wind blew, she would shiver from the piercing winds biting into her bones, and she cursed the fire in her body that was unable to keep her warm.

The great powers of nature seemed to overpower the fiery soul within her.

She pouted and wanted to just slingshot herself back home. However, she felt a little uneasy leaving the statue and the charms behindthey were psychic items, after all. If children were to play with them, itd be troublesome, and the greenery here may be affected.

And also the headless girl. She was, admittedly, worried for her. She didnt want a wild dog to come and snatch her head away.

Squatting by the headless girl, she considered burying a hole for her or propping her up in the leafy branches of the trees, and suddenly, a loud whoosh could be heard near them.

A huge figure phased in the centre of the path, accompanied by a strong, burning pain in her eyes.

The figure was wearing a dark raincoat, and the hood of the raincoat was down, revealing half a face wearing a low-quality mask, concealing their identity.

Under the raincoat was a pair of maroon rain boots, with smoke emitting from them.

A metal club wrapped with barbed wire flashed with every single lightning strike as if a mercenary from hell was here to hunt them down.

She felt her heart drop to her stomach as she stared at the figure. Could this be the one who hurt the headless girl?

The figure started to approach their hiding spot. She had to act fast; she stepped on the ground as hard as she could, loading her pistol with the precision that she had practised not long ago, and

Because of her sudden, hurried jump, she leapt too high and slammed head-first into the crown of branches above her before splatting face-first down onto a wider, sturdy branch.

Fuck! Its over for me! she squirmed as she flailed her limbs. Come one! Run! I need to stall and get away from here!

She raised her gun and pointed it at the approaching figure, but

Gu Qianqian stopped as her system started to scream and overload her thoughts.

Gu Qianqian! Were in danger! Gu Qianqian! Lets run! Gu Qianqian-

She became mildly annoyed as she stared at Lu Yibei, who was hanging on the branches: I think we need to help her

Its a trap, Im telling you! She may look cute, but its just something she put up! We cannot die in her hands! Not today! And

Gu Qianqian tuned the systems ramblings out, eyeing Yibei and the box of bamboo scrolls before her back and forth, saying, Well, its not too late for me to runand, didnt you say that its imperative that I get the bamboo scrolls, because without them, it would be impossible to save the world?

The system remained silent. She was right; those scrolls were too important for their mission, but danger still loomed, and

Gu Qianqian quickly skipped forward and picked up the box with both of her hands.

See? Nothing happened. Now, we have to help.

Click.

At this moment, there was a soft sound in the darkness, as if something had slipped from a branch overhead.

Although the sound was very subtle, the system could hear it all too well.

Its a trap!

She immediately phased backwards, only to see two or three charms falling from the sky as they plopped into the muddy puddle.

God damn it, I knew I shouldnt have trusted those damn YouTube tutorials

She learnt how to build this trap from YouTube, but she never expected that it would trigger in the wrong order! Acala, the Immovable, was supposed to incapacitate them first before the charms rained down on them!

The figure dodged the charms with no effort! What the hell! If I die, Im haunting that YouTuber for life until he kills himself!

The black plastic bag that held the charms also flopped out of the branches, and she sighed.

Its over,

However, Acala, the Immovable, launched forward, albeit incredibly delayed, but the trajectory of the statue hit the black plastic bag, causing it to tear open as dozens of charms flew out.

The rain of charms plopped right by Gu Qianqian, and she stared at them in horror.

System, what do we do?

Just close your eyes and imagine the flowers.

What for?

Just look at the flowers, Gu Qianqian.
