Its head was being held aloft in mid-air by the metallic tentacles of some unknown creature.

Behind him, the entity was softly whispering something in his ear with a voice that was chilling to the core, yet laden with emotive undertones.

At that thought, Ke Mingye couldn’t help but shudder, his pupils contracting repeatedly.

“Really freakin’ haunted…” the corners of his mouth twitched.

…..

Simultaneously, in a room on the second floor inside Bai Ke’s home in the Old Jingmai District.

The TV screen was split by a white line into two halves, with Mario’s perspective on the left and the gorilla’s on the right, both of them ramming into each other with bumper cars on the racetrack.

Kobe was rolling around on the floor like a black ball: “Go for it, Red Hat–! Pick up that item, shoot her with the rocket launcher!”

Seeing Mario’s racecar overtake the gorilla, it immediately jumped up, flapping its wings like elbows, “ohyes! yes! that’s the way–!”

“Whose side are you really on?”

Shi Neian complained, though her hands didn’t stop moving, the controller clicking rapidly.

Just then, You Minglu was focusing on the TV screen, pressing on the controller while asking, “Shi Neian, do you happen to have a ‘Language All Pass’ card in your magic book?”

“Yeah, I kept it from last time Senior Hui Jin taught me card-making,” Shi Neian said, her pupils reflecting the glow of the TV.

“I’ll borrow it then,” You Minglu said, “I’ve used up mine already, will go to the Alliance tomorrow to collect cards, I’ll return it to you then.”

.Co

“Oh… I can, but can’t we finish the game first?” Shi Neian asked.

“No, it’s urgent.”

“Ha… what urgent matter?”

You Minglu said expressionlessly and seriously, “My favorite anime has been updated on the foreign network… I don’t understand the language, I can’t gnaw on the raw version, so I can only borrow a ‘Language All Pass’ card from you to finish the episode.”

Kobe, clutching Shi Neian’s elbow with its wing, rolled around on the ground in a tantrum, chiming in, “Give it to her–! Give it to her, Shi Neian, just give it to her, Red Hat Miss is so pitiful!”

Shi Neian clicked her tongue, her face full of speechlessness, but recalling that since she knew Red Hat, Red Hat had always been quite abnormal, she made peace with it.

Besides, with Kobe causing such a commotion, she couldn’t continue playing…

So she simply paused the game, shook off the clingy Kobe, took out the Magic Wand hidden in her backpack and transformed, flipped through the magic book like flipping through a diary, and took out the sole “Language All Pass” card.

“Here you go.” She handed the card to You Minglu.

“Thanks.” You Minglu glanced at the card’s name, said politely, “I’ll play later, I’m going to the bathroom first.”

Having said that, she rose from in front of the TV and slowly headed towards the door.

“You’re welcome, senior…” Shi Neian, yawning, said listlessly, “If you want to thank me, just don’t wake me up holding a ‘Fireball Technique’ card in the future–I’m really scared that you’ll accidentally burn down my mansion, and I don’t know if the Alliance will compensate me…”

She sighed, thinking that being woken up by Red Hat every day was truly a kind of occupational injury.

Kobe sighed, shook its head, and the feathers on its head danced, “Miss Red Hat with such class wouldn’t do that, Shi Neian, you misunderstand her.”

“You, roll away,” Shi Neian said dismissively, commanding.

“I, roll away,” Kobe repeated, its form dispersing into pieces of radiance.

Outside, after she closed the door, Red Hat quickened her pace slightly, gliding through the corridor like a light breeze and entering the bathroom. Locking the door, she sat down on the toilet, then softly inhaled and crushed the magic card–“Language All Pass.”

Next, she replaced Ke Mingye, switching to the “strange thing’s” perspective.

Since her neck was already broken and her gaze couldn’t be moved, she could only listen intently to the words that came from the depth of the darkness.

The voice was husky yet gentle, like a mother swaying a cradle, patting your back, singing a lullaby to lull you to deep sleep.

Before long, the metallic strips slowly lifted the strange thing’s head under the moonlight, its eyes reflecting the brightly lit Huanjing.

The next moment, one of the metallic strips covered the eyes of the strange thing.

The city of lights and revelry ceased to exist…

All that remained was darkness.

Then, it seemed as if some liquid seeped into its eye sockets.

In the profound darkness, a hoarse voice approached its ear, slowly speaking:
“My child… it’s not yet time.”
