C115 (1/2)

After returning to the dorm, since I had nothing to do, I went to find the old Daoist to teach me the second mantra. The old Daoist did not hesitate and directly gave me three talisman paper. On these three pieces of paper, there were three different kinds of inscriptions that were so complex that it made one's eyes dazzle. After this guy threw these three paper talismans at me, he said, ”Write the talismans on these three paper talismans properly before coming to me.” Then he pushed me out of the room and slammed the door shut.

I cursed at the door for a while, then obediently went back to my dorm. I took out a piece of paper, picked up a brush, and started to write the three ”Glyph Devils” one by one.

After practicing for an afternoon, I finally managed to write a rune. Then, I looked at the other two runes that I had yet to learn to write. This rune requires me to practice for an entire afternoon. Since there are so many runes in the mantra, wouldn't it be best to write off my hand? Sigh, my aptitude is indeed mediocre. It is not like the old Taoist, who can easily draw hundreds of runes.

I shook off my sore arms and cursed, ”It's so damn hard to write. This rune is just like an abstract painting!”

At this moment, I looked at the time and saw that it was already 5 PM. I didn't expect that I had actually drawn this damned thing for 3 hours! I admire myself so much.

Alright, let's go outside the balcony to take a breath of fresh air. Drawing this thing here is much more harmful to one's brain than doing higher number questions! After having painted for so long, it was time for him to get some fresh air.

I went out onto the balcony, swinging my arms.

The sun was shining on the floor of the balcony like an even egg yolk. I walked over and felt a warm touch on my face.

To the west, faintly blurry, behind the jagged tall buildings, was a plate of sunset that was as red as blood.

The setting sun was so bright red that it seemed to be like a wound in the sky, a wound that was still dripping with blood.

Looking at the setting sun, I couldn't help but sigh.

The setting sun was so beautiful, so picturesque …

I closed my eyes and tried to feel the soft hand of the setting sun.

But then a warm wind blew and a piece of paper flew into my face, covering it entirely. My good mood was immediately extinguished by this piece of paper.

I grabbed the piece of paper that suddenly flew down from the sky and cursed, ”Damn it! That bastard is so immoral! He actually dares to throw away trash!”

Then I glanced at the paper.

It's good that I didn't see it, but upon seeing it, I was immediately astonished.

On the paper was written, ”Gong Nan, you don't need to interfere in killing Zhao Jie. Thank you.” ”Also, you must not go to Lake of Pure Heart – Wu Xiaoli tonight.”

I looked up at the sky, but there was nothing in the sky but a few white clouds like cotton candy.

I stared down at the words again, puzzled for a moment.

At that moment, my cell phone rang.

It was Lin Xin'er who called me.

I picked up the phone. ”Hello.”

Lin Xin'er said: ”I'm under your dormitory. Let's go now.”

”This …” I looked at the warning Wu Xiaoli gave me and hesitated.

Lin Xin'er coldly snorted like a spoiled child and said: ”Hmph, you won't break your promise, right?”

I smiled bitterly and said, ”How is it possible...” ”But …” I suggested weakly, ”Can we go another day?”

”No way!” Lin Xin'er bluntly rejected my suggestion, ”You promised me that a man wouldn't break his promise. Besides, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the weather is so good. You can't miss the best time to watch the moon!”

I complained in my heart. Since Lin Xin'er insisted on going, how could I just let her go? Alright, in this situation, he could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

I helplessly let out a breath and said, ”Alright then. Wait for me for a while, I'll go down now.”

After saying that, I crumpled the piece of paper in my hand and threw it into the trash can.

I thought, ”Don't go to Chastity Lake.” What did that mean? Was there a water monster in the lake?

I immediately rejected this idea. Although I have never been to the Lake of Pure Heart, I could see it from the map of the Higher Education Mega Centre. On the surface, it was a lake, but it was actually only a small pond.

Then I thought, could there be a water ghost?

It's quite possible that wherever there is water, there might be ghosts.

But every night, there would be a lot of people going to the lakeside lawn to play. There were people playing guitar, people chatting, people loitering around. There were all kinds of people, but they had never heard of drowning.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any water ghost in the Pure Heart Lake …

At this moment, I was stunned. Could it be that Wu Xiaoli didn't want me to go to the Pure Heart Lake because there was some secret behind it? Furthermore, she didn't want me to know about this secret …

What secret did she not want me to know?

I was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. Could it be the entrance to that big cave?

When I thought of this, I stopped hesitating. I quickly put on my shoes and clothes, combed my handsome hair, and ran down the stairs.
