My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 46

Wu Zhen appeared nearby at some unknown point. She looked at Yue Yiyue and smiled: “You came to look for Gu Nanqiu?”

“Why aren’t you walking over there? What are you thinking about?”

Yue Yiyue glanced at Wu Zhen, feeling a little unsure whether she was in league with her cousin.

Also, when did this Wu Zhen arrive?

How much did she hear?

How much did she know about and participate in what Xie Ying had just said.

“Nothing much. I saw Gu Nanqiu,” Yue Yiyue said, downplaying the issue. She turned a corner and, while doing so, took Xie Ying from Gu Nanqiu’s arms: “Classmate Wu, if it’s convenient, I’d like to ask you to request a leave of absence for Gu Nanqiu and Classmate Xie Ying.”

“We are taking her to the infirmary and might be late for class.”

“What’s wrong with her?” Wu Zhen looked curiously at Xie Ying in Yue Yiyue’s arms. Upon noticing the blood splattered on the ground, a look of concern appeared on Wu Zhen’s face.

But Yue Yiyue felt this look was somewhat fake.

She tried hard to persuade herself not to be prejudiced against this older cousin just because she disliked Wu Hewu.

However, due to certain concerns, Yue Yiyue did not drop her guard.

“She has a nosebleed and is also a bit anemic, perhaps,” Yue Yiyue said, making up a lie. She looked at Gu Nanqiu: “Nanqiu, is that right?”

Gu Nanqiu blinked, looking like she understood. She nodded seriously and added to Yue Yiyue’s words: “Yes, Xie Ying rushed over just now and said she felt dizzy from the sight of blood, and then she collapsed.”

“I see.” Wu Zhen seemed to believe it. She checked the time.

“If it’s just a nosebleed, Yue Yiyue, you can manage alone, right? There’s no need to delay Nanqiu’s class. This is a very important advanced math lesson,” Wu Zhen said, looking past Yue Yiyue at Gu Nanqiu, showing a kind smile. In an instant, a burst of cloyingly sweet candy scent diffused, immediately pickling the few people present in its flavor.

It was as if they had accidentally stumbled into a candy house filled with sweets.

Wu Zhen spoke while walking forward: “Nanqiu, you came so early today. The teacher needs something for this afternoon’s class.”

With her movement, the sweetness in the air grew stronger.

Yue Yiyue stood motionless, her eyes glazed over, her entire consciousness blurring into a trance with the sickly sweet scent. Deep within her mind, it seemed as if something was fighting.

In the end, only three words repeated in her head: “Listen to her.”

“Listen to her!!”

“Listen to her!!!”

Just as Wu Zhen was about to reach Gu Nanqiu,

Yue Yiyue caught a scent of osmanthus.

It was faint but enough to be refreshing.

She suddenly woke up with a start. Wait, Wu Zhen didn’t ask Gu Nanqiu’s opinion! That’s disrespecting her!

Nimbly lifting Xie Ying onto her shoulder, she interjected herself between the two of them. In that instant, the usual dullness was gone from Yue Yiyue’s face; her eyebrows were lowered, showing fierceness, as she warned Wu Zhen: “Classmate Wu, excuse me, but you need to ask for Nanqiu’s opinion first.”

Wu Zhen looked at Yue Yiyue with some surprise. This was impossible…

However, she kept her expression unchanged, forcing a fake smile: “Classmate Yue Yiyue, it’s just a class. Gu Nanqiu surely thinks that attending class is more important, especially since you’re already preparing to take this classmate to the infirmary.”

“Is that so? Nanqiu? You know that the afternoon class is very important, right?” She took two steps forward and pointed to the classroom in the distance.

The moment she brushed past Gu Nanqiu, she whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: “What kind of thing are you? What do you think your good friend here will do when she finds out?”

“I can study the afternoon class on my own later. I need to take Xie Ying to the infirmary with Yiyue right now, so please don’t hold us up.” Gu Nanqiu covered her nose, took a step back, and hid behind Yue Yiyue. She asked with a hint of confusion: “Why do you assume I must follow you?”

The smile on Wu Zhen’s face was beginning to slip. It was not unexpected that Gu Nanqiu could break free, after all, that lunatic Gu Ye had a close relationship with her.

But what was the deal with this Yue Yiyue?

Tsk, this area really is lively.

“I apologize, but this afternoon’s class really is very important—”

“Enough, stop repeating that sentence,” Yue Yiyue interrupted Wu Zhen. “If you were truly worried about Xie Ying, you should be urging us to leave quickly, not blocking the way. This makes me worry about what your true intentions are.”

Yue Yiyue dropped this statement, carrying Xie Ying with one hand and holding Gu Nanqiu’s hand with the other, and walked around Wu Zhen.

Entering the school infirmary, Yue Yiyue felt the scene was a little reminiscent of when they were trapped in that paper-crafted school before.

But Yue Yiyue clearly understood that this time they would not enter that chaotic place.

After all, the habits of every monster are different, and the ways They choose to kill people are also different.

The school nurse in the infirmary, seeing the two of them rush in carrying someone, thought something serious had happened. She hurried over and took the younger student.

After a preliminary examination, she found the person had only fainted, possibly due to low blood pressure.

The school nurse told the two students to find a place to rest, as she needed to step out for a moment.

Yue Yiyue pulled out a chair for Gu Nanqiu to sit on.

She herself walked to the window, leaning on the sill, looking at the low shrubs. They had small, light-colored, pretty flowers that she couldn’t name, but the specks of white dotted against the green were beautiful, just like Gu Nanqiu, Yue Yiyue thought subconsciously.

“Did you smell anything just now?” Yue Yiyue rubbed her nose, then lowered her head to sniff her own scent.

She somehow felt that for a moment, she had smelled the scent from the previous cake shop.

But it felt slightly different, and Yue Yiyue’s memory of what happened at the cake shop was somewhat blurry; the scent was fleeting.

Gu Nanqiu shook her head: “What scent?”

“I was still surprised you came over.”

“To be honest, when Xie Ying rushed over like that, she was just gesturing at me. I saw her mouth open constantly, but she couldn’t make any sound. I was even worried if she was too exhausted from too much pressure.”

“Didn’t you hear anything Xie Ying said just now?” Yue Yiyue frowned and looked at Gu Nanqiu with some surprise: “She just said Hewu wanted to make a move on you? You didn’t hear any of that?”

Gu Nanqiu’s bewildered expression was her answer.

“Yiyue, you seem to be experiencing the same thing as just now.”

“I could only hear the first half of your sentence, and then I couldn’t hear anything else.”

It seemed there was something interfering.

This was normal, after all, if the main character knew everything, it wouldn’t be conducive to the plot unfolding later.

Yue Yiyue had no choice but to give up on telling Gu Nanqiu about this, suggesting: “Then, for the next few days, we should walk together as much as possible. I’ll take you to class, and you wait for me in the classroom after class to pick you up.”

“What happened?” Gu Nanqiu heard the unusual tone in Yue Yiyue’s voice. She looked at Yue Yiyue with some curiosity: “Is it because of the case that happened recently?”

Yue Yiyue nodded. Although Gu Ye didn’t explicitly state who the box-headed monster was.

But this Hewu might have some connection with that monster.

For example, the monster parasitized Hewu.

Or perhaps Hewu was actually a variant of the monster.

Regardless of which it was, Yue Yiyue had to be vigilant, including that Wu Zhen.

She had a strange feeling about Wu Zhen.

The way she looked at Gu Nanqiu was also odd.

It wasn’t love, but more of a yearning for power.

It was like being attracted to a strong person, wanting to become her and surpass her.

If it were a healthy competition, they would both become more outstanding.

The fear was that Wu Zhen might lose herself.

“Speaking of which, is your afternoon class really that important? Wu Zhen emphasized it repeatedly,” Yue Yiyue turned her head and asked Gu Nanqiu curiously.

“Hmm, it doesn’t matter, I’ve already finished learning it.” Gu Nanqiu admired Yue Yiyue, who was like a beautiful landscape painting in front of her. She squinted slightly, seemingly displeased that Yue Yiyue brought up another person’s name.

“That Wu Zhen has been sending me messages these past two days, asking me questions.”

The fish has taken the bait. Following this storyline, Gu Ye can return to where she belongs…

“I told her some things, but she asked me to go to the library this weekend. After I refused her, she kept relentlessly hovering around me,” Gu Nanqiu said with some distress: “Because she has a good reputation in the class, many people think this is normal.”

“That Hewu is the same, always following behind Wu Zhen. A few days ago, someone even saw them asking Gu Ye about something.”

Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue with some worry: “I hope it’s not because they saw that I got to know Gu Ye through you, and they want to try and glean some information from Gu Ye.”

“Gu Ye isn’t that kind of person,” Yue Yiyue subconsciously denied, but Wu Zhen’s behavior felt wrong somehow; they weren’t even in the same department.

Yue Yiyue thought for a moment. Perhaps some things that should be brought along must be brought along.

When Xie Ying woke up, her mental state was in complete collapse.

When she opened her eyes, she saw an overwhelming field of red, with many black, long, stripe-like objects standing around.

They stood far away, scrutinizing Xie Ying.

Just seeing such a scene sent Xie Ying into a new breakdown. She rolled her eyes, continuously repeating: “I want to go back, I must go back.”

“I want to go back, I want to go back.”

“Wuwuwu, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done this.”

“I’m sorry, I really am sorry.”

“I don’t want to go.”

“Don’t kill me!!!”

“I told you, it’s not my fault!!!”

She mumbled repeatedly, repeating these phrases.

The moment she saw Gu Nanqiu’s face, her face immediately contorted. She hugged her head, screaming wildly: “I was wrong, wuwuwu, I’m sorry, I was wrong!!!”

She struggled to support her body, crawling on her knees toward Gu Nanqiu.

This scene was too bizarre, and the school nurse had disappeared somewhere.

Yue Yiyue had to make Gu Nanqiu stand behind the white privacy screen, and then she tried to calm Xie Ying’s emotions.

As Gu Nanqiu left, Xie Ying immediately retreated back into the quilt. The external sounds reaching her ears were all distorted into “Go to hell—”

“Go to hell—”

“Traitor—”

“Go to hell—”

It hurt too much, her head hurt too much, so much that Xie Ying continuously beat her own head.

Yue Yiyue tried to hold her hands to control Xie Ying and make her feel better, but in the end, her hand was scratched by Xie Ying’s sharp fingernails.

And she was nearly hit by Xie Ying’s flailing.

This state was too strange.

“Yiyue, use this rope, tie her up!” Gu Nanqiu somehow pulled out a section of rope.

Yue Yiyue took it and quickly put it around Xie Ying’s hands: “Nanqiu, quickly ask Sister Yeqiu. Xie Ying’s condition seems like she’s been possessed. Should we sprinkle some sticky rice or what?”
