My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 50

Gu Nanqiu’s demeanor in class was not exactly what one would call serious.

Sitting there, she would occasionally poke Yue Yiyue or run her hand over Yue Yiyue’s arm.

She would also smile openly at the teacher when he looked over, giving off the impression of someone who was definitely listening.

But Yue Yiyue, sitting next to her, saw the messy notes on the other girl’s book, and that beautiful hand, as white as mutton-fat jade, remained stuck to her own.

Yue Yiyue lightly patted the back of Gu Nanqiu’s hand, “I’ll take the notes for you. If you feel bored, you can play on your phone.”

Gu Nanqiu was reluctant, but she thought about it and decided that having Yue Yiyue’s handwriting in her pristine textbook might be nice too.

She handed the notebook over: “Thank you, Yiyue, you’ve worked hard. But I’d be happier if you just chatted with me.”

In the lecture hall, Gu Nanqiu had chosen a seat near the back, so speaking in a hushed voice wouldn’t disturb the surrounding students. However, Yue Yiyue, who was accustomed to being focused while studying, still felt a little guilty.

She patted Gu Nanqiu, pulled up a trending drama on the other girl’s phone, and gestured for Gu Nanqiu to entertain herself.

Then, she buried her head, recording the key points and difficult concepts the teacher was discussing.

The class passed, and it was not as dull as Yue Yiyue had imagined; there was even a sense of joy from learning something new.

This was aside from He Wu, who sat in front and turned back to look at Gu Nanqiu’s location time and time again.

His actions were almost blatant, as if he was plainly telling Yue Yiyue that he had ill intentions toward Gu Nanqiu and challenging her to come and beat him up.

Yue Yiyue considered that for Gu Nanqiu’s safety, she had to ensure the two of them stayed together for the next few days, at least.

What evil was this He Wu hiding? What exactly did he want to do? Was the matter with Xie Ying related to him?

And also Wu Zhen.

Yue Yiyue felt that to deal with this, she might need to negotiate with Wu Zhen.

But right now, Yue Yiyue’s thoughts were too chaotic; she had to prioritize the current issues.

The most urgent matter involved the two monsters.

That Box Head and the Cake Attendant—their goal seemed to be eliminating sin, but the rules they triggered were extremely bizarre.

To this day, Yue Yiyue still wasn’t quite sure what happened that caused her to enter Box Head’s rules.

Right, the forum.

Yue Yiyue remembered Liu Mingdian mentioning that more detailed information could be found on the online forum.

The moment the class bell rang, Yue Yiyue immediately pulled Gu Nanqiu and headed home.

The first thing Yue Yiyue did upon returning home was toss her jacket onto the sofa.

Gu Ye, who was watching Tom and Jerry, looked up, “Huh? You’re back? Get anything good? Anything good to eat?”

“Yes, I’m going to check the forum.”

Gu Nanqiu followed behind, looking at Gu Ye sitting on the sofa. She placed the bag in her hand on the table: “Gu Ye, go downstairs and get the parcel. I’ll send you the pickup code later.

“On your way back, buy a few bottles of drinks, and check what snacks you want. Also, go buy some braised dishes from the snack street.”

Gu Ye stood up. Her gaze fell on Yue Yiyue’s jacket. She glanced at Gu Nanqiu, making sure the other girl wouldn’t hit her: “Yiyue, lend me your jacket to wear. Mine is being washed.”

“Just wear it,” Yue Yiyue had already run to the study.

“It has the keys in the pocket anyway. Come back soon.”

After speaking, Yue Yiyue’s focus was entirely on the small screen in front of her.

She quickly gained a basic understanding of the forum’s structure and rapidly searched for keywords within it.

Wishing Cake.

Nothing came up.

Yue Yiyue then switched to the school’s forum.

Amidst large sections of posts asking for Gu Nanqiu’s contact information, several new student inquiries were interspersed.

Yue Yiyue patiently searched within them for the information she needed.

The mouse scrolled, and colorful, messy images caught Yue Yiyue’s eye.

One post drew Yue Yiyue’s attention, and she clicked into it curiously.

“What happened in front of the Chinese Department building last night? Why is it blocked off by a fence today?”

She estimated it was related to Gu Ye’s incident.

Several pictures were attached inside, looking quite terrifying.

Yue Yiyue couldn’t quite imagine how Gu Ye managed to escape.

Recalling Gu Ye’s carefree, naive manner, she could only conclude that the simple-minded were blessed with good fortune.

The students inside were chattering in discussion, mostly saying that some of their belongings had been damaged, and the school had quickly compensated them.

But exactly what happened, no one explained clearly.

Subsequently, Yue Yiyue watched helplessly as the post was locked.

Fortunately, she had saved the pictures casually; she could look back to see if there was any information in them.

Yue Yiyue scrolled further down.

Finally, in a post from late September, she found something related to the Wishing Cake.

The poster was inquiring about the truthfulness of the rumor.

In the thread, someone with a white avatar and a garbled nickname posted a link.

That person mysteriously said: “No discussion in public spaces, dear. For matters regarding the Wishing Cake, please go to the dedicated webpage.”

Yue Yiyue clicked the link curiously and quickly jumped to an all-black page.

In the center was a child-like cake drawing, which was slowly being colored in bit by bit.

When the cake was finally fully colored, the page’s content appeared.

[The Wishing Cakes seem to be getting fewer recently… I couldn’t find them at several cake shops.]

[Dear all, thank you! I found the Wishing Cake, and my wish came true! Thank you for the help. As a return, I’ll let you all know that the peak time for the Wishing Cake to appear is after 6 PM! Remember, 6 PM!]

[“Ahhhh! That damn scumbag is finally dead. Seriously, thank you, Wishing Cake! He cheated first and wouldn’t get a divorce. Now it’s great; according to my wish, he died in the most crowded place. When I saw the news, I was thrilled to death.”]

Seeing this, Yue Yiyue realized that this matter aligned with the cake shop incident…

She clicked into this post and saw a hand making a V-sign below, with a funeral portrait placed behind it.

Many people were leaving comments below, asking if there were any side effects or if she had offered up anything else.

The poster replied to them one by one: “No, nothing happened at all.”

“Oh, well, because many other people will eat the mango flavor! They are the ones who pay the price, and we are the believers chosen by the Cake God.”

“The secret? The secret must be to maintain a good heart and sincerely wish to eliminate sin without any selfish motives.”

“Speaking of which, I am now a devout follower of the Wishing Cake Cult! I firmly protect our supreme and unmatched Cake God!”

“The cakes are decreasing? No, no, no, it’s because you are not devout enough. It’s all because you are not devout enough that the cakes are unwilling to come to you. If you truly need one, I have some methods. Add my contact information… As for how to add me, leave a comment. I’ll pick based on fate.”

Below were dense messages of “May good people live a peaceful life” along with contact information.

Yue Yiyue stared at the post for a long time. After a while, she also typed “May good people live a peaceful life,” just like the others, and left the contact information of the person who had been harassing her.

She simultaneously sent a message to the owner of that harassing number: “If someone adds you later, don’t reject them. I have something going on here. You’ll do as I tell you later.”

The person replied instantly: “Oh my god, baby, you really treat me like a person close to you, woo-hoo-hoo. Is there some important mission you want to give me?”

“Don’t worry, baby, I will definitely carry out what you arrange.”

“What do you need? Money? Power? Or is that person an eyesore, and you want me to kill her? Although I can’t be by your side right now, I still have other ways, baby. Just tell me, and I’ll arrange it for you.”

Yue Yiyue looked at the constantly popping up messages and cut to the chase: “I need to ask the owner of this number about something. They won’t be able to trace any of your information through this, right, since you’re so powerful.”

After a brief pause, there was an even more violent text message bombardment.

Love was mixed in with some incoherent nonsense.

Yue Yiyue read for a long time before finally seeing the promise within those messages: “Okay, baby, I will follow your request and absolutely won’t cause any extra trouble. You don’t need to worry too much. I will do better than them… Wait for me… I will.”

She put her phone away.

Yue Yiyue continued to look at other posts.

Most of the comments were left by people who had eaten the strawberry cake with the matcha flavor, and they were all praising the Cake God.

In Yue Yiyue’s view, their only purpose was to incite more people to buy this so-called wish-fulfilling cake.

She browsed the website. Now was not the time to report it, but she could use this as a clue to submit to…

Perhaps the regular police might not be suitable. If Yue Yiyue remembered correctly, there were also special police who dealt with rules here.

After much hesitation, Yue Yiyue consulted a doctor online and registered for an appointment with Dr. Zhang Jingming.

Soon, Dr. Zhang came online. Yue Yiyue sent the pre-written message: “Dr. Zhang, hello. I’m the one who consulted you before. I spoke to you about some supernatural phenomena at the time. May I talk to you about something?”

The phone rang almost immediately.

The two communicated for a while. Finally, Yue Yiyue provided the website. Dr. Zhang Jingming thanked Comrade Yue Yiyue for the information and hoped Yue Yiyue would leave her contact information, as the special police department would contact her in two days.

At this point, Yue Yiyue hesitated a little.

Dr. Zhang Jingming also noticed Yue Yiyue’s hesitation. She understood Yue Yiyue’s concerns and told Yue Yiyue to wait a moment.

A badge photo was quickly sent over.

The style of this badge was somewhat similar to that of a forensic doctor…

Yue Yiyue stared at it for a long time: “May I ask, if it’s not too much trouble, do you have a psychologist there who is also a forensic doctor?”

This sentence sounded very strange. Yue Yiyue realized it belatedly and quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, I must have gotten mixed up.”

“No, we don’t,” Dr. Zhang Jingming’s voice was as gentle as ever: “She is our colleague. We just didn’t expect Student Yue to be so connected to our department. We’ll have the forensic doctor contact you later.”

“It’s just as well; her vacation is also over.”

Hearing this, Yue Yiyue also felt that it was an uncanny coincidence, but she didn’t say anything else. Instead, she leaned back in her chair, listening to Dr. Zhang Jingming’s advice.

Protect your SAN value (mental stability).

If the SAN value is too low, one can see many things that are otherwise invisible in this world.

As for how to protect the SAN value, Dr. Zhang Jingming left her with the line: “The forensic doctor will tell you later.”

After the call ended, Yue Yiyue looked at her phone screen.

Xie Ying’s appearance seemed to be related to her SAN value.

If she ended up like this because she ate the mango-flavored strawberry cake, that was a little strange.

So far, none of the materials Yue Yiyue had scrolled through contained any information related to the mango-flavored strawberry cake.

It was almost as if it was deliberately avoided.

Then… those who ate the mango flavor, were they like Xie Ying—driven insane?

Or did they pay the price and are simply unable to express their situation online?

Or are they actually all dead?

Many other pieces of information were locked away, and Yue Yiyue had no way of knowing.

How many people participated in this activity, which wore the guise of fulfilling wishes but was actually about creating a god?

What did that Cake Head monster want to do?

For some reason, the computer page suddenly refreshed itself.

The latest post appeared before Yue Yiyue’s eyes.

I ate the Wishing Cake… My wish is for Gu Nanqiu to always, always, always love me… Everyone, wait for my feedback!
