My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 52
Yue Yiyao leaned against the door frame, quietly watching Gu Nanqiu, who was sitting on the sofa watching television.
A vibrating notification on her phone reminded Yue Yiyao that the time was near.
They both had classes this afternoon.
What if something happened to Gu Nanqiu alone in the classroom?
Or what if she was brainwashed during class, and after class ended, Yue Yiyao would see Gu Nanqiu holding a stranger’s hand, smiling sweetly at her, and saying she had found her true love.
While this scenario would immediately identify who needed to be dealt with, it would still be a terrible offense to Gu Nanqiu.
Holding hands with the cowardly sneak who was coveting her—that sight was simply too sickening…
Thinking of this, Yue Yiyao became exceptionally agitated, mixed with a hint of anxiety.
She walked irritably to the sofa, her face devoid of excessive emotion.
Gu Nanqiu was the first to notice the change in Yue Yiyao’s mood.
“Are you still worried about this?” Gu Nanqiu paused the television. Her tea-colored eyes looked at Yue Yiyao, with a trace of guilt in them. “Yiyao, why don’t you take me to the classroom and pick me up after class?”
“If you’re still uneasy, we can install a surveillance camera at home.”
“You can even install a GPS tracker on me!”
“Cutting class this afternoon and coming to class with me is also a good option.”
Hearing Gu Nanqiu’s suggestion, Yue Yiyao did not speak immediately but stood still, seriously considering the feasibility of the idea.
It seemed indeed worth considering.
After installing surveillance, adding a tracker would allow her to know Gu Nanqiu’s location anytime, anywhere.
If something happened, she wouldn’t be able to rush over immediately, but if she went to class with Gu Nanqiu, that problem would be solved.
Under these special circumstances, the proposal was truly excellent.
“You are right.” After calmly analyzing the feasibility in her mind, Yue Yiyao looked up at Gu Nanqiu. Her thin lips parted and closed, speaking words that were rational and restrained: “I will implement this within this period.”
This conversation was strange, yet it revealed a sense of the eerie.
However, the two individuals involved looked completely normal, more like they had held a very serious meeting.
A very serious decision had been made at this meeting.
“Mm!” Gu Nanqiu’s eyes instantly lit up, and a big smile bloomed on her face.
This result was unexpected by Gu Nanqiu; she had thought Yue Yiyao would refuse her.
Gu Nanqiu tried her best to suppress her wildly beating heart. She walked to Yue Yiyao’s side and hugged her, resting her head on Yue Yiyao’s shoulder so that Yue Yiyao could not see her slightly reddened eyes, and rubbed affectionately against her.
Possess me. Make me your property.
She devoutly landed a fleeting kiss on Yue Yiyao’s somewhat fuzzy, adorable little face: “As you wish, I will let you know my status every moment, but I have a few even better suggestions. Do you want to hear them?”
Gu Nanqiu’s voice grew increasingly excited: “Yiyao, for example, how about considering locking me up? Right here!”
“Like they write in some novels, making me your canary here?”
“That way, the things you worry about will absolutely never happen.”
“This place will be our safest, safest nest.”
The joy of Yue Yiyao being willing to control her overwhelmed Gu Nanqiu, who instantly abandoned so-called human morality and law.
Her mind contained only one thought: to become Yue Yiyao’s property.
Gu Nanqiu caught Yue Yiyao off guard, and the two tumbled onto the sofa together.
Yue Yiyao looked at Gu Nanqiu’s face, which was flushed with excitement, and her hand instinctively supported Gu Nanqiu’s slender waist.
Yue Yiyao didn’t find Gu Nanqiu suddenly saying such things strange.
Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
She raised her hand and stroked Gu Nanqiu’s fuzzy head, rubbing Gu Nanqiu’s ears, which were red from excitement: “No, you can’t. You worked so hard to get into this university.”
“But if we are still together after graduation… if you don’t want to work, just stay home. I will work hard to give you the life you want.”
Gu Nanqiu just wanted to be a homebody; it wasn’t like she wanted to destroy the world. If Yue Yiyao could stay with Gu Nanqiu until the end, she would definitely satisfy this small wish…
At the same time, two little figures began fighting in Yue Yiyao’s mind: Must this class be attended?
No. Being there might actually help those things.
Her SAN score had been so unstable yesterday that she almost let Them in.
Her mental state was too poor.
Although her body was relaxed, her mind was taut, and she could collapse at any moment.
Perhaps she would eventually be crushed at some point, and in the end, choose to commit suicide, just like Xie Ying.
After a struggle between rational and emotional thoughts, Yue Yiyao finally decided to ask for leave.
However, she didn’t stay in the house; instead, she decided to find the Forensic Doctor.
Perhaps the Forensic Doctor had something that could once again salvage her precarious mental state.
Something that could allow her to find a little peace.
It was the same hospital.
Yue Yiyao stood at the hospital entrance and looked at her phone again.
The chat box with the avatar of the woman with seaweed-like long hair and gold-rimmed glasses popped up: “This time, the nurse at the front desk will tell you where to go. Don’t run. We are colleagues; we won’t let you die.”
Recalling how the Forensic Doctor had deliberately frightened her last time, Yue Yiyao took a deep breath.
She walked to the front desk, and under the automated guidance of the front desk nurse, she once again passed through the long corridor to the Forensic Doctor’s office.
This time, Yue Yiyao did not feel terror; the further in she went, the more relaxed she felt.
The further in she went, the more relaxed her thoughts became.
It was as if an invisible presence was smoothing her nerves, little by little.
It was like the feeling of talking to her mother on the phone yesterday.
This was something she hadn’t felt last time.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
The Forensic Doctor was sitting behind a desk made of Lihua wood, upon which several dishes of delicacies were laid out. She was meticulously savoring them.
Seeing Yue Yiyao arrive, she pointed to the sofa nearby: “Sit down yourself. We’re so familiar now. The website you provided—their side has been shut down, and we haven’t caught any excess information.”
“But why aren’t you guarding your good friend today?” The Forensic Doctor still maintained that composed and comfortable demeanor in dealing with everything, only her badge had been changed to ‘Special Police Unit.’
Below her name, it was now a strange phrase—Gluttony Guardian.
It was a bit odd, but this was irrelevant to Yue Yiyao. She withdrew her scrutinizing gaze: “Thank you for your hard work on this matter. Her side is quite cunning.”
“I have something else to deal with. I feel that if I don’t deal with some of my own issues, I will sooner or later become a burden to her.”
Speaking this sentence, there was not the sadness she had imagined; instead, there was a sense of relief.
Admitting that one is not needed seems not to be that difficult.
Yue Yiyao sat on the sofa, recounting everything from yesterday.
When she reached the end, she looked at the Forensic Doctor: “Do you know where I can buy a GPS tracker? You should understand my thoughts. Only with this will I feel at ease. Just like right now, I’m here, but I really, really want to call Gu Nanqiu and hear her voice.”
“I know this is not normal; such an action is insane.” Yue Yiyao paused strangely: “But Gu Nanqiu accepted it.”
“No matter what kind of person I am, she accepts it all, including when I said I would agree to install a tracker on her.”
“She didn’t think I was a lunatic; instead, she was very happy.”
The Forensic Doctor listened to Yue Yiyao’s self-narration, casually lifting her wrist. Mental value 17…
Hmm. Generally speaking, a person at this mental value would choose to commit suicide due to low mental strength, but Yue Yiyao was only speaking somewhat confusedly and had lowered her moral bottom line again.
Come to think of it, she had never seen Yue Yiyao completely break down from beginning to end.
Not even when they were both ordinary humans.
“I’m sorry for making you listen to so much nonsense.” After pouring out all the thoughts she had been bottling up inside, Yue Yiyao felt much better than when she arrived; at least, she felt her tightly wound nerves had relaxed considerably.
Perhaps there was some device in this room that was inherently regulating her emotions.
“Forensic Doctor, I also want to ask if there’s anything I can use to stabilize my mental state? I always feel that if I continue like this, I will do something I’ll regret.” Yue Yiyao sat on the sofa, her eyes holding a confusion she herself hadn’t noticed.
And a hint of fear towards the unknown.
The room fell into silence.
The Forensic Doctor contemplated quietly, and Yue Yiyao waited.
“No, you don’t need it. Your mind has always been very stable, and besides, stability is not necessarily a good thing for you.” After a moment of thought, the Forensic Doctor sent her preliminary assessment of Yue Yiyao to Ye Qiu.
“You have always been suppressing yourself, restraining yourself in many matters. Why not release it here?”
“In this place, you are not the insignificant little delivery person, Yue Yiyao, who has to be polite to everyone.”
The Forensic Doctor softened her voice. After a dark red light flashed in her eyes, the world fell into silence. Yue Yiyao’s eyes only saw the Forensic Doctor’s seaweed-like long hair, like a thick net, catching her in one sweep.
That voice continued to coax: “Yue Yiyao, wouldn’t it be great to take your rightful identity and do whatever you please?”
“She went through so much trouble to create a world like this, not for you to be fearful, like a coward who can’t do anything.”
The Forensic Doctor walked towards Yue Yiyao, bringing with her the sweet scent of food. Then, she held out a small, exquisite wristwatch with a dial featuring a golden osmanthus: “This is a gift your old acquaintance asked me to bring to you.”
Yue Yiyao didn’t know how she had said goodbye to the Forensic Doctor.
When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the bus back to the school.
Trees kept sweeping backward, and Yue Yiyao felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
She looked at the wristwatch that had suddenly appeared on her hand, curiously touching the dial. A small blue screen appeared before Yue Yiyao.
On this blue screen was a red dot, showing the location as the Computer Science Teaching Building at C University.
With just a glance, Yue Yiyao confirmed that this was the GPS tracker she wanted.
At this moment, Yue Yiyao was like a child who had received her beloved toy, caressing the item on her hand with great fondness.
At the same time, she noticed that the number next to the watch face began to jump upward.
17…
23…
47…
Finally stopping at 69.
This should be the mental value.
Yue Yiyao didn’t know why she was so certain about what this item was.
But she trusted her intuition.
She pressed the button on the side again, and a small, exquisite dagger appeared in her hand.
There were also four blood slots.
Very practical.
The vibration of her phone interrupted Yue Yiyao’s exploration. She took out her phone and saw the special number that could not be blocked. There was only one line of text:
“A small gift, please accept it. If you want to thank me later, come to A City early.”
In the most inconspicuous seat on the bus, Yue Yiyao quickly figured out the functions of the watch. Carrying a feeling of eagerness to show off her find, she got off the bus and quickly ran towards the Computer Science Building.
She would be able to show this to Gu Nanqiu very soon! She now had a small magical item, which might be able to help her…
Maybe it could protect her.
With this thought, Yue Yiyao rushed through the crowd, completely ignoring the strange looks from the people nearby.
When she arrived at the Computer Science Building in a hurry, there were still five minutes until class ended.
Yue Yiyao stood at the back door of the lecture hall, giving herself two minutes to calm her breathing. She instinctively touched the watch on her wrist, wondering how she should explain it to Gu Nanqiu later.
And how she should tell her about the origin of this item.
But she quickly noticed that the large lecture hall was silent; there was no sound of a teacher lecturing or students discussing.
The silence was too strange.
Yue Yiyao looked up and confirmed the floor—it was the building she had dropped Gu Nanqiu off at.
It was that classroom.
She had watched Gu Nanqiu walk in and choose her seat.
Holding her breath and lightening her steps, Yue Yiyao pushed the back door open just a small crack.
Instantly, all the students in the classroom turned their heads in unison, staring straight at her.
Xie Ying was among them. She was sitting by the door, her empty, lifeless eyes looking at Yue Yiyao, as if looking at a dying person.
On the blackboard behind them, it was densely covered with writing:
“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”
“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”
“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”
And the seat where Gu Nanqiu should have been sitting.
Was empty.
