Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 14

At exactly eight o’clock, Class A returned from their patrol outside.

Tang Congyue saw Xiao Huiwen and the other three stand up to greet them, so she followed suit, taking the kitchen knife from one of Class A’s members.

“Let’s go.” After saying this, Xiao Huiwen glanced at Tang Congyue, noticing her waving the kitchen knife around. A flicker of disdain crossed his eyes.

Xiao Huiwen and the other three walked out of the Fifth Cafeteria, while Tang Congyue trailed behind them, clutching the kitchen knife.

The patrol mission was simple, they only needed to circle the cafeteria once.

However, the outside was dimly lit, forcing them to rely on the faint light spilling from the cafeteria. They had to tread carefully while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

They moved slowly, yet even so, it took them less than ten minutes to complete a full circle around the Fifth Cafeteria.

“We can head back and rest now.”

The one who spoke was a boy over 180 cm tall. Through the dim light, Tang Congyue could see the relaxation in his facial muscles. She remained silent and followed them back to the Fifth Cafeteria.

At this moment, the first floor of the Fifth Cafeteria was eerily quiet. Xiao Huiwen and the others sat down near the entrance, chatting in hushed tones.

Tang Congyue took a seat nearby, placing the kitchen knife on the table. Her unusually dark eyes fixed on the sharp blade of the knife as she began to simulate in her mind how she could use it to kill a monster if they encountered one.

After resting for about half an hour, Xiao Huiwen and the other three stood up, picked up their kitchen knives, and left the Fifth Cafeteria. Tang Congyue followed them as usual.

This time, it again took them less than ten minutes to successfully circle the Fifth Cafeteria.

They returned to the cafeteria and sat down once more. The boy who had spoken earlier smiled and said to Xiao Huiwen, “Huiwen, I feel like tonight is another peaceful night.”

Hearing this, Tang Congyue glanced over and saw the boy named Huiwen pat his shoulder.

“What time is it? Don’t let your guard down!”

The boy felt a bit embarrassed by the remark and gave Xiao Huiwen an awkward smile. Noticing Tang Congyue watching him, he grew even more self-conscious and immediately lowered his head to stare at the kitchen knife in his hand.

Another half hour passed, and they set out on patrol again. This cycle repeated several times, and soon, deep night arrived.

The late night was silent, the dark sky devoid of stars or moonlight, heavy and unnerving.

Yu Kai looked up once and quickly lowered his head, his heart racing with unease. He couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Huiwen, who was walking at the front, and tightened his grip on the kitchen knife.

Don’t scare yourself…

Don’t scare yourself…

Don’t scare yourself…

After repeating this phrase three times, Yu Kai finally felt a bit calmer.

This patrol, they returned to the Fifth Cafeteria safely once again.

After another half-hour break, the time reached three in the morning.

“Just one more hour to go. Everyone, stay alert!” Before heading out for patrol, Xiao Huiwen reminded Yu Kai and the other two.

Upon hearing this, Yu Kai and the other two nodded in unison.

At this moment, Xiao Huiwen couldn’t help but glance at Tang Congyue, who was lagging at the back. Seeing her expressionless face, he frowned slightly but ultimately said nothing and led the way out of the Fifth Cafeteria.

…

Tap,

Tap tap,

Tap tap tap,

Not long after stepping out, Tang Congyue, with her keen hearing, detected faint movements nearby. She snapped her gaze toward the source of the sound and soon spotted a pitch-black monster.

The creature stood about a meter tall, its beastly eyes glowing with an eerie green light in the darkness.

As their eyes met, Tang Congyue tightened her grip on the kitchen knife in her hand. The monster lowered its body, let out a low growl, and lunged at her.

The monster’s roar also caught the attention of Xiao Huiwen and his three companions not far ahead. Using the faint light from the cafeteria, they quickly noticed the monster charging toward Tang Congyue.

“It’s a monster!”

“A monster is here!”

“Quick! Run back! Get Brother Zhao!”

This was the first time Xiao Huiwen and the others had encountered a monster head-on. Fear gripped them, and their instincts urged them to flee back to the fifth cafeteria. But when they saw Tang Congyue, a frail-looking girl, suddenly kick the monster in the head, sending it stumbling backward several steps, the overwhelming fear in their hearts suddenly dissipated.

Xiao Huiwen regained his composure and calmly said to the three behind him, “Yu Kai, go to the cafeteria and get Brother Zhao! The rest of you, fight with me!”

If even Tang Congyue, a girl, dared to confront the monster, how could they, strong and healthy young men, simply run away?

With that thought, Xiao Huiwen tightened his grip on his kitchen knife, let out a sharp cry, and charged toward the monster.

By then, the battle between Tang Congyue and the monster had reached its climax. Her icy gaze locked onto the monster’s, and for some reason, the creature abruptly halted its attack, standing dazed and motionless. Seizing the opportunity, Tang Congyue pounced, mounting the monster and clamping her legs tightly around its body. With her free hand, she grabbed the scruff of the monster’s neck and yanked it backward, forcing its head to tilt back uncontrollably. At the same time, she brought her kitchen knife down, slashing viciously at the monster’s throat.

Squelch,

A torrent of blood gushed out, drenching the hand that held the knife. But Tang Congyue remained vigilant, continuing to apply pressure until she had completely severed the monster’s head. Only then did she rise from its body.

Thud,

Freed from her restraint, the headless monster collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Huiwen, who had been preparing to join the fight, stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.

Who was he? What was he supposed to do? What had just happened?

Three question marks floated in his mind.

“Where’s the monster?”

“Where did it go?”

Just then, Zhao Jinhe arrived. As he approached, he was stunned to find the monster lying in a pool of blood, its head missing.

“Who killed…” the monster?

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Jinhe spotted a slender figure in the distance. She had her back to them, but in the dim light, they could see her holding a kitchen knife in one hand and the monster’s head in the other.

Hiss,

Gasps echoed around them.

At that moment, Tang Congyue turned around, her cold gaze inadvertently meeting Zhao Jinhe’s.

Suddenly, Zhao Jinhe shuddered involuntarily. When he regained his senses and realized he had been afraid of Tang Congyue, he grew irritated, his tone turning harsh. “Did you kill the monster?”

Tang Congyue didn’t answer Zhao Jinhe’s question, instead tossing the monster’s head far away. “Let’s deal with the monster’s body first, or the smell of blood will attract more of them.”

After speaking, Tang Congyue glanced toward Xiao Huiwen not far away.

Meeting her gaze, Xiao Huiwen suddenly understood her meaning. He sheathed his kitchen knife and quickly said, “I’ll drag the monster’s body away!”

With that, he grabbed the monster’s hind leg and began pulling it toward the fifth cafeteria.

Tang Congyue lowered her eyes to look at her sticky hands, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Then she strode forward, following behind Xiao Huiwen.

Zhao Jinhe frowned as he watched her leave. Only after she had gone some distance did he turn to ask the other two, “Did she kill the monster?”

“Yes! And she did it alone!”

Recalling how Tang Congyue had cleanly severed the monster’s head, Shi Shuai couldn’t help but shudder.

What… what a brutal woman.

Zhao Jinhe glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.

It seemed he had truly underestimated this woman, Tang Congyue.
