"Where’s the person?"
"Ding—Disgust value from Qiu Yuebai detected +2000."
If Lu Zixun hadn’t experienced it himself, he wouldn’t believe that such a beautiful girl could have such an unusual voice.
Walking past Qiu Yuebai into the room.
Lu Zixun looked around and located the source of the Abnormal Creatures’ presence—
It was emanating from a box on the table.
Just as Lu Zixun was about to activate his Heavenly Eye to take a closer look, a familiar voice reached his ears, "Brother Qiu, who’s there?"
"Don’t know, they’re probably at the wrong door."
After closing the door, Qiu Yuebai came back and lit a cigarette.
So Bai Xinxin is still in university!
No wonder Lu Zixun hadn’t seen Bai Xinxin since that day.
Lu Zixun raised his head and looked at Qiu Yuebai, who was smoking. It’s no wonder Bai Xinxin called her ’Brother Qiu’—her smoking demeanor was just like a big brother’s.
Bai Xinxin sat up from the bed, her strap slipping from her shoulder to her arm, which was quite tantalizing.
"Ma Jiang sent you another thing? Really, a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh."
Glancing at the stuff on the table opposite her, Bai Xinxin said with a yawn.
"...If it weren’t for the fact that we’re both chairpersons and I can’t help it, I’d really like to throw this thing in his face."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s thoughts shifted Could this thing have been sent by Ma Jiang?
Lu Zixun felt that the task Zeng Haoyang had given him might be coming into focus.
Ma Jiang mustn’t be simple if he could send gifts laden with Abnormal Creatures.
Activating Heavenly Eye, Lu Zixun scanned and saw the hidden creature inside— a Heart Confusion Spider.
The last time Gai Yue tried to control Lu Zixun, she had brought out the same thing.
After contemplating for a while, Lu Zixun decided to leave; he needed to find an opportunity to investigate this Ma Jiang.
Even if he wasn’t the mastermind behind the disappearances, he was certainly connected to the mastermind.
After all, not just anyone could package an Abnormal Creature into a gift box and send it as a gift without the creature harming them.
Considering the potential dangers of the Heart Confusion Spider, Lu Zixun surveyed room 315, looking for a way to kill the spider.
But before Lu Zixun could make a move, Qiu Yuebai threw the gift box into the trash can.
"Do I need this little twerp’s gift when I can earn over a hundred thousand a month?"
With the cigarette in her mouth, Qiu Yuebai turned to Bai Xinxin, "There’s a student council event in a few days. Shall we teach this Ma Jiang a lesson?"
"Sure, Brother Qiu, I’ll listen to whatever you say."
In the face of such a domineering Qiu Yuebai, Bai Xinxin was like an obedient bunny, nodding her head repeatedly.
Lu Zixun, watching from the side, was astonished. He quietly slipped over to the trash can and, using Magnetic Field Control, strangled the Heart Confusion Spider inside the gift box. Just as he was about to leave,
A tree branch unexpectedly rose from the ground, and Lu Zixun, caught off guard while invisible, was bound by it.
The person who made the move was Qiu Yuebai.
At that moment, with eyes flashing with the intent to kill, Qiu Yuebai stared at the spot where Lu Zixun was.
Feeling the wooden restraint that he could break free from at any moment, Lu Zixun weighed the options between escaping and revealing his identity for a moment and chose the latter.
After all, Lu Zixun still wanted to visit that event.
Besides, with Bai Xinxin here, it probably wouldn’t end in a fight.
An orange figure appeared in Qiu Yuebai’s line of sight, and upon realizing it was a cat, Qiu Yuebai raised an eyebrow, "Spirit Beast?"
Bai Xinxin also paused when she saw Lu Zixun, wondering why he would be at Qingniao University.
Lu Zixun raised his paw to greet the two people in front of him.
His claws popped out from the paw pads, severing the roots that wound around his body.
"Ding—shock value from Qiu Yuebai detected at +2000."
Seeing how easily Lu Zixun had cut through the superpower technique he was using, Qiu Yuebai looked at him in surprise.
Turning to Bai Xinxin, "Xin’er, do you know it?"
"Yep, an STO member."
She nodded slightly to indicate Lu Zixun’s identity. Lying on the bed, Bai Xinxin gestured to Lu Zixun, "How did you get here?"
Lu Zixun jumped up, landed on Bai Xinxin’s bed, and lay down, saying lightly, "I just smelled the scent of an abnormal creature and followed it here."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuebai frowned, sitting on Bai Xinxin’s bed and looking at Lu Zixun, "Are you... here to investigate the disappearance case?"
Listening to Qiu Yuebai’s polite address, Lu Zixun grinned at him, showing off his feline teeth.
"Right, Ma Jiang seems a bit complicated, but good thing you’re not interested in him."
Qiu Yuebai wasn’t a fool—in fact, he was a very shrewd man.
Hearing Lu Zixun say that, Qiu Yuebai glanced at the gift box in the trash can, "Are you suggesting that Ma Jiang hid an abnormal creature inside the gift he gave me?"
"Mhm, the Heart Confusion Spider, not sure if you’re familiar."
Lu Zixun nodded and continued, "No need to be so formal, just call me Da Ju."
As soon as he said this, the roots shredded the gift box in the trash can.
"Disgusting Ma Jiang."
There was a lingering disgust in Bai Xinxin’s eyes—it was clear she knew what the Heart Confusion Spider does.
"Lord Cat, are you implying that Ma Jiang could very likely be the mastermind behind the missing university students?"
Qiu Yuebai looked at Lu Zixun, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
After organizing his thoughts, Lu Zixun tilted his head and said, "Not exactly, his strength isn’t quite enough to be the mastermind behind it all. He’s probably more like an informant for the real culprit."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuebai’s brow knitted in thought before saying, "Ma Jiang is timid and evasive, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Does he have the courage for that?"
Lu Zixun twitched his whiskers and licked his paw before saying slowly, "What if the person isn’t Ma Jiang anymore?"
Realizing the implication of Lu Zixun’s words, Qiu Yuebai’s expression gradually turned grave.
After being sent out of room 315 by Bai Xinxin, Lu Zixun yawned and headed towards the fifth floor.
Three days later, Bai Xinxin would take him to that party.
They were going to a villa in the mountains, to stay for three days, with quite a few people attending.
Hearing this, Lu Zixun scoffed disdainfully.
If he wasn’t mistaken, abnormal creatures would definitely lie in wait at this villa, looking to parasitize more student council members, and slowly erode the foundations of Qingniao University.
Considering the high possibility of this, Lu Zixun decided to quickly head back and inform Zeng Haoyang and the others—they had to make sure that everything was foolproof.
Returning to room 521, he jumped onto Lin Siyin’s bed and comfortably rolled around.
Lu Zixun closed his eyes, ready to sleep, but was suddenly picked up by the neck by Lin Siyin.
Turning to look at Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun’s eyes were filled with confusion.
"Where did that lipstick mark on your neck come from?"
