The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 937 A Golden Crow (Part 11)

Just moments ago, they were mistaken by the librarian, Lao Li, for a quarrelsome "young couple," and they staggered all the way to the lakeside behind the library.

The night was deep, and there was no one around.

The girl shoved the boy to the ground with such force that his face slammed hard against the concrete curb, nearly breaking his teeth.

The boy had just propped himself up, but before he could even stand up straight, she kicked him down again.

If Lao Li were still nearby, he would realize that this doesn't look like a couple at all; it's just a relationship of threat and being threatened.

"Tell me, why did you want to kill me?"

Under the moonlight, the girl lowered her eyelashes and played with a scalpel in her hand, which reflected a chilling silver light.

"I……"

“Answer seriously, or I’ll tell the police you drove Zheng Qiran to his death.”

These words made the boy's face turn deathly pale instantly.

This girl is naturally Liu Sheng.

Just as she put the book back, the boy suddenly attacked her from behind the bookshelf. However, Liu Sheng had already sensed his presence from the exposed toes of his shoes and his heavy breathing, so she was prepared.

She didn't even use her tentacles; with just basic martial arts skills, she quickly snatched the knife from his hand, subdued him, and then casually stuffed a soft object into his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

Anyway, he couldn't see what it was, and he just felt that he couldn't even move his tongue.

Of course, Liu Sheng was still worried that he would struggle and show something was wrong.

When they passed the administrator, Liu Sheng pretended to be affectionate and took his arm, but actually used her inner strength to lock his whole body, while the scalpel that originally belonged to him was quietly pressed against his waist.

He probably thought Liu Sheng wouldn't make a move, and was about to shout, stammering, when the sharp tip of the knife pierced through his clothes and stabbed into the flesh on his side.

He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not move again.

At this moment, he made a "woo-woo" sound, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Liu Sheng calmly pinched his jaw, as if removing something.

The movement was so fast that he didn't even have time to see what it was; he only felt that the lump pressing down on his tongue in his mouth had disappeared.

With a sigh of relief, I felt a little better.

Only Liu Sheng saw that a chaotic mass flashed past his throat and burrowed down, but he didn't feel anything unusual about it.

"I……"

The boy, clutching the still-bleeding wound on his side, gained a clearer understanding of Liu Sheng's ruthlessness. He swallowed hard and cautiously continued:
His name is Li Xiaofan.

"Isn't it?"

Liu Sheng raised her hand, showing a student ID, and slowly said:

"Your name is Qu Fan, and you major in veterinary medicine."

"How did you get it?!" Qu Fan's face turned bright red instantly after his lie was exposed.

"It's in your pocket, you can find it by just looking around," Liu Sheng said casually.

Qu Fan was shocked, but even more so, he was terrified.

He really couldn't understand when this girl had searched his belongings; it was truly shocking.

Liu Sheng, however, was concerned about something else.

Her "OOC index" has never risen.

This shows that although she was stronger and quicker, and could still take things from his bag without him noticing, it was still "reasonable" in Qu Fan's eyes.

Combined with what was said in the note—

"You know who I am."

Liu Sheng uttered these words in a cold voice, not as a question, but as a confirmation.

Qu Fan was suddenly jolted.

"You know what Zheng Qiran did to me, right?"

"What's your relationship? Are you from the same hometown?"

"Oh, I guessed right."

Liu Sheng observed his changing expression while slowly pressing him for answers.

"So what did you get in return? You chose to invest in me, hoping to contribute to Zheng Qiran's academic career... and what happened? Zheng Qiran committed suicide because of rejection..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qu Fan roared, "It wasn't suicide! It was clearly you—"

Fortunately, this was just a dark corner by the lake, and there was no one around, so the roar didn't travel far and was immediately swallowed by Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng leaned closer and said slowly and deliberately:
"Oh... Zheng Qiran just mentioned that 'I' discovered something, and then she died, so you think I killed her?" Qu Fan's face twitched uncontrollably as the hand tightened around his throat, and he forced out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"What you did...only you know..."

"So you want to kill me for revenge?"

"Yes... I didn't expect it... but I saw you... in the library... reading that book..."

"You...so you knew all along..."

Liu Sheng never expected that reading Professor Shen's book would actually confirm Qu Fan's suspicions, so he decided to kill him.

It seems that Qu Fan and Zheng Qiran have a really good relationship, which is why they would take such a risk and kill someone without any regard for the consequences.

However, the method of murder was truly crude.

"A college student... how meticulous can you expect him to be? Besides, Qu Fan doesn't seem to be the particularly clever type," "World" analyzed.

[It's likely that using books to relay messages was Zheng Qiran's idea; only she has that kind of ingenuity. Qu Fan was just assisting her.]

"So what does Zheng Qiran want you to prepare?"

Liu Sheng stared at Qu Fan, her tone icy, "Veterinary medicine major...is that preparing meat? For me to eat?"

Judging from Qu Fan's expression, he was right.

"Those numbers are the times you're supposed to leave the raw meat in, right? Where are you going to put it? You can't exactly crawl into the girls' dormitory bathroom to give it to me, can you?"

"And what exactly... compels me to eat raw meat? What will happen if I don't?"

Qu Fan's expression changed slightly, "You...don't know..."

Liu Sheng frowned.

Just as Qu Fan was about to speak, the darkness by the lake suddenly surged, as if something was slowly encroaching, and a faint eerie aura emanated from Qu Fan.

Liu Sheng still doesn't know what happened.

But then he saw his subordinate Qu Fan suddenly convulse violently, making a few "uh-uh" sounds, uttering strange syllables that sounded like sleep talking or coming from another language system; in short, he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Because of excessive force used in the masseter muscle, blood seeped from the mouth.

His eyes even rolled back suddenly, revealing the back of his bloodshot eyeballs, and you could even hear the sound of tendons snapping and cracking.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Liu Sheng quickly let go.

At that moment, Qu Fan's hand stiffened and he raised it with lightning speed, his fingernails digging into his neck until they bled.

If Liu Sheng had let go even a moment later, those nails would have dug into her hands.

Liu Sheng tried to stop it.

Just as the tentacle was about to emerge from his mouth, a notification suddenly sounded:

[OOC Index: 35%]

Liu Sheng immediately stopped what she was doing.

It seems we can't expose this.

Under some unknown gaze.

And so, he could only watch helplessly as Qu Fan convulsed and ultimately died by severing his own trachea with his own hands.

He stopped breathing.

A summer night breeze swept across the lake, creating ripples.

Liu Sheng stood there, staring at the corpse on the ground, a strange sense of powerlessness welling up inside her.

She didn't know who the enemy was.

But she knew that some unknown force was interfering.

It is very likely that Zheng Qiran also died from that force.

Qu Fan died while trying to reveal the secret within He Tao's body, as if some being had deliberately sealed his mouth.

The source of that power lies dormant within He Tao's body.

This is what she fears most.

Perhaps at some point, she will be forced to end this high-dimensional analysis because of this power, missing out on [a golden crow].

Although there was still one more chance, Liu Sheng didn't want to waste it.

Therefore, she had to race against time to find out the truth and prevent her from dying in vain.

Of course, what she needs to do now is to clean up the scene and leave no trace of her.
