It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Xu Wei's rented apartment was about 60 square meters, with a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, and a bedroom. They sat on the sofa in the living room, and Li Xianyu listened to Xu Wei's detailed account.

"I took out an online loan... the kind that takes photos. If I don't pay it back, they'll post my photos online, and also to my family, relatives, and school forums." Xu Wei's eyes were slightly red, and her voice revealed the fragility and helplessness of a young girl: "But I can't pay this money back. The interest is too high. They call me every day to urge me, and they've even called my parents. This is a warning. If I don't pay back the money, my photos will appear in my parents' inbox next time."

Li Xianyu frowned deeply. He was familiar with naked loans, a type of online usury specifically targeting women. Countless female college students had suffered from it. If they failed to repay on time, they would be threatened and become targets of exploitation and humiliation by evil forces.

"How could you take out a naked loan..." Li Xianyu scratched his head in annoyance: "Never mind, let's not talk about that. What's the deal with Zhang Mingyu?"

If the victim were a female college student he didn't know, Li Xianyu wouldn't feel any sympathy and would just chuckle twice: "Are you stupid?"

After all, the relationship between lenders and borrowers is like that of a whore and a dog.

He and Xu Wei had known each other for many years, and Xu Wei was not supposed to be such a materialistic girl.

"Zhang Mingyu promised me that if I spent a week with him, he would pay off my debt. That night we..." Xu Wei's face paled slightly as she spoke, "It really had nothing to do with me. He suddenly died. I was terrified and ran back. Li Xianyu, please don't call the police, otherwise my naked loan will definitely be exposed. Please."

Li Xianyu keenly sensed that something was amiss. If that was all, what did Zhang Mingyu mean by shouting "Run!"? How could someone leave behind such an obsession after death without a reasonable explanation?

He couldn't voice this question; he could only keep it buried in his heart.

How much money do you owe?

"I borrowed 3 yuan, and now with interest compounding, it's already 7 yuan."

7 yuan is indeed a considerable sum for Xu Wei, who comes from an average family. No wonder she was desperate and chose to sell her body to pay off her debts.

"7 is a bit much, but I still have some money on hand..." Li Xianyu pondered.

Xu Wei's eyes lit up. She moved her voluptuous hips closer to Li Xianyu, her eyes alluring, and whispered, "Are you really willing to help me? I definitely can't pay back this money, but I can compensate you in another way."

"I can stay with you for a week too," Xu Wei said softly, pressing close to Li Xianyu.

"real?"

"Mmm," Xu Wei replied in a soft, charming voice.

They have actually fallen to this level.

Li Xianyu's temple throbbed, and his face was full of disappointment: "How did you become like this?"

Xu Wei's eyes immediately reddened: "What can I do? I'm just a female student, and I don't have the ability to pay back the money. What else can I do?"

After a long silence, Li Xianyu sighed, "I'm going to the restroom first. We'll think about how to solve this problem later."

The 200,000 yuan left to him by his biological father could solve his immediate troubles, but even though it was a very good friend, he still had to think carefully about the huge sum of money involved.

The bathroom is small, but clean and tidy. Girls are generally creatures with a slight obsession with cleanliness (especially good girls who are good at home and family), so otaku like obedient and gentle girls.

The Yellow River flows down from the sky, its waters tinkling and gurgling.

After relieving himself, Li Xianyu washed his face. He looked handsome in the mirror, but his eyes were lifeless and his eye bags were heavy...

He decided to lend Xu Wei the money anyway. After all, they had known each other since the nine years of compulsory education, and Li Xianyu really didn't want to see her go astray. Everyone can go astray, and if you lend a hand when a friend goes astray, you might just save them.

Li Xianyu pulled out a tissue to wipe his face. Suddenly, his eyes burned. He instinctively pressed the tissue against his eyeballs, the heat stimulating his tear glands to secrete tears.

This feeling is...

Suddenly, a young woman covered in blood appeared in the mirror, standing right behind Li Xianyu with her head down, almost touching him.

Li Xianyu felt a chill run through his body, and his handsome face quickly turned pale. He looked at the woman in the mirror, who was right behind him, but he didn't dare to turn his head.

Just then, the woman raised her face, and crimson tears of blood streamed from her eyes.

"ah!!"

Li Xianyu couldn't help but let out his second shameful scream of the day.

The woman in the mirror vanished mysteriously, and her eyes stopped burning.

In the bathroom, in the mirror, only Li Xianyu stood there, trembling. The fear had not disappeared; instead, it overwhelmed him.

In a fleeting glance, he recognized the woman as Xu Wei!

Xu Wei?!

Has she turned into a ghost? Was she warning me just now?!

Who's in the living room?

who is she!

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Wei's voice came from the living room.

Li Xianyu ignored him, shakily scooped up the water, washed his face again, and thought to himself: Calm down, calm down!

Don't panic, don't panic...

No wonder, no wonder something felt off.

Xu Wei and he were very good friends. She had a cheerful and optimistic personality, but upon closer reflection, Xu Wei's behavior after entering the room was too bland. She maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far from him, the kind of casual distance she maintained with any friend. This was completely unlike Xu Wei's usual style of teasing him about being an "old hand" (a term used to describe someone who is experienced and manipulative).

Moreover, ever since he met Xu Wei, she had always been an excellent student, praised by classmates and teachers alike as a model student and a well-behaved child. During junior high school, Li Xianyu, driven by his longing for the opposite sex, had even harbored a secret crush on her.

Now, Xu Wei is not only taking out online loans, but also spending time with Zhang Mingyu to pay off her debts. She is now openly making deals with him, as magnanimous as a ten-year-old hen.

How could the girl I had a crush on in junior high school be such a slut?

No wonder Zhang Mingyu said "Run!" He might die at the hands of this fake Xu Wei.

Therefore, the Xu Wei I knew is very likely dead. Despite feeling sadness, anger, and grief, reason told him that it was time for a strategic retreat.

Taking a deep breath and washing his face, Li Xianyu strode out of the restroom.

"What happened to you just now?" Xu Wei asked, frowning.

"No, it's nothing. I slipped and almost fell, hitting my head on the wall," Li Xianyu said, forcing a smile. "It hurt so much."

"Don't worry, I'll cover your debt first and get those photos and videos back. From now on... don't take out any more naked loans. You can't touch that stuff. I can help you for now, but not forever." Li Xianyu finished speaking with a stiff face: "Okay, I'll go get the money first. You wait at home."

He walked to the door in a few strides, gripped the doorknob, and was just about to let out a long sigh of relief when suddenly his waist tightened as someone hugged him from behind. The woman behind him smiled and said, "Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Li Xianyu felt a chill run down his spine.
