Chapter 31: How to resurrect Takamatsu Deng.

Shiina Riki's roar was like the roar of a wild beast. Like a mad lioness, she pounced on Bai Ye and pinned him to the ground. Before Bai Ye could react, Riki's fists rained down like raindrops, hitting his face, chest, abdomen... Each punch was filled with her rage.

"You bastard! The light's only been dead for three days!"

Li Xi beat and scolded him, his voice hoarse and filled with tears.

Hakuno instinctively protected his head, trying to avoid Riki's attack, but her attack was too fierce and he was unable to resist.

"Wait! Lixi! Let me explain..."

Bai Ye tried to explain, but Li Xi didn't listen at all. She punched even harder, as if she wanted to beat Bai Ye into a pulp.

"Explain? What else is there to explain? I saw it all! You and her...you..."

Lixi's voice was choked, she couldn't say any more, and her fist stopped in mid-air.

At this point, Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you so angry..."

"Boom!"

Li Xi's fist hit Bai Ye's face hard, knocking all his complaints back into his throat.

After doing this neatly, she took a few deep breaths, then raised her head and looked at Toyokawa Shoko.

"Toyokawa Shoko...are you crazy?"

"I am normal."

Xiangzi answered.

Then, Xiangzi continued, "I was just performing magic with Hakuno."

"Don't think I can't tell, you two must have slept together!"

Li Xi growled.

"Sex is the most basic magic."

Xiangzi said lightly.

Li Xi bit his lip and was about to stand up and start the second stage -

"alright, alright!"

Li Xi was hugged from behind, "I don't know what the relationship is between you two, but that's not what we're talking about, is it?"

The person who grabbed Shiina Ritsuki was Chihaya Aine. She hugged Ritsuki tightly from behind and pulled her away from Hakuno with force.

Riki paused, her chest heaving violently like a worn-out bellows. Aine's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, reminding her of the purpose of her trip. She took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress her surging emotions. She stared intently at Hakuno and asked word by word, "Do you... do you know how to revive the lamp?"

Bai Ye slowly got up from the ground, rubbing his cheeks and abdomen that were hurt by the beating, with a helpless look on his face.

"I'm trying hard, what else do you think I'm doing?"

"Effort? You call that effort?!"

Li Xi laughed in anger, pointing at Xiangzi, his voice trembling, "You and her...you..."

"Love affairs between men and women can generate magic, and this can be used to create the magic of resurrection."

Bai Ye rubbed his swollen cheek and said, "This is the most common and simplest magic since ancient times. It is perfect for novices like us."

"You are crazy!"

Li Xi gritted her teeth, squeezing out these three words. She couldn't believe her ears. The method for resurrecting the lamp was actually... such a despicable method?!

Bai Ye shrugged noncommittally, "What about you? What method of resurrection did you find?"

Li Xi was speechless for a moment. She had indeed found a way, but that method... She hesitated, not knowing whether to say it out loud.

Seeing Li Xi's hesitation, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, "Why? Is it some shameful method? Even more shameful than what I did?"

"certainly not!"

Li Xi immediately refuted, but his tone was a little weak, "What I found is... is..."

"What is it?"

Hakuno asked.

"...You said you could revive the lamp by doing something like this?"

Bai Ye touched his head and said, "Yes, I made the lamp descend upon Xiangzi yesterday... Not only that, I also learned from the lamp who killed the lamp."

Hearing this, Riki, Aine, and Xiangzi all looked at Hakuno in surprise.

Especially Xiangzi, she stepped forward and grabbed Bai Ye's sleeve, "Bai Ye, this matter——"

"I'll tell you about this."

Hakuno held Xiangzi's hand and continued, "The one who killed Deng, no... should I say it, the one who killed Deng was a 'curse'."

Li Xi instinctively reached out and tightly grasped the curse beads in his pocket, his knuckles turning white. Thinking back on it now, Deng's death was truly bizarre—the neat cuts, the strange flowers... an ordinary homicide would never have resulted in such a result. Could it be that Deng was truly cursed to death by another curse master?

Just as her thoughts were swirling, Chihaya Aine's suspicious voice broke the silence: "Wait, you said you knew that Deng was killed by a curse, but you don't know who the murderer is? This logic doesn't make sense! Besides, who can prove that you really summoned Takamatsu Deng's soul? Maybe..."

Aiyin pierced Xiangzi with a sharp gaze, "Maybe this woman is lying!"

Xiangzi was silent for a moment and did not respond to Aiyin. Instead, he looked at Lixi with a hint of pity in his eyes and said slowly, "Lixi, you look really ugly like this."

Li Xi raised her head suddenly as if she had been pricked by a needle and glared at Xiangzi. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes red, but she stubbornly refused to cry.

"I'm ugly? I can't compare to you, right? I can't compare to you using your body..."

"do not talk!"

Chihaya Aine interrupted her loudly, "Ritsuki! Calm down!"

She turned to look at Xiangzi, and her tone softened. "Miss, please don't provoke her. The most important thing now is to figure out the lamp issue, isn't it?"

Xiangzi sighed softly, and his eyes moved away from Li Xi and fell on Bai Ye.

"Hakuno, are you really sure... that the curse killed her?"

Bai Ye rubbed his swollen face and nodded, "I heard it with my own ears, from the soul of the lamp."

He paused, then added, "I'm sure of it."

"...Why are you telling me now?"

Xiangzi's face was shrouded in shadow.

"Tell you……"

Bai Ye turned his head away, "I think, Xiangzi, you don't need to know about the lamp."

Li Xi turned her eyes sideways and clearly saw a flash of sadness in Xiangzi's eyes.

Where does that sadness come from and why does it come?

Li Xi didn't want to think about the answer to this question.

"...That's enough! Compared to your magic, I have a better and more reliable way to resurrect people!"

Li Xi spoke roughly.

She didn't want to watch such a terrible drama anymore. "I have a real way to revive the lamp."

After saying that, Li Xi immediately took out the "Abandonment Channel" from his pocket and showed the curse bead to the two puzzled guys.

"As long as I have this mantra bead and use it to kill someone, I can revive the lamp!"

Behind Riki, Chihaya Aine slapped herself in the face.

Now talking about this?

Chapter 32: Nagasaki Suyo.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't sleep well last night.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she could always hear some painful sounds.

The voice sounded familiar, but Su Shi couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Considering that this apartment has excellent sound insulation, unless someone downstairs is shouting at a very loud voice, otherwise... it should just be Su Shi's auditory hallucination.

Nagasaki Suyo sat up in bed and rubbed her temples. Last night's dream was chaotic and depressing, leaving her feeling like she'd been severely beaten. She threw back the covers and stepped barefoot on the floor. A cool breeze sobered her up a bit. She walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water wash over her face. The mirror reflected a slightly haggard face, with dark circles under her eyes particularly noticeable, making her look like she'd overindulged.

"Damn..."

Su Shi cursed under her breath, turned on the water, and grabbed a towel to wipe her face. She didn't want to go out in this state. She dug out her makeup bag from the shelf and began carefully applying makeup in front of the mirror. Concealer, foundation, eye shadow, mascara... layer after layer, she applied it until the person in the mirror regained her former delicate and capable look.

Su Shi gave a satisfied smile to the mirror, finally looking like a human being.

After packing herself up, Su Shi walked out of the house. She also wanted to go look for Xiangzi today. After all, the longer Xiangzi was missing, the more dangerous he would be.

She got into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator slowly descended, so smoothly that it was barely perceptible. With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Not to the first floor, but to the downstairs.

At this moment, an angry figure rushed into the elevator, followed by a girl with pink hair, who followed closely like a little tail.

"Lixi?"

Su Shi blurted out subconsciously.

Shiina Riki, who had gotten into the elevator, suddenly looked up and saw Su Shi. He was stunned at first, then seemed to remember something, "Oh, it's you... Yes, you live upstairs from Hakuno."

There was a hint of impatience in her tone, and she was obviously in a bad mood.

The pink-haired girl got in as well, and the elevator doors closed behind them.

"Were you going to see Hakuno just now?"

Su Shi asked casually, but his eyes were looking at Li Xi and the pink-haired girl behind her without leaving any trace. The girl noticed Su Shi's gaze and showed a stupid smile.

Li Xi didn't answer, just sulked.

The pink-haired girl spoke for her, "Just now, Mr. Hakuno and Riki had a quarrel..."

"That guy is a Japanese traitor!"

Li Xi stamped his foot. "You don't believe in Japanese methods, but Western magic!"

...What are you talking about?

"Japanese traitors? Western magic?"

Su Shi raised her eyebrows, and her delicate makeup couldn't hide her confusion at the moment, "Li Xi, what are you talking about? What did Bai Ye do again?"

Li Xi scratched his hair irritably, seemingly unwilling to talk more. "Don't mention it. Anyway, that guy is just a jerk who worships foreigners and fawns on them! He actually said that our methods are useless and that we should believe in magic..."

"magic?"

Su Shi was even more confused, "What magic?"

The pink-haired girl who had been silent the whole time spoke at this time, "Um... hello, Ms. Suyo, my name is Chihaya Aine, and I'm Riki's friend."

She smiled sweetly, looking harmless. "Actually, this is what happened..."

"Hakuno and Riki had a fight over the cosplay thing..."

Aiyin explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

It turned out that Bai Ye and Li Xi had quarreled over something particularly boring. Both of them insisted on their own opinions and could not convince each other, so they ended up parting on bad terms.

As for what exactly happened...Aine remained tight-lipped and didn't say anything at all.

The elevator dinged and finally reached the bottom. As the doors opened, Shiina Riki bolted out as if his butt was on fire.

"Sorry, Li Xi is a little anxious today." Chihaya Aine stuck out her tongue and smiled sweetly at Su Shi, "Miss Su Shi, I'm going to catch up with Li Xi first. See you later!"

After saying that, he trotted out to chase after him.

Sushi watched the two men depart and sighed softly. Hakuno and Riki's argument, cosplay, Japanese traitors, Western magic... these words tangled in her mind. She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She shook her head, pushing these chaotic thoughts aside. The most important thing now was finding Xiangzi.

Xiangzi has been missing for two days. Although she is usually carefree, Su Shi always has a lingering uneasiness in her heart. She goes to the Live House that Xiangzi often goes to, pushes open the glass door, and the loud music instantly rushes out.
