Chapter 23: The Strange Girl

  Alas, the data is hard to look at, can anyone help and give a few more flowers? 3

  The next day, Jiang Qicai changed into a relatively clean and tidy set of clothes and squeezed onto the bus early. Although the wound on his neck still hurt a little, for someone who had died once like Jiang Qicai, this pain was nothing.

  July's fire, plus today's weather is exceptionally clear and sunny, with light clouds and gentle breeze. On the bus, many girls are wearing very casual short skirts and suspenders, showcasing their beautiful figures and long legs.

  Jiang Qicai shrank into the corner, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to try out his current Tianyan's ability to secretly peek at the girls' underwear. However, he discovered that this Tianyan was somehow unable to be opened no matter how hard he tried.

  "Then Ni Xue's resentful and indignant voice sounded in Jiang Qicai's ear, 'You rascal! I know what you're thinking in your heart, I absolutely won't let you succeed!'"

  Jiang Qicai sighed and stopped talking.

  But he still paid extra attention to a girl sitting by the window in the front row, who was reading a book called "Nine Deaths and One Madness" with great relish under the sunlight.

  At this moment, Jiang Qicai can only see her long hair fluttering back, but he doesn't know why he has a little interest in the girl's back.

  To be honest, this back view is quite ordinary, and her outfit isn't particularly sexy... but...

  Jiang Qicai noticed that when the girl was reading, the corner of the book was slightly trembling. Jiang Qicai's eyes rolled over and he squeezed over to take a peek at the author of the book, which seemed to be "Qian Xiaoye". Of course, Jiang Qicai only took a glance before shifting his gaze back to the girl's face.

  At a glance, Jiang Qicai's gaze suddenly stopped, and even his breathing was a bit unsmooth.

  There was no doubt that it was a beautiful face. However, what made Jiang Qichen's breathing uneven was not the girl's pretty face.

  But rather ——

  At this moment, on the face of that girl, a faint smile actually appeared. It can also be said that the smile also hid a few hints of mystery and enchantment.

  A girl is watching a horror movie in broad daylight, at this time she is looking at it with one eye, and her slender body is still trembling, but the corner of her mouth is actually revealing a faint smile, and the expression on her entire face does not show any sign of fear. Isn't all of this contradictory and unreasonable?

  Jiang Qicai couldn't help but shudder as soon as he saw the girl's expression.

  Moreover, what made Jiang Qicai feel even chillier was that the girl's face had no blood color at all, and it was pale to the point of being almost transparent! Jiang Qicai couldn't find any trace of powder on her face, and the wheel of reincarnation didn't issue a warning at this time, which proved that the girl in front of him was absolutely not a wandering soul, but...

  The girl's expression and facial color are also really scary. 3

  Jiang Qicai's curiosity was piqued, and he deliberately pulled out the hotel room magnetic card that was still on the ground and quickly bent down to pick it up.

  But just as Jiang Qi was about to look up, his eyes met the girl's, and he suddenly discovered that she was also secretly glancing at him with the corner of her eye.

  From Jiang Qicai's angle, it is even more possible to observe the girl's knife-cut face and pointed chin, as well as her skin as white as jade and her slender figure!

  Among the girls Jiang Qicai had met, only Wang Shiyu could compare with her! It can be said that this girl in front of him was top-notch in both figure and appearance!

  But however

  Those eyes alone!

  Those eyes that were extremely out of sync with her facial expression! At this moment, they were wide open, like a dead fish's eyes! It was as if a surge of murderous aura came rushing towards Jiang Qicai!

  Jiang Qicai never thought that a person's eyes could stare to such an extent! And without moving, they just stared at you straight, if it were someone else, they would probably scream on the spot!

  But Jiang Qicai was no ordinary person! His heart skipped a beat involuntarily, but his facial expression remained as calm as still water.

  As Jiang Qicai stood up, he also discovered something even more interesting!

  Because he happened to glance at the girl's student ID on her chest at that moment, and what was written on it was also "Private Hualian Academy!"

  But what made Jiang Qicai even more astonished was that on the student ID card, in the center, it was written: Qian Xiao Ye! The author of that book! Was this girl reading her own book at this moment? And it had already been published?!

  If that's the case, then she shouldn't feel scared at all because she should be familiar with every plot and development! Since...all the endings and plot developments were designed by her own hands, Qian Xiaoye reading this book would only feel like losing a horror novel's rightful suspense and fear.

  But then why is her hand still trembling at this moment? Why does she still feel afraid?

  Jiang Qicai increasingly felt that there was a profound and immeasurable mysterious power in this girl, which made Jiang Qicai's heart involuntarily cool.

  Jiang Qicai's head was bursting with thoughts, but he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation to penetrate the heart of this girl.

  Unless she's crazy, but is this possible?

  "Ding!" The car door suddenly opened at this time.

  The bus also issued a timely reminder that it had arrived at the station.

  Jiang Qicai and Qian Xiaoye got off the bus one after another. After walking through several streets together, Jiang Qicai suddenly saw a large campus standing on both sides of the road with a very wide gate.

  On the golden plaque that shone brightly, it was written: "Private Hualian Academy!" At the bottom of the gate, on the stone pillars, were also engraved a few abstract dragon and phoenix patterns.

  But by the time Jiang Qi came back to his senses and looked forward again, Qian Xiaoye's figure had suddenly disappeared.

  Jiang Qicai had no choice but to walk slowly towards the school gate along with the endless stream of people.

  "Classmate, who are you looking for?" Although Jiang Qicai didn't see any security guards at the school gate, a boy with a student-like appearance quickly blocked his way.

  "Oh, I'm here looking for a job! Excuse me, are you guys hiring security guards and night watchmen?"

  "You... you came here looking for a job?" The boy's expression suddenly became very strange after hearing Jiang Qi's words.

  "What's wrong?" Jiang Qi just saw the expression on the boy's face, his eyebrows furrowed.

  "Haha, nothing, nothing!" The boy subconsciously rubbed his hands together, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Just then, Jiang Qicai heard a very familiar female voice calling out: "Jiang Qicai!"

  Looking back, Jiang Qi saw Wang Shiyu holding a textbook and running quickly towards him. Behind her were Qu Ting and Zhang Lan, both with surprised expressions.
