Chapter Thirty-Three: Soul Separation Technique

  "I'm going, I think I've eaten something bad." Su Qi woke up from her dream with a sudden stomach cramp, grabbed her phone and toilet paper, and rushed to the bathroom.

  Su Qi saw Yu Si coming down from the upper bunk in a daze, and casually asked, "Yu Si, did you also get food poisoning?" After speaking, she didn't wait for Yu Si's response and hastily left the room.

  "Ugh, I think I ate something bad for dinner tonight. Next time I'll be more careful." Su Qi Ruo was just released from the bathroom and saw Yu Si Si heading to the second floor. Wasn't her dorm room on the first floor? What was she doing going up to the second floor in the middle of the night? Su Qi Ruo was curious, but it wasn't convenient to call out to her at this hour. But what was she doing sneaking off to the second floor so quietly? Was she sleepwalking? Su Qi Ruo followed Yu Si Si, and even though they were close together, with no one else in the hallway, and their footsteps echoing clearly, why didn't Yu Si Si turn around to look back? Didn't she notice someone was following her? Was she afraid of ghosts? Su Qi Ruo quickened her pace to walk alongside Yu Si Si, but saw that Yu Si Si still had no reaction, just continuing to walk forward on her own. Su Qi Ruo turned her head to glance at Yu Si Si and saw that Yu Si Si's expression was wooden, her eyes half-closed in an unnatural way.

  Was she really sleepwalking? Su Qi heard that people who sleepwalk can't be woken up, or else they'll become mentally unstable after waking up. But could she just let her wander around the corridor in her pajamas like this? Wouldn't this disheveled appearance scare people? Su Qi looked up at the dim yellow light and then glanced at the walls that emitted a damp, moldy smell all year round - this old building of over 60 years was truly an excellent location for a horror movie! Even if she didn't shout to wake her up, what if some girl saw her like this and let out a scream? Ah, hopefully someone would get up at night too. For now, she could only temporarily follow her to prevent any accidents. Su Qi thought as she followed Yu Si Si, who walked purposefully towards the second-floor bathroom. The girls' dormitory was an old building that had been there since the school's founding, so the bathrooms were shared. As soon as they entered the bathroom, the large window with a bad smell faced them directly. Yu Si Si strode straight for the window, and the cold night wind blowing in through the window made Su Qi shiver. But Yu Si Si didn't seem to notice at all, still heading determinedly towards the window.

  What's she doing by the window? It's so late and she's sleepwalking, it's very dangerous! Su Qi Ruo quickly followed her, wanting to pull her back, afraid that she would fall out of the window, but also worried that if she used too much force, she would scare her. Su Qi Ruo was in a dilemma and couldn't think of a way to resolve both issues, so he could only stick close to Yu Si Si.

  Yu Sisi stood at the window for a moment, and then strangely changed her action to climb onto the windowsill. Su Qi Ruo saw this and thought it was getting out of hand, so she quickly closed the window with a "bang". Fortunately, the window was made of aluminum alloy and slid open easily, otherwise Su Qi Ruo would have been in trouble. Yu Sisi stood on the windowsill, her hands tightly grasping the window frame as if to push it open again. Su Qi Ruo also didn't dare think too much, and with both hands firmly pressed against the window frame, the two people were locked in a stalemate.

  Su Qi Ruo's physical strength was naturally inferior to Si Si's, and now she was using the power of the Water God's legacy to support herself. However, she was worried that she might unintentionally hurt Si Si, so she focused her attention on her. As she stared at Si Si, Su Qi Ruo discovered something unusual - a dark liquid was flowing down from Si Si's hand. Following the direction of the flow, Su Qi Ruo looked down and was shocked to see that it was Si Si's blood! Si Si had used too much force and had pinched her own hand until it bled!

  "Whoosh!" Just as Su Qi Ruo was stunned for a moment, Yu Si suddenly opened the window with great force and jumped out!

  “Si Si——” Everything happened too suddenly, Su Qi Ruo shouted in horror and stretched out her hand to grab, but it was a vast emptiness. “Si Si…” Su Qi Ruo's mind went blank for a moment. She leaned against the window and subconsciously looked outside, but didn't see the bloody scene, only an empty space below, nothing was there! How could there be nothing?! Su Qi Ruo regained consciousness in an instant, did I dream? A glimmer of hope rose up in Su Qi Ruo's heart for a moment, but... The warmth on her hand reminded Su Qi Ruo that everything was real. Su Qi Ruo looked at the bloodstains on her hand, which were left by Si Si just now. But where did Si Si go? How could she disappear like this?!

  "Hi!"

  At that moment, Su Qi was stunned, and this sudden shout shocked her back to reality. She turned abruptly in the direction of the sound, only to be met with Shi Ruiwen's seductive smile. "Shi Ruiwen?"

  "Shi Ruwen!" Su Qiruo repeated loudly, grasping Shi Ruwen tightly like a drowning person clinging to a lifeline, "Did you see it?! Where's SiSi?! Where's SiSi?!"

  "Shh!" Xi Ruiwen put her index finger to her lips, reminding her in a low voice, "You've startled the others in the dorm." As she spoke, she swept Su Qiruo off her feet and flew out of the window.

  When the two of them landed safely on the ground, Su Qi Ruo finally noticed that there was a barrier set up below the second-floor window, Lu Ke's barrier. She had been too tense earlier and hadn't noticed anything unusual down there. Su Qi Ruo let out a long sigh, feeling relieved in her heart. If Lu Ke's barrier was here, Si Si should be fine.

  Lu Ke opened his barrier to let Yang Rui Wen and Su Qi Ruo in. Indeed, they saw Yu Si Si standing safely inside the barrier, but she was mechanically walking forward, only to be blocked by the barrier, unable to stop repeating her forward motion.

  "What's wrong with Sisi?" Now Su Qi no longer thought that Yu Sisi was sleepwalking, how could there be such a strange sleepwalk, bleeding and jumping off the building but still moving forward, this was simply too eerie. Su Qi felt that Yu Sisi had been possessed by an evil spirit!

  Lu Ke caught sight of Xie Ruwen's hand on Su Qiye's waist, and his eyes rippled slightly, but he still walked calmly to Su Qiye's side, pulling her away from Xie Ruwen's restless hands. He even gave Xie Ruwen a warning glance before saying lightly, "She's been afflicted with the Soul Separation Technique."

  "What's a Soul Separation Technique?" Su Qi had never heard of this mysterious term, and she tried to nudge Yu SiSi, but Yu SiSi didn't react at all, as if she was immersed in a completely closed-off world.

  "It can also be understood as hypnosis." Lu Ke changed his words to a vocabulary that Su Qiruo could understand.

  "Why did she fall under the soul-snatching spell?"

  "Maybe it has something to do with her going to the back mountain." Lu Ke gazed in the direction of the back mountain, boldly guessing.

  "Why did she end up like this when we all crossed the mountain together today?"

  "Do you know anything about Yu Si's affairs?" Lu Ke withdrew his gaze, his piercing eyes staring straight at Su Qi Ruo. For a moment, Su Qi Ruo was taken aback by his question. Could it be that there were also unknown things about Yu Si? Or could she not be of the human tribe either?
