"I really want to see what humans look like after they’re cursed!"
’It’ was on the verge of crying.
I’m so dedicated to my job, I think about working overtime every day, but my owner just won’t allow it.
"If you do divination at will, I’ll get caught in a few days!"
Lin Baici dared not let the turtle shell be reckless because its divination was essentially a curse, a malevolent strength.
He turned around and saw that the boy was following him, so he knew he had been stuck with a plaster, and rushing toward the classroom building in the distance, he immediately charged inside.
Xu Donggui, worried about losing track of the person, also hurried over, then saw Lin Baici’s figure flicker on the stairs.
Without a thought, Xu Donggui took the stairs two at a time. He planned to make one more threat—if he really couldn’t get the turtle shell, he would go to his advisor.
At least that way, his advisor would benefit, and it would help his graduate exam preparations.
Xu Donggui chased up to the third floor but still hadn’t seen Lin Baici, which made him anxious.
Xu Donggui approached the doors of two classrooms near the staircase on the third floor, peering inside.
So, he ran up to the fourth floor, still no sight of him.
"Shit, that guy’s like a ghost!"
Xu Donggui cursed, and as he descended the stairs, he began to plan how to maximize his own interests.
Then, as he reached the sixth step, his foot suddenly slipped, and he missed his step.
Xu Donggui fell on the stairs.
He was completely dumbfounded, screaming as he tumbled down the steps, and then his head thudded against the wall.
Blood immediately gushed out, drenching his face.
Xu Donggui tried to call for help.
"Someone’s fallen down the stairs!"
"His head is split open, is he beyond help?"
Several students who witnessed the scene immediately started shouting.
Xu Donggui thought of the idea that had popped into his head when he used the turtle shell for divination.
If I had known there would be a bloody disaster today, I would not have left home.
Some enthusiastic students came over to help Xu Donggui.
Lin Baici appeared at the staircase entrance, looking indifferently at the boy who had blackmailed him.
Through his throbbing head, Xu Donggui saw Lin Baici standing on the third floor, his eyes that seemed to have anticipated this scene startled him.
Xu Donggui broke out in a cold sweat. Follow current novᴇls on novel-fire.net
Lin Baici waved his hand.
Xu Donggui was both anxious and angry, he thought Lin Baici said ’goodbye’, and he wanted to accuse him, but as he lost blood, his head, severely hit, could no longer form words.
Many students from the classrooms, hearing that someone had died, ran out to see the commotion.
Suddenly, the hallway was swamped with people.
Lin Baici went against the crowd, brushing past them.
He knew that at the last moment, he should not have appeared at the crime scene, let alone wave goodbye to that boy.
But the guy’s behavior was so disgusting, Lin Baici would have felt awful for a lifetime if he hadn’t mocked him.
Lin Baici exited the classroom building, the autumn sun casting a warm glow on him.
"What was that person’s divination result?"
Lin Baici was curious.
"Death by accidental fall!"
’It’ chuckled: "Actually, I prefer those slow, lingering deaths!"
Hearing his childhood friend’s voice made Lin Baici much happier.
"Where are you now? I’ll come to you!"
Li Wei’s energetic voice carried through the phone.
"In front of that cannon-like classroom building, under the plane tree!"
Lin Baici hung up the phone, and in less than five minutes, a familiar figure came speeding by on a mountain bike, so fast he seemed to ride on a whirlwind.
Li Wei squeezed the brakes.
The mountain bike came to a sudden stop in front of Lin Baici, with Li Wei planting one foot on the ground, he couldn’t help but exclaim after giving him a look, "How have you grown so tall in just a month?"
"Second growth spurt!"
Lin Baici blurted out casually.
"Your skin has improved too, and those eyes, so bright and lively!"
Li Wei parked his bike and came up to Lin Baici, looking him over carefully.
Because they grew up together as childhood friends, Li Wei was extremely familiar with Lin Baici; he could easily notice even the slightest changes.
Lin Baici pushed Li Wei’s head away: "I’m not a girl, stop staring."
[Such a blockhead, I worry I’ll catch something just by eating this prey!]
"How’s my mountain bike?"
Li Wei patted the bike seat, boasting, "Got it for just three hundred yuan!"
Lin Baici knew that Li Wei used to ride an old bike in high school and had longed for a mountain bike.
"During the first few days of school, I helped a senior move, and he saw I was hardworking, so he sold me this bike he didn’t use anymore."
Li Wei let out a chuckle: "I checked online, and it’s originally over two thousand yuan!"
"By the way, how did you come over?"
Lin Baici observed Li Wei, who still looked the same as before: round-faced, short-haired, with little eyes, utterly average, perfectly healthy.
But probably because of the summer work, his childhood friend had tanned, and his spirits were incredibly high; it seemed he had adapted well to the new environment.
"Then ride this back!"
Li Wei slapped the mountain bike: "The campus of Haijing Polytechnic is several times bigger than this normal university, you’ll need it for daily use, save you the walk to and from class."
