Chapter 162 Jiang Yunmei

“This guy……”

Song Yutang grabbed the branches on the treetop, his eyes fixed on the giant human-faced snake that was coiled up and clinging to the dormitory building.

She originally thought that even if she encountered the female-faced snake again, she would be able to win like her master, so she had the confidence to complete the task.

As a result, it actually hit the snake, and it looked like a mature version of the snake, much stronger.

but……

Song Yutang recalled the scene of herself releasing electricity in the park. The scene was filled with thunder and fire. Even she was shocked.

“If we can gain the upper hand…”

Master once said that whether or not one can give it one’s all and fight without hesitation depends on one’s strength, and that’s when one’s spiritual perception comes in handy.

But unfortunately, if the difference in strength is particularly large, for example, an enemy she can easily suppress, or an opponent she cannot defeat at all, she can still feel it; if the levels are similar, it is difficult to distinguish.

The ghost in front of me happened to be within this range. Judging from the negative energy emanating from it, it is most likely an unusual and evil ghost.

Song Yutang didn’t hesitate for too long, she clenched her fists tightly.

Never mind, just fight first!

If you continue to hesitate, you will only miss the opportunity.

……

Fortunately, this ghost with a human face and a snake body was extremely large, but its spiritual perception was not sharp. It was completely unaware that there was a curse master lurking in a tree more than ten meters away from it, preparing for a sneak attack.

The last time they met, the master mentioned the “disadvantages” of the human-headed snake, and she also kept them in mind.
The blood is boiling, and the true energy is galloping in the body with great force, like a torrent blocked by a dam that is about to find an outlet and can’t wait to pour out and destroy everything.

The fiery “intention” burned from the heart inside to the body outside, and a strange tingling pain spread throughout the body, mixed with numbness and burning sensation.

Ever since learning how to control the curse, Song Yutang has rarely had this feeling.

At this moment, she couldn’t hold back.

Song Yutang closed one eye, slowly raised his hand, put two fingers together, and pointed the sword at the ghost.

Electric light dances on the fingers.

……

When the dense tree canopy could no longer conceal the figure of the curse master, in the dead of night, a strong indigo light suddenly bloomed, and a piercing noise cut through the darkness. The giant human-faced snake felt the threat rising from behind.

The pale face on the snake’s body turned around, and a dazzling light was reflected on the window behind the head.

The goblin’s pitch-black mouth opened, and it was greeted by a blinding torrent of lightning.

Song Yutang squatted on the tree trunk, aiming his finger at the giant snake’s head more than ten meters away. The true energy in his body quickly transformed into electric current, condensing at his fingertips, and finally condensing into an arrow of light that was impossible to look directly at.

“—!”

A sharp and silent blow that pierces through the air.

Along the trajectory of the sharp arrow, burning air dissipated everywhere, emitting the smell of ozone.

The girl’s hair fluttered in the wind, and the whole tree under her feet was shaking and swaying, with branches and leaves flying. She jumped down from the tree canopy and landed lightly.

When the lightning arrow flew out of his hand, Song Yutang could not guess the result;
But when the night was illuminated by the lightning on her body, the girl saw clearly:

The expression on the goblin’s face, which was always smiling gently, quickly changed and became hideous and ferocious.

“Ke Junchen” shook his head violently, trying to avoid the sneak attack, but his body was too huge. The strange body not only brought a sense of oppression and intimidation, but also made it a target that was difficult to dodge.

The arrow condensed from lightning easily pierced through the dark mouth.

Sudden heavy damage, the human-headed snake let out a silent roar, and immediately a bloody smell filled the air.

“…!”

Song Yutang fell to the ground and bent down slightly, his pupils clear and bright, staring intently at the other person’s movements.

She is a good athlete with excellent nerve reaction speed and observation ability. After becoming a curse master, she can bring these strengths to the extreme, so she wants to obtain the ability to strengthen her body.

The fishy wind was blowing, the treetops and branches were withered and drooping, the grass growing between the cracks in the stone slabs was dyed with a gray color, corroded and withered; the yin energy rising from the ghosts made the night even more dense and gloomy, and the howling of the wind could be faintly heard in the background.

A huge wound appeared at the throat of the human-headed snake. No blood flowed, only black mist flowed. The surrounding muscles squirmed to try to fill the gap, but the attack released by “Tian Lei Wuwang” had the characteristic of suppressing ghosts and monsters, making it impossible for it to recover on its own.

“Ke Junchen” was silent. It coiled up its body and looked down at the tiny human being from above.
Song Yutang did not act rashly. He calmed his breathing and recovered his inner energy while waiting for the other party to make a move.

But the next second—

The human-headed snake raised its head, twisted its body and quickly left. Black mist surged around it, and its huge body dissolved in the mist like a mirage.

“Wait……!”

Song Yutang clenched his teeth, clenched his fingers, and another electric current was emitted.

The arrow of light pierced through the black fog and fell to the ground, sparks flew, gravel burst, and left a charred dent; and the fog that wrapped around the human-headed snake swept away like a gust of wind.

“Ran away!”

Song Yutang chased forward and saw the other party using some kind of supernatural power to turn into wind and leave. Realizing that he could not catch up with him on his own, he could only stop and watch the black wind dissipate in the distance.

She didn’t know whether to feel relieved or disappointed, and her hands and feet felt a little sore.

This could force the opponent to retreat, which might be the best outcome…

Song Yutang was walking back when she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine starting up and the sound of tires rolling over the cobblestone road from the other side of the road in the distance.

She looked up and saw two bright beams of headlights sweeping across the dark road as a streamlined sports car sped away.

…This point appears here?

Song Yutang looked in that direction thoughtfully.

*
Day two.

Tianhai University, Student Union Office.

A sporty girl with a ponytail and a sweatshirt came to the door.

“Dong dong.”

“Please come in.”

A soft female voice answered the knock on the door.

Song Yutang pushed the door open, looked around, and found that there was only one person in the office.

“Today is a day off, and the other students are not here. May I ask who you are…?”

The girl sitting behind the central desk put down the documents at hand and looked at the visitor with an inquiring look.

“I’m Song Yutang, a sophomore in the School of Computer Science.”

She introduced herself and made eye contact with the girl behind the table.

“Song Yutang… Really? I’ve heard of your name. Nice to meet you.”

“Me too, Senpai.”

The girl sitting behind the desk has short hair dyed in a gradient brown color. The slightly curly hair falls casually, and she wears a pair of thin-framed glasses on her nose. The white silk women’s top and dark corduroy trousers give her a casual and mature temperament. She looks more like a female host on a TV show than a college student, and has a completely different style from Song Yutang, who prefers to dress in a sporty style.

The senior student wore a slender gold chain on her wrist and sparkling teardrop-shaped earrings. Her top, trousers, shoes, and even the handbag she casually placed on the table were all expensive luxury goods upon closer inspection.

Song Yutang was not interested in the luxury goods that most women liked, but she could recognize that although the clothes in her wardrobe were not cheap, they were mainly outdoor brands such as Arc’teryx or Mammoth, which seemed dwarfed by the other party’s.

Having said that, perhaps because the other person has good taste, or because his appearance and aura can hold up to the occasion, these clothes are matched appropriately and in line with his temperament, and do not appear to be deliberately stacked.

In short, at first glance, she looked like a fashionable and beautiful person, Song Yutang thought, and seemed to be from a wealthy family.

“Senior, you are the president of the student union, right?”

“Just call me by my name.” The other party’s voice was soft and calm.

“I’m Jiang Yunmei.”

……

“Song Yutang…what’s the matter with you coming here this time?”

The student body president adjusted his posture slightly and crossed his hands on the table.

“I think I’ve seen you.”

Song Yutang said.

“Last night, over there in the dormitory building.”

Jiang Yunmei didn’t answer, but just made a gesture.

“No need to stand and talk, please sit down.”

Song Yutang spoke after sitting down.

“Why did you do that?”

The student body president shook his head.

“I can ask you this question in reverse. At two o’clock in the morning, you appeared in that place, and you were lying on the tree. It looked really suspicious…”

Without waiting for Song Yutang to answer, she just laughed to herself.

“I’m just kidding. Yes, the person you saw was me. How did you get here?”

“I remember seeing a sports car. Although I didn’t see the license plate, I had an impression of the model. It was an Aston Martin. I asked around on campus, but I didn’t expect it to be a student’s car.”

She pointed to the tabletop, where a bunch of car keys with an Aston Martin logo were placed.

“Also, yesterday I mentioned your matter to a senior who I’m close to. She said that the student council president was interested in this matter, and later asked other members to come and accompany me, so I think this person can only be you.”

“Yes, very active.”

The other party nodded slightly, showing an appreciative expression.

“…”

Song Yutang’s mood was a little complicated.

I was praised, and by a girl who was only a few years older than me.

…Forget it, my master is still the same age as me. Song Yutang pretended not to hear and continued to ask:

“So, why were you there?”

“Same reason as you.”

The student union president took off her glasses and placed them on the table. She raised her fingers and rubbed her temples, looking a little tired. Song Yutang listened to her sigh and pointed out her identity in a calm tone:

“Mr. Song, you are the Curse Master, right? I saw you summon lightning to strike that ghost.”

…She can see it, Song Yutang thought.

“The same to you?”

Jiang Yunmei shook her head.

“My family has some connections with the Curse Master. I have come into contact with him and understand him, but I am just an ordinary person.”

She pointed to her eyes.

“It’s nothing more than the ability to see things naturally. That’s my limit. So, I don’t dare to stand in front of the monster like classmate Song did. I can only watch from afar and can’t help at all. Sorry.”

“Oh it’s all right……”

Song Yutang said that he could understand.

“I first realized that this school was threatened by an evil force because of Li Huishan. She hadn’t disappeared at the time, but because of my eyes, I noticed the abnormality in the new video she released, so I left her a message…”

“Unfortunately, the attack happened on the same day. By the time I realized that her facial mask had been circulating in the college for some time, it was too late. A janitor died on the spot, several people were in a coma… Li Huishan herself disappeared.”

“I followed the clues and found a doctor, and learned the name Ke Junchen from him.”

It turned out that someone was secretly investigating the incident just like her, Song Yutang thought, considering that she and her master took the doctor away after meeting him, it meant that Senior Sister Jiang found out the truth earlier than her.

Jiang Yunmei looked at her and asked in a certain tone:

“Li Huishan is dead, right?”

“Yes.”

“Student Song, can you tell me what happened that night?”

Song Yutang thought for a moment, made some adjustments without mentioning his master, and recounted his experience:

Several girls were controlled by the mask, and the janitor was killed by one of them. After that, all of them fell into a coma. Li Huishan turned into a monster with a human head and a snake body. After the body disappeared, only a head was left, and it lost its life in front of her.

“Sure enough, it was solved by classmate Song who was present at the time.”

Jiang Yunmei said.

“It’s really enviable to have that kind of power to slay demons and monsters.”

She said “envy” but her expression was very dull and it was hard to tell.

“Unfortunately, the ghost finally escaped. What are you going to do next?”

What to do… Of course, find “Ke Junchen” and destroy him.

This is the task assigned to her by her master, and Song Yutang will not give up easily.

“I have a proposal.”

As if she could see the firm belief in her heart, Jiang Yunmei suggested:

“Mr. Song really wants to destroy that ghost, right? I won’t ask why, but what I want to say is that I can help you.”

“…How can you help? Do you know where it is?”

“Ah.”

Senior Jiang nodded seriously.

“I think it might live in a mountain near the city.”

*
It was another morning, the sky outside the window was just getting light, the scenery was clear, and the autumn was bright.

“It’s today.”

Yi Qingyan held up the brim of her hat, a smile on her innocent face, obviously more energetic than usual. She had a sky blue cardigan draped over her shoulders, and a pair of jeans and white sneakers on her lower body.

Because she was preparing for a trip, she also prepared two sets of sun hats and sunglasses.

“Yes.”

Cen Dongsheng, who was standing opposite her, was carrying a large travel bag, stuffing everything they needed into it so that Yi Qingyan could “travel light”.

“Are you ready, brother? We’re leaving!”

My sister was in a good mood. She raised her thin white arm and pointed to the door.

“Ready at all the time.”

He answered with a serious face.

“The destination is – Baijing Mountain!”
