Chapter 65

She looked at the confused Yang Shishi and the still-sleeping Li Qiuyu, her brows furrowing.

She had a feeling that this demon would entangle all four of them.

With that thought, Chloe looked at Yang Shishi and said, “I’ll go to your house today to take a look, is that okay?”

Yang Shishi naturally didn’t refuse. Instead, she said enthusiastically, “Okay, I’ll tell my family to make more food.”

Chloe didn’t say much. On the other hand, Liu Menglu looked at the day’s temperature on her phone and took out a jacket to cover Li Qiuyu. Liu Menglu’s movements were not gentle, yet Li Qiuyu didn’t wake up.

Yang Shishi and Chloe frowned at the same time.

Chloe was a pragmatist. She felt that there was something wrong with Li Qiuyu and wanted to wake her up, but Yang Shishi stopped her.

“?”

Yang Shishi said, “Perhaps what she’s looking for is in her dreams.”

Chloe nodded. “Help me keep an eye on her.”

“I thought you hated her,” Yang Shishi said. An outsider might not know, but as a child of a magical girl, and one who was almost a magical girl herself, Yang Shishi naturally knew Li Qiuyu’s identity. However, since Liu Menglu hadn’t introduced them, she didn’t acknowledge her.

Yes, Yang Shishi and Li Qiuyu knew each other. Although they weren’t very close, they had trained together when they were young.

However, Yang Shishi was an ordinary magical girl, while Li Qiuyu was the future heir of the Li family.

“I won’t hate her as long as she doesn’t get close to Mengmeng.”

Chloe looked at the sleeping Li Qiuyu, and a warmth entered her dark golden eyes.

Every magical girl’s initial feeling toward another magical girl would not be malicious, because magical girls were truly one of the greatest groups of people in the world. They gave up many things and lost a lot to protect the world.

Such people were worthy of admiration.

Of course, being worthy of admiration was one thing, but liking the other person was another.

“You’re so hard to deal with.” Yang Shishi shook her head with a smile, then looked at Chloe curiously and asked, “What about me?”

“I naturally hate you too.”

“Abababa.”

Li Qiuyu slept for a long time, not waking up until it was time for lunch. During this time, there were teachers who passed by, but everyone seemed to be unable to see Li Qiuyu.

This discovery made Liu Menglu feel relieved and a little envious. Is this the power of a magical girl? Wuwuwu, she also wanted to sleep under the teacher’s nose.

“Are you awake?” Yang Shishi asked.

“Mhm.” Li Qiuyu looked around, a little dazed. After a moment, she came to her senses, her face stiffening. She quickly took out her phone, and sure enough, it was full of missed calls.

Just as she was about to call back, she heard a commotion outside.

Before she could listen carefully, the words “Someone committed suicide” and “Someone jumped off a building and died” were already coming from all directions.

Since this was the type of incident she had dealt with the most recently, Li Qiuyu was the first to jump up and run toward the girl who had jumped. Liu Menglu wanted to follow, but she was stopped by Chloe and Yang Shishi.

Although they didn’t know the situation, it was better for an ordinary high school student not to come into contact with a dead body.

Looking at the two friends who disagreed, Liu Menglu had no choice but to give up. It was at this moment that Chloe gave Yang Shishi a look. After Yang Shishi nodded knowingly, Chloe also walked toward the crime scene.

Liu Menglu looked at their interaction and felt a pang of loss. For some reason, she felt that Chloe was leaving her, and the person who was making Chloe leave her was Yang Shishi.

When this thought came up, Liu Menglu didn’t believe it, but no matter how hard she tried to get rid of it, she couldn’t.

This feeling was as if someone was constantly whispering in her ear, “Chloe and Yang Shishi have betrayed you at the same time. Look at how in sync they are. Even though they’ve only met and talked a few times, they are very close now. They must be in contact in a place you don’t know about.”

This whisper was like a curse, constantly circling in Liu Menglu’s mind. Finally, Liu Menglu couldn’t take it anymore.

“You and Aiai seem very close, even though you were arguing the last time you met.”

When she asked this question, Liu Menglu’s throat felt dry and her voice was tight.

Yang Shishi hadn’t expected her friend to ask this. Based on Liu Menglu’s personality, shouldn’t she be very happy to hear this news?

She looked up in confusion, meeting Liu Menglu’s nervous and uneasy eyes, not understanding.

Liu Menglu seemed to have realized her loss of composure and quickly said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to say. I was just a little curious.”

After saying this, Liu Menglu didn’t even believe her own excuse. At the same time, she was frustrated with herself for being this way and thinking like this.

Although Yang Shishi found it strange, she was already in a bad mental state and just ignored it.

“Chloe and I are not close.”

Lies!

That was Liu Menglu’s first reaction.

She lowered her head, looking uneasy or sad. At this moment, her heart was a mix of emotions, as if a spice bottle had been spilled.

At the same time, Li Qiuyu looked at the dead girl in front of her. Her first reaction was that this person had died by the hands of a demon.

The next moment, she began to contact her subordinates to come and protect the crime scene.

Li Qiuyu’s intuition told her that the clue about that demon was on this girl.

Chloe, who arrived shortly after, also saw the girl who had jumped to her death. She looked at the red thread on the girl’s neck and fell into thought.

She had seen that red thread somewhere before.

Li Qiuyu was not surprised by Chloe’s arrival. Instead, she asked,

“Did you find anything?”

Chloe was just staring at the dead girl’s neck in a daze. Following Chloe’s gaze, Li Qiuyu also saw the red thread. She hooked her finger, and the red thread was pulled out.

Li Qiuyu untied the red thread and found that it was just an ordinary red thread, not a magical item.

It was at this time that the teacher hurried over.

Seeing Chloe and Li Qiuyu standing near the body, he loudly shooed them away.

“You two students, get away from there. Don’t go near it. We’ve already called the police. Don’t tamper with the crime scene.”

Hearing this, Li Qiuyu and Chloe left at the same time.

One could go to the police station for a closer look, and the other believed she had found a key piece of evidence.

Their departure made the teacher sigh in relief, and he was also curious about which class these two brave girls belonged to.

As Li Qiuyu left, she was still holding the red thread in her hand, frowning and lost in thought.

Chloe also couldn’t remember where she had seen this red thread. By the time the two of them came back to their senses, they were back in the classroom.

Liu Menglu nervously came closer. “How was it?”
