A puppet with a blood-covered face, contorted with malice and malevolence, was perched on her shoulder.

The key point is that the puppet looks tattered and broken, even missing one eye. The empty space gives it a feeling of being in an abyss.

It has to be said that it successfully startled them, and everyone immediately screamed.

Yukino was on the phone with her older sister when Haruno heard the scream and hurriedly asked her sister if something had happened.

Yukino was there and knew what had happened, so she immediately said that cockroaches had appeared, which startled all her female members.

After hearing her sister's words, Yang Nai had some doubts, but after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. After all, she wasn't even there, so there was no way she could know what had really happened. Since her sister had said so, she could only assume it was true.

Immediately after Yukino finished talking to her sister, her expression turned sour. Then, seeing the girls all looking so timid and cowardly, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

Knowing what happened, all she could say was, "These people are so addicted to eating!"

Yukino's current mindset is completely one of talking without understanding the situation, and the other girls seem to have noticed her gaze as well. They're all girls, how could they not understand the meaning behind each other's eyes? Then, one of the more cunning girls immediately spoke up:

"Hey junior, don't you want to check what's behind you?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino's face froze. To be honest, she was also afraid of such things!

The senior in black stockings seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the other person, and instead of letting him go, she pressed him harder.

"Oh, Yukinoshita-senpai, are you scared? You don't even dare to look behind you to see what's behind you?"

Chapter 43 Yukino, have you thought about what kind of price you're willing to pay?

Yukino, seeing the other's provocative expression, felt a surge of anger. Without a word, she said, "Fine, I'll look." She then picked up the mirror they had been using and placed it in front of her. Not only did she see the scene behind her, but upon seeing this, she screamed and smashed the mirror case on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned deathly pale, and he began to tremble.

Miku wasn't angry when she saw her things being smashed, because she would have done the same in that situation. At the same time, she felt sorry for the seemingly aloof girl, since the other girl was really in a bad situation, getting entangled in these things for no reason.

Seeing the other person's state, Lin Qi immediately drew a talisman and sent it into the other person's mind. In an instant, Heino, who was unable to think due to fear, was much better because of the influence of the talisman.

However, still pale-faced and trembling, he spoke:

"Lin...Lin Qijun, what was that just now?"

Lin Qi saw that the other person was trembling. He walked over, patted the other person's head, and spoke in a soothing tone.

"I don't know what this thing is, but it's not as scary as you think."

"So there's no need to be so scared. Calm down. After all, nothing unexpected will happen with me here. All you need to do now is tell me if anyone in your family has experienced this?"

Yukino felt a sense of calm inexplicably from 07's presence, and slowly regained her composure. Instead of immediately answering his question, she blushed and spoke:

"Your hand."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately faced death stares from the girls present, given his earlier demeanor. They had instinctively assumed it was an attempt to appease him, but now, judging from his expression, it was clearly not appeasement at all; this bastard was obviously taking advantage of the situation!

Lin Qi noticed the gazes of all the girls. His face flushed instantly, but he quickly pretended nothing had happened. Then, as if entering work mode, he looked at Yukino in front of him seriously and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Yukino also felt the gazes of the girls behind Lin Qi, so her face turned bright red. However, after hearing what the other party said, she decisively took the opportunity to skip over what had just happened.

“I just called my sister and she said she had the same problem. She thought it was because she was too tired from work.”

Upon hearing the other person's words, Lin Qi had a guess in his mind. It's very likely that the whole family is in this situation. Is this a case of annihilation, or are only these two sisters affected? Lin Qi couldn't help but fall into thought.

Where is your sister?

Upon hearing this, Yukino instinctively answered.

"She is coming to the academy now."

Lin Qi nodded after hearing what the other person said, and then spoke in a calm tone:

"Once I see your sister, I'll probably know roughly what's going on."

Lin Qi looked back and spoke to the couple and the girls.

"Let's wrap up today's event first. You can all go home now. I might need to go to her house to help her resolve this issue."

"Qi Jun, do you mean someone targeted her home?"

Lin Qi nodded after hearing what one of the girls said.

"It is very possible that the source is directly in her hometown."

"So I have to go there."

The others knew they couldn't help, so they chose to leave, but told Lin Qi to be careful before they left.

Upon hearing everyone's words, Lin Qi immediately revealed a sly smile and spoke:

"How about everyone give me a kiss? After all, it's said that kisses from beautiful girls have an extra bonus."

After hearing Lin Qi's words, the others immediately rolled their eyes at him. This guy really had no sense of propriety and was always trying to take advantage of others.

Couldn't they have said this somewhere private? Why did they have to say it in public? Who would have the nerve to do that?

Lynch knew, of course, that saying it now wouldn't get him anywhere. He only said you would do that as a joke, to put everyone at ease.

After all, they all looked so serious. That's why he decided to lighten the mood.

It has to be said that this tactic was quite successful; the person chose to leave. However, what he didn't know was that after the others left, worried expressions appeared on their faces.

After all, everyone was a thoughtful person, so they could roughly guess that Lin Qi's inner thoughts were nothing more than wanting to appease them.

"Do you think Qi Jun will have any problems?"

Miku spoke in that soft, weak tone.

"There's no need to worry about that guy; after all, he wouldn't do something he's not sure of."

Kawasaki Saki was relatively rational; they had sensed the pressure emanating from Lin Qi's body and hands. Although they didn't know how strong he was, he wasn't the type to do anything reckless.

“That’s right, Qi Jun didn’t seem to care about this at all just now.”

Kato Megumi had been watching Lin Qi's expression closely, so she could clearly see that he was indifferent to the matter. In other words, he didn't care about it at all; in his eyes, it was probably just a trivial matter.

After a moment of silence, the group decided to go back together, since the scene they had witnessed earlier that day had also startled them.

At the same time, it was the first time they had ever seen this thing, so they decided to go home and calm down.

After Lin Qi and the others left, the atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward. Finally, Yukino couldn't help but speak first:

"Lin Qijun, what exactly is this thing?"

After hearing this, Lin Qi thought for a moment, then tried to speak in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"This thing is a bit like a curse, or rather, a ghost!"

"It works behind each of you, absorbing your energy and spirit daily. Then, through these, it feeds back to the main body."

"At the beginning, you'll only feel weak for a little over an hour. You'll regain your energy the next day, but in the long run, you'll definitely suffer irreversible damage. Then, after a while, you'll be dead because you'll lose all your energy."

"Not only can it kill you, but it can also provide you with a fixed amount of experience points in a short period of time."

"But the only thing that intrigues me is whether you were just unlucky enough to be afflicted by these things, or whether someone is targeting your home and planning to wipe out your entire family."

After hearing Lin Qi's words, Yukino's face showed a look of lingering fear, followed by a feeling of anger. Who could be so vicious?

"Can you help me solve this?"

Yukino's eyes held a hopeful look.

Lin Qi nodded as he looked at the girl's expectant gaze.

Upon hearing this, Yukino's eyes lit up, but Lin Qi's next words gave her the urge to beat this bastard to death.

"But Yukino, you know who I am. What kind of reward are you going to give me?"

Yukino initially thought this guy was going to do a good deed, but she didn't expect him to ask for payment. Although there's nothing wrong with this behavior, after all, hiring professionals requires paying them.

However, the look in this guy's eyes gave her a bad feeling.

Yukino indicated that she was quite familiar with those looks; this guy was clearly up to something, and she said no way. He pretended not to know and spoke in a calm tone tinged with anger:

"What do you want in return?"

"If you want money, just name a number. If you help resolve this matter, I believe Mother and the others will give you a satisfactory amount!"

Chapter 44 Lin Qi: In my eyes, considering equals agreeing

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes were filled with disdain, as if to say, "Is that all?"

"Come on, do you think I look like someone who's short of money?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino fell silent. As far as she knew, this light novel author, who was a phenomenal success, was certainly not short of money.

"I have nothing else to offer you besides this."
