Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

She answered quickly, and Youxing promptly wrote it down.

"Besides that, did you see anything else?"

Yuuki worried that there might be an open crack there as well.

"No."

Manatsu shook her head.

"That's good. Don't go there again. It's best to throw this flower away as soon as possible."

Yuuki's answer disappointed Manatsu. She had originally planned to dry the flower, make it into a memo, and give it to Yuuki as a gift.

Noticing that Manatsu's smile had faded considerably, Yuuki pursed her lips and said, "I know you might be a little sad, but this flower is very dangerous. I can't explain it clearly in a short time, so just consider it to be highly poisonous."

"So you should never keep it on your person."

"I understand now. Do I seem like an unreasonable person?"

Knowing that Yuuki wasn't joking, Manatsu snorted and casually tossed the flower into the trash can.

Yu Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that the flowers had been discarded; he had almost been scared to death.

If something were to happen to Zhenxia, ​​he thought he would probably never be able to get over it for the rest of his life.

"Manatsu, we should go back."

After all this commotion, it was already close to 7 p.m. and the sky was getting dark. Miwako softly called out to Manatsu.

"Okay, Mom."

Manatsu was very obedient. Reluctantly, she left Yuuki's side and followed her mother to the door.

"I'm really sorry, it's not that we don't want to stay any longer, but there have been too many rumors about the Night Alley Killer lately, so it's safer to go back early after dark."

Miwako apologized to the two people inside.

A killer in the alley?

Upon hearing this, Wu Daogui and Youxing exchanged a smile, then turned and said in unison, "It's alright."

Having gained Yuuki and Manatsu's understanding, Miwako pulled Manatsu away.

Before leaving, Manatsu made a face at Yuuki: "See you tomorrow, Yuuki!"

"What an energetic child!"

After the two left, Wu Daoguihu felt somewhat emotional.

“Manatsu has always been like this, full of enthusiasm for everyone.”

Yuuki picked the flower out of the trash can and handed it to Wu Daogui.

"This is?"

Guihu hadn't overheard their private conversation, so he didn't notice the flower.

Yuuki briefly explained it to him, and Guihu gradually became serious.

"I suspect that Hel has already quietly invaded various parts of our world."

Yu Xing stared at the flower, then finally clasped her hands together and crushed it into powder.

Guihu did not refute Youxing. He felt that Youxing's suspicion was not impossible, but why hadn't he received any news about it before?

Unless someone deliberately doesn't want him to know, and given his current position, probably only high-ranking figures above him would have the power to prevent him from gathering information.

This also shows that the conglomerate is indeed doing some small things that could affect Zeya City.

After a moment's thought, Wu Daogui made a decision: "I will go and take a look tomorrow."

"I'll go as well."

Yu Xing's words surprised Gui Hu.

"It's related to Manatsu, so even if there's danger, I have to go check it out."

Yu Xing crossed her arms, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Besides, if there's danger, it's not like inside the conglomerate; we can just run away."

Yuuki concluded that as long as one could run, no one could outrun him after his enhancements.

Are you sure you can do it?

Wu Daogui looked Youxing up and down.

His face was pale, his hair was dry and brittle, his body was thin, and his hands were wet.

Anyone who came would only think of him as a patient on the verge of death.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Yu Xing smiled faintly, raising his fist, which made Wu Dao Gui Hu feel a chill.

"Squinty eyes are the scariest thing, I won't fall for your tricks."

He muttered a couple of words to himself, then decisively returned to his hospital bed and rested with his back to Youxing.

Yu Xing slowly withdrew his fist and lay down on the hospital bed.

Nothing happened that night, and the two got up at the crack of dawn the next day.

"This is the perfect time."

Without even changing out of their hospital gowns, the two secretly left the hospital before they regained consciousness and headed towards Manatsu's school.

Chapter 20 Infiltrating the Screams

Manatsu's school is very famous; it is the top high school in Zeya City and Yuuki's alma mater.

Returning here again, Yuuki looked at the school gate and couldn't help but feel envious.

If he can continue his studies, he will definitely not give up easily.

Recalling the day he was expelled from school, Yuuki felt a pang of pain, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did at the time.

"Stop daydreaming, time is tight and the task is heavy."

Wu Daogui had no idea what Youxing was thinking. Seeing Youxing standing there in a daze, he hurriedly urged her on.

"Okay, follow me."

When Guihu brought up the real-life issue, Youxing came to his senses. He nodded and led Wudao Guihu over the wall from the side of the school and into the school.

Since it was still early and the school was quiet, Youxing looked around and, after confirming that there was no one there, pulled Guihu out of the green belt.

"That abandoned teaching building is located in the southeast corner of the school, and it is said to be a remnant of the previous era."

As the two continued their journey, Yuuki introduced their destination to Wudao Guihu.

"Compared to other things, students are much more interested in this kind of architecture that is obviously out of touch with the times."

Therefore, it has become the main place for students to explore and play during their spare time.

During the time Yuuki was attending school, he visited this school building many times, and it was because of this that he met Manatsu, who was also very curious about this place.

“Matsu and I explored the school building together during that time, but unfortunately, apart from finding it to be exceptionally sturdy, we didn’t find anything else of value.”

Guihu only knew that Youxing had dropped out of school, but he didn't expect that he had such a past.

"Well, so you knew that girl all along. Confess, have you had feelings for her for a while now?"

Wu Daoguihu pressed on with the problem, jokingly remarking.

High school is the time when romantic feelings are most likely to blossom.

Yu Xing was speechless and rolled her eyes at Wu Dao Gui Hu: "Nonsense, at that time I just wanted to investigate that place to see if there was a way to solve my problem."

Yuuki had always believed that he lived in a supernatural world. He thought he was cursed by some kind of evil spirit, which was why he was so unlucky.

Therefore, he has a great interest in these ancient buildings. If he were to encounter an exorcist, he might be able to live a normal life.

Unfortunately, his guess was completely wrong.

"As for running into Manatsu, it was just a coincidence. I've advised her several times not to have too much contact with me."

"but……"

Yuuki glanced at Wu Daogui and shut his mouth.

This made Wu Daoguihu, who was secretly watching the drama unfold, feel as if he were being scratched by a cat.

"What happened next? Why don't you tell us?"

Out of sheer curiosity, he couldn't help but ask.

"We've arrived. We should prepare for the investigation."

Yu Xing stopped and gave a completely irrelevant answer.

Knowing that the time was not right, Wu Daoguihu had no choice but to turn around, and an old teaching building suddenly appeared in front of him.

The teaching building has five floors, its exterior is dilapidated, and the brick walls inside are exposed.

The crimson bricks were not clearly visible in the dim light of the sky, always giving the impression of congealed bloodstains after a splatter.

The main entrance is a heavy, cold iron gate, which is currently wide open, revealing a pitch-black interior that sends chills down one's spine.

Wu Daogui immediately gasped: "This can't possibly be a teaching building?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm so interested in this place?"

It was precisely this kind of building, with its obvious terrifying aura, that made it worthwhile for Yuuki to explore at the time.

"Didn't you seek a peaceful life? How could you have gone to such a dangerous place before?"

Wu Daogui couldn't understand it at all, and felt that Youxing was very disjointed.

"Hehe...you'll find out later."

Yu Xing didn't explain, nor did he want to; he simply buried his head and walked into the teaching building.

Seeing Yuuki's figure become blurry, Wu Dao Guihu looked around at the hazy surroundings, shivered, and immediately followed Yuuki ahead.

The air inside the teaching building did not have a noticeable stale smell; it was similar to that of a normal teaching building.
