Chapter 28: The Evil Ritual?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hey, hey, did you hear? Lily from the Finance Department died in the library last night.”

“Lily? Lily the nerd? Really? Was it a sudden death?”

“Both the school and the police said it was a sudden death, but some people said it was just an illusion.”

“What do you mean?”

“Have you ever seen someone die barefoot?”

Hiss...

That day, similar discussions could be heard everywhere on campus.

It was indeed rare to see someone die in the library.

However, if this person was a very hardworking person, it would be a different story.

Many people would naturally think that she had died suddenly because she worked too hard.

However, many so-called insiders spoke about her death with confidence.

It was because Lily was found not wearing any shoes. Her shoes were found a few meters away.

Obviously, Lily must have experienced something before she died.

As for what she experienced exactly, no one knew.

In the eyes of many people, this was just an urban legend. They did not care much for the things they would naturally forget soon after talking about it.

However, it was different for one person.

...

Mika was a supernatural fan.

Hearing the discussions of the people around her, she immediately ran to the library.

Passing through the crowd, Mika quietly popped her head out to get a look at the scene.

She saw a corpse lying in the police cordon. It was Lily, Lily who had not gone back the night before.

Lily had an extremely frightened expression on her face, and there were obvious impression marks on her face.

Her feet were indeed bare, as the discussions had said, and she was not wearing any shoes.

Her shoes, however, were a few meters away.

They were not folded neatly.

They looked like they had fallen to the ground very casually.

It seemed as if they had been tossed away.

Mika narrowed her eyes and continued to look at Lily’s corpse.

There were no wounds on her body and there were no signs of her clothes being torn.

There was not even a single wrinkle.

This was somewhat unbelievable.

According to Mika’s judgment, the corpse would have certain conditions, such as shoes and expressions. It was as if something had happened that caused her to be nervous.

It looked as if she had lost her shoes in a panic.

But there were no wounds on Lily’s body, which meant that no one had done any harm to her.

There were no wrinkles on her clothes, which meant that she had not been violated by anyone.

However, there was an extremely frightened look on Lily’s face.

Mika quietly left the crowd.

She smoothed her brown hair and stroked her chin with an excited expression.

There was definitely something fishy about this.

Indeed, Mika did not care about the death of her roommate Lily.

What she was more interested in was finding out what had happened to Lily, or rather, the deceased.

To her, this was more important than the death of her roommate.

“There really are ghosts in this world!” Mika muttered to herself in a slightly excited tone before running back to her dorm.

...

[Why aren’t you in class yet? Today’s the Mediterranean roll call.]

Ignoring the text message from her roommate, Mika was still flipping through the book in her hand.

Of course, this was not a book related to learning, but a supernatural novel.

“She had just finished chanting when an invisible hand lifted her up.

“Though she had a strong desire to survive, in front of this huge force, all she could do was kick as hard as she could.

“As she struggled, her shoes fell to the ground, and her strength gradually decreased.

“The life force in her body was constantly depleting, and she gradually became desperate.

“Fear and regret appeared on her face until she completely died and collapsed to the ground.

“The invisible giant hand returned to the book, and it was as if nothing had happened in the library.”

Mika’s eyes lit up when she read this paragraph.

That’s right, this was the information she was looking for!

Lily must have set up some summoning ritual in the library, but in the end, her soul was taken away by the Demon God!

Mika became more and more excited when she thought of this.

“As expected, I knew it. There are indeed demons and monsters in this world!”

Although she had a simple plan in her mind, she did not act immediately.

There were people outside the library and it was cordoned off.

She would wait for some time to pass before taking action.

...

That night, Mika snuck into the library.

The library was usually empty before 10 o’clock.

However, it was just seven o’clock but there was no one there that day.

There was no other reason—the library was simply too scary.

Although Lily’s body had been taken away, no one was willing to come.

Looking at the quiet library, where even the lights were not turned on, Mika smiled proudly.

The first step was completed.

With a creak, Mika gently pushed the library door open.

As soon as she stepped in, Mika’s body trembled.

A boy was standing where Lily’s body was.

Just as he was about to scream, Mika quickly covered his mouth and snorted.

The boy seemed to have heard her movements and turned his head to look at Mika in suspicion.

Mika laughed awkwardly and waved.

“H-hello.”

He was here to investigate the supernatural incident. If he screamed because he met someone, how embarrassing would that be?

The other party saw that Mika had greeted him and nodded slightly. Then, he continued to look at the empty floor.

Looking at that, Mika walked up to the boy and asked curiously, “You think there’s something fishy about this, too, right?”

The boy was slightly surprised. He turned to look at Mika.

“You, too?”

At this time, Mika coughed lightly and said rather proudly, “That’s right. Although everyone thinks that Lily died suddenly, I sense something fishy about this matter.

“I suspect it’s a supernatural incident!”

Speaking up to this point, Mika appeared even more proud looking at the boy’s surprised expression.

It was as if she was the only one who knew the truth.

The boy frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, “I think I heard you call her Lily just now. Did you know her?”

Mika nodded slightly, but she did not stay there any longer. Instead, she walked to the bookshelf near Lily’s corpse.

As she used the flashlight to illuminate the place, she answered nonchalantly, “Lily’s my roommate, but we weren’t very close.

“In my opinion, Lily must’ve held some evil ritual in the library, but because the steps weren’t done properly, she got herself killed.”

Looking at Mika’s confident expression, the boy did not say anything. He just quietly leaned over and watched Mika as she rummaged through the books on the bookshelf.

After rummaging for about ten minutes, Mika finally pulled out a book from the bookshelf. She said in surprise, “It can’t be wrong, this is it!”

The boy leaned over to take a look at the cover.

‘Strange Urban Tales’.
