I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 49 Broom Star_1
Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Broom Star_1
Personality split!
You hadn’t expected such a classic plot twist from TV dramas to happen in real life, and to the very innocent and naive Lin Panxia at that.
Anyone who experiences a personality split always has a story to tell.
Panpan and Xiaxia are different, if you really must categorize them, Xiaxia is an angel, while Panpan is a little demon.
She looked at you with completely different eyes, full of teasing and the kind that if you didn’t agree with her, she would pester you every day with all kinds of tricks, ensuring that in the end, you would have no choice but to surrender.
"Alright, I’ll join the Supernatural Detective Agency."
You had no choice but to agree, under the circumstances.
"Oh yeah!"
Panpan made a victorious gesture toward Wu Qiyi, who smiled calmly, making everyone nearby feel as if they were in a spring breeze, their spirits lifted.
Wu Qiyi was a perfect goddess, like a lotus flower blooming in the clear waters of a lake, to be admired from a distance.
You followed Yang Kai and Liao Yong to the front of the Supernatural Detective Agency’s booth and found it deserted, with few people interested.
However, you recognized a few familiar voices there. Firstly, there’s no need to say, even before approaching, you could tell by the booming voice that it was Xiao Feng bragging.
"Let me tell you, I really saw a ghost when I was a kid..."
Looking around, besides Xiao Feng, there was Wei Shuxian, who had always considered himself the brain of the dorm, sitting on the grass with a book in his hands, and joining a few others in their tall tales.
"Yo? Little Yunyun, what brings you here! Come, let Brother give you a hug."
The moment Xiao Feng saw you, he lunged at you.
But you smudged his face on the spot: "Scram! I don’t swing that way!"
Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and laughed, "Madman, you know Old Shu?"
Xiao Feng cheerfully sat back down and said to everyone, "Old Shu? That nickname is really apt, this guy can be as blockheaded as wood sometimes. Speaking of which, I’ve known Little Yun for about thirteen years, seven months, thirteen days, and four hours."
Yang Kai put a hand on your shoulder and looked at you meaningfully, "Hehe, even couples wouldn’t remember that clearly, I don’t believe there’s no bromance between you two."
"Don’t listen to his nonsense." You glared at Xiao Feng, with a slightly threatening tone, "Madman, if you keep spouting BS, I’ll spill all the embarrassing stuff from your childhood."
"No, please don’t!" Xiao Feng quickly smiled apologetically at you, "Hehe, what’s the relationship between us brothers? Just joking around, that’s all." frёewebηovel.cѳm
You snorted lightly, then asked, "Why are there only a few people in the Supernatural Detective Agency?"
Compared to the big clubs around, the Supernatural Detective Agency did seem a lot shabbier.
Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Our president took a tumble just ten minutes ago, leaving us with this mess."
"The booth might be small, but it isn’t that bad." You kicked Xiao Feng’s butt and sat down between him and Wei Shuxian, "What does the Supernatural Detective Agency usually do? Where does its funding come from?"
"Money is not a problem..."
Xiao Feng had just started talking when you cut him off, "It is a problem, and the biggest one at that."
You glanced at the people around you and said, "If a club doesn’t have proper funding, it can’t run its activities, and we surely can’t just sit here all day drinking tea, chatting, and shooting the breeze, right?"
"It’s fine, we can all chip in a bit. We joined this club to seek some excitement, to see if we could really encounter those legendary things," Yang Kai came over and patted your shoulder.
But you shook your head, "Do it right or don’t do it at all, that’s the bare minimum. If you all just want to see those things, I can take you tonight, see them, and then we can disband."
"Brother Mu Yun, money is a small matter, just leave it to me and Sister Qiyi."
After looking at Lin Panxia, you still shook your head, "I guess, that’s the main reason why the Supernatural Detective Agency has so few members. Look at us, all newbies, not a single old member in sight; now look at the others, from old to new, fully staffed, and some clubs have even been running for decades. Don’t you all want to make this club like that too? By then, everyone seated here would be the founding members. Tell me, want to do it?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, "Let’s do it!"
"Good, let’s start assigning tasks now. Glasses, you update the promotional board with some phrases and topics that can draw people in."
Wei Shuxian adjusted his glasses and nodded with a smile.
"Madman, you take Little Kai and Black Bull for a little promotion. How many people we can attract depends on how you blow your own trumpet."
"Roger that." Xiao Feng and Yang Kai immediately stood up, taking Liao Yong and another boy to do the promotions.
"Brother Mu Yun, what should we do?"
Lin Panxia asked.
You looked at her and Wu Qiyi and said with a smile, "You girls don’t have to do anything, just carry two chairs over and sit here, that’s all."
Sure enough, before long, a lot of people gathered around.
It was partially due to the revised promotional strategy, and partly because of Wu Qiyi and Lin Panxia’s appearance.
Of course, the reason you did this was to attract some new club members, but also to create a buzz for the club since recognition is crucial these days.
After registering every new member and putting their forms into a thick file folder, you wrote two characters on the folder with a marker, Reserve.
"What does that mean?" Xiao Feng asked.
"Next, I’ll conduct a trial of courage for them in batches. Once someone passes the trial, they can become an official member of our club." As you say this, you add another line, "Oh, right, tomorrow is the 11th, and everyone has time in the evening, so let’s start the first trial of courage with those of us here."
"Brother Yun, what exactly is a trial of courage?" Lin Panxia bats her bright, large eyes at you.
You smile and reply, "I can’t tell you now, you’ll find out tonight. I must make it clear in advance, if you can’t pass this stage, then leave the club. If the number of members falls below five, the club will disband on its own."
"Hmph, in other words, you just don’t want to play with us," Lin Panxia pouts at you adorably.
Gently touching the top of Lin Panxia’s head, you smile and say, "Don’t worry, I always keep my word. It’s up to you to show your performance next."
"Hello, I’d like to join the club, may I?"
In the midst of your conversation, a girl’s timid voice comes from nearby.
You turn to look,
and see a beautiful girl standing not far off, with long black hair and wearing very ordinary clothes that nevertheless leave a good impression.
Huh? She looks familiar.
Upon closer inspection, you finally remember—this girl was the one you and Xiao Feng rescued from that scumbag Wu Wenxiu that day.
"Senior sister, you finally came, I’ve been waiting for you for ages,"
says Xiao Feng, wearing a smile as he walks over to her.
At that moment, Xiao Feng glances over at you. You exchange looks with Xiao Feng and instantly understand; it seems he has taken a liking to her and has been pursuing her these past few days.
Just as you’re about to speak, a girl standing by who has just finished filling out her membership application form urgently cuts in: "We can’t let her join!"
"Why not?"
Seeing everyone turn to look at her, the girl deliberately steps back several paces, keeping a distance of at least three meters from the other girl: "She’s known as the jinx of the biology department—anyone who gets close to her suffers bad luck. All older students above sophomore year know this."
You notice through your left eye that when Xiao Feng stands next to her, Yin Ghost Qi begins to naturally emanate from her body, slowly enveloping Xiao Feng.
"Crazy, take a few steps to the side."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng angrily responds, "Li Muyun, are you really that sort of person?"
"Nonsense! You don’t trust me after all these years?"
At your response, Xiao Feng scratches his head, indeed, as brothers for over a decade, he knew you inside out.
Sure enough, as Xiao Feng slowly distances himself from the girl, the Yin Ghost Qi entangling him begins to dissipate, vanishing completely once he is beyond three meters.
"I understand now."
You rub your temple somewhat vexedly and wave Xiao Feng over.
Xiao Feng approaches and asks, "What’s up?"
"I’m going to be honest with you—there must be something hidden about her. Tell me, do you really like her?"
Xiao Feng looks at you with a very serious gaze.
"Aren’t you scared that she’ll bring you misfortune, or even disaster?"
His gaze still resolute.
You chuckle, pat Xiao Feng firmly on the shoulder, and declare loud enough for everyone to hear, "Alright, I’ll help you out, brother!"
Then, you instruct Xiao Feng to approach the girl, and as he gets near her, the Yin Ghost Qi once again envelops Xiao Feng.
Suddenly, a swooshing sound comes from behind you, and without turning around, a baseball flying from nowhere hits Xiao Feng squarely on the shoulder.
"Hiss, ah."
Xiao Feng hisses from the pain.
"Are you okay?"
The girl reaches out to rub Xiao Feng’s shoulder, and the Yin Ghost Qi grows even stronger, quickly followed by a blob of bird droppings falling from the sky onto Xiao Feng’s forehead.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,"
the girl keeps apologizing to Xiao Feng, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
"I told you, this person is bad luck incarnate, super jinxed, whoever touches her gets cursed,"
another girl keeps talking non-stop, drawing the attention of many others. The boys who had just filled out membership forms and were lingering nearby to watch this "goddess" also start to discuss among themselves.
"Bang!"
A loud smack!
Your palm slams down hard on the table surface!
"Anyone who’s afraid, get the hell out now!"
