My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1776: Ghost!
The little furball might usually be following Professor Du Le around, knowing how much he treasures this item, so it rescued it in an emergency and waited until it found Professor Du Le to return it to him.
Jun Yiyi, however, had no idea that this cufflink contained a colossal secret.
Jun Yiyi planned to get into one of the three renowned high schools of the Aus Empire, and then take the entrance exams for the Imperial College of Technology a year later.
With her current level, it would be tough, so she had to rapidly improve her abilities.
So, for the next half month, she ignored the affairs of the world outside her window and focused solely on reading the classics, especially since Madam Aisha made delicious food every day to keep her comfortable, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Until one day she got up and heard a commotion on the street, sounding like a large crowd was surging onto the streets.
Jun Yiyi opened the curtains and saw a huge crowd of citizens holding banners and flags, marching in protest.
It was only after asking Madam Aisha that she found out that something big had happened in the past two days: the embassy of the Aus Empire in Yalan Country had been bombed by the rebels who occupied Lily City. This incident had instantly touched a nerve in the Aus Empire, which had always been a strong nation bullying others; now that their embassy got bombed, how could they take it?
Despite the rebels’ constant denial of involvement, evidence indicated a connection with them. The citizens of the Aus Empire grew angrier and were determined to avenge their dead compatriots.
Thus, protests were everywhere, demanding that the government mobilize troops to attack the rebels and wipe out the national disgrace.
Jun Yiyi rested her chin on her hand, feeling something wasn’t quite right. Even if the rebels didn’t like the Aus Empire, knowing how powerful they were, they wouldn’t deliberately provoke them, would they?
After all, the rebels’ regime was unstable and should be trying to appease all sides, not inviting trouble by angering a mighty lion.
Could it be that someone with ulterior motives wanted to provoke the wrath of the Aus Empire?
Two days later, they heard the councilman making a righteous speech on television, condemning the rebels’ actions and declaring intentions to send airship troops to assist the Yalan government in striking against the rebels.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of war became intense, with many soldiers in uniform appearing on the streets, heralding a sinister trend of impending chaos.
Everyone was fervently discussing the war, including the servants in the villa.
Jun Yiyi found it strange that the people of the Aus Empire didn’t seem to hate war. Listening to their zealous discussions, she felt they were even quite passionate about it, completely unlike the peace-loving mindset of Earthlings!
In the evening, she soaked in a comfortable bath, prepared to read some more; recently, she had been studying the knowledge base Dr. Du Le left her. Although she always considered herself smart and comprehending well,
she found it the first time grappling with the study materials on the fingerprint pad, struggling to learn without Dr. Du Le’s guidance, even failing to understand some parts.
A headache indeed.
Jun Yiyi got out of the bathtub, put on her nightgown, removed the towel wrapped around her hair, and walked barefoot out of the bathroom. While drying her damp hair with a towel, she pondered the issue.
Upon reaching the dressing table and sitting down, she suddenly saw through the mirror a tall, shadowy figure silently sitting at the edge of her bed. The dim bedroom lighting at the moment tinged with a sinister flavor, casting an aura of dark allure over him.
"Ghost..." Jun Yiyi was so frightened she nearly jumped up.
