Chapter 594: Chapter 594 The Temptation of Twisted Braids_1
Ding Jiawang’s eyes grew increasingly fascinated, he murmured, "Don’t you see how beautiful she is?"
Qin Sisi waved her hand before Ding Jiawang’s eyes, pulling him away from his admiring state. "One of us stays here and watches, the other goes over to look."
A bit embarrassed by his earlier infatuation, Ding Jiawang blushed and nodded, "Okay, who’s going?"
After so thought, Qin Sisi said, "I’ll go. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to handle it. You stay here and watch her. We’ll communicate via phone."
"No problem." Sensing that his days of confusion were about to end and his wish would soon be fulfilled, Ding Jiawang answered in a resounding voice, his attention entirely focused on the figure across the lake.
The beautiful silhouette lingered there motionless, clearly imprinted in Ding Jiawang’s vision.
Qin Sisi and Ye You hurriedly headed towards the opposite side of the lake.
As Qin Sisi finally approached the railing under the fading sunset, she found emptiness where the figure once stood.
As she stood there perplexed, her phone rang. Recognizing Ding Jiawang’s na on the screen, she rushed to answer.
The urgency in Ding Jiawang’s voice rang loud in her ears, "Qin Sisi, she’s gone."
Qin Sisi sighed, "I know, I’ve already co over."
Ding Jiawang continued, "I saw you going there, then suddenly, the sun’s brightness made
blink. When I opened my eyes, she was gone."
"Wait for
there, we’ll talk once we get back."
After hanging up, Qin Sisi walked over to the railing and stood where the beautiful shadow had been, asking Ye You, "Can you sense anything?"
Ye You focused carefully, but it was unusual, he didn’t pick up any cold yin energy normally left behind by a ghost.
Could it really not be a ghost, but a human?
But how could an ordinary person disappear so quickly and quietly?
Neither Ye You nor Qin Sisi could figure it out, so they could only retrace their steps.
Ding Jiawang t them halfway, asking urgently, "What happened? Did you find anything?"
Qin Sisi shook her head.
Ding Jiawang’s face fell in disappointnt, "So even you can’t find her, does that an I’ll never get to see her in person? Ah... Having finally t a girl who captured my heart at first sight, I can’t even see her. That’s so disheartening."
Qin Sisi blinked, "You like her?"
At this point, Ding Jiawang didn’t have the heart to be shy, he replied sullenly, "So what? Don’t you think that silhouette was stunning?"
Qin Sisi shrugged, "She’s pretty alright. But I would advise you not to hope too much. I’m not sure about her identity yet, but I have a feeling she’s no ordinary person."
Ding Jiawang paused, "But we’re not certain yet, right? Even if there’s only a slim chance, I don’t want to give up. I really want to see her face. Even if she’s a ghost, I should be fine if I just take a look, right?"
Qin Sisi crossed her arms and pondered for a while before she spoke, "Since I’ve encountered such a strange event, I should investigate it. I’ll go there tonight and see if I can find anything."
"I’m coming too." Ding Jiawang imdiately expressed his eager intent.
After so thought, Qin Sisi agreed. After all, Ding Jiawang was a student here and was familiar with the campus and its routes.
"But..." Even though Qin Sisi had agreed to Ding Jiawang’s request, he seed hesitant.
"What’s the matter?" Qin Sisi asked.
Ding Jiawang nodded, explaining, "The campus has security patrolling every night. They usually do a round and then leave. We just need to avoid their patrol."
Qin Sisi discreetly cast a glance at Ye You. That should not be a problem.
And so, Qin Sisi had dinner with Ding Jiawang on campus, re-experiencing the taste of the dining hall food and the atmosphere.
Later, they found a secluded spot to hide, waiting for the lights of the teaching building and dormitory to be turned off, before carefully making their way towards the fenced area by the lake.
Upon arrival, it was silent all around, no signs of anyone.
Since they weren’t sure about the woman’s identity, and she could possibly be a ghost, they chose a spot further from the railing to sit down and quietly waited for a figure that might not appear.
Before a ghost arrived, the patrolling security guard ca first. The light from his flashlight shone over them, close to falling on Ding Jiawang.
Ye You swung his claw, and an Invisible Bubble erged.
The area under the flashlight beam was now empty. The guard continued his patrol with his flashlight leading the way.
Ding Jiawang exhaled a sigh of relief. He looked at Qin Sisi in curiosity, "Hey, how co he didn’t see us earlier?"
The Invisible Bubble was silent and discreet. Those unaware wouldn’t notice they were inside it, which is why Ding Jiawang asked.
Qin Sisi glanced at him and replied mysteriously, "A wise man has his ways."
"Hmph!" Realizing Qin Sisi didn’t want to tell him, Ding Jiawang rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze back towards the railing where the beautiful silhouette had appeared.
The night grew darker, the yin energy in the air grew increasingly dense. The passing breeze brought with it an occasional chill, even in early sumr.
Suddenly, the expressions on Qin Sisi, Ye You, and Ding Jiawang’s faces froze.
At the sa location as before, the beautiful silhouette beca visible again.
Dressed in a white top and black skirt, with a long twisted braid and without a book in her hands this ti, she stood quietly, facing the lake, leaving only a graceful, beautiful silhouette for Qin Sisi and the others to gaze upon.
Uncontrollably, Ding Jiawang stood up, prepared to approach the beautiful silhouette.
Qin Sisi quickly held him back, whispering, "Let
go first!"
Having gotten closer, Qin Sisi could feel the cold yin energy radiating from the beautiful silhouette. It was indeed a ghost.
Although she couldn’t explain why the ghost was capable of appearing during the day, rushing forward in this situation could potentially be dangerous for an ordinary person.
But Ding Jiawang appeared rather reluctant. He had long discovered the beautiful silhouette that only appeared on Friday afternoons, and he really wanted to see her face. With her so close, how could he possibly have the patience to wait?
Moreover, he knew Qin Sisi was a mage. If the woman were a ghost, Qin Sisi might exorcise her as soon as she approached, leaving him no chance to see her.
So after thinking for a mont, Ding Jiawang said to Qin Sisi, "Let’s go together. I will approach her, and if anything unusual happens, you can take action."
Qin Sisi furrowed her brows, seeing Ding Jiawang’s fervent, eager eyes, she reluctantly agreed to his request, and the two of them walked towards the beautiful silhouette together.
