Becoming a Fierce Ghost, I Turned into the Shadow Behind the Heroine Chapter 43 : Chapter 43

Chapter 43: What Are You Looking At?

“What is love, exactly? Do you truly understand it?”

“It is not sothing you can obtain by killing people.”

“You must learn to approach actively and take the initiative. Just like I said earlier—once a foundation exists, everything becos simple. As long as you take that most crucial first step, you should already be eighty percent successful.”

“A human heart… can be vast, but when it is small, it can hold only one person.”

The rabbit-masked woman crouched on the rooftop, her gaze sweeping across every figure in the alley. Her eyes were deep and unreadable. What she said was simple and easy to understand.

Yet the alley had fallen into an eerie silence. No one spoke. Every pair of eyes stared fixedly at the rabbit-masked woman.

Perhaps they were all thinking about how to kill her.

But at the sa ti, they had indeed listened carefully to her words.

Just as the rabbit-masked woman had said, did they truly understand emotions?

They were completely at a loss when it ca to how to capture Lu Liangting’s heart. The old saying still applied—if you asked them to kill soone, they were absolute professionals. But if you asked them how to make a man fall in love with them, that truly left them helpless.

If not for that, they would not have gathered here in the first place.

At the beginning, they had not even known each other’s identities. Because of Lu Liangting, they had hardly fought one another.

After gathering together, a few simple exchanges had already revealed the troubles in everyone’s hearts.

Since none of them knew how to pursue Lu Liangting, they had decided it would be better to work together first and eliminate everyone else. Once the number of competitors decreased, they could slowly figure out a strategy. After all, by then they would have plenty of ti—and Lu Liangting would not be able to escape anyway.

“Since no one wishes to speak, I will not say much more. You are all intelligent people.”

“That is all I will say. There is only one Lu Liangting, and you each have only one goal. That ans only one of you will survive. If you do not start trying harder, your hope will not rely be slim—it will cease to exist entirely.”

“Oh, and one more thing. While focusing your attention on Lu Liangting, do not forget that he is not the only protagonist.”

After saying that, the rabbit-masked woman vanished from the rooftop.

Yet her voice lingered in the hearts of the girls for a long ti.

It was true—they did not understand emotions.

And striking first really did seem like a reasonable idea.

If they could secure a place in Lu Liangting’s heart, approaching him later would be easy. The relationship would naturally develop quickly.

There was only one thing that felt a little strange.

Could a man’s heart truly hold only one woman?

In their previous lives, they had possessed many, many won. In every mission world, there have been plenty of them.

Because of the rabbit-masked woman’s words, the atmosphere in the alley gradually began to develop in a very strange direction.

At that mont, Lu Liangting had no idea that because of soone’s speech, he would soon face a terrifying future.

Right now, he was searching the corridor for Zhao Mingyue.

After learning through a ssaging app that Zhao Mingyue had already returned ho, he finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Li Nan lying on the floor, he decisively called the police and the hospital ergency line.

Tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.

Within less than a week, Lu Liangting had called the police twice at the sa location. The first ti, soone died.

This ti was not light either.

Soone had gone insane and lost even the most basic awareness.

When the leading officer saw that the caller was Lu Liangting again, he could not help but shake his head.

Why is it you again, kid?

The corridor soon quieted down.

After all, Li Nan had not died—he had rely lost consciousness and beco a vegetable. That was an entirely different level compared to a murder case.

Inside Room 404, Zhao Mingyue listened to the commotion outside. Only after confirming that everyone had left did she speak.

“Bai Yu, about Xiaolian… we should resolve that situation as soon as possible. It feels very dangerous. If it were not for you tonight, we would have died there.”

A red-clothed Fierce Ghost—especially one that had lost control—would cause endless trouble if left unresolved.

Previously, the old landlord had been able to confine her between the fourth and fifth floors. Now that the old landlord was gone, given enough ti she could roam throughout the entire building.

“Yes. She must indeed be dealt with.”

“Mm… by the way, what exactly happened tonight between Lu Liangting and Li Nan?”

“Li Nan is rely soone’s pawn. That person wants to kill you, and also has plans involving Lu Liangting, but they will not kill him.”

“A pawn?”

“Do not ask too many questions. You will encounter her soon enough. Now go get so rest.”

The entire night remained quiet. Nothing else happened.

However, Zhao Mingyue once again found herself unable to sleep.

That other world was interfering with her life—even though she had not actively accepted any missions.

The key point was that it had only been a few days since she first ca into contact with that world.

The next day, after arriving at school, Zhao Mingyue kept watching Li Nan’s seat.

Would Li Nan enter the classroom like before, sit down in his seat, and begin sleeping or playing with his phone?

The answer was no.

Even by the second class period, he still had not appeared. The teacher seed to already know sothing. Looking at the empty seat, the teacher said nothing and continued teaching.

Zhao Mingyue quietly unwrapped a piece of chocolate from her desk and slipped it into her mouth.

Unfortunately, the teacher suddenly began calling on students to recite—and it just happened to be her turn.

“Bai Yu, do you think Li Nan really will not co back?”

Standing outside the classroom as punishnt, Zhao Mingyue whispered in her heart to Bai Yu.

“Of course not. The black shadow on his body had a symbiotic relationship with him. Since the shadow has died, Li Nan naturally cannot survive either. Even if he remains alive, he will never regain consciousness.”

“Then who killed the shadow inside him…”

Just as Zhao Mingyue finished asking, a graceful figure walked down the corridor.

Her steps were slightly drifting and irregular, yet rather than appearing careless, each step seed to carry a mysterious charm.

The girl wore a black school uniform. Her hair was tied into two buns on either side of her head. Her face was delicate, her phoenix-like eyes cold and narrow, and her expression completely emotionless.

She held a dical book and a black crystal cup in her hands. Walking into the classroom opposite Zhao Mingyue, she handed the items to a young teacher with long curly hair who was sitting with one leg crossed over the other.

When the girl stepped back out and closed the door, Zhao Mingyue suddenly noticed that the young teacher inside had been staring at her—and even gave her a smile.

‘What a beautiful teacher. But dressing like that at school… is that really okay?’

After closing the classroom door, the bun-haired girl gave Zhao Mingyue a long, deep look. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Zhao Mingyue was left utterly confused.

“What kind of look was that? And what was that snort for? Do I even know her?”

“You may not know her,” Bai Yu replied calmly. “But Lu Liangting does.”
