Becoming a Fierce Ghost, I Turned into the Shadow Behind the Heroine Chapter 47 : Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Bai Sisi’s Courage

Lu Liangting remained silent for a long ti. He wanted to say sothing, yet for a mont he did not know where to begin. In the end, he had no choice but to put away the “breakfast of love,” along with the love letter he had received yesterday.

He truly did not understand why so many strange girls had suddenly appeared in the past few days to give him things. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air overnight.

To be honest, this affection was far too heavy.

So heavy that he simply could not bear it.

Still, he would not throw the items away. Once he found those girls, he planned to return everything to them. At the sa ti, he would explain things properly. At their age, they should focus on their studies. A bright future was waiting for them—there was no need to rush into romance now.

Unfortunately, he really had no ti at the mont.

His next mission was about to begin. The location was an abandoned middle school in the outskirts of Dongcheng. During this period, he needed to investigate the place and scout it in advance. This ti, he absolutely could not repeat what had happened at Sunshine Apartnts.

At Sunshine Apartnts, whenever he encountered life-threatening danger, she had always stepped in to help him.

But at Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School, there would certainly be no such kind ghost to assist him.

After all, ghosts like that were extrely rare. After completing more than ten missions of varying difficulty, he had only encountered such a ghost once.

Unfortunately, he had no fate with her.

Even now, he still did not know her na, nor had he exchanged a single word with her.

Seeing that Lu Liangting had fallen silent at his seat, Zhao Mingyue rested her elbow on the desk and propped her cheek on one hand. Bored, she turned her head to look at the rabbit doll lying quietly on the table.

“In a way, I can understand that feeling a little. So boys used to say strange things to , and I received love letters too. But I have never experienced anything like this. It is honestly quite frightening.”

Zhao Mingyue was actually quite popular at school. To many male students, she was the goddess of their dreams.

She had a pure and beautiful appearance, a tall and perfect figure, excellent academic performance, and she never went out partying or drinking with other boys. Her personality was sowhat cool, yet her occasional airheaded monts added considerable charm.

And she was still only a high school student.

Despite that, she could already earn money through part-ti work to support herself. That alone showed she knew how to live responsibly. She was not wasteful, easily satisfied, not unreasonable, and always knew her limits.

With beauty that could be described as heavenly, yet living in such poverty, many others in her position might have taken a shortcut.

If she were kept by a wealthy man, one night could earn as much as half a year—or even a full year—of wages.

No hardship. Money would flow endlessly. Her quality of life could rise instantly. She would gain access to circles ordinary people could never enter. She would not need to live in a shabby rented room, nor ride a bicycle for half an hour to school every day. Luxury cars would pick her up and drop her off.

The only price would be gossip from others and the condemnation of her own conscience.

But in truth, compared to the benefits, those two things hardly mattered.

Even if she questioned herself at first, she would eventually grow numb. The money ca far too easily.

Yet Zhao Mingyue had never chosen that path.

Even though her phone was old and cracked, and she had to ride her bicycle for more than half an hour every day.

And the most important point—Both of her parents were dead.

In other words, anyone who pursued her did not need to worry about the opinions of a father-in-law or mother-in-law. When the ti ca for marriage, not even a single coin of bride price would be required.

After marrying you, she would not even have a family to return to.

She could only rely on you forever.

“Bai Yu, Little Sister Yu, can you tell about your past life? You are so cute—did any boys ever confess to you? Did you accept? Hmm… wait, did you beat them to death instead?”

Zhao Mingyue tried to imagine it.

If she were the boy confessing to Bai Yu, she would probably be beaten terribly.

“No. In my past, I was either killing people… or being hunted.”

“Uh… what? Were you part of the mafia or a rcenary?” Zhao Mingyue was confused. In this era, could life really still be so brutal?

“Neither.”

“Then…”

“Over there, the only way to survive was to kill.”

“…Alright. I’m sorry.”

“My past is not important. You do not need to worry about .” Bai Yu understood what Zhao Mingyue was thinking.

“Then this rabbit doll…”

“The rabbit… just keep it well. When you are afraid, you can hold it in your arms. It will give you courage.”

Zhao Mingyue knew Bai Yu’s personality very well.

She was not the type of ghost who joked around.

And that sentence—holding a doll to gain courage—was not rely a joke. It sounded like sothing only an innocent child would say.

A simple doll—how much courage could it really give? It probably was not even as useful as the flashlight in Zhao Mingyue’s hand.

Yet Bai Yu had said it seriously.

Zhao Mingyue nodded firmly and replied sincerely in her heart.

“I will.”

It was only several nights later that Zhao Mingyue finally understood the aning of Bai Yu’s words.

The realization ca when she checked a ssage on the black phone.

【Congratulations. You have obtained a Fierce Ghost Item】

【Bloodstained Doll】

【Her older sister told her not to be afraid at night. Miss Rabbit was her good friend and would protect her in the darkness. So on that rainy night, even when the murderer cut off her head and dismbered her body, she never let go of the doll in her hands.】

【Holding this item will allow you to summon the Female Ghost: Bai Yu】

【Warning: This Fierce Ghost is extrely dangerous. Please approach with caution.】

That doll had originally been a gift from Bai Yu to her younger sister, Bai Sisi.

One night, sothing terrible had happened to Bai Sisi.

And throughout that entire event, she had held the rabbit doll tightly in her arms.

That was why Bai Yu had said those seemingly childish words.

Because within that doll was Bai Sisi’s courage.

When soone held the rabbit doll, they would be influenced by it—becoming braver and even overcoming fear.

“This ti, I will definitely bring Miss Rabbit with on the mission!”

Sitting in front of her computer while searching for information about Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School, Zhao Mingyue made a silent vow.

“Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School cafeteria poisoning case. Thirty-six students in a class, twenty-four deaths…”

“Huh? Was this place originally an orphanage? Why did it later beco a school?”

With the experience from Sunshine Apartnts, Zhao Mingyue easily filtered out the useful information this ti. However, none of the information she found seed particularly helpful.

“It looks like I still have to visit the place myself.”
