Egbert followed her to school and changed into a more normal outfit, a T-shirt, trousers and sneakers, a cap, two strands of hair falling on his cheeks, and the rest tied behind his head with a rose-colored headband, looking youthful.
His appearance is extremely deceptive. People who see him for the first time would think he is a reserved and noble little prince. His smile is natural and innocent. He is beautiful enough and non-aggressive.
Like many predators in nature, they are accustomed to disguising themselves in a harmless appearance.
Except for those cursed people who were killed in the ruins of the ancient castle, anyone who sees Egbert will be amazed by his appearance and then love him.
This trait becomes particularly evident after entering university.
Even though he was wearing a hat and didn't say a word, being so low-key, he still attracted a lot of attention.
After Qin Feichang became Luo Lan, she only came to school a few times. The classmates who knew her were curious about her, but unfortunately she was aloof before and cold now, making it difficult to approach her. The classmates who noticed the drastic change in her had no chance to make friends with her even if they wanted to.
This time, many classmates also focused their eyes on her, and of course more eyes were on Egbert beside her.
Qingshan University has an open-minded school spirit. For classes like this, outsiders are not prohibited from entering the classroom to listen. As long as they can keep quiet and not disturb the students, there is no problem. Students often bring their boyfriends and girlfriends to attend classes together, but the only one who can attract onlookers is Egbert.
A classmate came over and started a conversation.
"Luo Lan, is he your boyfriend? The one who accompanies you to class?"
Qin Feichang put on a diplomatic standard smile and replied, "Yes."
"He's so handsome, is he a celebrity?"
Qin Feichang: “No.”
"Can you take a picture? I want to post it online!"
Qin Feichang: "Sorry, it's not very convenient."
…
After several rounds of conversation, all those who came for Egbert left disappointed. Qin Feichang heard their dissatisfied murmurs, which were basically saying that she had a bad attitude, didn't give people face, and was difficult to get along with. Qin Feichang was tired of hearing such words when he was in school, and he turned his book indifferently.
Time is precious, and wasting it on verbal arguments is meaningless.
Egbert sat beside her, with one hand supporting his chin as he looked at the whispering students, and the other hand on the back of Qin Feichang's chair, his bright red lips raised.
He noticed a certain gaze and turned his head to look accurately at a boy behind him on the right.
There were so many people in the classroom, and almost all of them were looking at him, but the person his eyes occasionally looked at was the person next to him.
He turned his head, and the boy saw his face clearly and was stunned for a moment. Egbert raised the brim of his hat and suddenly showed him a sweet smile, and the boy blushed all of a sudden.
The boy's companion thought he saw Luo Lan blushing, so he bumped into him and laughed softly, "Why do you pay so much attention to Luo Lan every time she comes back? Are you in love with her? If you like her, chase her quickly. You will definitely get her. Didn't she have a crush on you before?"
With a smile on his face, Egbert leaned close to Qin Feichang's ear and said almost close to her ear: "You had a crush on that man before? He didn't seem to have any outstanding qualities."
As he said this, his eyes were still fixed on the blushing boy behind him, with a sinister malice flowing in his pure black eyes.
Qin Feichang glanced back. She had a vague impression that she had met him at the entrance of the library when she first came to school. She pulled the brim of Egbert's hat and turned his head around to prevent him from looking back. She said calmly, "Who do you think I have a crush on?"
Egbert thought for a moment and concluded, "You won't."
Qin Feichang handed him a piece of paper and a pen, asking him to pass the time so that he wouldn't cast a nightmare spell when he was bored, allowing the whole class to experience the ghost campus copy.
Soon the class started, and with the teacher and the teaching assistant present, the others finally stopped staring at them. Egbert drew with the pen and didn't cause any trouble.
Qin Feichang was paying close attention to Egbert during class, thinking he was too quiet. After a while, he looked at the picture he had drawn on the paper.
This beautiful boy is doing something erotic with a pure and innocent look on his face. It's their pornographic picture, a scene from last night... probably.
Egbert, who was carefully drawing a certain spot, noticed her gaze, shook the tip of his pen on the paper, and smiled deliberately ambiguously: "Why, my drawing is wrong?"
Qin Feichang looked at the pornographic picture with himself as the protagonist, his mood remained unchanged, and he even wanted to laugh, "It's nothing, you continue to draw."
The day passed uneventfully, and when Qin Feichang walked out of the campus gate, he ticked an item on his schedule.
Today's test was very successful. In such an environment, Egbert has never shown any tendency to harm ordinary people.
He was brought out from Kirishima by her, and since he stayed with her, she had to ensure his safety and minimize the harm he could cause. She wanted to turn herself into a rope or something else that could tie him up.
Eggbert was looking through some pornographic pictures he had drawn at school. Qin Feichang asked, "Since you like drawing so much, my company is making games recently. Why don't you come to my company and help me draw promotional pictures?"
Egbert: “?”
His expression was a little bit unbelievable.
Qin Feichang: "I will arrange a workstation for you in the company. If you want to learn computer drawing, that's fine. If you are not used to it, canvas and paint will be prepared for you. You can go whenever you want."
Egbert: "You want me to help you... play games?"
Qin Feichang looked at him and said, "Is it not possible?"
Former horror movie boss Eggbert never thought that his next career path would be so strange.
His expression of surprise turned into a thoughtful look. He had been in Kirishima for too long. Coming to the new world, it would be a lie if he said he didn't want to try new things, but he had never thought of trying this. This suggestion somewhat disrupted his thoughts.
The two walked on the street, and there were fewer and fewer people around them. Soon, there were only two of them. Qin Feichang stopped and looked at the empty street. This street was shrouded in a blue shadow, and the sunlight on another street at the intersection was warm yellow. The two streets seemed to separate two worlds.
She realized something was wrong and turned around to go back, but Egbert didn't stop. He put his arm around her shoulders and led her forward. "Don't be afraid. Someone has prepared an interesting show. Let's watch it together."
Hearing his slightly excited tone, Qin Feichang knew that he was producing crazily.
"Whose show?" She asked this question while having a guess in her mind.
"It's your 'friends' show." Egbert's answer confirmed her guess.
Qin Fei secretly sighed. She felt like a doctor who saw that the patient was out of danger, but the family members gave the patient random food, causing the disease to relapse.
Why make trouble when something can be dealt with if you just bear with it
This street was very short, but it seemed endless. The street in front of them, covered by the warm sun, was getting farther and farther away from them. The road under their feet began to twist. Slowly, the scenery in front changed and turned into a small church. The buildings on both sides turned into big trees.
Candles were lit on the roadside, and the flames of many candles jumped in unison. Suddenly, the flames rose and the blazing fire enveloped them.
"Pfft..." Eggbert leaned his head on Qin Feichang's shoulder and complained like a spoiled child, "What a crude illusion! Are they teasing me?"
Qin felt the heat from the flames on his face. The feeling of being burned was indeed vivid, but it was far less realistic than the ruins of Egbert Castle.
Egbert's two hands on her shoulders held her tightly, and the coldness soaked through her clothes and branded her shoulders, dispelling the heat around her.
There was a wisp of smoke in the air. After Qin Feichang inhaled the smoke, she felt dizzy and could no longer move. She knew that she could not handle this situation, so she could only whisper before she fell into a coma: "In a society ruled by law, it is best not to kill people. If you must kill someone, please do it cleanly. I don't want to be involved in any murder case."
Without waiting for Egbert to answer, she closed her eyes and fell into Egbert's arms.
Before seeing the person who created the illusion, Qin Fei was already very sure that Egbert would not lose. Her understanding of Egbert was the most profound among all people. If she had not realized how terrifying he was, she would not have accepted being bound to him without a struggle, nor would she have gone to such lengths to appease him.
Egbert smiled like a flower, licked his bright red lips, touched Qin Feichang's cheek, and murmured: "I knew you were the smartest."
Smart people can recognize the situation, but stupid people cannot.
When he left Kirishima, he said that the curse had not disappeared. Because as long as there was hatred between them, the curse would always exist. Not only his hatred, but also the hatred of those cursed.
On the real street, three wizards and mediums, two men and one woman, formed a triangle with Egbert and Qin Feichang as the center. An old man sat cross-legged in a corner with a circle of candles lit, and the flames of nothingness rose around him.
Egbert held Qin Feichang in his arms, and thick fog filled the air around them. As soon as the fog appeared, the arrogant and burning flames were instantly suppressed to the lowest level. Translucent ghosts emerged from the sewers, walls, and roads, whistling in the fog and continuously spreading outward.
The candles surrounding the old man changed from orange to dark blue. The wizard sitting in the circle of candles began to tremble all over, rolled his eyes, and twisted his limbs crazily.
"Oh no, Wizard Aura is possessed by a ghost!" Wizard Rhodes in the other corner shouted, pulled out his staff and chanted a spell to exorcise the ghost, but the ghost in Wizard Aura's body was drawn out, and immediately other ghosts scrambled for his body.
Seeing this, Wizard Rhodes could only ignore him for the time being. He pulled out a small bottle from around his neck and poured the golden liquid inside towards Egbert.
More and more ghosts gathered around Egbert. They were not ghosts on the fog island, but were summoned from nearby. These mindless ghosts were attracted by the breath of living people and tentatively approached the unconscious Qin Feichang.
Egbert, who was watching the wizard struggling outside, suddenly turned his head and smiled grimly, "Get out of here."
The ghost that approached instantly let out a painful howl and hid in the fog.
The golden liquid sprinkled by the wizard Rhodes turned into several beams of brilliant golden light. The phantom of the church in the illusion came in front of Egbert, and countless holy chants came from the church.
The ghosts gathered around were like a school of fish being driven away, and were scattered in panic by the light. Egbert stood still, watching the building getting closer and closer to him. The magnificent golden church made him look small and helpless.
Suddenly, countless rose thorns rose from the ground and covered the entire church. The red roses blooming on the branches withered in the blink of an eye. The red color obscured the golden light and devoured the tall shadow like an ant colony.
The holy bottle held by the wizard Ross broke into pieces and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The remaining medium's expression changed again and again. She took back the bell in her hand and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
She and Wizard Ross caught the ghost-possessed Wizard Aura, and the three of them fled to another street. When they looked back, they all had fear in their eyes.
"How come that nightmare ghost is so powerful?"
"I didn't expect that I underestimated him... Let's go, if he catches up with us we won't be able to leave!"
The streets returned to silence, the dark blue shadows gradually faded away, Egbert opened his eyes, held the sleeping Qin Feichang in his arms, and walked out in a good mood.
