Tang Qi walked through the bustling campus with Sally. Although Tang Qi had a good appearance and was very approachable, he was still accompanied by Unlucky Sally. To avoid catching her bad luck, Tang Qi only received a few invitations along the way.
They were just a few promotional pamphlets, nothing too enthusiastic.
This made Sally even more embarrassed, but thankfully, the two of them quickly left Thorn High School.
When they got on the bus, Sally was visibly relieved.
But she quickly became nervous again, looking around anxiously, afraid that something unlucky would happen at that moment, confirming that she was indeed plagued by bad luck.
She had had enough of living without a single friend. Some people might enjoy solitude, but she wasn't that kind of girl.
Most importantly, she had finally met a true friend.
That's right, Sally could feel it with absolute clarity; she might have made a true friend.
As a girl who had been plagued by so-called bad luck since she was a child, she had lived a very difficult life. She had experienced a lot of malice, both from her surroundings and from other people.
Besides shaping her current personality, this had also given her a keen perception.
At least when it came to judging whether someone was sincere, she was very certain. If she didn't have this ability, she might have been ruined by those unruly and lawless students who didn't know right from wrong, thanks to her peculiar luck.
Because of this, she particularly cherished Tang Qi, her new friend.
The girl's nervousness fell into Tang Qi's eyes, which actually eased a hint of urgency in his heart.
He knew the world was undergoing drastic changes, and he knew there was a powerful enemy waiting for him. He even knew that the seemingly safe environment he was currently in was actually a trap being set by a certain super force.
The situation was completely different from what it appeared on the surface, where he was a wealthy second-generation youth who possessed vast wealth and could enjoy a comfortable life.
But at least, it wasn't so bad that Tang Qi had to be on edge all the time.
Sitting by the window, Tang Qi watched the streets the bus passed by. The buildings on either side were similar to those on Earth in his previous life, but there were many differences in the details. He let out a faint sigh and suddenly started chatting casually with Sally.
Of course, it was mostly Tang Qi asking questions and Sally answering.
A hidden rule that existed in most schools: quiet, introverted girls were usually top students.
Sally was not only a top student, but she was also the kind who had a wide range of knowledge.
Whether it was regular subjects or some strange and unusual things, you could get answers from Sally.
Tang Qi could ask targeted questions and get precise and detailed answers, allowing him to quickly increase his understanding of this new world without having to sift through large amounts of information.
Time flew by quickly during their pleasant conversation, and the journey was very smooth.
After getting off the bus, they arrived at a magnificent and ancient building, a library full of humanistic charm.
Messer Library!
As a building established almost at the same time as Messer City, its history was incredibly long, and its collection of books was among the best in Mihuang State. Perhaps only a few libraries in Mihuang City, the state capital of Mihuang State, could compare.
Just before closing time, Tang Qi successfully borrowed a few seemingly heavy books.
Sally glanced at the books Tang Qi borrowed. They were clearly unrelated to their school curriculum, such as Textual Research on the Deeds of the Twelve Saints, One Hundred Years of Federal Oddities: Absurdity and Reality, One Hundred Guesses About the Mysterious Meteor, Detailed Examination of Federal Bureau of Investigation Cold Cases, and so on. The only one that might be related was probably Monster Files.
Although it was a bit strange, Sally didn't ask about it.
A smart girl would never deliberately cross boundaries.
And what made the clever girl feel very happy was that nothing unexpected happened until they parted ways at the central stop in the Bronx. None of the bigger unlucky scenarios she had anticipated appeared.
The girl was very excited and also puzzled.
While waving goodbye to Tang Qi, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
She had no idea that because his power was growing every day, Tang Qi's various physical attributes had also surged. His current hearing was sensitive enough to catch all of Sally's murmurs before she left.
"It's so strange today. Why didn't Tang Qi fall down? He wasn't hit in the head by a suddenly flying basketball, he didn't lose any money, and he didn't even bump into anyone while walking... This is just too strange."
"Did all my bad luck disappear? Am I not Unlucky Sally anymore?"
"Great, today might be the most peaceful day of my life."
"No, I can't relax too much. Today might be an accident, and tomorrow will be the usual various accidents."
"I hope Tang Qi can be a little stronger. He should be able to, right? After all, he's so amazing. He was a hero saving the beauty that night."
"Oh dear, I think I was the beauty. So nervous."
Tang Qi watched Sally go home with a smile, unable to help but marvel at how the girl could say so much in such a short time. It seemed that people who were used to talking to themselves could gain one or two points in speaking speed.
However, hearing the latter part, Tang Qi's mouth also twitched slightly.
With a wry smile, Tang Qi shook his head and walked towards his current home with the books in his arms.
There was no need to go out of his way to the main school gate, as it was likely locked anyway. Tang Qi walked directly towards the side gate.
Although he had to pass through the chaotic Bronx, the advantage was that it was very close.
However, less than a minute later, when Tang Qi turned a street and was only two streets away from his brick house, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Crack!
His body stopped with him. Tang Qi turned his head slightly and looked at a dark alley beside him.
From inside, strange sounds came out.
It was the sound of people doing what they enjoyed doing – suppressed moans, seemingly unbearable pleasure, and a hint of pain. Given the environment, it wasn't hard to imagine what was happening inside.
It was simply the inevitable scene after an impatient john encountered a nightingale.
As a high school student, Tang Qi should have turned and run.
However, at this moment, a strange look appeared on Tang Qi's face. He carefully placed the books one by one into the cloth bag provided by the library, held it in one hand, and then walked step by step into the alley.
"Whoosh"
"Tap tap~"
Although there were already many sounds in the alley, the faint breeze carrying a slight smell of sewage in the dead of night in Bronx still carried the sound of Tang Qi's footsteps into the ears of the three people who were passionately entangled.
More accurately, two people.
Using the incredibly faint streetlight above, Tang Qi saw the terrifying scene in the alley.
There was indeed exciting and alluring activity, but it was quite different from what most people imagined.
Among the three entangled figures, one was a middle-aged man with a face full of hardship and resentment, wearing a clean but cheap suit and a bald head. He looked like an office worker, perfectly fitting the description of someone who came here to release stress. The other two figures, with exaggeratedly revealing dresses, one black and one white silk stockings, and overly heavy makeup, also fit the description of "nightingales."
However, at this moment, their method of entanglement was unusual.
At the very least, it shouldn't be two nightingales using their hands and feet to wrap around the middle-aged man, then constantly gnawing at his flesh and blood with their snow-white teeth. His neck was half-severed, his head dangling, and one beautiful head was focused on sucking the gushing blood.
The other nightingale was趴 on the man's abdomen, eating happily with her mouth, and not forgetting to use both hands to pull out the fatty intestines and stuff them into her mouth.
If Tang Qi hadn't interrupted, these two nightingales would probably have been in a very good mood, after all, not everyone gets to enjoy a feast with their good sister late at night.
Of course, in the moment their green eyes reflected Tang Qi's figure.
Their mood got even better.
"Hehehe... look what we've found, a tender little rabbit."
"A surprise, a surprise I haven't felt in a long time."
The two ladies whose meal was interrupted happily threw aside the poor middle-aged man, stood up gracefully, completely unconcerned about their nearly exposed bodies.
However, Tang Qi had no interest in admiring them at this moment.
Tang Qi carefully placed the cloth bag in his hand in a clean spot in the corner, then slowly walked towards the two beauties who were grinning under the streetlight. With his enhanced vision, Tang Qi could clearly see the fresh, reddish meat fibers in the gaps between their teeth, and the thick, dripping blood.
As he walked, he recalled the book One Hundred Years of Federal Oddities: Absurdity and Reality that he had flipped through and borrowed from the library.
It had many chapters about urban oddities.
"Bronx Dog-Faced Man, I've seen it."
"Now turn to chapter two, and explain to me what a... Ghoul Nightingale is?"
Bang~ Bang
Almost at the instant Tang Qi uttered these words, the two beautiful figures simultaneously shattered the floor tiles. Amidst the swirling air currents, they pounced like two evil spirits towards the high school student who looked incredibly tender and delicious.
