Chapter 44): Hunting Urban Legends is a Dangerous Thing
Yibei never thought that he would take up reading a newspaper again.
“The body went missing at night, and two days later, it was found under the pier. The victim supposedly drowned but died with a smile on his face…” she pondered as she caressed the fake teeth that were perched on her shoulder.
“Do you usually read the news?” she asked the fake teeth.
“Sometimes, the news is hard to decipher. Some people are alive but dead, and some are dead but alive. Paying close attention to news like this reminds me that there is a sense of reality left in the world.”
Yibei nodded, having a little understanding of the personalities of her “roommates.”
The fake teeth are pessimistic, the eyeballs are filled with a fiery rage, the wig is cunning, the nightgown is introverted and shy, and the coat… is just stupid.
“So, should I head over to, let’s see, Linjiang Avenue?” she wondered. “How can I guarantee that it’ll appear?”
“The night is long! It’ll definitely appear tonight,” the eyeballs bounced.
Something flashed in Yibei’s eyes. From the eyeballs’ words, she guessed that on some nights, urban legends would become more active. Could the girl in his dream be referring to this?
