Chapter 57 - Danger! Brushing Past the Body

Mo Fan felt as though he was burning up with impatience and worry. At this moment, he really wished he had a movement spell so he could quickly arrive at Mingwen Girls Middle School.

Sitting in the slow taxi, he finally arrived at Aunt Mo Qing’s house.

As he dashed into his aunt’s house, Mo Fan almost crashed into a girl in a wheelchair as he turned a corner.

“Brother Mo Fan!” Ye Xinxia smiled sweetly, she was astonished and delighted that he was there.

“Xinxia, you’re okay! You scared the living hell out of me.” When Mo Fan finally saw Ye Xinxia’s smile, his heart immediately calmed down.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why was your phone turned off when I called you?”

“Payment was due, I wasn’t willing to pay.” Ye Xinxia lowered her head as she answered, feeling embarrassed.

“…”

Alright, the girl only wanted to save a little money.

Either way, as long as she was okay, it was good. Mo Fan loosened up.

“Did the Practicals go smoothly?” Ye Xinxia handed a rolled handkerchief to Mo Fan.

Nowadays, girls who carried a handkerchief were far too few. It’s not that Xinxia was immersed in literature, but it was because carrying one would save money.

Mo Fan wiped his sweat as he also smelled the fragrance on the handkerchief. Hmm, there’s still that alluring body fragrance. The ones I stole before have lost their fragrance…eh, I almost exposed my vulgar actions.

“I heard that there are missing girls from your school?” Mo Fan asked.

“Mhm.” Ye Xinxia urgently nodded several times. “It’s really scary this time, Aunt won’t even let me go to school.”

“Tell me what’s going on.”

“It’s a girl from my next door class, her name is Lin Yun’er. The day she disappeared, I was also in the library, she even told me that she was going back to the dormitory. However, after that, I never saw her again. None of the cameras in school saw her leaving the school, either...” Ye Xinxia said in a low voice.

Seeing her turning pale at recalling this, Mo Fan lightly patted her shoulder.

“In this case, you’re the last person to see her?” Mo Fan asked.

“Yeah, the police have already asked me numerous times, but that is all I know. However…” Ye Xinxia lowered her head.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Fan asked.

“After leaving the library, I smelled something strange. This smell was similar to the rancid odor that is emitted from a certain place in the school cafeteria. However, our library is far from the cafeteria, and at that time, I felt a strange chill. It was like… something was staring at me. I was really scared, so I hurriedly left that place,” Ye Xinxia said.

Mo Fan’s brow creased. Apparently, she had already been extremely close to danger!

“Brother Mo Fan, if I didn’t leave that early…” Ye Xinxia was clearly at a loss.

“Yeah, it’s a good thing that you left early, or else you could possibly have become the missing girl!” Mo Fan was glad inside.

Ye Xinxia shook her head as she used a voice that only she seemed to be able to hear to blame herself, “I reckon that scary thing’s initial objective was me. Since I hurriedly left the place, it turned its attention toward the person next to me, Li Yun’er. I...I should’ve gone to find Lin Yun’er and had her leave the school with me.”

As Mo Fan heard Ye Xinxia blaming herself, he was momentarily speechless.
