What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 28: Supernatural World

A lean man in black appeared in the doorway, holding a dagger in his hand, silently creeping towards the direction of the room, his eyes scanning around, vigilant and cruel.

Entering the apartment, the first thing he saw was the second bedroom door ajar. He glanced inside and his eyes immediately widened.

A stunning beauty was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, wearing cute pajamas and closing her eyes.

The man drooled, “She is so beautiful…”

Then he became overjoyed.

This was not the person he was looking for, he might have gone to the wrong house number… but the harvest was no less impressive, he had struck big!

He walked in stealthily, approaching closer and closer, his eyes becoming excited to the point of turning red.

At that moment, the beauty on the bed coldly opened her eyes.

A flash of light, and electricity filled the empty room.

The man seemed to have fallen into the most terrifying nightmare, unable to move or scream, unable to even breathe properly, as if plunged into hell.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him, and a broom fiercely hit the back of his head. The man instinctively wanted to hold his head, but he was unable to even lift his hands, falling to the ground with a frightened expression.

What the hell was going on, a petrification spell?

The beauty looked behind him, and the icy killing intent turned into a smile in an instant.

Chu Ge, holding the broom, fiercely swept at the fallen man, and nervously asked, “Are you okay?”

Qiu Wuji wanted to laugh, “Who are you asking?”

“Uh…” Chu Ge stopped, and then realized that in front of Qiu Wuji, a thief should really be careful about their own safety… she was still a cultivator, the soul of a top-level powerhouse! What was he so nervous about…

Qiu Wuji’s smile became even stronger, “He entered through the door and made very little noise. How were you able to sense him?”

“Uh, because I wasn’t asleep… I felt something was wrong when there was some movement.”

In fact, it was probably because he had been paying attention to the sounds next door… Qiu Wuji thought to herself, but didn’t say it. After all, he was just a poor writer with no strength and aching all over, and yet he was so anxious to rush in with a broom… how did that feel?

She said slowly, “Be careful, you are so weak, and he has a dagger in his hand… are you catching thieves or looking for death?”

Chu Ge’s face turned red and he said loudly, “This is a man’s job!”

“Ha…” Qiu Wuji looked him up and down, then finally looked down at the thief on the ground.

Chu Ge also looked at the thief with a sour face.

The man was almost in tears, wondering if they had finally remembered that there was someone on the ground? What’s the matter with this couple? Is this the treatment that a thief deserves after being caught? He had imagined hundreds of ways to die, but had never thought of this…

Qiu Wuji asked Chu Ge, “What do you usually do with thieves caught here? Can you kill them yourself, or do you have to report to the authorities?”

The man on the ground, “?!”

Chu Ge quickly said, “We need to send them to the authorities. We cannot kill them.”

Qiu Wuji asked, “What if he becomes an idiot? Is there a problem?”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to search his soul.”

Chu Ge replied, “It’s better not to. Even if he becomes an idiot, we won’t be able to explain how. It’s better to just ask him.”

“What if he refuses to talk?” Qiu Wuji asked seriously. “We can at least try. He’s weak, and I can try to search his soul without hurting him, but there’s a certain probability, and I can’t guarantee it…”

Before she finished speaking, the man panicked and shouted, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk by myself!”

He didn’t dare to gamble whether the strange woman was bluffing or not. If he were really forced to endure this ‘soul-searching’, he might end up like the characters in the novels, with his soul being destroyed. He’d rather go to jail!

Qiu Wuji looked at him coldly, her eyes locking onto his. “Where did you learn how to pass through walls?”

The man hesitated. “…”

Is this what you’re concerned about? Aren’t you supposed to be asking me why I came here to your place?

Seeing his hesitation, Qiu Wuji’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and her fingers, white as jade, were about to press against his forehead.

The man had no doubt that this woman was really capable of killing. He shouted in cold sweat, “This is my own awakened supernatural power… Many people have it…”

Qiu Wuji’s fingers hung in the air above his forehead, and she glanced at Chu Ge.

Many people have it?

Was this a sign of the revival of spiritual energy or of the awakening of supernatural abilities?

“How many people is ‘many’? I’ve lived for almost thirty years, how come I don’t know?”

The man smiled apologetically. “Of course, the total number is very small, and ordinary people don’t know about it… it’s normal for those who have just awakened their abilities, like you, to not be able to find others who are similar. But as they become more special, they will gradually become involved in some things and begin to form their own circles…”

Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji exchanged another look, and Chu Ge finally asked the question he should have asked first: “You have the ability to pass through walls, and you use it to be a thief? Your circle is quite high-end.”

“A thief?” The man hesitated and didn’t answer.

Qiu Wuji’s fingertips began to emit a terrifying light.

“Don’t, don’t search my soul! I’ll talk!” The man shouted in fear, “I’m here to search for an enemy, I only know she’s in this area, but I don’t know the specifics, so I’m searching house by house…”

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while before suddenly saying, “This guy is lying, beat him.”

Qi Wuji didn’t immediately understand why Chu Ge thought he was lying. But when Chu Ge said so, she instinctively conjured up a hand made of air and slapped him hard.

The man lost a tooth and his face was swollen and bruised as he cried out, “I’m innocent! I’m telling the truth!”

“You want to fool me,” Chu Ge sneered, “Who goes house by house in the middle of the day? It’s not like everyone takes a nap at noon. Clearly, your target is either not at home or sleeping, so you chose this unreasonable time. The target is obviously specific and not a general search.”

The man’s face changed, and even Qi Wuji was slightly taken aback. She couldn’t help but praise Chu Ge for his accurate judgment as she conjured up another hand and struck the man hard, “You’re going to die, and you still want to lie!”

Chu Ge stood by with his hands in his pockets, watching the man scream in pain and bleed all over his face. His own cheeks twitched a little.

This female tyrant was too violent… it was really lucky that he hadn’t been beaten to death before.

It must be because he was too handsome that she couldn’t bear to hit her.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” The man was already in tears. He cried out, “I’m here to deal with Yue Ying… I followed her, and the elevator stopped on this floor, but I didn’t dare to follow too closely…”

Chu Ge instantly remembered the image of the girl next door in his mind.

She hides during the day and comes out at night, drunk and injured.

Is it her?

“What does she do?” Chu Ge asked.

“Underground black boxing… she has won too many times and has violated taboos… and some suspect that she may be involved in the assassination business, and there are cases related to her.”

Chu Ge’s lips twitched, feeling that this story was a bit magical.

Are there really black boxing and assassins in this day and age, and is the girl next door really involved in it?

He regretted himself and Zhang Qiren for fantasizing about going to some places and calling her, now he’s afraid that they would be beaten to death!

Anyway, since the female lead from his novel has come out, strange things don’t seem to be that surprising. Chu Ge asked in a daze, “Are there really assassins? How come I haven’t heard of anyone being killed…”

He stopped himself halfway through.

There were so many cases of death and disappearance every day, and the police doesn’t announce everything, how would ordinary citizens know? It’s like the so-called underground black boxers, which seem to have only been seen in novels even though he had lived for so many years.

He looked up and made eye contact with Qiu Wuji. She seemed to know what he was thinking and whispered, “Do you want to go to their circle and take a look?”

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment and shook his head, “We don’t know the other side’s strength, it’s better not to get involved and just pretend we don’t know. Can we erase this guy’s memory just now? I’ll hand him over to the police.”

Qiu Wuji looked at him without speaking.

According to her thoughts, she wasn’t afraid of such involvement, on the contrary, she should take the initiative to get involved to enter the extraordinary atmosphere of this world as quickly as possible. Moreover, not having an ID in this secretive circle is not a problem at all, it’s much more meaningful than dealing with household chores.

But obviously, Chu Ge didn’t want to abruptly break this kind of life.

Qiu Wuji wasn’t in a hurry before, but now, she wanted to speed things up.

Because they have different views on different events.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Qiu Wuji suddenly smiled slightly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. Erasing his memory in the short term isn’t a big problem. Hmm…let’s just erase his memory up to the point when he entered the door. He won’t know what happened even when he’s sober, and he’ll wonder how he was caught…”

Chu Ge sighed and took out his phone, wondering if he should call 110 or just call Lin Wuyang directly.

Then Qiu Wuji slapped the man again and said, “Hand over all your money and valuables. I’ve been stuck here with the mundane world for so long, enduring not going out to steal, and someone actually came by himself.”

The man: “??”

Chu Ge: “…”
