Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 46 Part 5

Xu Turan: “…?”

She looked at Yang Buqi in surprise, pondered for a moment, then nodded. Yang Buqi took back the phone and deleted the content. After his reminder, Xu Turan remembered something: “By the way, how is my brother?”

“He’s fine, already back at work. We hypnotized him to think he had food poisoning,” Yang Buqi said. “But you were unconscious for quite a while, he’s actually been quite concerned, constantly asking about your condition…”

“Ah?” Xu Turan was stunned, “How long was I unconscious?”

Yang Buqi looked at her deeply: “It’s been almost 4 days now.”

Xu Turan: …

Was it really that long?

Xu Turan was shocked.

Seeing her like this, Yang Buqi wasn’t sure whether to tell her that according to Pu Han’s prediction, she was actually supposed to be unconscious for a week…

“Oh right, I have some good news for you,” Yang Buqi noticed her shock and quickly said, “Your brother asked me to tell you, your admission results are out… It’s A University. Finance department. The really good one. The admission letter hasn’t arrived yet, but the results are already online.”

—How about that, isn’t it a nice surprise?

Xu Turan: “…”

Huh?

Finance… if I remember correctly, doesn’t that involve studying math?

Well, maybe I should just go back to crawling… she thought silently, suddenly realizing something was off.

“Wait a minute,” she looked at Yang Buqi strangely, “Since when did you become so close with my brother?”

“…”

Yang Buqi fell silent.

It’s not that they were particularly close, it’s just that someone had to be responsible for dealing with Xu’s brother, and since Yang Buqi had a good relationship with Xu Turan, it naturally fell to him.

Shortly after Xu Turan woke up, someone indeed came to question her. Because they had coordinated their stories beforehand, and with Pu Han covering for them, they easily dealt with it, and she was moved back to her own home that same afternoon.

She was still not feeling well, feeling like her brain was sloshing around when she walked. But she really didn’t want to continue staying in the mental hospital. The house in Star Park had been cleaned up, and she still chose to live there, but this time, she was alone in the house.

Her adopted brother had already flown to another city. Xu Turan didn’t want to hire a caretaker, so Yang Buqi could only come to check on her from time to time. On this day, he came over again, helping to sweep the floor while asking about a book he had given to Xu Turan earlier.

“Which one? Advanced Mathematics or Linear Algebra?” Xu Turan said while doodling in a notebook, “My brain isn’t working well now and you’re still making me look at these, what are your intentions?”

“I’m just letting you get familiar with them in advance… and that’s not the book I’m asking about,” Yang Buqi said amusedly. “Pu Han asked me to give you a book earlier, said it could be taken back today.”

“Oh, you mean the one about runes, right?” Xu Turan finally realized, taking out a book titled 《Advanced Rune Explanations》 from under her pillow—this book was clearly self-printed, with an extremely rough cover.

“I looked at it, but only at the drawings inside. Those small words made me dizzy just looking at them,” Xu Turan said helplessly—her dizziness now was real, she would feel nauseous at the slightest movement, like having a concussion.

“Oh, it’s fine,” Yang Buqi said. “He said this book wasn’t for you to read, it was for your pen to read.”

Xu Turan: “…?”

???!

She turned her head to look at her desk, where there was a row of silver packaging, and a silver pen case, with the Planchette Pen placed inside.

Since Xu Turan moved back to Star Park, Yang Buqi had returned all those supernatural items, including the Planchette Pen—strangely enough, whether it was due to too much energy being extracted in the domain, or some greater stimulation, this pen had been in a listless state since returning to Xu Turan. Even when asked questions, it would only give brief answers, without any vitality.

But in the past two days, it suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, writing lyrics in the air when it had nothing else to do… Xu Turan carefully recalled, and finally remembered that two nights ago, when she woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, she did indeed see the fountain pen standing in the center of an open book page, silent and seemingly very profound.

Yang Buqi smiled, opened the book, pointed to a certain line, and handed it to Xu Turan.

Xu Turan focused and read aloud unconsciously: “Linked seal… unsealing requires fresh blood… and can only use one person’s blood, the unsealer must follow personal will…”

Hm? One person?

Xu Turan quickly looked at the accompanying illustration, which was a very complex rune array—exactly the same as the one on the pen.

“Pu Han said, you unsealed a small part of it in the domain?” Yang Buqi said in a low voice, “So now, it’s considered to be bound to you.”

The unsealing used Xu Turan’s own blood, which means that future unsealing must also use Xu Turan’s blood, and it must be of her own free will.

Xu Turan: “…”

No wonder, when I opened my eyes that day, I saw that pen repeatedly writing “Wish you peace” in the air, I thought I was having a nightmare.

Xu Turan had been worrying about the Planchette Pen, and now she could truly relax. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Yang Buqi turn and pick up his bag: “Oh right, there’s something else I need to give you.”

Xu Turan: “…”

Please don’t be study notes please don’t be study notes please don’t be study notes I beg you—

“Here,” Yang Buqi handed over a small velvet box, and Xu Turan closed her eyes in relief.

Thank goodness.

“This is…” she opened the box to see a black bead inside.

“It’s something Pu Han extracted from Haunted House No. 71’s memories,” Yang Buqi sat on the edge of her bed. “When he was sealing Haunted House No. 71, he took a glance at its memories and found that a part of it was related to you, so he extracted this part…”

“Huh?” Xu Turan was stunned, “Me?”

“Yes. But he said that what he could see from it was also very limited. You, as the related person, might be able to see more clearly,” Yang Buqi said. “It seems to be related to its ‘waiting’.”

“…I see,” Xu Turan lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and closed the lid. “I understand. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing,” Yang Buqi shook his head, explained how to use the bead, then picked up his bag again, “Oh, I almost forgot, I have some other things…”

Xu Turan: “?”

“I went home yesterday and specifically looked for my college notebooks… I have some advanced math problem sets here, and some lectures on college English… You’re not feeling well these days, so don’t look at the problems yet. When you’re better, I’ll slowly tell you where to start looking…”

Xu Turan: …

Let me go back and crawl.

She thought expressionlessly, life can’t go on like this. Just let me go back and crawl.
