Perverted Supernatural Academy

Chapter 14

He ran wildly along the edge of the barrier, and the snake woman, seeing him escape, naturally gave chase like an arrow.

They were running ahead and gliding behind. The snake woman behind him almost touched his clothes many times, but he managed to escape desperately. The two of them ran and chased each other for their lives, circling the edge of the barrier endlessly, making everyone else dizzy.

Since the opponent was Luo Tianwu, according to the rules of shikigami combat that Tangxin had just established in this space, other shikigami and their original forms were not allowed to interfere until one of them had been defeated. The remaining people could only stare dumbfounded at their boring chase, helpless.

The tedious chase lasted for about half an hour. The snake woman gradually slowed down and began to pant heavily. After a while, she even seemed to have shrunk in size.

Tang Xin's expression changed.

Lou Lifan had been watching them silently the whole time, but now a faint smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Tang Xin, as if he were saying something with his eyes, and Tang Xin turned her head away angrily.

He called out to Luo Tianwu, who was still exhausted from running and completely oblivious to the pursuers behind him, "Snake women have very poor stamina, let alone such a huge python! Now is the time!"

The snake woman's stamina was poor, and Luo Tianwu's was no better. He was panting even more heavily than the snake woman. When he heard Lou Lifan say it was time, he instinctively turned his head. He slowed down, and the snake woman instantly darted to his side, her long tongue the first to reach out and touch his face...

"Ugh!! How disgusting!!!! Backlash curse!!!!"

The Backlash Curse is the most powerful curse, reflecting all of the enemy's attack power back onto the enemy. Furthermore, due to the mirror-like force of the curse's backlash, the attack power can be doubled! However, this curse also has side effects. If the opponent's ability is three times greater than the caster's ability, the curse can be reflected back. Moreover, all curses have side effects. The caster will experience a severe decline in spiritual power about a day after casting the curse, at which time they are least prepared.

The snake woman's body seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall. With a loud bang, her body was squeezed into a ball, and her long tongue wrapped around her own head, binding it so tightly that even her eyes could not be seen. She quickly went limp and stopped moving.

Luo Tianwu, still shaken, collapsed to the ground, staring at the snake woman's limp body, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word.

"We won." Lou Lifan clapped his hands twice, glancing at Tang Xin. "How was it? Disappointed?"

"It's still early! It's still early!" Tang Xin angrily brandished her claws, her long hair, resembling spider claws, whipping around her back. "This is only the first shikigami! It's not that simple!"

He pointed at the snake woman who was lying there paralyzed and shouted, "Go back! Call your boss!"

The snake woman's body vanished silently from there.

“There are… two more shikigami,” Lou Lifan said.

Su Jueming ran to Luo Tianwu's side and found him still in a daze, so he grabbed him under his arm and dragged him back to Le Sui and the others.

Le Sui waved her hand in front of him, but there was no reaction. She asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Su Jueming smiled wryly: "The shock was too great... I guess he didn't expect something so huge to be destroyed so easily."

"……Too."

If they had faced the Snake Woman head-on, they would never have defeated her so easily. Their luck lay in Luo Tianwu's escape, which wore down the Snake Woman's stamina before using the backlash curse, ensuring that she wouldn't retaliate against Luo Tianwu because her abilities far surpassed theirs.

A small halo appeared in the center of the pentagram. Yue Sui and the others, who were talking, stopped talking and stared at it nervously, wondering what it would be this time.

Beneath the halo, another halo rose, then a third, a fourth...

The first halo floated to a height of about half a person and then stopped rising. The second halo rose below it and joined it. The third and fourth halo followed the same pattern, eventually forming a tube of light. The top fifth of the tube began to shrink, the middle part began to fork, and the bottom part split into two parts, just like a human body taking shape inside the tube of light.

This... could it be...?

Lou Lifan frowned. He glanced at Tang Xin, who was busy combing her hair and seemed too lazy to even look in his direction.

After forming a child's body model, the light tubes popped open gently from top to bottom, gradually revealing a child's face and body as the light fragments slowly peeled away.

It was a little boy, very thin, clearly from long-term malnutrition. His large head rested on a thin neck, looking as if it might break at any moment. He wore dirty, tattered clothes, was barefoot, and his thin, dark arms were tightly wrapped around himself. His large eyes stared in terror at the person in front of him.

Tianjin stopped her calculations, looked at the result on the ground, then at the child. She frowned, walked to Lou Lifan's side, and whispered, "This child..."

Lou Lifan waved his hand, stopping her from continuing.

"It's okay, let's see what tricks he can pull."

Su Jueming and Le Sui stared at the child in astonishment. Clearly, they had never seen such a shikigami before and were somewhat at a loss.

"Hey... he wouldn't be a shikigami made from a hungry ghost, would he...?"

"It's hard to say... what wouldn't that kind of person do..."

"But using such a young child... that's just too much!"

"This isn't just perverted, it's cruel!"

“This shikigami,” Tang Xin said, “is named Little Hungry. Who among you would like to participate?”

Le Sui and Su Jueming whispered to each other, "Hey, are you going to go or not?"

"No way! I can't do child abuse!"

"Me too……"

Tang Xin suddenly shouted, "Alright! Su Jueming and Le Sui forfeit! That's equivalent to defeat! Lou Lifan and Tian Jin, which of you will go up?"

Su Jueming was startled: "What?! Who said we forfeited?! We didn't!"

"Protest dismissed." Tang Xin smiled smugly at Lou Lifan, who was glaring at her. "So? Are you going to go or not?"

Su Jueming and the others cried out in protest, "Teacher! We really didn't..."

"Shut up!" It wasn't Tang Xin who spoke, but Tian Jin. She said coldly, "Anyway, you'll only lose if you go up there, so stop arguing."

"But……"

"Would you like to know about your misfortunes over the next ten years?"

"..."

"...We surrender..."

Only an idiot would bother to know about those misfortunes. Not only can they not avoid them, but they might even worsen the bad luck. This is a fact that every student at the Paranormal Academy knows.

Feeling extremely resentful at being left out again, Tang Xin floated closer to the barrier and called out to the child, "Little Hungry! Let me see how you do!"

The child was still terrified, cautiously approaching Lou Lifan and Tian Jin.

"Brother...sister...it wasn't what I wanted...he made me do it..." the child said in a small voice as he walked away, trying to explain himself.

Such a soft voice was heartbreaking and pitiful. If someone with a soft heart were here, they would definitely go over and pick him up to comfort him. But he was facing Lou Lifan and Tian Jin, and neither of them had anything to do with words like "soft-hearted".

The two of them stood there seemingly ordinary, but any psychic with even a little experience could tell that their psychic energy had reached its peak and they were ready for battle.

When they got within half a step of them, the child stopped trembling.

"This...this really wasn't what I wanted to do...brothers and sisters...can you forgive me...?"

Lou Lifan said slowly, "We will forgive you..."

A look of joy appeared on the child's face, but Lou Lifan then said three more words: "...That's a lie!"

With his five fingers outstretched, Su Jueming unleashed a powerful "spiritual energy strike" at the child, accompanied by a hurricane-like whistle. Amidst the cries of alarm from Su Jueming and Le Sui, the child's body scraped the ground and was slammed ten meters away. Wherever he passed, the soil and grass on the ground were overturned. In the end, half of his small body was buried underground, motionless.

The child didn't make a sound at all.

"Lou Lifan!" Su Jueming stood up, strode over to him, grabbed him by the collar, and roared, "Are you even human?! How could you hurt such a small child!"

Lou Lifan looked at him indifferently: "You idiot."

"What did you say!" Seeing Su Jueming about to throw a punch, Le Sui hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed his waist and pulled him back.

"Jue Ming! Now is not the time to fight! Lou Lifan must have his reasons for doing this!"

"What reason could he possibly have!" Su Jueming exclaimed angrily. "Even though it's a shikigami, it's still just something a child made! How could he be so cold-blooded as to slap it down like that!"

Le Sui clung tightly to his waist, refusing to let go: "Regardless of whether he's cold-blooded or not, don't you find it strange!"

Su Jueming stopped what he was doing: "What's strange?"

Le Sui opened her mouth, but before she could answer, the child who had been knocked into the ground began to wriggle, letting out a soft cry: "Mommy... Mommy... Waaaaah... Mommy... It hurts so much... Mommy..."

Although the crying wasn't loud, it was heartbreaking, and even Tian Jin and Lou Lifan couldn't help but show a hint of pity on their faces.

The child slowly crawled out of the soil, his dark, thin face covered in blood and grime. One of his little arms was broken and twisted in a strange way, with part of the broken bone exposed. He crawled with difficulty using only his other little hand and two legs.

"Waaaaah... Mommy... Where are you... Waaaaah... It hurts so much... Mommy..."

Su Jueming clenched his right hand into a fist.

"Look what you've done!!!"

He threw a punch at Lou Lifan, who didn't dodge and just took it head-on. However, his face was turned to the side by the punch, and when he turned his head back, his eyes were cold.

Su Jueming broke free from Le Sui and ran towards the child without looking back.

"You don't even have this much judgment and you still want to be a psychic? I don't know how your school let you graduate." Lou Lifan said calmly, standing there. "If you really want to save that shikigami, then do as you please. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me if it dies."

Su Jueming ran to the child's side, picked up his small body and gently comforted him in his arms: "Don't cry, big brother will help you heal your wounds and take you to find your mother..."

The child looked up at him innocently, his face covered in blood: "Really? Big brother?"

“Really,” Su Jueming said tenderly, gently brushing the child’s disheveled hair aside. “Of course it’s true…”

"Jue Ming!!! ...

Su Jueming stared in astonishment at the child's hair that fell off with a light touch, revealing a gruesome bloody mess where the hair had been. He slowly released his other hand from the child's body, which touched the child's naked body exposed outside the tattered clothes, which was also covered with festering skin and blood.

"this……"

He tried to look away, but his eyes wouldn't obey. He watched helplessly as the child's face slowly rotted before him, first pieces of skin peeling off, then flesh, his eyes sunken in, slowly turning into pus that trickled down his cheeks. His teeth loosened and fell out, leaving a large, empty hole in his mouth. Yet, he still spoke with a strange, joyful voice, "It's real..."

Su Jueming let out a scream and tried to push the child away and retreat, but before he knew it, the child's lower body had split into several tentacle-like things. Some of them were stuck in the ground, and some were wrapped around his waist and legs, making him unable to move.

"Say it... okay... take me to find my mother..."

Lou Lifan roared, "Su Jueming! Tear it off! Don't let it out!"

"What..." Su Jueming instinctively wanted to turn around, but only heard a "poof" sound, blood splattered everywhere, the child's head exploded, and a black, gooey thing covered in sticky blood was crawling out.

That's... a parasitic ghost!!!

Parasites are ghosts that reside inside the bodies of living people. They often live in groups and devour a person's spirit and body from the inside. A body that has lost its spirit will soon rot and die. However, parasites do not like rotting bodies, so they will start looking for new victims before the body rots. In this light, the child's spirit has already disappeared. The person who was talking to Su Jueming and Lou Lifan just now was not the child himself, but the parasite residing inside.

Once they lose a body to inhabit, the possessing ghost will vanish within twenty minutes. During this time, they fight desperately to obtain a new body, which is why even high-level psychics dislike encountering such ghosts.

Half of the black object detached, and two bloody black objects emerged from under the child's armpits with two "poof" sounds. Another one emerged from the neck, and two more emerged from the ruptured lower abdomen.
