Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Lily, Is That You?
The sound of the footsteps gradually approached Lily.
Although she did not know what was going on, out of instinct, she chose to walk away from the sound of the footsteps.
However, when she walked away, her body froze again.
Thud!
Her light step made a loud sound once again.
And after the sound of her actual footsteps, the footsteps that seemed to be chasing after her started to speed up a little.
Behind her, there seemed to be a wild beast hiding in the dark that was chasing after her.
Under this huge pressure, Lily did not hesitate at all.
She immediately took off the high heels on her feet and decided to run barefoot.
However, she had only taken a few steps when her heart grew more and more panicked.

Thud, thud, thud!
Lily, who had taken off her shoes and socks, stepped on the wooden floor of the library with her bare feet. Surprisingly, there were still echoing footsteps.
This was no longer something that could be regarded as a simple ‘something’s not right’.
There was clearly a ghost!
“Shit!” Lily cursed in a low voice. Carrying her high heels and notebook, she ran forward.
The footsteps behind her became more and more hurried.
She did not have time to worry about that.
Lily had an inexplicable but very strong premonition in her heart—if these footsteps caught up to her, she would die!

Tap, tap, tap…
Tap, tap, tap, tap…
The footsteps echoed in the empty library along with Lily’s heavy breathing.
At this time, Lily had already tossed her high heels and notebook and was walking barefoot in the library.
Her tears were all over her face, but she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
Her dry throat was hurting, but now, she could not care less for she had discovered a terrible truth.
She could not escape!

Lily had been moving between the bookshelves in the library, but she could never find the exit.
About five minutes ago, she had already walked to the end of the path between the bookshelves.

The end of the path was the same as usual, a wall made up of bookshelves and books.
However, when Lily walked along the wall of bookshelves, she could not seem to reach the end of the path.
No matter how far she walked, no matter where she turned, she just could not seem to leave the area.
[Fear points: +50.]
The sound of the footsteps behind her made her extremely terrified and flustered.
Not to mention, this library that she could not seem to leave made her feel extremely desperate and helpless.
Finally, Lily sat on the ground dejectedly, allowing the footsteps to approach her from behind.
Originally, the desire to survive gave her the energy to continue running forward.
However, she could not escape no matter how hard she tried.

She had no more energy left.
The footsteps behind her kept approaching, and Lily finally stopped hiding. She broke down and began to wail in despair.
At this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from in front of her, not too far away from where Lily was.
“Lily, is that you?”
The owner of this voice was Lily’s roommate—the brown-haired girl!
The voice that used to make her feel annoyed and disgusted was now as pleasant as an angel to her.
When Lily heard the voice, her body surged with strength again.
She ran forward as if her life depended on it. There were still loud footsteps on the ground.
At this moment, she could not care less!

However, after running for a few meters, Lily did not see her roommate.
‘Perhaps she’s looking for me somewhere else?’ Lily subconsciously thought.
At this moment, her roommate’s voice came from the right again, “Lily, is that you?”

Hearing that, Lily quickly turned her head and raced to her right in ecstasy.
Although her roommate was also a weak woman, her existence at this moment gave Lily great power.
There was a big difference between one person and two people.
Thud, thud, thud.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud…
The two kinds of footsteps still echoed in the library.

The difference this time was that Lily was no longer like the headless chicken that was wandering around aimlessly.
This time, Lily was chasing after her roommate’s voice with a purpose.
However, after running for a long time, Lily still could not catch up with her roommate.
The stamina that she had been exhausting was depleting.
Just when Lily was about to stop walking, she finally heard the voice nearby.
“Lily, is that you?”
The voice was very close, very close.
Lily suddenly caught sight of a figure in front of her!
It could not be mistaken, it was indeed her roommate.

As expected, she had come to look for her!
Meeting a companion in such an empty and depressing environment could relieve a lot of psychological pressure.
Sure enough, Lily once again poured out all her strength and rushed toward the figure in front of her.
This time, the figure just stood there. It did not move elsewhere to look for her.
Lily could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the figure was getting closer and closer to her, Lily’s mood grew more and more excited.
Moreover, the footsteps behind her seemed to have slowed down!
At the last second before reaching the figure, Lily finally said with a trembling voice, “I’m safe, I’m finally safe!”
However, the figure in front of her, who was so close to her, repeated unwaveringly, “Lily, is that you?”

At this moment, Lily’s hand that was reaching for the figure froze mid-air.
“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?”
These words were uttered emotionlessly from the figure’s mouth.
Just like that, it kept repeating.
Lily finally realized.
Every ‘Lily’ she heard earlier seemed to come from the same mold.
Whether it was the speed of speech or the tone of voice, they seemed to be the same.

It was just that under the panic of being chased, she did not notice it.
“Lily, is that you?” the figure asked again.
This time, Lily’s entire body turned cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
There was no mistake. She was sure of it.
Every time it spoke, it sounded the same.
That figure was not her roommate!
Just as Lily covered her mouth and began to retreat, the figure suddenly took a step forward.
Thud!
Lily’s body trembled.

Were those footsteps not her own?
No, that was not right.
Those were not her own footsteps.
Those were the footsteps of someone chasing her!
Thud, thud!
The figure took two more steps forward and slowly approached Lily.
“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?”
This time, Lily’s face turned white.

She retreated in panic, trying to escape from the figure in front of her.
However, at this moment, echoes came from all directions of the library at the same time.
“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?”
Lily retreated to an intersection made of bookshelves and stopped moving.
It was not that she did not want to move, she just did not know where to go because at the end of every intersection, there was an identical figure approaching her.
Tap, tap, tap…
Tap, tap, tap…

“Lily, is that you?
“Lily, is that you?”
Looking at the black shadows approaching her from all directions, Lily finally broke down.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”

8 83So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
