Chapter 8

"Is this a joke? Is it true that if you walk at night often enough, you'll eventually meet a ghost? But the problem is, this is the first time I've walked at night after transforming."

Liu Yingzi looked at the approaching thugs with a conflicted expression, feeling increasingly afraid.

Before she had crossed over, Liu Yingzi was just an ordinary office worker. If being a shut-in was a specialty, then she was just a shut-in office worker. Facing thugs with ill intentions, she naturally felt afraid, especially since she had now transformed into a girl.

Liu Yingzi subconsciously reached into her bag, where she had drawn two transformation pictures of two-dimensional girls. Facing these four thugs, she could only deal with them by transforming into a two-dimensional girl.

Soon, Liu Yingzi felt the transformation pictures, and her heart steadied. She immediately stopped without showing any signs, and the four thugs, seeing this, smiled even more wickedly.

Glancing at the "dead man," Liu Yingzi pretended to be afraid and said, "W-What do you want?"

The leader, a yellow-haired thug, laughed and said, "Little beauty, where are you going so late? Why don't you play with us?"

"This... This isn't right..." Liu Yingzi continued to act, and with the transformation pictures in hand, she felt playful, preparing to toy with these thugs.

Liu Yingzi's act of fear was too fake, but the dim light made it hard for the thugs to see clearly. They thought she was genuinely afraid, so they became even more confident.

The yellow-haired thug laughed even more despicably, "Beauty, don't be like that. Playing with us can be a lot of fun. We can do some really enjoyable things. Do you want to try?"

"You, you don't do this, I, I can call for help!"

The yellow-haired thug sneered, "Hehe, I advise you to be honest. There are rarely people around here. Even if you shout until your throat is sore, it won't do any good."

"Throat sore! Throat sore!"

"..."

Suddenly, the four thugs were speechless. Liu Yingzi was really shouting until her throat was sore. Was this girl really scared out of her wits or just plain stupid?

"Little beauty, you..."

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the yellow-haired thug could finish his sentence, a series of striking sounds suddenly rang out. With the rhythm of the strikes, the four thugs were thrown one after another, finally crashing into the corner and piling up, looking quite ridiculous.

The sudden turn of events not only made the four thugs who were hit unconscious, but also stunned Liu Yingzi.

Don't misunderstand, the four thugs weren't thrown by Liu Yingzi. She hadn't transformed yet and didn't have such brutal abilities. The one who actually acted was a stranger who had silently approached Liu Yingzi.

Liu Yingzi instinctively turned her head and saw a young man wearing black casual clothes and blue jeans. He was about 1.75 meters tall, around 17 or 18 years old, with a fairly average appearance that wouldn't attract much attention on the street.

But to Liu Yingzi, this person's appearance gave her a feeling of seeing a ghost, because this person's face was exactly the same as her previous self!

No, not exactly the same. To be precise, the young man in front of her looked like her when she was in high school, but back then, she was just an ordinary high school student with a bit of a silly side, while the young man in front of her had a cold expression, with eyes that seemed devoid of emotion.

After throwing the four thugs, this person didn't even look at Liu Yingzi, just put his hands in his pockets and continued walking at a steady pace, looking incredibly cool and arrogant.

Liu Yingzi watched the young man's departing back and felt a surge of impulse, asking, "You... are you called Yang Fengyun?"

The young man immediately stopped, and Liu Yingzi's heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had guessed right.

Before Liu Yingzi could react, the young man suddenly appeared in front of her, only half a meter away, looking down at her with a cold and dangerous gaze.

The icy and dangerous eyes made her tremble, but she couldn't move, as if being stared at by a fierce beast, completely losing control of her body.

"Why do you know my name?"

A cold and deep voice sounded, a voice that Liu Yingzi found very familiar because she used to speak in this tone when she was being silly or arrogant. She really missed the sound of her male voice.

Uh, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about these things.

A cold sweat trickled down Liu Yingzi's forehead, and she inwardly admired her own imagination. But the fact that the person was really called Yang Fengyun made her very surprised, and she quickly guessed his identity.

This person was her from a parallel universe!

If there was a parallel universe version of herself, then her parents might also exist in this world?

Liu Yingzi's thoughts became lively, and the parallel universe's Yang Fengyun, seeing that Liu Yingzi wasn't speaking, narrowed his cold eyes and said in an even colder voice, "Speak, why do you know my name?"

The bone-chilling voice brought Liu Yingzi back to her senses. Perhaps because she knew he was another version of herself, she wasn't afraid and smiled slightly, "Well, I've seen you before, but you don't know me."

Hearing this, Yang Fengyun's cold expression eased slightly, but he was also surprised by Liu Yingzi's calm reaction. He knew his presence was intimidating, yet this girl wasn't affected. Could she be more than just an ordinary person?

No, this girl was clearly afraid just now, and that fear wasn't fake. How could she be so calm now?

Yang Fengyun couldn't figure it out and didn't believe Liu Yingzi's explanation, but he didn't say much. He had a mission and didn't have time to waste on a little girl. He was about to leave.

But before he had taken a few steps, Yang Fengyun sensed something and disappeared like a ghost in front of Liu Yingzi, startling her. The next moment, a scream came from a nearby corner, and Yang Fengyun was already there.

Liu Yingzi was shocked. Yang Fengyun was at least twenty meters away from the corner, yet he reached there in less than two seconds. This speed was beyond comprehension.

"This guy must be a superhuman or a mage!"

Liu Yingzi almost immediately thought of this possibility. In another world, such speed could only be achieved by a genetically mutated person, but in this world, it wasn't impossible, as mages and superhumans were like superheroes to ordinary people.

There were many videos online about superhumans and mages, and Liu Yingzi had watched quite a few. Many of them displayed abilities far beyond what ordinary people could achieve, as if they had special powers.

However, looking at the cold side profile, Liu Yingzi couldn't help but loudly complain in her heart, "This version of me is so powerful, it's not scientific! Since we are the same person, why was I just an ordinary office worker in my previous life? Damn it, God, are you messing with me!"
