Lu Yao opened her eyes and found herself standing in an unfamiliar place. From a distance, she could still see the yellow color in the sky fading slowly, which meant it was already dawn.

I’m sure as hell that I died in that car accident. Then where am I now? Don’t tell me I’ve transmigrated, thought the girl as she began looking around.

“What are you doing standing there? It’s dangerous at this time to be outside. Let’s hurry to the school ground,” said a pale-looking man.

“Uh… okay,” Lu Yao replied and started to follow him.

Who is this man again? It seems like I have no memories of the previous owner of this body, and I have no idea where I am.

The man walked in a hurry, while Lu Yao walked normally, still thinking. This made the pale-looking man turn his head and glare at her.

“Little girl, why are you walking so slowly? And you know it’s already dawn. Didn’t your parents ever tell you there are monsters at dawn?” he said angrily.

What is this ghost-faced man trying to scare me with? Does he think I’m a baby? Monsters? Huh, what a joke, Lu Yao thought as she looked back at him.

“Who are you trying to scare? Do I look like a two-year-old girl? Let me tell you, this aunt is not scared of monsters. Let those monsters come, and I’ll thrash them to hell with my bare hands,” Lu Yao said with a smirk.

“Ahh, so you’re not scared? You’re quite courageous for a first-year student,” the white-faced man asked.

“Not at all. This aunt isn’t scared,” she replied confidently.

How can I be scared of such imaginary things used to frighten children? You’ll need to try harder than that, she thought.

The pale man looked astonished. In his entire ghost life, he had never met a first-year student who wasn’t afraid of monsters.

Most students who registered in the sect arrived before dawn and locked themselves inside their dormitories until sunrise because they were too afraid. No first-year student ever dared to stay outside after dawn.

Where did this young girl get such courage? Wasn’t she the one saying we should hurry because she was afraid of being eaten? What’s wrong with her now?

Before Lu Yao could think further, she heard a loud, inhuman roar behind her. She slowly turned around.

At a distance of about 80 to 90 meters stood a tall beast-like creature.

The monster was terrifying—its skin looked peeled, its nails were long like claws, it had sharp fangs, dark eyes without whites, and long ears.

“F*ck… what is that thing? It’s so creepy!” Lu Yao said in fear, turning to the pale-faced man.

“Oh, that’s the monster I told you about. And here I thought you said you would thrash them to hell,” he replied expressionlessly.

“No way! I’m not ready to die! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that the monsters are this real and this scary?” she shouted, remembering the pain of her previous death.

“Because I thought you were strong enough to kill them. Run, stupid girl!” he said, suddenly sprinting toward a large house in the distance.

“Run toward the house! As long as you enter it, you’ll be safe!” he shouted.

“What? Where are you going?” Lu Yao asked, staring at him as if he were insane.

“It’s my time to go and rest,” he said calmly.

Rest? What does he mean? Is he able to leave without worrying? she thought while continuing to run.

“Then take me with you!” she called out in panic.

“I can’t. Goodbye,” he replied.

“What? What do you mea—”

Before she could finish, the white-faced man disappeared into thin air, leaving her alone.

Is that man a ghost or what? Damn it, which world did I transmigrate into?

Lu Yao kept running.

Her limbs felt weak, and she was exhausted, but she dared not stop.

If I stop now, I’ll become that monster’s dinner.

The monster was also running toward her at high speed.

She cursed her fate while running.

If only I had the previous owner’s memories, I would have known how serious the situation was. If I had reincarnated a few hours earlier, I would never have entered this hell. I would have run as far away from this sect as possible.

Why didn’t I listen to that pale-faced man? If I had moved faster earlier, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

I can’t die again. I just awakened from death a few minutes ago. I must survive.

The white-faced man said that if I enter the house ahead, I’ll be safe. So I must get there as fast as possible.
