Chapter 717: Chapter 43 The Black Panther in the Toilet

The tall girl, pinned to the ground, still had a smile lingering on her lips.

But soon that smile turned into horror, and she screamed, "Quick, get that cat away!!!"

However, by that time her five companions were also scared stupid, one girl stammered, "This... how did this cat get so big?"

"That’s no damn cat, this is clearly a black panther!" a boy with some knowledge of zoology trembled out, then he turned his head and ran, not caring about the tall girl still lying on the ground.

This boy pulled out a sprint like in a hundred-meter dash, but compared to the black panther, he was still too slow. After only two steps, the faster-acting black panther slapped him into a stall.

The remaining four had also wanted to run, but seeing what happened, they stopped in their tracks.

Despair then spread across their faces.

One girl, terrified out of her wits, rolled her eyes back and fainted on the spot.

As for the tall girl, she had managed to scramble up from the ground, but before she could fully stand, the black panther leapt in front of her once more.

Opening its mouth towards her, it revealed two rows of sharp teeth, a foul stench washing over the girl’s face, spraying her so completely that she started to cry and babble incoherently.

"Don’t, don’t eat me, go eat someone else, I, I don’t taste good."

Yet the black panther seemed as if it hadn’t heard her at all, instead leaning its head further forward.

Its sharp teeth already pressed against the tall girl’s neck, causing her blood to freeze, and then feeling her legs go cold, she wet herself right there.

The other five weren’t faring any better. The one slapped into the stall just lay there in the toilet, pretending to be dead, not minding the dirtiness at all.

The black panther had its mouth around the tall girl’s neck for about ten seconds.

For the tall girl, it was the longest ten seconds of her life, her mind filled with countless thoughts, even recalling her entire life from kindergarten to that moment.

In the end, crying, she pleaded, "I’m sorry, I’ll be a good person from now on, do good deeds, save money to buy you meat."

This time, it seemed the black panther understood the tall girl’s words, and it actually let go of her neck.

Then it turned its gaze to the others, aside from the one who had fainted and the one still playing dead, the rest, following by example, knelt to the ground with a thump.

"We, we’ll also buy you meat, we don’t have much meat ourselves, not tasty."

The black panther turned its gaze toward An Yixin, who, unlike the others, showed no fear on her face, but rather a thinly veiled excitement.

Seeing the black panther look at her, she did not back away, but instead took two steps forward, coming face-to-face with the black panther.

Then she reached out a hand to touch the black panther’s head.

To the tall girl and the others, this act was equivalent to suicide.

Yet, in the next moment, a miracle occurred. The black panther did not attack An Yixin; instead, it bowed its head, allowing her to touch it.

But only once; then it leapt up and jumped out of the small window behind An Yixin.

Li Yu was not particularly fond of being touched on the head, especially by someone younger, but to put on a full show and confirm the relationship between the black panther and An Yixin, he relented and let An Yixin touch him briefly.

After jumping out the women’s restroom window, Li Yu immediately transformed back into a swallow and flew outside An Yixin’s classroom.

At this point, there were not many people left in the classroom as most of the students had gone for lunch.

Zhang Jingyi was still there, chatting and laughing with a couple of girls.

Li Yu paid special attention to the position of the camera at the entrance, confirming it couldn’t capture this area, before he flew in through the window.

No sooner did he appear than he caught the attention of the students in the classroom. Without beating around the bush, Li Yu headed straight for Zhang Jingyi.

Upon landing, he transformed into a black bear, tore her exercise book to shreds, and then let out a low growl at the stunned Zhang Jingyi, overturning her desk as well.

The few remaining students screamed and fled the classroom.

Li Yu planned to wrap it up as well; this was the first time he had applied his mastery of the Transformation Technique to real combat.

Although his opponents were just a few kids, Li Yu hadn’t held back much.

It couldn’t be helped; after all, you’ve got to go all out in a battle.

Pride and complacency were no good, but this time it seemed he took things too seriously, having a bit too much fun – it was time to pull back.

Yet, before leaving, Li Yu still stuck out a leg and kicked Zhang Jingyi’s stool, causing her to fall on her buttocks, then he transformed back into a swallow and made his way back the same route.

This time, Li Yu flew directly out of the school, to a room he had previously booked at a hotel nearby.

After getting dressed again, he went downstairs to check out and returned to his job.

Meanwhile, the school was thrown into chaos. After Li Yu left the restroom, a group of tall girls also ran out immediately, rushing to the security office, shouting that a Black Panther had gotten into the school.

The security guards hadn’t figured out what was happening yet when Zhang Jingyi arrived with something more outrageous: she claimed a black bear had appeared in the classroom.

However, when the guards pulled up the surveillance footage, they saw nothing, and after walking around the scene of the incident with them, they didn’t find any of the fierce beasts the students spoke of.

The guards suspected the children were simply playing a prank, having fun at their expense.

So they went to find the head of the security department, a balding middle-aged man with a small belly, whom the students all called Mr. Wu.

After listening to the various accounts of their encounters from the victimized students, Mr. Wu also found the story absurd.

But as someone who had seen his share of troubles as a leader, he remained impassive and noticed that these students from different grades and classrooms all mentioned one person.

— An Yixin.

Clearly, An Yixin was a key figure, so Mr. Wu called for An Yixin to come over as well.

He asked, "Is what they’re saying true?"

An Yixin blinked, "Black Panther, what Black Panther, and black bears? Shouldn’t these animals be in the zoo? How could they appear on campus."

Mr. Wu nodded, feeling that An Yixin’s words made sense.

Still, he said, "But those students are adamant they really saw a panther and a black bear just now. And a few of them got hurt by that Black Panther... in that restroom."

"Could it be a hallucination?"

"Would so many people have a hallucination at once?" Mr. Wu stroked his chin.

"We can review the surveillance footage; that should reveal the truth," suggested An Yixin again.

At this moment, however, Zhang Jingyi suddenly spoke up, "No need to check. We admit it, we lied. There was no panther or black bear."

Mr. Wu exclaimed, showing a face that said he knew it would turn out this way, "You young people... tsk tsk."

As he spoke, Mr. Wu shook his head, "There are other ways to seek thrills. Each of you write a reflection paper, at least a thousand words, and make me believe you realize your mistake. Hand them in to me before school ends."
