Chapter 136
Ren Li suddenly said, “You’re thinking of killing me?”
From Ren Li’s memory, it knew that Lin Yi had managed to kill the 7-7 and 2-6 Monsters. But Ren Li hadn’t personally witnessed these feats. And so he sneered at this time, as if he feeling contempt for a participant who was overestimating one’s abilities.
Cheng Yang was extremely curious. He really wanted to know how Lin Yi could get the cursed letter into Ren Li’s locker when Ren Li could refuse to accept the package.
However, with Ren Li right there, Cheng Yang didn’t dare ask any more questions.
“Hold on a little longer.”
Lin Yi reminded Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang let out an ‘oh’ and continued to hold the door close, preventing the mailroom auntie from coming in.
Lin Yi walked to the table. There were some parcel boxes stacked under the table.
He bent down to pick up one while one hand opened the drawer find paper, pen and express delivery receipt.
The curse letter required two kinds of filth. One must contain the scent of the cursed person and the other was the blood/hair of a cat, both of which were now available in this mailroom.
Lin Yi saw what he was looking for inside the drawer.
As he was reaching out to take the things, Cheng Yang next to him howled, “Fuck, that was a strong pull. I’m not gonna be able to keep this up for much longer.”
Lin Yi hurriedly looked at him. Cheng Yang was holding the door tightly with both hands, leaning back and adding his own weight. “Lin Yi Xiong, hurry up.”
Lin Yi didn’t waste anymore time giving that a response. He took a pen and was about to write down on the paper, “It’s your turn to hide your life,” when his whole body suddenly stopped.
The paper he’d grabbed wasn’t completely blank. It was the back of a delivery receipt.
He saw the writing on the front.
Lin Yi suddenly turned the paper over. There was a signature on the delivery receipt, which looked to be the name of the mailroom auntie.
And the handwriting looked extremely familiar.
There were two lines in the curse letter.
‘It’s your turn to hide your life’ and ‘If you want to live, pass it on’.
From the beginning, Lin Yi already thought that these two lines couldn’t have been written by the same person. However, because the delivery note had been stained with blood, it likely caused the handwriting to be deformed, making these two lines appear to have been written using different handwritings.
But now, that didn’t appear to be the case.
The handwriting on this delivery receipt perfectly matched the line “If you want to live, pass it on”, proving that the curse letter was undeniably linked to the mailroom auntie.
Lin Yi stared at the name on the receipt.
The mailroom auntie’s surname was ‘Xu’. The words ‘it’s your turn to hide your life’ had the character ‘该’.
Both ‘Xu’ and ‘该’ used the radical ‘言’ but the way these two ‘言’ radicals were written didn’t match.
Now that he had characters that he could directly compare, the reason Lin Yi had thought of before, that the writing could have been deformed from being stained, was instantly invalidated.
‘It’s your turn to hide your life’ hadn’t been written by the mailroom auntie.
Someone else had written ‘It’s your turn to hide your life.’
In other words, someone else had written the curse letter.
What Cheng Yang said suddenly flashed in his mind: cats are actually very smart and can open and closed doors by themselves.
And there was that stone that broke the window last night.
Was ‘It’s your turn to hide your life’ written by a cat?
Lin Yi was shocked by this absurd conclusion.
“Meow–”
A cat’s meow resounded in the mailroom.
Without anyone noticing a black cat suddenly appeared in the mailroom. No one knows when it appeared or where it had come from. Now it was standing on the table. Lin Yi looked up and met the cat’s eyes…
It was a cat.

Rather than looking for food in the trash cans piled outside the restaurants in Baoxiang Town, it chose Baoxiang Secondary School.
Every time it stood on the wall of Baoxiang Secondary School, people who saw it would called out to it — “Mimi”. And they never threw stones at it. So after Mimi became pregnant, she chose this place because she thought it was safe and she could give birth safely. .
Mimi jumped in from the graffitied wall and the middle-aged woman saw it.
“Aiya, you scared me.”
As Mimi was licking her fur, the mailroom auntie exclaimed, “Ah, Mimi, you’re pregnant.”
Mimi got a home. In that old dormitory building, she lived in the mailroom that every dorm student had to pass by to get to the teaching building.
The students would call it, “Mimi” and would even give it treats from time to time.
When the warm sun was out, it would go around the campus and listen to the sound of students studying in the teaching building.
Life was good but sometimes Mimi gets scared.
It was a girl. The girl didn’t like it very much. She said cats bring poverty and that the color black represented bad luck.
Then it will lead to disapproval from others.
“It’s just a cat.”
The girl said, “Look, one day this cat will bring misfortune to the school.”
“How can a cat be so terrible? Don’t the teachers say that we should advocate science and abolish superstitions? Sun Jingwen, stop bringing your families matters to school.”
“Superstition?”
“Isn’t it superstition? Are you saying your grandma really cures diseases? Diseases that can’t be cured even with the most expensive of treatments? If your grandma can really cure them, that guy’s family wouldn’t have come barging into your house, demanding your grandma to pay them back with her life!”
“You guys are talking nonsense! He didn’t take the medicine according to my grandma’s prescription. He died and they blamed my grandma!”
“Your grandma told the patient to eat live earthworms and drink clay mixed with muddy water. Don’t think we don’t know. The whole town knows your grandma’s out to harm people!”
“My grandma wouldn’t!”
…
Then there was quarreling.
Mimi didn’t quite understand what they were arguing about, but she could feel the girl’s malice toward her.
So after that, Mimi rarely went to the teaching building. Also, she was about to give birth.
But then Mimi would still occasionally run across this girl and she could clearly feel the girl’s growing malice towards her.
Mimi started to protect herself and would hiss at the girl whenever she saw her. However, Mimi never thought of biting her. The cat just wanted to scare her and keep her away from it.
In the days leading up to the birth, the cat didn’t see the girl.
Mimi felt relieved and gave birth to five kittens in the middle of the night.
It showed the kitten to the mailroom auntie and the mailroom auntie was overjoyed. “Mimi is so awesome,” she praised.
After the kittens were born, the mailroom auntie prohibited the students from visiting it. “The kittens mustn’t smell like people else the mama cat might not recognize them.”
Mimi was grooming her kitten and she was feeling a little hungry. She wanted some of those dried fish the adorable students gave her.
It was long before Mimi got the dried fish she wanted.
The price though was that were she to be poisoned, the kittens would be poisoned too.
But it didn’t matter, Mimi knew that the students wouldn’t hurt her, let alone her kittens.
The kittens soon opened their eyes and began to waddle slowly.
Mimi wanted to repay the mailroom auntie and that person who gave her dried fish. She thought that of the many little mice stealing food from the restaurant trash cans.
Mimi went to catch mice.
It had been so long since it last hunted so this trip took a long time.
It went out during the day and came back at sunset.
When she returned to the mailroom, she didn’t see the mailroom auntie but she caught whiff of a scent that made her uneasy. It was that girl.
Mimi ran quickly to her nest.
One kitten was missing.
Mimi anxiously waited for the mailroom auntie to come back but then she saw the food in her bowl.
Every time the mailroom auntie goes home on vacation or has something to do, she would fill the cat’s bowl with food and water. Therefore, the bowl filled with food was a sign that the mailroom auntie would be gone for at least two days.
Mimi had no choice but to look for the missing kitten on her own.
Following the scent, it anxiously jumped up the wall and went to the teaching building, where it hadn’t been for a long time.
There was a classroom here that was filled with the scent of that girl and her kitten.
Mimi heard the kitten’s weak cry.
It quickly jumped in and saw the arrogant girl and the frightened person sitting on the ground.
The girl said, “Within ten days, your flesh will be cut away. This is the power of the cat curse.”
Mimi rushed forward. The girl was startled but Mimi reacted quickly and grabbed the back of its kitten’s neck, stopping its movements.
It couldn’t save its kitten. It was just a cat that had trouble catching mice.
It could only hold the kitten’s neck in its mouth, distressed and sad, the taste of blood in its mouth.
As it walked, blood dripped along the entire way.
When it returned to the mailroom, the kitten had stopped moving.
No matter how hard it licked it, the kitten wouldn’t move.
Before Mimi could confirm even confirm that kitten was dead, she smelled the girl’s scent again.
It was very dangerous here and the mailroom auntie wasn’t here either.
Mimi looked at the closet, where she had hidden all her kittens.
There was a rat in the dormitory.
Someone was afraid and came to open the mailroom door.
“Mimi, can you help us catch the mouse?:
Mimi heard a “squeaking” sound. It was the mouse she’d brought back from outside.
It hesitated. It didn’t dare leave its kittens. But it could feel the student’s fear and it was it’s own fault. It had been the one to bring in the mouse.
In the end, Mimi went to catch the mouse.
It had to get better hunting, otherwise, the consequences would be like today.
It successfully caught the mouse. The student prepared a lot of dried fish for it, but unfortunately it had no appetite now.
It couldn’t hear its kittens so it had to go back quickly to see what was going on.
Mimi stared at her nest. She couldn’t count but she knew that her kittens were gone, so…
And after she had hidden all her kittens.
But they were still gone and that girl’s scent filled its nose once again.
But this time, Mimi didn’t go looks for her kittens immediately.
It stayed in the mailroom and finally, the mailroom auntie came back. It lay down at the feet of the mailroom auntie, acting coquettishly for one last time, before resolutely leaving.
In the end, its final destination was the same as that of its kittens, in the trash can.
When the mailroom auntie found it, she cried as she said, “May you be reincarnated as a human in your next life.”
It was strange but as Mimi breathed her last, she understood what the mailroom auntie said.
However, it thought, if possible, it would trade the opportunity to be reincarnated as a human for a chance at revenge.
Like maybe, if their roles were reversed, if it was now the other person’s turn to hide her life.
……
“Meow–”
The black cat cried out sadly.
Lin Yi came back to his senses and fear at what might have been flooded his heart.
Fortunately, he hadn’t gone for the Replay. Had they done a Replay, Ren Li wouldn’t need to kill them before they relayed the main plot. Anyone assuming normal logic, would ever think that “It’s your turn to hide your life” had been written by the black cat.
The true pigeon releases was the black cat.
In many cases, the lives of pets couldn’t be compared to human life, so “pass it on if you want to live” was the last protection of the human mailroom auntie could provide for the students against the cat turned Monster.
Lin Yi quickly wrote the curse letter. He took the piece of paper and rubbed it on the kitten’s body and then on Ren Li’s body.
Ren Li did not resist. He could refuse the delivery so he wasn’t afraid of Lin Yi passing the curse letter to him.
After obtaining the two kinds of filth, Lin Yi put the curse letter in the box, filled out the express delivery form and said to Cheng Yang, “Cheng Yang Xiong, you can get out of the way.”
Cheng Yang had exhausted all his strength and immediately relaxed after hearing this. As soon as he relaxed, Cheng Yang pulled outside by the mailroom aunt who opened the door.
The mailroom auntie stormed in angrily, Lin Yi handed the box to the her together with the express delivery note.
“Auntie, here’s a package for delivery,” Lin Yi said.
The mailroom auntie looked at him and then at the scene in the mailroom.
The black cat was still there and so were the kittens.
Lin Yi bowed to the mailroom auntie. “Thank you.”
Before mailroom auntie could say anything else, Lin Yi dragged Cheng Yang to leave with him.
They then went to Room 204. Once inside, Lin Yi locked the door and window.
It was still daytime and violations for the Rules of Death will only be implemented at night.
In other words, they have to wait until night before they can leave.
Now that Ren Li wasn’t with them, Cheng Yang could finally ask, “Lin Yi Xiong, please tell me. What’s your plan?”
Lin Yi still used the curse letter Rule of Death to kill the 8-4 Monster.
But Ren Li had a way to refuse the package and they didn’t know exactly what that was so they couldn’t come up with a way to counter it.
“No,” Lin Yi shook his head and said, “It’s actually very simple.”
“I put in Ren Li’s dorm room for both sender’s address and receiver’s address. I also wrote Ren Li as the sender and the receiver.”
Cheng Yang was stunned for a moment.
When the package is rejected by the recipient, it will be returned to the sender.
So even if Ren Li refuses to accept it, he won’t be able to refuse since it will simply return to him.
So mailroom auntie will still put the package into Ren Li’s locker.
Translator’s note: It was so hard getting through this chapter because I kept pummeling Sun Jingwen in my mind. “Ten days? I won’t need ten days to beat you up!” If I were her classmate, I would have slammed her face against the floor. I would have been so mad at seeing her kill the kitten that it might not have even occurred to me to be scared. It would be so bad, the police would have to be called. I’d be held in jail but she’d be in the hospital where she wouldn’t be able to hurt any other kittens. By the end of the day, I’d be expelled but the entire school would know what she did.
Oh my heart hurts for mimi 🙁
Poor Mimi! I have cats and this whole arc has made me ache for them. I agree, I’d be there with you dealing with this trash girl!
humans are really the worst sometimes
Mimi😭
What a bish !!! Hurting little kittens.. 😬
Sadly a lot of cats don’t have it easy especially black cats because there’s a lot of superstition surrounding them, it’s very hard for them to get adopted. Some shelters have to refuse the adoption of cats, black cats in particular especially on Halloween because they fear the cruel things people will do to them for reasons I can’t fathom. Poor Mimi she didn’t deserve any of this and I’d also like give that girl a piece of my mind.
Hospital? She’d be 12 feet under by the time I’m done with her, and I’d figure out how to resurrect so I can keep killing that thing (Sun Jingwen)
I don’t give a single flying fuck about any of her dumbass superstitions. If she’s willing to kill helpless animals at will, she has to go.
+1 She is NOT going to die an easy death
OH POOR MIMI!!!! God she really deserved so much better…..
