Reborn as a girl and school beauty

The next day

The two packed up their things and called to arrange all matters at the Guzi store. Now they set off for Kawato. It would take about three hours to get to the high-speed rail station.

"The last time I went there was an accident. This time I must have a good time there." Chen Lian said, looking out the window

"Of course, this is the largest province in the country. It's as big as two provinces combined. It's also the most populous province in the country. Its central square is as big as a city. It's also our capital." Yang Lingxin introduced.

The high-speed train slowly started moving. Chen Lian leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest. Yang Lingxin took out a travel guide and studied it carefully.

"Lingxin, look here, there is a very mysterious ancient street in Chuandu. It is said that there will be a strange light show at night, and there will also be many long-lost traditional crafts on display." After hearing this, Chen Lian opened his eyes and leaned over to take a look.

Three hours later...

After arriving in Kawato, they checked into their hotel. As they dropped off their luggage, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. Curious, they ran to the window to see a grand folk parade.

"Wow, we came at the right time." Chen Lian said excitedly.

They immediately ran downstairs to join the crowd. The parade featured dragon and lion dances, and the dazzling array of colorful costumes was a sight to behold. Yang Lingxin spotted a roadside snack stall and dragged Chen Lian over to try some. As they savored the delicious snacks and soaked in the rich local flavor, they smiled at each other, excited for their upcoming adventure in Sichuan.

The two of them strolled along the parade route and unknowingly came to an old but charming alleyway. The alley was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the walls were covered with green vines.

"It's so beautiful here," Chen Lian couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, a kitten darted out from a corner, stopped in front of them, and meowed. Yang Lingxin squatted down to play with the kitten and noticed that it had a delicate little sign around its neck, engraved with strange symbols.

Just as they were wondering, an old man slowly approached. "Little girl, this cat belongs to me. Are you interested in this sign?" the old man asked with a smile. The two nodded. He then recounted the ancient legend behind the sign and the secrets of the underground labyrinth in the area. Legend has it that the labyrinth holds endless treasures, but also unknown dangers.

Chen Lian and Yang Lingxin exchanged a glance, their curiosity surging. They asked the old man for instructions on how to enter the maze. Seeing their fearless eyes, the old man hesitated for a moment before offering a hint. They were looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

"Although it sounds a bit fake, I kind of want to go. But let's not go. Besides, I'm having a lot of fun tonight." Chen Lian said

"You are so timid, how could I take you there? I will take you to the museum tomorrow." Yang Lingxin said with a smile

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room. Yang Lingxin got up early and packed everything. She woke up the still drowsy Chen Lian, and the two of them headed for the museum.

The museum displayed a variety of ancient artifacts. Yang Lingxin excitedly wandered through them, while Chen Lian leisurely admired them. There were many unique antiques, and even things she had never seen before. Suddenly, Yang Lingxin stopped in front of a display case. Inside was a fragment with a symbol similar to the one on the kitten's neck the previous day. A nearby sign mentioned that the symbol was related to a mysterious local monument.

Chen He turned to look at Yang Lingxin, his eyes shining: "Maybe this is related to the underground maze?" Yang Lingxin smiled helplessly: "You haven't forgotten about it." Although she said this, a hint of curiosity arose in her heart.

The two read the introduction of each item in the museum. They found that the items came from different ancient tombs and dynasties. Some of them had a history of thousands of years and some were antiques that were still intact.

After leaving the museum, Chen Lian kept talking about the symbol and the underground maze. Yang Lingxin couldn't persuade her and decided to go find the old man to ask for clarification.

When they found the old man, he was slightly surprised to see the paper with the broken symbol in their hands. Then he sighed and told them that the symbol did point to the entrance of the underground maze, but it was full of dangers. Most people who had entered it never returned, and several murders had been discovered there. Later, it was strictly sealed off by the police and no one had ever gone there since.

In the end, the two gave up the idea. After all, if they forced their way in, they would be detained if they were discovered, and it would be a lifelong stain.

After returning to the hotel in the evening...

Yang Lingxin investigated the matter and found out that it was not a maze, but an air-raid shelter left over from the war in the 1990s. A murderer discovered the place and dumped the bodies of the people he killed there. Later, it was discovered by several adventurers, and they all died there.

Moreover, after being sentenced for murder, he injured the warden several times in prison. In the end, he was sentenced to death ahead of schedule, and this happened 20 years ago.

There is also a bloody black-and-white photo below. Although I don’t know where this photo came from, it is very old-fashioned. After being blocked by the police, many children were disobedient, and the adults would tell the children that story.

Chen Lian leaned over and saw the bloody black and white photo, and couldn't help but shudder. "This is too horrible. It's a good thing we didn't go there."

Yang Lingxin nodded, "Yes, it's better to stay away from such dangerous places."

Chen Lian said, "Okay, okay, it happened so many years ago, and few people know about it now. Let's go to the aquarium tomorrow. I want to touch a dolphin."

Yang Lingxin said: "Okay, I also want to touch the dolphins, okay, I'll buy the ticket right away."

Chen Lian: "Okay, okay, I'll go to bed after I buy the ticket."

The next day

After washing up and packing their things, they ate breakfast and headed to the aquarium. They looked at the subway and saw that there were eight lines. Chen Lian was dazzled and said in surprise, "There are so many lines. Which one should we take?"

Yang Lingxin stood in front of the map and looked at it for about 20 minutes. Finally, she understood it and said, "We are taking Line 3 now, then transfer to Line 6, ride about four stations on Line 6, transfer to Line 7, ride another seven stations, and then transfer to Line 7, ride only two stations."

Chen Lian's mouth twitched and she said, "If it doesn't work out, let's take a taxi."

Yang Lingxin said, "If we take a taxi, 16 kilometers for the two of us would cost over 100 yuan. If we take the subway, it would take about an hour and a half, and the total cost would only be around ten yuan. Isn't this more cost-effective?"

Chen Lian finally nodded.
