“Excuse me, is this Miss Blue Yi?”
Lu Yibei stared at his phone screen, feeling a jolt of surprise.
Who could it be? Who would have my contact information?
His phone number was very special. In his memory, only Jiang Li, Ju Meng, Bai Kai, Professor Ma... Oh, and Uncle Zhang Shan knew it. Only close people knew this contact method, but they couldn't possibly know about Blue Yi's existence.
Jiang Li had just sent a message, and Ju Meng and Shui Ge both had self-preservation abilities...
Could it be Professor Ma or Uncle Zhang Shan?
Damn it, did they run into some trouble?
No, no! If someone or a urban legend captured one of them, got the contact information from them, and then sent a message at the sensitive time when the video was about to be released, wanting to achieve some ulterior motive, they shouldn't use the identity of Blue Yi.
If they wanted to make a deal or threaten, wouldn't "Disaster," who was already being watched by major Psychic organizations, be much more valuable than "Blue Yi"?
As Lu Yibei thought, his fingertips lightly touched the screen, typing out a message in reply.
“My friend, since you know me as Blue Yi, you should be very clear that, given my personality, I despise those who hide their true faces. If you have something to say, why not speak frankly?”
Although he couldn't rule out that someone or a urban legend had noticed the subtle connection between Blue Yi, his last remaining alias, and "Lu Yibei," at the sensitive moment when that video was about to be released, Lu Yibei still decided to bite the bullet and continue to use the Blue Yi alias.
“...”
At this time, he absolutely couldn't be affected by any external factors.
As long as that video was successfully released, those who watched it, affected by cognitive interference, would surely believe that Disaster had died...
At worst, he would just stop using the Blue Yi alias from now on! Lu Yibei thought.
Just as she was pondering, her phone vibrated again, receiving a new message.
“I just want to ask for your help, it concerns the Eclipse Society Elder Council... I know the Lan Yi Party has always had a grudge with the Elder Council. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe you would be very happy to see the Eclipse Society Elder Council suffer, wouldn't you?”
After reading the new message, Lu Yibei was even more confused.
The other party was actually discussing with him about joining forces against the Eclipse Society Elder Council, seemingly really treating him as Blue Yi.
“What kind of help? Tell me about it? If it’s just small-time mischief, I’m not interested in messing around with you.”
Lu Yibei replied to the other party again. Just as the words "Delivered" appeared on the phone screen, footsteps came from the direction of the Lan Yue Cave entrance.
It was Zhang Huainan returning. Without thinking much, he subconsciously put away his phone.
Back inside the Lan Yue Cave, Zhang Huainan smiled kindly at Lu Yibei, who was waiting on the meditation cushion. “It’s settled. They’ll help you prepare a new identity. Don’t worry, but from now on, you must try to avoid using the power of urban legend in front of people, to avoid exposure.”
“Can that video be released now?”
“Yes, thank you, Senior.” Lu Yibei nodded. “I’ll trouble you with the video.”
The old man only said to try not to use it in front of people...
In other words, it could be used in desperate situations, and it could also be used in secret. Is that understanding correct?
Right! In fact, as long as all eyewitnesses are dealt with, it shouldn't count as using it in front of people, right?
Thinking this way, it wasn't really that much of a restriction! Lu Yibei thought to herself.

“Calamitys Death” Countdown: 1h26m36s
Si Ye Hui Headquarters, in Nameless Book's office.
Nameless Book sat solemnly in her seat. Across the desk, three secretaries, including Wu Yuhui, sat directly opposite her.
“We just received confirmed news that Guardian Black Emperor has personally taken action and successfully hunted the urban legend Disaster, and I have recorded the final scene of the successful hunt.” Nameless Book said calmly, “Everyone, according to the previously drafted procedure, prepare to contact the leaders of the major Psychic organizations!”
“Also, Wu Yuhui...”
“Uh, here, I’m here!” Wu Yuhui raised a hand.
Nameless Book nodded slightly, “Prepare. Once they finish contacting the leaders of the major Psychic organizations, you can publish the announcement of the successful hunt of Disaster on the intranet. Please write the content of the announcement. Two hours should be enough, right?”
Wu Yuhui, “...”
She wanted to say it wasn't enough. The announcement involved the Night Watch's strongest Guardian and a Calamity level urban legend. There was no room for error in the details. To deliver a perfect answer, two days might not even be enough, let alone two hours.
But... frёewebηovel.cѳm
Who told her she was just a miserable "wage earner"?
Even if the task assigned by the boss was difficult to complete, didn't she just have to bite the bullet and do it?
I really can't stand it! After this year, I'll apply to transfer out of the headquarters and go back to my hometown's Night Watch... Wu Yuhui thought, nodding at Nameless Book.
————
After assigning tasks to the three secretaries, Nameless Book left the office alone. She exited the Si Ye Hui Headquarters, headed south, and arrived at a networked automatic vending machine. She placed her hand on the vending machine's screen, then activated her Psychic, and through a subtle induction with the power of nothingness, she established contact.
Nameless Book: “Black Emperor has already processed the video. Let’s meet later? I’ll give you the processed video... Remember! The process of disseminating the video can only be done by you. Absolutely do not let your subordinate urban legend touch it.”
Showing that video to the leaders of the major Psychic organizations was just the first step. To make more Psychic and urban legend know and believe that Disaster had been killed by Black Emperor, it still needed to be done through the hand of nothingness.
Nothingness: “Okay, got it, Sister, no problem, Sister! 【Puppy sticker emoji】”
Nothingness: “However, Sister, I’d like to ask an extra question, how exactly did that adult add a special buff to that video?”
Nameless Book: “Indeed, you are being extra.”
Nameless Book: “However, it’s fine to tell you a few simple things, anyway, Black Emperor’s method is something you can’t learn... Do you know how to perform rituals?”
Nothingness: “...”
At the same time, Nothingness, who was in his lair, watched the text appearing on the illusory screen in front of him, his mouth twitching.
Performing rituals to apply special buffs to video files...
What kind of operation is this? Can it be played like this?
Honestly, this really touched his blind spot of knowledge and ability. Just imagining an old Daoist priest with white hair and beard, with an immortal demeanor, setting up an altar, treading on the Big Dipper steps around a USB drive storing video files, muttering incantations, and performing rituals to add buffs, he felt it was bizarre.
That old man, what kind of cyber Psychic is he?

“Calamitys Death” Countdown: 0h42m5s
Back in the office, after dismissing everyone else, Nameless Book activated her authority and took out a booklet titled “Directory of Missing Agents,” preparing to read it carefully.
As the nights grew longer and urban legend incidents surged in various places, the Night Watch stationed in different cities would have a large number of agents dying in the line of duty or simply vanishing without a trace each year, their fates unknown.
Due to the special identity of Night Watch agents, even though everyone knew they made immense contributions and sacrifices before dying or being sacrificed, most of them couldn't leave their true identities or names.
From a certain perspective, the “Directory of Missing Agents” in Nameless Book’s hand was the most authentic and last record they left in this world.
When Zhang Huainan found her earlier and asked her to help Disaster forge a new identity, she immediately thought of this directory.
It wasn't difficult to select an agent from those missing Night Watch agents whose habits were similar to Disaster's and have Disaster impersonate him.
She hoped that guy, after impersonating a missing agent, would be well-behaved and not tarnish someone else's identity!
If he could use their identity to do something beneficial, that would be even better...
That's right, if he impersonated those agents, how could he not continue their unfinished business?!
Nameless Book thought, opening the “Directory of Missing Agents.” After only two pages, she frowned.
This ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) “Directory of Missing Agents” was condensed by her authority. The further back the recorded information went, the newer it was. The four or five people recorded on the first two pages were, as expected, agents who had gone missing in the past week.
Among the recently missing agents, she noticed a very special individual—Yu Yinchuan, codenamed Jin Chan Lang, Psychic fluctuation level A, Spirit Mark 【Three-Legged Golden Toad】, who went missing five days ago while performing an investigation mission, and has not been seen alive or dead since...
Nameless Book had a deep impression of this agent who belonged to Guardian Caishen (God of Wealth). When Caishen (God of Wealth) was busy dealing with the God of Virtual Currency, it was Jin Chan Lang who represented Caishen (God of Wealth) at the various meetings.
However, being deeply trusted and valued by Caishen (God of Wealth) was not the sole reason for her particular attention to Jin Chan Lang. What truly made her pay special attention was that Jin Chan Lang went missing while investigating a “divine kidnapping” incident, and his last action report before going missing mentioned that he was about to go to Free City for investigation.
Free City... Yu Yinchuan... Disaster... Nameless Book silently repeated these names in her mind, pursing her lips.
Speaking of which, apart from being somewhat impulsive, Yu Yinchuan was actually quite similar to Disaster in other aspects.
Unreliable, flamboyant, always having some clever and whimsical ideas, and even both enjoyed playing “love and magical girls.”
Hmm, Yu Yinchuan must also enjoy playing it, right? Otherwise, why would there be a long string of top-up records in his file every month?
If that's the case, could Disaster impersonate Yu Yinchuan and go to Free City?
This would allow them to investigate Yu Yinchuan’s whereabouts and secretly investigate that Eclipse Society laboratory...
Having Disaster leave Z Country would also maximize avoidance of the surveillance of major Psychic organizations; their eyes and ears should not be able to spread across the ocean.
After a brief thought, as if making a decision, Nameless Book nodded.
Next, the only problem was to find a way to make Disaster cooperate with the action...
