Free Web Novel“Please, someone come!”
“Hello? Anyone there? Did you all go home? There’s an innocent person still locked up here!”
While making pig-like squeals with a poker face, Lu Yibei pondered silently. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Since the dream of Mr. Rabbit killing people turned out to be real, could that strange dream I just had also be true?
If it’s true, then who was the girl in the dream?
My mom? A past life girlfriend? A future daughter? When will they show up?
And where is that tall building?
Lu Yibei recalled the scene from her dream, and after repeated confirmation, she was certain that there was absolutely no building that tall in Hua City; from its top, one could even overlook every corner of the entire city.
“Damn it, someone come! What you’re doing is inhumane, it’s illegal detention! When I get out...”
“Creak—!” The iron door of the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside, and the words on Lu Yibei’s lips were swallowed back.
The Little Maid walked in with a stern face, looking askance at Lu Yibei, and said faintly, “When you get out, what will you do? Do you want to take revenge on us?”
It was only then that Lu Yibei finally saw the appearance of the young girl who ‘opened the door with warmth’.
She wasn’t tall, wearing a traditional black and white maid uniform, with a well-proportioned yet curvaceous figure.
Her small, delicate face had a hint of Nordic charm, adorned with light-colored freckles, and behind a pair of black-rimmed glasses, deep purple eyes were hidden. Her light gray, ear-length curly hair inexplicably reminded one of a sheep.
But Lu Yibei knew very well that she was no sheep, but a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
How could a proper sheep know so many interrogation techniques!
More and more terrifying than the Manchu’s Ten Great Tortures!
Lu Yibei straightened her back, shaking her head like a rattle, and swore with three fingers raised, “No, no, I meant to say, after I get out, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut and pretend nothing ever happened! Not only will I not hold a grudge, but I also want to thank you for giving me a chance to be a new person. I’ll give you gifts on holidays and festivals...”
“Shut up!” The Little Maid interrupted unfriendly, “You can go.”
“Huh?” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
“Huh what? I’ve asked everything I wanted to ask, is it strange to let you go?”
“No, of course not! It’s just that happiness came too suddenly, I haven’t quite reacted!” Lu Yibei scratched the back of her head, frowning, “But, it looks like you’re some special department dealing with Weird tale, right? You’re just letting me go like this?”
Lu Yibei wasn’t a fool; after encountering such strange things, she vaguely felt that those Weird tale in the city might all be real.
She had seen similar things online a long time ago, like being trapped in a haunted campus, ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) and mysterious men in black appearing to rescue them.
Strong men, possibly Shaolin monks, clashing with tentacled monsters in an abandoned factory, and the one on the left actually won!
A centaur girl, covered in silver runic armor, dragging a four-meter-long saber, chasing a vampire-like monster and hacking wildly for eighteen streets without even blinking, surprisingly her eyes didn’t dry out!
...
Most of these videos and posts were probably riding the “Weird tale” craze and weren't quickly deleted like in novels, where they're often suppressed.
But some of them might also be real, and the rumored special departments that deal with Weird tale genuinely exist.
And, it’s very likely that this is the place!
After realizing this, she wasn’t completely unshocked; if her hands hadn’t been cuffed, she would have jumped up.
She just looked unfazed, which was a false calm...
“Not leaving? Do you want to stay here overnight?” The Little Maid said impatiently.
“Don’t I need to sign a non-disclosure agreement or something?” Lu Yibei asked suspiciously, “There isn’t some conspiracy behind this, is there?”
Upon hearing this, the Little Maid’s eyelid twitched, and her heart tightened. She briefly thought Lu Yibei had guessed her mistress’s plan to lure the snake out of its hole, but then she relaxed slightly when Lu Yibei continued to babble aimlessly.
She didn’t guess anything, she just talked too much, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, right?
No, what’s wrong with this person!?
She clearly looked like a somewhat ascetic, cold-faced handsome guy; if she were properly groomed and marketed, she might even have a chance to debut. Too bad she had a mouth and could talk!
“I’m asking you one more time, are you leaving or not? If not, you’ll stay here for the rest of your life!” The Little Maid said impatiently.
“Yes, of course!” Lu Yibei nodded and bowed, and if there was a bit more fawning smile on her face, she would definitely exude the aura of a sycophant.
Hearing Lu Yibei say this, the Little Maid actually felt a huge sigh of relief, as if she had gotten rid of a huge burden.
This is the first time I’ve encountered such a troublesome person involved; I’m really having a hard time.
The Little Maid thought, walked forward, unlocked Lu Yibei’s handcuffs, and then pulled out a black hood from under her skirt, tossing it in front of her.
Lu Yibei frowned, a moment of hesitation.
Pulled out from that place, would it have any strange smell? Like, girl juice? Although I don’t have mysophobia, I’m still quite clean.
“What are you standing there for? Put it on and come with me!”
“You can’t let me know your hideout, uh, sorry, where your headquarters are, right? I understand, I understand!”
Lu Yibei said, grabbing the hood and putting it on her head, then...
She sniffed hard.
Hmm, thankfully no strange smell, just a faint warmth, and a subtle, almost imperceptible scent of jasmine.
In the darkness, Lu Yibei was pushed by the Little Maid behind her, and then, under her guidance, walked forward.
...
A few minutes later.
“We’re here.”
The Little Maid’s voice, clearly tinged with a hint of disdain, came from beside her ear. Immediately after, the hood on her head was removed. Lu Yibei adjusted to the light in front of her, then looked around, discovering that she had already arrived downstairs at her apartment building.
Only a few minutes of walking, and very slowly, yet I’m already downstairs at my place? Lu Yibei thought in surprise, could it be that...
The mysterious organization’s base is in my neighborhood!
The setting of a mysterious organization’s base being under the neighborhood committee is quite common, isn’t it? White Little Flower’s base is even in a convenience store!
“Go up. Remember, don’t mention today’s events to anyone. If you do, we will definitely know!”
The Little Maid warned Lu Yibei and was about to turn and leave, but just then, Lu Yibei called out to her.
“Wait a moment!”
“What is it?”
“Can I have your contact information? If Mr. Rabbit finds me again, I can call for help, right?”
“No need, don’t worry, he won’t come looking for you again!”
“Alright, then...” Lu Yibei leaned forward slightly, rubbing her index finger and thumb in front of the Little Maid, and said earnestly, “Aren’t I assisting you with your case? Isn’t there some kind of friendly citizen reward?”
Although her father had left her a considerable family fortune, she had suffered from a young age and deeply understood the importance of saving money.
Every bit helps. I can’t let the family fortune be squandered in my hands, can I? Lu Yibei thought.
“Sigh—!”
The Little Maid didn’t want to speak anymore, afraid that a conversation with her would lead to another basket of nonsense. She sighed softly and unhurriedly pulled out a pistol, aiming it at Lu Yibei’s head.
Lu Yibei’s expression sharpened at the sight, she said “Goodbye!” and turned, running faster than the wind.
...
As soon as she ran into the stairwell, Lu Yibei stopped, stood still for a few seconds, then turned and poked half her head out, looking towards the front of the apartment building.
The area in front of the main entrance was empty; she could directly see the misty green belt outside the main door, and the Little Maid was already gone.
After observing from the stairwell entrance for a while, and confirming that the Little Maid had truly left, Lu Yibei went upstairs.
Back home, she immediately locked all the doors and windows. After a brief thought, she rummaged through the storage room for a safety latch and a car battery. After installing the safety latch, she connected wires with clips to the doorknob.
Although the Little Maid had told her on the way back that she was no longer in danger and to pretend nothing had happened, she still felt a bit uneasy.
Recalling the dream of Mr. Rabbit killing people, she realized that Mr. Rabbit would knock and twist the doorknob before entering.
Even if the safety latch and battery couldn't stop Mr. Rabbit, they could at least buy some time, right? Lu Yibei thought. Anyway, it wouldn't take much effort to prepare, and it was better to be cautious!
After doing everything, she stood with her hands on her hips for a while, looking left and right, always feeling something was missing. Then she slowly turned around and looked at the mingwang statue in the corner of the living room, nodding.
“Well, I’ll have to trouble you again tonight, old man!”
She said expressionlessly, walked forward, clasped her hands together, bowed three times to the mingwang statue, then hoisted it onto her shoulder and went upstairs.
...
The enclosed warehouse was pitch black, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.
Someone pushed the door open and entered.
The man sitting on the chair slowly rose, his body exposed to the faint light streaming from outside the door, but his face remained entirely hidden in the deep darkness.
He looked at the grotesque figure in front of him, with a rabbit’s head and crimson eyes, curled his lips into a smile, and spread his arms, saying, “My dear Mr. Rabbit, shouldn’t I congratulate you on being about to break free from the Twilight Woman’s control? Your ritual preparations should be nearing completion, shouldn’t they?”
As he spoke, his throat carried a persistent chirping of cicadas, echoing through the dark, empty warehouse—monotonous, repetitive, noisy, irritating to the ear, yet compelling one to keep listening.
“Thanks to you, I had a good time, but...” Mr. Rabbit chuckled strangely, “There was a bit of a problem. My last target was targeted by the Night Watch, and I’m worried...”
“Worried they’ll follow that person’s lead to find you, so you want me to help you eliminate him?”
“Exactly! I even suspect they’ve already found that person and are now waiting for me to take the bait!”
“Hehe!” The man chuckled, holding up two fingers, “Twenty source spirits.”
“Are you crazy?” Mr. Rabbit’s eyes turned fierce, his lips slightly parted to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth, and he growled viciously, “Twenty source spirits mean the souls of twenty potential psychics! If I had that many, I would have already advanced! I wouldn’t need to fear those few big and small cats from the Night Watch!”
“But you are still afraid, aren’t you? What’s more, I didn’t ask you to pay now. We always accept installment payments here. Once you advance, you just need to pay on time and in full.”
“You know, we’ve always been fair to everyone. Didn’t we cooperate very happily when you were looking for the witchs egg?”
“Twenty source spirits, and I guarantee to help you awaken the witchs egg and successfully advance.”
Facing such a tempting trade offer, Mr. Rabbit seemed to be pondering, remaining silent for a while, then his response came from the darkness.
“Alright...”
