Free Web NovelLu Yibei had long wanted to get in touch with Gu Qianqian.
After encountering Gu Qianqian twice in places where urban legend appeared, Lu Yibei felt she definitely wasn't an ordinary person, and there was no mention of her in the Night Watch.
Therefore, Lu Yibei felt that Gu Qianqian was very likely the type of lone exorcist Du Sixian mentioned, or perhaps she was a Strange Tale living as a human, just like herself!
If that were the case, as long as she established a good relationship with her, she might be able to obtain a lot of Spiritual Energy-related information and supplies that were neither from urban legend nor the official Night Watch.
Ju Meng had said before that necessary supplies were indispensable to becoming powerful, but Lu Yibei had no way to obtain Spiritual Energy supplies.
The Night Watch was definitely not an option, and she was afraid of being tricked when trading with urban legend. If she could connect with the trading network between exorcists through Gu Qianqian, it wouldn't be bad.
Lu Yibei felt it didn't matter if she gained another identity as a civilian exorcist because of this.
Anyway, she now held multiple identities: a university student with a heavy workload, a temporary worker for the Night Watch, a wanted criminal among Hua City's urban legend, a high-level Strange Tale convenant signatory, and a key suspect of Night Watch Agent No. 2.
But she had tried looking for her in the school several times and hadn't seen a trace of her, as if this student didn't exist in the school at all.
She once suspected that Gu Qianqian might be a Strange Tale like "the person who doesn't exist in the school."
If she hadn't experienced something like this today and deliberately walked down Four Gate Main Street, it would probably have taken her a long time to see Gu Qianqian.
"Don't run! Wait for me!" Lu Yibei shouted as she chased Gu Qianqian, feeling a faint sense that she couldn't catch up.
That Miss was really too good at running. From a distance, she looked like a charging human-shaped sedan, astonishingly fast.
"Gu Qianqian, run faster, faster!" As Gu Qianqian ran wildly, the system's urging voice kept ringing in her ears.
Meeting Lu Yibei at school, especially after she had turned into a Strange Tale, the system was truly terrified.
What did it mean that she dared to swagger around the school in this state?
It meant that she no longer cared about the Night Watch's investigation!
And according to the system's estimation, she should currently be chased and beaten by the inheritor of Jumang's Power, with no time to appear at school. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
But she appeared here anyway, what did this mean?
This meant that she had challenged someone above her level and defeated the inheritor of Jumang's Power through some unknown method!
If she had truly defeated the inheritor of Jumang's Power, what would be the fate of the losing party? The system shivered at the thought.
Although Jumang's Power was not strongly related to the Disaster's advancement path, the vast Spiritual Energy and the various magical abilities brought by the Power were enough to instantly elevate the Disaster's strength by a large margin.
This might be one of the important reasons why she no longer feared the Night Watch.
"It's over, it's over... Why is it so fast this time? Do I still have a way to stop her?" The system muttered to itself.
Gu Qianqian heard its words and pouted her Little Girl mouth, "system?"
"Hmm?"
"Didn't you say before that she wasn't that scary, and that in a last resort, you had a way for me to stand a chance against her? Why are we running?" Gu Qianqian asked.
"Now, now the situation is a bit different." The system stabilized its emotions and said vaguely, "Besides, to subdue the enemy without fighting, isn't that the highest realm of combat?"
"Huh!?" Gu Qianqian was stunned and said, "But she hasn't even made a move, and we've already retreated by ourselves. Doesn't that mean she's already reached the highest realm?"
system, "..." That's true, but, but, damn it! It couldn't think of an excuse to refute her right away!
Gu Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "What should we do then! How about we surrender?"
"I don't think she looks as scary as you say. If we talk to her nicely and behave, she probably won't hurt us."
"Gu Qianqian!" The system suddenly shouted in Gu Qianqian's mind upon hearing this, "You are the protagonist, are you really willing to be subservient to others?"
"Yes!" Gu Qianqian said seriously, "Why wouldn't I? If there's someone stronger than me charging ahead and taking the brunt of the sky falling, wouldn't that be great?"
"Even protagonists have those who rely on others!"
"You... you're really making me mad!"
The system was speechless for a moment, thinking to itself, no wonder this girl had been reading books like "The Strongest Gigolo in History," "Offering a Wedding Ring to the Female Demon Lord," and "My Tsundere Dragon Girlfriend" online recently.
So she was researching this?
Do you think I haven't tried the path you mentioned? But then what?
Nothing changed, she was still her. No matter what happened, no matter how kind she seemed now, she would eventually walk the path of destroying the world. The system thought.
...
Lu Yibei once thought Gu Qianqian might be a track and field long-distance runner.
In fact, when she was casually looking for Gu Qianqian, she had inquired and found out that the Miss was from the sports college, but she didn't know what sport she trained in.
Everyone's body had been strengthened by Spiritual Energy, and her own short legs probably couldn't catch up with her.
However...
In this world, you will never know what will happen in the next second.
For example, Gu Qianqian had no idea that the moment she rushed out of the school gate, she would collide with an electric bike.
"Watch out!" Lu Yibei exclaimed upon seeing this, then froze on the spot.
The scene before her was too gruesome, it stunned her.
Terrible, truly terrible. The electric bike's front casing and steel frame were both deformed.
The person was sent flying. Although he fell into the green belt and wasn't seriously injured, he lay on the ground wailing for a long time and couldn't get up.
Oh, this was referring to the young man on the electric bike. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Gu Qianqian was just knocked back a few steps and fell onto the ground, but quickly scrambled up as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Gu Qianqian get up, the seemingly rogue-ish young man was also stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up as if resurrected with full health, took a few quick steps, grabbed her wrist, and simultaneously fell to the ground.
"You, you don't think you can leave, ow, ow—! I'm dying!"
"Oh dear, you..." Gu Qianqian was startled by the young man's action and stood rooted to the spot, flustered.
...
The system and Lu Yibei both inwardly scoffed almost simultaneously.
Staged accident? Tsk, a traditional skill of street thugs.
"system... what should I do?" The flustered Gu Qianqian didn't know what to do for a moment and could only quietly ask the system for help.
The next moment, a mechanical prompt sounded in her mind.
"Extremely sorry, the signal connection is affected by a mysterious power, your friend 【Super Beautiful Girl Demon Slaying system】 has disconnected!"
Sorry, Gu Qianqian, I can't solve staged accidents like this, even the landlord's family has no surplus grain!
Most importantly, the Disaster is catching up, I can only hide for now, if I'm discovered, it's over. The system thought.

By the way, what kind of host should I look for next?
Having slightly less combat talent doesn't seem too important, it's better to find someone smarter, more thoughtful, and more adaptable.
"system? system?"
After calling out in her mind several times and confirming that the system was indeed "offline," Gu Qianqian looked troubled, turned to the young man lying on the ground, and weakly said, "Yes, I'm sorry, you look very badly injured, do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"Ow, ow, what hospital? I'm dying, it's too late to send me."
"Huh?! Then, then I'll leave?" Gu Qianqian said. She understood it clearly; anyway, it was too late to send him to the hospital, and the other party didn't need her help, so why should she stay here?
Soon, Lu Yibei would catch up.
The young man lying on the ground acting shamelessly and pitifully had absolutely not expected Gu Qianqian to react this way. He had done similar things several times before, and it had always worked.
Did he overact this time? He thought, his heart sinking, and opened his mouth to shout, "Help! Help! Everyone, come and see! This person hit someone and wants to run!"
Although there were few pedestrians coming and going near Four Gate Main Street, after the young man shouted like that, people still gathered in twos and threes to watch the show.
After seeing the electric bike with its front end completely smashed, the onlookers, without any consideration for global warming, collectively gasped.
Similar thoughts popped up in their minds.
This Little Girl looked quite fair and delicate, who knew she drove so fiercely.
Look at the state of this bike? How could the person who was hit be okay?
For a moment, everyone started speaking up for the young man and accusing Gu Qianqian.
"Little Girl, look, what state have you hit him into?"
"Yeah, this is at least a fracture, right?"
"No, no, I think maybe his internal organs are shattered, but why isn't he spitting blood?"
...
The staged accident young man, "..."
How are these people talking? Why does it sound like they wish I were dead?
But this is good too, I can take advantage of the situation to ask for more money, hehehe! The staged accident young man thought slyly.
...
Lu Yibei had never expected that the person who hit someone with a vehicle would still have the nerve to stage an accident.
While secretly noting down this divine maneuver that might be useful in the future, she stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Qianqian.
Normally, when encountering such things, Lu Yibei would avoid them as much as possible for fear of trouble, but today, she was focused on connecting with Gu Qianqian for future access to Spiritual Energy supplies, and also felt that the young man staging the accident was being too bullying, which was why she stepped forward.
If I don't give her a little taste of sweetness, her always running away when she sees me isn't a solution! Lu Yibei thought.
She glanced at the staged accident young man lying on the ground, "Stop acting, I clearly saw you hit her just now. She hasn't even fallen to the ground yet, but you're already staging an accident. Have some shame, okay?"
Gu Qianqian, who was being jointly attacked by the onlookers and the staged accident young man, was originally so anxious she was about to cry. Hearing someone speak up for her, she ignored the system's repeated warnings about how dangerous Lu Yibei was, turned around, and grabbed Lu Yibei's small hand.
"Yes, yes, you saw it too, right? He was the one who hit me!"
The staged accident young man originally thought his skin was thick enough, but after being exposed by the sudden appearance of the beautiful girl with a cold, expressionless face, he still felt his cheeks burning slightly.
He became furious with embarrassment for a moment, pointed at Lu Yibei with a red face and neck, and said, "You, you're slandering me! This is clearly her bike, and she hit someone. How can you twist the truth? Oh, I see, you're with her! You just don't want to take responsibility!"
"You said this is her bike?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Oh." Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully, looked at Gu Qianqian, and said, "Then are you willing to lend me the bike to ride for a bit?"
"Huh!? Okay, okay..." Gu Qianqian said blankly.
Hearing this, Lu Yibei ignored the staged accident young man's curses from the side, walked towards the electric bike lying on the ground, helped it up, took a deep breath, and elegantly rode onto it. She gently turned the key, and upon finding that it still worked, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
The next moment, she started the electric bike under the stunned gazes of the surrounding onlookers.
As she passed by Gu Qianqian, she lightly called out, "Get on, let's go!" and pulled Gu Qianqian onto the bike.
It wasn't until Lu Yibei had ridden the electric bike quite a distance away that the staged accident young man recovered from his shock, scrambled up from the ground, and chased after them while shouting.
"Stealing a bike, stealing a bike! Can someone do something? They stole my bike! Is there any law and order?"
"Isn't that her bike?"
Someone in the crowd said something, and the staged accident young man immediately fell silent, his shouting dying down.
...
A few minutes later, Xuefu Road Police Station.
Yes, Lu Yibei and Gu Qianqian were caught, caught by the Officers who arrived. After all, that electric bike was damaged in the collision and didn't run as fast as someone jogging slowly.
They hadn't gone far before they were stopped by the Police Station Officers who arrived after being called.
In an office, at the desk, Gu Qianqian and an Officer sat on opposite sides.
The Officer had a form for making notes in front of him, stared at Gu Qianqian with a serious expression, and asked, "Name?"
"Gu Qianqian."
"Age?"
"Ten, nineteen."
"Home address."
"Under the Kua Jiang Bridge, the third bridge arch on the left bank."
Officer, "???"
This Miss isn't trying to fool me, is she? Can people live in a place like that?
The Officer thought, and said seriously, "Miss, we have understood the course of events. It was indeed that guy who hit you with his vehicle, and he also has a record of being sued for staged accidents before. You don't need to be afraid, please tell me the information truthfully. I'm just making a simple record of what happened here."
"But..." Gu Qianqian hesitated.
But I do live in a bridge arch under the Kua Jiang Bridge? Should I be specific down to which shack?
Gu Qianqian thought, about to tell the Officer truthfully, when at that moment, a knock sounded on the door, followed by another Officer opening the door and sticking half his body in.
"Xiao Li, let her go, her family is here to pick her up."
Hearing this, Gu Qianqian's face changed, and she almost screamed.
My family... aren't they all dead already? Gu Qianqian thought, feeling a chill rush to her brain for a moment.
