Lu Yibei originally thought that the villagers with physical deformities he saw in the bamboo slips were the victims, but he never expected that the strange shadow mass at the bottom of the pit was the real victim.
I really don't know what's so good about becoming a god. Lu Yibei thought, at this moment he sincerely hoped that there was never any savior, nor any immortals or Emperor~! freewebnσvel.cøm
"Then how should this thing be dealt with?"
"I've told you so much, haven't you understood yet?" Hearing Lu Yibei's question, Ju Meng said angrily, "There's no way to deal with this thing, you'd better find a way to get rid of it quickly! Don't pick up random things and bring them home anymore, you're like a little kid."
Once again feeling the sacred sovereignty of his little nest being violated, Lu Yibei emphasized, "This is my home, not your home..."
"What's our relationship now! Isn't your home my home? Hehe!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
He originally thought that after the baptism of Shui Ge, he would have strong immunity to this kind of shameless guy, until he met Ju Meng.
Otherwise, what else could he do? He couldn't beat her, he had signed a contract, and he couldn't drive her away!
After a moment of silence, Lu Yibei got up, put away the bamboo slips, stored them in the ancient wooden box, went upstairs silently, found a corner in the storage room, and covered them with miscellaneous items.
Leaving the storage room, he went to the head of the bed in the bedroom, found his phone which had finished charging, and pressed the power button.
Last night, he had been studying things in the Monster Story Chat Group. Although he didn't participate in the discussion, his phone unexpectedly ran out of power and shut down automatically while he was mentally browsing the group.
Only at this moment, after charging, did it turn on again.
After being off all night, as soon as he turned on his phone, Lu Yibei found that there were three new messages on his phone, and the content of all three messages made him very annoyed.
【Gu Qianqian: Why did you give me three yuan and two jiao? You have to explain it to me, I thought about it all night and didn't sleep well!】
Lu Yibei, "..."
How the heck would I know why I gave you three yuan and two jiao? Did I think you were too pitiful?
If I hadn't been in a hurry to save someone and taken out twenty yuan, leaving twenty-three yuan and two jiao inside, wouldn't you have gone crazy?
Lu Yibei thought, shook his head, and tapped on the next unknown number message.
【180XXXXXXXX: Hello, this is the Orthopedics Department of Hua City Central Hospital. I am Professor Ma's attending doctor. If it's convenient, please come and accompany him more, after all...
After all, when he goes to the restroom, he always has to drag the patient from the same room with him, which is really inconvenient. We have changed three rooms for him and have already received complaints from three people.】
Lu Yibei, "..."
It seems that although Professor Ma didn't say anything explicitly, the experience from last night still scared him, right?
How should I put it? I hope the other patients are okay.
Lu Yibei thought, swiped the screen, and tapped on the last unread message. Before he could even read the content of the message, just by seeing the sender, he frowned.
The message was from his Counselor. Since he reported to the department and they exchanged contact information, they hadn't contacted each other at all.
Counselors are a very strange type of creature. If you don't contact them, they most likely won't contact you. Once they proactively contact you, it means something bad is about to happen, like a mothman.
【Counselor: Student Lu Yibei, the school anniversary is approaching. The school has learned about your heroic deed of bravely upholding justice, not hesitating to be severely injured, and subduing the villain. We believe your spirit is highly commendable.
Therefore, we hope you can give a speech at the school anniversary spiritual culture lecture event. Please come to my office when you are free, and we can discuss the details.】
Lu Yibei, "..."
How does this matter still have a follow-up plot? It's so frustrating!
It's all Jiang Li's fault, what kind of excuse couldn't she make up?
Eighteen stab wounds for upholding justice? Why didn't you say three villains attacked me alone and I counter-killed them?
Feeling utterly depressed, he put away his phone, changed into a clean set of clothes, put some change and a spare key in his pocket, and went downstairs.
It was already close to noon, and he planned to find a random place outside to grab some lunch, and then go see Jiang Li.
As for what Ju Meng would eat for lunch...
What does that have to do with me? Lu Yibei thought.
When Lu Yibei went downstairs, Ju Meng was watching a certain large-scale mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ethical romance idol drama with great relish.
To be honest, he had watched a couple of glances with her, and with the limited fragmented information, he couldn't figure out whether the male protagonist, who was abandoned by the female protagonist, loved the female protagonist or the female protagonist's widowed stepmother.
Could this be the legendary, if I can't be your husband, I'll be your father?
Seeing Lu Yibei about to go out, Ju Meng immediately sat up straight, staring at him from afar, and raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
"Xiao Bei Bei, where are you going? Are you going to help Sister collect urban legend entity cores again? Actually, you don't have to work so hard, going out during the day isn't efficient."
"Come on, come here and let Sister check your body, see if that knee strike just now hurt you!"
"You're thinking too much." Lu Yibei rolled his eyes at Ju Meng and said indifferently, "I'm going out just because the economy has been bad recently, and the Urban Management team called me out to set up a stall to save the market."
"Ah? You're going to set up a stall? What kind of stall?" Ju Meng was a bit confused.
Lu Yibei pointed to his expressionless face and said seriously, "Face paralysis."

Ju Meng, "..."
Lu Yibei changed his shoes, turned around, and was about to go out, when at this moment, Ju Meng suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something."
Lu Yibei tilted his head and said in a heartless tone, "Figure out your own lunch!"
"Tsk!" Ju Meng spat, "Do you even need to say that? Of course, I'll figure it out myself, Sister. What I wanted to say is, didn't you have a ceramic talisman at home before?" freēwēbnovel.com
"Did I?"
"It's that one, the main function of which is to refresh the mind, repel mosquitoes and insects!"
Upon Ju Meng's reminder, Lu Yibei suddenly remembered the talisman Li Xuan had given him, which he had forgotten somewhere at home, and immediately pressed, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with that talisman?"
"There's a small problem. I just came out of the bathroom after showering yesterday and found someone using that thing to peep."
"What?" Lu Yibei's expression changed, "When did I let you use my bathroom? You didn't use my towel too, did you?"
For a second or two, Lu Yibei seriously considered whether using a towel that a urban legend had used would cause illness in humans.
Then he realized that he seemed to be no longer human.
"Hey! Your focus is strange! Aren't you concerned about who was peeping?"
"Although that's also important, I'm more concerned about whether you used my towel or not." Lu Yibei said in a serious tone.
"Yes, I did. There's still some of my maidenly fragrance left on it! It smells like peach blossoms, want to smell it?" Ju Meng said with a wicked smile, raising her eyebrows at Lu Yibei as she spoke, her thick, long eyelashes like a pair of enticing little hands.
Lu Yibei, "..." Damn it! Smelly Girl really used my towel. It looks like I'll have to buy a new one later.
Lu Yibei thought, asking knowingly, "Okay then, second question, do you know who was peeping?"
"That, I'm not sure, but I was so ashamed and angry at the time, I sent a dazzling divine light over, he's probably blind now, right?" Ju Meng said proudly.
Lu Yibei, "..."
If I told her now that she attacked someone from the Night Watch, would she still be so smug?
However, I didn't expect that Li Xuan, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually do something like installing a pinhole camera in someone else's home? Why is he so against me?
...
1:53 PM.
Lu Yibei arrived at the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration more than half an hour earlier than the study time he had agreed upon with Jiang Li.
Although he was a little worried that Li Xuan's suspicion of him would deepen because Ju Meng had flashed his dog eyes blind.
But he was even more worried that if the agreed time arrived and he didn't go to Jiang Li's place to study, and Li Xuan was fanning the flames at this time, his situation would become even more dangerous.
As long as I walk into the Night Watch openly and honestly, I won't be suspected! Lu Yibei thought, how could a real mole dare to enter the Night Watch so brazenly? This level of understanding is at least on the fifth floor!
Arriving at the Night Watch, led by A Hua, who had a grumpy face, to Jiang Li's office, Lu Yibei found that she was playing mahjong again and wasn't surprised at all.
In Lu Yibei's perception, the daily life of that limping girl seemed to have only one form of entertainment besides hunting down urban legend, which was playing mahjong.
Moreover, based on his observations during this period, Jiang Li's mahjong hobby was not limited to two-dimensional mahjong mobile games, but also included Goose Factory Happy Mahjong, Hua City local online chess and card rooms, and Macau Royal online casino mahjong gambling tables.
The most outrageous thing was that she won 90% of the time, even winning money from illegal online mahjong gambling tables.
What's the point of a game where you only win? Lu Yibei pouted as he looked at Jiang Li, who was completely focused on mahjong. Unless there's something fishy going on! But what urban legend could be involved in playing mahjong?
Just as Lu Yibei was secretly complaining, a game victory sound came from Jiang Li's computer speaker.
She closed the game, looked at Lu Yibei, nodded slightly, and said indifferently, "You came early? You came just in time. Before class, I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Lu Yibei, "..." What good news and bad news? It couldn't be that kind of nesting doll where it's the same thing presented with different phrasing, right?
"Then I'll hear the good news first?"
"The good news is that the Spirit Mark I applied for you has been approved. Soon, you can become a formal member of the Night Watch, of course, if you are willing." Jiang Li said.
Although the urban legend entity core used to draw the Spirit Mark for Lu Yibei was found by Bai Kai, Bai Kai strongly requested Jiang Li not to tell Lu Yibei, so she complied.
Of course, this wasn't out of fear of Bai Kai's harassment. She was no longer afraid of Bai Kai sneaking into the Amber House at night to play the suona. She had found a way to deal with it - when Bai Kai invited women home, she would have A Hua play funeral music outside his window.
"Then what's the bad news?" Lu Yibei pressed.
"The bad news is..." Jiang Li paused and said, "The courier responsible for escorting the raw materials had some problems on the way and may arrive a little later."
This doesn't seem like a big problem? Lu Yibei pondered for a few seconds with his chin in his hand, looked at Jiang {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Li, and asked, "Then can I ask in advance what kind of Spirit Mark you prepared for me?"
"What we prepared for you is..."
Jiang Li's thin lips parted, but before she could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open.
The person who entered was Li Xuan. As soon as he walked into the office, his gaze locked onto Lu Yibei, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
