Surrounded by the sprawling black mountain range, the desolate village was like it was dead, without a trace of life.
Suddenly, a series of high-pitched screams pierced the silence of the night, and the lifeless village seemed to be awakened all at once.
The sounds of wooden doors being pushed open were endless, and lanterns drifted out from dark corners, their scarlet color like evil ghosts hunting in the deep night, bringing an aura of extreme wickedness and defilement.
"The power of Ku E, overturning the world!"
A delicate shout echoed above the village, mixed with whispers that seemed to come from ancient times, and a golden phantom flashed across the corner at the edge of the village.
Immediately following, a heavy and majestic aura soared into the sky, the cold rain threads in the sky trembled, pausing slightly, and even the dampness that had long lingered above the village showed a faint tendency to be suppressed.

Gu Qianqian's Psychic level had definitely reached the standard of an A-Level gatekeeper; generally speaking, a Psychic like her, if she did anything bad, would definitely be on the Night Watch national wanted list.
And those women in red might play important roles in this strange village, but their combat ability was absolutely incomparable to Gu Qianqian's.
Under the whistling metal bat in Gu Qianqian's hand, they couldn't even last two rounds; borrowing a classic line from a certain TV series, it was "She hadn't even used force, and they all fell down."
In the small courtyard, broken pieces of water jars were scattered all over the ground, and the filthy water soaked the earth; strangely, there was no sign of any deformed infant in the shattered water jars.
In the center of the small courtyard, red clothes were violently shredded, and under the scattered red scraps, the bodies of those strange women lay on the ground, torn into pieces like ripped paper dolls, yet without a trace of blood.
Beneath their shattered bodies, there was a kind of active pitch-black substance, glossy like asphalt, yet lacking substance like thick fog, in a state between semi-illusory and semi-real, writhing madly, like a mass of tangled venomous snakes.
Looking at the remaining remains of the women in red on the ground, Gu Qianqian swung the bat in her hand, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked the system in her mind, "System, are they urban legend? Why is there no core of the urban legend body!"
"They are indeed considered urban legend," the system replied, "but it's obvious they are not the main body. If they're not the main body, where would the main body's core come from? Also, Gu Qianqian, didn't you say you knew what to do? What were you doing just now?"
"Huh?!" Gu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Didn't you say that as long as all witnesses are killed, it doesn't count as a failed infiltration?"
"God damn it, I said that!" The system was momentarily choked with anger, and said irritably, "That's what I said, Disaster once said something like that, she's an idiot, how can you listen to her words?"
"My intention was for you to find a chance to escape!"
Based on the system's previous experience entering the Bamboo Scroll Illusion, the number of those blood-colored lantern urban legend was astonishingly large, and they had a certain special way of communication with each other, able to coordinate and reinforce regardless of the distance.
Therefore, fighting a bloody path out is possible, but wanting to kill all the urban legend is completely impossible.
Too many ants can kill an elephant; trying to avoid direct confrontation is the best choice. Even bombing fish in a pond should follow basic principles!
What's more, their main purpose in entering the Bamboo Scroll Illusion was to steal the knowledge that once belonged to the gods. Once excessive violence is used and the 'crime' changes nature, the situation changes!
But now...
"Forget it, Gu Qianqian, since things have come to this, hurry up and run!"
"But, I haven't completed the mission yet!" Gu Qianqian said resentfully, turning to look at the man hiding and trembling in the corner of the small courtyard, "You, I'm asking you! Tell me, useful information about your village, and, and where is your ancestral hall?!"
Hearing Gu Qianqian mention the ancestral hall, the man's body trembled violently as if electrocuted, and greater fear struck, making him break free from the fear brought by Gu Qianqian; a trace of anger gradually appeared on his distorted face.
"You, you came for the ancestral hall! You killed Hui婆, how dare you... Just wait! The village chief won't let you off!"
"Village chief? What village chief? Stop interrupting me, I'm asking you where the ancestral hall is!"
"Ancestral hall... ancestral hall..." The man mumbled twice, just about to say something, when his muscles suddenly tensed up all over his body.
His body bent backward into an arch, his deformed spine making cracking sounds, followed by a violent contraction of his pupils, and a sudden rustling sound from his abdominal cavity, as if something was gnawing at his bones and flesh.
"Snap, snap--!"
As dark red blood spread across his chest, a lantern emerged from within him, and at the same moment, he lost the breath of life.
"..." Seeing this, Gu Qianqian slightly parted her lips, just about to say something, when a mechanical prompt suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Mission complete, host has successfully obtained points and rewards, please find a safe place to eat!"
Although Gu Qianqian's mission completion rate was not high, the system judging her mission complete at this time had a bit of suspicion of intentionally letting her off the hook so she would leave quickly.
However, the system did indeed obtain a lot of useful information: the existence of Hui婆 and the village chief, and the phenomenon of ordinary villagers with absolutely no Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly transforming into low-level urban legend, which was something it had not known before.
As soon as she heard she could eat, Gu Qianqian couldn't worry about anything else; she put away the bat, turned around, stomped the ground hard with both feet, and with a sonic boom, disappeared into that dilapidated temple.
...
A few minutes later.
A figure wrapped in golden faint light sped across the barren and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) infertile fields and paths; behind her, hundreds and thousands of blood-colored lanterns floated, densely gathering into a long dragon, chasing her footsteps towards the distant black mountain range.
In the distance, the scarecrows with lowered heads slowly raised their heads, a faint light flickering in their dark hollow eye sockets, watching them leave, and a faint, sinister whispering sound came from somewhere.
...
In the early morning, Jingyi Apartment, at Lu Yibei's home.
Ju Meng sat cross-legged on the sofa, and on the coffee table opposite her, the urban legend who were forced to be listeners and advisors were weak, pitiful, and helpless.
"Do you think that stinky boy won't come back again because of what happened last night?" Ju Meng said worriedly, propping her chin.
Yesterday, after Lu Yibei left, she secretly went upstairs, helped her tidy up the messy room, and then was surprised to find that her magical girl outfit had disappeared.
And thus, a plot of a cross-dressing master being humiliated, taking her beloved little dress, leaving home in anger, and leaving home forever.
Hearing this, the urban legend quickly shook their heads and denied, "That's impossible!"
"Yes, yes! This is her home, she's so stingy, she wouldn't bear to part with such an expensive house!"
"That's right, that's right! What's more, there's a beautiful girl like you at home! If she had any sense at all, she wouldn't not come back, right?"
Ju Meng tilted her head, "Really?"
The urban legend looked at the hair-thin, yet potentially dozens of times larger, emerald green vines beside them, and said in unison, "Really, it's truer than the banknotes issued by the central bank!"
"Hmm..." Ju Meng pondered for a few seconds upon hearing this, and said with a serious expression, "Then tell me, what should I do so she doesn't continue to be angry with me?"
Act cute and spoiled? Show cleavage? Offer herself in marriage?
For a moment, all sorts of strange and bizarre words flashed through the minds of the urban legend, but soon, they were completely rejected by them.
Not to mention whether answering Ju Meng like this would result in her giving them an Asian tie-up on the spot and sending them on their way.
Even if she really listened to the suggestion and did it, according to Devil Woman's personality, she would definitely think that she had ulterior motives, was up to something, and wanted to harm her life.
Our Devil Woman at home, she has big issues, she's as cautious as if she has a psychological illness.
"How about... how about making... making..."
"Make? Are you talking about the special act for procreation? How can that be!" Ju Meng glared at the Sleeping Dress floating in mid-air, "No, no, now is not the time!"
urban legend, "???"
I'm still white.jpg
Although we didn't mean that, we didn't expect you to actually crave her body? It seems your purpose for staying here isn't so simple!
"Uh, I meant... Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Ju Meng rolled her eyes and said.
They are all young girls in their prime, who doesn't yearn for a love affair where spirit and flesh merge?
But with all these toxins in my body, few urban legend or humans can withstand it; this kind of thing will have to wait at least one or two hundred years, after advancing again, before it can be practiced.
"Make... make a meal..." freewebnøvel.com
When Sleeping Dress finally stammered out what she wanted to say, Ju Meng twitched the corner of her mouth, "..." Uh, so that's what she meant? It seems to make sense!
Don't look at me like that! What are you looking at? Still looking! This old lady is still very pure, okay! Ju Meng thought.
So...
Around nine o'clock in the morning, when Lu Yibei had bathed in the morning sun, taken a shower at Gu Qianqian's place, and returned home to get her textbooks and phone for school, she saw that indescribable thing on the table.
She dared to swear that it was a sight she had never seen in her mere ten-plus years of life.
In the large copper basin, rolling with the dark green liquid, were the corpses of some unknown animals, stained with the ominous liquid, their original shapes no longer discernible.
Another part consisted of the reproductive organs of some creature; they were still soft now, but tightly intertwined with each other, like the drooping arms of a dying person, or like they could burst forth with new life at any moment.
"What the ♦ is this? I was only out for one night, and you've already started creating urban legend in my home?" Lu Yibei shouted, pointing at the bizarre thing on the table, not hiding the disgust in her eyes as she spoke.
"Garlic, garlic moss stir-fried with meat..." Ju Meng said awkwardly.
Is it that exaggerated? I just tasted it, and it tastes good! Ju Meng thought.
Lu Yibei, "..." Garlic moss stir-fried with meat? Are you sure you don't need to add prefixes like "Evil Energy," "Funeral Bell," or "Ancient God's"?
Looking at her like this, she seemed to want to apologize for last night, but, this kind of thing that looks like the offspring of an evil god...
To eat or not to eat, to live or to die, that is the question. Lu Yibei thought.
