Du Sixian mentioned finding a photo sealing a strange Old man in Xue Hua's dormitory, but the camera used to take the photo had disappeared.
Lu Yibei immediately thought of the camera urban legend incident he had seen in the Monster Story Chat Group not long ago.
Could there be some connection between these events? Should he inform the Leader about this information?
But if the Monster Story Chat Group was thoroughly investigated by the Night Watch, the clues about the Psychic and the urban legend trading platform that Gu Qianqian mentioned would be completely cut off.
Lu Yibei weighed his options, just as he was about to get more information from Du Sixian, he realized she had already changed the subject at some point.
“Speaking of the benefits of becoming a full member, maybe it’s because my Spirit Mark doesn’t have any special abilities, but I’ve gained a lot of benefits from this misfortune.”
Lu Yibei thought, “...” The benefit she’s talking about probably isn’t the kind of benefit I want.
However, how did she change the topic to benefits?
Forget it, I can only go back and check the content of the camera urban legend in the Monster Story Chat Group later, Lu Yibei thought.
Du Sixian had experienced too much recently, and having finally found Lu Yibei, who had a similar experience, she immediately opened up and talked incessantly about many things.
This wasn’t about showing off to Lu Yibei; she simply needed someone to talk to.
“Those benefits, they’re just some...”
Just as Du Sixian was about to tell Lu Yibei everything she had seen at An Qing's place, Lu Yibei interrupted her.
“Wait a minute! Don’t tell me. After all, I’m just a temporary worker. Some things are better left unknown.”
Lu Yibei thought, I’ve seen most of what you learned at An Qing's in my dreams, so what difference does it make whether you tell me or not?
To be honest, compared to Du Sixian's incessant chatter in the dream, Lu Yibei felt that interacting with her “offline” in person wasn't so annoying.
However, as he said himself, he was still just a temporary worker. If Du Sixian accidentally revealed something that his clearance wasn't enough to know, he would likely be investigated. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The Night Watch hadn't discovered Lu Yibei's mark on her yet, but that didn't mean a careful investigation wouldn't find any clues. At that point, the outcome would be both of them being finished.
This Miss is still too young.
Lu Yibei thoughtfully glanced at Du Sixian, who had shifted the topic from the Night Watch to everyday matters.
Could she really think that joining the Night Watch is a good thing?
Anyway, I think most people who join the Night Watch are probably unwilling. If there wasn't the risk of being hunted by urban legend, who would want to go to that hellhole?
Lu Yibei thought, If it weren't for that truly ghostly experience, I would rather not have any contact with the Night Watch in this life.
Protecting the weak, upholding justice and all that, it's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm really not good at it.
Lu Yibei was self-aware. He felt that if someone like him were captured in battle, he wouldn't even last until the torture stage; he would betray the revolution directly during the coercion and enticement stage.
However, if the opponent is a urban legend, maybe there isn't even a coercion and enticement stage?
Hmm... this...
Then I can only betray them quickly before they torture me!
As long as I betray them fast enough, the torture won't catch up to me.
...
Before the lunch break ended, Du Sixian kept pulling Lu Yibei along, talking incessantly about everything from various urban legend anecdotes to her unpopular urban legend videos, making Lu Yibei's ears nearly callus.
They say dreams and reality are opposite, but Lu Yibei couldn't understand why Du Sixian was so talkative both online and offline.
After the lunch break, Lu Yibei used the excuse of returning to the classroom for class to escape Du Sixian's entanglement, but he didn't return to the teaching building. Instead, he turned around and left the school directly.
This isn't about whether he likes to study or not. The problem is, after receiving a bunch of useless information from Du Sixian, who could still listen to what the teacher was saying in the afternoon class?
Besides, during the school anniversary, everyone was skipping class, and the teachers were mostly absent-minded during class. Skipping one or two classes shouldn't be a problem.
Leaving through the Four Gate Main Street and turning left out of the school gate, Lu Yibei took the bus towards the 96 Cai Market.
Although Ju Meng's act of stealing his bank card was infuriating to Lu Yibei, this grudge couldn't be easily put down.
However, how does the saying go? To capture a person's heart, you must first capture her stomach!
Ju Meng is a mythical urban legend after all. As long as he keeps her stable, will he still worry about not getting the money back in ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) the future?

...
The bus departed from Huacheng Institute of Technology, stopping and starting along the way towards the 96 Cai Market near Peony Street.
Lu Yibei sat on the bus, resting his head on his hand, leaning against the window, watching the scenery outside rapidly receding.
As the bus passed the Hua City Museum, his gaze inadvertently swept across the sculptures in front of the museum. He saw tourists taking photos with cameras and suddenly remembered something, his eyes trembling slightly.
That's right, the camera!
My mind was filled with Du Sixian's trivial matters just now, and I completely forgot to look for the chat history of the last camera urban legend in the Monster Story Chat Group.
Thinking this, Lu Yibei quickly took out his phone, opened a certain goose chat app, and after searching for a while, he was slightly stunned.
It's gone? That Monster Story Chat Group is gone?
On the screen of the worn-out counterfeit phone, the chat app interface was displayed, but there was no message about being kicked out of the chat group, nor any notification that the chat group had been disbanded or blocked.
Lu Yibei knew that his counterfeit phone was too old and outdated, and it was very likely that information was delayed or lost. To be safe, he searched for the chat group's number again and finally confirmed that the Monster Story Chat Group had disappeared.
The chat group, which would have had 99+ messages from netizens as soon as he turned around, vanished as if it had never existed.
Could it be that the investigation by the Night Watch made some special entities in that chat group aware, and they destroyed the evidence in advance?
Lu Yibei stared at the phone screen and pondered for a moment. The bus's arrival reminder suddenly sounded in his ears, so he shrugged, put away his phone, and hurried off the bus.
Jiang Li is still investigating the Monster Story Chat Group matter, with the assistance of Du Sixian, that old group member. For now, he doesn't need to worry too much about it.
Lu Yibei thought, The most important thing now is to follow the mysterious girl's instructions and infiltrate the Bamboo Scroll Illusion. If there isn't too much danger, then save Gu Qianqian along the way.
...
The afternoon market always had a desolate atmosphere.
Passing through the main gate, the air suddenly became turbid, mixed with the smell of rotten vegetable leaves and raw meat.
The alleys, wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, were not overflowing with sewage or littered with debris, but they were stained with dirt.
At this hour, the market lacked the liveliness of the morning. Various stalls displayed meat and vegetables that were not particularly fresh. The vendors were huddled behind their stalls, either dozing on benches or smiling foolishly at their phones.
Markets are like this; once the peak hours pass, they lose their vitality, and even the flies circling in the air have a lazy feeling.
Lu Yibei walked through the market alleys, his eyes slightly hot.
The turbid air flowing, the eerie whispers of fish and shrimp in the pools, the eerie black shadows circling around the pork stalls—none of this could affect him anymore.
Lu Yibei thought, I even ate the core of a urban legend entity, so how can I not eat food entangled by unformed urban legend?
As they say, knowledge is power, and that is very true.
After studying the content of the si ye shu, Lu Yibei couldn't say much else, but he always felt that his courage had grown at least a little bit.
Not long after, Lu Yibei stopped in front of a stall selling pork bones. The vendor slowly put down his phone and stood up, forcing a standard business smile, “Little brother, do you want pork ribs? I recommend this piece...”
Lu Yibei glanced at the piece of pork ribs the vendor pointed to, then raised his hand and pointed to another piece that the vendor had placed in the corner, saying expressionlessly, “No, I want that one.”
Seeing this, the vendor frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, then forced an even more intense and theatrical smile on his face, “Little brother, that piece isn't good! It's too lean.”
“Little brother, I see you're not very old. You probably don't understand the tricks of the trade here, do you? Using this piece with even fat and lean meat will make the dish more fragrant!”
Lu Yibei looked at the piece of pork ribs the vendor pointed to, and then at the piece he had chosen.
The former had bright meat color and no strange black shadows circling around it, while the latter's surface was somewhat dry and wrapped in a dense black shadow.
“...”
For cooking, the piece with even fat and lean meat is indeed more fragrant, but that piece of yours isn't fresh!
But you ♦ are trying to rip me off, right?
The shadow of the unformed urban legend on it has completely dissipated. It's been at least a day, or even longer. Who knows what method you used to make it look so good!
Thinking this, Lu Yibei stared directly at the vendor. His expressionless face, coupled with his disdainful eyes, made the vendor feel uneasy. Then he said indifferently, “I want the one I chose.”
After saying that, under the vendor's resentful gaze, he contentedly took the piece of pork ribs that looked not very fresh but was the freshest on the entire stall.
Lu Yibei, as a student of the School of Literature, wasn't sure if advanced mathematics knowledge was useful when buying groceries.
However, judging from the current situation, the knowledge from the si ye book is very useful when buying groceries.
Lu Yibei wandered around the market for a while, using the knowledge from the si ye book to successfully buy the ingredients he needed for cooking in the evening. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, as if he was enveloped by a dark shadow.
He searched around with his eyes for a while, finally landing on the frozen food store where he had once seen “half a person” and had entrusted An Qing to investigate.
At this moment, the roller shutter of the frozen food store, which An Qing said had long been closed and out of business for a long time, had been opened by someone, leaving a gap half the height of a person.
His eyes slightly hot, Lu Yibei, relying on his inexplicably strong Spiritual Energy, vaguely saw unsettling shadows wriggling in the gap.
Lu Yibei thought, “...” What’s going on? That store is actually open!?
