Free Web NovelThe buzzing sound from the exploding talisman gradually faded in the sewer, and soon only the sound of rushing water remained. Far from being noisy, the sound of the water accentuated an unsettling quietness throughout the sewer.
In such a dark, damp, dirty, yet subtly silent environment, that bizarre cat meow became even more bone-chilling.
"Meow—!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The piercing cry echoed in the sewer, seeming far away, yet also seemingly in the shadow not far behind, like the noise formed by the mixed screams of hundreds of cats.
Following the strange explosion, Miss Rabbit and the Mysterious Man from the Eclipse Society, who wanted to meet the urban legend, also vanished amidst a bone-chilling cat meow.
Miss Rabbit crossed her arms over her chest, her slender arms completely unable to conceal her ample bosom. Her eyes slightly upturned at the corners, she glanced sideways at the man beside her and asked coldly, "What now? It seems your little friend doesn't want to meet you today."
"Moreover, they might even see that explosion just now as a trap set by you, hold a grudge against you, and never meet you again."
"This... haha, that's a bit tricky!" The man scratched the back of his head and chuckled foolishly, "In this situation, the Elder Council didn't provide a clear method of handling."
"But it's okay, this urban legend is just one of many potential targets. If we can't find it, we can just go look for the next one."
Can he not even tell I'm being sarcastic? Miss Rabbit shook her head helplessly.
This man's brain really has serious issues. Perhaps he's a Psychic pulled back from the brink of urban legend transformation by the Eclipse Society. I think I heard they have that kind of ability.
She pondered for a moment, then glanced sideways at the man with a contemptuous tone, "Since you don't know what to do, then listen to my command this time. First..."
As Miss Rabbit spoke, she suddenly felt that the several powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations on the ground had, in just a few minutes, been reduced to only one.
After eliminating the interference from other Spiritual Energy fluctuations, Miss Rabbit instantly recognized that familiar Spiritual Energy fluctuation came from the little thief who stole her witchs egg.
Upon recognizing the Spiritual Energy fluctuation from Lu Yibei, Miss Rabbit's face changed, her eyes instantly flashed with scarlet light, a pair of rabbit ears emerged from her long hair, her pink fists clenched, and her body trembled uncontrollably from extreme anger.
At this moment, the only thing she wanted to do was rush out, kill that damned little thief, and take back the witchs egg from her.
However, reason told her she couldn't do that.
Not to mention that the level of combat just now had exceeded the upper limit she could withstand, the mere fact that only the little thief's Spiritual Energy fluctuation remained on the ground was enough to instill fear.
A urban legend that had only recently been born, when facing three urban legend of comparable Spiritual Energy fluctuations alone, actually had the last laugh? Her growth rate is simply too astonishing!
Thinking of this, Miss Rabbit felt a sense of trepidation and a chill throughout her body.
How did she manage to silently hunt urban legend to supply her ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) own growth, without being affected by the side effects of devouring the core of a urban legend entity?
Could it be that some formidable character I don't know about is guiding her from behind?
If that's the case, then her act of stealing the witchs egg was probably not accidental, but a long-planned act under the guidance of some existence. Miss Rabbit thought with uncertainty and suspicion.
The Mysterious Man from the Eclipse Society watched Miss Rabbit's emotional fluctuations from the side, remaining silent for a long time, before finally unable to resist asking, "Have you decided what we should do next?"
Suddenly interrupted in her thoughts, Miss Rabbit impatiently glanced at the man beside her and said in a deep voice, "First, I want to go up and see what happened. If possible, I might need your help to kill a urban legend..."
Although Miss Rabbit was very wary of Lu Yibei, who could fight three and win, and the ruthless character guiding her in the dark, danger has always been accompanied by opportunity.
She didn't believe that the damned little thief could still be in good condition after defeating three urban legend of the same level.
Therefore, Miss Rabbit planned to observe from a distance first. If there was truly an opportunity, Miss Rabbit would definitely not show mercy.
Moreover, wasn't she accompanied by a powerful thug?
She had never been able to gauge the man's depth, which meant he possessed at least A-Level combat power.
And judging from his seemingly confused state, he might be even stronger. After all, generally speaking, the stronger the Psychic, the higher the risk of losing control of their mind.
"Help you kill a urban legend? Wait a moment, let me see what the Elder Council said before deciding if I can help you."
After speaking, the man took out his stack of annoying sticky notes again and buried his head in them. After a moment, he looked at Miss Rabbit and said, "The Elder Council said if it doesn't affect the mission, I can help you."
"Let's go, who are we killing? I can't wait!"
As the man spoke, a clear, calm glint suddenly flashed in his murky, numb eyes, as if in that instant, he transformed from a puppet who only knew how to carry out the Eclipse Society Elder Council's orders into someone with high combat intelligence.
That feeling of being watched by a hunter made Miss Rabbit pause for a moment. She then tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and said faintly, "Let's go take a look first, it's not necessarily necessary to take action..."
...
A mother marrying, the sky raining, these are things that cannot be controlled.
A sudden cold rain soaked Lu Yibei to the bone, and then the cool wind blew, freezing her thin little lips a bit purple. And at this time, the high temperature in her body that occasionally acted up, inconveniently played hide-and-seek again.
There was no way to play anymore. The Flower City Torment King, after all, couldn't cope with the torment brought by the magical and great power of nature.
After being drenched in the rain for a while, Lu Yibei had originally planned to bail out.
But before leaving, she always felt a little uneasy about the great sun mingwang statue and First Light Spring Wind Curse she used to set the trap.
These things are Spiritual Energy items. It would be troublesome if they were casually thrown away and picked up by children. Even if they weren't picked up by children, leaving them here would affect the flowers and plants. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Oh, right, and Headless Senior.
Leaving her here unconscious like this, it would be good if she was seen by people or urban legend, but if her head was carried away by wild cats or dogs, things would be troublesome.
Just as she was squatting beside Headless Senior, considering whether to dig a hole and bury her, or put her up in a tree somewhere out of sight, a series of footsteps reached her ears through the noisy rain.
Following the direction the sound came from, a huge, gloomy, oppressive shadow was rapidly approaching. Soon, accompanied by a strong burning pain in her eyes, a figure entered her field of vision.
The person was wearing a large, pitch-black raincoat, completely concealing whether the person underneath was tall or thin. The brim of the hood was pulled low, revealing half a face wearing a cheap plastic cartoon mask.

Beneath the raincoat, a pair of legs wearing dark red rain boots emerged, rushing forward, stirring up a string of rain and mud.
A metal club wrapped in barbed wire occasionally appeared in the flashing lightning, and around the person's body, an even larger shadow enveloped them, like a grudge from the abyss...
Even if such a person appeared beside Lu Yibei in broad daylight, she would try every means to walk around them, let alone on a stormy night like this.
She was so scared on the spot that her mind went blank, staring blankly at that figure.
What the heck? What's going on? There's actually a rain night butcher or something hidden in the school?
Was it that thing that injured Senior (female)? What should I do now?
Just as Lu Yibei was in a daze, that hideous figure had approached. The rain stirred up by its rapid movement splashed on her face, instantly bringing her back to her senses.
Without time to think, she forcefully stomped her feet on the ground and leaped backward, quickly taking out her Poker Pistol in mid-air and cocking it.
Then.
Because she used too much force and jumped too high, she rushed into the tree canopy above her head and got stuck in the tree...
Her limbs were suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to exert force, just swaying in the wind, looking a bit silly and awkward, indescribable.
No one wants this to happen, and Lu Yibei couldn't laugh at all. Her heart sank, and her face instantly turned pale.
It's over! I'm going to die! Why did I have to show off? Wasn't just standing up and running fine?
What now? Who knows what to do!
Shoot first! Find a way to stall for time and get down from the tree!
Thinking this, Lu Yibei raised the Poker Pistol in her hand, which had been modified by Master Chang, aimed it at the terrifying figure in front of her, and was about to pull the trigger, when she found that person suddenly stopped moving about ten meters away from her...
...
Gu Qianqian suddenly stopped because her mind was swelling from the system's pig-like screams in her head.
"It, it's a Disaster! Gu Qianqian, Gu Qianqian, stop quickly! Let's run! That old sly fox tricked us, we're going to die, we're going to die!"
Annoyed by the system's noise, Gu Qianqian stopped and looked at Lu Yibei hanging in the tree from a distance, pouting her small mouth, "But, look, isn't she hanging there unable to move?"
"A conspiracy, this is absolutely a conspiracy! You don't know, whether it's a poker face or being adorable, they are just her protective colors. Countless urban legend have died in her hands, deceived by her appearance!"
"Like that kind of thing, one second she's saying, Uncle, I want candy~, the next second, when people aren't paying attention, she's skilled at stabbing with a white knife and drawing a red knife!"
"..." Gu Qianqian glanced at the ancient camphor wood box soaked by the heavy rain at the base of the tree, then looked at Lu Yibei hanging in the tree, and said gloomily, "She doesn't look like that to me! System, how about we move a bit closer? If something is wrong, it's not too late to run!"
"Didn't you say that the things in the Bamboo Scroll Illusion are particularly important, and without them, the difficulty of preventing the world from being destroyed will increase by several levels?"
"This..." The system hesitated for a moment. Gu Qianqian was right, that thing was too important. Without it, the difficulty would directly jump from expert level to hell level.
While the system was hesitating, Gu Qianqian had already taken matters into her own hands, quickly walked forward, and picked up the ancient camphor wood box on the ground with both hands.
"System! Look, I got it! Nothing happened, right?" Gu Qianqian said proudly.
"Hiss—! This, this is..." The system stopped mid-sentence.
Just then, there was a soft sound in the darkness, like something sliding off a tree branch overhead.
Although the sound was very faint, almost imperceptible under the cover of the heavy rain, the system still heard it.
"Not good! There's a trap, Gu Qianqian, run quickly!"
The system exclaimed, and Gu Qianqian almost instinctively pushed back with her feet, her body instantly darting backward. The moment her figure disappeared from the original spot, two or three First Light Spring Wind Curses fell from the sky, silently dropping into the muddy water...
...
Lu Yibei had known for a long time that traps learned and applied from the internet on the fly couldn't be too reliable, and could only be used as a backup, but she didn't expect them to be this unreliable!
The trigger order of the trap could be messed up. The mingwang statue hadn't come down yet, but the talismans were exposed first. This is just absurd!
Clearly, without the pre-attack from the mingwang statue to briefly incapacitate the enemy, the enemy easily dodged.
This is definitely not my problem, it's that UP master's problem! Lu Yibei thought, I followed the steps in the video exactly!
If I die miserably this time, even if I turn into a ghost, I'll haunt that UP master, making him make videos twenty-four hours a day until he develops a physical aversion!
The greatest torment in life is not separation by death, but watching with your own eyes something you once loved gradually turn into the existence you fear and detest the most. The Flower City Torment King thought so.
However, while she was thinking, the black plastic bag hidden in the tree, filled with First Light Spring Wind Curses, finally fell down belatedly...
Lu Yibei, "..."
Failure, this time it's really too fail... Wait! Is that? Lu Yibei thought, and seeing what happened next, she was completely stunned.
As the black plastic bag fell, the mingwang statue, which was much later than the expected activation time, suddenly whistled out from under the dark tree canopy, hitting the black plastic bag squarely.
Under the heavy blow, the plastic bag burst open on the spot, dozens of talismans scattered everywhere, flying out along their trajectories, as if competing with the heavy rain in the sky, they "crackled" and sprinkled all over the ground around Gu Qianqian.
For a moment, Gu Qianqian's body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move. She looked at the ground full of talismans at her feet, which were gradually emitting a faint glow, then looked at Lu Yibei in the tree, "System..."
"Don't talk, I want to be quiet! You close your eyes too!"
"Why close my eyes?"
"Waiting to die..."
Anyway, she's killed me more than a dozen times, I'm used to it. The system thought.
