Free Web NovelThe system firmly believed in the understanding of Lu Yibei that it had summarized from dozens, or even more, deaths, so many that it could no longer remember.
It had once desperately hoped that it would make an error based on experience, but unfortunately, without exception, the Disaster was still that Disaster.
First, the person who fell into the trap would have their attention drawn by the suddenly dropped talismans, and then the subsequent mechanisms would be triggered with a delay. The system would absolutely not believe that such an ingenious trap was not prepared in advance!
And the talismans used in the trap were also talismans from Jumang, which perfectly confirmed the system's previous speculation about her.
She had indeed completed the hunt for the Jumang successor and had begun to master the various knowledge it possessed.
As for why she chose the First Light Spring Wind Curse, which wasn't particularly powerful, the system also knew the reason: poverty!
Among the knowledge mastered by the Jumang successor, this was probably the option with the easiest and cheapest raw materials to obtain.
Yes, based on the system's understanding of Lu Yibei, she was very poor, comparable in poverty to Gu Qianqian. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
After all, she wanted to master and use the power within her body without being harmed, which was very expensive. The savings her Old Dad left her were completely insufficient.
Metal to strengthen the physical body, spices to sublimate the soul, core to supplement Spiritual Energy, knowledge to understand the essence of the urban legend – which of these didn't cost money?
Ordinary metals, spices, and knowledge that could be found in books used in the early stages were still alright. When materials containing Spiritual Energy and knowledge beyond human comprehension were needed, the cost would increase exponentially.
The amount of money spent then would be astronomical! Otherwise, would I be raising Gu Qianqian with such difficulty?
Ah—! I'm overthinking, it's like a life review before death. The system sighed inwardly.
Those First Light Spring Wind Curses have already reacted with my Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Soon, Gu Qianqian and I will be covered in wounds, right?
At that time, the Disaster will shed her innocent disguise, reveal her ferocious claws and fangs, and jump down to finish us off, right?
I remember she said before, if you're not active in finishing off, there's a problem with your thinking!
Thinking of this, the system emptied its mind, allowing the dazzling green light emanating from the First Light Spring Wind Curses to envelop it, letting the energy, which was as gentle as a warm breeze on a bright spring day but had considerable destructive power against urban legend, impact its body.
All of this was already over...
...
Like a spring breeze and fine rain, gently patting the body and moistening the soul.
When she was enveloped by that emerald green light, besides the strong impact, Gu Qianqian didn't feel any particular pain; in fact, she felt somewhat comfortable.
That comfortable feeling made her cheeks flush and slightly warm. The little deer in her heart ran wild like it was celebrating, and her eyes also became hazy.
In a trance, in a pink world, she saw a young man slowly walking towards her. Although he was expressionless, like a face paralysis, Gu Qianqian felt that he was smiling.
A gentle smile.
"You, what do you want to do?" Gu Qianqian said, both flustered and inexplicably anticipating.
"Shh!" The young man made a shushing gesture and said in a magnetic voice, "Don't talk, kiss me!"
As he spoke, he walked in front of her, lightly kissed her forehead, unbuttoned her Coat, and embraced her body...
Afterward, everything scattered like a broken mirror, just like a spring dream vanishing with the clouds and flying flowers drifting with the water. She saw that dazzling light again, and a feeling of weakness and powerlessness came from her body, as if she had been drained dry.
...
When all the First Light Spring Wind Curses scattered around Gu Qianqian exploded, Lu Yibei realized that Ju Meng had definitely cut corners and added private goods when making the talismans!
Otherwise, who could explain the scene before her eyes?
Lu Yibei had witnessed the explosion of less than ten First Light Spring Wind Curses together, and the effect wasn't very strong; it looked like someone had thrown a few flashbangs.
However, at this moment...
It was as if strong acid and strong alkali were mixed together, a lump of ice was thrown into a pot of oil, or a cyber police officer entered a chat group of silly netizens...
Anyway, the scene was as chaotic as a messy idiom game.
Dozens of First Light Spring Wind Curses exploded at once, emitting light that was as thick as boiled emerald green liquid in mid-air. It collided with Gu Qianqian's and the system's Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and then the power within the light seemed to be enraged, erupting with an indescribable impact.
Lu Yibei could feel something in her body vibrating along, even from a distance of over ten meters, and her eyes were filled with blinding light.
That light was so pure, so brilliant, as if witnessing the blooming of spring flowers and the reproduction of all things in an instant.
That dazzling emerald green, containing a rich life force, instantly turned into a thick smoke.
After her eyes adjusted to the strong light and she saw the smoke in front of her, which was much thicker than the previous times, Lu Yibei inwardly thought, 'This is bad.' Such a large amount of smoke probably meant incomplete combustion and insufficient power.
According to the law of no damage with smoke, that urban legend just now probably wouldn't die!
As she was thinking about how to rush up and finish it off, suddenly, from the vast thick smoke, came a screaming sound like a skyrocket, followed by several golden lines shooting up into the sky, outlining a familiar figure in mid-air.
Although that figure was slightly petite, she could be considered naturally beautiful. Wearing a loose long robe, it was still difficult to conceal her distinct curves.
That's right, that figure was Ju Meng herself. In her hand, she was holding a banner with the large seal script characters 【Produced in Taoyuan】 written on it.
Convinced! Truly convinced! Lu Yibei thought. She had never expected that in such a serious situation as attacking a urban legend with talismans, Ju Meng would secretly set up an advertising segment!
Damn it, Smelly ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Girl, who are you showing this advertisement to?
What's the difference between this behavior and showing your Card to the opponent halfway through a game?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, the smoke in front had already dispersed. Gu Qianqian, covered in dust and with tattered clothes from the talisman explosion, was lying on the ground, panting heavily, and her eyes looking at Lu Yibei were a little strange.
Gu Qianqian was a Psychic and still within the scope of humans. The First Light Spring Wind Curse did not cause as much damage to her as it did to the system.
Despite this, during the impact of the explosion just now, her internal organs were still significantly shaken. To counteract the impact, her Spiritual Energy was also completely exhausted, and she was on the verge of shock and collapse.
Seeing Gu Qianqian lying on the ground, Lu Yibei's face paled slightly, and her eyes widened.
How is it her? What is she doing!? Attacking me dressed like this in the middle of the night.
Is it because of those three yuan and two mao?
Lu Yibei thought doubtfully, calculating in her mind that she would have to ask Gu Qianqian for the reason for doing this later, but she never expected that she would not have such an opportunity.
...
After the smoke from the talisman explosion dissipated, Lu Yibei's attention was focused on the dying Gu Qianqian, completely unaware that beside her, the strange objects scattered on the ground were gradually emitting a faint light.
That dark red faint light, like a mercury-like liquid, slowly flowed along the surface of the bamboo slip, inexplicably giving rise to the thought that "it's full."
When Lu Yibei's eyes began to ache intensely, as if being pulled and forced to look at the bamboo slip, the air around the bamboo slip had already produced imperceptible ripples.
The ripples, circle after circle, surged towards the bamboo slip from all directions, outlining a phantom, unformed vortex. freewēbnoveℓ.com
A few seconds later, the rain, mist, and thick smoke around the bamboo slip quickly converged towards the bamboo slip, merging into a phantom vortex, a vortex that was frantically absorbing Spiritual Energy and surrounding objects.
Through it, one could vaguely see a cold, damp world behind, undulating black mountains, blood-red lanterns all over the mountains and plains, and an infinitely dark and deep sinkhole with countless cave-like labyrinths, as if containing countless filthy and evil shadows.
At this moment, the Headless Senior was bound by those strange chains. Lu Yibei was like a Monkey, clinging tightly to the tree trunk, desperately resisting the pulling force, which was like seven or eight close friends insisting on dragging you to an internet cafe to grind ranks all night.
But Gu Qianqian and the system had nothing. They also had no strength left to resist the terrifying pulling force coming from the bamboo slip. They could only be swept into that vortex along with the scattered dead leaves, branches, and turf, their figures gradually becoming ethereal.
In the slight Stunned of Lu Yibei, as if it were an illusion, she saw a vague black great snake, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to come from the wilderness, causing the blood in her body to boil as if to resist it, and her body temperature also rose to a frightening degree.
The big tree behind her began to carbonize, her Coat flew off on its own, unable to withstand the high temperature. The moment Lu Yibei fell from the tree, the phantom of the black great snake suddenly opened its terrifying bloody maw and swallowed Gu Qianqian's figure in one gulp.
In an instant, the terrifying pulling force dissipated. The surrounding streets were as empty, desolate, and silent as if a vacuum had been created. Even the heavy rain only fell to the ground again a few seconds later.
Lu Yibei stood under the big tree, staring blankly in the direction of the bamboo slip, until her body temperature gradually cooled down and the warm rain that was no longer being evaporated no longer hit her face. Only then did she suddenly come back to her senses and realize that Gu Qianqian had really been swallowed by that strange bamboo slip.
This... does this count as me indirectly setting her up? Lu Yibei thought. But these damn traps, talismans, Poker Pistols, were all prepared for that strange Old man.
How was I supposed to know that she also wanted that bamboo slip? With our relationship, she could have just told me if she wanted it. If she told me, there's no way I wouldn't give it to her!
Now that she's been swallowed by the bamboo slip, she's probably dead. I can only go back to Lion Mountain Cemetery and help her choose a good feng shui spot to set up a memorial mound, as compensation.
Lu Yibei's thoughts surged and intertwined, each thought consciously or unconsciously trying to absolve herself, but in the end, she overcame the constantly rising guilt in her heart.
Damn it! This situation is different from smashing the urban legend that invaded the house, burning the four suicidal people from Shihekou Middle School to death, leaving a mark on Du Sixian's forehead, and splitting the urban legend-ified Lu Xu in half with one slash!
I have to find a way to save her, not find a way to shift the blame.
But...
A hint of gloom suddenly flashed in Lu Yibei's eyes.
But how can I save her?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, the manhole cover not far away suddenly popped open with a "Bang!". Two figures shot out from the manhole cover and landed steadily in front.
One was a seductive woman wearing something rather provocative and with a pair of rabbit ears on her head, and the other was a man in a dark blue suit, with a fair complexion but dull eyes, as if his brain wasn't quite right.
Both of them looked over here simultaneously, with playful smiles on their faces. A sense of foreboding rose in Lu Yibei's heart...
