Free Web Novel"Then do you know Jiang Li?"
"No..."
Several unfamiliar names appeared consecutively. When the girl mentioned Jiang Li, Lu Yibei subconsciously wanted to deny it. Then, she came back to her senses and looked at the girl expressionlessly, saying, "Not too familiar."
"That's good, that's good..." When the girl heard that Lu Yibei was not too familiar with Jiang Li, she nodded repeatedly and let out a long sigh of relief, looking as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her heart.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei slightly furrowed her brows and pressed, "What's wrong? Is she also suitable to become a dependent?"
"No!" The girl shook her head with a solemn expression. "To be precise, she is the most unsuitable person to become a dependent. I mentioned her because I wanted to tell you, be careful of Jiang Li!"
"However, fortunately, you don't have much interaction with her now. Just try to avoid her in the future."
Lu Yibei, "..." What you are saying now is probably a bit late. I am already her person, uh, referring to work matters at the Night Watch.
"Uh, can I ask if there is anything wrong with her?" Lu Yibei asked weakly.
"I can't say for sure either." The girl said thoughtfully. "Some things are too early to tell you now. However, if you have a chance to see Jiang Li naked, be sure to pay attention to her chest, lower abdomen, and back to see if there are any special marks or symbols."
"Chest, lower abdomen, and back? Naked?" Lu Yibei looked at the girl with a strange sideways glance, saying, "Friend, I'm saying you must be joking with me, right?"
How ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) am I supposed to see her naked!?
Sneak into the women's bathhouse? If Jiang Li saw me after I became a Strange Tale, the bathhouse would probably be covered in blood, right?
Just as Lu Yibei was thinking, a slightly lewd smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face. "That's very simple. You can think of a way to sleep with her!"
Lu Yibei, "???"
How am I supposed to do that? Rush into her office and shout, "Leader, I want to sleep with you"?
My method would at most lead to death. If I follow what she said, I would probably wish I were dead.
"Ha—!" The girl waved her hand and chuckled softly, "Don't mind it, that was just a joke this time, don't take it to heart."
Lu Yibei, "..." That joke wasn't funny at all!
"Also..."
"Wait a moment!"
The girl was about to continue explaining to Lu Yibei, but Lu Yibei suddenly remembered something and raised her hand to interrupt her.
"You've asked me so many questions, I also have a question I want to ask you."
"Uh, go ahead," the girl nodded slightly.
"Do you know about a strange Bamboo Scroll that is filled with special characters from ethnic minorities in the southeastern region? Some urban legend carrying red lanterns will run out of it, and... and can even suck people in!"
If the mysterious girl knew about the Bamboo Scroll, maybe she could ask her if Gu Qianqian could still be saved.
Since there is an opportunity to try, how can I do nothing? Lu Yibei thought.
The girl frowned upon hearing this. "Bamboo Scroll... strange, a Bamboo Scroll that can suck people in, I seem to have heard of it somewhere. Let me think!"
The girl rested her chin in her hand and thought for a while, then looked at Lu Yibei and said, "I can't remember it right now. Do you have any more detailed information?"
"..." Lu Yibei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Immediately after, she simply described to the girl the content on the Bamboo Scroll that she knew through Ju Meng's translation, as well as the illusion she saw the first time she came into contact with the Bamboo Scroll.
The girl listened and thought in silence for a moment, her eyes slightly brightening. "I remember now! I know where I heard about that Bamboo Scroll!"
That kid Su Yigan seemed to have mentioned it to me once before. The knowledge of those gods he possessed came from an illusion created by a Bamboo Scroll.
She hasn't been able to control the power within her body yet. If she had that knowledge, she could speed up the mastery and be less likely to make mistakes when completing the deficiencies.
Since she doesn't know Su Yigan, it might be more reliable to let her get it herself, rather than exchanging with Su Yigan intermittently.
Thinking this, the girl grabbed Lu Yibei's shoulder, looked her in the eyes, and said solemnly, "That's a good place! You have to find a way to get in there. There is some knowledge that is very useful to you!"
"What?" Lu Yibei asked blankly.
"Aren't you worried that if you misuse the power in your body, you might accidentally die?" The girl curled her lips and said, "That knowledge can help you not die so easily! It can also let you know how to control your power."
At least for a long time, it can. As for the future... there will be other opportunities in the future! the girl added in her heart.
Lu Yibei nodded. "That sounds very reliable. Then do you know how to get in?"
Whether it's the magical knowledge the girl mentioned or rescuing Gu Qianqian, I have to find a way to get into the Bamboo Scroll Illusion first, right? Lu Yibei thought.
"Ah, this..." The girl was speechless for a moment and muttered to herself, that kid Su Yigan is full of secrets and is not willing to share them easily. He always needs to exchange for benefits. He's a complete miser.
Information like how to enter the Bamboo Scroll, which is very important to him but irrelevant to me, how could I bear to spend a lot of money to exchange for it!
The girl was secretly calculating how to make up an excuse to fool Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei looked at her, frowning and pursing her lips, as if she was up to something, and was also preparing to expose her.
Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A storm without a source descended.
In the sky, a layer of desolate white fog had spread at some point. Under the shroud of the great fog, the ink-colored dark clouds were stirred by the storm, surging and rolling.
That was a phenomenon formed by the convergence of a massive amount of disordered Spiritual Energy. Countless chaotic Spiritual Energy was converging frantically, and finally, a rift suddenly opened in the dome directly above the high-rise rooftop.
Beyond that rift, in a distant place that the eye could not capture, faint light seemed to fall, enveloping the mysterious girl.
The next moment, something seemed to be awakened, and a vast whale song came from the sea of clouds where countless chaotic Spiritual Energy had converged.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning was born out of thin air, like an evil dragon, thrashing its claws through the dark clouds, stretching for several miles, continuously unleashing destructive power in all directions.
Along with the appearance of the abnormality, countless terrifying roars and maddening whispers instantly echoed in Lu Yibei's mind. Although she couldn't understand what those roars and whispers were saying, she could clearly feel the emotions they wanted to convey. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
They were very angry, only angry and nothing but angry, hysterically angry!
That rage, reaching deep into the soul, brought Lu Yibei great unease and a sense of oppression, even causing her legs to tremble slightly.
And upon further exploration, she discovered that the source of that rage was actually from the other side of the sky.
What is this? What's going on? What should I do?
Lu Yibei looked at the mysterious girl beside her, who was enveloped in a faint light and had a solemn expression. She endured the discomfort caused by the roars and whispers in her mind and asked in a low voice.
"Friend, looking at this situation, have you done too many things that anger both heaven and man, and even God can't stand it anymore and is going to strike you dead with lightning?"
"Did you dig up someone's ancestral grave? Kidnap a minor girl? Or beat up a centenarian?"
The girl glanced at Lu Yibei and said with a wry smile, "I've done all of those things you mentioned, and even worse, as bad as it can be, much worse than you can imagine."
Let alone a centenarian, I've even beaten up a five-thousand-three-hundred-year-old man, but I have a clear conscience doing so. The girl added in her heart.
Worse than I imagined? Eek—! Isn't that a bit too much? A true pervert! Lu Yibei's thin lips slightly opened, wanting to speak but stopping, stopping but wanting to speak again, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth.
"People shouldn't... at least shouldn't... forget it, you are really a big villain!" Lu Yibei said disdainfully. "Since that's the case, please stay far away and don't involve me!"
After saying that, she jumped a step to the side, then cupped her hands together like a megaphone and put them to her mouth, shouting towards the sky, "Hey! Aim straight, I'm really not familiar with her!"
"Boom—!"
Just as Lu Yibei's words fell, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, like an iron plow turning the earth. The lightning was substantial, sweeping across the high-rise rooftop, leaving a scorched mark over ten meters long and two to three meters wide.
The end of that scorched mark was less than a handspan away from Lu Yibei's toes.
For a moment, a foul-smelling dense smoke filled the air, and small electric snakes scattered. She was covered in sweat.
Lu Yibei, "..."
I didn't do anything against heaven and reason, why are you striking me?! Do you want to say, "First, I'm not called 'Hey'!"?
Just as Lu Yibei was in a daze, she heard the girl's voice in her ear.
"Lu Yibei, it seems there's no time to tell you more. In short, remember two things. First, find a way to get into the Bamboo Scroll Illusion and obtain that magical knowledge."
"Second, stay away from Jiang Li. Even if you have to interact with her, at least don't trust her too much!"
"Finally..."
When the girl said this, she suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, and her eyes were stained with a deep sadness. Her entire aura also showed a momentary slump.
"If Jiang Li really does something unfavorable to you, you must, no... I beg you, don't kill Jiang Li."
After saying that, she bent down and picked up the black staff at her feet that no longer had the silver decoration at the top. Then, she tapped the ground with her toe, and with a burst of sound, she soared into the sky, flying towards the rift torn open by the storm above the firmament.
The next moment, it was as if the deepest night had fallen before Lu Yibei's eyes, plunging her into an impenetrable darkness.
...
Lu Yibei woke up amidst a bumpy ride. Opening her eyes, she was surprised to find herself sitting in a taxi. Everything that had just happened felt like a bizarre dream that had occurred during a nap in the car.
Then, she heard a familiar voice from the driver's seat.
"Awake? Tell me, where exactly do you want to go?"
"Uncle Zhang Shan, when did I... Uh, how am I in your car?" Lu Yibei asked blankly.
Zhang Shan, "..."
It's starting, it's starting, she's starting to play dumb!
She's been in the car for over an hour, and the meter has almost reached a hundred yuan. Is she trying to get out of paying again?
