Free Web NovelAlthough Lu Yibei felt a strange aura emanating from that Miss, and also sensed a hint of unsettling atmosphere, she didn't know exactly what kind of crisis she had just experienced.
All she knew was that ever since her brief close encounter with that Agent One, Shui Ge had become completely tense and left the Night Watch area at the fastest possible speed.
As he left, he held onto Lu Yibei's hand tightly, as if afraid that if he let go even slightly, she would fly away and disappear.

Bai Kai drove Lu Yibei, starting from Peony Street, and headed all the way towards the edge of the city.
Bai Kai didn't say a word along the way. The car was oppressively and terrifyingly quiet. Lu Yibei seemed to have also sensed something and wisely closed her mouth, which usually seemed like a perpetual motion machine.
Halfway through the journey, the pendant around Lu Yibei's neck snapped into several pieces with a'snap'. Bai Kai saw this in the rearview mirror, said nothing, but just silently stepped on the gas pedal, speeding up.
More than twenty minutes later, the car finally drove out of the Hua City downtown area. The concrete jungle outside the window gradually thinned out, and Bai Kai let out a long sigh of relief, pulling the car over to the side of the road.
He wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants leg, adjusted his emotions, and then turned around, looking at Lu Yibei with a smile.
"Xiao Bei, congratulations, you are completely safe now."
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, tilting her head in confusion, "Ah? Shui Ge, what do you mean by that? Speaking of which, what was going on with that Miss just now? I saw that both you and Leader were quite afraid of her."
"Heh..." Bai Kai gave a bitter smile, "Of course we're afraid of her. Didn't you know, before I joined the Night Watch, she was already..."
"No, her existence might be even earlier. It is said that a long time ago, when the person responsible for selecting the site for the Hua City Night Watch entered that old ancestral hall, she was already living there."
Hearing Bai Kai say this, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment and pressed, "Is she a Strange Tale?"
"Not exactly..." Bai Kai frowned and explained, "She is indeed human at the moment, but she is closer to a Strange Tale than an ordinary Psychic..."
At this point, Bai Kai paused slightly, silently swallowing the more details that were on the tip of his tongue.
If the proportion of urban legend and humans in the bodies of ordinary Psychic is basically maintained at fifty-fifty, then Agent One has reached an astonishing eighty-twenty split.
Logically speaking, she should have lost control and turned into a Strange Tale long ago, but she just didn't. Bai Kai didn't know how she did it, so he simply didn't tell Lu Yibei.
Based on his understanding of Lu Yibei, although she didn't have great wisdom, she was surprisingly full of mischievous ideas.
If she knew about the strangeness in the Miss, combined with the special circumstances where she herself had similar characteristics, she might just do something extremely reckless.
"To some extent, this Agent One is the gatekeeper of the Hua City Night Watch, even more terrifying than the Spiritual Energy warning devices hidden in the dark." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"However, you don't need to worry now. She didn't point out any problems with you just now, and we've walked for so long without anyone chasing us. This means the most dangerous moment has passed."
"From now on..." Bai Kai looked at the scenery outside the car window and said slowly, "Just be careful to hide your identity. Also..."
Seeing Bai Kai's hesitant look, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, and then saw him turn around with teary eyes, grabbing her hands.
Lu Yibei, "???"
"Xiao Bei Bei! You have to be more careful in the future! Don't ever believe the nonsense of those boys. I have the most experience in this area. So-called love at first sight is just lust, and growing fond of someone over time is just weighing the pros and cons."
"From now on, don't go to places with few people alone. When you're alone with a boy, never drink drinks from unknown sources, and also..."
"Stop, stop!" Lu Yibei finally couldn't stand Bai Kai's look of an old father worrying about his own cabbage being taken by a pig, and interrupted loudly, "I, Lu Yibei, am not interested in men."
"What if?"
"There's no what if!"
"Then, should godfather buy you some clothes to change into? You should..."
"Scram!"
Lu Yibei suddenly felt that Shui Ge seemed even more difficult to deal with after seeing her like this than before.
————
After learning from Lu Yibei that she had a way to change back to her original appearance the next morning, Bai Kai took her to a villa area in the suburbs of Hua City, where nine out of ten houses were empty, and settled her down.
After handing the key to Lu Yibei, Bai Kai hurried back to Peony Street. On the surface, Lu Yibei was still in the small room at the Night Watch, waiting to adapt to the rejection reaction of the Spirit Mark. He couldn't leave for too long.
This semi-abandoned villa area was quite deserted. There were no security guards in the community, and all the gates were always open. Following the house number given by Bai Kai, Lu Yibei quickly found the villa.
The villa had a total of 3 floors and a large garden, backed by a mountain, with a quiet environment.
Lu Yibei heard Bai Kai say that this villa belonged to a wealthy friend of his. She initially didn't understand why Shui Ge had the key to his friend's villa.
But when she held the key, opened the door and walked into the villa, and saw the luxurious and magnificent decoration inside, making her feel as if she were in an ancient castle, as well as the huge portrait of a charming aunt in the center of the living room, she suddenly understood.
As expected of the King of Kings, the friend of Hua City women, my godfather is amazing! I'm really not envious at all! Lu Yibei thought.
————
That night, in a villa community in the suburbs of Hua City.
As night fell, this villa, where the living room was arranged like the training room of an e-sports team, suddenly became lively.
Seven or eight figures wearing black cloaks and funny skull badges came and went, sometimes chatting and laughing with each other, and sometimes sitting by the computers, studying tables with strange titles.
A tall and thin man with dark circles under his eyes sat in the corner of the room, with dozens of windows open on the three screens in front of him, playing various Strange Tale videos and live streams, interspersed with two otaku dance videos, three virtual streamers, and two windows of a certain gentleman's manga Website.
"A Se (Old Pervert), quick, help me analyze this, I'm about to die of anxiety!"
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice sounded behind the man. The man was stunned for a moment, hurriedly closed several windows, and then turned around to look at the Cat-Eared Girl with a worried face.
"What's wrong with you again? Did Wang Bu Liu Xing cause trouble for you again, or did she report the chat group again?"
The girl rolled her eyes, "It would be fine if she came to bother me, but the bad thing is, she didn't show up today. Don't you think this is strange?"
"Wait!" The man frowned and interrupted, "You mean, she didn't report you today, and you feel uneasy instead?"
"Yeah! Don't you think it's strange?" The Cat-Eared Girl tilted her head.
"..." The man silently stared at the girl for a few seconds and said seriously, "Honestly, are you just asking for trouble?"
The Cat-Eared Girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in her vertical pupils. The next moment, accompanied by a flash of cold light, three blood streaks appeared on the man's face.
————
A moment later.
"Hiss—hiss—!"
The man covered his face, sucking in cold air, and said weakly, "Tell me, what do you want to do? You're not just trying to find an excuse to torment me, are you?"
"Hmph! Am I that kind of cat?" The Cat-Eared Girl crossed her arms over her chest and snorted coldly, "Quickly check where Wang Bu Liu Xing is now, and I'll go there myself to see."
"If a key target on the red list runs away the day before the review, Void will definitely punish me."
"Alright..." The man reluctantly agreed, turned around, and leaned over the computer, logging into that magical Website and operating quickly.
Just as the man was seriously searching for Wang Bu Liu Xing's current location, the phone in the Cat-Eared Girl's pocket suddenly vibrated twice with a "buzz".
She took out her phone and glanced at it. After seeing the notification sent by the garbled account, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading record. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Reported!
It seems Wang Bu Liu Xing didn't run!
————
On the other side, in a rich woman's villa in the outer suburbs of Hua City.
Lu Yibei was wearing a bathrobe and lying on a chaise longue, playing with her phone.
Hours before, after nervously wandering around the house a few times, she returned to the villa, found a room that looked good, and threw herself onto the soft bed.
She had only intended to rest for a while, but unknowingly, she fell into a deep sleep and woke up in the early hours of the morning.
Taking off the dress that was so tight around her chest it made her feel like she was suffocating, she quickly took a shower, changed into a bathrobe, replied to Shui Ge's dozen or so caring text messages, and then remembered something important.
So.
Taking out her phone, fingerprint unlocking, opening the app, finding a certain group, reporting in the upper right corner, a series of actions flowed smoothly and skillfully.
After reporting the New urban legend Chat Group review group, Lu Yibei felt the discomfort, like a small thorn stuck in her throat, gradually dissipate.
Comfortable! So comfortable!
People need to have dreams to live. What if one day the report is successful?
Lu Yibei thought, just as she was about to put down her phone, she received a private message from a certain cat manager.
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: You finally appeared! I thought you didn't dare to confront me anymore?
Lu Yibei, "..." You're not right, you seem unusually arrogant today!
【One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: Dear Wang Bu Liu Xing, as a member on the red list, according to the regulations, we will inform you of the review content before the review to give you ample time to prepare.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: Can I not go?
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: You wish! I warn you, don't try to leave the group, you can't run away!
Wang Bu Liu Xing: #TD
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats:???
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: Do you think I'm an idiot?
system notification: The other party has enabled friend verification, you are not yet their friend, please send a friend verification request first.
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: (╯°Д°)╯︵┴┴┴┴】
Lu Yibei put down her phone and sneered in her heart.
Only an idiot would go to a chat group like yours that harms people so much and holds some inexplicable review!
I just won't go, what can you do to me?
Are you going to come and chop me down through the internet cable?
——————
"Did you find it? Wang Bu Liu Xing's location? I'm going to let her know what online violence (physical) is today!"
The Cat-Eared Girl said angrily, and with a "bang!", she slammed her phone heavily on the table.
The tall and thin man removed his hands from the keyboard, turned around, and said seriously, "Are you sure? I don't think you can beat her."
"How do you know if you don't fight? If you have the guts, let's have a match!"
"Alright!" The man said, pulling back the curtain and pointing outside, "If Void's ability isn't wrong, she should be on the other side of the community. Hurry up and go! Waiting for your good news!"
"I..." The Cat-Eared Girl was speechless for a moment, her face flushed, and after holding it in for a long time, she said loudly, "Let's let her off the hook today. After all, she is a key target on the red list. What if she gets damaged?"
"Heh..."
The man sneered, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw cold claws extending from the Cat-Eared Girl's small hands, and he swallowed the second "heh" word back with difficulty.
Seeing this, the Cat-Eared Girl pouted and continued, "Speaking of which, why is she around here? Could it be that she discovered our existence?"
Hearing this, the man's expression became serious, "I think it's a coincidence, but I don't rule out the possibility that she discovered this place."
"Maybe her level is even higher than Void's pre-assessment!"
"In that case..." The Cat-Eared Girl propped her chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and pondered for two seconds, "Since she doesn't want to voluntarily accept the review and doesn't pick up the ghost coins I throw, and I can't fight... uh, I don't want to conflict with her, then we can only use the alternative plan!"
————
Lu Yibei was very sure that she had blocked "One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats", but she didn't know what strange method she used to become her friend.
When she saw the avatar of "One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats" bouncing in her friend list, she felt completely unwell.
Holding her phone, after much hesitation, she finally clicked on the message.
There's no escaping it. Those ghostly things always find a way to contact her.
【One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: Wang Bu Liu Xing, do you know that not joining us will be a major loss for you.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: So what exactly do you do? You're probably not just a simple Strange Tale interest discussion group, are you?
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: We are of course not just a simple chat group.
Wang Bu Liu Xing:?
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: Bah! Don't mislead me! In short, there are many benefits to joining us!
Wang Bu Liu Xing: Benefits? Like? Can you make money?
One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats; Of course you can make money, but that's just a very small part of the benefits. You will gain more things.
For example, don't you want to know why your Leader likes playing mahjong so much?】
Lu Yibei, "..."
Why would I want to know that? To cater to her preferences and bribe Leader?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, her phone vibrated again.
【One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats: For example, as a Strange Tale, don't you want to know how to make up for your own flaws in the safest and most reliable way?】
Lu Yibei, "..."
No need, I have this myself! The Great Serpent God's knowledge is so rich, as long as I slowly interpret it, I will definitely know more than you.
Seeing that Lu Yibei didn't reply for a long time, One Hundred and Two-Thirds Cats seemed to be brewing some big move, remained silent for a long time, and then sent her a new message.
That message, like a storm brewing for a long time in tranquility, instantly changed Lu Yibei's expression.
