Free Web NovelHow could we have a say in front of a potential contender for the King of Hua City? Whatever she says goes! Burlap Sack Face thought.
Of course, it's best to be able to get away smoothly without conflict! If the winning chance hasn't reached one hundred and twenty percent, can you call it a winning chance? Lu Yibei thought.
After "friendly and cordial" communication and contact, Lu Yibei and the two urban legend reached a consensus—they are their own people, and whoever opposes it won't work!
After a brief silence, the three urban legend all turned their gaze to Qin Dalin, who was tied to the chair, weak and helpless but not at all pitiful.
"Then, what do you think we should do with this human now?" Peeling Skin pointed at Qin Dalin, looking fawning, waiting for Lu Yibei's response.
“......”
They seem to have already considered me a companion with slightly stronger strength, and have a hint of fear and awe towards me?
This is good too. As long as I continue to maintain a powerful image in their minds, I can observe the situation, obtain useful information, and also fish in troubled waters, and get away at the appropriate time.
Lu Yibei thought, crossing her arms over her chest, her chin slightly raised, adopting an arrogant posture of "looking at people through her nostrils," and said indifferently, "I have my own plans. You all go wait outside first."
"This... You won't let him go, right? If he doesn't die, we won't be able to report back to Li!"
"That's right, that's right. I think you wouldn't want to offend Li, right?" Peeling ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) Skin probed, his muddy eyes rolling around in their sockets.
“......” freewēbnoveℓ.com
Lu Yibei pondered for two seconds, turned her back, found a way of speaking that was more in line with her current aura, and said coldly, "Hmph, whether he is happy or not, what does it have to do with me?"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and scram!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she started to worry a little, and her peripheral vision couldn't help but sneak a look at the two urban legend in the room.
Although the books are all written like this, and the anime is all acted like this, is it a bit too much?
Even a cornered rabbit bites! Let alone two urban legend? What if they are accidentally provoked and become violent and injure people? I'm a little panicked.
After all, existences like urban legend don't talk about chivalry at all. Sneak attacks from behind and swarming are common occurrences. Lu Yibei thought nervously.
Peeling Skin, Burlap Sack Face, "......"
Oh no, I think I said the wrong thing!
This Demoness seems to disdain Li? When mentioning Li, she didn't even have a hint of emotional fluctuation...
Fortunately, she is more benevolent than expected. If it were other urban legend of the same level, they would probably be playing with our urban legend' core bodies by now.
The two urban legend secretly observed Lu Yibei for a second or two without saying a word, only feeling that her Spiritual Energy fluctuation was very strong, but they couldn't see the actual depth, and quickly gave up the idea of probing and disobeying her will.
They respectfully bowed to Lu Yibei's back, rolled up a gust of Yin wind, and floated out of the room in a ghostly manner.
Lu Yibei silently sensed the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the two urban legend with her spiritual sense. After confirming that they had gone far, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, carried Qin Dalin from the chair, and turned to walk towards the secret passage.
Although she had temporarily sent the two urban legend away, she actually hadn't thought about how to deal with the unconscious Qin Dalin at all.
It's impossible to just let Qin Dalin go. With the messed-up things he's done, if she let him go, Lu Yibei's conscience wouldn't allow it.
But if she were to kill Qin Dalin herself, Lu Yibei felt that after all, he was a living person, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.
What's more, she wasn't 100% sure that Li, who sent Peeling Skin and Burlap Sack Face to attack Qin Dalin, was the one who took the ancient sword. Maybe she still had to get information from Qin Dalin's mouth.
After weighing it for a moment, Lu Yibei decided to first imprison Qin Dalin in the secret room he built himself.
“......”
First, follow those two urban legend to see. If I find the person who took the ancient sword, I won't come back. If I can't find them, I'll come back and ask him properly. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lu Yibei looked at Qin Dalin in the cage. After weighing it for a moment, she took out a small bottle of calamity water she carried with her from her jacket pocket, pried open his mouth, and dripped a drop in.
For a high-intensity hallucinogen like calamity water, polluting Spiritual Energy is an incidental effect. The most common use is to put someone down and prevent them from waking up.
Just one drop is enough to make Qin Dalin intoxicated for half a month.
After feeding Qin Dalin a drop of calamity water, Lu Yibei still felt a little uneasy.
Although he couldn't leave by himself, what if someone came to rescue him?
For example, the Older sister who lives in the building, or the woman with the birthmark on her face.
Thinking of this, she cast a Spell again, welding the iron doors of the two entrances to the secret room shut. Only then did she feel slightly relieved and leave the secret room.
————
She found an iron can from Qin Dalin's house, and conveniently tore off the remaining intact talismans on his door and packed them up. Only then did Lu Yibei slowly leave the old building.
Since she had come all this way, of course she had to take anything she could take away.
These talismans are not powerful, and she doesn't need them for the time being, but she can also take them to the Ghost Market to sell later.
As for the bull skull that looked well-behaved, forget it. It's such a big thing, there's nowhere to hide it. If those two urban legend see it later, it will damage her image.
Is it reasonable for a dignified strong person to steal low-level Spiritual Energy items for warding off evil from an ordinary person's home?
Lu Yibei thought, and quickly passed through the corridor, came to the stairwell, and then reluctantly glanced at the bull skull at the other end of the corridor.
Or... come back another day?
It's not about money. Do I look like someone who lacks that little bit of money?
The key is, I don't want to have had an opportunity to get something for free presented to me, and if I didn't cherish it, it would be uncomfortable to think about it afterwards. If I had to add a time limit to this discomfort, it might be ten thousand years. Lu Yibei thought.

Leaving the old power plant staff building, Lu Yibei found the hidden guitar bag in the corner of the courtyard wall. As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she saw a strange scene on the street.
In the middle of the night, on a remote street, dry leaves rustled on the ground as the wind blew.
Under the dim street lamp, a figure resembling Peeling Skin and a dwarf who seemed to have a burlap sack over his body huddled together, whispering and emitting bursts of creepy laughter, as if plotting something terrible.
Lu Yibei, "......"
These two want to scare people to death, right?
If it were an ordinary person who saw this scene, they would probably faint on the spot.
I'll have to ask them later where they usually haunt, and then write an anonymous report to the Leader to eliminate harm for the people!
Lu Yibei thought viciously, calmed down for a few seconds, and stepped forward.
Seeing her approach, the two urban legend immediately fell silent.
Peeling Skin stepped forward and said respectfully, "Demoness, Li heard that we have completed the task and has sent someone to pick us up. Please wait a moment."
Warm reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (it is recommended to save screenshots). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
"Mm."
Lu Yibei responded indifferently, then said no more, retreated to the side, and hid herself in the shadow of the trees.
The most important point of pretending to be a master is not to talk. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
A proper master, who would be like Lu Yibei, nagging constantly?
Although not speaking goes against her nature, there is nothing she can do about it...
She doesn't know how many urban legend of their level Li Tanghan has under his command, but she thinks there should be more than these two. It's definitely impossible to forcibly snatch the ancient sword from his hands.
However, it's probably not easy to know the whereabouts of the ancient sword without conflict.
Sending out two "ghosts" to harm people and bringing back an extra "ghost" when returning might scare Li Tanghan into fainting.
So...
Lu Yibei glanced at the two oddballs not far away, stroked her chin lightly, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although she has already fooled them for now, to truly infiltrate the enemy and obtain the whereabouts of the ancient sword, she still has to pass Li Tanghan's test.
I have to prepare my words in advance, and I also have to think about how to face Li Tanghan, his possible expressions, and prepare different response plans. Lu Yibei thought.
Anyway, whether it's speaking human language to people, ghost language to ghosts, or ghost language to people, or flirty language to ghosts, she can always do it.
She was secretly calculating how to deal with Li Tanghan when she met him later, when a spiritual energy filling sensation from an unknown source interrupted her thoughts.
Lu Yibei suddenly felt a little dazed. She seemed to have heard Qin Dalin's scream just now as if it were a hallucination.
She glanced at the old building not far away. Under the night sky, everything in the old building was as usual. Just as she felt relieved and was about to put Qin Dalin's matter out of her mind, another wave of spiritual energy filling sensation struck, and Qin Dalin's scream echoed in her ears again.
Lu Yibei, who had never encountered such a situation, was completely bewildered.
What the hell? What's going on?
Could it be that Qin Dalin has woken up, found himself locked in the secret room, and is scared out of his wits?
Lu Yibei was thinking, when another wave of spiritual energy filling sensation struck.
“......”
Why is this guy Qin Dalin so much, and so persistent? Like a human-shaped spiritual energy power bank.
————
In the secret room.
The unconscious Qin Dalin was awakened by a faint, almost imperceptible call.
Opening his eyes and seeing the pitch blackness in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then smelled the familiar strange smell, and his body instinctively struggled, bumping against the bars of the iron cage with a slight sound. His face instantly turned pale, and his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.
He suddenly realized that he had been locked in the secret room he built himself by that "female ghost."
In an instant, he felt as if he had been thrown into cold water, and everything was submerged.
The water was endlessly cold, endlessly dark, and endlessly evil...
In fact, before attacking Lu Yibei, Qin Dalin had not committed any crimes for more than half a year. The reason why he temporarily stopped was because his secret room, or rather, the entire old building, had problems.
The Misses he had harmed had never left here. Their ghosts wandered in the corridors every night, crying in the corners, gently knocking on one door after another, as if looking for something.
This strange phenomenon scared away the remaining residents in the old building, leaving only the lunatic with the birthmark on his face and the middle-aged woman who was a butcher.
Qin Dalin knew that the Misses were looking for him, and that they would find him one day.
For this, he did not hesitate to borrow "usurious loans" from the Strange Tale who came to collect debts from him every time, and exchanged them for a few items to ward off evil. Only then was he able to sleep soundly for a few nights.
It was also because of this that when he saw Lu Yibei, he felt that everything was fine and once again had evil thoughts.
But now...
Just as Qin Dalin was thinking, the iron door that had already been welded shut by Lu Yibei suddenly opened with a creak. Several blurry white figures floated into the secret room from behind the door, standing silently around the iron cage with their backs to him.
They were all wearing dirty white dresses, just like the one Lu Yibei was wearing just now.
It was extremely quiet all around, like a tomb.
At this moment, a strange voice came from outside the iron cage.
"Uncle, why don't you chat with us?"
Qin Dalin's body trembled violently, and he struggled fiercely.
Chat... That was the line he most often used to coax those Misses and make them lower their guard. That line was always effective for those Misses who lacked friends and care.
When he wanted to shout for help in horror, however, when he opened his mouth, he found a burning pain in his throat.
It was as if he had swallowed a piece of red-hot charcoal and burned his throat.
Just at this moment, the ghostly figures in white dresses, without moving their bodies, suddenly rotated their heads 180 degrees in unison, revealing faces that were even whiter than their dresses.
Their bodies slowly rose and floated in mid-air, slowly moving towards Qin Dalin, repeating softly, "Uncle, why don't you chat with us?"
"Woo woo woo—woo woo woo—!"
Qin Dalin's completely hoarse throat let out bursts of terrified whimpering sounds, his body struggling violently, hitting the iron cage with a clang, his entire face twisted and deformed by fear, and his pupils, shrunk to the size of rice grains, trembled violently.
Finally, everything quieted down.
In the pitch-black secret room, only a corpse with its limbs twisted and deformed from violent struggling lay silently on the decaying black hair, lifeless.
Outside the iron cage, there was nothing. The Misses in white dresses seemed to have never appeared, and the entrance to the secret room had never been opened.
After a long time, in this completely sealed secret room, a whirlwind suddenly swirled in the corner.
The wind stirred up crying sounds, and a faint blue flame rose in the center of the whirlwind.
Under the light of the flame, nearly transparent ripples spread out on the wall, and a bizarre face, abnormally large, without eyebrows, eyes, or a nose, only a mouth, appeared out of thin air.
It opened its lips wide and stuck out a long, bright red tongue. A tall, thin man in a tailcoat, wearing a top hat and a black and white mask, jumped down from the tongue and walked to Qin Dalin's side.
He bent down, felt for Qin Dalin's breath, touched his chest, and muttered to himself, "Did he die from cardiac arrest and organ failure?"
As he spoke, the man wiped some white foam from Qin Dalin's village, brought it to the gap in the mask to smell, pondered for a few seconds, and let out an exclamation.
"Such high-purity calamity water! To feed this kind of thing to ordinary humans, no wonder he was scared to death by hallucinations..."
"Hey—! So troublesome. This business seems to have lost money again. Why are there so many deadbeats now? Tsk tsk!"
He babbled on, walked to the corner of the room, found the crumpled notebook, casually flipped through a few pages, shrugged, and directly turned to the last page. Then he took out a delicate fountain pen from his jacket pocket and wrote a big "0" on the last page.
