Free Web NovelInside the luxuriously decorated private room, the ambiguous and lazy lighting made people sleepy, and water droplets condensed on the surface of the wine bottle in the ice bucket on the table.
Lu Yibei looked at Bai Kai and asked in confusion, "Intercepted? What do you mean?"
Bai Kai pouted, took out the wine bottle from the ice bucket, slowly poured himself half a glass, took a small sip, and then slowly explained.
"Xiao Bei, do you know why the Twilight Woman and the black-robed people who secretly assisted her in Hua City risked being discovered to attack urban legend strongholds before the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?"
"This..." Lu Yibei thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Is it because she needs to establish a certain prestige? Just like the condition you just mentioned, she has to let the urban legend of Hua City know her name, right?"
"That's right." Bai Kai nodded and said, "That is indeed one reason, but as a urban legend that has existed in Hua City for a long time, the Twilight Woman's name is already well-known to the urban legend of Hua City. Even if she was killed and her remains sealed, it didn't have much impact."
"I think this should also be the reason why Plague Tai Sui chose her as his agent to organize the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
"If it's not for this, then why?" Lu Yibei became even more confused, "Is it because she has just been awakened and needs a large number of urban legend core bodies to recover her strength?"
"That could also be one of the reasons." Bai Kai shrugged, "But these two reasons are not the most important. The most important thing is that she wants to reduce her pressure through this method."
Bai Kai's reminder made Lu Yibei suddenly understand.
A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a behavior similar to declaring ownership, and it will inevitably attract many powerful challengers. This challenge will become more intense the closer it gets to the end of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
Generally speaking, if a urban legend wants to organize a Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, unless their strength is much greater than the urban legend passing through the area, an unprepared Night Parade of One Hundred Demons will only lead to their demise.
The Twilight Woman and the black-robed people she leads are actually reducing the number of challengers by attacking threatening urban legend or Psychic in advance.
It is much easier to defeat them one by one in advance than to have them attack in groups during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
In fact, except for a few reckless urban legend who are particularly confident in their own strength, most urban legend will make similar preparations before the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
"I understand, Shui Ge, you mean that you want me to be the final boss and challenge the Twilight Woman when her Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is about to end, right?" Lu Yibei said with a serious expression.
Although the thought of fighting an A-Level urban legend head-on made Lu Yibei feel weak in his heart, and cold sweat was about to come out.
However, compared to his previous assumption that he might have to fight all the urban legend in Hua City, this was still much easier.
If he really had to force himself, Lu Yibei even doubted that he would be able to cope and would become a rare embarrassing urban legend who halfway through the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons abandons his followers and runs away.
"That's right!" Bai Kai put down his wine glass and affirmed, "The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, by analogy, is like ancient feudal lords competing for power. Conquering the world on your own is never as convenient as usurping the throne."
Hearing Bai Kai say such dangerous remarks again, Lu Yibei felt a sudden panic for no reason and secretly muttered to himself, no wonder the Night Watch tries to prevent the urban legend Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to the greatest extent possible.
They already said that no spirits are allowed after the founding of the nation. Now, because the night has become long and the number of urban legend has increased sharply, it is already difficult to control whether they become spirits or not. Wanting to "establish a nation" is going too far!
Furthermore, letting urban legend with unstable temperaments, unpredictable moods, and who may corrupt and fall at any time rule the night of a city is too risky.
"But, Shui Ge, your statement about usurping the throne doesn't seem right, does it?" Although Lu Yibei felt that Bai Kai's plan was feasible, he still had doubts in his heart, "If a urban legend is defeated in the challenge of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, all their previous efforts will be in vain, but the challenger cannot directly obtain the fruits of their victory!"
"If that's the case, there's still no way to stop Plague Tai Sui from destroying Hua City, right?"
Bai Kai looked at Lu Yibei and tilted his head, "That is true, but how do you know that?"
From the knowledge of the Great Serpent God... Lu Yibei muttered to himself, but said to Bai Kai expressionlessly, "I read it in the si ye book."
"Xiao Bei..." Bai Kai hesitated.
How could the si ye book contain information about the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons challenge?
Xiao Bei is becoming more and more inscrutable. Bai Kai muttered to himself.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Yibei looked at Bai Kai, blinked his eyes, his entire face showing calmness and composure, and his eyes showing harmlessness.
"Never mind, it's nothing." Bai Kai waved his hand, "I have my own way to steal the fruits of victory from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. You just need to appear at the last moment."
"According to my estimation, the Twilight Woman is likely to launch the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons on the next moonless night, which is the night after tomorrow."
"Okay!" Lu Yibei nodded solemnly, "Got it, and also..."
After a pause, hesitating for a moment, Lu Yibei added, "Shui Ge, in two days, please have someone pay more attention to the water sources throughout Hua City, especially the Huacheng Reservoir. I'm worried that the Twilight Woman will..."
Hearing Lu Yibei say this, Bai Kai thought of the abilities of the Plague Tai Sui and frowned, "You're worried that she will put the Plague Tai Sui's organization into the water sources? Yes, that's definitely worth noting!"
However...
Why pay special attention to the Huacheng Reservoir? Bai Kai muttered to himself.
"Shui Ge, let's leave it at that for now. I'll go back and prepare immediately." Lu Yibei said.
Committing crimes is not like eating and drinking water, but a proper technical job. How can one not prepare?
Even in this day and age, there is a risk of friendly fire, so it is always better to have multiple preparations.
However...
How can I pretend to be a big urban legend who often does evil and kills people like flies when I'm preparing for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons for the first time?
Waiting online, it's urgent. Lu Yibei thought.
A moment later, Bai Kai removed the Spell sealing the private room and watched Lu Yibei leave in a hurry until his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The moment the door of the private room slowly closed, he suddenly looked like an eggplant wilted by frost, his whole body slumped, and he collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling for a long time in a daze.
After a long time, he suddenly sat up, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and drank it all.
"Ha--!" Putting down the wine bottle, Bai Kai let out a long sigh and muttered, "Damn it, Lu Ming, do people in your family have unstable genes!?"
"Your dad is like this, and your son is like this. If I get caught by the headquarters one day, it must be because of you!"
After saying that, there was a long silence. Bai Kai looked in the direction Lu Yibei had left, his eyes slightly intoxicated, "I hope he is a qualified King of Weird Tales!"

Hua City, under the deep night sky, the sharp sound of the door of a long-closed supermarket being broken open shattered the tranquility.
The woman in red, covered in blood, stumbled through the torn metal door into the deep darkness, leaving a long crimson trail on the ground.
Normally, this level of physical trauma is not serious for an A-Level urban legend and can be repaired with little Spiritual Energy.
However, Miss Rabbit's sharp and fierce axe, while tearing open her body, also poured a large amount of the Moon Yin Fire attached to the axe blade into her body.
That extremely corrosive and destructive flame, like maggots clinging to bones, burned continuously in her body. Whenever she tried to repair her body, it would become agitated, spewing pale flames from the wound, tearing her wound open again and again brutally.
Thus, the bleeding was incessant.
"Da--da da--!"
Disordered footsteps sounded intermittently in the darkness.
The moment the footsteps stopped, the Twilight Woman fell beside the seafood pool. With a thought, she heard a muffled sound from the drain beside her.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
It was as if some living creature was rushing and climbing rapidly up the pipe under the drain.
Immediately after, the Plague Tai Sui tissue mass, which looked like dark green flesh, leaped out of the drain and landed beside the Twilight Woman.
She stared at the wriggling mass of flesh that kept trying to differentiate into various distorted organs, hesitated for a few seconds, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
Originally, the Twilight Woman was quite wary of these tissues differentiated from the Plague Tai Sui. Although she knew that fusing with them could enhance her strength, she had never had such a thought.
Just becoming a subordinate of the Plague Tai Sui and helping it complete the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was just ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a transaction. After the transaction ended, she would still have a lot of freedom in Hua City.
If she were to fuse with the tissue fragments of the Plague Tai Sui, she would, to a certain extent, become a part of its body. Even if she had an independent consciousness, it would only be a part.
Although doing so would make the Plague Tai Sui stronger, she would also benefit greatly, even reaching heights that were difficult to achieve before.
However, just like fingers and toes, or a gecko's tail, she could be completely sacrificed and abandoned at critical moments.
But now, the Twilight Woman no longer had the right to consider the consequences. It would take at least several months for her to repair the trauma caused by Miss Rabbit with her own strength.
Several months are enough for many things to happen. If she continues to drag on with her injuries, she will surely die whether she is found by Miss Rabbit or the Night Watch.
"Help me... heal!"
In the darkness, the Twilight Woman squeezed out a sentence fiercely from between her teeth. The next moment, the dark green flesh beside her became restless, constantly expanding and proliferating countless wriggling flesh, baring fangs and claws, surging towards the hideous wound on her shoulder.
"Ah--!"
Countless limbs tangled chaotically and drilled into her body, and a painful wail erupted from the Twilight Woman's mouth.
In an instant, bloody ripples carrying pale Moon Yin Fire spread out. The surrounding shelves, pools, stone pillars... were crushed into powder by the intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations, as if hundreds of pounds of explosives had been instantly detonated.
The Twilight Woman coughed violently as if she had a severe lung disease, spitting out foul black blood and pale sparks expelled from her body from her nose and mouth.
She could feel something spreading rapidly and growing throughout her body, like a surging tide, eroding her shell inch by inch, swallowing the form that existed in the world, and forcibly taking over the core of the urban legend body.
A surging and powerful force, like a fission reaction, erupted from her body. Immersed in this unprecedented fullness and power, the painful wail gradually disappeared, turning into bursts of comfortable and enjoyable snorts.
After a long time, the turmoil subsided, and in the darkness, the Twilight Woman slowly opened her eyes, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. The figures of Miss Rabbit, Jiang Li, and the Qingyi urban legend who sowed discord seemed to flash before her eyes.
"The suffering I endure today, I will repay a hundredfold in the future!" she murmured, clenching her small fists tightly.

Friendly reminder: The night is ending, and dawn has not yet arrived. Hua City is shrouded under a chaotic and hazy sky piled with lead-colored dark clouds. The cold wind howls, and snow is coming.
At this moment, on the empty and deserted terrace in front of the closed supermarket, which has almost become a ruin inside. More than a dozen black-robed figures knelt on one knee.
In front of them stood a graceful woman, wearing a gorgeous dark red long dress, as if integrated with her body that exuded extremely aggressive temptation.
The group of black-robed figures were silent with apprehension, their peripheral vision occasionally drifting towards the hem of her dress that wriggled like flesh, proliferating with granulation tissue, and then, after making sudden eye contact with the eyes differentiated from the granulation tissue, they flinched in panic, cold sweat seeping from their foreheads.
"Have you done what I asked you to do?" the Twilight Woman said coldly.
"Reporting, Adult Demoness." The leader of the black-robed figures hesitated for a moment and cupped his fists, "We don't know if the Night Watch has detected our movements, but almost every location is equipped with at least two or more Special Operations Teams, and several important water sources are guarded by main members..."
"So, there was no opportunity to act?" the Twilight Woman said softly, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, "You are really useless!"
Listening to her gentle but not warm words, the bodies of the black-robed figures trembled in unison, and a look of panic flashed in their eyes.
In the deathly silence, the Twilight Woman turned around and stared at the sky, lost in thought.
Just then, a cold wind swept through, and suddenly tiny snowflakes, like salt grains, fell from the sky.
The Twilight Woman stretched out her slender white hands and gently caught a few snowflakes, bringing them to her front, but before she could examine them carefully, the snowflakes had melted in her palm.
Looking at the small pool of clear water accumulated in her palm, her eyes trembled slightly, as if she had remembered something important, and a cruel smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
With a thought, the clear water in her palm was dyed a faint dark green.
"I suddenly remembered a few places. Go there immediately and see. I'm sure there won't be any Night Watch personnel guarding them."
"..."
Staring at the Twilight Woman's back, after a few seconds of silence, the leader of the black-robed figures mustered the courage to ask, "May I ask, Adult Demoness, where should we go?"
"Sanitation stations, large car washes, seafood wholesale markets..." the Twilight Woman listed one by one, "Everywhere you can think of where water can be sprinkled into the corners of the city."
Finally, she added a faint sentence that left the black-robed figures confused, "It's snowing, how nice..."
