Free Web NovelPale streams of light fell onto the midnight platform, and a predictive thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind in an instant.
Within the streams of light, there was actually a faint trace of life!?
Lu Yibei's expression changed slightly. Without time to think, she took a few steps forward, hoisted A Hua onto her back, and immediately used her movement technique to rush forward.
Accompanied by a slight pop in the air, she rapidly swept across the platform like a low-flying bird, concealing herself behind a stone wall.
The next moment, intense light silently bloomed, casting the entire station in a ghastly white.
It was as if a group of invisible beasts were hidden within the intense light, gnashing their teeth, sucking blood, and tearing everywhere, leaving deep and shallow ravines on the ground, stone pillars, and ceiling.
However, before Lu Yibei had a moment to catch her breath, a new round of attacks began.
The attackers outside the station detected the air vibrations caused by her movement.
More streams of light descended from the sky, following her trajectory.
Consequently, white frost spread, a biting storm swept through, flames erupted, scorching heatwaves spread, and even unnamed vicious rays and hideous Gu insects rampaged.
The entire station shook violently, as if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred nearby.
Lu Yibei carried A Hua and struggled to weave through the constantly falling streams of light, relying on the predictive thoughts that kept flashing in her mind.
After a long time, the two finally found a relatively safe spot to hide in # Nоvеlight # the gap between the grocery store and the restroom. A Hua quickly cast defensive and soundproofing Spells, and a golden-yellow faint light spread, enveloping the narrow alley.
A Liu Min who had already occupied this spot and set up his bedding saw the two suddenly intrude and was about to run away, but Lu Yibei pulled him back and pressed one hand firmly onto the ground.
"Don't move around, just sleep!"
The Liu Min, "..."
Lu Yibei and A Hua found a temporary hiding place, avoiding the barrage of Spells and innate abilities, but the others on the platform were not so lucky.
On the platform, many Liu Min who couldn't hide in time were ripped apart in the dazzling light that devoured life, and a strong smell of blood mixed with thick smoke spread.
Just like thin sheets of paper being torn, lives were easily ripped apart one by one.
Waves of hair-raising wails echoed from the brightest point of the intense light.
On the platform, in the narrow alley between the grocery store and the restroom.
Lu Yibei withdrew her gaze from the ceiling supported by the station's metal framework and pursed her lips.
Ever since Embroidery Ball returned, her predictive thoughts had been constantly reminding her that someone was secretly observing her from the ceiling.
This kind of behavior, like a stalking pervert, made her uncomfortable. Because the other party hadn't made any overt moves, she was only moderately vigilant and had no other reaction for the time being.
However...
Not long after that, someone launched a surprise attack outside the station.
Could this be related to the person who was secretly observing? Lu Yibei muttered to herself.
While thinking, she looked at A Hua and said seriously, "Speaking of which, what kind of shady business have you two been up to? You've really offended someone deeply!"
Facing Lu Yibei's tactic of the villain complaining first, A Hua's mouth twitched. "Stop shifting the blame. Since I arrived here, I haven't had any contact with those guys, so how could there be any enmity?"
"Didn't you post missing person notices everywhere?"
A Hua was taken aback. "What kind of enmity could that create?"
"Damaging the urban environment and affecting the city's appearance? You've posted so many, it's already considered urban psoriasis." Lu Yibei said seriously.
A Hua, "..." Could this city even talk about urban appearance?
The miscellaneous small advertisements on those walls are like cauliflower disease, are they still missing my few patches of psoriasis?
"Why does it have to be me who offended someone? Can't you look for the reason yourself?" A Hua said angrily.
"Because it couldn't possibly be me!" Lu Yibei spread her hands. "Before meeting you, I hadn't gotten off the train. The only urban legend I've interacted with, I have a particularly good relationship with her. To tell you the truth, when we parted, she didn't want me to leave and even cried."
"Tell me, I've been friendly with people all along the way, how could I possibly offend anyone? I was sitting on the train, and enmity came from the sky, right?"
"..." A Hua felt that Lu Yibei's words made sense, nodded, adjusted her glasses, and pressed on, "Then is it possible that someone you offended outside followed you here?"
"Uh..." Lu Yibei froze for a moment, then shrugged. "I can't say for sure. There are quite a few people who want to kill me, how would I know who it is?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Ah? You have grudges with many people?" A Hua said blankly.
In her impression, Lu Yibei was still that cowardly temporary agent of the Night Watch, or Wang Bu Liu Xing who stole and cheated right under the Night Watch's nose. She never expected someone like her could also offend people.
"Ho, there's a ton of them." Lu Yibei slapped her thigh. "What Maitian God, Plague Tai Sui, Ship God, Eclipse Society, and let me think..."
A Hua massaged her forehead, raised her hand to interrupt. "Okay, stop talking."
If you keep talking, I'll get creeps listening.
It's truly a miracle that she's still alive!
However...
"Those guys you mentioned, if they wanted to kill you, they probably wouldn't use this method," A Hua said.
"Why?" Lu Yibei asked, puzzled.
"..." A Hua rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei. "Do you even need to ask?"
"Putting everything else aside, just the Maitian God and Plague Tai Sui, two urban legend that give the Night Watch headaches, if they really wanted to deal with you, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing a chick if they attacked outside?"
"Why bother sending a bunch of stragglers, risking sneaking into the Dream Come True Journey to make a move?"
A Hua had already sensed with her special Spiritual Energy perception. Among the Psychic and urban legend who appeared outside the station, their Spiritual Energy fluctuations had absolutely no similarity and showed no coordination.
It felt to her like they were recruited on the spur of the moment from various places, showing no sign of coming from the same faction.
Stragglers? Lu Yibei repeated it in her mind, her eyes darted around, and then she looked at the smelly Liu Min beside her. "It's not me, and it's not you... Could it be him?"
"Uncle, tell me honestly, are you some kind of underground party leader resisting the tyranny of the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy?"
The Liu Min, "???"
Seeing that the Liu Min didn't speak, Lu Yibei squatted down, leaned closer to him, handed him a spicy strip, lowered her voice, clenched a pink fist, and roared powerfully, "Proletariat of the world..."
She shouted half of the slogan, and as if signaling the Liu Min to match a secret code, she raised her eyebrows at him, waiting for him to say the second half.
Accompanied by the continuous sound of landmines exploding outside the station, the atmosphere suddenly became red.
"..."
The Liu Min didn't speak, but shamelessly and silently took the spicy strip Lu Yibei offered and put it in his mouth.
Living in the city of the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, having become a Liu Min, having enough to eat and wear had long been a luxury. It was always living hand-to-mouth, so as long as food was presented to them, regardless of the source, the Liu Min here would not refuse.
"Looks like he's not."
Looking at the silent Liu Min, Lu Yibei shook her head, snatched the spicy strip from his mouth, used her innate ability, and blew it into dust.
If you're not one of our good comrades, why would I give you anything to eat!
The Liu Min, "..."
A Hua, "..." Lu Yibei, I beg you, be a person!
Muttering to herself, she gave Lu Yibei a glare and said faintly, "Wang Bu Liu Xing, stop teasing the fool. What do we do now?"
"Those guys outside are clearly prepared. If we're going to fight back, we need at least..."
Just as she was speaking, several streams of light flew in through the gaps in the station's awning, exploding with a bang. As flames shot out, heavy heatwaves rolled, and a scorching storm spread in all directions.
The storm hit the defensive Spell, and spiderweb-like cracks spread inch by inch. For a moment, the Spell was on the verge of collapsing and almost shattered. A Hua quickly mobilized her Spiritual Energy to repair it.
Lu Yibei shrank her neck and looked at A Hua. "Fight back? What are you talking about! Can't your Spiritual Energy perception sense the Spiritual Energy fluctuations outside?"
"There are at least seven or eight 1 Xin Tu, uh, A-Level, and a large number of B Levels. Isn't going out just asking to be killed? If you want to go, you go. Anyway, I'm staying in the station and not going anywhere!"
"But..." A Hua hesitated to speak.
"No buts!" Lu Yibei patted A Hua's shoulder. "Don't worry, as long as we don't leave the station, they won't have any good way to deal with us."
"On the way here, with nothing to do, I carefully read all the pamphlets on the giant train."
Lu Yibei always felt that it was necessary to first understand the local rules and regulations in a new place, so that she could find loopholes in the system, making it convenient to exploit opportunities and gain benefits at any time.
"There was a pamphlet about station rules and regulations that said the station is a neutral safe zone, and no disputes involving the use of Spiritual Energy are allowed inside the station, otherwise it will attract joint sanctions from the three parties."
"Look, they're just outside the station, blindly using abilities like they're picking lottery numbers, without even a clear target. They must be afraid to come in, that's why they're doing this."
"I'm right, aren't I?" Lu Yibei said, raising her eyebrows at the Liu Min beside her.
The Liu Min, "..." When you talk, can you stop bringing me into it? We're really not close!
A Hua glanced at the bewildered Liu Min, looked at Lu Yibei, and said with a serious expression, "If we don't go out and fight back, are we just going to keep hiding here? That's way too passive! How about we counterattack outwards?"
"That won't work!" Lu Yibei said.
"We're still inside the station. If we counterattack outwards like this, even if it causes a dispute involving the use of Spiritual Energy within the station, maybe those guys outside are counting on this and chose this method of attack."
"But..." A Hua frowned, paused, and continued, "Are we just going to sit here and wait for death like this? The night here is very long..."
Lu Yibei straightened her back, her chin slightly raised. "Of course not! Do I look like someone who would sit and wait for death?"
A Hua squinted at the smug Lu Yibei. "You don't look like someone who would sit and wait for death, but rather someone who would flee in the face of battle and live a life of ignominy."
"If this station didn't only have one exit and no other way out, you would have run away long ago, right?"
"To be honest, that's true..." Lu Yibei nodded in agreement.
Before night fell, when she was still laying mines, she had already studied the surrounding terrain.
This station exists almost independently outside the dilapidated city of the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, with bottomless dark abysses on three sides.
It was like a lonely peninsula, with only a narrow road leading to the land.
After a brief thought, Lu Yibei sighed softly. "Ah! I miscalculated!"
"I thought the locals here would be more rule-abiding and wouldn't attack the station. I didn't expect there would still be people outside just throwing abilities into the station."

"It seems that when it comes to exploiting loopholes in rules and regulations, locals are indeed more skilled."
"What time is it, and you're still in the mood to praise the enemy?" A Hua said angrily.
"Don't panic!" Lu Yibei patted A Hua's shoulder and said expressionlessly, "They can exploit loopholes, and so can I! I've already thought of a way to deal with this situation."
How could Lu Yibei not have a backup plan when staying in a place like Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy with obvious security vulnerabilities?
"You've thought of it?" A Hua said blankly.
"Yeah!" Lu Yibei spread her hands. "Otherwise, what do you think I was doing all afternoon?"
"..."
A Hua recalled seriously, looked into Lu Yibei's eyes, and said earnestly, "Eating spicy strips, sleeping in, chatting with Liu Min, flipping through the station booklet, oh, and I also ran to the toilet more than a dozen times."
Lu Yibei, "..." In your eyes, can't I do anything serious?
"The correct way to say it is, replenishing energy, building up strength, gathering intelligence, and setting up traps," Lu Yibei corrected.
As she spoke, she noticed that the sound of landmine explosions outside the station and the sounds of attacks inside the station had quieted down. Silence returned to the surroundings. After waiting for a moment to confirm that the attackers outside the station had paused their assault, she stood up.
"It's about time," Lu Yibei muttered to herself, then turned to A Hua and said, "I'll go out and check the situation. You stay here and don't move."
"..." A Hua opened her mouth, hesitating to speak.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you and run off by myself."
Unless the situation is particularly dangerous... Lu Yibei secretly added in her heart, then left her hiding place and walked towards the platform.
----
Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy Station, above the platform, under the ceiling supported by crisscrossing metal frames.
Embroidery Ball, who had transformed into a sunflower parrot, was hiding in the corner of the highest beam of the metal frame, looking out through the station's ventilation shaft.
Within a hundred meters outside the station, it was all barren land covered with withered yellow wild grass, with no light at all.
It seemed as if the planners of the city in the distance deliberately wanted to keep the city a certain distance from the station.
At this moment, on the originally pitch-black wasteland, fires were raging, and the ignited wild grass turned into sparks, flying like a swarm of insects under the night sky.
The trigger-type Spell set by Lu Yibei detonated the Alchemy Dirty Bomb, leaving large and small pits on the ground, with incomplete corpses scattered around the pits.
"Did she set up traps in advance? Interesting," Embroidery Ball muttered to herself. "However, if that's all, it's probably not enough..."
As she spoke, her gaze looked towards the depths of the wasteland.
On the desolate land, dense dark figures surged, gradually approaching the station.
After paying a heavy price, they finally opened up a relatively safe route.
These poor wretches, deeply addicted to drugs and with their souls corrupted, would never easily give up such a chance to solve everything once and for all.
Seeing this situation, a hint of disdain flashed in Embroidery Ball's eyes.
The three forces along the Dream Come True Journey, although colluding externally, were independent internally, and their styles of action were also very different.
To deal with the same person, Lanruo Inn Brothel usually used the "honey trap," Dream Come True Entertainment City advocated fair gambling with absolute chips, while Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, as Black Peony said, was different from both of them.
Severe illness requires strong medicine. Jade Palace Immortal is someone who likes to use strong medicine and usually prefers straightforward, simple, and brutal lightning methods when encountering problems.
However, since he used strong medicine, side effects were inevitable.
As far as Embroidery Ball knew, every time Jade Palace Immortal took action, it was accompanied by a large number of deaths.
In his opinion, the death of a few Liu Min was no big deal.
Anyway, they were already living a life worse than death.
"Still using strong medicine! Vulgar and barbaric!" Embroidery Ball muttered disdainfully.
As she spoke, her gaze turned to the hidden Lu Yibei, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. "I want to see how you, who are valued by the Master, will deal with Jade Palace Immortal's'strong medicine'..."
As soon as her voice fell, she heard a loud shout from inside the station.
"He's dead! That guy is dead! Great! Hahaha, it's all mine, it's mine!"
Following that, the voice became a little lower, and he said sinisterly, "Hehe, a bunch of idiots, you want to eat meat after coming in after it's over? Hmph! You won't even get hot soup."
The person shouting, although deliberately lowering his voice, still sounded somewhat childish, and also sounded a bit familiar.
Hearing the sound, Embroidery Ball, who had turned into a parrot, narrowed her small green bean-like eyes slightly.
But how did she know who Jade Palace Immortal's people wanted to kill and what they wanted?
Wait, no, she didn't say who died, nor did she say what was hers...
Heh, interesting!
Embroidery Ball laughed in her heart, turned her head to look outside the station, those attackers gathered outside the station heard the shouts from inside the station and were clearly agitated.
Before them, there were indeed some Psychic and urban legend, who either survived by luck after being forced to clear the way with their bodies, or relied on their powerful Spiritual Energy to pass through the dense trap area ahead of time and approach the station.
It is not ruled out that they sneaked into the station during the chaos to search for the target.
In fact, everyone or urban legend present would do that if they had the chance.
After all, there was only one spot to become a red-clothed supervisor!
At this moment, the loud shouting inside the station sounded again.
"Wait, wait, don't do it!"
"Boom--!"
Following the loud shout, a loud explosion came from inside the station.
"You, you're ruthless! I'll give you half, what... what? You want it all? Don't go too far... Ah--!"
Before he finished speaking, accompanied by a scream, another explosion echoed inside the station.
"Boom--!"
Through the ventilation shaft on the station roof, faint blue and purple electric light could be seen flashing with the light of fire inside the station.
After two explosions and a scream, the station returned to silence, but the restless emotions in the hearts of the dozens of attackers gathered on the wasteland outside the station were growing wildly.
"Someone is fighting inside the station? How dare they..."
"Didn't they say it's best to catch them alive?"
"You said it's best, didn't the bounty say it? It's also acceptable to bring back the core of the urban legend' body."
"How about we go in and take a look too? Maybe there's still a chance."
"Forget it, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"..."
Although a group of attackers verbally expressed their intention to give up, each person or urban legend quietly distanced themselves from the other attackers, and then...
"Whoosh--!"
The air exploded, and a black figure, like an arrow from a full bowstring, shot out from the crowd and flew towards the station.
Thus, after a brief silence, all the attackers shed their disguises, tore off their masks, and in their most hideous forms, unveiled the curtain of the scramble for the spot of the red-clothed supervisor.
----
Inside the station.
Lu Yibei was hiding in the dark, wearing a black robe transformed from a Coat, her long hair and most of her face were covered by the hood and high collar of the black robe, with only her eyes exposed.
In her hand, she held a copy of the "Dream Come True Journey Passenger Safety Manual" that she had taken from the giant train, opened to the page "Appendix 3. Guidelines for the Use of Spiritual Energy at Passing Stations."
【1. Fighting involving the use of Spiritual Energy is strictly prohibited inside the station (Note 1: Self-defense counterattacks by passengers who are attacked with Spiritual Energy without first using Spiritual Energy are not included in this category.)
(Note 2: Accidental safety incidents caused by passengers' personal belongings are not included in this category, but we reserve the right to claim compensation within a reasonable range...)
...
5. Anyone who damages transportation facilities inside the station will be dealt with seriously...】
"Very good, the accidental detonation of a personal bomb is not considered a fight using Spiritual Energy. Now as long as they make the first move, the problem will be solved!"
"Hmph! Isn't it just exploiting loopholes? As if anyone can't do it!"
"Besides, I'm doing all this under the rules! And there are eyewitnesses." Lu Yibei muttered to herself, her peripheral vision drifting towards the approximate location where Embroidery Ball was hiding.
Just then, a series of explosions came from outside the station, and the remaining "landmines" were triggered.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yibei's gaze slightly narrowed, she quickly put away the "Dream Come True Journey Passenger Safety Manual," and focused her attention on the direction of the station's entrance and exit passage.
Like a fierce beast waiting for its prey to approach, she waited quietly, poised to strike.
To destroy it, one must first make it crazy. Now, those attackers outside, influenced by drugs and already not quite normal, are crazy!
Soon, a very faint sound of footsteps echoed in the empty entrance and exit passage, followed by a prediction flashing in Lu Yibei's mind.
【It appeared at the entrance and exit passage】
The next moment, as a black figure appeared at the entrance and exit passage, a strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Lu Yibei's body, and at the same time, she let out a low growl.
"You want to steal from me? No way! Go to hell!"
However, she merely stirred up Spiritual Energy fluctuations and let out a low growl, without making any attacking movements, but simply followed the predicted thought and flashed to the side in advance.
The urban legend who rushed into the station first heard the low growl and felt the Spiritual Energy fluctuation coming, and was immediately startled. Without thinking too much, it opened its mouth and sprayed a large amount of foul-smelling acid towards the direction of the sound and Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
However...
The girl who let out the low growl seemed to have already predicted its "counterattack" and dodged to the side, looking at it expressionlessly, and said faintly, "Oh-ho, you made the first move! Everything I do next will be considered self-defense!"
As she spoke, the broken sword in her hand ignited with fire in the darkness.
urban legend, "???"
