A snow-white parrot flew out of the station, piercing the night, and flew towards the direction Lu Yibei and A Hua had left.
Soon, in the waiting hall of Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, there were corpses everywhere, and the raiders who had been fiercely fighting there were now completely cold.
Catalyzed by the Huanhuan Gu, wisps of addictive poisonous smoke containing Spiritual Energy fluctuations drifted out from the decaying flesh and spread in all directions. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The Liu Min who had hidden in the dark corners of the station and survived the chaos by chance, absorbed the poisonous smoke, and like scavengers who smelled blood, they came out of their hiding places one by one, exposing their bodies to the invisible smoke, cheering wildly, and swaying freely.
The entire station looked like a strange hell filled with debauchery.
Just then, a figure wearing red work clothes walked in from outside the station.
He walked through the station, bathed in the poisonous smoke, his expression leisurely and enjoying, then searched every corner of the station bit by bit.
After a long time, when he found the Liu Min who was tied up in the winding and narrow gap between the convenience store and the restroom, his eyes gradually darkened.
"Damn it! Escaped?"
After speaking, he thought in silence for a moment, his gaze slowly drifting towards the direction of the railway tracks, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph! Ran away along the tracks? Trying to be smart!"
As he spoke, he softly chanted a spell, "Wind that travels through the sea and sky, wings that break free from shackles, soaring high, reversing, raging... Wind of Transmission!"
As the spell finished, bursts of storm immediately rolled up in the station, carrying the poisonous smoke continuously escaping from the flesh, surging along the railway tracks towards both ends.
-
Lu Yibei and A Hua left the platform along the railway tracks and soon entered a dark tunnel.
Using the faint light of the Alchemy Dirty Bomb for illumination, the two entered the tunnel and continued forward, the sound of brutal fighting behind them gradually fading away.
As she walked, Lu Yibei kept muttering, "Go, I hope you have a safe journey, that the bridges are strong, and the tunnels are bright..."
"Stop talking..." A Hua reminded impatiently.
"Tsk, aren't I just trying to be lucky?" Lu Yibei spat.
After a long time, when they passed through the tunnel and saw the sky again, the surroundings also fell silent.
Looking ahead, the land beneath the railway tracks gradually became riddled with holes.
Broken pieces of land of various sizes, as if unbound by common physics, floated around, and beneath the ferocious cracks were dark, bottomless abysses.
A little further ahead, the land completely disappeared, and the rusty railway tracks hung in mid-air, extending upwards in a slight arc until they disappeared into a gray, thick fog.
There was no road further ahead.
Just as Embroidery Ball said, without transportation by the giant train or a special pass, it was impossible to leave Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy via the railway tracks.
Looking at the scene before her, Lu Yibei recalled the terrible roller-coaster-like riding experience when the giant train entered the flesh tunnel, slightly furrowed her brow, and turned to look at A Hua.
"It's probably around here, right? We'll stay here and wait until those guys are done fighting, then go back."
"Okay!" A Hua softly replied, wanting to speak but stopping herself two or three times, and in the end, she didn't say anything.
In silence, she walked to the side, straightened her skirt, and sat down on a relatively flat stone. With her hands resting on her knees, supporting her chin, her dark brown eyes gazed blankly at the sky through her glasses.
In the sky, thick fog filled with industrial waste covered everything, a vast gray expanse with no starlight, looking completely unlike the familiar world, and she didn't know if they were still in the same world.
Lu Yibei noticed A Hua's abnormality, walked to her side and sat down, "Don't worry, that group of organized, undisciplined, and mentally unstable guys, once they go berserk, will probably keep killing each other."
"It's about four or five kilometers from the station here, and you also have to go through a completely dark tunnel. Those raiders shouldn't inexplicably chase us all the way here."
As she spoke, she fumbled in her jacket pocket for a while, pulled out a spicy stick, and handed it to A Hua.
"Here, want one? This thing is really chewy, it's practically a holy product for grinding teeth, great for passing the time."
Why would you need to grind your teeth? Are you a hamster? A Hua looked at her strangely, glanced sideways at Lu Yibei, and shook her head.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei shrugged sheepishly, put the spicy stick into her own mouth, chewed it with relish, and muttered, "If you're not worried about those guys chasing us, then you must be worried about Jiang Li, right?"
"..." A Hua opened her mouth, didn't speak, and then nodded.
When she first met Lu Yibei in the afternoon, she was immersed in surprise and busy posting missing person notices. Just when she finally had some free time, she was attacked shortly after, leaving her with almost no time to think about anything else.
Now, having escaped from the state of tension, all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts suddenly flooded her mind.
Looking at the troubled A Hua, Lu Yibei understood her current state very well.
It's like many people can face whatever big problems they have during the day, but when night falls and everything is quiet, their tense nerves relax, and all the negative emotions suppressed throughout the day will burst out all at once.
In fact, Lu Yibei experienced similar things for a long time after the car accident. During the day, she was carefree, even comforting Bai Kai in return.
But at night, she would return to that large bus, driving on the misty mountain road...
Withdrawing her thoughts, Lu Yibei patted A Hua's shoulder and said firmly, "Don't worry, she's still alive."
A Hua looked at Lu Yibei, then looked at the palm print of chili oil she had left on her shoulder.
Lu Yibei felt a bit awkward being looked at by A Hua, so she withdrew her hand, licked her fingers one by one, and then put her hand back on A Hua's shoulder.
A Hua, "..."
"When I had nothing to do this afternoon, I did a little divination, and the result showed that she's still alive," Lu Yibei said.
"Divination?" A Hua tilted her head and eagerly asked, "How did you do it? Is your divination result accurate?"
"Accurate as hell!" Lu Yibei blurted out, then immediately thought of her divination method and felt a little guilty, her voice involuntarily lowering a bit, "As for the method of divination..."
If I tell her I did it by tossing coins, will it sound a bit too childish? Lu Yibei thought to herself secretly, clearing her throat.
"Ahem, well, the method of divination is my personal privacy, it's not very convenient to tell you."
"However, I can guarantee that the accuracy is very high!"
After speaking, Lu Yibei fiercely spat at herself in her mind.
Damn it, everyone's a victim, why do I still have to comfort her?!
If this were in a web novel, someone would probably call me a 'holy mother bitch', right?
This guy, he even abused me before...
Lu Yibei was secretly thinking, her little dark thoughts inside, calculating using the "chicken lays egg, egg hatches chicken" cycle theory, when she could find an opportunity to get revenge with interest. freewebnøvel.com
Just then, a wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly entered her spiritual perception range.
The moment she noticed the gradually approaching Spiritual Energy fluctuation, she furrowed her brow, stood up with a "swish", tightened her grip on Lingtai Pure Karma, jumped back a step, and blocked in front of A Hua.
"Be careful! Something is coming."
As she spoke, she slightly bent her knees, and a surge of Spiritual Energy pulsed through the muscles in her legs, clearly ready to use movement techniques at any moment.
A Hua was startled by Lu Yibei's sudden action, opened her mouth, and just as she was about to say something, she also sensed the presence of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
After slightly furrowing her brow, she focused her mind and used the special ability of her Spirit Mark to carefully detect the Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
Having ascertained the state of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation, A Hua adjusted her glasses frame and reminded Lu Yibei, "The Spiritual Energy fluctuation level is between B+ and A-, an Elf-type urban legend, its aura is sweet and gentle."

"Elf-type? Such a rare kind?" Lu Yibei said in surprise.
Elf-type urban legend are, strictly speaking, a special category of Aberrant species. However, during the process of aberration, negative changes did not dominate. In a narrow sense, they can even be called "demons."
In fact, after Lu Yibei saw this small category in the si ye shu, she specifically went to the Sakura Avenue of the Huacheng Institute of Technology to feed the Liu Min, muttering as she fed them, "Transform for me, transform for me!"
After persisting like this for a week, she successfully attracted the attention and concern of the Headless Senior, who subtly handed her a flyer for the school's mental health counseling room.
A Hua seemed to guess the "bold" idea in Lu Yibei's heart, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "Although they are not quite the same as those guys from the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, they might not be their people, but their strength is not weak. It's better to be careful."
Not from the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy? Lu Yibei was startled for a moment and narrowed her eyes slightly.
If not from the Pharmacy, could it be from the other two places?
But the Brothel and the Entertainment City are with the Pharmacy. The people from the Pharmacy have already inexplicably sent people to attack me. Will they do the same thing?
Mutters to herself, Lu Yibei looked in the direction from which the Spiritual Energy fluctuation came, and soon saw a snow-white shadow, piercing through the air like lightning.
Then.
The shadow slowed down a dozen meters away from the two, revealing ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the appearance of a macaw parrot. Following that, enveloped in a burst of brilliant light, the parrot's body rapidly grew larger, and with a few strands of pure white feathers drifting down, a girl landed steadily in front of them.
The girl looked sixteen or seventeen, with long light gold hair and a white dress adorned with macaw embroidery, giving off a very fresh feeling. However, she seemed to have just had a drink, as her delicate little face had a slightly tipsy blush.
"Miss, who are you? Which mountain are you from?"
Hearing Lu Yibei's voice come from behind her, A Hua only then noticed that she had somehow hidden behind her, gripping her shoulders with both hands, poking out half her head, showing only her eyes.
...
Please, when you say something like that, can your actions show a bit more confidence? A Hua's mouth twitched.
The girl's gaze lingered on Lu Yibei for a few seconds, and she slightly bowed. "My name is Embroidery Ball, and I am from Lanruo Inn. My Master specifically ordered me to come and help you."
Hearing this, A Hua was startled for a moment, glanced at Lu Yibei behind her, and whispered, "You still know people from the Lanruo Inn Brothel? You haven't already gone there to play, have you?"
If that were the case, this prospective son-in-law might be out of the question... A Hua muttered to herself.
"What are you thinking? How could I go to a place like that! Am I that kind of person?" Lu Yibei responded in a low voice.
As she spoke, she reached out her sword-holding hand from behind A Hua, pointed the sword at Embroidery Ball, and growled, "You just said you're helping us?"
"Then where were you when we were being chased and attacked just now?"
...
You were clearly the one chasing and attacking others, okay?
Throughout the entire process, did you encounter even a little danger?
What's more, it's not yet time for the Master to fall out with the Jade Palace Immortal. How could I openly help you?
Embroidery Ball muttered to herself irritably for a moment, then said patiently, "This is a long story, and it's a bit complicated to explain. Why don't you come with me to a safe place first, and I'll tell you in detail?"
"No need," Lu Yibei responded without thinking. "We're quite safe here!"
As long as we hide here, wait until the giant train is about to come back, then return to the platform, and quickly get on the train.
On the contrary, you are a urban legend whose allegiance is unclear. Why should I easily trust you? Not even if you are a non-human girl.
I can't just assume that everyone at the Lanruo Inn Brothel will be kind to me just because Bie Suzhen was very moved, can I? Lu Yibei thought.
"You..." Embroidery Ball was a little anxious, looked back at the direction of the station, and said solemnly, "In this situation, if you don't believe me, there's only a dead end!"
If it weren't for Black Peony's orders, she wouldn't want to waste any more words with Lu Yibei.
"Do you know that the station of the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy is now filled with that wicked stuff they produce? It probably won't dissipate for several hours. You won't be able to go back even if you want to!"
"What's more, with such a large amount of poisonous smoke, it's possible for it to spread over here. If you inhale even a little, you'll be doomed forever!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed in the direction where the railway tracks led to the Dream Come True Entertainment City, continuing, "But if you don't go back, when the giant train arrives, you'll also die!"
"That driver won't easily stop the train just because there's someone or something else on the tracks, and also..."
Embroidery Ball was halfway through her sentence when, as a gust of wind blew past, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
A small amount of the "treasure" has drifted over with the wind...
Embroidery Ball's expression changed, and she quickly pulled out the snuff bottle from her pocket and took a deep sniff. Immediately after, she darted forward, closing in on A Hua, and brought the snuff bottle under her nose.
Embroidery Ball's speed was extremely fast. Before A Hua could react, she felt a strong scent of cosmetics rush into her nostrils, followed by a feeling of drowsiness.
Although A Hua's reaction was half a beat slow, Lu Yibei's reaction is usually incredibly fast when facing this kind of situation. Coupled with the half-second pause Embroidery Ball had with A Hua, the snuff bottle hadn't even reached Lu Yibei before she had already run ten meters away.
"Holy crap! What are you doing? If you can't convince me with words, are you going to drug me?"
"This isn't..." Embroidery Ball explained.
"If it's not medicine, then what is it?" Lu Yibei asked warily.
"It's..." Embroidery Ball was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to Lu Yibei. She stomped her foot in frustration. "Okay, it is medicine, but it's not the kind of medicine you're thinking of. It's... Anyway, just come over and take a sniff!"
I can't possibly tell her that the main use of this medicine is to help guests get in the mood, and the secondary use is to block the effect of the "treasure," can I? Embroidery Ball muttered to herself.
"I won't!" Lu Yibei said stubbornly.
Medicine produced by the Lanruo Inn Brothel, whose effects are inconvenient to explain, might be even more dangerous than the "treasure" from the Dan Sha Gu Shi Pharmacy, from a certain point of view! Lu Yibei thought.
Just as she was thinking, her eyes suddenly felt slightly warm. Immediately after, following a moment of blurred vision, she saw strands of blue-violet fine lines appear in her sight.
Those fine lines floated around, long or short, thick or thin, messy like a ball of yarn played with by a cat.
Among the countless fine lines, there was one extremely tiny one floating right in front of her. Then, accompanying her breath, under her gaze, it "slid" into her body.
Without any reason, Lu Yibei suddenly felt a wave of pleasure, and couldn't help but let out a light cry, "Oh-hoo—!"
That pleasure wasn't the fleeting happiness of being stimulated by a punchline while reading jokes or watching short videos, but a deeper, more intense happiness originating from the depths of her heart.
It was like spending a lifetime with a loved one, or gathering happily with family and friends, or achieving financial freedom in your twenties, with no worries about the future, able to do anything out of interest. It was also like a long-term effort finally succeeding, all perseverance waiting for the result...
In short, it was a happiness that was hard to refuse.
From afar, seeing a blush like she was slightly tipsy appear on Lu Yibei's face, Embroidery Ball's mouth twitched. She tentatively called out loudly to her, "You... How do you feel now?"
"Very high..." Lu Yibei responded with a smile, and then a brilliant smile appeared on her face again. She changed her words and shouted, "Wait, no!"
"I'm already at the peak of being high!"
"Slap—!"
Embroidery Ball slapped her forehead hard, shook her head, and murmured heartbrokenly, "It's over, it's over. This child is beyond saving."
I advised her kindly, why wouldn't she listen?
A Hua stood by, looking at the radiantly smiling Lu Yibei, nodded with a complex expression, and echoed, "Mm-hmm, I think so too."
A thousand-year-old poker face monster is actually smiling like an idiot. It would be strange if she were normal!
What are we going to do now?!
(Hehe, I actually made it~)
