Free Web NovelWhen Lu Yibei returned to Chunfeng Residence to meet up with Jiang Li, the manpower sent by Ju Meng had already arrived.
Four young men, each mastering the Spirit Marks of the four minor ghosts: Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang; one female Psychic skilled in Fulu; and two urban legend whose origins in urban legend and legends were unknown, were all selected by Ju Meng based on the characteristics proposed after Jiang Li's analysis, to impersonate Hu Yue's trusted subordinates.
The Chi Mei Wang Liang Spirit Marks and the epidemic ghost Spirit Marks of the Hu brothers all belong to the evil spirit type Spirit Marks, and their images are derived from ancient evil spirit legends like minor ghosts.
As for that female Psychic, although she mastered the art of Fulu, her Spirit Mark had nothing to do with Purple Maiden, so she could be trusted.
The origin of Fulu is indeed the mythological urban legend Purple Maiden.
However, after this occult skill spread out of Z Country, traveled across the seas to R Country, and even further to the Americas, it merged with local cultures and changes in divination methods, giving birth to many related urban legend.
This change aligns with the conclusion reached by the Night Watch's research that urban legend change with the changes in their believers. In fact, the weakening of Purple Maiden's Power, which was once very strong, is very likely related to the dilution of Power that accompanied this change.
Responsible for impersonating the painted skin urban legend was a urban legend possessing the Power of a yeenaaldlooshii, a urban legend born from Navajo legends, also known as a Skin-walker, possessing abilities similar to a painted skin ghost.
As for the last urban legend, Jiang Li still hasn't figured out how a mischief-maker could impersonate a urban legend like a skull-cracking beast.
After Lu Yibei distributed the tokens confiscated from Hu Yue and his group to the four men and two urban legend, Jiang Li pulled her aside and whispered, "It seems there's one extra? Will there be any problems then?"
As she spoke, her gaze subtly swept over the four short and thin young men with dark and reddish skin.
"No, where's the extra one?" Lu Yibei said nonchalantly, "There are four Hu brothers. Isn't this common sense, like how there are five Four Heavenly Kings?"
"..." Jiang Li was momentarily speechless, staring at Lu Yibei and pondering for a moment before asking, "What about the mischief-maker? What does it have to do with a skull-cracking beast? One is an evil spirit type, and the other is a mutated type."
"Yes, don't worry, I just asked." Lu Yibei said, stealthily glancing at the green-skinned urban legend holding a small brass hammer not far away, "Its mischief is a bit different from the mischief you understand."
"A bit different?" Jiang Li tilted her head.
"Its mischief isn't the mischievous kind of mischief, but the crushing kind of mischief." Lu Yibei explained, "Eggs, duck eggs, fish eggs, human eggs..."
"Human eggs?" Jiang Li was startled.
"Yes, human eggs are on the human body..."
Before Lu Yibei could finish, Jiang Li expressionlessly raised a hand to block between the two of them, interrupting her speech.
"You don't need to say anymore, I understand."
"It's good that you understand." Lu Yibei shrugged, "So, using a urban legend whose Power is particularly effective on the faces of humanoid creatures to impersonate a skull-cracking beast shouldn't be a problem."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to find a urban legend with more similar abilities for a while, what do you think?"
Face? I thought it was... A faint blush flashed across Jiang Li's cheeks, and then she nodded, saying seriously, "Yes, no problem."
"If there's no problem, shall we hit the road? It will take some time to get near Taoyuan." Lu Yibei said, taking out her phone to check the time, and then, as if remembering something, she added, "Speaking of which, can you drive a large truck?"
"Yes, I used to learn to drive armored vehicles and tanks, the principles should be similar." Jiang Li glanced sideways at Lu Yibei, and said indifferently, "However, why do you want me to drive?"
For core members like Jiang Li, who have been trained at the Night Watch Headquarters and then transferred to various cities, they may have to lead Special Operations Teams, and driving military vehicles is almost a necessary skill.
As if guessing Jiang Li's thoughts, Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at her, "You don't think I want to slack off, do you?"
Jiang Li didn't speak, but in the look she gave Lu Yibei, it was clear that something was constantly floating by.
【That's right, you will. 【Heart emoji】】
A dense mass, like a barrage of bullet comments.
"Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of person. I just want to take advantage of the trip to Taoyuan to familiarize myself with the information obtained from the Monster Story Chat Group and prepare for PLAN B." Lu Yibei said seriously.
"Monster Story Chat Group information? PLAN B?" Jiang Li tilted her head, her eyes a little gloomy.
Lu Yibei hadn't told her any of this before.
"This..." Lu Yibei scratched the back of her head guiltily and explained, "You have to have two plans for everything! I only thought of this plan on the way to [N O V E L I G H T] see that Superintendent just now, and I haven't considered it clearly yet, and it may not even be used. If it is used, I will tell you in detail."
"..."
What other tricks does she want to pull?
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and turned to walk towards the large truck.
----
Five minutes later, a large truck sped along the road from Tang City center to Taoyuan.
In the back row of the large truck, five Psychic and one urban legend were squeezed together in an extremely uncomfortable posture in the narrow space, the crowdedness comparable to the Shanghai Metro Line 9 during the morning rush hour.
Actually, they didn't want to be squeezed together like this, but when the four Chi Mei Wang Liang brothers climbed into the cargo box and saw the thousands of Paper Cicada Immortals inside, and heard Lu Yibei's understated explanation, "Don't be afraid, it's just an Alchemy Dirty Bomb," they all felt terrible and even considered getting out of the car and running alongside it.
If it weren't for Ju Meng's sake, and the fact that Lu Yibei's Spiritual Energy fluctuations were indeed stronger than theirs, the mischief-maker, who was already a bit irritable, would have long wanted to jump up and smash Lu Yibei's eggs with a hammer.
Jiang Li held the steering wheel and drove the large truck, subtly retracting her gaze that had been observing the back row through the rearview mirror, and looked at Lu Yibei with a frown.
What exactly is she researching?
Ever since she got in the car, her eyes hadn't left her phone.
Jiang Li grumbled inwardly, and glanced at Lu Yibei's phone screen out of the corner of her eye. After seeing the content displayed on it, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
【What are the inviolable taboos of the Eclipse Society?
According to current intelligence, the Eclipse Society was not a truly evil organization when it was founded. They control a large amount of resources, like to invest, hope for the progress of human technology, and are very low-key in their activities in the shadows.
They believe in a deity who is suspected of being fictional, who controls primal power, but they do not pray for its arrival, only seek its existence and hope to gain its recognition.
Denying its divinity and existence is the biggest taboo of the Eclipse Society.
Example: "Alas, what you said are all fake, how can such things exist in real life? How can you like such things? I just searched on Baidu, and based on your description, it might just be a natural phenomenon like a solar eclipse."
Recommended emotional reference when speaking: 【Voice】】
After Lu Yibei lightly touched the voice file, the phone immediately played the Netizen Laosepi's voice, which was three parts pitiful and seven parts playful, and just listening to it made one feel cheap and couldn't help but want to hit him.
"Hehe, Ultraman doesn't exist in this world at all!"
After listening, Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully.
Friendly 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 a screenshot). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
She was skilled at this and could deeply understand the feelings of the Eclipse Society members.
If anyone told her that White Little Flower didn't exist in this world at all, she would also get angry.
Grumbling inwardly, Lu Yibei continued to scroll down.
【How to infuriate a Miracle Order member with one sentence?
Answer: "Isn't it just a cult?"
"When you were being hunted by the Night Watch, why didn't a miracle descend upon you?"】
【The unspeakable dirty secrets of the leaders of small groups of lone Psychic...】
Jiang Li, "..."
What kind of stuff was she reading?
Wasn't she afraid that the people from those illegal Spiritual Energy organizations would join forces and kill her?
Wait! Could it be that she wanted to...
After a brief thought, Jiang Li seemed to have a pretty good guess about Lu Yibei's unspoken PLAN B, gave Lu Yibei a meaningful look, and then sighed silently.
If it really comes down to it, she can only take her and run.
In terms of speed, I am quite confident. Jiang Li thought.
----
Meanwhile, more than 300 kilometers away from Tang City, on a deserted road.
"Cough, cough, cough--!"
In a thick cloud of smoke, Bai Kai coughed violently, pulled Li Xuan's newly bought G-wagon over to the side of the road, then jumped out of the car and kicked the tire hard.
"What a piece of junk car, after speeding at 180 km/h for more than eight hours, it broke down? Isn't it just that I forgot to add antifreeze when I left? Tsk, it's as useless as Li Xuan!"
After complaining sarcastically for a while, Bai Kai took out his phone from his pocket, contacted the nearest car repair shop, paid a partial repair fee in advance, then looked in the direction of Tang City, his gaze slightly focused.
And then...
He stretched his slightly tired muscles and bones, took a deep breath, and strode towards Tang City.
Although Bai Kai wanted to sprint all the way from Hua City to Tang City, he couldn't do it just by relying on the power of his Spirit Mark, but now that there were only more than 300 kilometers left, it would only take about twenty minutes, which was nothing to him.
So, a burst of excited shouting echoed through the deserted mountains at night.
"Xiao Bei, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you! Yahoo--!"

Taoyuan is going to be finished.
Looking at the terrifying scene in Taoyuan, Miss Rabbit had this thought.
Fortunately, the judgment of the Eclipse Society Elder Council has always been very accurate, and she and Suo E had already retreated to a safe distance before the incident occurred in Taoyuan.
In the distance, the top of the mountain where the Fusang Divine Tree was hidden glowed with dazzling light, as if something was about to break through the ground, and the soil, stones, and vegetation on the mountaintop were melting.
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed in the rift valley where Taoyuan was located.
At that moment, the mountain cracked, and golden light like the scorching sun shone on the stunned faces.
As the mountain cracked, a giant tree condensed from flesh and blood rose from the ground, and strong light burst forth from its thick branches. Astonishing heat poured out like a torrent, and dozens or even hundreds of dazzling spots soon appeared on the snow-covered ground, and raging fires ignited.
At the top of the giant tree, a rotten, swollen, and abnormally growing flesh egg pulsed like a heart, emitting sounds like thunder.
"That thing is about to wake up soon." Suo E said calmly, "Just as the Elder Council predicted."
What is that thing? Miss Rabbit wanted to ask, but someone spoke before she could, interrupting her words.
"Hahaha! It's so beautiful, it's really too beautiful, as expected of my creation!"
Following the laughter, her gaze fell on the man who was with them, and Miss Rabbit's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
This Berses looked to be in his thirties, with black hair and red eyes, wearing a hideous bronze mask that only covered half of his face, destroying the slightly feminine handsome temperament of his face.
Attached to his back was a silver alien spine made entirely of Alchemy materials, which supported his body while also making his figure incredibly hunched and twisted.
Before meeting this Berses, Miss Rabbit had no idea that the leader of the other group from the Eclipse Society that Suo E mentioned would be him.
Miss Rabbit had long heard of Berses's great name. He and the Old man who was in charge of Miss Rabbit's experiment were originally partners in a subordinate organization of the Eclipse Society. Six or seven years ago, that subordinate organization was almost single-handedly destroyed by a ridiculously strong core member of the Night Watch, and only a handful of people escaped.
The Old man in charge of Miss Rabbit's experiment suffered injuries all over his body in that attack, while Berses's bones and blood were almost completely crushed. He barely managed to save his life, but could only stay in a glass cultivation tank indefinitely.
Miss Rabbit thought this poor wretch, whose name she had only heard but never seen, would stay in the cultivation tank forever until he breathed his last, but she never expected him to miraculously appear here.
Miss Rabbit had heard before that the reason he was able to save his life was that he had mastered some mysterious substance with extremely strong vitality and the ability to replicate urban legend Power.
Today, the strange recovery of Cuan Yang's Power, coupled with Berses's appearance here, has almost confirmed that rumor.
Seemingly sensing the strangeness in Miss Rabbit's eyes, Berses turned to look at her, a discomforting smile appearing on his face.
"Oh, you're the proud experimental subject of my old friend, right? I've heard of you and am very interested in you. If you don't mind, when you go back, you can come to my laboratory to take a look. I guarantee you'll come with excitement and leave satisfied and..."
Before Berses could finish speaking, Suo E suddenly stepped forward, blocking between him and Miss Rabbit, interrupting his speech.
Miss Rabbit, "..."
Although this action makes me very touched, if nothing unexpected happens, he is about to say something that will be enough to make me die of anger, right?
Tsk, I've long given up hope. Miss Rabbit thought.
However...
Suo E just stood there quietly, gazing at the valley in the distance, not saying a word, his tall figure like a monument protecting her safety.
