Free Web Novel“You are under arrest! Immediately cease your resistance, or you will be killed without mercy!”
Following a loud shout, fifteen Night Watch agents, including Jiang Li, simultaneously displayed the bao sang cang xiao badge on their chests and rushed down the hillside in a few breaths.
Before the commotion could spread among the large group of illegal Psychic and urban legend, the Night Watch agents, like a pack of hunting wolves, pounced.
After the fall of the three major urban legend—Falling Flower Cave Girl Qiao Lian, Scarlet Vertical Saw Jasper, and Shadow Person—the Psychic and urban legend gathered near Taoyuan Bridge were almost all a motley crew wanting to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into Taoyuan and plunder. In terms of both cooperation and strength, they were inferior to the Night Watch elites who had responded to the red owl signal and rushed to support.
In the first thirty seconds after the Night Watch agents charged into the crowd of people (and urban legend), some Psychic and urban legend still attempted to resist, with the Miracle Order members being the most intense, and the scene was chaotic for a time.
However, as time passed, the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) suppressive power of the Night Watch agents gradually became apparent, transitioning from initial suppression to a sweeping cleanup like tearing down dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, taking less than three minutes.
As illegal Psychic and urban legend fell one by one, the Night Watch agents skillfully took out standard Spiritual Energy items the size of buttons called 'thousand mechanism locks'. Activated by Spiritual Energy fluctuations, they formed binding Spell shackles, skillfully capturing them alive.
“......”
Several Miracle Order members who had already crossed the broken bridge and were approaching Lu Yibei heard the commotion from behind, looked back at the Night Watch agents, then looked at Lu Yibei ahead, exchanged glances, chose to believe in the miracle, and continued to rush forward.
“Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid! The light of miracle protects us! If by any chance she cannot stop us, we will be victorious!”
Lu Yibei, “......” Again with 'by any chance'. You might as well change your name to 'By Any Chance Order'.
Immediately after, the neighing of a horse came from behind.
A swift white figure burst out from the crowd, lightly touching the broken bridge piers a few times, crossing the broken bridge. Its iron hooves trampled, and under the astonished gaze of a Miracle Order member, it instantly knocked him flying.
The next moment, before the other Miracle Order members could react, Jiang Li brandished the nearly four-meter-long saber in her hand. The saber light was like a shadow, avoiding vital points, leaving a bloody mark on each of their bodies.
Then...
The Spirit Mark unfolded, and the Hydra toxin was released. The blood gushing from the wounds of the Miracle Order members immediately turned purple-black.
Several screams sounded almost simultaneously, and the bodies of the Miracle Order members twitched, falling to the ground one after another.
Clearly, the miracle did not descend upon them.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei's heart was filled with joy, and she fiercely roared at the Miracle Order member who had fallen before her, “Serves you right! Let's see if you dare to do these illegal and disorderly things again.”
“Hey! You ♦ still dare to glare at me?”
Lu Yibei looked at Jiang Li and said seriously, “This Leader Sister, quickly handcuff him, I'm scared!”
“It's him, he was promoting some deadly cult theories before and trying to recruit people. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“......” Jiang Li looked at Lu Yibei and silently took out the thousand mechanism lock.
“Ding——!”
The soft sound of the thousand mechanism lock being activated came.
“Good job handcuffing! People like this should be...” Lu Yibei's words stopped halfway as she felt a tightening sensation on her wrist. She was slightly stunned and looked at Jiang Li blankly, “No, this Leader, why are you handcuffing me? I'm a great good person!”
“......”
Jiang Li silently glanced at Lu Yibei's twisted and deformed right ankle from the side, and then at the wound on her back that was still bleeding. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.
“Good person? Heh heh!”
“Wait, wait!” Lu Yibei exclaimed, “What do you mean, this Night Watch Leader?”
Jiang Li raised her hand and lightly waved, removing her face mask. She rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said, “It means you are under arrest.”
Lu Yibei's eye twitched, and she said aggrievedly, “No, Officer? I didn't do anything!”
Jiang Li looked at Lu Yibei and said calmly, “You are suspected of damaging public facilities, killing dozens of suspects who have not yet been convicted, and abusing Spiritual Energy in a public place, causing Spiritual Energy residue pollution, which seriously endangers public safety.”
“However...” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Jiang Li's cold gaze softened, and she changed the subject, “Given that you are injured, you will be sent for treatment first.”
Lu Yibei, “......”
Understood. So, she wants to force me to get treatment?
How annoying. I didn't expect Miao Miao Jiang to like playing with handcuffs. Thinking about it makes me a little shy.
Thinking, Lu Yibei subtly gave Jiang Li a look.
【Now is not the time for treatment. I still have things to do!】
Jiang Li glanced at her colleagues who were busy on the other side of the broken bridge and responded with her eyes.
【You're injured like this, and you still want to cause trouble?】
Lu Yibei silently sighed and looked towards the depths of Taoyuan.
Although Ju Meng had repeatedly confirmed to her that her plan would definitely succeed, several hours had passed since the city barrier bombardment, and there had been no movement from her side. This made her a little worried and she wanted to go into the depths of Taoyuan to check the situation.
Jiang Li saw through Lu Yibei's thoughts and shook her head helplessly.
【Then I'll go too. 【Heart eyes emoji】】
Lu Yibei frowned slightly.
【Isn't that perhaps not so good?】
What's the difference between this and taking a paladin into the demon king's army's lair and planning to chat and laugh with the demon king?
Lu Yibei didn't disbelieve Ju Meng; she disbelieved Ju Meng's dependents.
Even if Ju Meng's dependents wouldn't harm Jiang Li, seeing a Night Watch agent enter Taoyuan would definitely result in them throwing rotten eggs and spoiled vegetable leaves or something.
Jiang Li looked at Lu Yibei, then glanced at the Night Watch agents behind her, and then gave Lu Yibei a look.
【If you don't act with me, do you think you can easily get away from them in your current state?】
Although Lu Yibei participated in the previous action to intercept a group of illegal spiritual energy organization members and even killed three notorious major urban legend, she is still a Strange Tale, a significant unstable factor, and she also blew up Taoyuan Bridge.
Even if her merits and demerits cancel each other out in the end and the Night Watch lets her off, before that, if there is an opportunity, the Night Watch agents will still arrest her first and wait for the result of the conviction.
In fact, "dirty" deals like those between Lu Yibei and Inspector Xing Yuan are not unheard of between the Night Watch and urban legend, but they are always done in private. If they were brought into the open, it would also be a serious violation.
“......”
Man is the knife and I am the fish. God knows what will happen.
Although my bottom line of principles is already very low, if I fall into the hands of the Night Watch and am severely tortured, I might accidentally break through my bottom line.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yibei looked into Jiang Li's eyes and nodded, then walked to her side, flipped onto the horse, and wrapped one arm around her waist.
“Let's go!”
Seeing Lu Yibei so skillfully riding on her, Jiang Li's body stiffened slightly, her cheeks flushed for a moment, and she hesitated to speak. After a moment, she turned and lightly called out to the busy Night Watch agents.
“Everyone, there is a suspect here who is seriously injured and needs immediate treatment. I'm taking her and leaving first.”
After speaking, the iron hooves galloped, and their figures were like the wind.
————
“......twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five......”
Lu Yibei sat cross-legged on the “horse's back”, counting the gains from intercepting the urban legend on Taoyuan Bridge, a pair of eyes gleaming with the light of a miser.

Fifty-nine Psychic and urban legend who were captured alive were taken away by the arriving Night Watch agents. Twenty-seven low-level Strange Tale core bodies remained, excluding two used for Coat's healing, leaving twenty-five, plus three A-Level Strange Tale core bodies...
After this wave, the funds needed for the replenishment potion are almost gathered. Now it depends on how to buy the materials, after all, according to Fat Er Ye, some materials are difficult to buy even with money.
Thinking carefully, if the past of these nearly one hundred urban legend and Psychic were made into a thrilling TV series, it would probably take hundreds of episodes.
In other words, "Gu Qianqian" killed the people of a TV series?
Tsk tsk, what a sinful woman, quite ruthless and vicious! Lu Yibei thought.
After counting the gains, Lu Yibei seemed to suddenly remember something, and lightly patted Jiang Li's back, saying sneakily, “This Leader, as a main agent of Hua City, I wonder if you are interested in discussing a cooperation with me?”
“......” Jiang Li glanced at Lu Yibei from the corner of her eye and did not speak.
"Don't stop talking!" Lu Yibei continued, "You said Ju Meng's Fall could attract so many people unafraid of death, so if the Huacheng Monster King were to Fall, would it also attract some fools?"
"Let's make a deal. I'll be responsible for faking my death and spreading rumors, and the Hua City Si Ye Hui will be responsible for ambushing and capturing people. When we get the benefits, how about we split them half and half?"
Although Jiang Li was already used to Lu Yibei's occasional attempts to cause trouble, anything involving the order of Hua City was out of the question.
What's more, this kind of entrapment would be very dangerous for the King of Weird Tales acting as bait.
"Aren't you afraid that the Hua City Si Ye Hui will collude with those Psychic and the Night Watch from the inside and outside, taking the opportunity to get rid of you, the biggest unstable factor in Hua City?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
----
Deep within Taoyuan, a large number of urban legend and Psychic gathered near the huge pit where Ju Meng was.
Only about four hours had passed since the Tang City urban barrier entered the cooling phase.
The news that the Night Watch had issued the Red Screech Owl signal and launched operations around Tang City spread through various illegal channels, just as the news of Ju Meng's impending Fall had spread quickly, very rapidly.
With the Night Watch's intervention, except for a few desperate people who valued money over life, those who wanted to fish in troubled waters, facing the ambushes from the Night Watch and Taoyuan's subordinates, began to retreat.
As of half an hour ago, the number of members of illegal Spiritual Energy organizations, lone Psychic, and urban legend attempting to sneak into Taoyuan during the chaos had already started to decrease significantly. The Psychic and urban legend guarding Taoyuan also got a chance to breathe.
However, this state of peace and stability is temporary. If Ju Meng cannot wake up in a short time, before the Night Watch dispatches suitable and sufficient personnel to station there, the eight hundred li around Taoyuan, having lost its King of Weird Tales, will be in chaos for a long time.
When Mao Sanyou thought of the scene of urban legend running rampant around Tang City, he even felt like being an unfilial son for once, going against the promise he made to his father on his deathbed.
"Clip-clop—clip-clop—!"
The sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Mao Sanyou glanced in the direction of the sound and saw the figures of Lu Yibei and Jiang Li.
When the two of them arrived deep in Taoyuan, many Psychic and urban legend had already gathered in front of the huge pit where Ju Meng was.
After several hours of fierce fighting, they all carried injuries of varying degrees, some even needing to be supported by companions to stand steadily.
These Psychic and urban legend were either indebted to Ju Meng, or were citizens of Taoyuan themselves. They were of various ages, some old, some young, some ugly, some beautiful, some fat, some thin. Some looked like corporate elites, some looked like old farmers from the countryside, and some even looked like children who had just been weaned.
And these Psychic and urban legend, with completely different backgrounds, appearances, and ages, at this moment, all came to the edge of the abyss-like pit because of Ju Meng, lowering their heads and gazing down.
It was so quiet, like the final moment of silence at a funeral, the part where they bid farewell to the deceased, making Lu Yibei even want to pick up a suona after a long time and play a tune to express her feelings.
She frowned and climbed down from Jiang Li's back, found Mao Sanyou's figure under Turtle Elder's massive body, and limped over, nudging him with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Hehe, what's the situation? Why does everyone look like their mother just died?"
"Did Smelly Girl fail and not make it? It can't be, right? Isn't it still glowing down there? I think she can still be rescued."
"Cough cough!" Mao Sanyou cleared his throat with a face full of embarrassment and whispered, "The situation is a bit complicated right now. Auntie can be considered successful, but also failed."
"Huh? What kind of 'good job, but a bit crappy' talk is this?" Lu Yibei couldn't help but retort, then pressed, "Then is she dead or alive?"
"Both alive... and dead," Mao Sanyou said.
"..." Lu Yibei pondered Mao Sanyou's words for a moment, propped her chin with one hand, nodded, and said seriously, "So, Smelly Girl went from a plant to a vegetative state, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding Psychic and urban legend, including Turtle Elder, all cast strange glances at Lu Yibei.
Being watched by those hot gazes, some disgusted, some slightly angry, Jiang Li felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She tightened her grip on the long saber in her hand, took a few steps forward, and protected Lu Yibei and herself.
Just now, I don't know who said it might be dangerous for me to come here. Now it seems, she is the one who is more dangerous, right? Jiang Li thought helplessly.
Seeing this, Mao Sanyou hurriedly smiled apologetically at the crowd of Psychic and urban legend, motioning them to stay calm, then looked at Lu Yibei, and explained the situation happening to Ju Meng in detail.
Jiang Li listened along to Mao Sanyou's explanation from the side, and after a few seconds of contemplation, said, "Hmm, the situation does seem a bit troublesome! It sounds somewhat like the Ship of Theseus?"
"What's that?" Lu Yibei asked blankly.
"It's a paradox of identity," Jiang Li explained. "It asks whether, if the wood of Theseus's ship is gradually replaced until all the wood is no longer the original wood, is the ship still the original ship."
"Now, except for her name being the same as the original name, Ju Meng's Spiritual Energy and urban legend Ontology Core have both transformed. Whether she is still the Ju Meng she once was is open to debate."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, the malice in the eyes of the surrounding Psychic and urban legend immediately intensified.
Mao Sanyou, "..."
Are you two here to cause trouble?
At a time like this, why can't you say a single pleasant word?
If everyone decides to kill you later, I can't stop them! Mao Sanyou thought, silently moving a short distance away from Lu Yibei to avoid being injured innocently.
"Then she must be the Ju Meng she once was!" Lu Yibei thought for a moment and said earnestly, "How can you equate a ship and a urban legend?"
"Although her original body was destroyed and her Power changed, her soul is still the original soul, her memories are still the original memories, and the things she did will not change in the slightest because of this."
On this point, I have personal experience... Lu Yibei silently added in her heart.
She knew very well that after swallowing the witchs egg, her body was no longer the original body, and she had two different urban legend Powers within her, but everything she had experienced in the past had not been erased because of this. She always felt that she was still the original Lu Yibei.
Genuine!
Uh... it's just that now I have a bunch of messy titles more than before, but this doesn't affect me being me! Lu Yibei thought.
"Also..." Lu Yibei raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the Psychic and urban legend gathered by the huge pit, and said something startling, "You guys are all NTs, right?"
Mao Sanyou, "!!!"
Jiang Li, "..."
For a moment, Jiang Li and Mao Sanyou almost distanced themselves from her and left.
"You want to use the Power descriptions of Jumang and young master of fate to wake up Smelly Girl? Of course, you'll harm her! She wasn't originally Jumang or young master of fate, was she?"
"Think carefully, who was it that protected and helped you in the past? Was it Jumang? Was it young master of fate? Neither, right? Because the one who protected and helped you in the past was Ju Meng!"
"Yes, that's right! It was just Ju Meng, no one else!"
As Lu Yibei's words fell, the Psychic or urban legend at the edge of the huge pit fell silent, their faces showing contemplation.
They felt that Lu Yibei made some sense, but...
"But..." Turtle Elder, who had been thinking for a long time, lowered his massive head and asked Lu Yibei very seriously, "Then what do you think we should do to wake up the Boss?"
Lu Yibei pondered for a few seconds, straightened her back, and said confidently, "I don't know!"
I just gave a speech according to the normal flow of the story. I originally thought that Smelly Girl would wake up when I was halfway through my speech! Lu Yibei muttered to herself.
"..."
The crowd of Psychic and urban legend who had originally forgiven her, at this moment, suddenly wanted to kill her even more...
