Although Lu Yibei saw that Jiang Li deliberately concealed something when he mentioned Shui Ge, he did not expose her, but instead...
"It seems like Bai Kai has a big problem!" he said righteously, "He's just a male escort, but he got a Ling Neng item. Don't you think that's strange?"
"Leader, he might be connected to some cult organization. I want to uphold justice and report him. I hope you will investigate thoroughly!"
"Uh..." Jiang Li was also surprised by Lu Yibei's actions and paused for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Hmm, okay, I will investigate this person named Bai Kai." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Any other questions?"
"Yes, yes, let me think..." Lu Yibei pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, right! When I previously spied on Mr. Rabbit and his accomplice, I saw a strange tattoo on his accomplice."
When Lu Yibei mentioned the tattoo, Jiang Li's pupils constricted slightly, and her body trembled slightly, as if she had recalled something terrifying.
Lu Yibei did not notice Jiang Li's abnormality and continued, "I originally wanted to look for it in the si ye book, but when I was reading just now, I didn't find anything related to it..."
"Enough!" Before Lu Yibei could finish speaking, Jiang Li interrupted with a raised voice, "I know what tattoo you're talking about. The Night Watch has also been tracking them. You can think of them as an organization similar to terrorists."
"With your current ability, knowing this much is enough. You'd best not get involved in other matters."
Terrorists? Lu Yibei frowned slightly. Damn it! I don't want to get involved with these guys either! But they seem to have their eyes on me. They even stole my 'food' last night!
After hearing Jiang Li's explanation, Lu Yibei suddenly felt that the black-clad man stealing the Eyeball last night might have been trying to use the Ling Neng contained within it to carry out some terrorist attack.
If I can explain it clearly, I definitely have to tell Jiang Li about this, right? Lu Yibei thought. Now that he knew something might happen, but could only keep it to himself, it was too uncomfortable.
As Lu Yibei was pondering, Jiang Li got up and limped back to sit behind her desk, looking serious as she told Lu Yibei, "Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back now! Tomorrow—"
Halfway through her sentence, she remembered that Lu Yibei had many classes tomorrow and that it would be her turn to be on duty the day after tomorrow, so she paused and corrected herself, "Come back the day after tomorrow."
"But..."
But I still have so many questions I haven't asked!
Lu Yibei saw Jiang Li's cold expression and did not voice his thoughts, but instead pouted and turned to leave.
Jiang Li watched Lu Yibei leave. The moment he pushed open the office door, she suddenly thought of something and called out softly, "Wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else?" Lu Yibei asked, puzzled.
"Don't go out at night for the next two or three days. urban legend are more active for about three days, from the waning moon to the new moon," Jiang Li said faintly.
"Uh..." Lu Yibei nodded, "Speaking of which, I also thought of a very serious matter!"
"Speak."
"Leader, can you give me something else to protect myself? I don't have Ling Neng, so I can't use the mingwang statue, can I?"
It's not that he really couldn't use it! Lu Yibei thought. It's just that since he was already here, how could he go back empty-handed? If he could find a way to get some benefits, of course he would!
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint cold light flickered in her eyes, as if she was about to kill someone.
Lu Yibei, "..." Okay, I understand, sorry to bother you, I'll leave now! frёewebnoѵēl.com
...
On Peony Street, the wind swept through, and the ancient willows by the clear stream swayed, scattering withered leaves.
Lu Yibei walked on the ancient street, pondering silently.
Since urban legend can restore their Ling Neng by absorbing human fear and gaining belief, does that mean I won't have to work so hard to hunt in the future?
However, how can I make more people afraid, or believe in my existence?
Start a live stream? Record some short videos? I don't know if there's a distance limit.
I'll go back and register two accounts later and try it out. This isn't urgent for now. The most important thing today is to sneak into Girls' Dormitory Building Seven.
Although doing so is a bit shameful, people are starving to death, so what's the point of having face?
After finding the girl who is entangled with the Strange Tale, then...
"You are Lu Yibei, aren't you?"
As Lu Yibei was pondering, a gentle voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome, well-proportioned, and tall man who had appeared beside him at some point. He was looking at him with a gentle smile, giving off a feeling of warmth.
"You are?" Lu Yibei looked at the man with suspicious eyes.
"Haha, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Xuan, and I'm Agent Number Two of the Night Watch. Although you don't know me, I've heard a lot about you for a long time," Li Xuan said with a wry smile, "Someone even... for you, my car tires..."
Seemingly realizing he had misspoken, Li Xuan chuckled twice and said, "Haha, it's nothing, it's not important."
Agent Number Two? Jiang Li is Number Five, does this mean this guy is even more powerful than her? Lu Yibei mused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "So it's a colleague of the leader. Nice to meet you. Is there anything you need from me?"
"It's nothing much, I just saw you walking alone on the street looking dazed, so I came over to ask if you needed any help."
"Well..." Lu Yibei hesitated, then had an idea and told Li Xuan about his unsuccessful attempt to ask Jiang Li for something to protect himself earlier.
"Haha, don't mind it. It's not that Jiang Li doesn't want to give it to you, but she really doesn't have anything on hand that you can use."
As he spoke, Li Xuan fumbled around on his body for a moment, then took out a pale pebble carved with patterns of the moon, eyes, and birds, and handed it to Lu Yibei.
"This is an amulet I made in my spare time. If you wear it, it can bring good luck and ward off evil to some extent. Consider it my apology on behalf of Jiang Li. Oh, and this little trinket can also repel mosquitoes."
"Uh... thank you," Lu Yibei said blankly.
"Hmm, then I'll head to the Night Watch. It's my turn to be on duty today. I stayed up all night playing games with friends last night, so I'm already half a day late, haha!" Li Xuan smiled and waved at Lu Yibei, "See you later!"
He turned and walked towards the Night Watch.
Lu Yibei looked at Li Xuan's departing back, then at the cold pebble in his hand, and scratched the back of his head.
I didn't expect the Night Watch to have such a down-to-earth good person. Why is the leader I met such a petty ice queen? Tsk!
...
Hua City, in an apartment building near The Undergroundworldclub.
This was an extremely flamboyant room, with Tiffany blue wallpaper, mirror glass on the ceiling, and a waterbed mattress on the peach-colored round bed, giving it a somewhat erotic hotel feel.
On the large round bed, a hot, fair-skinned blonde woman was sleeping soundly in Bai Kai's arms. The messy bed told of the Iraqi-war-level bombardment of the previous night.
Bai Kai held his phone to his ear with one hand, his expression gradually turning serious. Then he glanced at the woman beside him, carefully got out of bed, wrapped a towel around his lower body, left the room, closed the door, and walked towards the living room.
"...In short, Lu Yibei reported you, suspecting you of involvement in cult activities." Jiang Li's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "By the way, does he really dislike you?"
"You're talking nonsense! How could Xiao Bei dislike me? When he encountered such a thing, he chose to report it, which shows he has a sense of justice and high vigilance!"
"I still think he dislikes you."
"Shut up! What's wrong with you guys? Didn't you say it was handled properly and that you had used a Spell to make Xiao Bei not notice my connection to the mingwang statue?" Bai Kai complained.
"So unreliable! Believe it or not, I'll go to your bedside tonight and play the water zither?!"
"Last time you ran fast, but if you dare to come this time, I'll make you switch from being a male escort to an exotic dancer and hermaphrodite." Jiang Li said in a flat tone, but her words carried a convincing power.
"Tsk!" Bai Kai spat dismissively, acting tough but shrinking his neck timidly.
"You'd better find a way to deal with Lu Yibei's side soon. Next time, I won't lie for you," Jiang Li said.
Due to her past experiences, she particularly disliked lies, whether it was deceiving others or being deceived.
"Alright, alright, I know! You're so long-winded!" Bai Kai responded perfunctorily, hung up the phone, then picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it with a 'click,' and looked thoughtful.
Xiao Bei also deleted the new number. If I call now, he won't answer, and I definitely won't be able to find him. I can only...
"Shui Ge~! Where did you go?!" A soft, alluring call from the bedroom interrupted Bai Kai's thoughts.
"Shui Ge~!"
"Coming, coming! You little vixen, you're really clinging to me! Take this! Hehehe~!"
As Bai Kai spoke, he 'whooshed' off the towel wrapped around his waist, laughed lewdly, and rushed towards the bedroom.
...
Not long after Jiang Li hung up Bai Kai's call, A Hua walked in angrily.
"Miss! That brat is really too thick-skinned. I heard everything outside just now!" A Hua said indignantly, "He already has a blessed mingwang statue, and he's still so greedy!"
As she spoke, she swung her fists twice in the air and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "Miss, do you need me to chase him out and teach him a lesson?"
"No need. It's not that I don't want to give it to him, it's just..."
Members of the Night Watch are not all Psychic. In fact, a large portion of the members are not Psychic, and they also have specially equipped gear.
It's just that those pieces of equipment are not only effective against urban legend, but also highly lethal weapons for ordinary people. Casually giving them to a university student doesn't seem appropriate no matter how you look at it.
As for the few Ling Neng items in the Hua City Si Ye Hui that can be used without Ling Neng, their effects are either similar to the mingwang statue or are used to detect urban legend, which Lu Yibei simply wouldn't need.
Pondering, Jiang Li sighed softly, "Ai, A Hua, can you go out first? I want to be alone for a bit."
A Hua saw a hint of worry between Jiang Li's brows and asked concernedly, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Li gently shook her head, "You go out!"
"Yes, Miss..." A Hua responded softly, walked a few steps out, then turned back and said to Jiang Li, "Miss, I'm right outside the door. Just call me if you need anything."
"Mm." Jiang Li nodded slightly. After A Hua left the office, she got up and walked towards the mirror in the corner of the room, unbuttoning her gray-blue snowflake cloak as she went.
As the cloak slipped down her smooth back, her long hair fell. She covered her chest with one hand, stood in front of the mirror, and slowly turned around. With her other hand, she gently pushed aside the silver strands hanging down her back, and a black sun totem was reflected in the mirror.
She watched the tattoo out of the corner of her eye, deep in thought.
Eclipse Society...
One day, I will personally destroy you all! Jiang Li thought, her gaze turning cold.
