Looking at the unconscious Silver Horn, swollen into a spherical shape, Jin Jiao couldn't help but sigh.
“Sigh—!”
Although he usually bickered with Silver Horn and disliked his low emotional intelligence, having worked together for two or three years, he had long considered Silver Horn a brother.
Now, seeing his brother suffer and being unable to help, Jin Jiao felt a sense of melancholy.
The Shanhai Pass area has always been rich in urban legend and legends, with a large number of Night Watch members stationed there.
The matter was of great importance, and dozens of Night Watch members acted together. In less than half a day, they found clues about the bionic monster and ruled out the possibility that it was the source of the black night disease in Hua City.
The source of the disease was narrowed down to only the Invasion Beast, but they were stuck in a deadlock.
Although the black night disease epidemic in Hua City has been well controlled with the help of the Alchemy medicine developed by Silver Horn, and Berses has been imprisoned, the situation seems to be looking good.
However, this is only temporary.
According to the intelligence held by the Night Watch, the power of the Invasion Beast will change and strengthen as it replicates Power.
Once it replicates some powerful urban legend Power and its strength increases, the black night disease epidemic in Hua City might flare up again.
We can't always let Silver Horn risk his life to test poisons and develop inhibitory drugs, can we?
Although this is also a solution when there are no other options, it is not a long-term plan, and...
I really can't stand his ghostly appearance... Jin Jiao thought, glancing at the unconscious Silver Horn in the isolation room, and sighed silently.
“Da da da—!”
The light sound of leather boots hitting the ground rang out.
A Special Operations Team member walked quickly from the end of the corridor and stopped in front of Jin Jiao, “Adult Secretary, that prisoner...”
The Special Operations Team member's words were cut short by Jin Jiao's gesture to silence him.
“This is not the place to report the situation. Let's go over there to talk.”
Jin Jiao looked around, walked quickly to the emergency exit at one end of the corridor, and then beckoned to the Special Operations Team member.
As the Special Operations Team member followed, he chanted a Spell, simply cast a soundproofing Spell, and said solemnly, “Speak, what's the situation? Did he confess?”
“No, no...”
“If not, why did you come to me?”
“This...” The Special Operations Team member said weakly, “I came to report to you that B2016 not only hasn't confessed but is also constantly trying to escape from prison. In just half a day, he has already tried more than twenty times, and he has almost drained all the blood from his body.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“If this continues...”
“Are you afraid he will kill himself?” Jin Jiao asked.
“Yes.”
“Hmph!” Jin Jiao snorted coldly, “If he wants to court death, let him. I'll go over later and transfer him to the lowest level cell!”
“Alright, thank you for making the trip. Is that all for now?”
“Yes!” The Special Operations Team member responded and turned to leave.

In the evening, Amber House.
Amidst the sky full of rosy clouds, the ancient mansion showed a decaying aura.
In the quiet and eerie building, at the end of the top floor corridor, the dark solid wood door was slightly ajar. The blood-colored sunset shone through the crack, casting a slender light spot on the wooden floor.
In the room, Jiang Li stood in front of the full-length mirror of the wardrobe, wrapped in a bath towel. Her slightly damp long hair was coiled up, and a faint white mist was still rising. A few crystal water droplets were on her fair and slightly slender fragrant shoulders.
Alone, she took a Tibetan silver lotus pendant from the bedside table, returned to the mirror, gently untied the bath towel, turned around, and used the warm light of the bedside lamp to illuminate the dark sun totem on her smooth back.
As if suddenly thinking of something, she frowned, a cold light flashing in her eyes. With a slight turn of her wrist, the hand holding the pendant, her fingertips glowed with silver-white light.
Her pink lips parted slightly, and she chanted a Sanskrit Spell in a low voice. Accompanied by the chanting of the Spell, which sounded like an ancient ballad, the silver-white light on her fingertips became brighter and brighter, and in an instant, it turned into brilliant gold. Amidst the swirling golden light, faint lotus petals seemed to be dancing.
Under the guidance of her Spiritual Energy, the Tibetan silver pendant in her palm flew up and circled on the ceiling.
The sunset outside the window gradually sank below the horizon, and the light in the room became dimmer, but the golden light on the Tibetan silver pendant became stronger and stronger.
As Jiang Li's thought moved, the pendant, which was entwined with golden light, seemed to be guided, and suddenly fell, flying towards the black tattoo on her back. The golden light drew a trajectory in the air, like a meteor.
Just as the pendant was about to touch the black tattoo, it suddenly made a muffled sound as if it had hit an invisible wall, and golden electric arcs spread in all directions.
“Bang—!”
The pendant hovered less than a finger's width from Jiang Li's skin, spinning at high speed, radiating even more brilliant and dazzling light.
In an instant, Jiang Li's body convulsed as if electrocuted. Her face turned pale, and the intense pain felt like her soul was being peeled away, but she bit her lip tightly, not making a sound.
Strands of black gas floated out from the black tattoo on her back and merged into the Tibetan silver pendant.
Soon, the pendant stopped spinning, as if it had exhausted all its strength, and fell onto the solid wood floor with a soft “Plop!” sound.
“Gurgle... Gurgle...” The fallen pendant swayed back and forth on the ground.
The golden light entwined around it and the bright silver surface dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few breaths, the silver lotus turned pitch black.
Then...
“Crack!” It shattered.
Hearing the sound of the pendant shattering, Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, came back to her senses, her pupils contracted, her face turned pale and green, and she quickly lowered her head to look.
On the ground, the pitch-black lotus petals were shattered into pieces, scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the completely damaged pendant, her eyes gradually turned cold.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that when she was in front of the cold storage door, she should have risked being suspended and killed Berses with one strike.
Ever since she met Berses earlier, the Eclipse Society totem on her back became active, forcing her to take out this pendant again to suppress it. She never expected it to be damaged because of this.
Although there are many other Spiritual Energy items that can replace this pendant and continue to help her suppress the Eclipse Society totem.
But...
“Creak!”
The door of the room opened, and A Hua came in holding clean clothes. Seeing the damaged pendant on the ground, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed.
“Oh dear! How could the pendant given by Benefactor...”
As she spoke, A Hua looked at Jiang Li, whose face was as gloomy as water, grinned, and quickly changed the subject to comfort her, “Miss, don't be sad. Although the pendant given by Benefactor is broken, haven't you found Lu Yibei now? Let him give you an identical one later, won't that be fine?”
Hearing this, Jiang Li's expression softened slightly, and she pouted coquettishly at A Hua, “A Hua, are you getting more and more gossipy lately? You're almost catching up to Li Xuan.”
After speaking, she looked at A Hua, who was sticking out her tongue and playing dumb, gently shook her head, bent down, picked up the fragments of the pendant, turned around, and carefully put them into the jewelry box.
Lu Yibei...
Where on earth did she go?
Even her dependents and the Monster Story Chat Group don't know... Jiang Li thought.
————
In the early morning, Hua City, Li Gong University faculty and staff compound, Lu Yibei's home.
When she fainted from the unbearable intense pain originating from within her body, Lu Yibei realized that she seemed to have courted death too much.
At the moment her nerves “broke” and her consciousness fell into silence, everything in front of her quickly shattered, diffusing like invisible gas and crushed crystals, slowly melting into darkness.
She didn't know how long had passed, probably only a few hours, but it felt as long as several years.

A scorching wind blew, and the dust and tiny sand particles mixed in the wind brushed against Lu Yibei's face, bringing waves of itching.
“Ying Wu...”
With a soft moan, she opened her eyes.
Thus, the illusory bubble shattered, and the darkness unfolded like a huge curtain, revealing the scene hidden behind the curtain.
Amidst the intense dizziness and pain, she saw a dilapidated and abandoned residential area.
The red brick buildings were square, like the architectural style of the 1970s and 1980s. Most of the houses were dark, and a few broken metal pipes were still hanging on the walls.
The windows of the houses were broken, the dusty curtains could no longer be distinguished in terms of their original color, exposed on the red brick walls, fluttering in the wind like ghosts.
Moss covered the walls, weeds grew wildly in the open spaces, and the blackened chimney in the distance was very, very tall, as if extending to the end of the sky, lonely and desolate.
This seemed to be a factory.
In the sky, the sunlight seemed to be distorted by some force, casting a gray sunlight.
Under the sky, everything was silent. The entire factory seemed to have died, leaving only “corpses”, turning into ruins.
The strong wind blowing in the air was also silent, carrying a scorching aura, hitting people's faces.
Black dust generated by the burning fire was wrapped in the wind, dancing in front of her eyes like swarms of butterflies, with malicious mockery.
Where... was this place? Lu Yibei thought in confusion.
“Wuwu... Wuwuwu...”
Suddenly, a child's cry tore through the fierce silence.
The crying was very suppressed, as if she was desperately trying to restrain herself from making a sound.
Following the direction of the sound, faint shadows walked from the direction of the factory entrance.
They were in groups, dozens of people forming a long queue, constantly muttering something in low voices.
Lu Yibei could not hear the content of their whispers, but she could feel the power contained in their words: blasphemy, rebellion, and hope.
Under the scorching sun of distorted daylight, their figures were like ghosts, their outlines blurred...
Except for that little girl.
At the very front of the long queue, the leading figure was holding a little girl. The little girl looked about five or six years old, with a round face, a mushroom cut, and some dark chestnut color in her black hair.
Lu Yibei frowned, “...” How does she look a little like Gu Qianqian?
The little girl was lying in the arms of the leading figure, her two small hands tightly grasping the figure's clothes, sobbing in a low voice, her pair of eyes, like top-quality agate, covered with a thick mist.
Looking at the group of figures that looked like ghosts, walking away with the little girl, Lu Yibei suddenly came back to her senses and shouted at those figures.
“What do you want to do to her? Where are you taking her!?”
But, it seemed like no one heard her, and they gradually walked away.
Lu Yibei's voice echoed in the ruins of the factory. In the sky, something seemed to be awakened by her voice, opening its eyes and casting an indifferent glance at her.
In that gaze, she did not feel obvious malice, but a strange fear rose from the depths of her heart.
That feeling was like the look her Old Dad gave her when she was a child, made a dish of drunken crabs for him, and he found out afterwards that she had used the 1971 Sunflower Brand Maotai left by her Grandpa for cooking.
That day, although she wasn't beaten to death, she spent most of the rest of the summer in bed.
The space suddenly began to vibrate violently.
“Hmph—!”
A soft, lazy, and somewhat domineering nasal sound seemed to cross countless voids and came from afar. The gray sunlight in the sky was instantly ignited, casting astonishing heat onto the earth.
In an instant, the sunlight was fierce and extremely malicious.
Bathed in the sunlight, the pain, like a potent poison, raged in the depths of Lu Yibei's consciousness.
“Screech—Sizzle—Rip—!”
It was as if a sharp object scratched a blackboard, electrical wires short-circuited and sparked, a large amount of paper was torn... All sorts of maddening noises mixed with unintelligible babbling sounded in her ears.
More and more, stronger and stronger, more and more chaotic.
Amidst the noise, the dream began to become illusory and hazy, everything was moving away, and then shattering...
————
In the sudden violent vibration, Lu Yibei immediately broke free from the dream, trembling all over as she woke up from the dream. The crazy thoughts in her mind crawled slowly like worms, then lay dormant and fell into silence.
Opening her eyes, sunlight spilled through the gaps in the curtains.
For a moment, Lu Yibei, whose consciousness had not completely left the dream, felt a trace of fear in her heart the moment she felt the sunlight, and subconsciously dodged into the corner.
“Hoo... Hoo...”
Shrinking in the corner of the bed by the wall, she took a few breaths, raised her head and looked around, finding herself in her own bedroom, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
What on earth is going on?
The past two days I only dreamed about things related to myself, but this time I actually dreamed about other people's affairs... Could it be related to the notebook found in Half-Mountain Apartment?
Could it be that the scene I dreamed of was something the owner of the notebook experienced?
Lu Yibei thought, rubbing her head. Her fingers ran through her silver-white long hair, and the silky smooth touch on her fingertips made her slightly stunned, but soon her brows relaxed, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes.
“...”
Wasn't it like this the night before yesterday?
It's just an illusion. At most, only I and Gu Qianqian can see it.
Not a big problem!
Lu Yibei thought, while slowly climbing out of bed, planning to go to the bathroom to wash up simply and check out her stunning beauty.
Who doesn't love a fair-skinned, beautiful girl with long legs, especially one with white hair who is a special target for Z Country?
Even if it's just her ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) reflection in the mirror, being able to look at it every morning is a pleasant and invigorating thing that can lift your spirits all day.
Then...
As soon as she got out of bed, her pants slid down to the floor without any obstruction. A chill came from her lower body, and she instantly froze in place as if petrified.
“Gulp—!”
Lu Yibei swallowed hard, her gaze slowly moved down, past her flat and fair lower abdomen, and saw her flawless legs like jade pillars.
“...”
Who said there was no problem just now?
Now there's a big problem!
No, no, this is an illusion!
She tentatively moved her feet.
The pair of pink and round toes in her line of sight shook their heads, as if saying to her in a childish voice, “Cute, right? We are your toes, that's right! Your second brother is indeed gone!”
In an instant, her pupils contracted, her breathing quickened, her heart rate accelerated, and her blood pressure fluctuated like a fund chart.
Lu Yibei, “!!!”
(,#ﾟДﾟ)
Impossible, my second brother is invincible!
