Free Web NovelThe moment Jiang Li suggested taking Bai Kai's place, Qi Dong rejected her request without a second thought.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Hearing this, Jiang Li tilted her head, looked at Qi Dong, then at Bai Kai, feeling puzzled.
"Why can you two go, but I can't?"
"No, Jiang... Miao Miao Jiang!" Bai Kai explained earnestly, "The things in that place are virtual, the water is too deep inside, you can't handle it. Listen to Uncle's advice, let Uncle go!"
"That's right!" Qi Dong said seriously, "Don't blame us for speaking frankly, we are also worried that you will go and never return!"
"..." Jiang Li looked at Bai Kai and Qi Dong, and after two seconds of thought, said, "You two just now, you didn't explain the whole situation clearly, did you?"
"You must be hiding something else from me, right?"
As she spoke, her chin lifted slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flickered in her eyes. An invisible sense of oppression filled the private room instantly.
It was just like releasing Overlord Haki.
Jiang Li's "eye kill" was indeed very effective for most people, but if the person being stared at had no sense of shame at all, the eye kill would be completely useless.
Bai Kai and Qi Dong, one was a veteran copper pea, and the other was a perennial old fritter. They themselves didn't know where their bottom line was, let alone a sense of shame.
Let her be strong, my face is like a city wall!
"Don't, don't look at me like that! I'll tell you everything!"
Unable to bear the suffocating sense of oppression, Gu Xiliu cried out.
"They didn't dare tell you, if you go in, you will lose yourself just like Lu Yibei!"
Damn it! Where did this pig teammate come from?
Bai Kai and Qi Dong both looked at the flustered Gu Xiliu, rolled their eyes, and were speechless for a moment.
"Lost yourself?" Jiang Li tilted her head, casting an inquiring look at Gu Xiliu.
Gu Xiliu shrank her neck and said weakly, "Actually, actually..."
"Hey, how about I tell her?" Bai Kai interrupted Gu Xiliu and said, "Actually..."
----
Just now, Bai Kai and Qi Dong only told Jiang Li about Lu Yibei's whereabouts and what they were doing, but they didn't tell her the risks of this trip.
It wasn't until she pressed them that the pig teammate instantly surrendered, and the two were forced to compromise.
A day ago, they discovered that the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast that had invaded that ghostly place, under the secret influence of the Eclipse Society, suddenly became active, making the situation even more complicated and dangerous.
Now, even Gu Xiliu, who wanted to simply rely on dreams to send her consciousness in and temporarily attach herself to Lu Yibei or a random person to transmit information to him, would be strongly interfered with, or even intercepted or attacked by the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast.
So, just an hour ago, Bai Kai and Qi Dong decided to try one last method - using Gu Xiliu's special nature to perform a ritual and send themselves in to personally search for Lu Yibei.
During this process, there would inevitably be a period of time when they were completely unprotected.
Although this time was very short, the possibility of being attacked by the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast could not be completely ruled out.
What's more, that special space was built on the foundation of Hua City's projection.
It can be said that except for people like Gu Xiliu, who were originally from there, anyone who entered it would experience the same result as Lu Yibei under the rules constructed by Qinan Bamboo using her remaining Power and the large amount of memories flooding into their minds.
To be honest, even someone like Bai Kai, who considered himself to have experienced many things and whose mind was already very resilient, felt that he was not sure he could recognize reality in a short time when faced with the temptation of "life restarting with a beautiful trajectory."
He wasn't necessarily able to bear it, let alone a young person with a dark past like Jiang Li, who would be even less able to bear it.
Bai Kai was really worried that she would lose herself if she entered that special space.
If Jiang Li was really sent in, Bai Kai was worried that not only would she be unable to wake Lu Yibei and bring him back, but she would also be given away for nothing.
Wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire?
----
After finishing the supplementary explanation, Bai Kai spread his hands, "That's the situation. Strictly speaking, this trip is not only risky, but also very risky, so..."
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly became serious and looked at Jiang Li's eyes with burning gaze, "Let me try first?"
Feeling the determined emotion in Bai Kai's words, a trace of hesitation appeared in Jiang Li's eyes, but it quickly returned to its usual calm state.
"Alright! However, we have to act immediately to avoid any further complications."
Since Bai Kai was so insistent, it was good to let him personally test the reliability of the ritual first... Jiang Li muttered to herself.
In her opinion, if Bai Kai failed, it would not be too late for her to try, and if Bai Kai succeeded, with only Gu Xiliu left, she was also confident that she could persuade Gu Xiliu to perform the ritual again.
In short, whether Bai Kai succeeded or not, she could follow Bai Kai into that special space, and there was no need to get stuck on this issue and waste time.
"..." Bai Kai opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.
Why don't you persist a little! If you persist, maybe I'll change my mind?
I'm also very scared to go to that ghostly place, okay?
Forget it, as an elder, I should have the magnanimity to take risks for the younger generation... Bai Kai thought.
While Bai Kai and Jiang Li were confronting each other, Gu Xiliu quietly pulled Qi Dong's sleeve and whispered, "Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask for a long time, who is this Sister anyway?"
Bai Kai had seen Jiang Li appear as Miao Miao Jiang, and Qi Dong, as an old fritter, had guessed who the Miss in front of him was through Jiang Li's every move and Bai Kai's behavior, but Gu Xiliu had completely failed to recognize her.
Qi Dong was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Xiliu with a black question mark face, "No, after all this time, you still haven't recognized who she is?"
"Uh..."
"Then why are you afraid of her?"
"Because she looks very fierce!" Gu Xiliu said very seriously.
Qi Dong, "..." This child, is she not awake yet? Why is she so silly?
----
A moment later, in the luxurious private room of the Underground Human Realm club.
Bai Kai and Gu Xiliu sat cross-legged facing each other, with bright yellow talismans drawing Spells densely pasted on their foreheads.
It looked like they were playing poker and sticking strips, having lost more than a dozen grand slams. freewebnøvel.com
On the coffee table under Bai Kai, complicated solidified Spell combinations were outlined with cinnabar. The way these Spells were drawn was completely different from the currently circulated structures, and their form had an ancient feel.
When Qi Dong was drawing these Spells, Jiang Li was once surprised by his proficiency in mastering this ancient Spell, but she didn't say much.
Who doesn't have a little secret?
Just as there is no rule that Night Watch agents cannot moonlight as male escorts, cannot be sleepy, and cannot be addicted to gambling.
Nor is there a rule that a Special Operations Team member with a Spiritual Energy fluctuation level of only D-level cannot master the method of drawing ancient Spells.
"Are you ready?" Jiang Li asked softly.

"Mm." Bai Kai nodded.
Jiang Li looked at Qi Dong, who was standing beside Bai Kai, "Then let's start too?"
"Okay!" Qi Dong responded and silently recited the description of that urban legend Power that he was unwilling to reveal.
Born as a spirit, speaking its name, praising with black ink, singing "Nine Shao"... Where the sun and moon shine, where the wind and rain reach, none do not obey.
As Qi Dong finished silently reciting the long description of the Power in his heart, the solidified Spell drawn with cinnabar suddenly glowed with a faint red light, which gradually intensified.
At the moment when the light turned from red to gold, a soft "pop!" echoed.
Jiang Li poured the substitute for the source spirits - pure silver - from the crystal bottle.
Under the traction of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, the mercury-like liquid droplets turned into fine threads, flying towards the talismans on Bai Kai and Gu Xiliu's foreheads respectively.
"Poof!"
The threads of pure silver touched the talismans and immediately burst into silver flames, instantly engulfing the talismans and emitting countless tiny silver electric arcs that frantically moved along Bai Kai's body surface. The solidified Spell under him also glowed brightly.
Under the reflection of the gold and silver light, Gu Xiliu's body suddenly convulsed violently as if she had an epileptic seizure.
In a trance, a blurry shadow drifted out from the top of her head, flew towards Bai Kai, and merged into his brow.
On the other side, Bai Kai, who was enveloped in light, gradually faded, leaving only a blurry outline, as if he had suddenly turned into a ball of mist that would dissipate with a gust of wind.
As the ritual ended, Gu Xiliu's body went limp and she fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Jiang Li stepped forward, caught Gu Xiliu before her head hit the coffee table, supported her, and then took a pillow with her backhand and gently placed her head on the pillow.
"Did it succeed?" Jiang Li looked at Qi Dong and asked softly.
Qi Dong nodded, then after two seconds of thought, shook his head, and then nodded again.
Jiang Li frowned, "Did it succeed or not?"
"It succeeded, but not completely."
"..." Jiang Li opened her mouth, just about to say something, when the Spiritual Energy fluctuations in the room suddenly intensified.
The next moment, Bai Kai's figure completely disappeared.
However, in less than three seconds, a figure, as if teleported by some inexplicable, unstable teleportation Spell, shot down from the ceiling and hit the ground with a "thump!"
Looking closely, it was indeed Bai Kai.
At this moment, Qi Dong looked at Jiang Li and shrugged, "That's what I mean."
Jiang Li, "..."
----
That night, in an old but clean small hotel.
At the desk, the desk lamp emitted a warm light.
Wang Meili sat upright at the desk, holding an old fountain pen, and thought for a long time before finally picking up the pen and writing a sentence on the letter paper in front of her.
"My child, seeing this letter is like seeing you: I am now using this letter to say goodbye to you forever..."
She had just finished writing a line and paused slightly, preparing to continue writing, when she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up, looking out the window.
Those golden eyes seemed to be gazing at the wind and snow outside the window, and also seemed to be looking at something more distant, something else.
"Who came in?"
Wang Meili mumbled, grabbed in the air, and a photo appeared out of thin air in her hand. Looking closely, her expression instantly became playful.
In the photo, in a chaotic dark space, Bai Kai was like a cannonball, his body straight, flying towards a huge bubble of light and shadow in front of him, about to crash into it headfirst.
"Why is it this noob Bai Kai?" Wang Meili frowned slightly and mumbled, "Could it be that he wants to go in and find Xiao Bei?"
"This won't do. If he gets lost in there and can't come back, wouldn't the dog life that girl risked her life to exchange for him be wasted? So..."
"You'd better hurry up and get the hell back for this old lady!"
As her voice fell, a fierce look flashed in Wang Meili's eyes. She gently rubbed the photo with her fingers, and a wisp of flame shot out from between her fingers, instantly burning the photo to ashes.
----
Everything around him seemed like an illusion, and the scenery in front of him seemed to have faded, leaving only black and white.
Before he could react, Bai Kai felt a strong sense of weightlessness, his body uncontrollably falling and even spinning.
The next moment, his vision went black, and he fell into a sudden daze.
It was as if he was being dragged by something and suddenly fell into an abyss, his body falling without support, falling again and again, until he saw that huge bubble.
Like an illusion, countless soft whispers appeared in his ears, flooding into his soul, recounting past events he had never experienced.
His brow twitched faintly and intensely. Even as a Psychic, his consciousness was drowned when faced with this vast stream of information.
In a trance, he seemed to see Inspector Xing Yuan still by his side at the age of eighteen, never leaving, never leaving...
Bai Kai desperately held onto the last shred of rationality and flew towards the huge bubble in front of him. Just then, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his body.
Bai Kai, "???"
What the heck? What's going on? Did the ritual fail?
It was as if he had been kicked away by someone, he felt «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» himself rapidly retreating in the opposite direction of the huge bubble.
Soon, he fell into a long coma.
----
...I love you very much, and it is this thought of loving you that prompted me to bravely face death..."
Wang Meili had just finished writing a paragraph when her pen paused again.
That feeling of someone breaking in appeared again.
"Who else came in? I think these people completely disregard this old lady! I want to see which inconsiderate guy it is!"
Wang Meili muttered and flipped her wrist, and a photo appeared in her hand again. She looked closely at the photo.
When she saw the blonde, hot-bodied girl in the photo, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
"Another one? I didn't expect that dead Lu Ming's eye for choosing a daughter-in-law was quite good! But with so many relationships, won't it be a little..."
"Forget it, if I don't act like a sea king for a few years, how can I contract a fish pond for a certain girl in the future?"
This time, she did not stop Jiang Li from entering the special space. She silently put away the photo in her hand and continued to bury herself in writing the letter she was preparing to leave for Lu Yibei.
Husband's good brother wants to come in? No!
Daughter-in-law wants to come in? Yes!
