Lu Yibei stared at Chatterbox Girl with a poker face. After a brief silence, she spread her hands helplessly and said, "So, there's no room for negotiation?"
"Uh, for now, no..." Chatterbox Girl replied guiltily, patted Lu Yibei on the shoulder, and changed the subject, saying, "But, don't you worry!"
"Didn't Sister tell you? If there's a problem, I'll cover for you!"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei frowned, feeling that things were not simple. "Your so-called 'covering for me' ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) means letting me pay with my life to cheat, right?"
"Uh... hehe." Chatterbox Girl gave a dry laugh, not giving a direct answer.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Although paying with my life is better than having no life, why do I feel like I've been tricked?
It's like being lured into a consumption trap by an unscrupulous merchant, with forced consumption linked one after another. The difference is, unscrupulous merchants want money, and Chatterbox Girl wants lives...
Lu Yibei muttered a few words to herself and finally compromised, saying, "Okay, given the current situation, I can only do as you say."
"However, before setting off, I still have two questions. Could you please answer them for me?"
Chatterbox Girl straightened her back and made a gesture of invitation. "Speak freely!"
"The first question..." Lu Yibei organized her words slightly and said, "According to you, although the spirits in the special space are born from the projection of Hua City, their lives are relatively independent."
"If that's the case, why do people who come in from the outside merge with their projections? After merging, where did the original spirits go?"
"Well..." Chatterbox Girl pondered for two seconds and explained vaguely, "Let's put it this way! When the genuine article arrives, the fake is no longer needed. If only one can remain, after reading the data of the fake, the fake can naturally only be scrapped, right?"
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment and tentatively whispered, "Dead?"
"..."
Chatterbox Girl's lips were tightly sealed, not saying a word, but from her slightly dimmed eyes, Lu Yibei had already received a positive answer.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yibei nodded and asked the next question, "The second question is, you just said that after I successfully control this special space, it might attract big trouble?" freёwebnoѵel.com
"Then can you tell me, what specific big troubles are there?"
Having trouble is not scary, what's scary is not knowing what the trouble is at all.
If you know what troubles there are, you can be fully prepared.
For troubles that can be solved, strike first and turn them into their troubles. For troubles that cannot be solved temporarily, think of countermeasures in advance. For troubles that cannot be solved at all, plan escape routes. Lu Yibei thought.
Chatterbox Girl opened her mouth and sighed silently, saying, "First of all, the Night Watch will definitely keep an eye on you."
"And it's not like the lenient surveillance where they only sent a Superintendent to contact you after you completed the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. It's secret and strict surveillance, the kind where they want to count how many nose hairs you have."
"They might even prepare a major killing weapon specifically to restrict you, just like they established the Tang City barrier against Ju Meng."
"Ah? What the hell, why?" Lu Yibei said innocently, "I thought my persona with the Night Watch was always that of a law-abiding urban legend!"
Hearing Chatterbox Girl say this, Lu Yibei felt a little flustered.
Is it okay to have an unsolvable problem right from the start?
Although due to the Night Watch's misjudgment of Ju Meng's strength, the Tang City barrier could only severely injure Ju Meng and could not ensure a kill.
But the thought of the Night Watch possibly preparing a 'cannon' near Hua City still made her feel uneasy.
If they can't kill her in one go, won't they finish her off?
"Someone who is already on the wanted list has the nerve to call themselves law-abiding?" Chatterbox Girl retorted.
Lu Yibei, "..."
"It's very simple!" Seeing her not speak, Chatterbox Girl spread her hands and said, "Didn't I just say? In the eyes of the Night Watch, this special space is an illegal building that they can't demolish for now, so they can only seal it up."
"If someone or a urban legend helps to destroy this special space, the Night Watch will not only not pursue it but might even send a small silk banner."
"But if you control this place, it's different!"
"Not only have you taken possession of the sealed illegal building, but you have also gained control of a dangerous weapon that can destroy a city at any time, or even cause damage to a larger area..."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei understood Chatterbox Girl's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand, I understand. This is like local criminal forces suddenly gaining control of weapons of mass destruction. The nature of the situation immediately changes, right?"
"Mhm..." Chatterbox Girl replied, "However, without violating principles, I still hope you don't oppose them."
"Understood!" Lu Yibei nodded.
Although the Night Watch is a bit poor and unreliable, they have indeed been working hard to maintain stability for so many years.
Now I have suddenly become a big destabilizing factor. They haven't called three or five Calamity Psychics to come to my door and directly get rid of me. Just monitoring is already very friendly. Who isn't living under surveillance these days?
It's like that day when I was scrolling through short videos and just said, "I'm dying of laughter!" Then I opened the Taobao homepage, and it immediately gave me recommendations for funeral supplies, like some kind of underworld business.
Lu Yibei thought, and pressed on, "Actually, the Night Watch isn't a big trouble. There should be other troubles, right?"
"..." Chatterbox Girl hesitated, her lips slightly parted. She paused for a few seconds and said, "Do you know that before you were born, you almost died three times?"
"Ah? Before I was born?" Lu Yibei looked at Chatterbox Girl in confusion, unable to figure out what her controlling this special space had to do with almost dying before she was born.
"Simply put, someone had a grudge against your parents, or simply didn't want to see you born, and took action," Chatterbox Girl explained.
"Later, your Old Dad and Mom spent a lot of time reasoning with those people first, then resorting to force, which is why you were able to come into this world."
"Before, those people might have turned a blind eye to your existence, but once you control this special space, I can't guarantee whether they will come looking for trouble with you."
As the saying goes, a dead tiger still has its might.
In fact, as long as this special space and the remaining Power of Ms. Wang Meili exist for one day, those people, fearing Ms. Wang Meili, would not dare to lay a hand on Lu Yibei.
Although this special space didn't actually provide her with any substantial protection, those with malicious intentions didn't know that!
In this situation, even if someone brought up the past, they would definitely hypocritically say, "The person is already dead, the past is like smoke, let it be!" or pretend to be benevolent and say, "I am magnanimous and just gave that little brat a way out."
However, if Lu Yibei wants to control this special space, she must inherit the remaining Power of Ms. Wang Meili.
After that, she will definitely have to spend a long time to fully integrate the newly acquired Power.
During this process, she will not only find it difficult to exert the power of Ms. Wang Meili's remaining Power, but even her original strength may be hindered by this huge "inheritance", making it impossible to fully utilize it.
At that time, it is unknown whether those who were once beaten into submission by Lu Ming and Ms. Wang Meili will have malicious intentions again.
Therefore, children without parents are truly miserable.
"Holy crap?! Is it that malicious? Three times in a row, how badly did they want me dead?" Lu Yibei said indignantly, "Tell me who they are, and if I see them in the future..."
"Uh, I'll definitely take a detour! If that doesn't work, I'll also go and harm their children, so they know how dangerous the road home from school is!"
"After beating up their children, hey, I'll run to the Night Watch. They wouldn't dare to come to the Night Watch to trouble me, right?"
Chatterbox Girl, "..."
As expected of you. When I heard the first half of the sentence, I thought you were going to confront them head-on!
The result is going to bully children?
Very good, very despicable, I like it very much! Chatterbox Girl thought.
"I can tell you, but I only know that members of the Eclipse Society were involved, but they only accounted for a very small part. I don't know what forces the others are from."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei frowned and said dismissively, "If you don't know, what are you talking about? I hate you anxiety-mongering people the most."
This feeling is like a Teacher telling you that there will be an exam next week but not telling you the scope or when the exam will be. You know the test is imminent but can only worry anxiously.
"I..." Chatterbox Girl hesitated. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Where the hell do you want me to know?
Do I have to tell you that when I found this special space, I had already killed too many people and urban legend, and I accidentally killed those guys? Chatterbox Girl thought.
In fact, she had too many enemies, and sometimes she didn't even know why the other party attacked her.
Who knows if it was because they had a grudge against Lu Ming and Qinan Bamboo back then, or if they vaguely predicted the threat of the Disaster, or if it was because she helped up an old Grandma who had fallen and was trying to extort money, and then in turn swindled all of her pension?
However, if you can't solve the doubts in your heart, just kill all the people who create the doubts, wouldn't that be enough?
Finally, after she infiltrated the Eclipse Society and became a member of the Elder Council, when she learned that such a potential threat had existed in a place she didn't know about, the remaining people didn't even dare to stand out.
Chatterbox Girl thought, rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei, and said, "Alright, the time for answering questions is over. It's about time for you to go back."
"Are you ready?"
"Mhm!" Lu Yibei's gaze focused, and she nodded.
"Very good, then I'll send you on your way!" Chatterbox Girl said.
"Wait!" Lu Yibei instinctively raised her hand in protest, "Speaking of which, are we just going like this? Is there any, you know, extra benefits or gifts?"
Want to freeload? Chatterbox Girl tilted her head, ignored Lu Yibei, and just snapped her fingers lightly.
"Snap—!"
Accompanied by a soft sound, an invisible Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread.
The next moment, a dark vortex appeared at Lu Yibei's feet.
Then, a sense of weightlessness struck, and she fell into the darkness.
On the dilapidated and crumbling rooftop, tranquility was restored.
