"No, how could you eat something like that?" Lu Yibei exclaimed, "Wouldn't you die instantly if you ate it?"
Even if Chatterbox Girl helped me many times before, I can't just listen to everything she says, right?
I've long found her displeasing. She's clearly a suspected doppelganger of mine, so why can she have expressions while I have to be expressionless? It's not fair!
What's more, just as she herself said, what if she's laying the groundwork for something terrible? Lu Yibei thought.
"Sorry, maybe my wording wasn't very precise." Chatterbox Girl waved her hand and explained, "To be accurate, it's for you to devour and plunder the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast."
"Even if you say that..." Lu Yibei opened her mouth, then changed the subject and said weakly, "Is there no other way?"
"Haven't we already entered the realm of mysticism? There should be other ways, right? Can't we use some repair method like borrowing a corpse to return the soul, clay sculpture dharma body, or lotus true body? Maybe I could even become stronger!"
Lu Yibei recalled slightly what the Coat looked like when it was attached to the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast. She always felt that if she "ate" the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast, she might grow two heads, or some other inexplicable organs, like... a pair of beast ears?
"Do you think I don't want to help you reshape your body with something else?" Chatterbox Girl said irritably, "It's not that I don't have the materials on hand, is it? What's more, the methods you mentioned require Power matching."
"But the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast are different!"
"How is it different?" Lu Yibei asked in confusion.
"The difference is that it's a universal plug; it can match any kind of Power," Chatterbox Girl said seriously.
"The Invasion Beast, as a strange urban legend with the special ability to copy the Power of all urban legend, its flesh and blood can often become a disaster, but from another perspective, its flesh and blood can also become almost universally applicable repair material."
"If you can provide it with enough Spiritual Energy supply and the original Power, even the body and Power of a Calamity level strange story can be copied for you to see. Of course, the premise is, don't be swallowed by it."
Lu Yibei, "..."
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that Lu Yibei still hadn't made up her mind, Chatterbox Girl's eyes rolled around, and she said sarcastically, "Lu Yibei, you have now inherited the remaining Power of Ms. Wang Meili and become the core of that special space. That place is essentially your private territory."
"Imagine this: now there's a thief who has snuck into the old house your mother left you, eating and drinking whatever he wants, putting his smelly feet on the bed your mother used to tuck you into when you were a child, and taking all the small money in your piggy bank, the gold and silver jewelry your mother left you, and so on. Are you angry?!"
"Very angry, of course, very angry..." Lu Yibei nodded with a deep gaze.
However, just as Chatterbox Girl was about to continue fanning the flames to push Lu Yibei to make up her mind and confront the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast head-on, she seemingly casually added, "However, that's not what I'm thinking about."
Chatterbox Girl crossed her arms over her chest, looked Lu Yibei up and down, and asked in confusion, "Then what are you thinking about? Worried about being counter-killed? Don't worry, nothing will happen, aren't I still here..."
"No!" Lu Yibei interrupted Chatterbox Girl, "What I want to say is, if the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast can really repair everything, as you said..."
As she spoke, she raised her head, stared straight into Chatterbox Girl's eyes, and said expressionlessly, "...then can it repair Ms. Wang Meili?"
Chatterbox Girl was stunned, not expecting Lu Yibei to think of this. For a moment, she couldn't come up with a good answer to reply to Lu Yibei, so she could only truthfully tell her the cruel reality.
"Sorry, that really can't be done, after all..."
"I understand!" Lu Yibei seized the opportunity to speak and murmured softly, "After all, the Ms. Wang Meili I saw before was just a projection with Qinan Bamboo's Power and memories, but no soul, right?"
"Even her every word and action are seventy percent similar to Old Dad's. She's practically a female father, truly strange."
"But I still want to ask, what if I'm mistaken and it really can be done?"
Chatterbox Girl, "..."
If it were possible, I would also really want you to try.
But the truth is as you said, there is no soul of Ms. Wang Meili in this special space. Even if the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast are used for replication, there is a high probability that you will only get a monster with similar strength to her.
By then, you will probably only be able to watch "her" be killed by someone else again, or kill "her" yourself. Chatterbox Girl thought.
In a word, the Invasion Beast can only copy Power and physical bodies; it cannot resurrect a dead person or urban legend.
"Then it's decided!" Lu Yibei raised her hands and gently patted her cheeks to cheer herself up, "Let me go have a good meal, and then I'll consider what happens next!"
Chatterbox Girl showed a relieved smile, raised her eyebrows and said, "Very good, but before you go, I have to remind you of something."
"Go ahead."
"When successfully reshaping your body, given the high malleability of the Invasion Beast's flesh and blood, your body might be influenced by your will and undergo some changes..."
"I understand that!" Lu Yibei interrupted, "It's like character customization, right?"
"..." Chatterbox Girl rolled her eyes at her and warned in a serious tone, "It's good that you know. What I want to warn you about is, don't have any strange thoughts in your head at that time. Just let it repair your body according to its original form. After all, the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast cannot be as precise as character customization."
"Otherwise, if something strange grows on your body, or grows in a strange place, don't blame me for not warning you."
"What, what strange things could I possibly think of! My thoughts are very pure, really!" Lu Yibei said with hesitant eyes.
Chatterbox Girl glanced sideways at Lu Yibei and slowly uttered four words, "Void Mask..."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei's face instantly turned pale, and then she patted her chest and said, "Uh, don't worry, I promise not to mess around!"
Damn it, I originally thought this was a great opportunity to restore my male prowess. Even if not, at least get an Adult appearance!
And you pull this stunt on me?!
If I restore my male prowess in the wrong place when restoring it, I might as well maintain the status quo! Lu Yibei thought indignantly.

In a laboratory on the bottom floor of the Eclipse Society's No. 4 Base, the Great Furnace.
A strange-looking old man lay in a rocking chair made from the skull of some exotic beast, holding a palm-sized teapot in his hand. His demeanor was relaxed, as if he couldn't hear the constant screams and mechanical roars coming from the laboratory next door, nor smell the strong, fishy odor.
Beside a dark metal long table not far from him, several Eclipse Society members were busy with their heads down, organizing the experiment reports on the table. Miss Rabbit and Suo E were among them.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading record. Please save your book shelf and reading record in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Miss Rabbit was not as laid-back as the old man. After completing the second experiment, she hadn't received any news about the next experiment for a long time. She felt she had reason to suspect that the Eclipse Society wanted to use this excuse to keep her within the Eclipse Society indefinitely and get free labor.
However, she had no evidence!
At the same time, due to the Eclipse Society's vast scale and their ruthlessness most of the time, she didn't dare to voice her dissatisfaction before she had enough strength, so she could only endure it for the time being.
It was precisely at this moment that the damned fellow Berses, under the pursuit and interception of the Night Watch, managed to escape and returned to Base No. 4 with the main body of the Invasion Beast.
As soon as he returned to Base No. 4, he plunged headfirst into his long-idle laboratory, conducting inhumane experiments every day. Almost every five minutes, a heart-wrenching scream could be heard. The entire bottom floor of the Great Furnace was thus filled with a stench like fermented herring.
This made Miss Rabbit, who was already full of pent-up anger with nowhere to release it and could only suppress the violent emotions in her heart by sparring with Suo E every day, even more irritable.
This truly couldn't be blamed on the poor sound and odor insulation between the laboratories on the bottom floor of the Great Furnace; it was truly because Berses was making too much noise.
That feeling was like when you are feeling down both mentally and physically, resting at home and adjusting your state, but the neighbor next door happens to be renovating, and the impact drill keeps going from 8 AM to 8 PM.
Miss Rabbit now wished she could immediately grab her Moon Yin Axe and rush over, cover Berses's head, and give him three blows with the axe, letting him know how many eyes King Rabbit has!
"Damn it, sooner or later I'll unify the Eclipse Society, and then the first one I'll deal with is that idiot, and then..."
While speaking in a low voice, she secretly glanced at Suo E not far away, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

In another laboratory a hundred meters away from the laboratory where Miss Rabbit was.
Huge Alchemy equipment was sealed in separate compartments. The ends of complex mechanical arms extended tentacle-like flesh and blood tissue, perfectly merging with the spines of naked Eclipse Society members.
The reactor, modified from a giant Alchemy cauldron, drew terrifying heat from the volcano in the deepest part of the "Great Furnace", continuously converting it into a turbulent flow of Spiritual Energy to supply the operation of the Alchemy equipment.
In the center of the laboratory, the Invasion Beast, covered in steel needles engraved with solidified Spells, was suppressed at the bottom of a rock pool filled with Alchemy potions.
At this moment, its entire body's flesh and blood seemed to be liquefying and boiling, surging violently, constantly replicating and differentiating into various tissues and organs.
Hundreds of mechanical arms were arranged in a circle around its body, like a blooming silver-white dahlia, plundering at every moment.
Once it successfully copied a certain urban legend Power from Qinan Bamboo's special space, the mechanical arms, under the operation of the Eclipse Society members, would instantly generate extremely sharp cutting blades and Spiritual Energy fields at their ends, stripping the Power from its body and sealing it.
urban legend and Psychic, as one of the cornerstones Qinan Bamboo used to construct the special space, although they did not show special abilities within the special space, their Power remained well-preserved in the depths of the special space after nearly twenty years.
Berses sat upright in the main control room, looking down at the scene below.
"Report No. 043, successfully intercepted one instance of the Crying Doll Power..."
"Report No. 017, successfully intercepted one instance of the Under-Bed Little Person Power..."
"Report No. 113, successfully intercepted one instance of the Chiron Kin Power..."
"..."
Listening to the constant reports of data and information from the Eclipse Society members responsible for operating the machinery, a trace of intoxicated smile couldn't help but appear on Berses's face.
"My dear Secretary Jin Jiao, I wonder what you would think if you saw this situation now?"
"Hehe..."
Thinking of Jin Jiao again, Berses let out a cold laugh, his gaze deepening, and his killing intent growing stronger.
His hostility towards Jin Jiao was not without reason. Apart from the time he was almost killed by that mysterious Night Watch agent, his situation hadn't been this miserable for a long time.
Since he successfully escaped from Yun Kang Mental Hospital until he successfully fled to the Great Furnace, Jin Jiao's pursuit of him had never stopped.
Especially after suffering backlash from using the 【Broken Finger Compass】, Jin Jiao directly turned into a "mad dog," constantly chasing and biting.
In just a few days, he traveled thousands of kilometers. The accompanying Eclipse Society members were reduced from one hundred and fifty-seven to only twenty-seven. In the end, it was only with the reinforcements sent by the Chairman that he barely managed to escape the pursuit with the main body of the Invasion Beast.
At the most dangerous moment, the distance between Jin Jiao and him was even less than twenty meters. This distance was already within the effective range of most Spell and Spirit Mark talent skills.
However, it was fortunate that he had now successfully returned to the Great Furnace. He was safe here.
After all, the Eclipse Society, as an organization that had been fighting and loving the Night Watch for a long time, its No. 4 Base, the Great Furnace, already had the rudimentary form of a special space. Its secrecy and defense levels were ridiculously high. Even if the Night Watch found this place, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.
"Little Uncle Bo, you seem to be smiling very happily? But if you can't intercept enough Power samples from Qinan Bamboo's special space this time, I'm afraid it won't be enough to reverse the situation! By then, the Chairman Adult will be angry!"
Hearing the voice from behind, the smile on Berses's face froze. He turned around to look at the woman behind him, who was squatting on a chair with an apple in her mouth.
Her skin was snow-white and delicate, her eyes were like black lacquer, her red lips were vibrant, her handsome nose matched her sharp face, and her figure was as plump as a ripe peach. Her strange, wild-like attire, unseemly posture, and colorful long hair could not hide her beauty.
The woman's name was Mei Hongzhuang. She was the one who led the Eclipse Society Chairman's elites to reinforce Berses, and she was also one of the Eclipse Society Chairman's confidantes.
"Hmph! I know that without you telling me!" Berses responded coldly, "Although this good thing was ruined ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) by that mad dog Gan Yu this time, and I couldn't directly seize control of Qinan Bamboo's special space, as long as the Invasion Beast is still under my control, sooner or later I will..."
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Berses was halfway through his sentence when a sudden loud alarm sounded in the laboratory. Immediately following, he heard the slightly urgent voice of an Eclipse Society member.
"Rep- Report, Berses Adult, there's a problem! An unknown Spiritual Energy fluctuation has been detected, and the Invasion Beast's connection with Qinan Bamboo's special space is rapidly weakening!"
"What? Say that again?!" Berses's face turned pale. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Noticing the change in Berses's expression, Mei Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes slightly, took a fierce bite of the apple in her hand, and laughed maliciously, "Oh oh, Little Uncle Bo, it seems the slap in the face came a bit too quickly, didn't it? What should we do? Someone is going to suffer!"
Berses turned back and glared fiercely at Mei Hongzhuang, then ordered the subordinate Eclipse Society members in a deep voice, "Everyone, raise the equipment output power to the third stage of overclocking!"
Although he didn't know what happened, how could that unknown Spiritual Energy fluctuation possibly compete with the nearly hundred Alchemy devices supported by the Great Furnace for Spiritual Energy supply?
Snatch it, snatch it hard! Berses thought.
