Free Web NovelFollowing two earth-shattering roars, the scene in Hua Sang's mind froze at the moment the turtle and snake were born and killed each other. Hua Sang completed the suppression of the out-of-control Spirit Mark and slowly woke up.
The roar of the engine came from her ears, and the scent of sandalwood from the car's air freshener wafted through her nostrils. She slowly opened her eyes, and as her vision cleared, she glimpsed the constantly changing city scenery outside the window.
In the car? It seems I've already left the airport... Hua Sang muttered to herself, looking towards the driver's seat, and as expected, she saw her Senior Brother Li Xuan.
Seeing Hua Sang wake up in the rearview mirror, Li Xuan raised an eyebrow and softly asked, "You're awake? Are you feeling better?"
"Yes." Hua Sang nodded.
As she lowered her head, she noticed the bath towel draped over her shoulders. She slightly furrowed her brow and raised her hand to pinch the slightly damp edge of the bath towel.
"That's good." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. "If I had known your condition was so unstable, I should have sent you back."
"The airport is grounded for two days now, so just stay here and adjust your condition, okay? Master told me to personally send you back in two days and hand you directly to him."
"..." Hua Sang opened her mouth, wanting to explain something to Li Xuan, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back. She just nodded and softly replied, "Okay."
The situation was too complicated, and explaining it was too tiring.
Furthermore, she didn't know why her Spirit Mark had lost control so severely this time, nor did she know who had absorbed the Spiritual Energy with excessive night erosion.
Glancing at the empty seat beside her, Hua Sang pondered for a few seconds and slowly asked, "Senior Brother, where is that guy?"
"That guy... Oh, you mean Lu Yibei?" Li Xuan rolled his eyes. "He doesn't deserve to ride in my car. I told him to walk back himself!"
Li Xuan loved his car very much, to some extent, he even treated his beloved car as a companion.
For this, he was once teased by An Qing, "You clearly have a slightly better temperament and appearance than Bai Kai, but you've always been single. There's a reason for it!"
Li Xuan looked at Bai Kai next to him with disdain and sneered, "Heh, I can have many cars. Can he ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) have many wives?"
"What do I need a wife for? Isn't it better to be a wild bee and a wandering butterfly?" Bai Kai retorted mercilessly.
...
Although he didn't win the argument against Bai Kai, this didn't affect Li Xuan's continued love for cars.
How could Li Xuan let a thief like Lu Yibei, who messed with his "wife's" tires every other day, touch his beloved car?
"Oh." Hua Sang responded perfunctorily to Li Xuan and turned her head to look out the window, lost in thought.
Outside the window, the weary sun was sinking below the horizon, casting a magnificent sunset that interwoven into a gorgeous brocade between heaven and earth.
Didn't he say he wanted me to tell the Special Operations Team that he subdued the culprit... Hua Sang thought in confusion.

Yu Jiatang, Hua City.
This is an urban-rural fringe area about three kilometers away from Huacheng Airport. Due to its relatively remote location and a terrible murder and dismemberment case two years ago that triggered a series of urban legend events, large areas of buildings have long been abandoned.
As the sun set, the dilapidated buildings cast large shadows on the narrow streets. The breeze rolled scattered garbage, making rustling sounds, and there was a strange smell in the air, as if something was rotting in the dark.
Lu Yibei walked from the end of the street with his hands in his pockets, kicking away an empty cola bottle that blocked his way.
"Damn it, so what if I stabbed your tires a few times? You're so petty! If it wasn't for me..."
He muttered to himself, and the scene that happened at the airport just now suddenly flashed through his mind. He instantly got goosebumps, and the words in his mouth came to an abrupt halt.
Acting cool secondhand is really impossible, it's too ♦ embarrassing! Lu Yibei thought.
Ten minutes ago, carrying Hua Sang, he combined famous scenes from various film and television anime works and compiled a thrilling story. He originally planned to boast endlessly in front of the Elder brothers of the Special Operations Team and then have Hua Sang back him up.
However...
He had only told half of his story, and the climax of acting cool hadn't appeared yet, when Li Xuan said, "No need to bother, won't others check the surveillance? The airport surveillance is all-encompassing!"
He was forced to swallow the rest of his words back into his stomach, and his toes instantly dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room space.
To be honest, after something like this happened, even if Li Xuan didn't refuse to give him a ride, he didn't want to ride in the same car with Li Xuan back.
How brave does a person have to be to constantly trigger emotional reactions and have moments of social death replaying in their mind?
Lu Yibei pouted, found a small shop with a shattered floor-to-ceiling glass window on the street, crouched and walked in, checked the time, and began to wait for nightfall and the moment of urban legend transformation.
As the sky darkened, the last ray of the setting sun dyed the street blood-red, and grotesque lines constantly flew before his eyes.
At the moment the last ray of light was swallowed by darkness, Lu Yibei's heart felt a faint tingling, and then it began to beat wildly.
Standing in the dark, at the moment her body was swallowed by darkness, Lu Yibei's heart felt a faint stinging pain, and then it continued to accelerate, beating wildly.
A bloody and cold aura spread from her chest, and the next moment, her blood seemed to be ignited, surging along her blood vessels. The evaporated sweat formed a thin mist on her body surface.
When the scorching heat and the coldness converged in her chest, the familiar pain caused Lu Yibei's body to twitch slightly. A delicate moan couldn't help but escape from her slightly open mouth, which was panting heavily.
"Mmm-ying—!"
As her pink and white long hair fell and swept across her eyes, the pain began to subside, and a hint of joy arose in Lu Yibei's heart.
Very good! The reshaped body is much stronger than before, and the pain of urban legend transformation has also been greatly reduced.
She had just had this thought when the surrounding air suddenly became heavy and squeezed towards her violently.
It was as if an invisible mountain collapsed above her, and tons of earth and rocks instantly buried her delicate body.
The feeling of suffocation intensified, her joints groaned in pain, and the sudden pain made Lu Yibei's eyes widen.
It feels...
Very similar to the abnormality that appeared the last time she tried to contact Ancestor!
Immediately after, her legs suddenly went weak, and she knelt on the ground, her body uncontrollably leaning forward, her tender white hands touching the ground.
"Boom—!"
A loud noise erupted, the ground trembled, sending earth and rocks flying and smoke and dust filling the air.
Immediately after, as if it were an illusion, a layer of dark green thick fog appeared in her vision. The thick fog flowed like mud, surging and spreading to the end of Lu Yibei's sight.
In her ears, the whispers gradually intensified, and a muddy stench surged through her nostrils.
The urban-rural fringe area, which was originally deserted, also became crowded at this moment.

Under the shroud of dark green thick fog, empty streets, dilapidated buildings, withered yellow trees... everything within sight, seemed to be plunged into a swamp filled with foul air.
Figures emerged from the depths of the swamp mud.
Their limbs were deformed and twisted, their bodies had large areas of swelling and ulceration, and in the most severe places, even exposed internal organs and pale white bones could be seen. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
But they all seemed to be still alive, their turbid eyes filled with resentful gazes, uttering heart-wrenching whispers or despairing wails from their mouths, stretching their bodies, stumbling forward, and surging towards Lu Yibei.
It felt like a group of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts were coming to claim her life!
Immediately after, at the moment when the figure in the front, stretching its ulcerated and swollen hand, was about to touch Lu Yibei's body, she suddenly raised her head, and brilliant golden light flashed in her eyes.
【Royalty】, activate!
"Get lost!"
With a delicate shout, a faint golden light erupted from her small body, rippling through the air like silk blown by the wind.
At the same time, the ground she touched with her hands suddenly shook, and with a "boom!" a roaring sound, molten lava-like fire erupted from the cracks in the ground, accompanied by the constantly cracking ground, surging in all directions. Wherever it passed, the thick fog dissipated, and the figures vanished...

Hua City New District, Sijia Express Hotel, Suite 3024, the bathroom was filled with steaming white mist, and the lights flickered on and off.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Warm water surged from the shower head, sprinkling on Hua Sang's body. Strings of water droplets rolled over her round shoulders, wetting her messy long hair, which clung to her fair and delicate back.
On the washbasin, the black iron ruler seemed to sense something and trembled slightly.
Hua Sang curled up in a corner of the bathroom, hugging her knees, her head deeply buried in her arms, her body trembling uncontrollably. Despairing whispers and wails echoed in her ears.
Her slightly tearful murmur faintly echoed in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry... everyone... I didn't mean to kill you..."
"It's all Dad's fault... it's not my fault... I'm sorry..."
Perhaps because she almost lost control of her Spirit Mark at the airport today and nearly killed everyone in the entire airport, Hua Sang's sealed memories were triggered.
When she returned to the hotel, took off her clothes, and started bathing, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw those who had been killed by her.
Grandpa and Grandma, Village Chief Grandpa, Teacher Huang from the village primary school, and everyone in the village... everyone was there.
They wept silently, wailed in despair, and questioned loudly. They wanted to know why they had died.
It was as if she had fallen into the water, her consciousness began to sink, gradually dissipating.
Just as Hua Sang's emotions were about to collapse, a delicate shout echoed in her mind.
"Get lost!"
The voice was like a morning bell and an evening drum, carrying a soul-stirring power.
Hearing that voice, she vaguely felt a heat wave coming. Hua Sang's shoulders trembled violently, and she instantly sobered up, slowly raising her head and looking around blankly with her slightly red eyes.
That voice just now... was very pleasant to listen to, it seemed to be a Miss.
But who could she be?
Why did her voice appear in my mind?
After thinking for a while without result, Hua Sang sighed silently, stood up, turned off the faucet, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and slowly left the bathroom.

Hua City Folk Culture Research Administration, small conference room.
The warm light illuminated the conference room. Jiang Li, An Qing, and Bai Kai sat around the conference table. On the table were a handgun and Alchemy bullets that had not been fired, placed in evidence bags.
"...What I just said are the investigation reports uploaded by colleagues from various places recently. There are a total of twenty-two Psychic attack incidents that occurred in public places. So far, including this incident, there are three incidents where similar Alchemy bullets were found at the scene."
Jiang Li put down the documents in her hand, looked at the listless and absent-minded Bai Kai, shook her head slightly, and looked at An Qing.
"Uh-huh!" An Qing nodded, gave Jiang Li a charming smile, and pointed to the Alchemy bullets on the table, saying, "I have already analyzed this kind of Alchemy bullet."
"From the analysis results, the main ingredients used in the production process of this Alchemy bullet include the acid of cannibal ants, nitrifying volcanic moss, and the core powder of a certain C-level elemental urban legend body, which means..."
"The cost is about five times that of the Night Watch's standard Alchemy bullets?" Jiang Li interrupted.
"That's right! These guys are really rich!" An Qing nodded and continued, "From the Spell engraved on the Alchemy bullets, the solidified Spell is an variant Spell of the No. 67 precision Spell. The usage records in the database are only for the previous two incidents."
"That's all I've found. By the way, are there no interrogation records for the previous two incidents?"
Facing An Qing's question, Jiang Li gently shook her head. "No, the Psychic involved in the previous two incidents all committed suicide by shooting themselves when they were about to be arrested by local colleagues. Their Spirit Marks are also very common, and it's impossible to tell which illegal Spiritual Energy force they belong to."
At this moment, Bai Kai raised his drooping eyelids and interrupted, "I don't think we need to be too sensitive. In this situation, perhaps they happened to use Alchemy bullets sold by the same group?"
"..." Jiang Li glanced at Bai Kai, pondered for two seconds, and nodded. "For now, we can also think so."
Among the twenty-three Psychic attack incidents, only three involved Psychic using similar Alchemy bullets, which is not enough to indicate a close connection between these three incidents.
"We can't let our guard down!" An Qing stretched lazily. "If according to Old Bai's statement, there might be a large-scale illegal sale of Alchemy products behind these incidents!"
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded. "It is indeed worth paying attention to."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Li Xuan walked in quickly, with an unhappy expression, and sat down in his seat. "Damn it, I can't get anything out of those two guys."
"Giving them a lie-detecting Alchemy potion and using mental talismans didn't work! Their memories must have been tampered with by a high-level existence. They don't remember anything that happened before coming to Hua City."
"By the way, one of them was even clamoring to complain about Lu Yibei, saying that he abused suspects, disregarded human rights, and caused him great psychological harm!"
Hearing this, Jiang Li tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What did he do?"
Li Xuan crossed his arms over his chest, glanced at everyone out of the corner of his eye, and sneered, "Heh, the suspect said that Lu Yibei used the Binding Spell on someone hundreds of times. How is that different from using foul language and writing a stroke on the person every time he speaks until their whole body is covered with tally marks?"
An Qing, "..." Li Gan Yuan (Officer Li) understands so well!
Bai Kai, "..." As expected of Lu Ming's biological son, he's becoming more and more like his father.
Jiang Li, "..." Hundreds of times of humiliation? That's a bit too much! I'll make him write a five-hundred-word self-criticism later.
