Free Web NovelSome say there are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
Lu Yibei stared at the cursed doll, thinking of the guy named Hu Chuan, who dated Headless Senior, and likely had sinister intentions from the start, which sent a chill down her spine, but at the same time, her chest felt scorching hot.
It was as if a fire was burning fiercely within her, and the strands of hair hanging behind her gradually turned red.
Just as Lu Yibei’s killing intent grew, a small pebble flew from a distance, hit her on the head with a “thwack!” and fell to the ground, rolling into a dark corner.
She came back to her senses, rubbing her head while looking in the direction the pebble had come from, a slight frown on her brow.
In the distance, Headless Senior was hiding under a thick-trunked pear tree, a small part of her body poking out, waving at Lu Yibei with earnest and worried eyes.
Is Senior worried about me?
Lu Yibei’s heart warmed slightly. After nodding to Headless Senior, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the cursed doll on the ground and the fragments of the time capsule engraved with strange Spells. After a few seconds, she had a thought and, along with Paper Cicada Immortal, stored them into the God Kingdom Prototype.
Immediately after, Lu Yibei took the gold necklace from Paper Cicada Immortal, who was floating in front of her, and turned to walk towards Headless Senior.
She crossed the scorched, barren ground.
Upon reaching Headless Senior, Lu Yibei raised the necklace in her hand and said expressionlessly, “Senior, I found this. We should be able to use it for targeted soul summoning.”
As if she had never seen them before, she deliberately concealed the existence of the cursed doll and the strange Spells.
Headless Senior had already suffered enough.
Before there was a result, there was no need to add more negative things to her mind.
After waiting a few seconds and seeing that Headless Senior did not speak, Lu Yibei continued, “If you don’t mind, I’ll take this with me for now?”
“I’ll go back and study how to perform targeted soul summoning, then I’ll come find you.”
Headless Senior looked deeply at the necklace in Lu Yibei’s hand for a few seconds, then nodded.
She paused, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) then suddenly remembered something and shook her head, “Wait, I think... maybe not?”
“Why not?” Lu Yibei asked, puzzled.
“Because...” Headless Senior lowered her eyes, hesitating to speak.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yibei guessed her thoughts, tilted her head, and said, “You don’t want to see him, do you?”
Headless Senior hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, leave the soul summoning to you. Just tell me the result afterward, okay?”
“Of course, no problem.” Lu Yibei said.
The victim’s desire not to see the perpetrator again was understandable.
“Also, I want to leave Hua City for a while...” Headless Senior looked up into Lu Yibei’s eyes, “I want to... I want to go see my mom and dad.”
She used to be unable to freely leave Huacheng Institute of Technology, but now she wanted to go back and see them.
Hearing this, Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, then a soft light appeared in her eyes, “That’s wonderful! But be careful when you go, don’t scare them, and come back soon!”
“If you encounter any trouble, just mention my... mention my friend’s name, tell them you are the best friend of the Eight Hundred Li Peach Garden’s master!”
Although Headless Senior was already considered a B-class urban legend, and a mid-tier combatant among the numerous urban legend, traveling far from home could still lead to unexpected situations.
What if she encountered an A-class urban legend hunting?
Since Smelly Girl overcame her crisis, her prestige was unparalleled for a time, and mentioning her name was effective most of the time.
“Here, take this, this is a token...”
As Lu Yibei spoke, she gently flipped her small hand, and a withered branch the size of a finger appeared in her palm, which she handed to Headless Senior.
While helping Smelly Girl clean up the battlefield in Taoyuan, she had picked up many strangely shaped “trash,” and this branch was one of them.
Whether it was useful or not, picking it up was always the right thing to do!
This was a bad habit developed from playing open-world games.
Although Smelly Girl’s authority and connection to the Fusang Divine Tree had significantly diminished, apart from faint spiritual energy fluctuations and an exceptionally hard texture, it no longer had any magical effects.
But at least it still carried Smelly Girl’s aura, which could deter petty villains.
To put it nicely, it could be called divine power, just like those evil-dispelling statues.
Or like the clothes a beautiful girl has worn, leaving behind a scent that makes people imagine things.
But Lu Yibei felt that the principle was probably similar to how cats and dogs leave their scent in places they live, telling other cats and dogs that this is their territory.
Vaguely sensing the aura of an unknown powerful urban legend on the branch, Headless Senior looked at Lu Yibei with burning eyes, hesitatingly saying, “This, this must be something very valuable, right?”
“No, it’s not very valuable...” Lu Yibei awkwardly avoided Headless Senior’s gaze, scratching the back of her head.
Anyway, I have over a hundred pieces of trash like this!
Seeing this, although Headless Senior didn’t quite understand why Lu Yibei didn’t want her to use her name, she still took the branch, nodded, and solemnly received it with both hands.

Early morning, Jingyi Apartment Complex, Phase 3, Building 3, Ninth Floor, 903.
After the Little Freaks went out, the empty apartment was dark and quiet, with the outlines of furniture vaguely visible.
Second floor of the apartment.
The strangely shaped Little Freaks surrounded a white, round ball of flesh, the atmosphere tense.
Suddenly, the ball of flesh wriggled, and the Little Freaks immediately seemed startled, backing away two or three meters.
“Did you guys see that just now? I told you earlier that thing moved, and you didn’t believe me!” Eyeball shouted loudly, “Do you believe me now?!”
“It’s not going to hatch, is it?” Hairball said seriously.
“We’re doomed, if this thing hatches, we’re finished!” False Tooth said mournfully.
“Brother False Tooth, what do you mean?” Hairball asked.
“Think about it, that woman is never home. If this thing hatches, she probably won’t carry it with her. Then...”
“Then we’ll become nannies?” Hairball said, suddenly understanding.
“Pah! You wish!” Eyeball said indignantly, “We’re not her husband, nor her parents! This is her egg, why should we take care of it if it hatches?”
“This...” Hairball warned, “I advise you not to say that in front of her.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Eyeball shouted, “Even if that demoness is in front of me now, I’d still say the same thing!”
As soon as the words fell, the Little Freaks all distanced themselves from him.
Really not familiar.jpg
“Oh? What do you want to tell me?”
A bell-like voice rang out in the dark room, delicate yet with a hint of menace.
Eyeball wriggled and turned around, seeing a slender black silhouette appear at the staircase, eyes slightly narrowed, pupils gleaming golden in the darkness.
“...”
Thinking of the last time Lu Yibei drained his blood to the point of near death, Eyeball decided to temporarily yield this time, expressing its willingness to help Lu Yibei take care of the young one.
So, it quickly calculated in its mind and shouted, “I don’t mind being your husband!”
The Little Freaks, “...”
At this moment, they seemed to see the word “Dead” quietly appearing above Eyeball’s head.
Silently, they turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.
“The moonlight is beautiful tonight!” Hairball exclaimed.
“Ah—!” Eyeball’s scream came as expected.
“The wind is quite noisy too!” False Tooth echoed.
“Ah—! Help! Help! Help...”
Listening to Eyeball’s screams, Sleeping Dress shivered and weakly said, “How about... how about we designate today as Eyeball’s memorial day every year from now on?”
With that, the three Little Freaks looked at each other, wriggled their bodies in unison, and said in chorus, “That sounds wonderful!”

Lu Yibei had no psychological burden when teaching Eyeball a lesson. freёwebnovel.com
All of this was thanks to that chip from Dream Come True Entertainment City.
urban legend tainted with the world’s malice would suffer eternal torment and almost never die normally.
“Normal death” here included death by physical attack...
After hammering Eyeball until it lost its ability to move, she fetched tools, tied it up, cut a small incision on it, and happily performed a bloodletting.
To equip Paper Cicada Immortal with an Alchemy Dirty Bomb, she still needed a large amount of blood containing the world’s malice. frёeωebɳovel.com
After dealing with Eyeball, Lu Yibei called Hairball, and after understanding the whole story, she frowned, looking at Wang Yingying on the bedside table, arms crossed over her chest.
“So, you just discovered it moved?”
“Reporting, Lady Demoness, it did move. Today alone, it moved at least two or three times.” Hairball replied.
“Did you feel any spiritual energy fluctuations?”
“No, it just wriggled a few times, that’s all.” Hairball said, pausing slightly, then cautiously probed, “I guess it might be fetal movement, what do you think?”
“Hmm...” Lu Yibei rested her chin on one hand, pondered for a moment, then nodded, “That’s also possible. You guys should pay more attention to it from now on. If you find anything, tell me immediately.”
According to Nothingness’s analysis, Wang Yingying theoretically could not awaken on her own in a short period. Occasional wriggling was just instinct.
Perhaps, as Hairball said, it was just “fetal movement,” and there was still a long way to go before awakening.
Although hatching an egg was an interesting thing, Lu Yibei had more important things to do than interesting things right now.
After putting headphones on Wang Yingying, playing “De Yun She Crosstalk Collection,” and instructing the Little Freaks to switch its “prenatal education” course every hour, she sat cross-legged on the bed, placing Lingtai Pure Karma flat on her lap.
This time, I must make the Old Ancestor teach me the targeted soul summoning Spell!
Lu Yibei thought confidently, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness sink...
