After the inexplicable premonition flashed through Lu Yibei's mind, a molten-lava-like crimson light suddenly lit up in the depths of her pupils. A burning pain struck, stimulating her nerves.
This level of burning pain would cause at least severe injury... The moment the burning pain appeared, Lu Yibei made this judgment based on her past experience.
Her vision began to blur, and luminous color blocks appeared before her eyes, enough to cause serious light pollution.
“Buzz—!”
Accompanied by a low hum, those color blocks suddenly surged forward, like a nebula formed by a big explosion, a vast torrent surging through the galaxy.
In that torrent, there was an extremely dazzling golden light, extending from a distance, pointing directly at Lu Yibei's chest, leaving a strangely shaped emblem in front of her.
A ring shaped like the sun, with wings, as if about to flap its wings and fly, carrying a sense of long-standing history.
Lu Yibei, locked onto by the emblem, even if she used her movement technique to the extreme, constantly trying to shoot down that golden light, her endless means were all swallowed by the brilliant torrent without exception, instantly turning into gold and scattering on the ground.
Can't dodge!
All her actions seemed to be predicted by that golden light... No, rather than prediction, it was more like a stroke of luck!
That golden light was like randomly choosing a direction to fly, and it just happened to avoid Lu Yibei's attack, and just happened to appear on her movement trajectory.
Everything was like a script with a pre-written ending, it was just that coincidental, as natural as "if a person is killed, they will die."
In the dark, she even had a feeling that even if she immediately hid in the God Kingdom Prototype, that golden light could, through the connection between Hua City and the God Kingdom Prototype, by chance, happen to enter the God Kingdom Prototype and continue to pursue her.
That feeling was like the legendary miracle arrow that shot down gods, once the string was drawn and the bow was released, it would never stop until it pierced the god's chest.
The golden light became stronger and stronger, and the bell in her arms rang rapidly and piercingly, ringing non-stop.
In a trance, a low whisper sounded in Lu Yibei's ears, the voice seemed to come from the distant other side, or it was like someone whispering beside her.
It was like many people were praying, old people, children, women...
Lu Yibei couldn't understand their language, but she could feel that they were calling out "miracle and Fate."
Gradually, that golden light gradually grew stronger, spreading out, staining the colorful torrent with dazzling golden yellow, and then the light became brilliant.
In an instant, as if a flashbang had exploded in front of her eyes, Lu Yibei felt as if her eyes had been pricked by something, and after a stinging pain, all that was left before her was a A piece of snow white.
Damn it!
Lu Yibei secretly cried out in her heart, her body flying back. While holding Lingtai Pure Karma in front of her to protect her chest, she quickly chanted a Spell silently in her heart, opening several defensive Spells in front of her.
“Crack—!”
The moment the defensive Spells opened, a sound like glass shattering rang out. Although Lu Yibei couldn't see for a moment, she judged from the sound that those defensive Spells were easily torn apart the moment they came into contact with that golden light.
With the defensive Spells torn apart, Lu Yibei had almost imagined that the golden light would collide violently with Lingtai Pure Karma, and then in some way she couldn't predict, it would bypass Lingtai Pure Karma's protection, pierce her chest, and instantly turn her into a small golden person.
However...
Everything she had imagined did not happen. Without warning, the bell in her arms stopped vibrating, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence.
What's going on? Did that thing run out of energy? Lu Yibei muttered.
Immediately after, the burning sensation in her eyes began to subside, and her vision also became clear. A few seconds later, seeing the objects in front of her, she was slightly startled.
During the process of her chasing and fleeing from the golden light, the underground parking lot was severely damaged. The objects struck by the golden light all turned into golden yellow objects, scattered on the ground.
Looking around, the metallic luster was particularly dazzling, as if the ground was covered with gold bricks and gold coins.
A rod-shaped object was suspended half a meter in front of her, facing her chest, rotating at high speed.
Because the rotation speed was too fast, the surface emitted golden light, making the outline blurred, so that she couldn't distinguish the specific details of that thing for a while.
What the hell is this?
Midas touch stick? Rod-shaped urban legend? A strangely shaped horn Mr.?
Lu Yibei felt a strange sense of familiarity with that thing, but she couldn't remember for a moment when she had taken it into her possession and then forgotten it in that pile of miscellaneous items.
Damn it, I'm just a junk collector, alright!
So many Psychic and urban legend died in Taoyuan, and many didn't die by my hands, do I have to remember all their names?
However, why did this ghost thing suddenly stop attacking?
Lu Yibei was looking at the rod-shaped object in front of her, full of doubts, when at this moment, the Coat on her body suddenly wriggled, making a rustling sound. freewebnσvel.cøm
Protect the best Devil Woman! <(▼ヘ▼#>)
Sensing the information transmitted through the dependent mark from the Coat, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, and looked down, only to find that a faint layer of golden light had appeared on the surface of the Coat at some point, faintly revealing an aura similar to that of the rod-shaped object.
"This is..." She slightly parted her lips, hesitating to speak, and then, as if she had figured something out, her eyes slightly brightened.
"Could it be that the experience of devouring and fusing the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast in the God Kingdom Prototype also gave you the ability to replicate the Power of urban legend?" Lu Yibei asked the Coat through the dependent mark, surprised.
However...
What is Devil Woman saying, I don't understand! (•ิ_•ิ)?
Lu Yibei, "..."
Alright, expecting the Coat to answer questions is me thinking too much.
I'll just check out this little guy myself and see what new abilities it has.
Although as the Master, she could easily know what abilities her dependents had, she almost never used this privilege.
Dependents also have their own privacy, okay?
This is just a special situation.
Lu Yibei's eyes narrowed slightly, focusing her spirit and using the dependent mark to meticulously examine the Coat's body inside and out, and then she suddenly understood in her heart. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Is it just imitating the aura emitted by Spiritual Energy fluctuations? Somewhat like animal mimicry?
When did this little guy master this?
Lu Yibei was worried that the Coat would have some abnormalities after devouring and fusing Wang Yingying's flesh and blood. When she had just left the God Kingdom Prototype, she had checked its body, but the results showed that everything was normal.
It is obvious that this ability, which is similar to animal mimicry and can imitate the aura of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, was recently mastered by it, perhaps because it took some time to fully digest the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast.
Hmm... Although it's not replicating Power and doesn't have any actual combat power increase, it seems pretty good already? It's just a Coat, you can't ask for too much.
After all, Wang Yingying is a Calamity level urban legend, a unique Invasion Beast. It is impossible to obtain the same abilities as her by only devouring and fusing part of her flesh and blood.
What's more, imitating the aura might have a miraculous effect under specific conditions, such as now...
Lu Yibei looked at the rod-shaped object suspended in front of her, tilting her head. She felt that it was precisely because of the aura emitted by the Coat that this ghost thing had mistaken her for a fellow being and stopped attacking.
She stared at the rod-shaped object without blinking, wary of any possible attack, and tentatively moved a small step to the side.
Then, as she expected, the rod-shaped object also moved a short distance to the side with her, continuing to hover half a meter in front of her chest, rotating at high speed.
"..."
Lu Yibei was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed into the distance, shouting, "Look over there, there's a giant octopus wearing a yellow raincoat, riding a black goat, chasing glowing bubbles!"
The rod-shaped object remained motionless.
"Uh, don't like this? Then... there's a magical girl wearing a Kamen Rider costume, riding a female Rathalos, chasing cyberpsychos?"
The rod-shaped object still didn't move.
"..."
Damn it, they're not in the same dimension at all, can't communicate at all!
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yibei gave up the idea of diverting the rod-shaped object's attention and taking the opportunity to slip away. She took a deep breath, turned around, and ran, then with a thought, a passage leading to the God Kingdom Prototype suddenly opened up on the road ahead.
Standing in front of the passage, Lu Yibei reluctantly glanced back at the ground full of gold, and then looked at the rod-shaped object flying straight towards her. She gritted her silver teeth, took a step forward, and let the passage swallow her figure.
If you have the guts, keep chasing. If you catch me, I'll Hehehehe you!

Two hours later.
In the ruins of Banshan Elementary School.
Lu Yibei sat on the head of a broken statue, cupping her face in her hands, looking at the rod-shaped object floating in front of her, her eyes like a sun-dried salted fish.

Two hours ago, when she escaped into the God Kingdom Prototype, she was truly relieved to find that this damned thing hadn't followed.
However, after spending nearly two hours inspecting Gu Xinian's scapegoat work and making some inquiries about the public opinion regarding the Xunzhen Mutual Aid Society, she was secretly pleased that no one had discovered she was both the controller of the God Kingdom Prototype and the mastermind behind the cult. She left the God Kingdom Prototype feeling happy, only for her mood to instantly plummet.
That stick-like object had followed.
The moment she appeared on the ruins of Banshan Elementary School, she saw a glowing stick-like object floating half a meter in front of her.
Never leaving, never abandoning!
...
Damn it, what am I going to do! I can't possibly stay in the God Kingdom Prototype forever, can I?
But letting it just float beside me like this isn't a solution either!
Leaving aside human form, even though most Demonesses often have some strange little creatures floating around them, there isn't any Demoness who has a subtly sized glowing stick-like object floating beside her, right?
Just thinking about what it looks like from a passerby's perspective feels bizarre, as bizarre as a magical girl's wand being a Fujitsu counterfeit.
I have to find a way to make it stop... Sister, I'm really getting angry!
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in Lu Yibei's eyes, and she decided to try shooting down the stick-like object.
Worried that her attack would provoke the stick-like object and cause it to attack again, Lu Yibei didn't act rashly. She simply condensed a 1.024x Red Flame Flash and threw it over.
A fist-sized fireball arced through the air, landed on the stick-like object, burst with a "poof!", and sparks flew everywhere.
It didn't dodge? And it didn't retaliate? Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, her eyes gradually becoming warped.
Very good! Next, I'll let you know what cruelty is. You brought this upon yourself, hehehe!

Late at night, at the foot of the mountain where Banshan Elementary School is located, in a hidden low-lying area.
Inside a camouflage tent, two Special Operations Team members were sitting around a small table, looking at the homemade hot pot on the table, their eyes shining, and constantly swallowing saliva.
Being stationed around Banshan Elementary School to monitor its movements was definitely a good assignment for them.
If they stayed at the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, they definitely wouldn't be able to eat hot pot. Under Qi Dong's strict control, most of the time, they could only eat reasonably planned nutritional meals.
So-called nutritional meals are truly effective for maintaining good physical condition, but they are also truly unpalatable.
"It's cooked, eat quickly, eat quickly!" Seeing the fatty beef in the pot change color, a Special Operations Team member urged his companion to start eating.
Just as the two picked up their chopsticks and were about to feast, a faint tremor suddenly came from the direction of Banshan Elementary School, causing the tent to shake and rustle.
The two Special Operations Team members exchanged glances, quickly got up, picked up the black iron-colored twin-headed lily from the corner of the tent, and rushed out of the tent.
That was the standard equipment used by the Night Watch to monitor Spiritual Energy fluctuation levels and Calamity reactions, with an effective range of 1200 meters.
Looking towards the direction of Banshan Elementary School.
They saw various lights flickering halfway up the mountain, like bright summer fireworks, the scattered light outlining the ruins of Banshan Elementary School.
From time to time, pillars of smoke rose, carrying a burnt smell on the wind.
Vaguely, they could also hear a mechanical, strange, and even somewhat twisted laughter echoing in the mountains.
"Hehehe, hehehe..."
Disaster, as always, keeps its promises.
Soon, the lilies in the hands of the two Special Operations Team members changed color.
One lily turned bright red, while the other turned orange-yellow.
【Spiritual Energy Fluctuation Level: B-~A | Calamity Reaction: ≤7% | Medium to High Anomaly.】
Suspected activity of A-Level to A-Level urban legend or Psychic, or B+ Level urban legend or Psychic engaged in a life-or-death struggle.
Not a big problem!
Although, under normal circumstances, a medium to high anomaly requires notifying two or more officers to rush to the scene.
However, the Banshan Elementary School monitoring point is an exception.
Qi Dong had previously instructed them that this area was the core region controlled by Disaster. If an anomaly was detected, they should let Disaster handle it first. As long as the affected area did not exceed this mountain or reach a severe anomaly level, there was no need to report it.
"Tsk tsk, let those urban legend continue to fight among themselves. Let's continue eating hot pot."
"Yeah, let's open two more bottles of beer later. The weather is getting hotter and hotter..."
"Speaking of hot, summer is almost here. How about we move the hot pot outside to eat? We can enjoy the fireworks and witness Disaster."
"That makes sense!"
The two Special Operations Team members laughed and joked as they returned to the tent, arms around each other's shoulders.
----
Banshan Elementary School.
Lu Yibei used almost all her abilities, except for the Hundred-Armed Giant Power and a few high-level Spells that were too powerful, before finally shooting down the stick-like object.
"Hoo—hoo—!"
"It's, it's really quite troublesome..."
After this barrage of attacks, even ordinary A-Level urban legend wouldn't be able to withstand it, and B Level urban legend would at least die in double digits.
Yet the stick-like object was not damaged. It simply stopped spinning, fell to the ground, and made a light sound.
Her chest rose and fell slightly as she sat cross-legged on the ruins that looked like they had been ploughed, looking at the stick-like object that had fallen to the ground.
It was a cylinder about twenty centimeters long and as thick as a bottle neck, dark red or deep brown all over, with bark-like wrinkles on the surface and glowing golden patterns distributed like blood vessels.
"This... how could it be this thing?"
Lu Yibei recognized this thing. It was the remnant left after the mingwang statue was shattered by the Hundred-Armed Giant Power.
Although it was truly not easy for this thing to remain intact under the attack of the Hundred-Armed Giant Power, she had studied it for a long time before and hadn't found anything miraculous about it.
Coupled with its dark red color and wrinkled, slender shape, she simply thought that the mingwang statue had been beaten into "shit" by the Hundred-Armed Giant Power, so she threw it in the utility room at home.
Afterwards, she threw it into the God Kingdom Prototype along with the trash picked up from Taoyuan.
But now it seems that being able to remain intact under the attack of the Hundred-Armed Giant Power is indeed no ordinary feat.
"But... what exactly is it?"
Lu Yibei muttered to herself, wrapped her palm in Spiritual Energy, and cautiously reached out towards the stick-like object, attempting to touch it.
When her fingertips touched the stick-like object, she was surprised to find that the damned thing was warm and slightly wriggling as if it were breathing slowly. The golden patterns on it flickered rhythmically with the wriggling.
This thing is "alive"... This thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind.
Is it because of the amplified Directional Soul Summoning Spell?
But why did it become "alive" instead of summoning its former owner?
And the size of this damned thing... the appendix of the mingwang statue?
Why would Brother Ming's appendix attack me? Could it be that after sleeping with me for a long time, it developed feelings and wants to burrow into my arms as soon as it sees me?
Thinking about how she was almost impaled through the chest by this stick-like object, which had fallen off the mingwang statue from some unknown part, Lu Yibei felt a chill.
"Eww~ I can't stand it, I can't stand it!"
"Tsk, thankfully only this one thing is acting strange."
"If all the trash had summoned spirits, to avoid causing chaos, I'd probably have to hold a battle royale in the underground parking lot."
Suppress them with Royal Authority, then entice /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ them with benefits, make them fight each other, and finally kill the one who "gets the chicken". No need to give rewards, that would be great!
Lu Yibei added this silently in her heart. With a thought, she collected it into the God Kingdom Prototype and quickly left the scene.
The commotion just now wasn't small. The Special Operations Team is probably already on their way. It would be troublesome if they ran into them.
What's more, there's still a mess (referring to the gold all over the ground) at the unfinished building that hasn't been cleaned up.
So much gold, not picking it up would incur divine wrath!
