Free Web NovelAfter handing the unexpected gold over to Du Sixian for processing, Lu Yibei returned to the Lu Family Old House.
In the early morning, a light rain fell in Hua City. The fine rain fell from the sky, silent for a long time, hitting the branches and leaves of the pomegranate tree with a rustling sound, piercing the tranquility of the misty old street, as if adding a bit of cheerfulness.
This was probably the last spring rain in Hua City.
Lu Yibei carefully cleaned the dining room and kitchen, confirmed that the cooking utensils, range hood, gas stove, and other items needed for cooking were not damaged from being unused for a long time, and then went up to the attic.
Returning to the room where she had slept peacefully for many years, Lu Yibei leaned back on the bed.
The room was not lit. The streetlights outside the window cast a light tinged with the scent of mist and rain, outlining everything in the room with a layer of orange-yellow.
"Ding-a-ling..."
Lu Yibei faced the window, raised the string of antique bronze bells, gazed at them for a moment, sighed silently, and then quietly put them away.
She should have gone home by now, right?
She said before that she would go home and get married after she found her fiancé.
Now, it seems she probably found him...
"Damn it, staying at my place for so long and not paying any rent, is that taking advantage of a friend?"
Lu Yibei muttered a complaint, composed herself, got out of bed, sat down at the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and with a thought, took out the rod-shaped object from the God Kingdom Prototype. Immediately after, she took out her phone, snapped a few pictures, then opened a certain goose chat app and sent a message to Netizen Laosepi.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Are you there? 【Pink-haired little loli peeking from corner】"
After sending the message, she didn't receive an immediate reply as usual. She didn't know what Netizen Laosepi was busy with.
While waiting, she wrapped her hands in Spiritual Energy, picked up the rod-shaped object on the desk, and began to ponder.
What exactly is this damn thing? Calling it a rod-shaped object all the time doesn't seem quite right.
When attacking just now, her luck was as good as a European God, and it could even create gold. Its shape was like a rod, so why not call it...
"Buzz, buzz--!"
While Lu Yibei was thinking, the phone on the desk suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. She picked up the phone and glanced at it; it was a message from Netizen Old Pervert 00.
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "I'm here, what's up? 【Blonde swimsuit big sister puffing chest】"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Guess?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "..."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Don't you guys love to pry into other people's lives the most? Don't tell me you don't know what I need you for?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Well... we also have priorities in our focus on various matters! We paid a little more attention when the black night disease outbreak occurred in Hua City, but recently there are other things that require our attention."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Other things? 【Pink-haired loli question mark face】" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "You're an informant in the Night Watch, you should know that the Miracle Order has been very active in various places recently, right?"
Seeing Netizen Laosepi's reply, Lu Yibei slightly furrowed her brows.
Of course she knew that the two thugs brainwashed by the Miracle Order at Huacheng Airport were caught by her personally.
She had originally planned to participate in the interrogation, but was told that the Night Watch had already prohibited torturing Psychic suspects four or five years ago for some unspeakable reason.
Mental torture is also not allowed!
But she hadn't even participated in the interrogation yet, so why were all her colleagues at the Hua City Night Watch so sure that she would torture the suspects?
It was so frustrating! Lu Yibei didn't know what she had done to make them have such a misunderstanding. She was clearly a very gentle person at heart.
After pondering for a few seconds, Lu Yibei typed a message asking, "So, during this time, have you found anything while keeping an eye on the Miracle Order's movements? PS: I know they seem to be looking for something."
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Although there's no important intelligence for now, it's fine to tell you, but you won't reveal it to the Night Watch, right? 【Loli wary】"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "What kind of person do you take me for? Would I be a double agent?"
I'm clearly a polyhedron, okay!
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Just kidding. It's just that the actions of Miracle Order members have always been difficult to understand with normal thinking. We've been paying close attention to them for several days, and we only know a little more than you do."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "A little?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Yes, we currently only know that the Miracle Order members have recently created a series of Spiritual Energy attack incidents in order to find their Holy Child. Their Holy Child got lost shortly after entering Z Country.
As for why they created Spiritual Energy attack incidents before the Holy Child got lost, that remains unknown."
After reading Netizen Laosepi's reply, Lu Yibei's peripheral vision drifted to the rod-shaped object on the desk, and she slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long ago, after witnessing the strange abilities of the rod-shaped object, she had suspected that this thing was related to the Miracle Order, but now it seems there isn't a strong connection between the two.
The Holy Child of the Miracle Order couldn't possibly be a stick, could he?
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Speaking of which, your Monster Story Chat Group has members from various factions, right? Isn't there a member from the Miracle Order? Why not just ask them what they've been up to recently?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "I need to clarify this. First of all, ever since a member of the Eclipse Society made a shady deal with Purple Maiden last time and killed several innocents, there have been no members of the Eclipse Society in the group.
Secondly, there used to be a member of the Miracle Order in the group, but that guy ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) was kicked out after he reported the group and got it nuked. 【Blonde Rabbit Girl big sister helpless】"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Someone actually managed to report you successfully? How did they do it?"
Having been frustrated countless times before when trying to report the Monster Story Chat Group, Lu Yibei had almost given up on doing such things. Now, hearing that someone had actually succeeded in reporting it, a flame of hope instantly ignited in her heart.
I'd like to see what unconventional methods the Miracle Order has!
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "It's fine to tell you, even if you know, it's impossible to succeed in reporting by imitating that guy's method. His reason for reporting was related to pornography, and the detailed description was 【Group owner didn't wear women's clothing on Arbor Day】."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yibei quietly exited the private chat interface, entered the chat group, clicked the small exclamation mark in the upper right corner, and submitted a report.
Reason for reporting: Scam.
Detailed description: 【April 30th National Traffic Reflection Day, group owner not driving/making dirty jokes】
A few seconds later, she received a private message from Netizen Laosepi.
Friendly Reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your book shelf and reading record in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Well done, you learned quite fast! How is it, didn't succeed in reporting, right? Save your effort, you're not a member of the Miracle Order, you can't create that kind of miracle!"
You wait! I'll succeed in reporting sooner or later... Lu Yibei thought awkwardly, typing a message to change the subject and asked, "Let's talk business, can you help me investigate three things? The reward is not a problem!"
I'm rich now, that's how arrogant I am!
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "【Wife in bathrobe wiping sweat】 Uh... why don't you tell me first? Only after hearing it can I decide whether to help, whether it's free, or if there's a charge."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "First thing, help me investigate a person named Hu Chuan, male, 24 years old, native of Hua City, formerly a student of Metallurgy at Huacheng Institute of Technology."
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "A regular person?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Possibly a low-level Psychic. The current school records state that he died unexpectedly before graduation. After testing through some means, I suspect he faked his death and would like you to help confirm."
The principle of Directional Soul Summoning is to use the lingering regrets remaining on the deceased's belongings to communicate with spirits, create unformed urban legend, and thus achieve the purpose of summoning souls. Simply put, it is to first create a vessel for the soul to attach to, and then summon the soul.
If the target is indeed dead, even if someone has imprisoned their soul or interfered with the Spell through some means, there would normally be a faint sensation during the step of using lingering regrets to create unformed urban legend.
As for "soul scattering" in the traditional sense... unless someone can completely erase the lingering regrets on all of the deceased's belongings, like when Lu Yibei "transcended" Suolang Baima, or if the death exceeds a certain time limit and the lingering regrets and soul all dissipate.
This time limit is usually over five years and within ten years. If Hu Chuan is truly dead, his lingering regrets and soul should still be within the effective time limit.
If someone has completely erased the lingering regrets on all of Hu Chuan's belongings, that would be even more suspicious and worth investigating.
In addition, although Lu Yibei has used the fuxing copper coin to divine whether Hu Chuan is dead, and the result was that he is indeed dead, her divination method is too crude. When divining matters other than herself, interference can occur as long as the Spiritual Energy level reaches a certain degree.
And Zhang Shuo, whom Hu Chuan once interacted with, and the Maitian God, who has intricate ties with his rotten brother Li Tanghan, both have very high Spiritual Energy fluctuation levels and possess means exceeding their peers. It would not be difficult for them to interfere with the divination results.
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "This one should be free. I'll go investigate in a bit. I can give you detailed information in as little as an hour, or at most three days. What about the other two things?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "I want to investigate the origin of a certain pattern, possibly an emblem or a totem. Wait a moment, I'll draw one for you."
After replying to the message, Lu Yibei took out paper and pen. Relying on the memories left in her haste during the chase, she drew the pattern projected onto her body when the rod-shaped object burst with golden light. Then she held it up, examined it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmm, not bad, exactly the same!"
Saying this, she picked up her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Netizen Laosepi.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "【Pic】【Pic】 It's this."
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Is this... an octopus with dozens of legs? Or a twisted version of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's main god? Where did you see this kind of mind-polluting picture? Scream.jpg"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "...This is a winged sun."
No way, is it really drawn that badly?
Damn it, this is all the Ancestor's fault, not a single gene for drawing talent! Lu Yibei thought.
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "...I think we should put this matter aside for now? We can help investigate once you find a more recognizable picture. What about the last thing?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Didn't I have a great sun mingwang statue before?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "I know. It was accidentally damaged during the dream journey, right?"
Tsk! What I hate the most is that look on your faces where you know everything! Lu Yibei complained inwardly, typing a message in reply: "Yeah... After the great sun mingwang statue was damaged, something fell out of it. That thing has been acting weird recently, and I want to try and find out its origin."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "【Pic】【Pic】【Pic】 These are the photos I just took."
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Hiss, how does this thing look... You know what I mean, right?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Just tell me if you can investigate it! 【Pink-haired loli black face】"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "We can, but it probably won't be free. The reward will depend on the difficulty of the investigation. We can start investigating for you first and tell you how much it will cost once we have results. Is that okay?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "No problem."
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Happy to cooperate! Also, don't try the Miracle Order's reporting method, it won't work!"
Looking at Netizen Laosepi's reply, Lu Yibei's finger moving towards the upper right corner stiffened. She rolled her eyes, put away her phone, and looked at the rod-shaped object on the table.
Speaking of which, what was I going to name it just now?
Let me think...
"Right, it seemed like Oujin..." Lu Yibei stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembered something, and her eye twitched, "Uh, or perhaps Shenjin... Forget it, I'll just keep calling it the rod-shaped object."
The word "rod" is quite peculiar. It seems no matter what prefix you add before it, the resulting word becomes very strange. freēwebnovel.com
----
5:07 AM.
After finishing her chat with Netizen Laosepi, Lu Yibei had been lying on the bed for nearly two hours.
She stared at the ceiling, her gaze shifting back and forth, as if she were hesitating about something.
Something in a corner of her heart kept screaming, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.
After a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind, a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She got up and walked into the next room, went to a cardboard box in the corner, and forcefully ripped off the tape on it.
"Tear!" The sound echoed in her ears, but it felt like something was being ripped deep in her chest.
A small sword carved from wood.
A very ugly knitted scarf, knitted by Lu Yibei during her handicraft class when she was a child. Old Dad would take it out and wear it every winter.
A soccer ball with the Chinese characters "Ke Li Si Di Ya Nuo Luo Na Er Duo" written on it...
"Tsk, Old Dad is really absurd. Even when tricking a child, he should consider the actual situation, right? How could Cristiano Ronaldo sign in Chinese characters?" Lu Yibei rolled her eyes, a smile in them.
As she spoke, she took out Old Dad's belongings from the cardboard box one by one, carefully placing them into the God Kingdom Prototype.
Although she had already experienced the failure of summoning Hu Chuan and being chased by the rod-shaped object twice tonight, she still wanted to try summoning Old Dad.
However, she had to wait until after dawn.
Otherwise, if she actually summoned Old Dad, how would she explain something as absurd as his son becoming a daughter?
This face looks so much like Ms. Wang Meili's, it would be impossible to make up a story like she did when facing the Ancestor...
