Free Web Novel2:35 AM, room 306 of the Chen Yi Hotel.
Hua Sang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, tossed and turned. She had a strange dream.
In the dream, it was pitch black, and invisible tentacles surrounded her, pulling, contracting, and enveloping her, layer upon layer, causing her soul to gradually deviate from its normal path.
In a daze, she felt as if she had turned into a water cup, a book, a mobile phone, all sorts of objects, held by an invisible hand, going here and there, drifting with the current, unable to control herself.
Whispers echoed in her ears, as if someone was muttering, constantly getting closer, and the words gradually became clear.
"He knows all secrets, because He spies..."
The whispers stirred Hua Sang's consciousness. She didn't understand their meaning, but she inexplicably felt fear, and her Spirit Mark also became restlessly agitated.
The tortoise and snake, for once, reached a unified front, roaring deafeningly together.
Thus, in the pitch-black dream, thunder and lightning suddenly intertwined, and heavy rain poured down.
But the roars and the rumble of thunder and rain could not completely cover the strange and abnormal whispers.
It was like a ghost, following her like a shadow.
"...He spies, from the wind, from the water, from every molecule, there is no concealment, no deception, no escape..."
The whispers continued, and the roars of the tortoise and snake gradually grew stronger, until they reached an unbearable level.
Finally, Hua Sang woke up from the dream with a start.
She opened her eyes, looked at the somewhat unfamiliar ceiling, gasped violently, and was covered in sweat.
The next moment, something intruded into the range of her Spiritual Energy detection. A strong sense of crisis, like an electric current flashing through her mind, violently stimulated her nerves.
Her muscles suddenly tensed. She shot up from the bed with a carp-like movement, holding her ruler in one hand, protecting herself, and vigilantly scanning her surroundings with both eyes.
The lights in the room were off. Under the shroud of darkness, the wardrobe, wooden table, air conditioner, television... everything was just a dark outline.
Hua Sang felt that within these outlines, people or urban legend were hidden, and there was more than one. freewēbnoveℓ.com
She felt it!
She felt that in the darkness, countless deep eyes were scanning her, silent and ominous.
In the darkness, Hua Sang held her breath, while guarding against attacks that could come from any direction, and cautiously moved her body closer to the wall by the head of the bed.
"Click!"
She gently pressed the switch, but the light did not turn on. Hua Sang's heart tightened slightly. After trying to press it a few times, a warm, gentle light illuminated the entire room.
In the air, there was a faint, fishy smell like water grass, which was the residue of the night's erosion.
Instantly, the uneasy feeling of being spied on by countless eyes disappeared along with the darkness.
"..."
Hua Sang was silent, biting her silver teeth, strongly enduring the discomfort and mobilizing her Spiritual Energy. Before the night's erosion had spread further, she absorbed it all into her body.
When the faint fishy smell of water grass in the air completely dissipated, she let out a silent sigh of relief and murmured to herself.
"Was that... an illusion just now?"
She looked around the single room, which was as ordinary as could be, her brows tightly furrowed.
The feeling of being spied on just now reminded her of the urban legend stories her Grandma told her when she was a child and her Grandma wasn't home, to make her sleep obediently.
In the story, there was a type of urban legend that hid in the dark corners of the room. When someone turned off the lights late at night and lay in bed without sleeping, it would cast its gaze from under the bed, from the cracks in the wardrobe door, and from the gaps in the half-closed curtains, waiting for an opportunity to act.
However, such a legend that circulated in the countryside, known by no more than a hundred people, could hardly give birth to urban legend, let alone urban legend that could make a high-level Psychic like her feel uneasy.
"..."
But I clearly felt it just now...
And that whisper in the dream clearly pointed to a terrifying urban legend.
Could it be the Secret Society? The real culprits who caused Grand Senior Brother's death...
The sudden turn of events made Hua Sang completely unable to sleep.
Although the overwhelming pressure that the Spirit Mark brought to her body made her exhausted, the dream just now and the experience of being spied on by an unknown entity after waking up made her nerves extremely tense.
It was like the anxiety brought on by having a major exam tomorrow but not starting to review until midnight, making it impossible to feel sleepy at all.
This feeling was very uncomfortable for someone who was used to being lazy.
Master Old man this time really almost broke her. In the past, in a few more hours, she should have been lying on the rocks by the Cold Pool behind the mountain, basking in the morning sun and fishing for turtles.
"..."
If the Secret Society has already targeted me, then will Lu Yibei, who also had contact with Grand Senior Brother and even personally killed the out-of-control Grand Senior Brother, also be targeted?
I am in a Night Watch contact point, and they dare to be so reckless. Won't Lu Yibei be even more dangerous acting alone outside?
Maybe I should tell her about this and ask her to be careful? Hua Sang thought.
Although Lu Yibei, who killed her Grand Senior Brother with her own hands, was closely watched by Master Old man, showed abilities not recorded in the Night Watch files after leaving Da Chunyang Palace, changed her identity multiple times, and in addition to various deceptive actions towards Senior Qing Ji... the entire person was very suspicious.
It was impossible for her to suddenly have no hostility towards Lu Yibei, or even have a good impression.
But to say that she would just watch Lu Yibei being targeted by the Secret Society and fall into danger, yet stand by and do nothing, she also couldn't do it.
After all, the Secret Society was the real culprit that her Grand Senior Brother personally identified, and after she told her Master her Grand Senior Brother's last words, judging from her Master's reaction, there must be a big problem with the Secret Society.
And Lu Yibei was just suspicious and hadn't done anything illegal or disorderly yet.
After pondering for a long time, Hua Sang sighed silently and murmured to herself, "Forget it, I'll contact her first..."
After learning that Lu Yibei also had a marriage contract with Senior Qing Ji's great-grandson, besides reminding her to be careful of the Secret Society, Hua Sang really wanted to have a good talk with Lu Yibei.
Talking face-to-face was more reliable and easier than guessing blindly.
She felt that when she previously speculated that Lu Yibei was faking the marriage, she had just witnessed Lu Yibei killing Grand Senior Brother and was very emotional. After calming down a bit, thinking about it carefully, it was somewhat arbitrary.
Maybe Lu Yibei and Senior Qing Ji's great-grandson are true love?
It's not impossible! No one says that situation can't be true love, right?
If that's the case... I wonder if she would be willing to introduce that fiancé whom I've never met? Hua Sang thought.
She knew that when that Uncle made her and his son engage, he wanted to give her, who was completely disheartened, a little hope, even if it was extremely small, so that she wouldn't be swallowed by the out-of-control Spirit Mark before mastering the method of suppressing the Spirit Mark with the Spirit Seal.
But now, besides the marriage contract, she already had more spiritual pillars, Master, Junior Sister, Senior Qing Ji, and Master Old man. There was no need to maintain the marriage contract anymore, after all, she couldn't really marry that person, it would kill him!
She knew very well that someone like her was a complete jinx to her husband. Marrying someone was harming someone. Who knows when her Spirit Mark would go out of control and she would die, and also cause her husband's family to die violently in the intense night erosion.
So she was only suitable to be alone...
On the surface, she lived a free and easy life, but in reality, she was just Lived.
"But then again, didn't Lu Yibei also... with Gan Yuan Jiang... why is she also... with Senior Qing Ji's great-grandson... two-timing?"
Hua Sang pouted dismissively.
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me, thinking too much is tiring."
Although those ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ two people looked cold all day, the entire Hua City Night Watch could see that something was wrong with them, except for Li Xuan and Gu Niang.
Li Xuan only had his beloved car in his heart, and his emotions were probably not the same as normal humans.
Hua Sang took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Yibei.
Hua Sang: "Is it convenient to meet now?"
————
On the other side.
As Lu Yibei accelerated the progress of Song Wei's dream changes, countless fleeting images flashed before her eyes.
The morning class in Qing Hui Hall, the quiet and winding mountain path, the corridor with a strong metallic smell in Chi Li Hall, the disciples of Da Chunyang Palace passing by in a hurry...
Various people and things flew past her eyes.
Finally, the speed at which the surrounding environment changed began to slow down, and her vision settled in front of the door of a certain production room on the fourth floor of Chi Li Hall.
It was a very ordinary metal door, inlaid with semicircular rivets. Like most production room doors on the fourth floor of Chi Li Hall, a metal plate was hung on the door, engraved with the characters "424".
"Dong dong dong—!"
Song Wei knocked on the copper ring on the door, and soon a voice came from inside.
"Come in! The door isn't locked."
Lu Yibei, "..."
Is that Hu Chuan's voice? The person who had contact with Zhang Shuo... the murderer who harmed Headless Senior... a person related to the Secret Society...
As soon as she thought that she would soon see the appearance of Hu Chuan, whom she had been searching for for many days, Lu Yibei felt inexplicably nervous, and her heart beat slightly faster.
Song Wei gently turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and the scene before her changed again.
The light in the room was very dim, the curtains were tightly closed, and on the wooden long table in the center of the room, several Alchemy cauldrons were rolling, emitting a hazy smoke.
Through the smoke, she could vaguely see a man with his upper body naked, sitting on the sofa, his face hidden in the shadows, only a blurry outline visible. On his exposed chest, the muscle lines were astonishingly good, and a large number of hideous scars crisscrossed, outlining the contours of several human faces.
As he breathed, his chest rose and fell, and those few human faces also wriggled, as if they had come alive.
Is that Hu Chuan? Why are there so many injuries on him? Was he scratched by a giant panda when he was stealing bamboo shoots?
Lu Yibei tried hard to see Hu Chuan's face clearly, but could only vaguely see his meaningful gaze.
"Oh? Song Wei, I remember I asked you to come see me alone, right? Why did you bring a guest?"
Lu Yibei, "..." Guest? Was someone following Song Wei here? Why didn't I notice at all?
Just as she was wondering, she suddenly realized that Hu Chuan seemed to be looking at Song Wei, but his eyes made people feel that he was looking at someone behind Song Wei.
Lu Yibei slightly adjusted her gaze and looked around Song Wei, but found no third person.
Suddenly, an uneasy thought flashed through her mind.
Could it be that the guest Hu Chuan mentioned was me?
How is that possible?
This is clearly just a dream constructed through Mengmeng's ability...
Lu Yibei thought, looked at Hu Chuan again, looked at his eyes with a hint of playfulness, and then the uneasy feeling in her heart grew stronger.
Just then, Hu Chuan spoke, "Guest, stop looking. Since you're here, let's have a good chat? Let's talk about why you've been secretly investigating me..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei's heart was instantly squeezed hard, skipping a beat, and her pupils constricted violently.
