Although Qingji had a slight intention of retaliation when he proposed to teach Lu Yibei the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu and the Body Double, he was also sincerely teaching.
When he attacked Lu Yibei again, he displayed all the details of how to use the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu and the Body Double in front of Lu Yibei's eyes.
It was as thorough as a colonoscopy.
And Lu Yibei, as always, used her life to continuously comprehend the mysteries of the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu and the Body Double.
Finally, after giving away more than a dozen heads, she memorized all the details of how to use the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu.
Lu Yibei felt like she was capable again.
Excellent, it's time to put it into practice!
So, she turned and charged towards Qingji, blowing the horn of counterattack. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"The reality that cannot be touched, the darkness that cannot be spied upon, the fragrance that cannot be smelled..."
"The reality that cannot be touched, the darkness that cannot be spied upon, the fragrance that cannot be smelled..."
The two confronted each other a few meters apart, chanting the same Spell at almost the same speed, their ten fingers changing, continuously forming the same hand seals.
Without considering appearances, the two were synchronized like mirrors.
And then...
At the moment the Spell was completed, colorless, enchanting flowers appeared in Qingji's palm, while Lu Yibei's hand was empty.
"..."
Looking at her empty palm, and the dust floating in her line of sight as if slowed down by hundreds of times, feeling the pain amplified dozens of times as the strong wind carried snowflakes across her face, she was dumbfounded.
The next moment, she died again...

The reason people suffer is often because they fail to gain a reward that matches the suffering.
It's like getting a bad test score and being lectured by parents, which is acceptable. But after studying hard, still getting a bad test score and being lectured at the same time, that's the real pain.
After entering the learning state, Lu Yibei felt that she gained something with each death, which seemed to alleviate much of the pain.
Before, it was like being in prison, but now it's much better, reaching the level of community service.
Drifting in the darkness, Lu Yibei closed her eyes, recalling and repeatedly contemplating the various details she had memorized during the exchange with Qingji just now.
Then, she had an epiphany!
She realized that she probably couldn't master the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu and the Body Double in a short time, but...
Who says you have to learn it completely?
It's not impossible to make a knock-off version to use for now!
This isn't an exam; it doesn't require a "problem-solving process," and even the final answer doesn't need to be completely correct... Lu Yibei thought.
The way the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu works is quite bizarre. At the moment the Spell is completed, the Spiritual Energy is transformed into controllable spiritual particles through the Spell, floating towards the cursed person like pollen, and invading the body.
Moreover, that enchanting flower doesn't seem to be condensed from the Spell. I heard that to use Gu poison Spells, you need to use "Gu," and that flower might be Qingji's Gu.
Leaving aside the Gu, in terms of the way it works alone, it has the same wonderful effect as the Charm ability brought by the core of the Demoness Seed urban legend Ontology Core.
As long as she tries and practices more, it's not entirely impossible to simulate the effect of the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu with the Charm ability.
The Body Double, on the other hand, is a technique that unleashes the purest Spiritual Energy from within the body. At the moment the Spiritual Energy becomes free, it uses the resonance between the Spiritual Energy fluctuations and one's own Spiritual Energy to control its form, position, etc., in a short period, achieving a similar effect to a doppelganger.
This is a pure and ultimate Spiritual Energy control technique, close to the Dao. Only Psychic like Qingji, who can easily simulate the Hundred-Armed Giant Power with Spiritual Energy, can achieve this. It is not only difficult for others to reach this level, but it also doesn't significantly improve their strength.
But...
I don't actually need to reach the level of Spiritual Energy control of the Ancestor, right?
I also have similar abilities, which are the innate skills of the core of the Mythological Seed urban legend Ontology Core. Perhaps I can take a shortcut? Lu Yibei thought.
To some extent, her innate skills are even more exquisite than the Body Double. They don't require the resonance of Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Energy fluctuations; they can be controlled and detonated with just a thought.
The only thing her innate skills lack compared to the Body Double is the inability to freely adjust their form and position after leaving the body...
If I can observe more details of the Ancestor using the Body Double and overcome this flaw, perhaps my innate skills will be able to "fly" in the future! Lu Yibei thought excitedly.
While thinking, she smoothly completed another "sit-up" of life and death.
Looking around and locking onto Qingji's figure, she did a carp jump to stand up, her gaze firm, and charged towards Qingji...

At the same time.
While Lu Yibei was dying repeatedly, the ambulance had already arrived at the Electric Competition Hall.
Guided by the panicked internet cafe manager, a group of medical personnel arrived at the single private room, lifted the "unconscious" Lu Yibei onto a stretcher, and walked towards the ambulance parked outside the Electric Competition Hall.
The nurse Miss who was the last to leave paused for a moment and, as usual, asked the internet cafe manager about the details before the patient lost consciousness.
"Hello, did you find him unconscious just now?"
"Yes, yes," the internet cafe manager replied with a trembling voice.
"Then before you found him unconscious, or even earlier, did you notice anything unusual about him?"
"I..." The internet cafe manager recalled for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, yes, from the moment he entered the private room, he kept staring at the computer screen, as if, as if there was something in the computer that had taken his soul away, it was too scary!"
"You, you say, could this be some kind of urban legend event?"
The nurse Miss was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little brother, there aren't that many urban legend events in the world. We «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» have to believe in science!"
It really sounded like a urban legend event. I'll contact the Senior Brother on duty at the hospital later.
The nurse Miss thought, recorded the information on the form, and asked another question, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
"Also... also, I, I didn't give him the 2.5L cola?"
Medical personnel, "???"

10:02 AM.
Prosperity Beijing Qixing Mountain, Si Ye Hui Headquarters, Conference Room 3.
Kind reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your book shelf and reading record in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
Two people were sitting around a large conference table, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a woman with short shoulder-length hair and phoenix eyes.
They were the two Guardians of the Night Watch, Lord Bing and Nameless Book.
"I heard that Black Emperor summoned us here for a newly discovered Calamity level urban legend?" Lord Bing asked Nameless Book.
He had rushed over from Shanhai Pass immediately after receiving Zhang Huainan's notification and had not yet had time to learn the details of the situation.
"Yes," Nameless Book replied, briefly explaining the information she had learned from Zhang Huainan, and then said calmly, "That's all I know. The detailed situation will only be known when Black Emperor arrives."
After listening, Lord Bing nodded to indicate understanding and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "How is the situation in Yumen Pass?"
Some time ago, after receiving the urgent news from Yumen Pass, the Night Watch dispatched two Guardians, Qin Huaijun and Nameless Book, as well as more than ten A-level Spirit Ability Users to provide support.
Yes, Nameless Book had already gone to Yumen Pass for support, but due to the special nature of her Spirit Mark Power, she always had a "body" remaining at the Si Ye Hui Headquarters. Therefore, Lord Bing felt that she was probably the person who knew the current situation in Yumen Pass the best.
Nameless Book shook her head, "It's very bad. You probably know better than I do what that dead God Kingdom was used for in the first place."
"Over the years, an astonishing number of urban legend have gathered there, and some astonishing changes seem to have occurred. Now that the God Kingdom has been damaged, those urban legend have poured out like a flood, and even that Qin Huaijun has been exhausted twice from killing."
"She's exhausted twice?" Lord Bing asked in surprise.
Although that Qin Huaijun is single-minded and her Spirit Mark Power is purely focused on violence, precisely because of this, she can almost be considered the one with the strongest sustained combat power among the nine Guardians.
Even she was exhausted twice from killing, and that was with Nameless Book and the Yumen Sand Sea faction fighting together...
This sounds as exaggerated as plowing the fields until two strong adult bulls are exhausted to death.
"Yes," Nameless Book nodded, "However, the good news is that so far, the urban legend within Yumen Pass have not successfully escaped, and the surrounding areas are still relatively safe for now."
"That's good..." Lord Bing nodded, "If you need support, contact me at any time. Recently, Shanhai Pass has been relatively stable, and the number of urban legend invasions outside the pass has significantly decreased. I should be able to spare some time to go to Yumen Pass."
Hearing this, Nameless Book seemed to recall something unpleasant and frowned almost imperceptibly, then responded calmly, "Okay, I appreciate the offer."
As her words fell, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
Soon after, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A slightly overweight young man dressed in colorful clothes walked in.
In his hand, he was playing with an exaggerated toad ornament made of ivory, gold, and jade, inlaid with colorful gemstones on the toad's back.
Coupled with the young man's worldly smile, his whole person exuded a strong nouveau riche aura.
Seeing the young man, Lord Bing frowned slightly and said, "Jinchang? Why didn't Caishen (God of Wealth) come?"
The person who came was another Guardian of the Night Watch, Caishen (God of Wealth)'s most capable assistant, code-named Jin Chan Lang.
"Oh, don't mention it!" Jin Chan Lang rolled his eyes, "Recently, something happened in M Country, and they couldn't handle it, so they asked Caishen, that old man, to go and help."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Lord Bing, "You must be Lord Bing, right? I've long admired your name. Want a Huazi?"
Lord Bing glanced at the "No Smoking" sign on the wall out of the corner of his eye, waved his hand, and asked, "Something happened? What requires Caishen to go?"
Noticing Lord Bing's gaze, Jin Chan Lang chuckled awkwardly, looked at the sign on the wall, and reluctantly put away the cigarette.
"A newly born urban legend," Nameless Book interjected, "From the information currently known, it seems to be a Power born from humanity's blind pursuit of virtual currency. Simply put, virtual currency has become a spirit."
After a pause, she added, "It is said that it has already begun to condense a God Kingdom Prototype, and the raw materials for it to condense the God Kingdom Prototype are the money of those who speculate in cryptocurrencies, as well as a series of negative emotions generated when they go bankrupt."
"According to my estimation, when its God Kingdom Prototype is successfully condensed, it will inevitably trigger a financial crisis, and due to the influence of its Power, those affected by the financial crisis are very likely to be transformed into its dependents."
Jin Chan Lang looked at Nameless Book and said repeatedly, "That's right, that's right! That's exactly what happened!"
"That urban legend is a first-generation urban legend, and its Power is attached to the virtual network, making it very difficult to deal with. Even Caishen, that old man, finds it quite troublesome..."
"Virtual..." Nameless Book murmured in a voice only she could hear. Mentioning this, she suddenly remembered the little bug she had come into contact with through Black Emperor not long ago.
If that little bug was willing to help, would this matter be easier to resolve? Nameless Book thought, gently shook her head, withdrew her attention, and looked back at Jin Chan Lang.
"In short, that's the situation. So I rushed to the severely affected area where the urban legend event erupted overnight and could only send me to attend this meeting..." Jin Chan Lang said.
"By the way! Both of you, what is the theme of our meeting this time? Sorry, I was in a hurry when I came and didn't have time to understand the specific situation..."
Nameless Book looked at Lord Bing, then at Jin Chan Lang, and said indifferently, "A newly born urban legend."
Jin Chan Lang, "..." No, why are big urban legend newly born these days popping up like mushrooms after rain, one after another? Are they going to let people live?
Just as he was muttering to himself, the door of the conference room was pushed open again. Zhang Huainan, dressed in black, walked in quickly and sat down at the head of the table.
His gaze swept over Lord Bing and Nameless Book, paused slightly on Jin Chan Lang, and then he said, "Is everyone here? Then let's start the meeting?"
Jin Chan Lang looked at the solemn Zhang Huainan with his eyes open and felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.
Whenever Zhang Huainan appeared in public at the Night Watch, he always had a Squinting look. Over time, a rumor spread within the Night Watch that "when Black Emperor opens his eyes, something big is happening."
This matter here also seems very serious, even Black Emperor has opened his eyes!

11:21 AM.
After some discussion, Zhang Huainan, Lord Bing, Nameless Book, and Jin Chan Lang finally finalized the action plan for the urban legend code-named "code f".
Lord Bing was responsible for contacting the civilian Psychic organizations, and Jin Chan Lang returned to the Night Watch under Caishen (God of Wealth)'s jurisdiction to be responsible for the operations in that financial center with his colleagues.
To Zhang Huainan's surprise, in addition to being responsible for overall coordination and liaison work as usual, Nameless Book actually volunteered to contact the Tulip Club.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhang Huainan mentioned that the urban legend was referred to as "Pink Fluffy Rabbit" in the information he knew, the four people almost unanimously rejected this code name.
After all, there was no sense of accomplishment in defeating the Pink Fluffy Rabbit, and once defeated, losing to the Pink Fluffy Rabbit would be an indelible shame.

11:47 AM.
On an old, sparsely populated street on the outskirts of Shizhou City.
Three disciples of the Da Chunyang Palace, dressed in casual clothes, sat in a black SUV.
The car windows were closed, and through the windows, their eyes fell on the old dormitory building across the road.
Suddenly, the bao sang cang xiao badge carried by one of the disciples vibrated. After a light touch of his finger, a voice that surprised the three of them came from the badge.
"Hello, I am Hu Chuan, also known as Gu He. Do you want to hear the screams of your companions?"
As the words fell, a heart-wrenching scream echoed in the car, and the faces of the three people in the car turned pale.
