Free Web NovelIf the online world were seen as a giant city, then each Website and software would be a building within that city.
Just as the bustling areas of a city constantly change with the times, those Websites and software that were once popular will gradually decline over time.
【TheVoiceofheart】 A portal Website primarily focused on music information, it was lukewarm from its inception and never truly remembered by most people. In today's age, where various professional music software are prevalent, it has long been eliminated by the era.
Just like those former landmark buildings forgotten in the corners of the city.
It has stopped updating for a long time, its homepage still displays album release information from over a decade ago, the web UI is quite rough, and advertisements are flying everywhere, easily reminding one of those embarrassing and improper Websites.
No one knows why it's still operating, and probably no one is interested. Even fewer people would notice the web chat room, which was originally an auxiliary function of this Website, with its entrance in an inconspicuous corner.
Moreover, this web chat room even has a password, although it's just a simple 123. Yet, at this very moment, there are over a dozen members in this web chat room, discussing intensely.
004: "What's the situation? The target has a boyfriend? How come such important information was never mentioned before? If it's true, all previous analysis and plans will have to be completely overturned!"
011: "I'm more concerned about whether he really has a boyfriend. The change in self-perception and orientation after a human male integrates the core of a Demoness Seed urban legend entity is highly valuable for research."
014: "It's not entirely impossible. I'm sure everyone knows that when a person exhibits talkative behavior, it's often to release anxiety, unease, and feelings of loneliness. If someone can soothe his anxiety and give him a sense of security, he is very likely to develop dependence and affection for that person, regardless of gender."
006: "Don't be so rigid about species! Perhaps the boyfriend he mentioned is a male urban legend entity?"
007: "If that's the case, I'd quite like to do an experiment with him later, comparing whether a human male or a male urban legend entity can give him more security."
001 【Administrator】: "Everyone, is it possible, I mean possible, that perhaps the target is lying?" Everyone: ""
014: "Indeed, lying is also a self-defense mechanism."
In a small, unknown company in a certain city, at an inconspicuous workstation in the corner.
The man with heavy dark circles under his eyes watched as the topic in the chat room gradually returned to normal, becoming increasingly professional and rigorous. He let out a long sigh, moved the mouse, and closed the Website.
Although countless "eyes" were "watching" Lu Yibei, and there were dedicated personnel following up, even if he didn't remind them, those Eclipse Society members would soon discover Lu Yibei was talking nonsense.
But he still couldn't help but use work time to secretly check on the progress of the matter. Who could refuse a pleasant moment of slacking off?
Slacking off at work is an essential skill for a mature office worker.
A moment later, the phone on the desk vibrated. It was a message from the Eclipse Society member responsible for contacting Hua Xieyu. After reading the message, the man frowned, "He got away?"
Although he had long anticipated that the "Neighboring Old Man Blind Date" plan wouldn't be so easy to succeed, what he hadn't expected was that Lu Yibei had even avoided the subsequently arranged "accidental" encounter at the windmill.
According to the original plan, Lu Yibei would never have been able to take a taxi or ride-sharing car no matter what. In the end, he would have "accidentally" met that Old man and his granddaughter, and then taken a ride back to Hua City.
However, for some unknown reason, Lu Yibei actually managed to get a taxi.
"Never mind, Hua City is his territory. If it were too easy, it would be abnormal. We'll arrange other opportunities later," the man muttered to himself.
What he told Hua Xieyu at Xiang Niangzi Cave, "When two people are destined to fall in love, the whole world will create opportunities for them," wasn't just to create an atmosphere, but because he could truly do it.
To a certain extent, he was the "world."
As long as he wanted to, no matter how Lu Yibei avoided it, he had a way to make Lu Yibei and Hua Xieyu meet—
After the Old man learned that Lu Yibei "had a boyfriend," she didn't get discouraged. Instead, she recounted all the interesting stories about her granddaughter from childhood to adulthood, one by one.
It gave one the illusion of "Do you mind having one more girlfriend?" He listened to the Old man's incessant chatter the whole way and had had enough!
So, when the plane landed at Huacheng Airport, and the announcement just said, "Please disembark from the front boarding door," Lu Yibei ran.
Before the Old man next to him could even get up, he leaped over her, darting past her side. It was as if he had ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ completely forgotten the agreement they had just made to have lunch together. In that instant, the Old man felt as if she had become the hurdle in a hurdle race.
And the "cripple" who had completed the hurdle jump, after standing still in the corridor, mumbled, ""Excuse me, please move aside," and hobbled off the plane under the watchful eyes of a crowd of passengers lining the way. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
His appearance was so convincing it was as if Jiang Hao had possessed him.
After getting off the plane, leaving the terminal, and arriving at the taxi stand, estimating that the Old man could no longer catch up to him, Lu Yibei finally took out his phone and turned on mobile data.
Although many planes nowadays can use WIFI for internet access, mobile data is still prohibited, which is why Lu Yibei didn't receive the message Hua Sang had sent him several hours earlier until this moment.
Hua Sang: "Your dumplings caught an Old Wang!"
Seeing this message, Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat, and then confusion replaced surprise. It didn't make sense!
Those dumplings were clearly just very ordinary farewell dumplings, and they tasted particularly bad. How could they become Human Fireworks?
As Lu Yibei thought this, just as he was about to send a message to ask Hua Sang for details about catching the Xuan Turtle urban legend entity core, he received Hua Sang's next message, which had been delayed.
Hua Sang: "But I couldn't pull it up. It's a shame, I was so close to success for the first time. I can only try again when you come next time." Lu Yibei: ""That's strange! Why does she seem happy in her words even though she failed? Does she want to see me that much?"
Lu Yibei: "Try more! That whole plate of dumplings should be enough for you to fish until tomorrow morning, right?" He waited for a moment.
Hua Sang: "I tried. But except for the first one, the rest didn't work, and they even poisoned a bunch of little Wangs. My Master has already forbidden me from throwing dumplings into the Cold Pool."
Hua Sang: "Oh, right, after you left today, more than half of the Elders at Da Chunyang Palace experienced symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. They wouldn't tell me what happened when I asked. Do you have any idea?"
Looking at Hua Sang's message, Lu Yibei remembered the more than sixty dumplings he had left in Lan Yue Cave to "show filial piety" to Zhang Huainan, and his face turned pale.
Lu Yibei: "Absolutely not."
The dumplings were already given to that Old man Zhang Huainan. The sin is his, what does it have to do with me, Lu Yibei?
After chatting with Hua Sang for a few more sentences, telling her not to worry and that he would definitely make more "Human Fireworks" for her after going to Liao Zhai Tavern and asking her to prepare a fishing rod of good quality, Lu Yibei exited the messaging interface, found Jiang Hao's number, and as usual, sent her at least one message daily.
Lu Yibei: "Task successfully completed, safely returned to Hua City. Please rest assured, Leader! 【/doge】" After sending the message, he didn't wait for Jiang Hao's reply but directly put away his phone.
Generally speaking, Night Watch agents undergo a large amount of adaptation training at the Si Ye Hui Headquarters before advancing to an A-Level Spirit Mark to ensure the success rate of the advancement. After completing the advancement, they also undergo extensive testing to confirm the stability of the Spirit Mark.
Jiang Hao has been completing her Spirit Mark advancement at the Si Ye Hui Headquarters during this time and has almost no free time. Lu Yibei is already used to receiving a reply several hours or even a whole day after sending her a message.
But, receiving a reply is good.
Putting away his phone, standing at the taxi stand, Lu Yibei waved and, without surprise, hailed Uncle Zhang Shan's car—
"It's you again?"
Seeing the other person's face through the rearview mirror, both of them spoke almost simultaneously—
"To Jingyi Apartment Complex?" "To Jingyi Apartment Complex."
The two spoke in unison again.
"Long time no see, tell me some new urban legend events?"
"Long time no see, I have a new urban legend story, want to hear it?"
Just like that, the lines of one person trying to get a free ride and another trying to collect urban legend story material for his radio show "collided" again.
How to put it?
Fate, it's such a wonderful thing!
In the silence, Lu Yibei shifted his gaze, secretly observing Uncle Zhang Shan in the rearview mirror.
He was wearing the standard grey and black uniform of a Hua City taxi driver, with a sheepskin towel draped around his neck for wiping sweat.
He had a low-maintenance buzz cut. Perhaps due to years of exposure to wind and sun, his skin was somewhat dark. On his defined face, beneath two thick eyebrows, his slightly sunken eyes were bright and full of life.

Alright, confirmed. There’s absolutely no feeling of attraction. It shouldn’t be... Damn! Why would I suspect Uncle Zhang Shan might be a destined partner?
This is "way off the mark!" Lu Yibei thought.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, 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!
He’s really been driven crazy recently by the hundreds and thousands of destined relationships Zhang Huainan mentioned. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Honestly, if only there was a way to know directly who you have a destined relationship with. "Didn't you say you were going to tell a urban legend story? Well, go on!"
Seeing that Lu Yibei hadn't spoken for a long time, Uncle Zhang Shan couldn't help but urge him. "Oh, oh!" Lu Yibei collected his thoughts. "Then I'll start telling it!" Since you're so eager to experience an extreme psychological thrill, I won't be polite! The story begins with a murder case. That day, an Officer from a police station..."
"Wait!" Just as Lu Yibei started, Uncle Zhang Shan interrupted. "This story isn't very good! Last time there was a great monster, so why has the level dropped so much this time, starting with a murder case?"
"Tell one like the last one again, the audience loves to hear it!" Lu Yibei, "..."
Good heavens!
You're no longer satisfied with ordinary urban legend stories, and only A-Level urban legend incidents can catch your eye now? You're planning to become a "Calamity"-level urban legend radio host, aren't you? Lu Yibei thought.
"Don't worry, this story is no worse than the last one!"
After all, it's adapted from a real case in the Pink Fluffy Rabbit attack incident.
If anyone thinks the Pink Fluffy Rabbit isn't scary enough, first ask the phone in your hand, which wants to kill you at any moment, if it agrees!
In fact, in the Pink Fluffy Rabbit attack incident, the proportion of people injured by mobile phones was surprisingly high.
This is largely because nowadays,
there are many people addicted to their phones, poking and prodding at the screen countless times every day.
Let me ask you, if someone kept poking you on the head all day for no reason, would you be angry? Would you want to kill that person?
~~~~~
Jingyi Apartment Complex, Lu Yibei's home.
In the afternoon, bright sunlight filled every corner of this two-story small apartment. At this time, there was no sign of the Little Freaks, and the apartment was quiet.
Although Lu Yibei had arranged for them to take good care of Wang Yingying and regularly switch her prenatal audio before leaving,
they, as usual, would not obediently listen. They had long since run to the depths of the University City sewers, where the sun couldn't reach, to hang out with the Mud Monsters and Cockroach Mice.
The sliding glass door on the balcony was open, leaving a gap. Outside the door were the blue sky and white clouds. Suddenly, a black dot appeared between the blue sky and white clouds, and then rapidly approached.
Accompanied by a faint "click" of sharp claws scraping against the metal railing, a Magpie with glossy feathers and a tail adorned with gorgeous patterns landed on the balcony. It turned its small head left and right, leaped forward, and in a flash of dazzling crimson light, transformed into a young girl.
The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a red qipao embroidered with flocks of Magpies and peach trees. Her dark green long hair was styled into a bun, secured by a golden Hollow hair accessory, making her look particularly festive.
"Strange, where did the person go?"
Ju Meng pouted her pink lips, took two steps forward, pushed open the sliding glass door, and immediately coughed lightly twice, covering her nose and mouth with her fair little hand, her face full of disdain.
"Cough, cough, so much dust? That dog thing probably hasn't been back for a while, right?"
As she spoke, she gently hooked her finger, and a soft, refreshing breeze blew in from outside the balcony, sweeping up the dust and trash in the entire room, and sending it out through the half-open window in the living room.
Looking around, seeing the refreshed room, Ju Meng put her hands on her hips, nodded in satisfaction, and then jogged upstairs.
Heh heh, while that dog thing isn't back, let's see what games he's bought recently!"
What? A disrupted thread of destined relationship?
Don't be anxious, it's not that easy to change a person's destined relationship.
As the only legitimate God of Destined Relationships within 9.6 million square kilometers, don't I know that?
Ju Meng thought to herself, and as soon as she went upstairs, she saw that ball of flesh rolling around on Lu Yibei's bed, wearing headphones.
"???"
Ju Meng was completely stunned.
Through her Power, she clearly felt that it should be a urban legend embryo. In the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, there was even a hint of Lu Yibei's aura.
What "is this?
It hasn't been that long since we last met, and that dog thing's child is already this big?
No, when did he have a child? As the dignified God in charge of offspring, why didn't I sense it at all?
Could this be the legendary "witchs egg"? But it's too big, isn't it?
Ju Meng thought, looked around, and stealthily walked forward, like patting a watermelon. She gave Wang Yinglou a "slap!" on the body, pressing her in place, and then...
Her gaze gradually became perverted.
The taxi, which set off from Huacheng Airport, had been driving for about twenty minutes. The outline of the city center could already be seen in the distance, and Lu Yibei's story had entered its climax.
Just then, Uncle Zhang Shan couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait! You mean there were no clues left by the killer at the scene? Who killed that couple? It couldn't have been the TV, could it?"
"That's right!" Lu Yibei affirmed. "It was the TV."
"Hiss--!" Uncle Zhang Shan gasped, getting goosebumps all over.
He found that the story Lu Yibei was telling this time was completely different from before.
The previous urban legend stories were straightforward fear, while this time, the urban legend story brought a feeling of chilling dread upon closer thought.
Furniture that inexplicably changes position when no one is home, eyes that secretly watch, appliances that are ready to kill at any time... The entire story, like a block of ice, rolled down his spine on a hot day.
"It's too terrifying. How do you deal with such a urban legend? Isn't that equivalent to going against all the appliances in the world?"
In order to cause some unpredictable impact on the Pink Fluffy Rabbit's Power when Uncle Zhang Shan spreads the urban legend story, Lu Yibei deliberately replaced the "items" in the story with "appliances."
"Well..." Lu Yibei deliberately paused, as if keeping the audience in suspense.
Immediately after, just as he was about to continue making things up, Uncle Zhang Shan's phone, which was on the WeChat group interface, suddenly rang.
Puff puff, puff puff! Brothers, is anyone near the airport road exit? I've run into a bit of trouble here, can anyone available come and help?"
A slightly sharp male voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Among many taxi drivers, there are such chat groups, used for sharing road condition information, and also for chatting and relieving loneliness when there are no passengers.
"What's up with you again, third brother!" Someone asked.
"Met a damn kid who insisted on cutting me off, and now we've crashed!" The man with the sharp voice said angrily. "Crashing is no big deal, it's all covered by insurance anyway, but the main thing is I still have two passengers in the car..."
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang Shan cleared his throat, took one hand off the steering wheel, lightly touched the screen, and said, "Third brother, where is your car broken down? I'm near the airport road intersection, I can go over and pick up your passengers."
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, right near the horse-stepping-ball statue at the airport road intersection."
"Okay, I'll be there right away, one minute!" Zhang Shan said.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei tilted his head and said, "No, Uncle, why are you leaving right away? Aren't you going to ask for my opinion as a passenger?"
Uncle Zhang Shan gave Lu Yibei a glare through the rearview mirror and said faintly, "Although your story is very good, people who ride for free are not qualified to give opinions!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Uncle, you've changed, really!
Where did the good Uncle go, who was timid and afraid of trouble, not to mention bullying free passengers, but even dared not accept cash before? So, one minute later, Zhang Shan arrived at the airport road intersection, near the horse-stepping-ball statue, as scheduled.
Through the windshield, he saw in the distance the familiar-faced Old man by the roadside, and the beautiful young girl beside her. Lu Yibei's eyes widened, and he inexplicably felt as if he had seen a ghost.
Destiny, "wonderful" beyond words.
