Free Web NovelUnder Lu Yibei's sincere plea for him to stay, the Elder from the Special Operations Team who was questioning Yu Jianqiu with him finally reluctantly remained in the little black room, and then...
While the Elder from the Special Operations Team wasn't paying attention, he ran out himself. After leaving the little black room, he skillfully locked the door from the outside.
"Click—!"
Hearing the soft click of the lock turning, the Elder from the Special Operations Team looked back at the door, his mouth twitching violently.
Looking back again at Yu Jianqiu, who clearly hadn't recovered from her agitated emotions under the light, their eyes met, and an awkward silence fell.
The Elder from the Special Operations Team thought, "I’ve long heard that Staff Lu has an eccentric style of doing things. I didn't expect this."
"It's said that in the early days of the Night Watch's establishment, the staff in each city used the Chinese zodiac as their code names. If that tradition could be maintained until now, I would be the first to nominate Staff Lu to become the 'Dog' type staff."
"What's the meaning of me having to take the blame for the romantic debts he owes?" the Elder from the Special Operations Team thought resentfully.
As he was thinking, a dizzy spell suddenly came over him, feeling like low blood sugar. His vision darkened, and his body felt weak.
Dust and a faint smell of mold wafted in the little black room. Something invisible to the naked eye seemed to be spreading vaguely – dark, murky, uncomfortable, yet inconspicuous.
Something in the air was making a sound, hidden, eerie, almost imperceptible.
Although nothing in the little black room seemed to have changed, the sensory perception it gave off was drastically different.
That feeling was as if something invisible, something "unclean," had entered the room.
Immediately following, the Elder from the Special Operations Team suddenly felt a sharp pain in the depths of his brain, as if pricked by a needle. Then, his vision went black, and his consciousness briefly blanked out.
Afterwards,
Heavy dark circles and a tired look quietly spread across his face, like ink dripping into water.
"Miss Hua Xizhuang, you overacted a bit just now."
Hua Xieyu was secretly pleased, thinking that her impromptu performance had made Lu Yibei flustered. Suddenly, she heard the Elder from the Special Operations Team say this, and she was slightly startled. Then, she came to her senses, her pupils contracting violently.
She realized that the man had appeared again, and the Night Watch member in front of her had been "possessed" by that man.
Damn it, does he think the Night Watch is his home?
Why can he come and go as he pleases?
Is there no one who can manage him? Hua Xieyu thought.
Seeing Hua Xieyu remain silent for a long time, the man added, "In terms of acting, it should be considered 'overdone.' How should I put it?"
"So what if I overacted?" Hua Xieyu pouted dismissively. "As long as I can fool that guy, isn't that enough?"
The man was silent for a few seconds, then sighed soundlessly and said, "In matters of emotion, although Lu Yibei doesn't have much experience, it's really not that easy to deceive him."
"In short, you just need to act according to the plan from now on and stop doing unnecessary things. I will find a way to clean up this mess this time."
"You acted well, don't act again next time!"
Hua Xieyu was speechless.
After slipping out of the little black room, Lu Yibei immediately took out his phone and sent a message to his emotional consultant, Miss Ju Meng. He wrote a long message, detailing the information he got from the Netizen Laosepi and the series of encounters he had while questioning Yu Jianqiu.
However, Ju Meng only replied with one sentence, "Wait a minute, I'm in a team fight!"
As a deep game enthusiast, although Lu Yibei felt that Ju Meng being offline at such a critical moment was somewhat unreliable, he could still understand Ju Meng.
If Ju Meng didn't reply at this time, only he would be let down. If she replied to him, four people would be let down.
So, he chose to wait.
The corridor outside the Special Operations Team's little black room was near Peony Street. Through the window, one could see the afternoon sunlight falling on the winding clear stream in the deep alley, reflecting shimmering light.
Lu Yibei leaned on the window sill of the corridor, quietly waiting for Ju Meng to finish her team fight and reply to his message. He watched the clear stream flowing and fell into thought.
He was indeed startled by Yu Jianqiu's reaction, especially after learning from Lin Yiqi that Yu Jianqiu was a high-level "player."
If what Yu Jianqiu said was her true inner thoughts... well, although the probability isn't very high, it's not impossible. After all, there is a red thread of fate between us. Lu Yibei thought.
Then, according to Lin Yiqi's statement, Yu Jianqiu made full preparations to gain his favor, which was enough to prove how persistent and fervent, and how "distorted," her love was.
Lu Yibei couldn't bear this fervor and didn't like that distortion.
No one in this world is indispensable to anyone else. Even a fish leaving water can be grilled and eaten.
In Lu Yibei's opinion, statements like "People cannot overcome their own feelings!" are just love-struck nonsense.
People can not only overcome their own feelings but also utterly defeat themselves.
The method is very simple: as long as you give up on today's self, you will have overcome tomorrow's self!
But if Yu Jianqiu's reaction just now was completely acted out...
Then that's even more terrifying!
Although the plot is a bit cliché, she is the first person whose acting skills have impressed me, Lu.
Scared.jpg
To be honest, if it weren't for the red thread of fate, Lu Yibei would have already tortured Yu Jianqiu.
Let's just give my Old Dad some face for now!
A gentle breeze blew, bringing the scent of various snacks from the ancient street scenic area of Peony Street. The lush willow branches in early summer swayed gently like a young girl's long hair.
In the wind, an advertisement paper fluttered, rustling, and then the wind passed, and it quietly fell, landing on the surface of the clear stream, entering Lu Yibei's eyes. It slowly unfolded, revealing the writing on it.
It was a movie promotional advertisement with a country girl printed on it, wearing braided pigtails and black-rimmed glasses. Beside her stood a handsome young man with a delicate face and a tall, thin figure. Below the two, it was written—《My Prank Lover》 is currently showing.
Lu Yibei idly glanced at the advertisement paper, then suddenly noticed the plot summary on the movie promotional advertisement, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
It read: 【The story begins with a confession. Hua Yu is a simple, cheerful, and cute girl. At the high school opening ceremony, she saw Lu Xing, who gave the freshman speech, and fell in love at first sight.
Near graduation, Hua Yu finally mustered the courage to confess to the boy she had a crush on for over two years, but Lu Xing rudely rejected her in front of everyone, causing her to be utterly humiliated on the spot.
Hua Yu thought that all this would end when she entered university, but who knew that everything was just beginning? What awaited her at university were Lu Xing's endless pranks.】
Lu Yibei thought, "Ridiculous! Can such a 'I can do it too' money-laundering bad movie actually be shown in theaters? The plot... ugh, unlucky!"

Just as he was silently complaining in his heart, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Ju Meng.
Smelly Girl: "I've finished reading the message you sent!"
Lu Yibei: "Finished reading? So, what do you think about this?"
Smelly Girl: "Isn't this simple? I'll go to school with you tomorrow and secretly observe that Miss. Then we'll know if she's lying."
Lu Yibei: "Is that all?"
Smelly Girl: "You dog! I think you're disrespecting me! Sister is the only legitimate deity of marriage in Z Country. Can't I even tell if it's true love?"
Lu Yibei: "Really? How can you tell? Can you teach me?"
Smelly Girl: "Don't even think about it. This is a unique skill of Sister's. You can't learn it!"
Lu Yibei: "Why can't I learn it? You should teach me first!"
I can even learn the Ancestor's complex sword techniques and Spells. Learning this skill probably won't be difficult.
Smelly Girl: "It's simple. For example, can you tell if Sister truly loves you?"
Lu Yibei: "??? I can't tell at all."
Smelly Girl: "Then can you tell if I really like playing games?"
Lu Yibei frowned, recalling Ju Meng's radiant look whenever she got a new game, her cheeks slightly flushed, her nostrils slightly flared with accelerated breathing, her mouth unconsciously curving upwards, and even her pink little toes tensing with excitement. He nodded thoughtfully.
He could tell that she really liked games, but she was also really bad at them.
Someone who is bad at games but addicted to them is talking about someone like Ju Meng.
Lu Yibei: "I understand. Truly liking someone will show like you seeing a new game, right? Isn't that very simple? However, judging by what you said, why do I feel like Yu Jianqiu's love is true?"
Smelly Girl: "This child is hopeless.jpg See? That's why you dog will never learn!"
Lu Yibei: "???"
Was I wrong? Where did I go wrong?
As he was thinking, the door of the little black room behind him opened, and the Elder from the Special Operations Team walked out and came to his side.
"Staff Lu, Miss Yu's matter has been dealt with. We've already sent someone to take her back first."
Lu Yibei looked at the Elder from the Special Operations Team and tilted his head. "Oh? She didn't say anything, did she?"
"She..." The Elder from the Special Operations Team hesitated.
"Say what?" Lu Yibei pressed.
"She said she won't give up, and even if you escape to the ends of the earth, she won't let you go," the Elder from the Special Operations Team said with an unusual expression.
Lu Yibei was speechless.
Although... why does this still sound like she's planning revenge on me? It's creepy.
"Alright!" Lu Yibei collected his thoughts and nodded. "Since it's been dealt with for now, I'll be leaving."
Seeing Lu Yibei start walking, the Elder from the Special Operations Team quickly followed him. "Staff Lu, I'll see you out."
"Okay, okay." Lu Yibei nodded.
So, the two walked out side by side along the corridor.
"Lu..."
"Huh?"
"Actually, I think that Miss Yu is quite good. If it really doesn't work out, why don't you give it a try with her? Anyway, you won't lose anything."
What's going on, Elder brother? Have you been subverted so quickly? Lu Yibei frowned and looked at the Elder from the Special Operations Team, about to say something, when he suddenly noticed his tired expression and heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he was slightly startled.
"Elder brother, haven't you been resting well lately? Your mental state doesn't seem very good!"
Just now in the little black room, the light was dim, and he hadn't noticed how bad the Elder from the Special Operations Team's condition was for a moment.
The Elder from the Special Operations Team was silent for two seconds, then gave a heavy and pained answer that convinced Lu Yibei.
"It's a long story, but simply put, the one at my house recently plans to respond to the country's call and have a child..."
Lu Yibei's lips parted slightly, and he hesitated several times before finally patting the Elder from the Special Operations Team's shoulder and saying earnestly, "I understand! However, you still need to pay more attention to your health! I know a friend who specializes in medicine for that area. I'll get some for you later."
Recently, those Little Freaks in the apartment have concocted a medicine for that area. It is said that the effect is not bad, Lu Yibei added in his heart.
"Thanks," the Elder from the Special Operations Team said.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" As he spoke, Lu Yibei glanced at the main entrance ahead. "Since you've been working so hard day and night to this extent, shall we stop here?"
Hearing this, the Elder from the Special Operations Team nodded. "Okay, take care."
With that, he stood still and watched Lu Yibei's retreating figure until it disappeared from sight.
Then, his mind went blank ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) for a moment, and the fatigue and heavy dark circles on his face quietly disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, looking at the empty corridor, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"How did I... end up here? Wasn't I supposed to..." He muttered to himself, turned around to look in the direction of the little black room, and frowned.
Immediately after, he tried hard to recall what had happened before, and a blurry memory surfaced in his mind.
He vaguely remembered coming out of the little black room and seeing Lu Yibei off. As for the rest, he didn't remember at all.
That feeling was like getting drunk and having a blackout.
The Elder from the Special Operations Team thought, "Oh dear! Have I already started to feel mentally confused?"
I need to have a good talk with my wife later and slow down the plan to have a baby a bit. This time, I'm really going to be drained.
If this continues, if I encounter any mission, I'm afraid I'll have to make a glorious sacrifice.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
On the Barents Sea, around the Svalbard archipelago, on a strange island covered with giant gray trees that most humans have never set foot on or even imagined, in a low, dilapidated wooden hut.
In the cramped room, the firewood crackled, and the flames in the fireplace flickered, the firelight outlining the skeletons and fossils displayed on the surrounding shelves.
Those fossils and skeletons included fossils of Devonian cephalopods and Spiriferida, dinosaur skulls from the Jurassic period, Oligocene mammal tusks, and the bones of various modern creatures. freewёbnoνel.com
This place was like an animal cemetery that began in the prehistoric era.
Under the firelight, a plain-looking middle-aged man with his eyes closed suddenly had a ball of black flame rise from his brow. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the nine figures in front of him, hidden in the shadows, who could no longer be called human.
"Elders, I apologize. I was tired from the journey and couldn't help but take a nap for a while. I hope you don't mind."
As his words fell, terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out, covering the entire small island.
For a moment, the hut was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to raise a single question.
