Free Web NovelHua City border, in the mountains and forests.
After waiting for a full four hours, Suo E, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, stood up abruptly, and gazed at Hua City, falling into a daze.
"This, how could this be?"
He found it difficult to accept the sudden and bizarre change.
Seeing Suo E's unusual behavior, Miss Rabbit slightly furrowed her brows and tentatively asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Parasitic Kindred Abomination given to Hua Xizhuang?"
Based on her understanding of Suo E, even if a Calamity held a knife to his throat, threatening his life, he wouldn't even frown.
The only thing that could cause him emotional fluctuation was the Elder Council's mission.
At this moment, Suo E's only mission was to use the core of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination through Hua Xieyu to attack the Eclipse Society President.
"Yes," Suo E responded, a hint of anxiety and worry visible between his eyebrows. "I've been closely monitoring that Parasitic Kind for a while."
Through the special Spell given to him by the Elder Council, he had been closely sensing the movements of the Parasitic Kind.
Up until ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ five minutes ago, the feedback from the special Spell regarding the spread of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination's Power was completely normal.
However, the feedback from the special Spell now showed a drastic change.
In just five short minutes, the Power of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination had rapidly decayed and withered, shifting from a state of peak prosperity to one of struggling survival.
This result was like planting seeds in fertile soil, watching them grow lush branches and leaves, and bloom into vibrant flowers, only to finally yield ugly fruits infested with maggots.
After hearing Suo E's explanation, Miss Rabbit's brows knitted together. "Why would this happen?"
As her voice fell, the figure of a Calamity suddenly flashed through her mind.
But immediately after, she quickly dismissed her own conjecture.
The Parasitic Kindred Abomination, as the rarest and most bizarre existence among all types of urban legend, was something that even the Night Watch had no effective countermeasure for, except for suppressing it with absolute force. How could a Calamity possibly have one?
If she could resolve the Parasitic Kindred Abomination, wouldn't that mean that in some aspects, she possessed strength that surpassed the Night Watch?
If that were truly the case, Miss Rabbit thought, her eyes deepening.
It was like suddenly realizing one day that a fated enemy, who started at a similar or even lower point than you, suddenly possessed abilities you couldn't possibly reach, and a sense of powerlessness welled up.
She couldn't help but question herself repeatedly in self-reproach and regret, asking why she didn't seize the opportunity to kill the enemy when she had the chance, only to regret and shed tears alone in the end.
Was Miss Rabbit the type of urban legend that would blame herself or yield?
Her will, like her vitality, was extraordinarily strong, and she quickly adjusted her mindset.
If the Calamity has A+ level strength, I will also become A+ level. If the Calamity becomes a Calamity, I will use the power of a Calamity to kill her! Miss Rabbit thought fiercely.
As she was thinking, Suo E shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it's too late to return to Hua City to confirm now."
"The mission has failed. We are about to face the double wrath of the Chairman and the Calamity. We need to leave quickly."
Leaving will make us safe? Blue Yi, that bitch, said that the Elder Council's punishment for those who fail missions is always severe, Miss Rabbit thought.
But she still nodded.
Although she was very worried that failing such an important mission this time, the Elder Council might not let Suo E off as easily as before, the punishment from the Elder Council, which might arrive at any time, and the Eclipse Society President and the Calamity, who were likely to arrive soon, were clearly much more terrifying.
"Right, did you exchange contact information with Miss Lan before?" Suo E suddenly asked, not long after they had started walking away. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Before we leave, let's inform her of the situation, shall we? Otherwise, I'm afraid she might not succeed in taking advantage of the situation and instead fall into danger."
For some reason, he wanted Blue Yi to survive.
"Oh? Just now you were calling her a traitor, and now she's Miss Lan?" Miss Rabbit said sarcastically, "Your change in address is quite fast, isn't it?!"
"No, I mean..."
Although he didn't know what he had said wrong to make his partner unhappy, Suo E still tried to explain.
"No, you remembered wrong!" Miss Rabbit interrupted coldly.
As she spoke, her hand quietly reached into her jacket pocket and fiercely crumpled the contact information Blue Yi had left into a ball.
What a seductive slut.
It's better if she dies!
Hua City.
On the street enclosed by the city's barrier, which had been almost leveled, the soul-shaking singing gradually faded.
"How was that 'love and magical girls Act Four Interlude' just now?"
Hearing the question from Night Run Girl, Lord Bing took a deep breath and calmly said, "It was okay."
As he spoke, his eyes were as cold as if he had been killing fish at a large supermarket for thirty years.
In fact, if Night Run Girl hadn't mentioned the name of the song she was singing, Lord Bing would have even thought she was singing some long-lost shamanistic chant.
It was too terrifying. She almost completely avoided the correct notes. He didn't know whether to say she was proficient in music or completely clueless.
"Since that's the case, shall I sing you one last song?"
"What?" Lord Bing almost broke down.
In the past, Nameless Book always complained that he was a schemer and said that he would eventually be dealt with by a natural type. He scoffed and didn't believe it at all.
But today, he believed it.
Although he wasn't strictly a schemer, and this person, who was suspected to be the Eclipse Society President, didn't know if she counted as a natural type, he truly felt that he was being restrained.
"The last song!" Night Run Girl said seriously, "I can feel that the Parasitic Kindred Abomination that was affecting me has retreated, and it's time to say goodbye to you."
"However, having met you, I inexplicably feel a sense of camaraderie, so I want to sing you one last song."
Shall I sing 'Friends'?"
In the silence, Lord Bing tightly gripped the 【Feng Chan Wolf Smoke】 in his hand, until his finger joints turned slightly white and made soft clicking sounds.
He only regretted not being able to end the person in front of him on the spot.
Unfortunately, acting now would only harm the innocent.
"There really isn't any more, it's all here. If I'm lying to you, I'm a dog!"
Lu Yibei ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and took out three of the thirty-six steamed buns she had hidden, placing them in front of Boss Hu.
Of course, the temptation was secondary; she was truly frightened by Boss Hu's angry appearance.
When Boss Hu lost control of his emotions and sternly asked her, "With so much, you didn't know to save some?"
Lu Yibei's eyes instantly burned intensely, and then behind Boss Hu, she saw countless illusions formed by the disturbance of Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Those were pairs of eyes, filled with intense killing intent, that had turned red.
Large numbers of eyes of animals that Lu Yibei couldn't name floated densely behind Boss Hu, stretching as far as the eye could see. One pair of huge eyes, similar to an insect's compound eyes, emitted a chilling light that made the stars and moon in the sky pale in comparison.
Being stared at by those eyes was incredibly oppressive, inexplicably making one feel like they had become the lowest-level character in the food chain.
Humble, truly too humble.
But...
Three, that was truly the bottom line!

Excluding the one or two she needed to give Chatterbox Girl as consultation fees and the one or two for Hua Sang as bait, there really weren't many left.
Although she didn't know what magical effects Human Fireworks had, since she had finally made it, she had to keep a little for herself, right?
If Boss Hu wasn't a genuine Calamity level, Lu Yibei really couldn't defeat him. If Boss Hu hadn't promised her that she could indefinitely freeload at the Liao Zhai Tavern in the future, Lu Yibei actually wouldn't want to take out even one.
"That's it?" Boss Hu squinted at Lu Yibei and asked with a gloomy face, "You wouldn't think you can fool me with these, would you?"
"Let me tell you, I've also made Human Fireworks before, and I know for sure that you still have some in your hand!"
Just these three steamed buns aren't enough to exchange for the entire Liao Zhai Tavern.
Yes, making Lu Yibei Boss Lu wouldn't allow her to freeload forever, would it?
It also wouldn't exchange for his vow to help Lu Yibei once.
Of course, the most important thing was that this was completely insufficient for him to get rid of the Spell that prevented him from leaving the Liao Zhai Tavern for long periods.
Although he hadn't yet waited for the person he had been waiting for for thousands of years and wasn't particularly eager to sell the Liao Zhai Tavern, Lu Yibei was being too perfunctory.
Thinking back then, when he brewed Human Fireworks, it was a whole jar, fifteen kilograms of high-quality grain wine.
Seeing that Lu Yibei was slow to speak, Boss Hu pouted and decided to continue negotiating with her in a friendly manner.
"Or are you saying that you don't care if the Huacheng Monster King is a double agent for the Night Watch, and that the Psychic and urban legend from all over the world know about it?"
That's it? You want to threaten me with this? Don't you know I have someone above me? Lu Yibei thought disdainfully, silently taking out a steamed bun from the God Kingdom Prototype.
The bottom line, after all, depends on the situation!
Her sneaky, fierce appearance was like a small animal protecting its food.
Although Inspector Xing Yuan and Zhang Huainan were backing her up, if her identity were exposed, it would more or less attract some unnecessary trouble.
"Oh, and there's Gu Qianqian's matter! That Miss came to our Liao Zhai Tavern to eat and almost stayed to work because she couldn't afford the meal..."
Boss Hu seemed dissatisfied and continued to say gloomily.
"And at that time, it seems another Gu Qianqian was wreaking havoc in Taoyuan. This doesn't quite match up, does it?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
This secret really hit a sore spot for her.
If Gu Kuku hadn't taken the blame for her, the endless revenge, even if it didn't kill her, would annoy her to death.
Paying for peace, what's one more?
"Actually, I won't hide it from you, as the owner of the Liao Zhai Tavern, my information is quite well-informed," Boss Hu said with a smile, looking at the extra steamed bun.
"I also have some news about Spiritual Energy items from Da Chunyang Palace that have been circulating in the black market recently. Do you want to hear about it?"
Lu Yibei, "... Are you a tavern owner or the leader of an intelligence agency? How do you know everything?"
So, she silently took out another steamed bun and handed it over, her slender fingertips wanting to dig into the bun.
Her bottom line, in the end, doubled.
"Enough!" Boss Hu looked at the six steamed buns in front of him and roared in displeasure, "Since you have no sincerity at all, I think I might as well capture you first. If you can't hand over the Human Fireworks, I won't let you go!"
"You're the one who's had enough, don't be so greedy!"
Lu Yibei finally couldn't help but shout out.
Although her bottom line was flexible, it wasn't something to be manipulated like this.
"Heh, I'm greedy?" Boss Hu laughed in anger, pointing at the steamed buns in front of him and saying, "I promised you so many benefits, but you keep trying to fool me with these scraps. Who is more excessive?"
The moment he saw these steamed buns, he knew that they, like the mayflies floating around 【Floating Life is Like a Strange Tale】, which were the lees left over from his brewing, were just scraps from cooking Human Fireworks.
This was like a Taobao seller who promised to compensate ten times for fakes, but then sent eleven items at once when shipping.
If it's not the genuine product, what's the use of having more?
"Wait, wait!" After being stunned for a few seconds, Lu Yibei finally realized why Boss Hu was angry.
"You mean, these steamed buns aren't Human Fireworks, but scraps of Human Fireworks? But I clearly used these steamed buns to successfully attract the Parasitic Kind!"
Hmph!" Boss Hu snorted and said, "Although they are scraps, their effect is less than one-tenth, but they are enough to attract those ghosts."
"It's like the lees left after brewing wine. Although you can taste the wine, lees are lees, not wine!"
Lu Yibei looked at the steamed buns, then at Boss Hu, and said expressionlessly, "But I really only made these steamed buns!"
When she heard Boss Hu say that these steamed buns were just scraps of Human Fireworks, she was completely shocked.
After working for most of the day, she only ended up with a pile of scraps?
Although the crisis of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination was successfully resolved,
Where is my big Human Fireworks? Lu Yibei thought.
She now felt like she had spent a lot of effort to defeat a boss and dropped top-tier equipment, only for it to be snatched away by an unknown player passing by.
"As things stand, I'm not afraid to tell you that the greatest use of this Human Fireworks is to reverse decay and degradation, which is to purify all negative effects caused by Spiritual Energy."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat.
According to Boss Hu, did that mean that as long as there was a sufficient supply of Human Fireworks, she could devour the cores of urban legend indefinitely, or advance her Spirit Mark without considering the consequences?
"If you think I'm deceiving you, or trying to play dumb and fool me, we can always find a decayed and degraded urban legend to try it out and see if these scraps work. Then you'll have nothing to say."
"As the saying goes, the taste of Human Fireworks is the most comforting to the mortal heart. Even humans who have completely become urban legend, or urban legend that have decayed and degraded to the point of almost losing their consciousness, can be restored to their original state."
Of course, removing Spells is also completely fine, Boss Hu added in his heart.
"No, Boss Hu, I really didn't lie to you!" Lu Yibei said with serious eyes, "I really only made these steamed buns. If you don't believe me, we can sign an ally contract."
Once an ally contract is signed, one cannot do anything harmful to the ally.
Malicious deception is also considered harmful.
Hearing Lu Yibei say she was willing to sign an ally contract, Boss Hu finally believed her words a little, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Oh? Then tell me the process of your cooking in detail."
Why is this guy so persistent? Lu Yibei sighed silently and said, "The situation at the time was like this..."
"That's the whole process. If you still don't believe me, you can come with me to Happiness Community. The steamers for the steamed buns are all there. Oh, and there's surveillance footage!"
After Lu Yibei recounted the entire process of making these steamed buns in detail, Boss Hu's gaze swept over the steamed buns, his brows knitted together.
He suddenly suspected that Lu Yibei was like the person who had cooked only half a batch of Human Fireworks back then, only producing a defective product.
If that were the case, wouldn't he have been happy for nothing again?
When would the next person who could cook Human Fireworks appear? Boss Hu thought gloomily.
He couldn't wait much longer.
