Free Web Novel"What? The main body of X Heavenly God has descended upon Mountain City? Why didn't you inform us of such important intelligence earlier?"
Near the long-closed fire escape of CHARMCLUB, the eerie green light from the stairwell safety exit sign illuminated Lin Kele's grave face.
As her words fell, realizing that she had shouted out due to her excitement, she quickly covered her small mouth. She vigilantly glanced left and right, and only after confirming there was no one else nearby did she secretly sigh in relief.
Standing opposite Lin Kele was a young man with a leopard print shirt, golden dyed hair, and a somewhat effeminate appearance.
He was the informant of the Night Watch of Shancheng, embedded in this Eclipse Society stronghold.
Listening to Lin Kele's questioning, the young Mr. Informant showed a helpless, bitter smile and explained, "I wanted to inform you earlier! But, I hadn't confirmed the authenticity of the news yet, so how could I just speak carelessly?"
"Miss Kele, you know, my status here is very low, even if I can get core secrets, there will be a certain delay."
Lin Kele opened her mouth, repeatedly wanting to speak but stopping, and then silently sighed, "Alright, I'll believe you for now!"
"Continue? Besides the descent of X Heavenly God's main body, you should have grasped other intelligence, right?"
"Also, recently, people have frequently gone missing in Mountain City and its surroundings, which is actually instigated by the Eclipse Society."
"We already know that!" Lin Kele interrupted, "Last night, Grandma, I just caught an Eclipse Society member who was extracting Genesis Spirits from human bodies."
"So, anything else?"
When asked by Lin Kele, Mr. Informant quickly replied, "Yes, that Zhang Shuisheng guy met secretly with a fanatical believer of a certain X Heavenly God once. I don't know what they talked about. I was on duty at the door at the time. When they finished talking, Zhang Shuisheng's face was very grim when he left the meeting room."
Zhang Shuisheng is Zhang Yi's father and the founder of Shancheng Sunrise Biotechnology, and likely the mastermind behind Wang Han's sudden death at the train station.
Lin Kele's curiosity was piqued, "You mean, they fell out?"
She had thought that the Eclipse Society and X Heavenly God had a cooperative relationship, but listening to the informant, it seemed their cooperation was not solid.
"They might have fallen out," the informant corrected, "After all, those big shots are very good at acting..."
Another piece of not very useful intelligence. Lin Kele was getting impatient, she pouted and pressed, "Anything else?"
"Also... also..." The informant's eyebrows furrowed into a knot, and he kept scratching the back of his head, clearly racking his brain to recall useful information.
"Oh right! That unknown X Heavenly God fanatic, somehow bought the Luoshuidong Coal Mine, the one that had deaths a few years ago and was temporarily shut down."
Just halfway through listening, Lin Kele's eyes lit up, and she eagerly pressed, "What did they buy it for?"
She felt she had found the key to breaking the case.
Perhaps this was her intuition guiding her to this nightclub tonight!
Coal mines have always been severely polluting. During coal mining and crude processing, a large amount of harmful substances are emitted, including sulfides and inhalable dust, which are the main components of smog.
A fanatic of X Heavenly God buying a coal mine whose emissions are the main components of smog certainly has no good intentions!
"Reclamation and reforestation," the informant said weakly.
"Ah?"
Lin Kele suddenly felt her brain wasn't working anymore.
"A fanatical believer of X Heavenly God buys a coal mine that can help his master enhance his Power, not to cause a big sensation, but to engage in environmental protection?"
"This is like someone caught with a house full of money from corruption and bribery, but he says he didn't dare to spend a single penny. Do you believe it?"
"Although," the informant stammered for a while, then whispered, "personally, I don't believe it, but X Heavenly God's followers have not done this for the first time."
"As early as the year before last, Glorious Power, which is another X Heavenly God's follower, bought a thermal power plant and reformed it into a microbial power plant. Last year, another X Heavenly God's follower shut down his oil refinery without warning. Oh, I heard there's also tree planting and sand control in the Northwest."
"Stop, stop!" Lin Kele felt it was getting more and more absurd, and couldn't help but interrupt, "You mean, X Heavenly God is going to turn over a new leaf, turning from a pollution urban legend into an environmental urban legend?"
The contrast was too great, and it wasn't cute at all!
Naively believing that X Heavenly God and his followers would genuinely engage in environmental protection would certainly lead to a terrible end.
Being whipped like a top...
"How would I know that? My identity only allows me to access this level of information." The informant said, pulled out his phone, looked at the time, and his expression changed slightly, "Oh no, I've delayed too long. If I don't go back now, they'll get suspicious..."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Kele to speak, he hurriedly ran back into the nightclub.
Looking at the informant's departing back, Lin Kele let out a soft sigh. Seeing that the informant had no intention of stopping, she finally fell silent, then pouted her small mouth, and swept a resentful glance in the direction of the dance floor.
Why did she always feel that guy still had some important information he hadn't told her?
If Miss Wan were here, she would be able to tell if this kid was lying.
She wondered what she had seen. Lin Kele thought.
Three minutes ago, just as she and Jiang Hao entered CHARMCLUB and she was still searching for Mr. Informant, Jiang Hao suddenly walked away in a hurry, without leaving a word.
By the time she reacted, Jiang Li was just a disappearing back.
She originally wanted to chase after Jiang Li and call her, but at the crucial moment, her ghost-like intuition told her not to chase Jiang Li, as it would be beneficial to the case investigation.
As a loyal believer of the "Intuition God Cult," she chose to trust her intuition and approached Mr. Informant alone.
The result was not much gain. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Was my intuition wrong? freeωebnovēl.c૦m
It shouldn't be!
Could it be that intuition guided me here tonight, not to see the informant and get information from him? Lin Kele thought.
After five consecutive waves of suitors returned empty-handed, many who considered themselves "the most special one" still wanted to try to approach Lu Yibei.
However, upon seeing Lu Yibei and another girl moving to the music on the dance floor, they immediately understood that they had no chance.
At the same time, some people suddenly felt they had a chance, but soon, they also felt they had no chance.
The two in the dance floor gazed deeply at each other, as if immersed in their own small world. The surrounding noise gradually quieted, the dazzling lights softened, and a faint floral scent emerged in the alcohol-filled air.
Even the most unromantic person could see that at this moment, they only had each other in their eyes, their gentle gazes intertwining in a tender embrace.
If anyone were to interrupt their private moment at this time, they would either have a psychological problem or be a follower of some heretical cult!

After all, who among normal people doesn't like to see beautiful girls being intimate?
The music resonated, and under the hazy, dreamy lights, Jiang Ge's clear, cold eyes looked directly into Lu Yibei's, silently conveying a message.
【I remember that bomb rolled to the left. If you get closer, you should be able to locate it, right?】
She had witnessed the power of Lu Yibei's Alchemy Dirty Bomb more than once and knew very well what the consequences would be if that bomb accidentally exploded. If it wasn't dealt with quickly, it might cause Lu Yibei unnecessary trouble.
Understanding the message conveyed in Jiang Hao's eyes, Lu Yibei was slightly stunned.
She's not asking me why I'm here? Nor is she asking what I plan to do by taking out a bomb in a nightclub? Lu Yibei thought.
Jiang Li's reaction surprised her, but also warmed her heart a little.
It was heartwarming because it felt a bit like when she was a child and got into a fight with a classmate, and the Teacher called her parents to school. Her Old Dad, upon seeing her for the first time, didn't ask her why she fought with her classmate, but rather if she was hurt.
The subtext was just one sentence: "There must be a reason for you doing this, I don't want to ask, I only care if you're hurt."
It was also strange because she thought of her Old Dad.
Generally speaking, Jiang Hao's identity should be that of a girlfriend, right?
But what the hell was this suddenly strong "dad" vibe?
Lu Yibei secretly thought, until Jiang Li's hand on her shoulder tightened slightly, and only then did she remember to respond.
【Can locate it.】
Jiang Li: 【Mm, then lean to the left, move slowly, don't attract unnecessary attention.】
She took a step, moving little by little towards the direction where the Alchemy Dirty Bomb had rolled.
Lu Yibei frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Jiang Hao, hesitating for a long time, finally unable to resist, she conveyed a message to her with her eyes.
As if a child who had done something wrong, feeling guilty, she proactively admitted her mistake to her parent, hoping for lenient treatment.
【Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?】
Without almost any thought, Jiang Li immediately replied.
【If you want to tell me, you'll naturally say it. If I ask too much, you might find it annoying.】
Lu Yibei: 【Me? How could I? Is there any sound in this world ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) better than Jiang Hao's voice? If there is, then the listener's ears must be problematic. But speaking of which, why are you here?】
Jiang Li: 【Work.】
Lu Yibei: 【Oh, oh.】
Then.
Suddenly, the conversation came to a halt, as if all possible topics had been dragged into a quagmire by an invisible monster, vanishing without a trace.
Lu Yibei: "No, this is a rare opportunity, I must find something else to say!"
However, just as she was about to initiate another "encrypted call" with Jiang Ge, as if anticipating what Lu Yibei wanted to say, Jiang Li conveyed a message with her eyes one step ahead of her.
【I remember that girl at the train station today was the one you saved at the risk of your life in Taoyuan last time, right? Her name seems to be Ju Meng, third on the Night Watch's red wanted list?】
【If you want to talk about her, I advise you to think it through before speaking.】
You don't have to explain, but you can't lie.
Lu Yibei: 【Uh, you actually still remember that... she's here for tourism, we're just on the way, there's nothing weird... No, it's not that simple, actually, I'm monitoring... Yes, monitoring her. Strictly speaking, I'm also an excellent Night Watch agent, right? I certainly wouldn't feel at ease with that kind of heinous urban legend running around! So...】
Jiang Li: 【Alright, I understand. 【Heart emoji】】
Sending a glance to Lu Yibei, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips, like the first peach blossom blooming on a branch in early spring when ice and snow melt.
Lu Yibei was momentarily lost in thought.
She rarely saw Jiang Hao smile.
This feeling was suddenly right! But why did I always feel something was off? Forget it, as long as she's happy!
Lu Yibei: 【Oh, Leader, you being able to leave headquarters means your Spirit Mark has successfully advanced, right? Have you gained any new abilities?】
After conveying the message to Jiang Hao with her eyes, she immediately saw Jiang Hao squint her eyes, and a rare hint of slyness appeared on her face.
Jiang Hao: 【Yes!】
【For example, locking onto a target, for example, imposing punishment, and for example, distinguishing right from wrong and judging authenticity. 【Heart emoji】】
You don't have to explain, but you can't lie to me, unless I'm willing to be deceived.
Judging authenticity? Doesn't that mean... Lu Yibei's heart sank, her face suddenly turned pale, and she heard a death sentence in her ears as if hallucinating.
Seeing this, as if her scheme had succeeded, the smile on Jiang Li's face immediately deepened.
In fact, when she saw the usually eloquent Lu Yibei painstakingly weaving clumsy lies, trying to explain, and almost showing her expression on her face in anxiety, she no longer felt unhappy.
That showed Lu Yibei cared a lot.
Jiang Hao: 【So now, do you have anything else you want to say?】
Lu Yibei avoided Jiang Li's gaze, lowered her eyebrows, pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her head with determined eyes.
【Yes! After hearing about your new ability, I suddenly had a bold idea.】
Jiang Hao: 【Tell me?】
Lu Yibei: 【Then I'll say it!】
"The sentence I'm speaking is a lie," she whispered into Jiang Hao's ear.
Jiang Li
As Lu Yibei's words fell, she immediately felt her Spirit Mark become restless, as if it couldn't help but leave her body and rush out to hit someone, even faintly feeling a sense of losing control.
After suppressing the restlessness of her Spirit Mark, she looked at Lu Yibei again and secretly decided that it would be better not to use her Spirit Mark ability on Lu Yibei unnecessarily in the future.
After all, she couldn't be sure when Lu Yibei's mouth would blurt out something that even her Spirit Mark couldn't judge, or even had the risk of causing her Spirit Mark to lose control.
Just as Lu Yibei was about to make Jiang Ge lose control of her Spirit Mark, outside CHARMCLUB, on the bustling street, a girl wearing a faded hoodie with her hood pulled low drew frequent glances from passersby.
Mountain City is known as a furnace, and it's summer now, so isn't this Miss wearing too much really hot?
But the girl indeed didn't seem to feel the summer heat. While occasionally checking the address on the crumpled business card in her hand, she walked with her head down until she saw the CHARMCLUB entrance, which looked like a youthful, minimalist version of Dream Come True Entertainment City. Excitement gradually welled up in her eyes.
"Finally found it, it should be here. I should be able to learn a lot of new knowledge here, right?"
