I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

2:07 PM.

Lu Yibei stood alone in front of the small shop next to the Shancheng Military Hospital.

She stood there alone because she had agreed with Jiang Li to wait until Jiang Li finished investigating Tan Qiuming's patient support group before leaving, so that she could provide support if anything unexpected happened.

She had already witnessed the combat strength of the Night Watch agents in Mountain City through Lin Kele—they were surprisingly weak.

A dignified B Level Psychic, scared unconscious by an ordinary person, was only second in embarrassment to a certain Calamity urban legend chased three miles by a dog. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Was Ju Meng present when she was chased?

Wasn't that to accompany Smelly Girl?

How could she be afraid of dogs? If it weren't for accompanying Smelly Girl, she would have let Little White Dog out to fight with the noodle shop owner's big wolfdog.

Who doesn't... uh... have a dog!

And she was standing at the entrance of the small shop because her mouth hurt.

It wasn't from Jiang Li's biting, but from the spicy sauce at the small noodle shop.

Lu Yibei originally thought that after Lingtai Pure Karma armored, nothing in this world, except Qingji's sword and Zhang Huainan's lightning, could break her defense, until she ate the special spicy sauce at that small noodle shop during lunch.

Even after finishing lunch and arriving near the Shancheng Military Hospital to wait with Jiang Li for Lin Kele and the Night Watch agents to arrive, her lips were still burning, and most likely her butt would be burning tomorrow too.

However, with such an enticingly fragrant spicy sauce in front of her, if she refused, her heart would burn.

Now she understood why the best proctology hospital in the country was located in the Southwest region.

To be fair, if this time it wasn't the x god's Power that would cause respiratory tract tumors to be born in Mountain City, but a urban legend whose Power would cause digestive tract tumors...

Tsk, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lu Yibei thought secretly, then collected her thoughts, gazing into the distance towards Minhe Community, waiting for a moment, then began to analyze the information she had just obtained from Dorees.

Although she had heard news of Old Dad from Dorees, she was not in a hurry to investigate the specific information.

With the help of the 'after-effects' of absorbing Human Fireworks, she quickly emerged from her angry state, and after careful thought, felt that something was not quite right!

When Dorees described the negotiation scene, apart from some logical confusion, she almost verbatim repeated Zhang Yu and Zhang Shuisheng's original words.

And from the situation at the time, what Zhang Yu said, at first listen, seemed fine, but with a little scrutiny, a hint of unusualness could be detected. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Mentioning Li Gate was understandable, but as the Eclipse Society's prison, Li Gate certainly held more than one captive. Why specifically mention Unmyouki?

It was as if it was deliberately said for someone to hear.

And that person is very likely me!

Although my relationship with Dorees is very secretive, so secretive that I almost forgot about it myself, if it were that man, it wouldn't be impossible for him to know about our relationship.

After all, even an fated partner hidden in a remote corner like Hua Xieyu was found by that man.

If things are truly as I suspect, using Dorees to let me know that Old Dad is imprisoned in Li Gate is a blatant scheme!

If I rashly go to Li Gate, the result might be like, if your family is kidnapped and you hear the kidnapper's ransom call, you foolishly carry the money and run to the transaction location, the outcome is likely to be a double loss of person and property.

Moreover, this matter is not quite like an ordinary kidnapping case; if you directly 'call the police,' that man wants to tear up the ticket, and no one can stop him.

But what if you simply don't want that family member anymore, or if you kidnap his family before the kidnappers call for ransom?

Anyway, since everyone is a 'kidnapper,' what can't be discussed peacefully?

"What is a blatant scheme? It's like, 'Kid, don't leave after school!' If you can't ask the Teacher for help, the correct way to deal with it is 'If you don't leave, you don't leave!' Then, gather a few people, and before the person who made the threat meets up with the people he called, block him beforehand and snatch his phone.

Lu Yibei muttered softly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she frowned.

Damn it, how did I accidentally say that out loud?

If that man really intends to lure me to Li Gate, it's not impossible for him to be monitoring me nearby at ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) all times.

Wouldn't that be 'loudly conspiring'?

Lu Yibei thought, her gaze furtively scanning around. As her eyes swept over a figure beside her, her eyes felt a slight burning sensation, and her heart suddenly tightened, her face turning pale.

Standing beside her was a hunched man.

The man's face was pale, his spirit listless, and under his eyes, which seemed to have lost faith in life, hung thick dark circles, just like...

"Holy crap!"

You're a dog, aren't you? You just show up out of nowhere!

Looking at the man who had appeared beside her at some unknown time, Lu Yibei felt her hands turn cold and her body tremble in the middle of summer, as if she had been dragged into an ice cave.

Can't a person have a good time anymore?

After Zhou Tong left the Anti-Cancer Home, he originally intended to return directly to his ward. However, as he walked, thinking about Mr. Wu's abnormal actions and the possibility that there might be no more patient support group activities in the future, his mood became increasingly low.

And as he passed the small shop in front of the hospital's main entrance, he seemed to experience a hallucination, hearing a whisper in his ear, "Feeling so bad? Why not buy some wine? Drown your sorrows! Didn't you used to love drinking the most? Just this once, it's no big deal."

Yes, he used to love drinking, almost to the point of being a drunkard. As an office worker in the public relations department, when others socialized, they tried every means to drink as little as possible, but he was the only one who actively drank glass after glass.

It was precisely because of this bad habit that he was 'lucky' enough to be diagnosed with stage two stomach cancer just after turning thirty.

After discovering his illness, he forced himself to quit drinking and hadn't touched a drop of alcohol for almost over a year.

However, the whispers echoing in his ears, that voice, was like the occasional self-indulgent thoughts that arise in everyone's mind, similar to "Just one cigarette, it should be fine," "Just one meal, no problem," "Not staying up late every day, my body can handle it," etc., awakening the devil in Zhou Tong's heart and stirring the dormant alcohol craving, leading him inexplicably towards the small shop.

If he hadn't met that loud girl, he might have already chosen his wine and found a deserted place to pour himself a cup.

Zhou Tong sized up the girl in front of him and said in astonishment, "Miss, do we know each other?"

We shouldn't, right?

A pretty girl of this caliber, in the past, I wouldn't even have the courage to strike up a conversation.

It couldn't possibly be a plot where a childhood playmate suddenly appears in front of me, having grown into a beautiful woman, could it? The age doesn't match either! Zhou Tong thought.

"Trying to play dumb with me? I've already recognized you!" the girl said coldly, expressionlessly.

Zhou Tong, "???"

What the heck? What's going on? Is she trying to accuse me of something baseless and then give me a 'twenty years of skill' iron fist?

Lu Yibei stared at the man in front of her, and gradually, she could read words on his face.

On that pale face, every pore screamed "confused."

Did I really mistake him?

Uh, come to think of it, it was my eyes that were burning just now, not the red mark of the pirated black sun totem on my back. Damn it, it's all that damn office worker's fault for giving me psychological problems!

However, burning eyes mean danger is approaching, and as Spiritual Energy fluctuations increase and strength grows, my eyes haven't burned for a long time. Now that they're suddenly burning, doesn't it mean this man is also problematic?

Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's eyes darted around, subtly sizing up the man in front of her, trying to find something useful on him to resolve the awkward situation.

Thus, her gaze fell on the inpatient identification wristband on the man's wrist.

Zhou... leaving the ward at this time...!

"You're Zhou Tong, right? I saw you last time when I accompanied my friend to an event at the Anti-Cancer Home!"

"Ah?" Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, scratching the back of his head and chuckling dryly, "Ha, haha, so it's you! I thought you were some inexplicable person!"

"Does your friend also frequently attend activities at the Anti-Cancer Home? What's her name? Maybe I know her well!"

"Big brother, do you really have to be so serious?" Lu Yibei muttered to herself, then waved her hand and said, "Her name is Gu Qianqian. She doesn't go often, only once. She's already transferred hospitals."

"But you might also remember her. She's short, has big eyes, a melon-seed face, and is very pretty."

Facts proved that human memory is easily deceived, and most people are also quite concerned about 'face.' Zhou Tong nodded without much thought, saying, "I remember, I remember, Gu Qianqian!"

Although he indeed didn't remember anyone named Gu Qianqian participating in an event, since her friend remembered him, how could he say he didn't remember others?

"Speaking of which, Gu Qianqian has already transferred hospitals, why are you here today..."

"Oh! I'm here today to help her with some miscellaneous procedures at the hospital, and by the way..." Lu Yibei wove a lie without thinking, and as she spoke, she deliberately glanced towards Minhe Community a few times, then lowered her voice.

"And by the way, to visit Mr. Wu. Since I saw him last time, I... oh, you know, I'm too embarrassed to say!"

Zhou Tong stared blankly at Lu Yibei for a few seconds, then understood, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Oh~! I understand, I understand!"

"Hmph! It's not what you think at all. I just, I just think Mr. Wu is very kind and what he does is very meaningful, so I was thinking if I could... uh, help him."

"Don't be embarrassed. It's perfectly normal for an excellent man like Mr. Wu, who is still single, to be liked."

"To be honest, after participating in so many activities, even I'm a little moved. If I were a woman, I probably would have already launched an offensive to pursue Mr. Wu."

Hmm? Listening to this, he seems to be very familiar with Tan Qiuming? Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "So, you're very familiar with Mr. Wu? Then, can you tell me about him?"

"Of course!" Zhou Tong readily agreed.

To be honest, seeing Mr. Wu remain single because of them, the patients, they felt quite bad.

They had wanted to introduce Mr. Wu to someone, but either the girls, after hearing about him, worried about being burdened, or the people making introductions felt that the girls they knew weren't worthy of Mr. Wu, so it all came to nothing in the end.

And this Miss in front of him...

Putting everything else aside, just her looks alone were worthy of Mr. Wu. The two of them standing together would simply be an idol drama promotional poster!

So, Zhou Tong told Lu Yibei everything he knew about Mr. Wu, holding nothing back.

Gradually, an image of a handsome, kind-hearted, selfless, and highly knowledgeable man took shape in her mind.

After listening, Lu Yibei frowned.

Something's not right! Are you sure you're talking about Tan Qiuming, and not some saintly, handsome guy?

What about selling paintings? What about the crucial step of selling paintings to treat illnesses? How did he actually start connecting people with famous doctors and pharmaceutical companies?

If this is the real Tan Qiuming? Then what did Grandpa He mean by'swindling and deceitful, insidious and cunning'? An idiom? Lu Yibei thought.

The information provided by Zhou Tong hardly matched Grandpa He's information. The Mr. Wu he described, apart from being overly knowledgeable, had no suspicious points.

He absorbed the Great Serpent God's knowledge and devoured many urban legend' core entities, yet he still couldn't become a "six-sided warrior." How could he?

It's not jealousy, he's just abnormal. Maybe it's knowledge instilled in him by some urban legend!

After a brief thought, Lu Yibei pressed on, "By the way, are you going to an event right now? Can I go with you..."

"Oh, don't even mention it!" Before Lu Yibei could finish speaking, she heard Zhou Tong let out a long sigh, "Today's event has been canceled, and I don't know if there will be any more activities in the future. I just came from there, and Mr. Wu even asked me to pass on a message to everyone!"

"Canceled? Why?" Lu Yibei asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Wu said that an important guest had a temporary visit today, and he needed to prepare in advance," Zhou Tong explained. "As for why the activities are suspended, I don't know. From Mr. Wu's tone, it seems he's run into some trouble."

"Damn it, you don't know how worried I was seeing Mr. Wu's troubled expression. I wish I could help!"

An important guest is visiting temporarily.

Prepare in advance.

Ran into trouble, activities suspended.

Various pieces of information intertwined in Lu Yibei's mind. A few seconds later, as if realizing something, she abruptly looked towards Minhe Community, her expression changing, and she murmured aloud.

"Oh no! He knew we were coming!"

"Boom—!"

No sooner had her voice fallen than an explosion suddenly rang out, followed by fire mixed with thick smoke, rising from within Minhe Community.

An unsettling Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanated, tainting the surrounding air with a faint, almost imperceptible scent of decaying flesh.
