Free Web NovelThe ceiling and floor of this space had a height difference of nearly twenty meters, a width of about fifty meters, and a depth of over a thousand meters. It's unknown whether the foundation of the Torch Building wasn't dug deep enough, failing to discover this space, or if Zhang Shuisheng intentionally preserved it through his secret operations.
On the dome, several high-wattage lamps emitted light, and on the thick concrete walls on both sides, solidified Spells, which isolated Spiritual Energy fluctuations and sound, were arranged in an orderly manner.
Stepping out of the elevator, one was greeted by a high platform. Below the platform, a main road extended forward, with black SUVs parked on both sides. In the open space in front of each vehicle stood three to five people dressed in black formal wear, holding various Spiritual Energy items.
Although wearing a professional suit consisting of a small suit jacket and a knee-length skirt was acceptable for Ju Meng, she initially resisted when Lu Yibei asked her to wear it.
This outfit was not only uncomfortable but also carried a strange sense of shame.
However, when she followed Zhang Sheng into the huge underground space, which was converted from an air-raid shelter, and saw that her "new colleagues" were all dressed similarly, she found it barely acceptable.
Everyone was dressed in the same style; even if she were told to wear a bikini, she wouldn't care.
Moreover, upon seeing the Spiritual Energy items in the hands of those "new colleagues," her attention had already shifted to selecting Spiritual Energy items.
Although she didn't know what kind of trouble their so-called important operation would cause, Lu Yibei had already prepared to seize Spiritual Energy items amidst the chaos later...
It's a rare visit, and since everyone is so fated, how can she not get some benefits?
Zhang Sheng led Lu Yibei and Ju Meng to the front of the high platform and stopped, raising his hand and saying, "Hurry up and go. The Big Boss is coming soon. Before that, you'd best quietly stay where you should be."
After speaking, he ignored the two of them, turned around, and walked onto the high platform with his head held high and chest out.
Watching Zhang Sheng's departing back, Ju Meng rolled her eyes and subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to give Zhang Sheng the middle finger. Just then, Lu Yibei grabbed her wrist, stopping her excessive action.
"Don't mess around. Our current identities are their subordinates. As subordinates, we must act like subordinates."
Ju Meng glanced at Lu Yibei out of the corner of her eye and snorted, "Hmph, he's lucky."
Before coming to the Torch Building, both of them had carefully watched the relevant video materials that Void had prepared for them on their phones.
Recalling the appearances of "Manager Sha" and his colleagues who had appeared in the video materials, it didn't take them much effort to find their designated positions near the middle of the main road.
It must be said that Manager Sha, who was tall, thin, and slightly hunched, was indeed as indifferent to his subordinates as the Void video material stated.
When Lu Yibei and Ju Meng, these two unfamiliar faces, appeared, he only glanced at them briefly before retracting his gaze and continuing to fiddle with the small gadget in his hand, not even bothering to ask them a single question.
What's there to ask about cannon fodder?
After tonight, if they are lucky enough to survive, there's a high probability they will be locked up in Sanxia Mental Hospital by the Night Watch until they are confirmed harmless after a long period of observation and review, only then regaining their freedom.
Upon arriving at what Zhang Sheng called "the place where they should be," the two, like all the black-clad individuals present, fell into a long wait.
Waiting for Zhang Shuisheng's arrival.
"You dog, I'm so bored..." Ju Meng muttered in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Lu Yibei glanced at Ju Meng out of the corner of her eye and responded softly, "Bear with it, it'll pass if you bear with it."
Ju Meng frowned and asked, "Why do you seem so adapted to this kind of occasion?"
"If you've gone through nine years of compulsory education, plus three years of high school, you'd adapt too," Lu Yibei pouted.
Flag-raising ceremony, ever heard of it?

Meanwhile, Nine Street.
After parting ways with Lu Yibei, Dorees wandered around Guanyin Bridge Pedestrian Street for a while, tasting many delicacies she couldn't even imagine, let alone seen, along the way. By the time her stomach started to ache slightly from being full and she was ready to head back, it was already evening.
As the streetlights began to illuminate, the prosperity and hustle of Nine Street were already evident. Men and women began to gather on the streets, like nocturnal animals, waiting for night to fall to begin their "hunt" for the evening.
Most were hunting for romance, kissing others' mouths, and a very small portion were hunting for lives, devouring others' flesh and blood...
Arriving at the entrance of CHARMCLUB, Dorees frowned at the "Closed Today" sign hanging at the door.
Why would they suddenly close?
How much money would they lose by closing for one night!
As a poor girl from a small place, she was particularly concerned about losing money.
Just as she was pondering, a crisp sound of high heels clacking against the ground came from behind her. Following the sound, she saw several women with beautiful faces and enchanting figures, dressed in what appeared to be nightclub attire, walking towards her.
From a distance, Dorees smelled the aura of a Witch Seed emanating from one of the women. fгeewebnovёl.com
She knew these women; Zhang Yu had mentioned them to her, saying they were atmosphere members of CHARMCLUB and were indispensable for selling so much alcohol every night.
She was very familiar with this routine; in her understanding, the Rabbit Girl dealers at Dream Come True Entertainment City did similar things.
Seeing the women approaching, Dorees slightly turned sideways, stepping aside, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
She disliked Witch Breed Strange Tales; she always felt they relied on their looks to make a living and lacked backbone.
Although her Teacher was also a Witch Breed Strange Tales, there was a difference between Witch Seeds and Witch Seeds.
Just like perfume, isn't there a difference between refreshing and cloyingly pungent?
Who would dare say the Teacher, who dared to face the Big Boss's fierce might, lacked backbone? Dorees thought.
The women passed by Dorees, seemingly ignoring her, and also ignored the sign at the entrance of CHARMCLUB. They pushed open the unlocked door, lifted the soundproof curtain, and walked straight in.
Seeing this, Dorees was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion on her face.
Strange, didn't it say they were closed tonight?
Why are these Rabbit... atmosphere members still going in?
Dorees thought, and followed the women into CHARMCLUB, where she saw a scene that surprised her.
Dreamy lighting, men and women gathered on the dance floor, the scent of alcohol lingering in the air... Everything she saw was no different from her first visit, completely unlike a place that was closed for business.
"Oh? You're back? You've come at just the right time. Tonight might be an important lesson for your internship."
Zhang Yu's voice rang out. Dorees turned around, her gaze lingering on him for a few seconds, then she turned back to look at the direction of the door, "I saw the sign at the door..."
"Oh, that?" Zhang Yu smiled, "We are indeed not open to the public tonight. What you see now are all members of my Eclipse Society. They are gathered here because of tonight's important operation."
"Important operation?" Dorees tilted her head, "I didn't hear Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix) mention any important operation before?"
If I had known earlier, I would have told Teacher just now... Dorees added in her mind.
"Well..." Zhang Yu explained with a wry smile, "This important operation is an unexpected event. Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix) probably didn't expect such a thing to happen during your internship, which is why he didn't tell you in advance, right?"
"So..." Dorees frowned, "What exactly is this important operation about?"
"It's all my Big Uncle's doing." Zhang Yu sighed, "Alas! You participated in the previous negotiation, so you should be clear about the situation back then, right?"
Dorees nodded.
Of course she knew; in a way, she had personally put an end to that negotiation.
"After the negotiation broke down, my Big Uncle still insisted on cooperating with the x god..." Zhang Yu continued, "Now, a very important person to the x god has fallen into the hands of the Night Watch and is locked up in Sanxia Mental Hospital. My Big Uncle tonight..."
"He's going to snatch someone?" Dorees widened her eyes.
"Exactly." Zhang Yu confirmed Dorees's guess, "So, to avoid escalating the conflict between our Eclipse Society and the Night Watch in Mountain City, we have to stop him."
As he spoke, he turned around, looked at the men and women on the dance floor, and curled his lips.
"How about it, Miss Hatuoer, are you interested in leading a small team to participate in the operation?"
Dorees, "..."
----
"Exactly! That old pervert! You don't know, last time he even groped my butt when no one was around."
"Really? That's terrible! I thought he just had weird eyes, I didn't expect him to actually get handsy?"
"..."
Watching Lu Yibei get along so well with a "new colleague" she'd only known for less than ten minutes, Ju Meng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Groping her butt...
How could she say such a thing without batting an eyelid?
Just as Ju Meng was silently complaining, Lu Yibei ended her chat with the "new colleague" and returned to her side.
"Hmm, this Jennifer and Sandy are quite interesting."
Ju Meng, "..."
"Do you want me to introduce you to them?"
Ju Meng's face darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "You dog, who wants to meet them!"
"Don't be angry!" Lu Yibei said indifferently, "Aren't I just trying to get close to them?"
It is well known that complaining about the boss together behind their back is one of the fastest ways to build rapport, and the same applies to Teachers, relatives, etc.
Although doing so carries the risk of being reported, Lu Yibei didn't care.
"You don't know, just now, I got a lot of useful information..."
"Like what?" Ju Meng raised an eyebrow.
"For example, that Zhang Shuisheng guy is not only cooperating with the x god but also seems to be entangled with the Miracle Order," Lu Yibei said. "And for example, tonight's operation..."
Before she could finish her sentence, an old, hoarse voice came from the direction of the high platform.
"Everyone, thank you for gathering here tonight. Time is short, so let's begin discussing the details of tonight's operation targeting Sanxia Mental Hospital..."
"That's it then," Lu Yibei shrugged, adding, "Sanxia Mental Hospital is the Night Watch's territory."
Upon hearing this, Ju Meng immediately became excited, her eyes lighting up. "Good heavens! Is it that thrilling?"
"It's that thrilling!" Lu Yibei nodded. "Tonight, there's a good show to watch..."
