Free Web NovelZhang Shuisheng's speech was lengthy and boring. In summary, he just repeated those encouraging and beneficial words over and over, making people drowsy.
However, Lu Yibei listened very attentively, as if the speech, full of the flavor of a flag-raising ceremony, had awakened memories almost etched into her genes, and she unconsciously remained quiet.
This was very abnormal!
Back then, the first time she attended a flag-raising ceremony in high school, she laughed out loud several times because she didn't obey the discipline on site, interrupting the speech of the new student representative on the rostrum. That person then pointed at her and said, "That student, if you have the guts, come up and speak!"
So, Lu Yibei gracefully went up to the stage, read the draft a few times, and spoke a tiny bit better than the new student representative, but then she received a warning disciplinary action.
Those were the days of youth! I won't do such things anymore, after all, with a poker face, one can't smile, Lu Yibei sighed in her heart.
However, speaking of which, when I was in school, I was barely a popular figure. Leaving aside my own reasons, why didn't I develop a sweet childhood romance?
Since Old Dad arranged so many marriages, he could have arranged one for me at school.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei gently shook her head. She suddenly realized that if she had really dated a girl in high school, that girl would most likely have gone on the graduation trip with her.
Wouldn't that have harmed her?
Even her own Old Dad didn't survive that car accident, how could that girl have escaped the disaster?
Recalling her thoughts, Lu Yibei looked at the Old man on the high platform who was still talking incessantly, and concentrated.
It wasn't until Zhang Shuisheng finished his speech and his figure disappeared from the high platform that she slowly exhaled a turbid breath, murmuring, "Are we new colleagues really just cannon fodder?"
Vaguely hearing Lu Yibei's self-talk, Ju Meng slightly turned her head and nodded, "Hmm, looks like it."
Although she has been a Calamity level urban legend since she gained clear consciousness, and can overcome most things with force, not being accustomed to using schemes, she has a very high standard for judging the strength of a Psychic or urban legend.
Therefore, even without too careful observation, she could tell that among the Psychic and a few urban legend gathered in this huge air-raid shelter, the highest Spiritual Energy fluctuation level was only B-, which would only be considered bottom-tier within the Eclipse Society.
To send such a force to directly attack an important stronghold of the Night Watch in Mountain City, what is it if not cannon fodder?
Even if not all Night Watch members in Mountain City are good at fighting,
Even if a battle really breaks out, the Night Watch would be constrained by the surrounding residents,
Then the chances of this group breaking through the solidified Spell around Sanxia Mental Hospital, which is integrated with the Yangtze River, the numerous Special Operations Team members, and the Night Watch members stationed at Sanxia Mental Hospital, and other defensive fortifications, entering the mental hospital, and successfully taking away the target are very low.
Moreover, from the action plan set by Zhang Shuisheng just now, the more than three hundred Psychic and urban legend present would have to act separately. Only about half would go to Sanxia Mental Hospital, and the rest would have other arrangements.
"It's just a feint!" Ju Meng concluded, "He must have arranged for other high-level Psychic or urban legend to sneak into that mental hospital amidst the chaos."
After all, it's just about snatching someone. Silently sneaking into the mental hospital and taking the person away would be considered a success.
And to achieve this, only a few high-level Psychic or urban legend are actually needed.
The low-level Psychic and urban legend present are merely a motley crew existing to create chaos and increase the success rate.
However, under certain circumstances, getting this group to turn against them might also have some effect?
Many people are not afraid of death, but willing to be cannon fodder for others and die meaningless deaths, unless they are mentally ill. Lu Yibei thought.
After listening to Zhang Shuisheng's speech, she suddenly had a bold and dark idea.
Since she already planned to take the Spiritual Energy items carried by these "new colleagues" into her pocket, if possible, why not take them, along with their Spiritual Energy items, into her pocket?
As the Calamity Scare Unaccountable Company grew, Du Sixian had hinted several times that manpower was tight.
Even if they carried the black sun totem, it might be inappropriate to go directly to Hua City, but what if they changed their approach?
Eclipse Society members can be from the Elder Council faction, or the Chairman faction, so why can't they be from the Lan Yi Party?
That's right! If they don't agree, capture them and lock them up in the God Kingdom Prototype, slowly torture them, reform their thinking, analyze pros and cons, and win over their hearts until they agree.
Lu Yibei was secretly sketching the future blueprint of the "Lan Yi Party" in her mind when Ju Meng's small movement suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"But I don't understand why he would let his own son lead the team." Ju Meng poked Lu Yibei with her elbow, frowning, "Isn't he afraid of getting his own son involved?"
"What we can think of, others may not be able to think of. If he doesn't do this, how can he gain trust?" Lu Yibei pouted, "Besides, this son may not be that important to him."
After observing just now, Lu Yibei found that Zhang Shuisheng, as Dorees said, was already critically ill. Although he tried his best to appear healthy through his attire, carefully crafted makeup, and lengthy speeches, he still couldn't hide the dying aura on him.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Shuisheng, even at the cost of defying the Elder Council's wishes, even if it meant dealing with a tiger, cooperating with the Haze God, spared no effort to live, and probably wouldn't care about sacrificing another son.
Anyway, as long as he's alive, he can have more sons!
Not every father will selflessly dedicate himself to his children.
Lu Yibei thought, raising an eyebrow at Ju Meng, "And, isn't there the Miracle Order?"
"Didn't I just say? I heard that old man also had contact with the Miracle Order. Maybe with the help of the Miracle Order, this group of low-level Psychic and urban legend can really create a miracle of overcoming the strong with the weak?"
"Heh!" Ju Meng rolled her eyes and sneered.
As a deity who "refutes fate with money," her disapproval of the Miracle Order's doctrine was as firm as her disbelief in the nonsense of "single draw for a miracle."
"I can't control that much, Sister. I just want to take advantage of the chaos and beat that guy up." Ju Meng said, swinging her fist forcefully in the air.
As is well known, Ju Meng is a deity who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grievances, and takes swift revenge.
Lu Yibei glanced at Ju Meng, "I have no objection. If you think just beating him up isn't enough, I can capture him into the God Kingdom Prototype and release him whenever you want to beat him."
"Uh, wouldn't that be a bit too much?
"Too much?" Lu Yibei pouted indifferently, "I think..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the "new colleague" beside her, and she saw a face so terrified it was almost distorted.

A twisted face.
Lu Yibei and Ju Meng were very close, and their voices were very low. Although they didn't deliberately use a Spell to prevent eavesdropping because they felt it didn't matter if their identities were exposed, generally speaking, it was still difficult for others to hear the content of their conversation.
In fact, they were already giving Zhang Shuisheng a lot of face by not openly conspiring.
However, there's an exception to everything. The girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old standing beside them at this moment was that exception.
Although she only heard some fragmented sentences, the mockery of Zhang Shuisheng, and even the Elder Council faction of the Mountain City Eclipse Society, revealed in their words, made her surprised and uncertain.
That way of speaking, either they are big shots or greenhorns.
It seems two dangerous characters have infiltrated our team? The girl thought.
Noticing the girl's gaze and realizing that the girl might have heard her conversation with Ju Meng, Lu Yibei expressionlessly turned to Ju Meng and gave her a meaningful look.
Immediately after, the two of them moved closer to the girl, one on each side, placing their hands on her shoulders. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Although the Void provided very detailed information about the mid-to-high-level members of the Sunrise Biotechnology Company in the video data, Lu Yibei found that there was almost no information about the lower-level members in those materials, which was definitely a major oversight!
How can you blend in with the masses if you don't understand them?
The power of the masses is one of the greatest powers in this world. How can you cause trouble if you don't blend in with the masses?
Now, someone has delivered herself to their doorstep, so they can only reluctantly torment the girl.
"Little cutie, you heard everything just now, didn't you?"
The girl trembled, her head shaking like a rattle drum.
"If you didn't hear, why are you so flustered? Besides, I didn't say what you heard!"
Upon hearing this, the girl's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to call for help, or perhaps to explain. Just then, Ju Meng's chilling voice drifted into her ears.
"Don't try to call for help. With me here, even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one else will hear it."
"That's right!" Lu Yibei nodded, adding, "But don't worry, we won't hurt you, if you behave yourself from now on..."
Girl, "Am I being kidnapped?"
Leaving the huge air-raid shelter, walking through a side door next to the high platform, and passing through a long tunnel, they arrived at an antique reception room.
Zhang Shuisheng pushed open the door of the reception room, and his gaze naturally swept forward, seeing the man sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.
He was a slightly plump middle-aged man with somewhat exotic features, wearing a moon-white robe and a light gold mask that covered his face from his jaw to below his eyes.
He sat on a futon, eyes closed, hands carefully holding something, raised high, while muttering incantations.
All straightness is Void, all truth will bend, every belief is a miracle.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuisheng waited silently at the side. When the man stopped chanting the strange song and opened his eyes to look at him, he stepped forward, forced a smile, and asked, "Mr. /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Chehado, has the ceremony been successful?"
The man glanced at Zhang Shuisheng, then looked at the blooming silver miracle flower in his hand, which he had fully cultivated and which only Miracle Order followers could see, and nodded.
He did not want, or disdained, to have unnecessary verbal communication with Zhang Shuisheng.
Someone like him, terminally ill yet unwilling to believe that his body could miraculously overcome the disease, if it weren't for the Holy Child's command, Chehado would absolutely not have traveled all this way to help him cultivate the miracle flower and bless those fools outside.
"Great, thank you, Mr.." Zhang Shuisheng smiled, "The things we discussed earlier will be delivered to your hand shortly."
Just as Lu Yibei and Ju Meng had guessed, the group of low-to-mid-level Psychic and urban legend outside were indeed just cannon fodder for a feint.
However, to be safe, Zhang Shuisheng still chose to pay a considerable price to cooperate with the Miracle Order, asking them to perform a miracle blessing on that group of cannon fodder.
In case the guys who infiltrated Sanxia Mental Hospital to snatch people failed, but this group of cannon fodder miraculously attacked the inside of Sanxia Mental Hospital and brought the person out, it would also be a happy ending for everyone.
"Hmm." Chehado responded coldly, nodding again, then looked devoutly at the miracle flower in his hand, and his pupils contracted violently.
He saw that the miracle flower, which he had cultivated by almost exhausting his Spiritual Energy, withered completely less than ten seconds after blessing those outside. Immediately after, the silver glimmering, glass-like petals turned pitch black at a visible speed.
The sweet scent of the miracle flower pervading the reception room instantly turned into the putrid stench of bad luck, making one nauseous.
After a few seconds of stunned, Chehado looked up at Zhang Shuisheng, narrowing his eyes.
Even the miracle flower had no effect?
There's a jinx in this room, I'm not saying who.
It seems that unless the Holy Child personally comes and performs a miracle, cultivating a golden miracle flower, this Old man is probably doomed. The miracle flower said... Chehado thought, tidying the vintage-style Miracle Order robe he was wearing.
"Mr. Zhang, our Holy Child urgently needs those things you promised. Please send them to my residence quickly, preferably within three hours. After that, I will leave Mountain City and deliver the items to the Holy Child to report back."
He rarely said so many words to Zhang Shuisheng.
In his opinion, this was partly to ensure the reward was received smoothly, and partly out of humanitarian concern for the deceased.
"The transaction has been completed. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After speaking, he turned and quickly left the reception room.
He didn't want to stay in this place filled with the putrid stench of bad luck for another second, he needed to leave immediately!
A moment later, as he approached the exit of this labyrinthine underground space, Chehado suddenly stopped again, looked back, and frowned.
Although his mission was complete, his other companion, who was ordered to help Zhang Shuisheng snatch people, could not leave yet.
Should he inform him in advance?
Forget it. To be attacked by bad luck without knowing anything and still escape unscathed, that's a miracle! Chehado thought.
