Although Lu Yibei’s initial hijacking of the Little Girl was an accident, because the Little Girl “luckily” overheard the conversation between her and Ju Meng, it was highly likely to force this infiltration mission to be aborted.
However, her invitation to the Little Girl to join the Lan Yi Party was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
From the bold idea of “having it all” to the period when Zhang Yi led the Eclipse Society’s lower-level members to depart, Lu Yibei pondered the problems she might encounter when turning her bold idea into practical action.
She realized that this matter seemed not so simple.
From Blue Yi’s memory, before her demise, she had not only turned hostile towards the Eclipse Society Elder Council but also had many conflicts with the Chairman’s faction.
Now, Blue Yi, who had been out of contact for a long time, suddenly reappeared, which was bound to attract the attention of both factions.
If the true Blue Yi did not appear, it would be fine; both factions would most likely remain inactive, but if the true Blue Yi appeared, perhaps the Elder Council’s assassination squad would come knocking the next day.
This kind of thing is like rare elite monsters with special drops in a game. When they haven’t spawned, even if players are waiting, their numbers won’t be particularly high, but once they spawn, the number of players rushing to kill them will immediately increase.
This is definitely not groundless worry.
From Blue Yi’s memory, as long as a trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuation is detected, the Elder Council has at least a dozen ways to find a Psychic or urban legend in a short period.
Although she could hide in the God Kingdom Prototype after the deed was done to avoid the Elder Council’s tracking, she couldn’t possibly hide there forever, right?
What’s the difference between that and waiting for death?
Although the God Kingdom Prototype and Lingtai Pure Karma, after completing their fusion, not only liberated Hua City’s earth Pulse Breath but also allowed the God Kingdom Prototype to be carried at any time, as long as she entered the God Kingdom Prototype, Lingtai Pure Karma would remain in place.
In addition, incorporating such a large number of lower-level Eclipse Society members is not a one-time deal; there will likely be many more times when she leads them to cause trouble in the identity of “Blue Yi.” With repeated instances, it’s hard to guarantee that the disguise won’t be seen through.
If her identity is exposed and attracts the attention of the Night Watch, the trouble will be even greater.
What does a urban legend, listed on the red wanted list, intend to do by secretly incorporating Eclipse Society members?
The Night Watch would absolutely not allow such an unstable factor, capable of causing immense destruction, to exist.
In summary, Lu Yibei felt that she urgently needed a “scapegoat” to take up the banner of the Lan Yi Party on her behalf, and this “scapegoat” should preferably have had no previous interaction with her.
Simply put, a black glove!
If something happened to the black glove, she could completely take the black glove into the God Kingdom Prototype and leave, which would be much more convenient and flexible than her hiding inside herself.
After observing along the way, Lu Yibei discovered that the Little Girl was very suitable for this important task!
This Miss is not only as gentle as a little lamb but also quite clever, and most importantly, she possesses a very rare quality.
She has a fair-skinned, slightly chubby round face, a pair of large, particularly watery and round eyes, and pink, delicate lips that resemble the legendary cherry lips, but they are slightly thicker, giving her a slight pout even when she has no facial expression.
Coupled with her somewhat timid personality, all of this combined gives her an aura of being constantly wronged.
Although it sounds a bit perverted, just looking at her really makes one inexplicably want to “bully” her a little, scare her, or forcefully pinch her little face.
If this were in a book, she would be the type who could be perfectly controlled by a single photo or video.
Combining multiple factors, Lu Yibei extended a sincere invitation to this Little Girl, who “voluntarily” joined them—
“Then why don’t you join the Lan Yi Party?”
The Little Girl was stunned upon hearing this, scrutinizing Lu Yibei with a complex expression, and weakly asked, “Wha-what party?” freewebnøvel.com
After a pause, she quickly added, “Sorry, I just joined the Eclipse Society not long ago, haven’t seen much of the world, and my knowledge is quite shallow.”
Lu Yibei almost instantly understood the Little Girl’s implication— “It’s not that your organization isn’t strong enough; it’s that I am ignorant. Please don’t be angry.”
Extremely strong will to survive!
“It doesn’t matter if you know about the Lan Yi Party; what’s important is that if you join now, you’ll be an Elder, a second-in-command, understand?” Lu Yibei said indifferently.
“When the Lan Yi Party eventually beats the Eclipse Society and kicks the Night Watch, you, as the second-in-command, should be very clear about how much benefit you can gain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; you must seize it!”
Although the Little Girl was “voluntarily” cooperating, Lu Yibei felt that she needed to see enough benefits to make her work wholeheartedly.
If you want others to work like cattle and horses, of course, you have to give them grass!
The Little Girl was somewhat moved, she pursed her lips and tentatively asked, “Then who is the first-in-command?”
Lu Yibei straightened her back and patted her chest, “That would be me.”
The Little Girl slightly furrowed her brows, turned her head to look beside Lu Yibei, and as her gaze fell on Ju Meng, Lu Yibei’s voice echoed in her ears.
“She is not a member of the Lan Yi Party; she is just an ally.”
After speaking, seeing Ju Meng glare at her, Lu Yibei subtly added, “She is the only, closest ally.”
Little Girl, good heavens! So, this organization only has one member so far? How could she have the nerve to say things like beating the Eclipse Society and kicking the Night Watch?
Although the Little Girl highly suspected that she had encountered some new type of scam, due to the powerful strength inadvertently displayed by Lu Yibei and Ju Meng, she dared not speak carelessly and anger them.
“Then, may I ask what exactly I’ll be doing after I join?”
“Isn’t it obvious? You don’t want to die, do you?” Ju Meng asked lightly, “Given the situation tonight, you, and these hundreds of people, are probably doomed.”
What does that mean? Are they going to start killing without a word? The Little Girl’s eyes widened, and her head immediately shook rapidly and frequently.
If you can’t speak, don’t... Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at Ju Meng and explained to the Little Girl, “She means that the Sunrise Biotechnology Company people sending you to launch a night raid on Sanxia Mental Hospital is clearly using you as cannon fodder. If you don’t resist, you’ll most likely be in mortal danger.”
The Little Girl frowned and said, “Earlier, I heard Manager Sha say that the boss found a mysterious Expert who blessed us, allowing us to double our luck and greatly increase our combat power in a short time, giving us a complete opportunity...”
Before the Little Girl could finish her sentence, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, and her words stopped abruptly.
“Boom—!”

Accompanying the loud bang, astonishing lightning erupted from the cliff face of Chijia Mountain, like a ferocious giant dragon, spanning the gorge, plating the river surface under the night sky with a layer of dazzling blue light. Faintly, several figures could be seen within the lightning, evaporating into nothingness at a visible speed.
The air current swept across the blue-tinged river surface, stirring up waves that made the small boats carrying the Eclipse Society members bob up and down like duckweed.
A few seconds later, Zhang Yi’s voice came through the communication Spiritual Energy item on the boat, used to contact the various teams of the Tenth Group.
“Everyone, don’t panic. It’s not an enemy attack. It’s just that the advance scouting team accidentally triggered a disposable Spiritual Energy item left behind by someone. This minor incident will not affect the operation.”
What the hell is a minor incident? With such a huge commotion, it would be strange if the Night Watch members stationed at Sanxia Mental Hospital didn’t notice!
This explosion essentially put the Eclipse Society members into the final round early.
Lu Yibei turned her head to look at the Little Girl, expressionless, and said, “Is this what they call double luck? It seems your boss’s mysterious Expert isn’t very reliable!”
What mysterious Expert? Aren’t they just Miracle Order members? With Smelly Girl and I here, Fang Ji and Shem together won’t work! Lu Yibei thought.
In awkward silence, the Little Girl looked at Lu Yibei with a very troubled expression for a moment, then bit her lip and said with a face full of difficulty, “But, but the Eclipse Society has been kind to my family. I just joined not long ago, and today is only my first day taking over for my father at the company. To betray them now, I really...”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully.
So she just joined the Eclipse Society not long ago?
No wonder this Miss looks a little different from the other Eclipse Society members.
Wouldn’t someone who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Eclipse Society be more suitable to be a “scapegoat”?
Lu Yibei thought, shaking her head gently, “Then you don’t have to worry. Joining the Lan Yi Party only means betraying Zhang Shuisheng, not betraying the Eclipse Society.”
“Do you know who Blue Yi is?”
The Little Girl shook her head with a blank expression.
“Hmph hmph!” Lu Yibei sneered twice and said, “Blue Yi is precisely the fourth seat of the Elder Council, Yinghuo Elder’s right-hand man, much more directly related than Zhang Shuisheng!”
Upon hearing this, Ju Meng’s eyes widened, looking at Lu Yibei, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.
This fellow just said she would dig up Yinghuo’s grave, and then immediately turned around and recruited people under Yinghuo’s banner. Isn’t that a bit too arrogant? Won’t it bring trouble upon herself? Ju Meng thought.
Lu Yibei, who had already been possessed by a “Disaster,” nonchalantly raised an eyebrow at Ju Meng and continued to speak to the Little Girl, “To tell you the truth, Yinghuo Elder already discovered Zhang Shuisheng’s rebellious actions, which is why Miss Blue Yi was sent down to incorporate his subordinates.”
As the Little Girl listened to Lu Yibei’s words, the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she couldn’t help but frown.
Just now, she said the Lan Yi Party only had her.
Immediately after, she directly called out the name of the fourth seat of the Elder Council.
Then she called Blue Yi Miss.
After a brief thought, the Little Girl widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yibei, gasping, “You, you are the fourth Elder’s confidant!?”
“That’s right!” Lu Yibei answered without thinking, “I am Blue Yi.”
Seeing this, Ju Meng’s mouth twitched, and she silently turned her face away.
It was unbearable to watch; she had no shame just to trick a Little Girl!
After receiving an affirmative answer, the Little Girl took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed ninety degrees to Lu Yibei, saying seriously, “I understand, Miss Lan. I, Ji Yunpei, am willing to follow you!”
Upon hearing the Little Girl’s name, Lu Yibei suddenly froze.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when she heard the three words “Ji Yunpei,” she felt something deep inside her being touched, as if she had heard this name somewhere before.
A feeling of kinship, like meeting an old friend in a foreign land after a long separation.
However, after careful recollection, she was very certain that she had never /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ met this Little Girl before.
Why was this happening?
Never mind for now. Since coercion, inducement, and political correctness have all succeeded, this Miss can now be considered one of their own. It’s time to get down to business.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei collected her thoughts and said to the Little Girl, “Very good, Ji Yunpei. What you need to do next is very simple...”
A few minutes later.
After assigning Ji Yunpei her task, Lu Yibei subtly moved closer to Ju Meng and asked in a voice only they could hear, “Smelly Girl, can you help me see if there’s a red string of fate between me and Miss Ji?”
She inexplicably had a strange feeling towards Ji Yunpei, and it was hard for her not to think of the red string of fate.
Ju Meng glanced at Ji Yunpei, who was sitting at the bow of the boat contemplating the mission details, then looked at Lu Yibei, rolled her eyes, and said coldly, “You dog, do you have a red string of fate with everyone you meet?”
“So, there’s no red string of fate?” Lu Yibei frowned and mumbled, “Strange, then why do I have that feeling?”
“What feeling?” Ju Meng asked.
Lu Yibei thought for a moment and said seriously, “A strange feeling.”
Ju Meng, I wonder if I shouldn’t have told her about the red string of fate in the first place?
Now, it seems every time she fancies a Miss, she wants to use the red string of fate as an excuse to give herself a reason to go and harass them.
If this continues, it’s going to end badly sooner or later!
As Ju Meng was pondering, a small boat carrying Eclipse Society members quietly docked by the Kui Gate shore near Chijia Mountain under the cover of night. Zhang Yi’s shouts came from the communication Spiritual Energy item on the boat.
“Everyone, prepare to go ashore! We’ll rendezvous at the main entrance of the target location in three minutes!”
Meanwhile, at Sanxia Mental Hospital, in Consultation Room 17.
Lin Kele and Jiang Li had just finished their routine questioning of Tan Qiuming and were about to officially begin the interrogation when they heard a rumble of thunder from outside the window.
Immediately after, the Harbinger Crow badges on their chests vibrated.
Lightly touching the badge with her fingertip, the voice of the Sanxia Mental Hospital’s person in charge echoed in her ears.
“Attention everyone, an unknown force is approaching the mental hospital. The reason is unknown. Please send the patients currently in the consultation rooms back to their wards and enter a state of alert.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Kele and Jiang Li both froze for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded.
“Li Jie, I’ll go to the Dean’s office first to ask about the situation. I’ll trouble you to send Tan Qiuming back to his ward, and by the way...”
By the way, can I take this time to question Tan Qiuming alone? Jiang Li nodded, interrupting, “I understand.”
With that, she stood up, picked up the Spiritual Energy-sealing handcuff-shaped Spiritual Energy item from the table, and walked towards the bewildered Tan Qiuming.
