I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Zhang Yu's dream continued, but it seemed to be separated into another space, completely turning into a yellowed background. The man's appearance made Lu Yibei unable to focus on the various information revealed in Zhang Yu's dream, only able to fully concentrate on guarding against his every move. Fear was like overgrown thorns, Entanglement around her body, piercing her skin with sharp thorns, greedily extracting her blood, and growing wildly. Seeing the man take a step forward, she retreated three steps, until she had nowhere to retreat, and the stiff, cold touch of the wall came from her back. She was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that something seemed to be wrong. “......” Wait! Isn't this my dream? So, in this place where I control everything, why should I be afraid of this guy? Wouldn't it be better if I just interrupted the dream? He can't possibly chase me out of the dream, can he? With this thought, Lu Yibei was about to interrupt the dream and make a quick escape. Just then, the man seemed to sense something, took a few steps forward, and called out softly. “Please wait, Calamity Miss, I have something to say!” Lu Yibei covered her ears with both hands and blurted out, “I’m not listening, I’m not listening!” The person in front of her was not only the Eclipse Society President, but also a monster who could freely enter and exit other people’s dreams and act freely without the dream creator’s permission. From a certain perspective, such a person was even more terrifying than an evil god. What good words could he say? If she carelessly listened to him, she would lose her sanity in an instant, be controlled by madness and foolishness, and become a running dog of the black sun. Lu Yibei thought, and was about to interrupt the dream regardless of what the other party said. However, when she activated the Power she had “borrowed” from Mengmeng and prepared to exit the dream, she found that the subtle connection established between her and Mengmeng through the Dependent Mark had been interrupted at some point. In other words, she was no longer in the dream she had created. But if I’m not in the dream I created, where am I now? Lu Yibei thought, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the man who was only two steps away from her. Some bad conjectures popped into her mind, and her heartbeat uncontrollably sped up. Hijacking... These two words inexplicably flashed through Lu Yibei’s mind. It was as if a kidnapper, in order to kidnap a certain target, directly packed up the target’s home along with her, without the target’s knowledge. It was utterly absurd, yet chilling. Could urban legend or Spirit Mark Power really achieve such a degree? Why do I feel like he and I are no longer in the same dimension? Lu Yibei thought. Seeing Lu Yibei quiet down, the man remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, “Calamity Miss, I think there might be some misunderstanding ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) between us. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “Then how do you explain Yu Jianqiu’s matter?” Lu Yibei glared at the man and said fiercely, “I finally fell in love once, but you made me lose so completely!” Since there was no way to exit the dream through normal means and she had to face the man, she decided to be a little tougher. At least she had to hold some initiative, right? The man, “???” What explanation? Did you really fall in love? I’ve been wronged... For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to that year when his supervisor first asked him to show his generosity and give the excellent employee quota to a pregnant woman, only for him to be mercilessly fired the next year because his performance was at the bottom. Two words: aggrieved! Taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, the man continued, “Calamity Miss, actually, if you want to know about the Eclipse Society, you can ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know and hide nothing. You don’t need to use this method.” He paused, then seemed to remember something, frowned slightly, and added, “Of course, the premise is that you cannot reveal certain confidential information to Yinghuo Elder.” Although being the Eclipse Society President was only a part-time job for him, he was still very professional. He couldn’t bring himself to reveal confidential work information to a competitor. Lu Yibei looked sideways expressionlessly, not speaking, but her eyes fully displayed her thoughts. Her eyes seemed to be asking the man, “Are you really that kind-hearted?”

“It seems there are indeed some misunderstandings between us.” The man smiled bitterly, “I can guarantee that we can actually become friends.”

He wasn’t lying. If Lu Yibei was willing to become a true “Disaster,” he could not only become friends with Lu Yibei, but also provide Lu Yibei with all the help he could.

However, a smile on that sickly pale, tired face looked somewhat twisted, making one involuntarily have some bad associations.

“Actually, I am very willing to offer you some help within my capabilities. If you don’t believe me, you can ask.”

“Alright then!” Lu Yibei rolled her eyes and said, “If you’re really that sincere, then tell me the specific information about Li Gate, how to enter and exit it, and its specific layout!”

Although this request sounded very excessive, she had already left some leeway by not asking the man to directly release her Old Dad.

She was still a little afraid of completely enraging the man, after all, she wasn't sure whether she was currently in the dream she had constructed or had been pulled into another dream by the man.

After hearing Lu Yibei’s words, a look of surprise appeared on the man’s face, which was unexpected for her, “Didn’t Yinghuo Elder tell you about Li Gate?”

Although the Elder faction and the Chairman faction within the Eclipse Society were outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds, secretly fighting for many years, they still belonged to the same organization, and certain confidential information was shared.

Therefore, the man originally thought that since Lu Yibei was Yinghuo Elder’s confidante, Yinghuo Elder should have already told Lu Yibei about Li Gate.

Just as he knew most of the secrets of the Gray Forest Cabin, Yinghuo Elder also had a deep understanding of Li Gate.

Lu Yibei, “......” If I could, of course I’d want Adult to tell me! But the problem is, I don’t even know Adult.

After muttering to herself, Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “Of course I already know. The reason I asked is just to verify if you were lying to me just now. If your answer is different from Yinghuo Adult’s, it means you have ill intentions!”

Facing this man who was most likely the Eclipse Society President, Lu Yibei did not want her false backing, Yinghuo Elder, to collapse for now.

Just like some game developers like to shift the conflict between players and planners/operators to between players themselves.

If she could shift the conflict between her and the man to between the man and Yinghuo, it would be all beneficial and no harm to her.

“You’re overthinking it. I actually just took over this job from the previous Chairman not long ago, and I might know less about Li Gate than Yinghuo Elder.” The man explained, “Regarding Li Gate...”

“I don’t know the specifics. As for how to enter it, whenever I need to enter, it just happens to appear behind the next door I’m about to open.”

At this point, he smiled, “You might not believe it, but when I first took over this job, I always felt like every door I saw was Li Gate.”

In fact, after becoming the Eclipse Society President, a series of strongholds, such as Li Gate, that only high-level members of the Eclipse Society could enter, would always appear before him exactly when he needed them.

It was as if they were cooperating with his work in a fawning manner.

Lu Yibei, “......” Every door is Li Gate? I also think everyone is a Disaster! If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. There's no need to be so perfunctory with me.

“Uh, ask something else?” Seeing the strong disgust in Lu Yibei’s eyes, the man seemed to be trying his best to prove that he could really help Lu Yibei, and hurriedly said, “For example, the whereabouts of a certain Alchemy material, or a specific Spell, or the specific method to advance to Calamity?”

As he spoke, his expression inexplicably resembled a strange uncle trying to lure a little loli with candy.

The specific method to advance to Calamity? Lu Yibei’s heart tightened, and a subtle change appeared in her gaze towards the man.

Although Chatterbox Girl had already pointed out the direction of advancement to her, she was still somewhat confused about the specific operation, still in a state of feeling her way across the river.

If she could learn from the man exactly how to do it...

As soon as this thought arose in her mind, Lu Yibei shook her head fiercely, driving this dangerous thought out of her mind.

This was the naked temptation of the devil, like Satan disguised as a snake tempting Adam and Eve to steal and eat the apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

If she succumbed to the temptation of Power for a moment and believed the man’s nonsense, the outcome would definitely be falling into an abyss of no return. freewebnσvel.cѳm

It seemed that from Lu Yibei’s series of small actions, he saw what she was thinking. The man revealed a tired smile and slowly began to speak.

“Calamity Miss, do you know the meaning of Disaster? Disaster means natural and man-made Calamity, destined to be Calamity.”

“For you, the method is very simple. You just need to obey your destiny, cut off the red threads of fate that disturb your destiny, accept the Power that rightfully belongs to you, and you can become the most powerful tianzai level strange story in this world at any time.”

After hearing the man’s words, Lu Yibei tilted her head and asked, “Is it really that simple?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

“Sorry, if it’s really that simple, I wouldn’t dare to accept it.” Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “My Old Dad taught me since childhood that there is no free lunch in the world. I suppose the price to pay for obtaining the Power of the strongest urban legend would be even more terrifying, right?”

“So, I’ll find a way myself! Now, I really have to go. Please open the door...”
