Free Web NovelSeeing Du Sixian appear at the entrance of the Night Watch and acting quite intimately with An Qing, a bad premonition subtly rose in Lu Yibei's heart.
Although the si ye shu mentioned that higher-level urban legend have some mysterious connection with their dependents, it didn't say that dependents couldn't betray their masters!
Since ancient times, have there been too few cases of selling out one's master for glory? How satisfying it is to secretly stab a big shot in the back! Lu Yibei thought.
Anyway, he felt that if someone left a dependent mark on him, he would definitely try to find a way to get rid of the control. If he couldn't find a way, relying on the Night Watch might be a good option.
His mind had already conjured up a scene where An Qing learned about his shady dealings from Du Sixian, her heart filled with righteous indignation, and her surging sense of justice unable to be calmed for a long time. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Then, upon seeing him at this moment, she would wave her hand and give an order, and from the dark corners, seventeen or eighteen muscular men would immediately jump out, performing a triple attack of'strong man locking male', 'male on top of male', and 'covered in strong men', subduing him on the spot and sending him to the Yun Kang Mental Hospital to plant chrysanthemums.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die...
There's no way to hide now, can I only go all out? Lu Yibei thought, what if he got lucky and had an outbreak? freeweɓnovel.cøm
But, I really don't know how to transform during the day. Should I perform a set of military boxing exercises for each of them?
As Lu Yibei was thinking, An Qing and Du Sixian had already walked up to him. He immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, clenching his fists. However, none of the scenes he had imagined happened.
An Qing walked forward, paused slightly, smiled charmingly, pointed at Lu Yibei, and introduced him to Du Sixian, saying, "Ah, right, let me introduce you. This interesting guy is Lu Yibei. He joined the Night Watch a few weeks before you. You can roughly consider yourselves to be from the same period!"
"Lu Yibei?" Du Sixian's bright eyes rolled around in a peculiar and lively manner. She extended her hand towards Lu Yibei and smiled lightly, "It's nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future!"
For some reason, Du Sixian did not mention that Lu Yibei had the same symptoms as her, as if she had never heard the name Lu Yibei before.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei subconsciously reached out, then hesitated for a few seconds, and his hand suspended in mid-air was suddenly pulled back.
Could ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) this be a trap!?
When Du Sixian saw Lu Yibei reach out, a hint of a smile had just appeared at the corner of her mouth, but her expression immediately froze.
Is there something wrong with this person...?
Seeing this, An Qing patted Du Sixian's shoulder and smoothed things over, saying, "Oh, don't mind him. He's just like that, a bit eccentric. You'll get used to him after spending more time together!"
"Let's go in first. As long as you pass the final test, you'll be a full member of the Night Watch."
After saying that, An Qing pulled Du Sixian and left.
Lu Yibei watched the two of them leave until their backs disappeared at the entrance of the corridor before he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before his hanging heart could settle, Jiang Li's voice drifted into his ears.
She had been watching quietly from the side, like an audience waiting for a good show, until An Qing and Du Sixian left.
"I find you a bit strange."
"Am I?"
"Yes!" Jiang Li nodded affirmatively, resting her chin in thought for a moment before continuing, "When you looked at that Miss just now, your eyes were very strange, like..."
"Like?" Lu Yibei repeated weakly, his Adam's apple nervously bobbing.
Jiang Li said seriously, "Tell me honestly, did you fall for her? From the nervousness you showed when you didn't dare to shake her hand, I interpreted it as shyness."
"Uh..." Lu Yibei opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.
Was I shy? I was scared, okay? Leader, you probably haven't been in a relationship, have you?
Although I haven't either, tsk, why do single dogs make things difficult for single dogs?
Lu Yibei thought, to avoid Jiang Li becoming suspicious, he simply went along with her words.
"It's really embarrassing, Leader, you truly have sharp insight. However, it's not exactly liking, it's just that Miss just now was particularly like someone in my dream..."
Wait, in my dream!
Mentioning the dream, Lu Yibei slightly furrowed his brow, and something flashed through his mind.
His intuition told him it was something very important, yet it was vague, like a bubble drifting in the wind. He tried hard to grasp it, but was interrupted by Jiang Li.
She patted Lu Yibei's shoulder and said, "Although I'm not very optimistic about office romance, I want to tell you to work hard! Sometimes if you don't work hard, you won't know..."
"You won't know how excellent you are?"
"No." Jiang Li rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said flatly, "You won't know how useless you are."
Lu Yibei, "..." Does this person ever say anything that makes people happy?
The two were silent for a while, looking at Peony Street under the gradually darkening sunlight.
"Leader, like this, don't we look like an old couple who can't even move?" Lu Yibei said cheekily.
Jiang Li said flatly, "I think we look more like the stone lions at the entrance..."
"Then should I step on a ball?"
"..." Jiang Li was silent for a moment and said, "Do you have anything else? If not, hurry back. It's getting dark."
"I... actually have one more thing I want to ask." Lu Yibei said, "I want to ask, when can I become a full member?"
Originally, Lu Yibei planned to wait until he finished telling the fabricated story before mentioning the plan to infiltrate the enemy's interior to Jiang Li. However, Du Sixian's sudden appearance at the Night Watch gave him a strong sense of crisis, forcing him to advance his plan.
He had to get in and keep an eye on Du Sixian to prevent her from causing any trouble.
"You want to become a full member?" Jiang Li frowned.

"Yes! I dream of it. After all, temporary workers have no human rights!"
"Becoming a full member..." Jiang Li hesitated, her eyes shifting thoughtfully. After a moment, she continued, "If you really want to join the Night Watch, then wait a little longer. Now is not the time."
"Ah? Why can that person just now join directly? I have to wait? Is there going to be some kind of test, trial, or political review? Leader, differential treatment is unacceptable! Going against public opinion and losing popular support will lead to big problems."
"She has seventeen or eighteen houses in her family, do you?" Jiang Li said flatly.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Damn those pay-to-win players!
...
Lu Yibei walked away dejectedly. Looking at his departing back, Jiang Li sighed softly.
"Alas... just wait a little longer!"
At least, until Bai Kai returns.
A few days ago, after Bai Kai parted ways with Lu Yibei, he thought for a long time and sneaked into the Amber House at night without bringing any musical instruments.
After finding Jiang Li, Bai Kai, with a rare serious attitude, asked her to help cover for him for two weeks, saying that Lu Yibei might propose to officially join the Night Watch soon, and he needed to spend some time collecting the core and materials from the Strange Tale entities to draw Spirit Marks.
In his words, "Even if my Xiao Bei is to become a Psychic, the Spirit Mark must be the best and most suitable. The stock of the Hua City Si Ye Hui is all trash!"
Although he said no, Bai Kai's body was very honest. He was particularly concerned about Lu Yibei wanting to join the Night Watch.
If he couldn't help him choose the best path, then he would help pave the path he chose.
He truly is a loving father who cares deeply for his son! Jiang Li thought, a hint of envy rising in her heart.
...
It was just past five o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Yibei came out of Peony Street. There wasn't much time left before dark. He hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed towards Jingyi Apartment.
As soon as it passed five o'clock, Hua City gradually entered the evening rush hour. Everyone was rushing home before dark, and traffic congestion began to appear.
In the city crisscrossed with reinforced concrete, the taxi slowly moved forward, bathed in the setting sun.
The driver was a quiet young man, so quiet that he was boring, so quiet that Lu Yibei felt sleepy, so quiet that he missed Uncle Zhang Shan...
In this quiet environment, Lu Yibei began to ponder secretly.
Although Jiang Li had interrupted his thoughts just now, he was still very concerned about the important information that had flashed through his mind.
In my dream... in my dream...
What did I dream of last night?
That's right, I dreamed of that mysterious space, the strange rooftop in the dilapidated city, there seemed to be many people hidden in the city, shouting something at me, and... and...
It's always easy to forget things in dreams after waking up. Lu Yibei tried hard to recall, but found that it was like being shrouded in a mist, unclear.
Time passed without him noticing. The scenery outside the window flew by. Before the sky completely darkened, the taxi stopped in front of the entrance of Jingyi Apartment.
"Young man, we're here!"
The driver's words sounded in his ears, and the little clue he had finally grasped instantly vanished like a bubble in the sunlight.
Lu Yibei clicked his tongue in annoyance, paid the fare, got out of the car, and headed straight for the rooftop.
"It felt so important, why can't I remember it?"
...
5:30 PM, on the corridor outside the Ancient Special Text Content Research Office at Huacheng Institute of Technology.
A male student wearing a white coat hurried along with a stack of documents.
He wore round-rimmed glasses with thick lenses, was somewhat thin, had messy curly hair, and looked unkempt and a bit decadent.
Pushing open the door of the research office, the student went straight to Professor Ma's experimental bench, "Professor, Professor, the composition analysis is out. Please take a look, something is not right."
Professor Ma was hunched over the experimental bench, surrounded by scattered papers and literature.
He was carefully reading the text on the bamboo slip word by word with a magnifying glass, constantly comparing it with various special texts he had studied before, hoping to decipher the information contained within the bamboo slip.
Ritual? Recipe? These two sets of characters are somewhat similar to the words for ritual and recipe in ancient Yi script.
Could this bamboo slip be a record of ancient ethnic minority sacrificial rituals?
Completely immersed, Professor Ma unconsciously felt a dizzy sensation, like being drunk, and a confusing whisper appeared in his ears like a hallucination.
This state lasted for a few minutes, until his student called out to him again, and he was pulled out of that strange state and came back to his senses.
"Oh, Lu Xu, what did you just say?"
"Professor, I said the composition analysis of the pigment used to write on the bamboo slip is out. Please take a look, something is not right."
"Is that so? Let me see." Professor Ma slightly furrowed his brow and took the document handed to him by the student named Lu Xu.
The analysis of pigment composition is very necessary for the study of special text content. Through composition analysis, one can roughly infer the technological level and living environment of the ethnic group, thereby further inferring the cultural composition.
Professor Ma carefully read the pigment composition analysis report. The content of the report was normal at first, consisting of some common plant and mineral materials from the southwest region, but the last column was marked 【Unknown】...
