Free Web NovelLu Yibei had intended to briefly tell Chatterbox Girl about her glimpse into the past and how she changed Xia Lianqing's fate, but Chatterbox Girl interrupted her just as she began.
“Wait, don’t be so vague. Changing the past can be a big or small matter. You need to tell me all the details so I can analyze how you did it.”
In Chatterbox Girl’s understanding, Disasters do not have the ability to affect the past, at least not yet. The current situation must be due to the influence of other Psychics, urban legend, or some special Spiritual Energy item. She could only find the answer if she knew all the details.
Noticing the urgency and seriousness in Chatterbox Girl’s tone, Lu Yibei also became a bit nervous. She fell silent for a moment, carefully recalling all the details from when she entered Yumen Pass until now, before continuing her narration.
She started from when she witnessed Lord Huaiyuan being knocked away by the giant deep within Yumen Pass and prepared to scavenge for benefits, then recounted how she traveled with Lord Huaiyuan, evaded the black shadow's attack, and temporarily stayed in Daimu Courtyard. Just as she was about to continue, Chatterbox Girl interrupted her again.
“Wait, are you saying you’re with Lord Huaiyuan right now?”
“Yes!” Lu Yibei said blankly, “Do you know... uh, sorry, is there something wrong with her? Is she the key to me glimpsing and changing the past?”
Lu Yibei had intended to ask Chatterbox Girl, “Do you know Lord Huaiyuan?” but then she remembered that Lord Huaiyuan was a Guardian of the Night Watch, so it was normal for Chatterbox Girl to know about her existence, so she changed her words.
If even a Night Watch Guardian didn't know, then this Chatterbox Girl would be too unprofessional, like someone claiming to be a professional game Dailian who didn't know the common elite monsters in the corresponding game.
“Heh...” Chatterbox Girl’s face showed a meaningful smile as she shook her head and said, “She has nothing to do with you changing the past. What I want to say is, do you feel that she’s particularly unreliable, particularly weak, and compared to that Old man Zhang Huainan, she’s like a fake?”
“You said that!” Lu Yibei emphasized expressionlessly, “I didn’t say that. Personally, I still greatly respect Senior Lord Huaiyuan...”
“But you thought that in your heart, didn’t you?”
Lu Yibei, “...”
“No comment, so I’ll take that as a yes?” Chatterbox Girl raised an eyebrow, straightened her back, and said, “As a Dailian with professional ethics, I think it’s necessary to remind you to put those thoughts aside...”
Mid-sentence, the scene of her fighting Lord Huaiyuan flashed through her mind. As if hallucinating, a dull pain throbbed in her chest.
She had fought almost all the Guardians of the Night Watch, but only Black Emperor and Lord Huaiyuan had truly gravely injured her or had the chance to do so.
Even now, recalling it, she could still feel the excruciating pain of having a dozen ribs shattered by Lord Huaiyuan's unstoppable punch. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Her Spiritual Energy fluctuations weren't particularly top-tier, yet she possessed that level of physical body, more monstrous than a Strange Tale, simply a freak.
“While Lord Huaiyuan is the weakest Guardian under normal circumstances, in special circumstances, she can also be the strongest Guardian.” Chatterbox Girl collected herself and continued, “How should I put it? You understand berserkers, right?”
“It’s the type where their combat power is mediocre in normal state, but every time you hit her, she accumulates a certain amount of rage. By the time her health is almost depleted, her rage is almost full, and she'll lock her health and burst in a short period, her combat power directly turning into a monster level.”
“I understand, I understand!” Lu Yibei nodded obediently, “Don’t worry, I’ll cling tightly to this powerful figure, but... is she really reliant on rage for output? Can you tell me more in detail?”
If she truly relied on rage for output, it wouldn't necessarily have to be accumulated by taking damage, Lu Yibei thought to herself.
It was like unstable explosives, which, after being processed by some special means, could be made into controllable bombs.
She felt that if she could learn more about Lord Huaiyuan’s personal information, she might have a way to make Lord Huaiyuan’s rage instantly max out even at full health.
Isn't it just about making someone angry? How hard can that be?
As the Flower City Torment King herself, from a certain perspective, she could be seen as a humanoid rage-generating machine. Making someone completely furious was as easy as breathing.
Chatterbox Girl, “...”
Although Lu Yibei didn't voice her thoughts, could she not guess what Lu Yibei was thinking?
She hesitated several times before finally admonishing, “I know what you’re thinking, but my advice is, don’t seek death, unless you want to pay with a dozen ribs... Alright, continue? Tell me what happened after Lord Huaiyuan took you to the brothel.”
“Oh, okay.” Lu Yibei nodded reluctantly, temporarily putting aside the idea of using Lord Huaiyuan as a tool, and continued to recall her experiences from last night, recounting them to Chatterbox Girl.
This time, Chatterbox Girl did not interrupt again, but when she spoke of seeing Xia Lianqing hanging herself and instinctively reaching out to save her, her hands being “cut” by suddenly appearing black lines, she clearly saw Chatterbox Girl’s eyes tremble, and her gaze drifted to Lu Yibei’s hands.
Perhaps Chatterbox Girl had also experienced those strange black lines on her body and knew something about them?
Lu Yibei thought, tilting her head, and did not immediately press Chatterbox Girl for answers. Instead, she continued to recount her entire experience from last night until she was woken up by Lord Huaiyuan today.
Right now, she wanted to first figure out the reason she could change the past. As for what those strange black lines were, it didn't matter if she asked later.
After listening to Lu Yibei's narration, Chatterbox Girl frowned and remained silent for a long time, as if replaying and dissecting the entire event, trying to find useful information. After a long while, she finally asked, “That’s it? Are you sure you haven’t missed any details? Haven’t you encountered any strange people?”
Lu Yibei thought for a ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) moment, then shook her head expressionlessly, “That’s it... Don’t you know me? If I noticed any important details or met anyone, how could I miss it?”
“That’s true...” Chatterbox Girl murmured, nodding thoughtfully.
Given Lu Yibei's extraordinary memory and cautious personality, she would never miss anything if she sensed something was amiss.
But something important must have been overlooked...
It probably happened quietly without Lu Yibei noticing.
Chatterbox Girl thought, carefully examining Lu Yibei, hoping to discern something from her, but she found nothing and finally sighed silently.
When Lu Yibei was halfway through her narration, there was even a moment when she suspected Lu Yibei was influenced by the authority of the Nightmare.
Although in this world full of urban legend, there are countless bizarre authorities, and there are many that can affect the past, only the Nightmare can directly affect the past as Lu Yibei described, as if physically traveling through time. There is no other.
After all, the Nightmare was a Strange Tale created by the Eclipse Society Elder Council to deal with the Eclipse Society President, the culmination of countless years of Spiritual Energy research by the Eclipse Society. Its authority was extremely special, incomparable to ordinary urban legend.
However, after listening to Lu Yibei’s entire experience, she found no signs of the Nightmare’s authority appearing...
“Sorry, I can’t think of the reason you can change the past for now,” Chatterbox Girl said. “However, give me some more time. When you enter that state again next time, observe more closely, and we’ll definitely find some clues.”
“Tsk!” Lu Yibei spat out disappointedly, rolling her eyes, “This Chatterbox Girl is just weak! In the end, don’t I have to rely on myself?”
“Alright! Is that it for today? I’m leaving first?”
Chatterbox Girl saw Lu Yibei pacing towards the edge of the rooftop, preparing to jump down and leave the place, and as if remembering something, she softly called out, “Wait!”
“What’s wrong?” Lu Yibei turned back and asked. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
“Uh, that thing you mentioned last time...” Chatterbox Girl asked hesitantly, “About you dreaming of Disaster killing people... Did you dream of it again yesterday?”
“Of course not!” Lu Yibei shrugged, “I spent the whole of yesterday just wandering around with that woman Xia Lianqing.”
“...” Chatterbox Girl pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “Oh, alright, you can go then.”
“Tch! How neurotic...” Lu Yibei pouted, took a step forward, and let her body fall from the sky, plunging into the dark red mist that enveloped the entire city.
A fierce wind lashed her face, and then, darkness enveloped her vision.
----
Just as Lu Yibei was communicating with Chatterbox Girl, a figure quietly appeared on the roof of a building not far from the small courtyard.
It was a girl in white clothes, wearing glasses, with shoulder-length short hair tied into a ponytail.
She silently observed the back room of the small courtyard for a moment, then took out a small notebook from her top pocket, flipped through it for a while, and stopped on the “Disaster” page...
