Free Web NovelActually, when Lu Yibei saw Shen Baiwei being chased by so many people, she hesitated a little whether to abandon Shen Baiwei and run away.
Although Shen Baiwei had temporarily freed her from Nanling Yaohua's death trap, the enemies chasing Shen Baiwei were visibly numerous, and the risk of saving her was too great. freёwebnovel.com
Rationally speaking, in a place like Yumen Pass, it was very uneconomical to create so many enemies for herself because of a Miracle Order member.
However, Shen Baiwei held her hand...
Strangely, when the premonition flashed through her mind, the tight grip on her wrist was already there.
She had only experienced a similar situation with Qingji.
Qingji could do it because his speed and skill were maximized in all aspects, but Lu Yibei couldn't understand why Shen Baiwei could do it.
Her speed was clearly slow, and her movements were like a drowning person frantically grabbing a lifeline, full of survival instinct and devoid of any skill.
Could it be because of... a miracle?
Lu Yibei thought, looking ahead at the dense streams of Spell light, her brain throbbing with pain.
For a moment, she even suspected that Shen Baiwei was on a suicide attack, trying to take her down with her.
Miracle Order members seem to be quite good at this kind of thing...

Shen Baiwei, whose grasp of Disaster intelligence was second only to the Eclipse Society President, wouldn't she know what kind of psychological activity a Disaster would have when seeing such a scene?
A Disaster would definitely want to run away!
Therefore, Shen Baiwei had made ample preparations to prevent the Disaster from escaping.
The play isn't over yet; no one is allowed to leave without permission!
To ensure the Disaster wouldn't escape, she even used her authority when she grabbed the Disaster's wrist, giving the Disaster no chance to react at all.
Not just the Disaster, but almost no one could have had a chance to react.
She had already been caught in the past, so how could she break free now?

The short distance of dozens of meters passed in an instant.
Numerous Spells gathered together, stirring up chaotic Spiritual Energy fluctuations, with heatwaves and cold fronts colliding, erupting into bursts of fire, thick mist pervading, and faintly mixed with the earthy smell of earth-attribute Spells.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei had no time to think further. She pulled Shen Baiwei behind her, and with a thought, a heavy armor instantly covered her entire body. Then, holding an exaggerated rhomboid tower shield, disproportionate to her size, she took a step forward, facing the incoming streams of Spell light.
"Boom—!"
The first Spell fell, and the tower shield vibrated violently. The bluestone slab road beneath Lu Yibei's feet shattered instantly.
Then came the second, third, and fourth...
Dense Spells slammed onto the tower shield, like fireworks falling to the ground, scattering colorful sparks in a series of explosions, splashing in all directions, leaving charred marks or patches of white frost on the ground, and igniting raging fires in the dilapidated buildings.
As the strong wind howled, the rhomboid tower shield was pushed by the violent force, and Lu Yibei retreated step by step, leaving a series of deep and shallow cracks on the ground.
Behind the tower shield, Lu Yibei frowned deeply, her eyes darkening.
The number of Psychic chasing Shen Baiwei was alarmingly high, and they were all hidden in the dark. What was even more bizarre was that her premonition couldn't even capture their movements, making it impossible for her to pinpoint their positions and counterattack.
She could only endure it...
"..."
Fortunately, the power of these Spells was generally only at the level of around number fifty. If all of them had reached the level of number eighty-five or above, it would have been troublesome. Lu Yibei thought with some relief.
Above number eighty-five, it could already be considered within the scope of forbidden Spells, and they had considerable lethality against A-level Spirit Ability Users.
Although protected by Lingtai Pure Karma, Lu Yibei herself would still not be injured, but she could not guarantee that the two people behind her would not be injured.
It would be fine if Dai Lin's accomplice was injured; if he died, it could only be considered her bad luck. The crucial point was that Nanling Yaohua was also behind her, and she was injured...
————
While Lu Yibei held up the tower shield to block the continuously incoming Spells, Shen Baiwei, who was hiding behind her, suddenly felt a chill run up her spine.
There is a widely circulated saying that when the malice in one's eyes reaches a certain level, it cannot be hidden.
And Shen Baiwei knew that this saying was by no means just a legend.
Among the subordinate organizations of the Eclipse Society, besides technology companies like Rising Sun Biotechnology and the Black Sun Brothers Technology Association, they also secretly acquired industries such as short video platforms and knowledge-sharing platforms, and through these platforms, collected big data related to urban legend incidents.
From the big data collected by the Eclipse Society, it seemed that when many people were alone and felt like they were being watched, there really were urban legend lurking in the shadows.
When a person feels they are being watched by a strange gaze, the probability of being attacked by a Strange Tale increases by 47.73%. If they actively seek the source of the strange gaze, the probability of being attacked will increase to 79.25%.
And now, she felt as if she was being targeted by a Strange Tale.

She cautiously looked around and then noticed Nanling Yaohua staring at her with a cold expression, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Their eyes met, and Shen Baiwei flashed an awkward but polite smile, then quickly turned her face away, sucking in several sharp breaths as if her teeth ached.
Undoubtedly, she had found the source of the "strange gaze." According to the big data collected by the Eclipse Society, Nanling Yaohua most likely wanted to kill her.
She had gone to great lengths to get close to the Disaster, only to overlook Nanling Yaohua, a seemingly insignificant factor...
Shen Baiwei even suspected that if Nanling Yaohua hadn't been injured, she would have already made a move against her.
It was like knowing there was a pervert lurking nearby, and when walking alone at night, deliberately wearing iron pants with a lock, but when actually encountering the pervert, his accomplice suddenly smiled meaningfully, unzipped his pants, and casually pulled out a bag of Pop Rocks.
There was nothing more messed up than this.
Although she wasn't afraid of Pop Rocks, nor was she afraid of being targeted by Nanling Yaohua, this would undoubtedly affect her ability to prevent the Disaster from touching the past.
What should she do?
Just as Shen Baiwei was troubled, the Spell bombardment, which had lasted for about five minutes, finally stopped.
Noticing a gap in the "enemy's" attack, Lu Yibei quickly put away her tower shield, turned her head, and softly called out to Shen Baiwei, "Hurry!"
After speaking, she ran wildly towards Daimu Courtyard without looking back.
After retreating a certain distance, she paused slightly, glanced back with her peripheral vision through her thick cheek armor, and then frowned slightly.
Strange, why didn't they chase? A bit suspicious! Lu Yibei thought with confusion.
When escaping the scene, she had deliberately slowed her pace a bit to allow those chasing Shen Baiwei to catch up. Then she could lead them all the way to Daimu Courtyard and generously present them with a one-time "Calamity's Might" experience card.
If she, the Disaster, couldn't deal with those guys, couldn't Lord Huaiyuan deal with them?
He was a Calamity-level Psychic, even Chatterbox Girl highly praised him!
Well, the reason for this, I'm afraid, will only be determined after asking Dai Lin's accomplice and finding out which force is chasing her. Lu Yibei thought.

A moment later, inside Daimu Courtyard.
Lord Huaiyuan looked at "Lu Qingyi" with a stiff expression. After listening to her recount her experiences during her time away from Daimu Courtyard, he was lost in thought for a long time before coming back to his senses and asking, "So... those two Misses, you picked them up along the way?"
"Have you confirmed their identities? Do you know what kind of place this is? And you just brought people here."
Lu Yibei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then tentatively whispered, "Is it... a brothel?"
She got it from Chatterbox Girl.
Upon hearing this, Lord Huaiyuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
She had originally wanted to say that this was a secret base she had found, and that only here could they safely spend the night until they found a way to leave Yumen Pass.
However, bringing picked-up Misses to a brothel... while absurd, it was also inexplicably logical, leaving her momentarily at a loss for how to refute it.
"..." In silence, Lord Huaiyuan turned to look at the direction of the main door. Through the window, she could vaguely see the outlines of the two Misses outside the door.
"You've only been out for about three hours, and you've already brought back two Misses. Wouldn't that be..."
"Too much of a coincidence?" Lu Yibei nodded in agreement. "I think so too, it's really too much of a coincidence, but since I met them, I can't just leave them to die, can I? Besides, letting them stay might be of great use."
Lord Huaiyuan, "..."
She actually wanted to say that bringing back two Misses in just over three hours, wasn't that efficiency a bit too high? If this were in ancient times, she would probably be a human trafficker worthy of thousands of taels of silver as a reward.
However, after hearing "Lu Qingyi's" words, she suddenly became curious about what great use those two Misses outside the door could possibly have.
"What's the use? To share more rations?" Lord Huaiyuan asked, "Speaking of which, when you saved me yesterday, did you see the energy bars in my bag? Why can't I find them?"
"Uh..." Hearing that Lord Huaiyuan was still thinking about those energy bars, Lu Yibei replied somewhat guiltily, "No, I didn't see them! Perhaps the situation was too chaotic at the time, and they were accidentally lost?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Is that so?" Lord Huaiyuan pouted, "That's a shame..."
Seeing that Lord Huaiyuan didn't continue to press the matter, Lu Yibei quickly spoke up to explain before she could say anything more, "Of course they're of great use. That Nanling Yaohua is the current head of the Yumen Sand Sea lineage. I'm sure you know her, so her usefulness goes without saying..."
"Makes sense." Lord Huaiyuan nodded, indicating her agreement with "Lu Qingyi's" viewpoint.
When it came to understanding Yumen Pass, there were probably few people in this world who could compare to members of the Yumen Sand Sea lineage. With Nanling Yaohua present, their actions within Yumen Pass would be much more convenient.
"What about the other ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) one?"
"The other is a core member of the Miracle Order." Lu Yibei said, "Later, I'll interrogate her thoroughly and try to get some important information about the Miracle Order from her."
Is this reason still reasonable? Lord Huaiyuan nodded and instructed, "If she refuses to cooperate, tell me. I'm a famous interrogation expert of the Night Watch, I think I told you that, didn't I?"
"No need, no need!" Lu Yibei waved her hand, and as she stood up and walked out, she said, "Senior, you were injured yesterday, so please rest well. Just leave the rest to me."
After speaking, she pushed open the door and walked out. As soon as she stood still, she felt two gazes fall upon her simultaneously.
One was aggressive, the other pitiful.
In that instant, she felt as if she had become the old neighbor trapped in the closet, not daring to make a move...
