Free Web NovelThe Black Armor Monstrosities-transformed Longxiang Army Armored Soldier, while controlling Shen Baiwei's limbs and covering her mouth and nose, also blindfolded her.
At that moment, her world was left with only darkness.
It was as if in the middle of the night, in a dark room, she suddenly woke up from a nightmare, her eyes pitch black, the shadow of the nightmare still lingering, swirling in her heart, and if she listened carefully, she could faintly hear ghostly sounds.
In the darkness, countless strange creatures seemed to be slowly crawling, viscous, restless, ubiquitous...
Spiritual Energy fluctuations, as if cursed with malevolence, mingled with sickening, decaying odors, forming an unsettling torrent that pulled her forward, forward... as if to a distant corner far from the real world.
Placed in such an environment, Shen Baiwei was not flustered at all at first.
From the perspective of Spirit Mark authority, she was not afraid of encountering battles at all. The biggest difficulty in encountering battles—the unexpected—was not a difficulty at all for a Psychic like her, who could use Spirit Mark authority to “rewind” time a short while.
If she couldn't win, she would reload a save; this was practically Shen Baiwei's daily routine.
However, when she tried to “rewind” time to before she pushed open the Disaster's door, she was astonished to find that a strange power had enveloped her body at some unknown point, restricting her ability to use her powers.
And so, Shen Baiwei suddenly began to panic.
“...”
Why is this happening? Is it because of those Black Armor Monstrosities?
Damn it! Everything was going smoothly, why were there so many urban legend gathered by the Disaster's bed?
This is troublesome now... Shen Baiwei thought nervously, her heart beating like a rapid drum.
Just as she was pondering, a familiar voice rang out in her ear.
“Miss Shen, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) long time no see, how have you been?”
The Disaster is awake? When? Shen Baiwei was stunned for a moment, and before she could even react, the Black Armor Monstrosities that were controlling her limbs and covering her eyes and mouth suddenly released their cold hands, and then a hand pressed against her back, pushing her forward with force.
It was really forceful!
Shen Baiwei could feel that if that force had pushed an ordinary girl instead of an A-level Spirit Ability User like her, it might have shattered the girl's spine on the spot.
She had no idea what it meant to cherish and protect a beautiful woman!
Under the immense push, Shen Baiwei stumbled forward two steps. When she stabilized herself and her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she looked ahead and saw the awakened Disaster.
She saw that the Disaster, who had woken up at some unknown time, had changed into a long cyan dress with flame-shaped golden patterns. She sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, one hand resting on her knee, supporting her enchanting face with the back of her hand. Between the crimson strands of hair falling across her forehead, her golden eyes flickered with a lava-like glow.
Faintly, there was also a sense of oppressive power that made one uncontrollably want to kneel, emanating from that petite body.
If that expressionless face had even a hint of a meaningful, unsettling smile, it would have been the standard entrance of a major villainess demoness.
“I'm a little curious, why did you suddenly come to my room late at night?” Before Shen Baiwei could react, Lu Yibei asked softly.
Seeing Shen Baiwei's lips tremble, as if she had thought of words to quibble, she quickly interrupted, “I advise you to think carefully before speaking! If you still want to say that you're my fan, I won't believe it.”
“Even if you are my fan, I find this kind of night raid hard to accept. Outside Yumen Pass, I could call the police, you understand?”
Shen Baiwei, “...”

Lu Yibei had awakened from the “past influence” approximately twenty minutes ago. freewebnσvel.cøm
Twenty minutes ago.
With the help of the “Rouge Transformation · Incantation-Stabilized Mask” and her ability to change her body shape by consuming Spiritual Energy, Lu Yibei successfully disguised herself as Xia Lianqing and sat alone by the window in Xia Lianqing's room, looking out at the night sky that was thousands of years apart from her own era.
To better mislead the enemy, earlier, when she had Xia Lianqing convey information to the enemy through an intelligence dealer, she had them tell several different versions of when Xia Lianqing would leave Daimu Courtyard and act alone.
As night fell, five “Xia Lianqings,” including Xia Lianqing herself, began to leave Daimu Courtyard in sequence, according to the times mentioned in those false intelligence reports.
The first to leave was Dragon Tang; letting him leave first was mainly to strike while the iron was hot, fearing he might back out at the last minute.
Going out in women's clothing, generally speaking, is a matter of striking while the iron is hot, then waning, then exhausting.
After Dragon Tang, there were two Long Xiang Army experts disguised as Xia Lianqing; they agreed to impersonate completely due to Dragon Tang's intimidating power.
Upon seeing Dragon Tang coerce and entice the two armored soldiers, Lu Yibei couldn't help but sigh, thinking that forcing good people into prostitution indeed spreads.
And then it was Xia Lianqing herself...
Lu Yibei put herself last. According to her guess, when the desperate enemy realized that there was more than one “Xia Lianqing” in Yumen City Pass, they would most likely launch retaliatory attacks on different “Xia Lianqings” separately.
At that time, the attacks suffered by the first and last “Xia Lianqing” to appear would likely be more intense than those suffered by the three in the middle positions.
Of course, this was just a guess. To be safe, she had also planned out each “Xia Lianqing's” safe escape route in advance and arranged for two teams of Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers to provide support at any time.
...
“I hope nothing unexpected happens!” Lu Yibei murmured, looking at the brilliant starlight in the sky.
“If only the ‘Rouge Transformation · Incantation-Stabilized Mask’ worked on Paper Cicada Immortal, then I could just make four paper figures and send them out, and everyone wouldn't have to take this risk.”
She had thought about making several 1:1 Paper Cicada Immortal figures in Xia Lianqing's likeness, but considering that the Paper Cicada Immortal figures she made herself had a too avant-garde artistic style, there was a high probability that the first one would scare off the enemy, so she could only reluctantly abandon this plan.
“I really don't understand, the production process of Paper Cicada Immortal isn't difficult at all! Why can't they learn it?”
Thinking of how clumsy Xia Lianqing and Dragon Tang were when she taught them to make Paper Cicada Immortal, unable to make the Paper Cicada Immortal move no matter what, Lu Yibei felt a headache coming on and subconsciously raised her hand to rub her forehead.
However, when she lowered her hand and looked out the window again, the brilliant starlight in the sky quickly faded in her eyes.
In a few breaths, the sky was covered with a layer of gray.
The stars dimmed.
Lu Yibei, “...”
No way? Could it be... time to go back?
Why now of all times?
I finally made up my mind to take a gamble to perfect my authority, and now, before my authority has shown any movement, I'm being sent back. Isn't this a scam? Lu Yibei thought.
The next second, the scene before her eyes shattered like a reflection in a broken mirror, then darkness swept in, engulfing her vision.
As if falling into a turbulent and dark current, her body spun continuously, and intense dizziness came in waves.

The return arrived unexpectedly.
When the dizziness dissipated and her vision escaped the impenetrable darkness, Lu Yibei opened her eyes and saw a group of urban legend surrounding her, with Xia Lianqing at the head.
However, this time she seemed to have died even more tragically than before.
Her body was full of blood holes, and her clothes were soaked with blood, as if she had died from a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
Lu Yibei, “...”
————
Lu Yibei had thought that Xia Lianqing, with a group of Black Armor Monstrosities-transformed Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers, had come to retaliate against her.
After so much effort and half a day of trouble, not only did she fail to help Xia Lianqing escape the tragic fate of being tortured to death, but instead caused Xia Lianqing to be shot to death by arrows. It was only natural for her to feel resentment.
However, she soon discovered that Xia Lianqing not only did not make any moves to retaliate against her, but instead leaned closer and patted her shoulder with a bloody hand, as if comforting her and telling her to keep up the good work.
Then, the group of Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers knelt down in unison again.
They also knew that it was extremely difficult for this frail Miss to change all of that.
“...” Lu Yibei looked at Xia Lianqing's distorted face, then at the bloody hand on her shoulder, slowly pushed Xia Lianqing's hand away, and sighed silently, “Seeing you like this, I'm relieved, after all, I've done my best! But...”
Pausing, Lu Yibei turned to look at the group of Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers and frowned, “Even if you're like this, I can't do anything! I don't even know how to...”
Halfway through her sentence, memories of what happened before her “physical Crossing” to the past suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Speaking of which, I went there after I felt tired and fell asleep after the pre-trial of Shen Baiwei.
Thinking about it carefully, something did feel off when I was questioning Shen Baiwei! Not only was Shen Baiwei's behavior abnormal, but I also felt like I was being mind-controlled and not in my usual state.
So, could the trigger for going there be related to some action during Shen Baiwei's pre-trial?
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's gaze drifted in the direction of Shen Baiwei's room, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
She felt it was necessary to bring Shen Baiwei in for questioning again.
With her extraordinary memory, she was confident that she could replicate the previous process down to the smallest detail.
After replicating it, even if she couldn't go there, at least she could rule out an interfering option, right? Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully, looked at the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers, and said solemnly, “I might know how to go to your era, but I might need your help.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers raised their heads in unison and clasped their fists heavily towards Lu Yibei, as if saying, “At your command.”
“Alright, you guys first sneak into the room next door and bring that short-haired Miss over to me. Remember not to make any sound. Make sure you don't give her a chance to react. Act directly from behind her, in pairs, controlling her hands and feet, covering her mouth and nose...” Lu Yibei said.
She wasn't afraid that Lord Huaiyuan would notice the existence of these urban legend. That guy fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed and wouldn't wake up until dawn. She was mainly worried that Shen Baiwei would cause a commotion and attract Nanling Yaohua, and then scare Nanling Yaohua, which wouldn't be good.
Pausing, Lu Yibei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, “By the way, have any of you ever slaughtered livestock?”
As her voice fell, two Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers slowly raised their hands. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
“That makes it easy!” Lu Yibei pointed at the two burly figures and said, “You two ask them later how they held down the livestock when they slaughtered them, and you do it the same way.”
After she finished speaking, before the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers could act, a faint, rustling sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in the hallway.
Lu Yibei froze for a moment, then flipped over and lay back on the bed.
A few seconds later, the room door was pushed open, and a short-haired Miss stood frozen outside the door, her face pale.
Lu Yibei, “...”
She hadn't expected Shen Baiwei to walk right into the trap; it was like someone handed a mouse to an internet addict who was having withdrawal symptoms.
However, since she's here, don't leave!
So, Lu Yibei, lying on the bed, only said in a very low voice, “It's her, move!” The Black Armor Monstrosities-transformed Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers quickly approached the girl outside the door, then extended their evil hands towards the girl who was about to escape, pulling her into the “abyss”...
————
Shen Baiwei stiffened her neck, as if ready to bravely face her death at any moment, staring at Lu Yibei with wide eyes. After a long pause, she finally gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence, “Disaster, being captured by you means I'm inferior in skill, but you won't get any information from me!”
“I won't say anything, and your enchantment won't work on me!”
She said this out loud, but in her heart, she was already clamoring like a masochist—Enchant me! Quickly enchant me! Enchant me fiercely, don't pity me!
Unexpectedly captured by the Disaster and inexplicably restricted in her abilities, Shen Baiwei now completely pinned her hopes of escape on triggering her enchantment-related “anchor” through an emergency response.
But if she directly asked the Disaster to use her enchantment ability, the Disaster would definitely be unwilling.
So she could only use provocation.
“Oh? My enchantment won't work on you? Why do I find that a little hard to believe?” Lu Yibei tilted her head and fell into a brief contemplation.
Seeing this, Shen Baiwei's heart rejoiced.
What? Do you feel provoked by me? Then quickly enchant me! Shen Baiwei thought excitedly.
However... Miss, the perverted gleam in your eyes is almost shooting out! Lu Yibei scrutinized Shen Baiwei and said expressionlessly, “Since that's the case, then I won't enchant you.”
Shen Baiwei, “???”
Immediately after, before the question marks in her mind could dissipate, Lu Yibei lightly called out, “Come, pry open her mouth for me, we're going to feed Miss Shen poison!”
As her voice fell, the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers swarmed forward, pressing Shen Baiwei to the ground like livestock, then two large hands reached out from either side and clamped onto the corners of her mouth.
“Wuwuwu!”
A low whimper filled with terror spread through the room.
However, before the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers could pry open Shen Baiwei's mouth, an unexpected situation occurred.
Outside the window, the gloomy sky suddenly surged, shadows rolled, and turbulent currents collided, erupting in a high-pitched roar.
Accompanied by the roar, a bright white light shot up from the city, then exploded in the sky.
Thus, Yumen Pass, which had been shrouded in darkness for countless years, was instantly enveloped in a sacred, pale, intense light.
Standing in that intense light, as if experiencing a hallucination, a whisper, as if from a distant time and space, echoed in her ears.
It said, “Speak your wish...”
