Chapter 31 Burning Resort Hotel Revision
“d*mn! Shut up!”
The man finally couldn’t hold back his outburst, landing a punch on Luxianbei’s abdomen, and then the entire world fell silent.
He just couldn’t understand it; a seemingly fine young man, yet his mouth was so incessant?
If it weren’t for the fact that the breeding ceremony of the Witch’s Egg had to be personally conducted by the Devourer, he would want to k*ll Luxianbei right now!
Although no one could hear his shouting, it was infuriating! More annoying than the monks chanting in a temple! Coupled with that expressionless face that made him want to hit him, he was simply an emotionless pager!
If it weren’t for Luxianbei’s endless chatter, he wouldn’t have sensed any spirit energy fluctuations and might have suspected Luxianbei was a reincarnated ancient god urban legend!
For a brief moment, the man even considered asking Mr. Rabbit to increase the rewards for this operation—one Primordial Spirit, no, two!
He needed two Primordial Spirits to smooth out the spiritual pollution that Luxianbei brought him!
The man moved like a wisp of ghost, weaving through the city under the night sky, soon leaving the urban area and entering a mountainous forest. In the distance, the outline of the Flower Language Sunshine Resort Hotel appeared in his sight.
During the daytime, the Siye Society had already completed the cleanup of the resort hotel, the urban legends hidden within exterminated.
At this moment, the members of the Siye Society had nearly all evacuated to encircle Mr. Rabbit, leaving only a few stationed here.
The most dangerous place was the safest place; the breeding ceremony of the Witch’s Egg would be completed here, and a new witch would be born.
…
At Qingyuan Ferry Dock, the operation to encircle Mr. Rabbit had concluded. The members of the Special Action Team were clearing away the rotting flesh scattered throughout the forest.
On a small hillside in the distance, Jiang Li rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the tranquil river surface, quietly waiting for something.
Footsteps approached from behind. An Qing brushed off the bl**d from the willow leaf blade and moved closer to Jiang Li, sighing, “All the corpses bear Evil Face Patterns and traces of alchemical materials; they were created as living corpses. We’ve fallen into a trap this time.”
“That rabbit really invested heavily.”
Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and asked, “What about Luxianbei? Did anything happen on his end?”
“Hehe!” An Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, “Since when did you care about him? Are you scared by Bai Kai?”
“…” Jiang Li looked at An Qing and, after a long silence, said, “I’m worried. If there’s no trace of that rabbit here, they might turn to Luxianbei.”
“If you were one of those scoundrels hiding in the dark and learned that someone could discover your location through certain means, what would you do with him?”
“Of course, I’d make him disappear from this world!” An Qing blurted out, then paused and added solemnly, “He couldn’t even be allowed to become an urban legend.”
There was never harmony among urban legends; even if they sometimes collaborated in certain ways, more often than not, their interactions followed the jungle law of the survival of the fittest.
An Qing retracted her gaze, altering her usual flippancy, and said seriously, “I think we should head to the hospital now.”
“Not yet; with the sealing playing cards in effect, he won’t encounter danger so easily.”
An Qing’s lips parted in surprise, then her smile turned meaningful, “For that kid, you even resorted to an A Grade spirit energy item? You must have taken a liking to him, right?”
“Speaking of which, I am quite interested in him. If he dies that day, I definitely want his body for dissection.”
Jiang Li shot a glare at An Qing, silently contemplating for a long time before slowly saying, “I owe him.”
An Qing did not speak anymore, watching Jiang Li’s cold profile, and gently sighed.
In fact, she was still quite concerned about that time when she chose to give up Luxianbei’s life to track the S-Rank Spiritual Energy Fluctuation Urban Legend, wasn’t she?
Lost in thought, An Qing’s mourning Gray Owl Badge vibrated gently. She ran her fingertips over the badge to read the information it carried, and her expression instantly turned grave.
“There’s new information.”
“What is it?”
An Qing hesitated, then said earnestly, “I told you not to get too excited.” As she spoke, her gaze swept over Jiang Li’s metallic prosthetic limb.
“Mm.” Jiang Li nodded slightly.
“My informant reported that the one who has been secretly aiding Mr. Rabbit all this time is…”
“From the Solar Eclipse Society? I guessed that.” Jiang Li tilted her head at An Qing, “Don’t worry; the people from back then are all dead, so I have nothing to be impulsive about.”
“That’s good.” An Qing opened her mouth, barely starting to say something when a member of the Special Action Team rushed over, handing a flyer to the two.
“Ladies, take a look at this; it was found on a D-Rank Urban Legend.”
It was a piece of paper made from the same material as the ads Mr. Rabbit often used, containing no magical Hebrew incantation, just a line written in bl**d—[Flower Language Sunshine Resort Hotel, Solar Eclipse Society].
After reading the flyer, Jiang Li and An Qing exchanged glances and nodded in unison before quickly leaving Qingyuan Ferry Dock.
Although they didn’t know why Mr. Rabbit left such information or why it was related to the Solar Eclipse Society, and even if there were shenanigans involved, they felt it was necessary to go check it out.
…
Half an hour later.
“Tap tap—tap tap—!”
A silvery figure raced along the ring road not far from the Flower Language Sunshine Resort Hotel, blue flames shooting out from the gaps in the armor joints, fluttering like a flag.
An Qing clung to Jiang Li’s back, tightly pressed against her. Through the cold armor, she could hear the accelerated heartbeat of the lean figure beneath.
“Using spirit energy twice in one day, can you hold on?”
“I’m fine.” Jiang Li’s cold voice came from beneath the armor.
“If it’s too much, don’t force it. If your spirit energy goes out of control and you become an urban legend, I won’t go easy on you.”
“No need.” Jiang Li replied nonchalantly, “If one day my spirit energy goes out of control, I will end my own life before my mind is eroded.”
An Qing, “…” Talking about s*icide so casually? No wonder she was someone whose parents would k*ll without hesitation! How ruthless!
As they forged ahead, crossing the deserted ring road at night, the scenery on either side flew by. The peaks blocking their path gradually receded as if drawing back a curtain, revealing the outline of the Flower Language Sunshine Hotel.
The burning outline.
“Bang—!” A loud explosion erupted in the still night, the top of the resort hotel exploding directly, molten steel and concrete spraying out like a volcanic eruption.
The autumn forest was filled with fallen leaves, and fireballs rained down from above, igniting a furious blaze.
Jiang Li’s steps halted; due to inertia, An Qing was flung off, spinning gracefully in mid-air before landing steadily.
In the next moment, it was as if the gates of hell had opened, something crawled out from within, an overwhelming heat surged from the direction of the resort hotel, and the surrounding spirit energy ignited, flowing through the air like boiling iron.
In such spirit energy fluctuations, the anger and brutality concealed deep within were awakened, continuously assaulting Jiang Li and An Qing’s nerves.
A Grade spirit energy fluctuation? No, even stronger!
That damned rabbit succeeded?!
Did it lead us here to witness its rebirth?
Perhaps not only that; now that it possessed such power, it might need the bl**d of several people to celebrate its inner euphoria?
Questions, anxieties, horror.
For a moment, countless complex emotions surged in Jiang Li and An Qing’s minds.
…
At a mountain peak several kilometers away from Jiang Li and An Qing.
A Bunny Girl watched the resort hotel being consumed by flames, anxiously tugging at her long hair and shouting at the top of her lungs.
“d*mn it! d*mn it! What the hell is going on?! Why is this happening?! That was a year’s worth of my hard work! What did you do?!”
Mr. Rabbit—no, she should now be called Miss Rabbit.
Her heart was in shambles at this moment.
She had sacrificed her original body, seized control of a C-Rank urban legend under the Evil Face Pattern, and finally escaped from the encirclement of the Siye Society.
Afterwards, disregarding the consequences of offending the Solar Eclipse Society and the Siye Society, she intentionally led the man she traded with and the members of the Siye Society here, preparing to ambush them, hoping to gain even greater power at the moment of her advancement.
The smooth progression of two aspects filled her with joy, and the merging of those joys should have brought even more delight, but…
Why did it turn out like this?
Now, she could no longer sense the nearly bl**d-connected Witch’s Egg!
The Witch’s Egg must have been devoured by someone! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be feeling a thing.
“d*mn it! d*mn it! It was so close, so close! What went wrong?!”
Yes, just a little more.
Though her plan was somewhat rough and crude, she was very fortunate, so close to success!
However…
She didn’t know which link had gone astray, but everything was ruined at the moment of success.
The horrifying spirit energy fluctuations emanating from the flames even prevented her from daring to delve deeper in search of the Witch’s Egg she had fought so hard to obtain.
“It’s over, all is™ over…” Miss Rabbit muttered, dazed.
A year’s worth of time wasted, going through such turmoil; when her master awakens, she will never have the chance of freedom again.
