**Chapter 75: Finally Found You!**
Calamity: “Are you sure it’s a hand-held tractor?”
Xiao Cangshu: “It should be, right? Look, it’s like this [image][image]”
The image shows a small hand-held tractor that has been twisted and deformed, and in the bottom right corner of the picture, there is a man wearing a black trench coat with a swollen purple forehead.
“Hiss—!” After seeing the image sent by Fang Ji, Luxianbei gasped, “It really is.”
“That’s outrageous! We’re in the city center, where did a hand-held tractor come from?”
Jingyi Apartment Complex had previously seen people throwing things from the building; Luxianbei had witnessed this many times.
From paper balls to kitchen waste and even discarded small appliances, the variety was bizarre.
The most outrageous incident was when an unopened can of cola almost hit an old man playing chess below.
After learning about the situation, Luxianbei had sent her little urban legend to lock onto the household throwing things downstairs and delivered their discarded items to her bed promptly at 4:44 AM, along with a segment of an urban legend performance to help them wet the bed.
After a while, there had been no more incidents of high-altitude throwing in the Jingyi Apartment Complex.
However, even someone like Luxianbei, who had seen various types of high-altitude throws, had never heard of anyone throwing a hand-held tractor downstairs.
She even suspected this was a m*rder attempt against that man in black!
After silently mourning for the man in black for a few seconds, she typed and sent a message to Fang Ji, asking, “Hello, is there any problem? May I ask, did he have any special reaction before getting knocked out?”
Xiao Cangshu: “When I mentioned that I knew Gu He from the Secret Society, he suddenly turned around, widened his eyes, and locked eyes with me for a moment, maybe trying to see something in my eyes? Then… then he got knocked out.”
“…”
Oh? His reaction seemed to be significant after hearing that?
This suggests that he had close contact with at least one of the Secret Society and Hu Chuan! However…
Did he really just lock eyes with Fang Ji and then get knocked out?
Luxianbei frowned and recalled what Sheim had just told her about Fang Ji’s strange ability, and she suddenly understood.
If locking eyes with Fang Ji truly drained one’s luck…
Let alone a hand-held tractor falling in the city, even in an open wilderness, one could be struck by meteors, aircraft debris, or alien warships.
As the saying goes, “When fortune favors someone, everything can help.”
When someone’s luck is exceptionally good, anything can happen.
“…”
d*mn lucky bastards, really envious!
I need to get Fang Ji to help me draw a card…
Someone like her might even draw characters from the limited pool due to system errors in the permanent pool.
Luxianbei thought, picked up her phone, and typed a message to Fang Ji.
Calamity: “Dear user, congratulations! You have completed the prerequisite task for the hidden conditions. Assistance personnel will arrive shortly to help you complete the subsequent tasks. During this period, please protect the target that triggers the hidden conditions.”
Now that he’s knocked out, things will be much easier…
Going over there later to pull his consciousness into the dream created by Meng Meng’s powers should reveal his memories related to the Secret Society.
That way, I won’t have to waste spirit energy using my charm ability and [Royal Authority] to intimidate him into affecting his mind, Luxianbei thought.
Xiao Cangshu: “Oh, speaking of which… Miss Guide, I just remembered that the rescue lady you summoned went missing after I passed out. You should contact her quickly; she might be in danger!”
Luxianbei: “…” Is this kid actually kind? Even after being ‘kidnapped,’ she still has time to worry about others?
Calamity: “Dear user, don’t worry, she’s fine. If you don’t mind, I can contact her shortly and have her continue helping you with the tasks. What do you think?”
Xiao Cangshu: “That’s great, then please do!”
Calamity: “It is my honor to serve you! [Pink-haired girl smile]”
Good! This means I won’t have to expend a lot of spirit energy to change my appearance… Luxianbei added silently in her mind.
Putting down her phone, she quickened her pace and caught up with Sheim a short distance ahead, patting him on the shoulder, “Old She, how much further?”
“To Miss Qianqian, we’re almost there; just turn left at the next crossroads and cross a small alley,” Sheim replied.
“Okay!” Luxianbei nodded, “When we get there, you and Salih don’t show yourselves yet. You’ve already scared Fang Ji, let me approach her first, and if needed, I’ll call you.”
“But…” Sheim hesitated, turning to look at Luxianbei with concern, “Holy Son, that guy’s abilities are very bizarre; will it be safe for you to approach him like this…?”
Luxianbei shot him a glance, her expression unchanged, “Do you think this Holy Son will be affected by her messy abilities?”
“Subordinate dares not!” Sheim said, looking anxious.
Indeed, the last time that guy was with the Holy Son, his strange abilities seemed suppressed and didn’t manifest at all.
It seemed that even if that guy could drain others’ miracle seeds, he couldn’t possibly drain the Holy Son’s!
I really overthought it… Sheim thought.
“Then just do as I say!” Luxianbei said coldly, “This matter is within my control.”
“Understood!”
—————
Five minutes later.
Under Sheim’s guidance, Luxianbei successfully found Fang Ji near the residential area close to the Endless Night Street.
From a distance, she saw Fang Ji’s slender figure and the unconscious man in black beside her. Luxianbei dismissed Sheim and Salih and approached her alone.
……
The dim yellow light of the streetlamp spilled onto the narrow, secluded street as the evening wind stirred the debris on the ground, swirling around a twisted hand-held tractor like an abstract sculpture. Fang Ji sat on the ground, head bowed, hugging her knees, quietly waiting like a lost child.
After a moment, a shadow entered her line of sight. She looked up and recognized the face of the visitor, showing a smile.
“Ah, it’s the rescue lady; you finally came! I’ve been waiting for you! Fortunately, no one passed by here during this time; otherwise, if someone asked, I wouldn’t know how to answer!”
Don’t worry, no one will come ask you, no matter how long you wait; this is luck… Luxianbei thought silently, avoiding Fang Ji’s gaze and looking at the unconscious man in black on the ground.
“Well, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve already understood the situation from your guide. I will now start obtaining information from the target to help you complete the task; please wait a moment…”
“By the way, I need you to protect me while I obtain the information, so I won’t be disturbed,” Luxianbei said.
“But, rescue lady…” Fang Ji looked worried, “What if I’m not strong enough?”
“Don’t worry, you can do it,” Luxianbei replied calmly, “If someone comes to interfere, just look into their eyes, strike a pose that feels most imposing, and loudly command them to leave.”
Mainly just look into their eyes… Luxianbei added silently in her mind.
“…” Fang Ji hesitated for a moment before saying earnestly, “Okay, I understand. Don’t worry, rescue lady!”
“Mm!”
Luxianbei nodded, expressionless as she stepped forward, extending a finger to tap the man’s forehead, closing her eyes, and quietly activating the ability borrowed from Meng Meng.
The air vibrated with spirit energy fluctuations, sending ripples like waves.
Invisible pale tendrils slowly rose from behind Luxianbei, stretching forward to penetrate the man in black’s brow.
Thus, the dream began to construct, yesterday gradually replaying.
————
Before her eyes, light and shadow twisted as if falling into a crevice between reality and darkness.
When her vision became clear again, Luxianbei saw a palace with wooden floors filled with desks and cushions, surrounded by ancient decorations with subtle hints of Daoist culture.
This place looks… a bit like a palace in Dachunyang Palace?
But she didn’t know which one it was or its purpose.
To her surprise, this guy turned out to be a disciple of Dachunyang Palace… Luxianbei thought.
As the saying goes, “What one thinks by day is dreamt by night.”
The principle of using the dream entry ability to read the target’s memories is to replay the events the target has experienced in dream form.
Now that the man in black was dreaming of Dachunyang Palace, it meant he had indeed stayed there!
Of course, it couldn’t be 100% certain; after all, no one has stipulated that palaces in other places can’t be decorated like this; it would need a little verification to confirm…
Luxianbei thought, her mind shifting. The scene before her began to change.
As the light and shadow briefly distorted, figures appeared out of nowhere in front of the desks, all dressed in the common Daoist robes of Dachunyang Palace disciples. A thick white fog covered the faces of everyone, obscuring their appearances, except for a man in his early thirties in the corner.
He wore a moon-white Daoist robe, had his hair tied up high, decorated with a jade hairpin, and had a white face without a beard, exuding an air of elegance. But upon closer inspection, one could still see that his features bore a resemblance to the man in black—at least seven or eight points alike.
Wow, after changing clothes, I almost didn’t recognize him! Luxianbei thought, changing the dream again.
In an instant, the previously motionless scene became animated.
The figures in the palace were moving around, sometimes playing and chasing each other, sometimes gathering in small groups, whispering to one another in a chaotic manner, reminiscent of a school class during a break.
However, their faces were all shrouded in thick fog, obscuring their features and giving the atmosphere an eerie quality.
In the midst of this, a figure that looked like a girl approached the man in black, leaned into his ear, and whispered something, causing a grave expression to emerge on his face.
Noticing this subtle change, Luxianbei’s thoughts shifted, and the scene before her seemed to rewind rapidly as if the playback key had been pressed, going back to the moment the girl approached the man in black, then silently increasing the volume.
“Song Wei, Gu He wants to see you at Chi Li Hall after early class…”
Upon hearing this, Luxianbei’s pupils trembled, “!!!”
Early class, Chi Li Hall, Gu He?
This place is probably where the early classes were held in Qing Hui Hall, definitely within Dachunyang Palace.
So, Hu Chuan is hiding in Dachunyang Palace?
Haha, finally found you!
Luxianbei thought as her mind shifted again, hastening toward the moment when the man in black would meet Hu Chuan…
