Chapter 95: Where Are You? Do You Want to Go Send Them Off Together?
A moment ago, just after Shuo E successfully escaped with Miss Rabbit, they approached the almost ruined swimming pool.
Luxianbei gazed at the disappearing figures of the two, sighed silently, “That was close, for a moment I thought those two guys were going to be blown to pieces, and my whole night would have been in vain.”
“Although I was a bit vengeful and slightly too harsh, who knew she would be completely defenseless? White Puppy’s charm is really that strong?”
While muttering to herself, she sent a message to Du Sixian through her familial bond mark.
“Little Du, the target has already left the swimming pool area, can you get everyone ready to intercept them?”
“Received, High Person!”
“By the way, remember to remind everyone, everything should go as previously agreed, keep a good distance, just scare them a bit; make sure not to let their bad state trigger their instincts and go hunting.”
“Understood!”
Although Miss Rabbit was seriously injured, she wasn’t so easy to k*ll. If they were forced into a corner and fought back, they might take away a lot of Huacheng urban legends.
Moreover, they still needed to have them help me infiltrate the Solar Eclipse Society!
Luxianbei thought, putting away the Ling Tai Purification, and pulled out her phone from her jacket pocket, reopening “Love and Magical Girls” to replay the animation.
However, after watching only half, she put the phone away and sighed, “Ah—! How empty I feel!”
Not being able to watch the storyline animation immediately, even with the replay of most content, it no longer had the same feeling as before.
So dull!
It was like reading doujinshi during sage time.
This kind of thing could only be done by the strongest people of this generation!
Luxianbei thought, after putting her phone away, she skillfully took out the Zhuyan altered spell formula mask from the God Realm Prototype and put it on, and the next moment, a light sound of bones reshaping could be heard.
“Yo yo, look who these two guys are? Why so miserable?”
The woman spoke in a frivolous tone, swinging her pitch-black metal stick lightly as if warming up before a fight, slowly approaching Shuo E and Miss Rabbit.
Facing this unknown woman with substantial spirit energy fluctuations, Shuo E felt tense, every muscle in his body tight as if about to cramp, even his breathing had unconsciously quickened.
In full power, they wouldn’t fear an enemy of this level.
Unfortunately, after the encounter with Calamity, Miss Rabbit was seriously wounded, and under the chase and blockade of Calamity, Shuo E’s spirit energy was nearly depleted.
As if sensing Shuo E’s unease, the woman raised an eyebrow, her expression unchanged, “We are all on the same side, don’t be so nervous!”
Seeing that Shuo E’s expression showed no signs of easing, she added, “Your name is Shuo E, right? You don’t know me, but I know you. You’re the first creation of the Saints’ Plan secretly initiated by the Elders’ Council, right?”
“Let me think, if the information isn’t wrong, until now, not many from your batch of creations have survived. After so many years, you should be the only one left, right?”
After the woman threw out a series of internal Solar Eclipse Society information, Shuo E’s expression slightly softened, but his eyes were filled with strong suspicion.
Who is this woman? Is she a member of the Solar Eclipse Society? Shuo E wondered.
The information leaked in her speech, while not absolute core secrets of the Solar Eclipse Society, was indeed hard to access for non-members.
Seeing Shuo E in silence, the woman knelt in front of him, waved her hand in front of his face, “Hey hey hey! What are you dazing off for? I’ve said so much, don’t you even realize your identity?”
Shuo E opened his mouth, wanting to speak but fell silent.
For things that cannot be absolutely confirmed, he would rather keep his mouth shut than easily jump to a conclusion. This was a concept ingrained in him since he could remember.
Seeing this, the woman crossed her arms, pouted, and shook her head, “I’ve long heard that the first creations of the Saints’ Plan used perverted urban legends as templates. It seems what’s said is not false, really not very smart.”
“Forget it! Let me introduce myself, I’m Lan Yi, Lan as in blue sky, Yi as in suitable. Under Elder Sukra of the Elders’ Council’s second seat…”
Before the woman could finish her words, Shuo E suddenly changed his expression, jumping back and creating distance between them.
Seeing Shuo E like he was facing a great enemy, Miss Rabbit raised an eyebrow and quietly asked, “Who is she, why are you so nervous?”
As if worried that Lan Yi might suddenly attack, Shuo E glanced at Miss Rabbit behind him and quickly returned his gaze to Lan Yi.
“This Lan Yi used to be Elder Sukra’s confidante, Elder Sukra treated her like his own, nurtured her wholeheartedly, but after she grew up, she actually betrayed the Elder and sided with the chairman. Five years ago, she disappeared during a conflict with the Siye Society. Elder Sukra thought she was already dead… unexpectedly.”
Hearing this, Miss Rabbit frowned slightly, “So she’s on the chairman’s side?”
If that’s the case, this woman suddenly blocking their way right now, the situation might not be much better than if they were stopped by Calamity.
“Correction!” Lan Yi interrupted their conversation, “I didn’t betray; I just followed the instinct of resonating with power!”
“Have you heard of the Venus Satellite urban legend? It talks about how certain astronomers in history observed a Venus satellite with a record of observations lasting 78 years, and then that satellite just vanished into thin air.”
As she spoke, she made a fist with one hand, raised a finger with the other, circling around the fist, outlining a trajectory that gradually flew away, and finally made a gesture of explosion, letting her hands fall.
“That old stubborn should’ve figured that I’d resonate with power one day and leave him behind, right?”
“How dare you! What old stubborn? You must show respect to the Elder!” Shuo E blurted out.
“Tsk!” Lan Yi pouted, “No wonder you’re a creation of the Saints’ Plan, really the most loyal dog of the Elders’ Council! Come, give Sister a shout, and Sister will give you some candy.”
Just as Lan Yi was speaking, Miss Rabbit suddenly twitched slightly.
Hearing the word “dog,” she felt a wave of discomfort wash over her, as if the bizarre destructive spirit energy that had intruded into her body during the explosion started acting up again.
Noticing Miss Rabbit’s abnormality, Shuo E stole a glance at her before turning his gaze back to Lan Yi, coldly asking, “What exactly do you want?”
“I surrender!” Lan Yi placed a hand on her forehead, speaking impatiently, “Of course, I’m here to help you! In your current state, if I wanted to make a move, you would have probably died three times already, right?”
“Help us?” Miss Rabbit narrowed her eyes at the alluring woman in front of them, suspiciously asking, “You, someone on the chairman’s side, would be that kind-hearted?”
“Believe it or not!” Lan Yi shrugged nonchalantly, “If you don’t trust me, I’ll leave.”
“However, I estimate that the new king of urban legends in Huacheng should be chasing after you soon. Take care!”
“With that, farewell!”
As she said this, she turned around, waved her hand back at Miss Rabbit and Shuo E, and walked forward along the asphalt road.
In that moment of turning, she silently sent information to Du Sixian through her familial bond mark.
“Du Sixian, the pursuers can be arranged now!”
“Understood, High Person! I’ll take care of it right away!”
You want to be the guides but aren’t doing it properly, huh?
Then I can only use some extreme measures!
So, after Du Sixian received the information conveyed through the familial bond mark, within a minute, dozens of urban legend spirit energy fluctuations surged into Shuo E and Miss Rabbit’s perception range.
Noticing those spirit energy fluctuations, Shuo E’s expression instantly turned grim, quietly asking Miss Rabbit on his back, “They’re coming. What should we do?”
Miss Rabbit was silent for a moment, looking at Lan Yi’s blurred outline in the rain, biting her lip she said, “Should we follow that woman?”
Although she still found Lan Yi’s identity suspicious and untrustworthy up to this point, after experiencing Calamity’s methods, she understood that if Calamity didn’t want them to leave Huacheng alive tonight, they would have no means of escape.
One path leads to certain d*ath, and the other a slim chance of survival; she still knew how to choose.
After hearing Miss Rabbit’s words, Shuo E hesitated for a few seconds, nodded; then in the next moment, his figure flashed and he sped forward, chasing after the increasingly distant Lan Yi.
One hour later.
On a small path leading outside Huacheng in the mountains.
The rain was gradually weakening, light droplets pattered against the thick treetops, creating a gentle sound.
Under the tree canopy, on a small path almost obscured by dense vegetation, Lan Yi walked with her hands behind her back, gripping the pitch-black metal stick horizontally, accompanying her lightly bouncing footsteps, her single tail bouncing up and down cheerfully along with her shirt.
Behind her, Miss Rabbit, lying on Shuo E’s shoulder, was focusing on reviving her core while vigilantly watching Lan Yi’s back, trying to engage her in conversation from time to time to probe her true intentions.
“Why are you in Huacheng? EMM.” Luxianbei smacked her lips, “It’s a bit embarrassing to say, some years back I was tricked by those scoundrels from the Siye Society and ended up locked in Yun Kang Psychiatric Hospital for quite a while. I only recently found a chance to escape.”
“Hehe, maybe it was my acting skills that convinced them that I had been successfully subverted and had sided with the Siye Society? They actually let their guard down, how foolish!”
From the memory she got from the Proxy Player Sister, Lan Yi had been killed by a Siye Society operative in Moon City, not far from Huacheng; it wasn’t impossible that she was captured and locked up in Yun Kang Psychiatric Hospital.
Hearing this, Miss Rabbit gently poked Shuo E’s back, wanting to confirm.
However,
“What are you poking me for? Are you uncomfortable? Should we take a break?”
Luxianbei, “d*mn it! How long have you two been together? You even lack this little bit of coordination?”
Miss Rabbit, “At a time like this, should I be touched or angry? Forget it, I shouldn’t have asked him!”
They continued forward, gradually climbing the mountain ridge before following the path on the shady side of the mountain downhill.
After a long silence, Miss Rabbit could no longer hold back and probed again.
“Why save you? It was just convenient; besides, I haven’t been in touch with my previous colleagues after being locked up for so long, so I was hoping you could introduce me!”
“Oh right, after I first came out, I went to the previous base of the Solar Eclipse Society in Huacheng, only to find it had long been destroyed. Do you have any leads?”
“Uh…” Miss Rabbit paused before seriously saying, “It’s probably the doing of Calamity.”
Actually, she didn’t know if it was Calamity’s doing, but she thought it was better to pin the blame on Calamity!
If it could lead to Calamity gaining more enemies, that’d be even better.
“Ever since she became the king of urban legends in Huacheng, she has been eliminating rivals; it’s not that she doesn’t dare to turn against the Siye Society; probably, there wouldn’t be any other factions left in Huacheng.”
Luxianbei, “???”
“I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t say that randomly, okay?!”
“Calamity did it? I don’t think so! Is she really that capable?”
“Heh!” Miss Rabbit sneered, “I advise you not to underestimate her; if she goes all out, she could possibly hurt Calamity.”
Upon hearing this, Luxianbei felt a wave of satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad, the kid loves to hear it, keep saying more!
But when have you seen me go all out?
I clearly have many methods I haven’t used; you’ll be unable to bear it, right?
Luxianbei thought, nodding, “Thanks for the reminder! But this isn’t enough to repay my sister’s saving grace!”
“Also, if you really want to repay me, and are interested, you could leave the Elders’ Council and join my Lan Yi Party!”
From Lan Yi’s memories, just before she died, she suspected that the reason she fell into the trap set by the Siye Society was because a member on the chairman’s side leaked information.
And she was harmed by the chairman’s side purely because, after betraying the Elders’ Council, she hadn’t fully devoted herself to the chairman’s side and even had intentions of developing a third faction within the Solar Eclipse Society.
Historically, there had been instances where both the Elders’ and Chairman’s factions simultaneously declined while a third faction emerged; however, no matter when, that third faction eventually becomes a victim of the struggle between the Chairman’s and Elders’ factions.
But this was exactly why Luxianbei chose Lan Yi as her identity to infiltrate the Solar Eclipse Society.
This identity wouldn’t be too close to the Chairman’s faction nor too close to the Elders’ Council, minimizing the risk of exposure.
Although there was a bit of danger considering Lan Yi’s actions, she wasn’t limited to just one identity; if this disguise became unmanageable, she could just switch to another.
Moreover, a mutual thorn in the eye could potentially be turned into a common target to recruit under suitable conditions!
Luxianbei thought.
“Lan Yi Party?” Miss Rabbit voiced her confusion by Shuo E’s ear.
“I heard she once wanted to develop a faction independent of the Chairman and Elders’ Council. I didn’t expect it to be true,” Shuo E explained softly.
Miss Rabbit, “…”
Do you want to go send them off together?
Who would dare respond to an invitation like that?
This kind of thing is like when your parents are arguing over who the head of the family is, and you jump in to say, “That’s right, it’s me!”
It’s simply a perfect way to get oneself killed!
You could at least say the family head is the dog in the house, right?
At least you wouldn’t get killed on the spot, would you?
