The ship docked, and upon reaching Chijia Mountain, before even arriving at the entrance of Sanxia ntal Hospital, more than twenty mbers of the Eclipse Society led by Zhang Yi were already casualties.
Although twenty-odd people might seem insignificant compared to the total of over three hundred Psychic and urban legend, these twenty-odd people were not lost in combat; they lost their combat effectiveness before even encountering the Night Watch mbers stationed at Sanxia ntal Hospital.
Landslides, mudslides, lost dangerous Spiritual Energy items, toxic Alchemy residue—
These are incidents that are usually rare, and even if encountered, they wouldn't necessarily cause Psychic and urban legend to lose their combat effectiveness. Yet, today, by so strange twist of fate, they appeared at the most opportune monts, harming the Psychic or urban legend most susceptible to such corresponding accidental injuries.
Facts prove that hearing sothing a hundred tis truly pales in comparison to seeing it once with your own eyes.
When Lu Yibei initially tried to persuade Ji Yunpei by ntioning phrases like “Lan Yi Party's right-hand man,” “Yinghuo Elder's left and right arms,” and “Elder Council's Zheng Huang Qi,” Ji Yunpei outwardly agreed quite readily, but inwardly, she still harbored so doubts.
Although she was sowhat timid and cowardly, like a punching bag, that didn't an she wasn't intelligent.
However, watching her newly acquainted colleagues withdraw from the scene due to various absurd and bizarre accidents, Ji Yunpei subconsciously moved closer and closer to Lu Yibei.
Only then did she fully believe what Lu Yibei had said.
Even if Miss Blue Yi wasn't a confidante of the Fourth Elder, her actions so far were still preferable to the Chairman's.
Before setting off, Zhang Shuisheng had told them that tonight's operation would definitely succeed as long as they were bold and careful.
Now it seed, this matter was like buying a wingsuit flying gear for 29.9 from Pinduoduo and jumping off a Kua Jiang Bridge after putting it on. Whether it would succeed or not was unknown, but it certainly required guts.
Ji Yunpei thought, then shivered and leaned closer to Lu Yibei, like a frightened little beast seeking shelter and comfort from its mother.
“Lan, Miss Lan, you just said that once the main force starts fighting the Night Watch, that's when I should begin my actions. I'd like to confirm the specific timing of the action.”
“Of course, it's when there are a small number of casualties, and people gradually start to realize that tonight's operation is just a trick to send them to their deaths!” Lu Yibei explained.
Starting too early, the vast majority of mbers would not have wavered in their resolve, making them difficult to incite. Starting too late, everyone would be dead; what would there be to incite then? Corpses?
Although Lu Yibei had heard that in the Night Watch of Xiangxi, almost every operative was skilled in corpse-driving, as an operative of Hua City Night Watch, she had not unlocked this skill.
“Oh.” Ji Yunpei nodded, responding softly.
Although she still felt that she hadn't fully understood what Lu Yibei said and might not grasp the timing well, Lu Yibei was her savior now. No matter what Lu Yibei said, she just had to nod!
“Here, take this.” Lu Yibei pulled out a bulging large backpack from her God Kingdom Prototype, handing it to Ji Yunpei and saying, “Now, you can pretty much blend into the front-middle section of the team.”
Lu Yibei and Ju ng's squad, due to their overall “weak” strength, were positioned towards the back of the entire Mountain City Xuri Technology team. However, according to Lu Yibei's plan, to seize the best opportunity to incite the Eclipse Society mbers to switch sides, the most suitable position should be in the front-middle section.
The front-middle position allows for a relatively clear observation of the situation of the skirmishes with the Night Watch mbers ahead, while also preventing one from being too close to the battle circle and getting riddled with holes in an instant.
Very stable!
Ji Yunpei glanced at the backpack in Lu Yibei's hand, and a huge question mark appeared in her mind.
Blend into the crowd?
This wasn't part of the action plan when it was explained earlier!
How did a good savior suddenly turn into a death-The King of Hell (death-The King of Hell) (The King of Hell)?
She suddenly felt an urge to shake her head.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ji Yunpei weakly asked Lu Yibei, “Lan, Miss Blue Yi, may I ask, what's in this bag?”
“Just so trinkets!” Lu Yibei said in a flat tone, “They can help observe the situation ahead, and also protect your safety when necessary.”
“Oh, and this dog, take it with you too.”
Saying that, Lu Yibei unzipped the backpack and showed Ji Yunpei a whole backpack full of miniature Paper Cicada Immortals, then activated her Spirit Mark to summon the Little White Dog.
Seeing the Paper Cicada Immortals in Lu Yibei's backpack, Ju ng frowned slightly.
You scoundrel! Tricking the Little Girl again, aren't you?
She knew very well what was inside Lu Yibei's Paper Cicada Immortals and how powerful those Alchemy Dirty Bombs were, and that dog was even more powerful than the Alchemy Dirty Bombs!
What's the difference between carrying these things and running around with a ballistic missile launcher?
Just thinking about Ji Yunpei carrying a whole backpack of Paper Cicada Immortals and blending into the crowd, her mind couldn't help but conjure up news related to “terrorist suicide attacks.”
“Protect my safety?” Ji Yunpei looked at the Paper Cicada Immortals in the backpack, then at the cute little dog at her feet, and suddenly felt a bit more confident about infiltrating the front of the team.
“Yes!” Lu Yibei nodded. “Later, if you encounter danger, just open your backpack and shout the incantation I tell you, and these little trinkets will protect your safety!”
“What incantation?” Ji Yunpei tilted her head.
“Flickering firelight, bewildering chaos, representing Blue Yi, punishing you!”
The first half of this incantation was what Lu Yibei vaguely heard when Chatterbox Girl was modifying her Spirit Mark, and the second half was purely made up.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunpei's face flushed slightly, and she mumbled, “Do I really have to shout this incantation?”
Shouting such an incantation in front of so many people felt incredibly shaful.
“Yes, you must shout it, and you must shout it loudly.” Lu Yibei said seriously, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.
Hearing this, Ji Yunpei remained silent for a mont, then, with a complex expression, took the backpack from Lu Yibei's hand and turned to walk towards the front of the team. A few seconds later, a white shadow arced through the air, and the Little White Dog, kicked by Lu Yibei, landed steadily on her shoulder.
After Ji Yunpei had walked far away, Ju ng squinted at Lu Yibei, “You scoundrel, I rember, your little trinkets don't need any incantation to activate, do they?”
“They do, why wouldn't they!” Lu Yibei retorted, “From such a distance, and with the dark sky, I can't see the situation ahead clearly. If Ji Yunpei doesn't shout it out, how will I know she's in danger?”
“But you don't need to shout such a strange incantation, do you?” Ju ng pouted, “Honestly, it doesn't matter what you shout, right?”
Lu Yibei scratched the back of her head, “Don't you think it would be interesting to see her shout out those shaful lines?”
Who could refuse to watch a soft Miss blush in embarrassnt for free?
Ju ng looked Lu Yibei up and down, then rolled her eyes, “You scoundrel, I think your psychology is getting more and more twisted now.”

Lu Yibei frowned and said, “When you look at her, don't you feel an uncontrollable urge to bully her? Like, like older siblings wanting to prank their younger siblings.”
Ju ng spread her hands, “I don't feel that way at all. Isn't she just a Little Girl who's cute but otherwise very ordinary in all aspects?”
Lu Yibei opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but then closed it.
She suddenly realized that sothing seed wrong!
When she faced Ji Yunpei, she clearly had a very strong, uncontrollable urge to bully Ji Yunpei. Logically, even if others didn't feel it as strongly as she did, they should have similar thoughts, especially Slly Girl, who loves to stir up trouble; she should have the sa impulse as her.
Could it be that only I have this feeling?
Could it be related to the inexplicable sense of familiarity that arose when I heard the na “Ji Yunpei” just now?
But where exactly have I seen her?
“Boom—!”
Just as Lu Yibei was thinking, a sudden loud noise ca from ahead, interrupting her thoughts.
Accompanying the loud noise, the ground in the distance seed to be violently impacted, and the entire valley trembled along with it.
Before the trembling valley could return to calm, a hearty laugh echoed through the sky.
“Hoo hoo hoo ha ha ha—!”
Amidst that laughter, a figure enveloped in scarlet light soared into the sky from within the distant Sanxia ntal Hospital, then descended like a teor, smashing towards the Eclipse Society mbers at the very front of the formation.
The mont that figure landed, a colossal phantom rose from thin air.
A scarlet robe, a hideous face, four arms as thick as pillars, standing on the hillside in front of Sanxia ntal Hospital, like a god descending to earth, awe-inspiring, blocking the path of the Eclipse Society mbers.
The dozens-of-ters-long dark broadsword slashed down, instantly stirring up a storm in the mountains. Within the wind, faint dark shadows moved back and forth, as if the gates of hell had opened, and evil spirits poured out.
A fierce wind lashed across their faces, carrying the strong scent of crushed vegetation and blood, like a gauze curtain covering the earth being lifted, causing the visibility in the mountain forest to rapidly decrease.
Changes are always sudden.
With a single strike of the dark broadsword, the 10th group of Xuri Biotechnology, the few squads at the very front of the team, suffered heavy casualties.
Only after that person, the number one of Mountain City Night Watch, rushed into the front of the raiding party, and blood splattered five steps away, did Zhang Yi's shouts finally echo through the communication devices of the various squads.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare to engage!”
Lu Yibei spat out the grass Crumbs with a blank expression, stared at the communication device for a few seconds, rolled her eyes, and tossed it aside with a flick of her hand.
Get lost, useless thing!
Withdrawing her gaze, Lu Yibei turned her head to look at Ju ng and asked, “That guy seems very powerful. Do you think you can beat him?”
“You scoundrel, I think your question is very disrespectful to .” Ju ng said with a dark face, “He's just a pseudo-Calamity. How can he be compared to Sister ?”
“If Sister wanted to deal with him, it would be as simple as a fully-abled adult rushing into a nursery and slaughtering everyone.”
Hearing this, Lu Yibei breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had heard from Jiang Li that Night Watch operative Zhong Huai of Mountain City Night Watch already possessed strength very close to Calamity, and was very likely to beco the next Night Watch Guardian, she hadn't expected Zhong Huai to be so strong.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from him were at least 5.324 tis the level of Xin Tu!
If Zhong Huai were to unleash his full power, the battle would probably end before Ji Yunpei even began to incite the emotions of the Eclipse Society mbers.
If Slly Girl could suppress Zhong Huai and stall him until she had loaded all the defecting Eclipse Society mbers into the God /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Kingdom Prototype, that would be ideal.
However, just as Lu Yibei's hanging heart settled, she heard Ju ng beside her say, “But why should I fight him? Right now, I just want to take advantage of the chaos to pull out that kid and beat him up!”
“No, my good Sister, now...” Lu Yibei was about to beg Ju ng for help, but halfway through her words, she seed to have thought of sothing else, and a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.
“That's a great idea, Slly Girl!”
Ju ng, “???”
What the heck? One second she's calling 'good Sister,' and the next she's back to 'Slly Girl'? I was waiting for her to beg ...
“That guy is indeed hateful, and getting a good beating is not unfair at all. Personally, I unconditionally support you in doing whatever you want, but...” Lu Yibei paused, then changed her tone, “While you're beating him, could you do a small favor?”
“You say help, and I have to...”
“Five 648s, plus a one-day couple's amusent park trip!” Lu Yibei said faintly.
“Tell , how can I help?!”
“It's simple!” Lu Yibei said, “You just need to not beat him in front of so many people. Instead, abduct him first, then beat him up. The further away, the better.”
“That should be easy for you, right?”
“That's it?” Ju ng tilted her head and said, “That's too simple, so simple that I suspect your five 648 units are Vietnase dong.”
“Absolutely Z Country currency!” Lu Yibei patted her chest and guaranteed, “If I lie to you, may I be punished to never be able to change back in this lifeti.”
“Alright! I'll trust you this once.”
Saying that, Ju ng jogged forward two or three steps, leaped up, and in the blink of an eye, her figure transford into a glossy black Magpie, flying into the night.
Watching Ju ng fly far away, Lu Yibei waited for a mont, calculating that Ju ng had probably already abducted Zhang Yi. Then, she put on the Rouge Transformation · Incantation-Stabilized Mask, took a deep breath, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
“Oh no, oh no! The Young Director ran away!”
As her voice spread through the valley, the figures of the Eclipse Society mbers all froze, and a thoughtful expression appeared on their faces.
In the distance, Dorees, leading the mbers sent by the Chairman of Mountain City Eclipse Society, had just arrived near Sanxia ntal Hospital according to Zhang Yu's plan. Before she could even observe the one-sided battle below, she heard the shouts echoing throughout the valley.
“Did you hear? Our plan was leaked, the Night Watch was well-prepared, the Young Director got the intel, abandoned us, and ran off by himself!”
Dorees,
Why does that voice sound a bit like Teacher?
But,
Aren't those the people from the Elder faction?
