Zhang Yu's dream continued, but it seed to be separated into another space, completely turning into a yellowed background. The man's appearance made Lu Yibei unable to focus on the various information revealed in Zhang Yu's dream, only able to fully concentrate on guarding against his every move. Fear was like overgrown thorns, Entanglent around her body, piercing her skin with sharp thorns, greedily extracting her blood, and growing wildly. Seeing the man take a step forward, she retreated three steps, until she had nowhere to retreat, and the stiff, cold touch of the wall ca from her back. She was stunned for a mont before suddenly realizing that sothing seed to be wrong. “......” Wait! Isn't this my dream? So, in this place where I control everything, why should I be afraid of this guy? Wouldn't it be better if I just interrupted the dream? He can't possibly chase out of the dream, can he? With this thought, Lu Yibei was about to interrupt the dream and make a quick escape. Just then, the man seed to sense sothing, took a few steps forward, and called out softly. “Please wait, Calamity Miss, I have sothing to say!” Lu Yibei covered her ears with both hands and blurted out, “I’m not listening, I’m not listening!” The person in front of her was not only the Eclipse Society President, but also a monster who could freely enter and exit other people’s dreams and act freely without the dream creator’s permission. From a certain perspective, such a person was even more terrifying than an evil god. What good words could he say? If she carelessly listened to him, she would lose her sanity in an instant, be controlled by madness and foolishness, and beco a running dog of the black sun. Lu Yibei thought, and was about to interrupt the dream regardless of what the other party said. However, when she activated the Power she had “borrowed” from ngng and prepared to exit the dream, she found that the subtle connection established between her and ngng through the Dependent Mark had been interrupted at so point. In other words, she was no longer in the dream she had created. But if I’m not in the dream I created, where am I now? Lu Yibei thought, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the man who was only two steps away from her. So bad conjectures popped into her mind, and her heartbeat uncontrollably sped up. Hijacking... These two words inexplicably flashed through Lu Yibei’s mind. It was as if a kidnapper, in order to kidnap a certain target, directly packed up the target’s ho along with her, without the target’s knowledge. It was utterly absurd, yet chilling. Could urban legend or Spirit Mark Power really achieve such a degree? Why do I feel like he and I are no longer in the sa dinsion? Lu Yibei thought. Seeing Lu Yibei quiet down, the man remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, “Calamity Miss, I think there might be so misunderstanding ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) between us. I didn’t an to hurt you.” “Then how do you explain Yu Jianqiu’s matter?” Lu Yibei glared at the man and said fiercely, “I finally fell in love once, but you made lose so completely!” Since there was no way to exit the dream through normal ans and she had to face the man, she decided to be a little tougher. At least she had to hold so initiative, right? The man, “???” What explanation? Did you really fall in love? I’ve been wronged... For a mont, he felt as if he had returned to that year when his supervisor first asked him to show his generosity and give the excellent employee quota to a pregnant woman, only for him to be rcilessly fired the next year because his performance was at the bottom. Two words: aggrieved! Taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, the man continued, “Calamity Miss, actually, if you want to know about the Eclipse Society, you can ask directly. I will tell you everything I know and hide nothing. You don’t need to use this thod.” He paused, then seed to rember sothing, frowned slightly, and added, “Of course, the premise is that you cannot reveal certain confidential information to Yinghuo Elder.” Although being the Eclipse Society President was only a part-ti job for him, he was still very professional. He couldn’t bring himself to reveal confidential work information to a competitor. Lu Yibei looked sideways expressionlessly, not speaking, but her eyes fully displayed her thoughts. Her eyes seed to be asking the man, “Are you really that kind-hearted?”
“It seems there are indeed so misunderstandings between us.” The man smiled bitterly, “I can guarantee that we can actually beco friends.”
He wasn’t lying. If Lu Yibei was willing to beco a true “Disaster,” he could not only beco friends with Lu Yibei, but also provide Lu Yibei with all the help he could.
However, a smile on that sickly pale, tired face looked sowhat twisted, making one involuntarily have so bad associations.
“Actually, I am very willing to offer you so help within my capabilities. If you don’t believe , you can ask.”
“Alright then!” Lu Yibei rolled her eyes and said, “If you’re really that sincere, then tell the specific information about Li Gate, how to enter and exit it, and its specific layout!”
Although this request sounded very excessive, she had already left so leeway by not asking the man to directly release her Old Dad.
She was still a little afraid of completely enraging the man, after all, she wasn't sure whether she was currently in the dream she had constructed or had been pulled into another dream by the man.
After hearing Lu Yibei’s words, a look of surprise appeared on the man’s face, which was unexpected for her, “Didn’t Yinghuo Elder tell you about Li Gate?”
Although the Elder faction and the Chairman faction within the Eclipse Society were outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds, secretly fighting for many years, they still belonged to the sa organization, and certain confidential information was shared.
Therefore, the man originally thought that since Lu Yibei was Yinghuo Elder’s confidante, Yinghuo Elder should have already told Lu Yibei about Li Gate.
Just as he knew most of the secrets of the Gray Forest Cabin, Yinghuo Elder also had a deep understanding of Li Gate.
Lu Yibei, “......” If I could, of course I’d want Adult to tell ! But the problem is, I don’t even know Adult.
After muttering to herself, Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “Of course I already know. The reason I asked is just to verify if you were lying to just now. If your answer is different from Yinghuo Adult’s, it ans you have ill intentions!”
Facing this man who was most likely the Eclipse Society President, Lu Yibei did not want her false backing, Yinghuo Elder, to collapse for now.
Just like so ga developers like to shift the conflict between players and planners/operators to between players themselves.
If she could shift the conflict between her and the man to between the man and Yinghuo, it would be all beneficial and no harm to her.
“You’re overthinking it. I actually just took over this job from the previous Chairman not long ago, and I might know less about Li Gate than Yinghuo Elder.” The man explained, “Regarding Li Gate...”
“I don’t know the specifics. As for how to enter it, whenever I need to enter, it just happens to appear behind the next door I’m about to open.”
At this point, he smiled, “You might not believe it, but when I first took over this job, I always felt like every door I saw was Li Gate.”
In fact, after becoming the Eclipse Society President, a series of strongholds, such as Li Gate, that only high-level mbers of the Eclipse Society could enter, would always appear before him exactly when he needed them.
It was as if they were cooperating with his work in a fawning manner.
Lu Yibei, “......” Every door is Li Gate? I also think everyone is a Disaster! If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. There's no need to be so perfunctory with .
“Uh, ask sothing else?” Seeing the strong disgust in Lu Yibei’s eyes, the man seed to be trying his best to prove that he could really help Lu Yibei, and hurriedly said, “For example, the whereabouts of a certain Alchemy material, or a specific Spell, or the specific thod to advance to Calamity?”
As he spoke, his expression inexplicably resembled a strange uncle trying to lure a little loli with candy.
The specific thod to advance to Calamity? Lu Yibei’s heart tightened, and a subtle change appeared in her gaze towards the man.
Although Chatterbox Girl had already pointed out the direction of advancent to her, she was still sowhat confused about the specific operation, still in a state of feeling her way across the river.
If she could learn from the man exactly how to do it...
As soon as this thought arose in her mind, Lu Yibei shook her head fiercely, driving this dangerous thought out of her mind.
This was the naked temptation of the devil, like Satan disguised as a snake tempting Adam and Eve to steal and eat the apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
If she succumbed to the temptation of Power for a mont and believed the man’s nonsense, the outco would definitely be falling into an abyss of no return.
It seed that from Lu Yibei’s series of small actions, he saw what she was thinking. The man revealed a tired smile and slowly began to speak.
“Calamity Miss, do you know the aning of Disaster? Disaster ans natural and man-made Calamity, destined to be Calamity.”
“For you, the thod is very simple. You just need to obey your destiny, cut off the red threads of fate that disturb your destiny, accept the Power that rightfully belongs to you, and you can beco the most powerful tianzai level strange story in this world at any ti.”
After hearing the man’s words, Lu Yibei tilted her head and asked, “Is it really that simple?”
“Theoretically, yes.”
“Sorry, if it’s really that simple, I wouldn’t dare to accept it.” Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, “My Old Dad taught since childhood that there is no free lunch in the world. I suppose the price to pay for obtaining the Power of the strongest urban legend would be even more terrifying, right?”
“So, I’ll find a way myself! Now, I really have to go. Please open the door...”
