The system had witnessed Night Parade of One Hundred Demons many tis; passing through the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the scale of the towering waves stirred up along the way was just child's play.
When the world was about to be destroyed and demons danced wildly, it had even seen Night Parade of One Hundred Demons covering the entire equator.
At that ti, a deafening roar ca from afar.
Huge rocks broke off from the mountains on the coastline, plunging into the turbulent sea. Terrifying figures constantly soared from the sea or the mountains, challenging the existence that organized the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
Tens of thousands of tons of seawater, rocks, and soil flew into the sky as if gravity had disappeared.
In the sky, leaden dark clouds mixed with fire pressed low, as if the firmant was about to collapse at any mont. Through the vast cracks above, huge figures could be seen wandering under the dim stars.
Accompanied by the colossal sounds of gods and demons fighting, countless corpses fell from the sky. The sll of ash and dust, accompanied by howling hurricanes, drifted into the distance, as if they would drift all the way to the end of the world...
But the woman it had once held great expectations for just sat on the mountaintop, watching the creatures suffer, and complained to herself, "Damn it, why is love and magical girls offline? I haven't gotten the Z Country female knight and maid limited edition from this gacha pool yet!"
...
"System, system?"
It wasn't until Gu Qianqian's call sounded that the system pulled its thoughts back from those apocalyptic scenes.
"Huh? Oh! Gu Qianqian, let tell you, this matter must be settled today. If they don't cooperate, we'll use so tough thods. There's nothing that can't be solved with a fist..."
"System... what nonsense are you talking about? They've already agreed to take next ti!" Gu Qianqian interrupted.
"What? How did you get them to agree?" The system asked in surprise.
"Well..." Gu Qianqian picked up a badge made from the remains of a urban legend in her hand, looked at it, and mumbled, "I just told them to take along to play, and then applied to join that, that... the Demoness Warrior Group whose na is too long to rember, and they agreed!"
"I'm now the 107th gold-dal fighter of the Demoness Warrior Group! Just now Maotuan (Hairball) Leader even praised for having good foresight and a bright future!"
"..."
Sothing feels wrong?
There are only a little over a hundred urban legend in total, and you're ranked 107th. What's there to be proud of?
The system muttered inwardly, glanced at the Little Freak who were swaggering away in the distance, and said irritably, "So, you're their little brother now?"
"No!" Gu Qianqian retorted unhappily, "Maotuan (Hairball) Leader said that in our Demoness Warrior Group whose na is too long to rember, every urban legend is equal, and everyone is a warrior loyal to the Devil Woman! We are comrades with a common revolutionary ideal!"
System, "..."
Forget it, whatever. As the saying goes, the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal. This doesn't count as working for the Disaster.
As long as the Disaster can clash with another world-destroying factor, that's enough!
The next step is to encourage them to expand the scale of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. With a powerful fighter like Gu Qianqian around, covering half the urban area first should be no problem. The system thought.

Nine o'clock sharp in the evening.
Lu Yibei and the mbers of Qi Dong's team, a total of six people, got into an armored vehicle disguised as a transport truck and headed towards the Jinsha Hotel with excited hearts.
Qi Dong had already contacted his colleagues at the Jinsha Hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel, the driver drove the vehicle directly into the hotel warehouse entrance. As soon as the group got out of the car, they saw a man with a cloth bag at his feet, who was already waiting.
Seeing Qi Dong, the man's face broke into a smile, and he hurried forward, shaking Qi Dong's hand vigorously. "Brother, I finally see you again. Thanks to you last ti, the urban legend in the hotel were cleared out, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost this job."
"That's just part of our job," Qi Dong replied in a muffled voice.
The man was about forty years old, tall and quite handso, wearing a black professional suit with a chest badge that read "Logistics Manager · Lu Lei".
Lu Yibei squinted his eyes slightly, sizing up the man who ca to et them, while secretly complaining inwardly.
So the urban legend in the Jinsha Hotel had already been dealt with by the Special Operations Team. No wonder I haven't heard anyone talking about the urban legend here for a long ti.
Two years ago, when Lu Yibei was still in his third year of high school, there was a urban legend incident at the Jinsha Hotel. A Miss from out of town who was traveling inexplicably left her room in the middle of the night and then disappeared.
Although it had beco normal for a person or two to occasionally disappear after the night began to lengthen, the scene of that Miss's disappearance was too bizarre.
When she left the room, she didn't look normal. When she walked, it was as if she was being held up by sothing, her hands always held in front of her in a very awkward posture.
And when she left the hotel accommodation area and took the elevator down to the underground parking lot, the mont the elevator doors opened, she was like she was pushed, flying directly out of the elevator, and then she was dragged by sothing, crying and struggling, until she disappeared into the blind spot of the surveillance cara.
Since then, the rumor that there was a urban legend hidden in the Jinsha Hotel spread. Lu Yibei himself heard about it several tis from his classmates during that year of high school.
Looking at it this way, the Night Watch still has so use?
While Lu Yibei was thinking, Lu Lei opened the cloth bag he brought with him, took out a few uniforms from inside, and handed them to Qi Dong.
"Brother, although I'm very grateful for your help in eliminating the urban legend in our hotel, there are more guests now and a lot of traffic. It's inevitable that you'll be seen if you go in like this."
"I'm worried about scaring the guests, so please, could you disguise yourselves a little?"
"Oh, and the suite you ntioned is on the top floor, 2305. Indeed, a group of young people have booked it for a party. I will arrange for your people to replace the service staff who are currently serving them later."
Hearing this, Qi Dong pondered ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) for a mont, then nodded. "No problem!"
The Night Watch's operations were originally ant to avoid being witnessed by ordinary people, so he was not resistant to Lu Lei's request.
Taking the uniforms from Lu Lei, Qi Dong turned around and distributed them to the Night Watch group, waving his hand. "Let's go, brothers, let's get in the car and change clothes!"
As he spoke, he squeezed Lu Yibei's shoulder and grinned. "Let's go, Staff Lu, change clothes together?"
"..."
Change clothes together? What kind of ghostinvitation is this?
Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, perfunctorily saying, "Oh, okay, uh-huh..."
Imdiately after, while Qi Dong turned around, his eyes darted around, and with a quick step, he darted into the gap between two ice chests not far away.
Although he had no prejudice against the muscular brothers of the Special Operations Team, he did have prejudice against their muscles!
Those bulging, oily muscles, looking at them was like eating lard, making one feel greasy.
Two minutes later.
When Lu Yibei quickly changed into the surprisingly well-fitting waiter uniform and walked out from his hiding spot, looking at the Special Operations Team mbers, his eyebrow twitched.
He saw those muscular n, who averaged over 1.85 ters in height, weighed close to 180 kilograms, and had no excess fat, were, in four words, "a sight for sore eyes" after putting on the hotel uniforms.
Their chest muscles, which seed capable of crushing a person's head and were usually not noticeable hidden under bulletproof and stab-proof vests, now bulged high, stretching their white shirts. The buttons on their fitted vests couldn't be buttoned at all, and their long pants were worn like capri-length tight pants.
Looking from afar, Lu Yibei felt like he could hear the buttons and trouser legs groaning in pain.
This disguise was aningless. What hotel waiter would look like them, with arms like tires were stuffed under them, like muscular n from the JOJO worldview?
It wasn't until this mont that Lu Yibei realized he had overlooked a very important step on the way here.
"..."
After two seconds of silence, he silently took out a spicy stick, put it in his mouth, and sucked on so spicy oil to calm himself down. Then he walked forward, patted Qi Dong's shoulder, and wiped the oil off his hands by the way.
"Elder brother Qi, tell honestly, how did you carry out similar operations before?"
Qi Dong was stunned for a mont. "It's simple. Sneak in, get intelligence, preferably blend into the scene, and catch them red-handed. If sothing goes wrong, the brothers will break in!"
Lu Yibei ate half of the spicy stick, pondered for a mont, and said, "Presumably, the person responsible for sneaking in before wasn't you?"
"Haha, Staff Lu is really smart, you could tell at a glance?"
Lu Yibei, "..." It would be strange if I couldn't tell!
Like you guys, when you dress up, you're also “Tequila Girls,” and a whole group of them!
More frightening than urban legend, how can you infiltrate?
“Ahaha, speaking of which, A Hua Miss used to be in charge of infiltration. Don't look at her usual plain appearance, but when it cos to disguising herself, she's very skilled.”
I've experienced it. Otherwise, Jiang Li wouldn't be able to turn into that appearance... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly.
“To be honest with you, Elder brother, if you go in like this, I'm afraid it won't work, you'll be exposed!” Lu Yibei said, looking around at the circle of strong n, “After all, you're too fierce, ordinary people... uh, can't handle it.”
Qi Dong frowned, “Then...”
Warm reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your 【book shelf】 and 【reading record】 in ti (screenshots are recomnded). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
“How about I go alone this ti?” Lu Yibei said helplessly, “The suite is on the top floor. You can hide on the rooftop and stay in contact at all tis. Co out when needed.”
“Okay, that works.” Qi Dong nodded, approving Lu Yibei's plan.
In fact, when they first collaborated with A Hua, they arranged a similar plan.
After a pause, Lu Yibei seed to rember sothing and asked, “Oh right, do you have experience rescuing hostages? It seems you didn't bring a negotiator either?”
Although he was still very confident in facing the urban legend that killed He Liang, to be safe, he still needed to prepare for both possibilities.
What if he couldn't win and was captured?
Hearing this, Qi Dong laughed heartily, “Haha, you're talking about that?”
What's so funny? Lu Yibei's eyes lit up slightly. Does that an they have experience rescuing hostages and also have negotiators?
“Our Special Operations Team never negotiates with urban legend! So...”
So? Lu Yibei's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the armored vehicle they had arrived in. As he vaguely saw the tallic glint of firearms inside the compartnt through the car door, he suddenly understood sothing.
So...
They never negotiate with urban legend. If sothing happens, they just grab their long and short guns, rush in, and shoot everything up. So they don't need negotiators at all, is that what it ans? Lu Yibei thought.
----
Jinsha Hotel, Suite 2305.
Lu Yibei pushed the dining cart to the front door, adjusted his tie, took a deep breath, and reached out to ring the doorbell.
“Hello, your order of three Lebao beers and two bottles of Hennessy has arrived!”
Soon, the doorknob turned gently, and a girl appeared behind the door. Through the crack in the door, the sound of dynamic music could be faintly heard from behind it.
The girl was not a mber of Yang Yi's small group. Lu Yibei hadn't seen her before, so he didn't say much and stepped aside, letting him push the dining cart in.
Lu Yibei pushed the dining cart, walked in, and looked around the entire suite.
In the vast space of the two-story suite, there were many people: so dancing, so drinking, so playing cards, so playing gas, indulging in revelry and completely disregarding Miss Du's money.
Tsk, that's my subordinate's money! You shaless freeloading monsters!
Lu Yibei cursed inwardly with righteous indignation, then searched for Du Sixian and Yang Yi for a while, and was slightly stunned; there was no trace of them in the room.
What's going on? We didn't spend a lot of ti and effort preparing for half a day only to get the wrong place, did we?
Or could it be that our actions were detected by the urban legend, and Du Sixian was directly kidnapped?
Impossible! That little thing, besides its strangely vicious killing thods, looks like a simpleton. It shouldn't be able to pull off sothing like this.
While Lu Yibei was thinking, the girl who had welcod her in, and two other unfamiliar boys, had gathered around him at so point, pointing at him with serious expressions.
Lu Yibei's heart tightened.
Could it be that he was exposed?
Lu Yibei subconsciously wanted to take out his phone to contact the muscled Elder brothers of the Special Operations Team, but a boy who ca up to him grabbed his hand.
The boy looked at Lu Yibei as if he were soone who had been stuck in a toilet and saw soone bringing toilet paper, smiling incredibly happily, “Young man, you ca at the right ti. We're short a person for cards here, you fill in!”
Lu Yibei frowned and subconsciously refused, “Sorry, I'm still working.”
That was the truth. If he slacked off now, people might die... Lu Yibei thought.
“Young man, don't be a killjoy. I'm familiar with this hotel. Service staff like you usually only serve one suite. Playing cards with us is also a kind of service!” the girl said.
Lu Yibei, “...” That was indeed the case. Lu Lei had just explained that he could stay in the suite the whole ti.
“One word, are you coming or not?” another boy said sowhat unhappily, “Seriously, if it weren't for that grandson Yang Yi insisting on going upstairs to play so urban legend ga, I wouldn't want to play with outsiders!”
Upstairs?
urban legend ga?
In other words, Du Sixian and the others didn't leave, they're upstairs, and they're about to start the urban legend ga?
Lu Yibei thought, then turned to look at the young n and won gathered around the coffee table playing 'Golden Flower' and the dozens of bright red banknotes stacked on the table, slightly narrowing his eyes.
What kind of family are they from? So young and already not learning good things, gambling so big?
Having spent a long ti with Jiang Li and being nagged frequently, Lu Yibei subconsciously developed a slight aversion to gambling.
“But I don't have money, you're betting too big...”
This was also true. Recently, refining potions to fix defects had almost emptied his savings, and he could barely afford to eat.
“That's all? Co on, play if I tell you to! If you lose, it's on ; if you win, we split it fifty-fifty!” a boy said, patting his chest.
Lu Yibei's eyes lit up slightly.
There's such a good thing?
While thinking, he deliberately acted coy and walked to the coffee table to sit down, his peripheral vision drifting towards the room upstairs, silently expanding his Spiritual Energy.
There was a Spiritual Energy fluctuation of 0.3 “Rabbit,” that was Du Sixian, she should be temporarily out of danger.
Then now he could...
Lu Yibei thought, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the three poker cards already dealt in front of him, his eyes slightly focused.
Although winning these young people's money using Spiritual Energy was sowhat dishonorable, but...
You brought this upon yourselves!
If I don't let you know how treacherous society is today, I'm not Gao Jin of Hua City!
Lu Yibei thought, and said lightly, “Call 100!”
The bet instantly increased tenfold. The group of people at the table looked at his expressionless, extrely calm face, and their expressions began to change.
“...”
Could it be that they've encountered soone who is playing dumb to catch a tiger?
Or is it that soone is backing him, so he's just ssing around?
Never mind, never mind, we're scared of you, let's wait and see first. Everyone thought.
“Fold!”
“I'm not calling either!”
...
Seeing everyone fold, a hint of playfulness flashed in Lu Yibei's eyes, “That's it? Then I'll thank everyone for giving money first!” Saying this, he unceremoniously pulled the money towards himself.
----
anwhile, inside the master bedroom upstairs in the suite.
The lights in the room were adjusted to the dimst setting. A doll prepared according to the multi-player version of the urban legend ga process was placed on the white bed. The red threads used for stitching on its chest were interwoven into a hideous scar, and an oil-based pen was placed beside it.
The group, including Du Sixian and Yang Yi, took turns stepping forward and writing their nas on the doll with the oil-based pen. Then Yang Yi picked up the doll and walked alone towards the bathtub in the bathroom that was already filled with water.
Everyone watched as Yang Yi walked into the pitch-black bathroom and closed the door behind him. No one dared to breathe, and the entire master bedroom fell into a dead silence.
Ti flowed slowly. No one knew how long passed until people started to feel a faint worry about whether sothing had gone wrong. Only then did Yang Yi's voice sound from the bathroom.
“Doll, doll, the new body is here, please use it.”
Then.
He added another sentence, “Alright, let's play! We'll be the ghost first.”
A mont later, Yang Yi walked out of the bathroom, his eyes blank as he looked around at the people in the room, and said in a cold tone, “Next, whose turn is it?”
