After sending a ssage to Lu Yibei, Hua Sang waited for a long ti, didn't see a reply, and gradually began to feel uneasy.
...
After a mont of contemplation, she tucked the ruler into her collar, got up and walked out of the room. At the door, her steps paused slightly. She looked back deeply at the empty room, then turned off the light and closed the door.
After greeting the disciple on duty, Hua Sang left the Chen Yi Hotel, went out and hailed a taxi. As the scenery outside the window changed from dark to light, it only took a few minutes to arrive at Bu Ye Street.
Standing at the street corner, looking at the brightly lit street ahead, Hua Sang frowned tightly. She raised her hand to rub her slightly throbbing forehead and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Although the thought of having to search Bu Ye Street for Lu Yibei carpet-style already made her feel tired, human lives were at stake, and the real culprit who killed the Grand Senior Brother could not be neglected. She could only overco her fear of difficulty.
However...
Not long after she entered Bu Ye Street, she noticed a hint of... no, sothing was very wrong!
Spilled snacks, crushed lons and fruits, injured passers-by, fallen lamp posts... Looking around, the entire Bu Ye Street was in chaos, as if a hurricane had just passed through.
With doubt in her heart, Hua Sang asked several street food stall owners along the way and then understood.
It sounded like it was all accidents, but five out of seven people ntioned a girl with shoulder-length hair. Based on the descriptions of three of them, it could be tentatively confird that the girl was Fang Ji...
Earlier, in that alley, Lu Yibei was with Fang Ji. Would they still be together now?
Thinking this, Hua Sang quickened her pace, following the tracks of those accidents, and walked towards the depths of Bu Ye Street.
She privately thought that going to see the situation first was always better than running around like a headless fly.
----
On the other side, in Song Wei's dream.
After a brief mont of astonishnt, Lu Yibei stared at Hu Chuan in a subtle way for a while, and her mind gradually cald down.
Although this is Song Wei's dream, it's also a dream I constructed. How dare you intrude?
Do you know this is called walking into a trap?
Do you know how to write the word "torture"?
Although ngng usually uses this dream-weaving ability to create happy dreams for people, Lu Yibei, who borrowed this ability, has always been good at creating Nightmares.
Yes, the kind of Nightmare that could even scare soone as heinous as Suolang Baima into losing control of his Spirit Marks.
"Heh, you want to have a good talk? Then ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) I'll have a good talk with you!" Lu Yibei nodded with a cold smile. Thinking of the tragic death of the Headless Senior, her eyes revealed a fierce light.
If the situation is wrong, I'll imdiately dispel the dream!
Can you♦ possibly follow the dream and co here to hit ?
As she spoke, she gently snapped her fingers, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, like reflections in water being disturbed by the wind, rippling outwards in layers, quickly dispersing. Then the wind left, the ripples gradually cald down, but the "reflection" had already changed.
The workshop of the Chi Li Hall disappeared, replaced by a square room with padded leather walls to prevent collision.
In the room, there was a desk, and on the wall behind the desk hung a banner that read "Confess and be treated leniently, resist and be punished severely." Opposite the desk was a tal interrogation chair that looked very sturdy.
This was the layout of the interrogation room of the Hua City Si Ye Hui.
"Click—!" The sound of the interrogation chair locking was crisp.
In the darkness, Hu Chuan suddenly appeared in the interrogation chair, his hands firmly locked. He was stunned for a mont, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.
With a "bang!", the lights turned on. A blinding beam of light hit Hu Chuan's face, making him instinctively want to raise his hand to shield his eyes, but his movents were restricted by the handcuffs, producing a grating friction sound as he pulled.
At this mont, Lu Yibei finally saw Hu Chuan's face clearly and frowned slightly.
The man in front of her was tall, handso, with a fair complexion. His thin lips held a sincere smile. His eyes were exceptionally deep, and even the strong lights of the interrogation room couldn't illuminate them, seemingly hiding many secrets that were difficult to pry into.
And this face, Lu Yibei had seen before, on Wu Yutang.
...
Damn it, the dream is being interfered with!
As expected, trying to find out this guy's appearance this way doesn't work?
But it doesn't matter. As long as I can confirm he is Gu He, or rather Hu Chuan, I'll report him when I contact Zhang Huainan later!
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei said coldly, "Na?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ear. Hu Chuan looked up and forward. After his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light and he saw the appearance of the person sitting behind the desk, a look of realization appeared on his face.
"Heh, it's actually you. I never thought I'd be able to see you in this lifeti!"
Lu Yibei was silent for two seconds, ignoring Hu Chuan's words, and repeated, "Na?"
"Jiang Yuzhen..." Hu Chuan smiled. "Do you know? When I went to find that person and attacked you, it was just an impulse. Afterwards, I regretted it very much..."
"Oh, speaking of which, I even dread of you a few days ago. When I woke up, my pillow was soaked with tears!"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Seeing this face, he directly called out the Senior's na. It seems he is undoubtedly Hu Chuan!
But... Jiang Yuzhen, is that a na you can call?
Are you worthy?
Having experienced so many urban legend incidents, Lu Yibei knew deeply that so people are inherently full of evil. Their regret is never about regretting doing sothing wrong, but about regretting the price they had to pay after doing evil, a price they were unwilling to bear.
Just like Hu Chuan, Lu Yibei didn't dare to say that he was 100% not guilty for harming the Headless Senior, but at least ninety-nine percent of his regret was because he paid a heavy price after contacting Zhang Shuo.
"Age?"
"Age? Heh..." Hu Chuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "Speaking of this, I suddenly rembered that the first ti you celebrated my birthday with , we agreed to live together until we were a hundred years old. But who knew, things change. Your age ultimately stopped forever at twenty, which is truly lantable."
...
Damn it, why did the Senior's age stop at twenty forever? Don't you♦ know?
Do you still have the face to say such words?
No wonder you're covered in scars from being scratched by a giant panda!
Thinking this, Lu Yibei suppressed the anger rising in her heart and continued to ask, "Then why don't you tell the situation yourself?"
"Tell the situation..." Hu Chuan pondered for a mont, then shrugged. "What should I say? How I've been doing these past few years? It's actually not bad, except for not being able to go ho, not being able to contact my parents, and not being able to be myself, everything is pretty good!"
"Do you know? All of this is thanks to you! We can consider this a life for a life, right?"
See? This jerk is still blaming the Senior for harming him!
Lu Yibei suddenly clenched her fists. Her chest rose and fell slightly with her rapid breathing. It took her a while to suppress the urge to rush up and beat Hu Chuan.
After all, this is just Song Wei's dream. No matter how real and vivid it is constructed, and no matter how cruel the thods used against him, he won't feel any pain. Therefore, finding a way to trick him into talking is the right path.
Since he has no intention of cooperating at all, I can only use so extraordinary ans!
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's mind stirred, and the scene in the dream changed again.
At once, the sky spun, the earth trembled, and everything in all directions roared in response. Along with the drastic changes, countless turbulent currents howled.
Then, Hu Chuan's vision suddenly went black, and his ears fell into dead silence.
It seed like a montary daze of consciousness.
He closed his eyes, then opened them, and everything in front of him was already completely different.
Welco to the Demoness's happy graveyard... Lu Yibei, who was observing everything from the shadows, let out a cold laugh in her heart.
--------
A crimson crescent moon, and stars that were sotis bright and sotis dim, like countless eyes densely wriggling on the dim sky.

The wind blew, carrying a few pale paper money, fluttering in the air, rustling. From a distance ca a few strange cries of unknown birds, like mocking laughter.
On the slightly undulating wilderness around, tree shadows swayed, wild grass was desolate, and dense graveyards protruded like scales on the earth.
So mounds were empty with only a dark, murky hole, so had tombstones in front with a person's faint portrait vaguely imprinted on them, and so tombs had collapsed, as if whatever was inside had left and could no longer support the raised ground.
This area of mounds was endless as far as the eye could see, extending all the way into the dark depths in the distance.
This was the Lion Mountain Cetery near the Hua City Crematorium, "slightly modified".
Lu Yibei was very familiar with this place; she had "dug her own grave" here. Hu Chuan should also be very familiar with it; he had gone to steal "his own" ashes late at night four years ago, and the columbarium at the crematorium was near the cetery entrance.
Suddenly appearing in such a place, Hu Chuan's face instantly turned pale, and a trace of panic appeared in his expression.
"Jiang Yuzhen, co out! What kind of skill is it to scare people with such thods? I've already gambled my life for you, isn't that enough?" Hu Chuan shouted, his voice trembling.
The sound echoed in the empty cetery, traveling far before being devoured by the claws of the night.
After a long ti, seeing no response, Hu Chuan swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and walked forward along the winding path, trembling, while muttering non-stop.
"Jiang Yuzhen, I really didn't an to kill you, I just acted on impulse... It was them! It was all of them egging on from the side!"
"Jiang Yuzhen, you know, I've always been concerned about my reputation. In that situation, I couldn't back down, I could only... Look, now I've already received the punishnt I deserve!"
"Do you know? Since that day, I haven't had a single night of peaceful sleep. That man, he, he didn't treat like a human at all. He perford all sorts of experints on , drawing all sorts of strange Spirit Marks on my body..."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly understood the origin of the strange scars on Hu Chuan's body.
Those scars were likely left by Zhang Shuo when he experinted with Spirit Marks on Hu Chuan.
Zhang Shuo originally possessed rare dual Spirit Marks and should have known so secret thod to make two or more Spirit Marks coexist. His purpose for experinting on Hu Chuan was likely to add new Spirit Marks to himself.
"That person tortured every day. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I could only run, run to various Psychic sects, but I couldn't escape. Those sects always turned away, and that person could always find ! Like a devil, like a Nightmare that never dissipates..."
Hu Chuan spoke tearfully, his words filled with deep regret. It was clear that he had suffered a lot of inhumane torture at Zhang Shuo's hands.
Lu Yibei, "..."
It sounded quite miserable, as if he could write tens of thousands of words in a confession...
If I hadn't seen the ti capsule buried under the cherry blossom tree, tainted with the Black Sun Fire Seed, I would have really believed his nonsense!
Since you're so afraid of Zhang Shuo, I'll arrange for him to appear earlier. What a coincidence, I happen to know what Zhang Shuo looks like, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to construct a dream!
Lu Yibei thought, and with a thought, a rock suddenly appeared on the flat road under Hu Chuan's feet, then it squird as if it had a life of its own, tripping his toes.
Hu Chuan's already trembling body suddenly lost balance and tilted forward, stumbling and falling onto a tombstone. The mont he steadied himself by holding onto the tombstone, his nose was less than five centiters away from the portrait on the tombstone, as if he could feel the cold breath of the portrait.
And the person depicted on that portrait was none other than Zhang Shuo.
As Hu Chuan's gaze focused on the portrait, in an instant, the air seed to freeze. The tall soul-guiding banner stuck next to it, the paper money fluttering in the wind, like his fate that he couldn't escape from the devil's clutches.
And then...
The fierce-looking man in the portrait suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Just a shallow one, leaving a blurry impression while also seeming like an illusion.
"Ah, ah, ah! He's here, he's here to catch !"
Hu Chuan shrieked in surprise, pushing himself away from the grave and collapsing onto the ground. Just then, footsteps sounded from the end of the path, from the unseen forest, from the sealed tombs...
It felt as if many people were approaching from all around. Hu Chuan looked left and right in panic, but couldn't see a single person. He retreated using all four limbs. Just then, a pair of legs appeared out of thin air behind him.
His body stiffened, and he tremblingly turned his head, only to see the back of a man.
The person was wearing loose black clothes and black pants, giving off a very ominous feeling.
The mont Hu Chuan turned his head, the man slowly turned around, revealing the face that would forever be etched in his mory - Zhang Shuo!
The next mont, sothing in the cetery seed to awaken, and an ominous aura quietly spread. In the darkness, pairs of abnormally scarlet eyes opened.
Distorted figures, each with Zhang Shuo's face, erged from the darkness, one after another.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands...
Under the scarlet moonlight, they gradually gathered towards Hu Chuan. Countless hands reached out from the darkness, climbing onto Hu Chuan's body, pulling and scratching, as if to drag him into the abyss.
Those faces, with fierce eyes like wild beasts, grinned and growled in the most venomous tone, "You can't escape. You think you can escape my control by fleeing to Da Chunyang Palace?"
"You're just an insignificant experint. I can find you anyti I want!"
Seeing Hu Chuan's ntal state gradually collapsing in this situation, Lu Yibei controlled those "Zhang Shuos" and asked in a deep voice, "Tell ? Tell , what kind of existence is the Secret Society you're hiding in..."
"It's an existence that can kill you," Hu Chuan murmured, and then a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, which grew wider and wider, laughing maniacally, gasping for breath.
Lu Yibei, "..." Damn it! What are you laughing at? All around you are the people who used to torture you like a guinea pig! You're making confused.
For a mont, hundreds and thousands of Zhang Shuos, hundreds and thousands of faces were bewildered.
After a long ti, the laughter gradually stopped. Hu Chuan ignored the hands crawling all over his body and slowly stood up, standing there in a particularly bizarre posture, his bones cracking under the pulling of the hands.
"Jiang Yuzhen, no, or rather, this friend who is secretly helping Jiang Yuzhen, can you guess what happened after I fled to Shizhou City, visited Da Chunyang Palace for help, but was driven out like a stray dog?"
"..." Lu Yibei didn't speak, quietly waiting for the answer.
"I t that Adult. He was willing to help , and then... puff!" Hu Chuan's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shrinking to a point due to excitent, and he grinned, revealing an exaggerated smile.
"Then I t Zhang Shuo who had chased after , and then I killed him, puff, hahaha, hahaha!"
Lu Yibei, "!!!"
Hu Chuan actually killed Zhang Shuo with the help of that... Pink Fluffy Rabbit's power?!
A person with only Ling Neng potential actually killed an A level Psychic who was beyond the standard?
Pink Fluffy Rabbit, is it really this terrifying?
"Do you know? Do you know? Before he died, I did a lot of experints on him, just like he tortured ! He kept begging to spare him, but how could I possibly spare him?"
"When his Spirit Mark went out of control and his flesh rged with objects, his body was as beautiful as the fireworks we watched at the fireworks display that year!"
"By the way, by the way, he's actually not dead. He's been by my side all along! He did that to , how could I let him die so easily?"
"..."
Hu Chuan was still rambling on, and Lu Yibei realized that sothing was wrong. Hu Chuan's attempts to change the subject, trying to provoke her, and acting scared out of his wits, were all staged.
So what was his reason for doing this?
Could it be... stalling for ti?!
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly interrupted the dream.
She was very familiar with this kind of thing, after all, under normal circumstances, she should be the one stalling for ti.
The second before the dream dissipated, she saw Hu Chuan bowing to her and smiling, "Thank you for watching the performance, farewell, friend!"
----
The dream scene quickly dissipated before her eyes. The mont her consciousness returned to reality, Lu Yibei suddenly opened her eyes and looked around.
It was quiet all around. The narrow, secluded alley was illuminated by the dim yellow streetlights.
Song Wei, who was unconscious, lay next to the twisted and deford hand tractor. Fang Ji looked at her with a bewildered gaze.
"Miss Savior, is sothing wrong?"
"Did anyone co here while I was gathering information?" Lu Yibei asked seriously.
Hearing her unusually serious tone, Fang Ji was stunned for a mont, then shook his head and said, "No, no! What's wrong?"
"If not, then..."
Before Lu Yibei could even say the words "hurry up and leave", the lights around them suddenly went out. The streetlights and the lights in the residential buildings all went out. Dozens of considerable Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly entered the range of her spiritual perception...
