Hua Xieyu set off from Huacheng Institute of Technology, andering along the way, taking several wrong turns, and even encountering a few peculiar people. After more than two hours, she finally arrived at the address on the advertisent.
With the completion of the new city stadium, this old stadium, which had stood for decades, had long since entered a semi-abandoned state.
In the afternoon, the entrance gate of the stadium was wrapped in iron chains, with a brand new large lock hanging on them. The gatekeeper Elder brother, who looked over seventy years old, was dozing off in a wicker chair.
"Elder brother, Elder brother!"
Hua Xieyu called out softly twice. Seeing that the gatekeeper Elder brother was sound asleep, she considerately did not disturb him and quietly went around to the wall not far from the gate. She looked around and skillfully climbed up the wall.
She was as light as a cat.
The broken glass shards and barbed wire on the wall did not hinder her movents at all.
This level of anti-theft asures, if placed in Liming City, would probably result in even the turf inside the stadium being stolen clean! Hua Xieyu thought.
Entering the stadium, she followed the directions she had asked for along the way, proceeding along the main road. After crossing more than half of the venue, a sharply turning fork in the road appeared before her.
The slightly narrow, old concrete road had large areas of cracking, with weeds growing on both sides. Through the dense tree branches, one could vaguely see a dark grey building in the distance, and behind the building, the remaining ruins after the demolition of the shantytown.
"That should be the place, right?"
Following the winding concrete road, Hua Xieyu entered the depths of the forest, which had grown wildly in the height of sumr due to lack of maintenance. After advancing a hundred ters, a warning sign that read "Danger Ahead, Consequences for Entering at Your Own Risk" blocked the middle of the road.
It doesn't say what kind of danger there is. It seems this spooky place really is hiding urban legend. Hua Xieyu thought.
She rembered that for a period, the Liming City Night Watch was particularly active in their work, setting up similar warning signs in multiple locations within Liming City, without clearly stating what the danger was.
However, whether they explained it or not, it was useless.
The tal warning signs, just placed in Liming City without anyone watching them, would disappear without a trace before the next morning dawned.
Even if they were made of wood or plastic, they would be taken away, either to be used as a bed board at ho, or to burn for warmth, or simply because soone disliked such official-looking warning signs and wanted to destroy them.
Bypassing the warning sign and continuing forward for dozens of ters, she finally saw the swimming pool ntioned in the advertisent.
One side of the swimming pool, near the changing rooms, was surrounded by a dark grey high wall. The side near the pool had twisted and deford iron railings. There was only one entrance, where a rusty iron gate was left ajar.
After circling the swimming pool, Hua Xieyu got a general understanding of the surrounding environnt. Then she quietly took out her phone, found the contact information of the Miss who was pretending to be her best friend and acting as the contact person, and drafted a ssage.
【Miss Contact Person, earlier today, I received a strange advertisent. The main content was to threaten to give up completing the mission. At this mont, I have seen the person who sent the advertisent. The situation seems a bit unfavorable. Requesting support!】
After drafting the ssage, she did not send it out imdiately. She switched to another number with a series of digits as the contact na and started drafting a second ssage.
【Esteed Mr. Qi, according to reliable sources, an illegal Spiritual Energy organization is conducting a secret transaction at the old stadium swimming pool in Hua City. I am concerned that this transaction may pose a threat to Hua City, hence I am informing you.】
Qi Dong's contact information was given to Hua Xieyu by Qi Dong himself when she left the Special Operations Team.
Low-level Psychic like her, just like those with Ling Neng potential, were the favorite hunting targets of various urban legend. Even within the scope of Hua City, it was possible to encounter urban legend events.
With this contact information, Qi Dong might be able to get the news imdiately and save her life. Finally, she found the contact information Lu Yibei had given her at the milk tea shop.
【Save ! I'm at the swimming pool of the old stadium.】
After drafting the ssages, Hua Xieyu stared at the screen for a few seconds, then curled her lip.
I've already flirted with him so hard. With my looks and my fertile figure, even if he doesn't like yet, he should at least be a little moved, right?
If he's still not moved by this, then he's probably gay, right? Hua Xieyu thought.
After drafting the three ssages, arranging them in the order of Lu Yibei, Qi Dong, and the contact person, ensuring they were ready to be sent at any mont, Hua Xieyu finally put away her phone with satisfaction.
Although it currently seed that the unknown entity who sent her the advertisent might indeed be her last straw, people like her never completely trusted anyone.
From a very young age, Hua Xieyu had clearly realized that the only person in this world she could completely trust was herself!
During these years spent in Xiang Niangzi Cave, she had moved among various low-level local gangs or cult organizations, witnessing and even personally experiencing too many incidents similar to double-crossing during transactions.
Hua Xieyu knew that the owner of that advertisent would not help her for nothing, but as long as the price was not excessive, she would still choose to compromise. However, if the other party was insatiable and the price required exceeded her acceptable range, then she could only overturn the table.
And the order of Lu Yibei, Qi Dong, and the contact person was arranged according to what she believed to be the order of difficulty in getting rid of the subsequent trouble after overturning the table, from easy to difficult.
Hmph! Don't think your Sister Hua is really that easy to bully.
If you want to play tricks with , even if I die, I will bite off two bones from you and chew them up! Hua Xieyu thought fiercely, slowly closed her eyes, and silently activated her Spiritual Energy, unfolding her Spirit Mark.
Imdiately after, a wisp of green smoke rose from behind her, gradually condensing into a human-shaped outline the size of a palm. It passed through the rusty railings and entered the swimming pool.
Soon, the dilapidated scene inside the swimming pool was displayed before Hua Xieyu's eyes through the vision of the Sheng Cai Gui created by the Spirit Mark.
The outdoor swimming pool, paved with pale tiles, looked like it had a skin disease, with large areas of tiles peeling off, revealing rough concrete. The fallen leaves and small animal carcasses accumulated in the pool, soaked in rainwater, had turned into dark-colored, foul-slling sludge.
The door of the changing room in the distance was tightly shut. The damaged louvers were like slightly opened eyes scattered across its body—
Hua Xieyu felt that she was already cautious enough. Before starting to explore the swimming pool, she had made ample preparations. However, she was still a bit too young.
So gaps cannot be bridged by caution and ample preparation; they can even make one seem clumsy. It's a bit like the feeling of being bad at sothing but still wanting to play.
She had done everything diligently, but she was completely unaware that Miss Rabbit and Suo E had already been observing her from the shadows for a long ti. "This Miss is quite cautious?" Suo E comnted. "She has a bit of the flavor of Disaster."
Miss Rabbit was still angry. Hearing this, she curled her lip and retorted, "Bullshit! How many tis have we clashed with Disaster? Why do you still not understand her?"
Suo E frowned and asked seriously, "If it were Disaster, what would she do?"
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revamped, 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!
"If it were Disaster, even if she were curious about this transaction and thought she might benefit from it, she wouldn't appear within five kiloters of the swimming pool."
"That bastard would most likely just trick so not-so-bright resentful person, or threaten and lure so unlucky person whose handle she has, to co over and take a look for her."
Disaster, you see, is very cunning!
"Maybe the person helping her look will even think it's a great thing and thank her in return!" Miss Rabbit said.
However, just as Hua Xieyu underestimated Miss Rabbit, Miss Rabbit's understanding of Lu Yibei was also falling behind the latest version.
If it were really Lu Yibei, she wouldn't let anyone or any urban legend co here at all. She would probably just ask the Monster Story Chat Group to block the surrounding signals, and then ask the Elder brothers from the Special Operations Team and the urban legend of Hua City to take turns watching the swimming pool day and night, occasionally conducting a "drill," while she went about her own business.
Why would she have to enter the swimming pool?
This spooky place is cut off from water, food, and the internet. Staying inside would be so boring it would drive one crazy, and it would also delay things. The unknown entity inside would eventually co out when they couldn't stand it anymore.
After listening to Miss Rabbit, Suo E thought seriously and felt that what she said made sense. He nodded in agreent, "You understand Disaster better. If possible—"
"Stop!" Miss Rabbit looked at Suo E and interrupted, "Don't talk to about that grand plan of the Elder Council anymore. I will not help them catch Disaster. Before we have overwhelming power, I don't want to have contact with her for a second. If they want to catch her, let the Elder Council find soone else."
Long before, Berses had discovered that as the night began to lengthen, so special individuals were born among the Psychic and urban legend, and he compiled a list.
Although he was a mber of the Chairman faction and had always been ticulous, there is no absolutely airtight wall in this world.
The Chairman faction and the Elder faction had been in a love-hate relationship for so many years, already having infiltrated each other. Berses could hide it for a while but not forever. That list eventually appeared on the conference table of the Elder Council.
To this day, more than a dozen special individuals have been secretly controlled by the Elder Council. If Disaster hadn't been so troubleso, the Elder Council would have liked to control her as well.
In fact, the Elder Council's intention this ti in interfering with that man's actions was not just to disrupt his plan; they also had the idea of seizing the opportunity to capture Disaster.
"Yes, I know, Disaster is indeed very terrifying." Suo E nodded and looked at Hua Xieyu in the swimming pool, saying, "So, let's finish this mission quickly and leave Hua City."
"How many tis have I told you, I'm not afraid of her!" Miss Rabbit corrected impatiently, rolling her eyes, "However, the mission is important. Tell , what should we do next?"
At this point, she paused and looked at the improved core of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination Ontology Core in Suo E's hand, frowning, "Are you planning to directly stuff this thing into that Miss's body?"
"If so, let do it. I'm familiar with this job."
Before becoming a true urban legend, she had, as a doll, witnessed that perverted preacher cruelly torture and kill nearly a hundred young girls by various ans, and she knew exactly where a fist-sized piece of tal could be inserted.
"No!" Suo E shook his head. "Now, even if Hua Xizhuang becos the host of this core of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination, it won't really affect the Chairman. He can °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° abandon this chess piece at any ti."
"We just need to give this thing to Hua Xizhuang, tell her when to use it, and then stay in Hua City and activate it at the crucial mont."
"That simple?" Miss Rabbit tilted her head. "That simple," Suo E confird.
"Alright! I'll go talk to her, and you get ready to give her the thing."
After Miss Rabbit finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she had silently appeared behind Hua Xieyu, raising the giant axe in her hand.
Suo E, "???"
Her way of chatting with Hua Xizhuang seems a bit off? ---
Controlling the Sheng Cai Gui to carefully explore the swimming pool inside and out, Hua Xieyu looked at the empty outdoor swimming pool and frowned.
She found no Psychic or urban legend inside the swimming pool. "
How can there be no one?
Did I co too early? After all, the agreed ti is midnight.
Might as well go in and see. If that mysterious person hasn't arrived yet, I can set things up in advance.
Hua Xieyu thought for a mont, took two steps back, took a slight running start, leaped up, grabbed the top of the wall in front, pulled hard, climbed onto the top of the wall, then flipped over and landed steadily inside the swimming pool.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, clearly not the first ti she had done things like trespassing. However, as soon as she landed, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
It was the sa feeling she had when she used to sneak and pick locks, just climbed into soone else's yard, was targeted by a fierce dog, but hadn't seen the fierce dog yet.
A heart-pounding feeling suddenly erged, carrying an indescribable sense of trembling.
The surroundings suddenly beca extrely quiet. Hua Xieyu got goosebumps. She could even hear the sound of her own heart beating. "Thump, thump, thump, thump..."
Slow and heavy.
Feelings of panic, irritation, and discomfort rose within her. She couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Then, she took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and turned around abruptly, only to see a rusty giant axe coming at her with a whoosh. "Duang—!"
With a muffled sound, Miss Rabbit's giant axe hit Hua Xieyu squarely on the forehead, sending her flying back several ters and landing in a pile of dead leaves.
At this mont, Suo E followed closely, looking at Miss Rabbit with a heavy expression and saying, "Why did you kill her? Don't you know... You should run quickly! I will handle the Elder Council side for you first."
It's not an illusion again, is it? He seems to be worried about ? Miss Rabbit thought, smiling slightly, "Who said I killed her? I just knocked her out. This level of force control is simple."
As she spoke, she walked towards the unconscious Hua Xieyu. With a lift of her hand, white rabbit fur appeared on her left arm. Then she brushed her right hand over her left arm, taking away a large piece of fur, and at the sa ti, a yellow and black advertisent appeared in her palm.
Coming to Hua Xieyu's side, she turned her head to look at Suo E, and raised the blank advertisent in her hand, "Tell , what are you planning to say to her?"
Suo E thought for a mont, then shook his head, "This ti, we don't need your advertisent. The Elder Council is already prepared."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, took the advertisent from Miss Rabbit's hand, and placed a mobile phone and the core of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination together in Hua Xieyu's arms.
