Outskirts of Hua City.
The forest, washed by a shower, shimred under the bright moonlight. As the breeze swept through, water droplets on the leaves slid down, landing on the forehead of the pale-faced man standing beneath a tree.
The man's eyes were tightly shut. He remained motionless, as if petrified.
After a long while.
He slightly furrowed his brow, opened his eyes, and gazed in the direction of Hua City, slowly exhaling a turbid breath.
“Whoosh—!”
Seeing this, Miss Rabbit, who had been waiting for a long ti nearby, ca closer. “How is it? What's the situation in Hua City?”
Suo E glanced at Miss Rabbit and said, “Everything went smoothly. The core of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination's main body was successfully activated and successfully parasitized that person. Although the diffusion of the Power is currently stagnant, there shouldn't be any major issues.”
“That's good, that's good.” Miss Rabbit nodded, turned her head to look towards Hua City, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she slightly clenched her pink fists.
It was expected that the diffusion of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination's main body's Power would enter a stagnant state. After all, the target it was acting upon was one of the highest Leaders of the Eclipse Society. If it were so easy to take down, it would seem abnormal instead.
However, as ti passed, the Power of the Parasitic Kindred Abomination would definitely spread throughout Hua City. By then, it would be the end of the Disaster!
I really want to see how that bastard dies!
Unfortunately, getting close to the central area where the Parasitic Kindred Abomination's Power was diffusing was too dangerous... Miss Rabbit thought.

Jingyi Apartnt Complex, at Lu Yibei's ho.
After settling Wang Yingying, Lu Yibei and Ju ng gathered around Hua Xieyu, studied for a while, and finally made an important decision—order so takeout first!
“Crawfish, grilled pork ribs, or spicy hot pot?” Ju ng asked while tapping on her phone.
“Grilled...” Lu Yibei had just opened her mouth when she sensed sothing was wrong. She frowned and said, “Wait! Weren't we discussing how to deal with the Parasitic Kindred Abomination inside Hua Xieyu?”
“How did we get sidetracked to food while talking? Is this considered an important decision?”
“Isn't it?” Ju ng retorted, “In this day and age, how can you order takeout at night without making a decision? The night delivery fee adds an extra twenty yuan!”
“That makes sense!” Lu Yibei nodded, then her gaze drifted towards the sleeping Hua Xieyu, and she silently sighed, “But...”
“You, plus , two great urban legend on the Night Watch wanted list, can't even solve a small Parasitic Kindred Abomination?”
“Hey!” Ju ng walked forward, patted Lu Yibei's shoulder, and said earnestly, “You don't need to bla yourself. No one wants sothing like this to happen!”
“Parasitic Kindred Abominations are inherently evil. Whether or not you can solve them has nothing to do with the size of your ability. The Power must have a very strong targeted effect, right?”
Lu Yibei nodded silently, agreeing with Ju ng's statent.
To deal with Parasitic Kindred Abominations, simply having strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations is indeed useless.
This is like how even the most brilliant mathematician would find it nearly impossible to solve a dical problem.
Each field has its specialization. If a suitable thod or a highly targeted Power could be found, perhaps even a D-level urban legend could solve a Parasitic Kindred Abomination.
Now, even Slly Girl, with five thousand years of experience and extensive knowledge, can't co up with a solution, who else can...
Wait!
Perhaps there is one person who can think of a way?
The figure of Chatterbox Girl suddenly flashed in her mind. Lu Yibei's eyes lit up slightly. She looked at Ju ng and said, “Slly Girl, you keep an eye on Hua Xieyu first.”
After speaking, she quickly walked upstairs.
Although besides Chatterbox Girl, she could actually also ask Zhang Huainan, that Old man, for help. If it were him, perhaps he could solve the Parasitic Kindred Abomination with absolute power.
But at this mont, Hua Xieyu was constantly being affected by the Parasitic Kindred Abomination and her life was threatened. There would be plenty of ti for that Old man to co from Da Chunyang Palace to Hua City and resolve the crisis in Hua City, but Hua Xieyu...
By the ti Zhang Huainan arrived in Hua City, he might even make it in ti for Hua Xieyu's morial service.
“Hey, you dog, where are you going?” Ju ng asked, craning her neck.
“Sleep!” Lu Yibei's voice ca from upstairs.
Ju ng, “?”
What the heck is going on? When in doubt, go to sleep? Can you even cheat in your dreams?
————
Generally speaking, Lu Yibei didn't really like asking Chatterbox Girl for help.
Firstly, actively asking Chatterbox Girl for help required paying a fee.
Secondly, constantly asking Chatterbox Girl for help would make her seem like a useless cheater who knew nothing and only relied on cheats.
Finally, she always rembered that Chatterbox Girl had said not to rely on her unless necessary.
But today...
In life, there are always tis when you want to be a disciple of the Fengling Yueying Sect, right?
“Calling Dailian, calling Dailian!”
“Chatterbox Girl? Where is Chatterbox Girl?!”
“...”
Lying flat on the bed, Lu Yibei's eyes were tightly shut as she shouted loudly in her mind.
A mont later.
Just like being sound asleep and suddenly being pulled off the bed by a cold little hand greedily reaching out from under it, her body suddenly began to fall.
Following that, she was like a fallen leaf caught in the wind, tumbling and drifting in the darkness, finally slowly landing on the ground.
Feeling the familiar rough and cold touch of the rooftop ground on her palms and back, and slling the pungent odor drifting in the air, Lu Yibei opened her eyes, sat up, and saw Chatterbox Girl wearing only a large apron and denim shorts.
Scarlet red mud was sared on her face and hands.
A faint sll of blood drifted from the scarlet red mud, making one wonder if it was mixed with fresh blood, or perhaps even completely ground from flesh and blood.
“Holy crap! What are you doing?” Lu Yibei asked in surprise, “Why are you even playing with this naked apron thing?”
Friendly 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 (it is recomnded to save screenshots). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
With a “slap”, Chatterbox Girl threw the ball of mud in her hand onto the ground, turned around, and looked at Lu Yibei sideways. “This is pottery, do you understand pottery?”
“Although you are considered my Boss and can have on call, you can't restrict my freedom during off-hours, right? Can't I develop so hobbies when I'm resting?”
“Yes, of course you can, but...” Lu Yibei nodded, and while speaking, she shifted her body and looked at the “pottery work” that Chatterbox Girl was fiddling with. She couldn't help but frown. “What in the world is this ghost thing you're molding?”
Short and thick limbs, a fat body, scarlet red skin... it looked like a blood-soaked Patrick Star.
“A person!” Chatterbox Girl picked up her masterpiece and shook it in front of Lu Yibei. “What kind of eyes do you have? Can't you tell this is a person? Do you have any artistic sense at all?”
None at all, so you too... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, looked into Chatterbox Girl's eyes, and steered the conversation back to the main topic. “Forget it, let's talk about serious business!”
“You want to solve the Parasitic Kindred Abomination inside Miss Hua Xizhuang, right?”
As if she had completely seen through Lu Yibei's thoughts, Lu Yibei only said one sentence, and Chatterbox Girl imdiately revealed the purpose of her call.
“I do have a way, but...”
“You need money, right?” Lu Yibei also saw through Chatterbox Girl's thoughts in one sentence.
“Hehe!” Chatterbox Girl chuckled awkwardly a couple of tis, “What money or not money? Who are we to each other? Talking about money makes us seem distant, doesn't it?”
You don't want money, but you want my life, right? The sa old trick! Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, rolled her eyes and said, “Just tell what you want.”
“Are you in a hurry?” Chatterbox Girl pouted and said, “Unfortunately, even if you're in a hurry, it's useless for solving the Parasitic Kindred Abomination. The key is whether you can et the conditions, and what I want is related to this.”
“Conditions? What conditions?” Lu Yibei asked.
“It's actually very simple...” Chatterbox Girl said while grabbing a ball of scarlet red mud, rolling it into a sphere, and pressing it firmly onto the “blood-soaked Patrick Star's” body. “As long as you can create Human Fireworks.”
Lu Yibei, “...”
I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll just go find that Old man Zhang Huainan.
Don't you know I've been troubled by not being able to make Human Fireworks recently?
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Lu Yibei thought.
She felt that Chatterbox Girl's actions were like those green tea Dailians who fish for rich guys. At first, they just trick you into giving them so tips in different ways, then they gradually start asking for various gifts, and then they even start asking for cars and houses.
What, if I buy you a house, can you be my wife?
Seeing Lu Yibei silent, Chatterbox Girl smiled helplessly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and while grabbing a new ball of scarlet red mud and kneading it, she explained, “I feel like you might have misunderstood sothing. I'm not trying to trick you; this is the most efficient way ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to solve the Parasitic Kindred Abomination.”
“Do you know that most targets parasitized by Parasitic Kindred Abominations are humans? As long as you can create a large number of fake humans for them to parasitize, you can easily solve them. This is like fishing with fake bait.”
“Also, this thod isn't sothing I just imagined. Soone used it a thousand years ago.”
“Huh?” Lu Yibei was stunned for a mont and asked in confusion, “Parasitic Kindred Abominations were only confird to have appeared a few years ago, weren't they?”
“That's true, but...” Chatterbox Girl rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei and said, “I didn't say that the ancients used this thod to deal with Parasitic Kindred Abominations. It was for other urban legend!”
“...” Lu Yibei stared directly at Chatterbox Girl, hesitated for a mont, and said seriously, “Okay, tell , what should I do?”
If there was a chance of success, she still wanted to try.
If she was lucky, she could also unlock a new skill—cooking Human Fireworks.
“Very simple!” Chatterbox Girl rolled the mud in her hand into a sphere and handed it to Lu Yibei. “Just make stead buns.”
“The 《Shiwu Jiyuan Shanli Yinshi Mantou》 records: The official novel says: When Zhuge Wuhou was conquering ng Huo, people said, 'The barbarian land has many evil arts. You must pray to the gods and borrow yin soldiers to assist you. However, the barbarian custom requires killing people and offering their heads as sacrifices. The gods will then favor you and send out troops.' Wuhou did not comply. Instead, he mixed sheep and pig at, wrapped it in dough, shaped it like human heads, and offered it as a sacrifice. The gods also favored him and sent out troops.”
“But that's just a legend, lacking strong evidence. Can it really work?” Lu Yibei interrupted.
Chatterbox Girl shrugged, unconcerned, and said, “Isn't it quite logical to use a legend to deal with urban legend?”
Lu Yibei, “...” Now that she said it, it really did make sense.
“I understand. Just like Zhuge Wuhou used stead buns to deceive the gods, make the Parasitic Kindred Abomination think that the stead buns you made are humans emitting Spiritual Energy fluctuations, so that it will leave Hua Xieyu and parasitize the stead buns, and then you just dispose of all the stead buns, right?”
“Exactly!” Chatterbox Girl looked at Lu Yibei with an expression of “My child, you've grown, I'm very pleased” and gave her a thumbs-up.
“However, the only difficulty is that you must deceive the Parasitic Kindred Abomination and also make it feel that the stead buns are more attractive than Miss Hua. Therefore, the stead buns you make must be of the Human Fireworks level, and the reward I want is one stead bun.”
This way, besides the title of King of Bringing Up Kids, Hua Xieyu will probably get another one: Not as good as a stead bun... Lu Yibei complained inwardly and asked, “But I still can't make Human Fireworks! By the ti I make it, Hua Xieyu's death anniversary will be almost here next year, and Hua City will have been destroyed long ago.”
“No, you can!” Chatterbox Girl said with certainty, “As long as you can be ruthless.”
Ruthless? Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes and sized up Chatterbox Girl, probing, “How ruthless?”
“What you lack to cook Human Fireworks now is just the ingredients.” Chatterbox Girl said, pointing to Lu Yibei's arms, “You also got the tool for collecting ingredients from Boss Hu before, so you just need to go collect the ingredients.”
【fleeting life like寄】!
Lu Yibei's mind flashed with the blue and white porcelain bowl that Boss Hu had given her to collect the ingredients for Human Fireworks.
According to Boss Hu, she just needed to find so people, get so small personal items from them, put them in the bowl, and she could collect the ingredients for cooking Human Fireworks.
But one or two items are definitely not enough, right?
The situation is urgent, where can she find so many small personal items?
“That will take a lot of ti, I'm afraid...”
“No, no, no!” Chatterbox Girl waved her hand to interrupt. “You have ready-made ones around you, have you forgotten? In that old nest of yours.”
“Are you saying...” Lu Yibei thought for a mont, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you saying, the lost items that the Little Freaks picked up in the Happiness Community warehouse?”
“That's right!”
“But if I can collect the ingredients for cooking Human Fireworks from those lost items, why do I have to be ruthless?” Lu Yibei asked in confusion.
“Because, once you collect the ingredients for Human Fireworks from those lost items, the mory of their owners that is closely related to them will completely disappear, do you understand?” Chatterbox Girl explained.
After a pause, she emphasized again, “If there are very precious mories among them, they will also disappear!”
Based on Chatterbox Girl's understanding of Lu Yibei, if she found out the truth afterwards, she would definitely bla herself. It would be better to tell her in advance and let her think it through herself.
“...”
After hearing Chatterbox Girl's words, Lu Yibei fell silent for a short ti.
Taking without asking is stealing.
Taking other people's mories without their consent... to make stead buns, is this really okay?
