I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Chapter 15: Natural Disaster

Jiangli raised her head and looked around, and the apartment buildings before her stood silently like stone monuments.

Somethings wrong, she muttered.

Mr Rabbit is a level C threat, close to becoming a level B threat. Hence, he would have energy fluctuations, making it easy to detect him.

However, she couldnt detect him at all.

A sharp slashing noise could be heard behind her, and she dodged to the side.

The rain fell continuously, and a white after-image phased right past her.

What is he doing here? she grumbled.

In that short moment when he was visible, he snorted before disappearing once again.

Jiangli parted her lips, wanting to ask him about something. At this moment, a strange and violent wave of energy could be felt from the opposite side of Lu Yibeis house.

The wave of energy swept past her like a tsunami, boiling molten iron, piercing screams of despair that struck fear in the depths of her soul, and swallowing everything like a painful vortex.

She turned pale.

That was a Level S energy fluctuation, but

Everybody knew that S rules the top of the pyramid of power, and one might even call them a walking natural disaster.

There were no more than five natural disaster-level threats recorded by the Night Division, and each of them caused tens of thousands of casualties.

Jiangli never thought that something as powerful as this would be in Huacheng.The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

Jiangli had to make the decision between saving Yibei and dealing with the threat.

Im sorry; Ill visit your grave often, Jiangli apologized softly before rushing towards the source of energy.

Between the lives of a handful of people or the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, it was obvious what she would pick.

Bai Kai knows hes in trouble somehow. That kid should be safe with him, she thought.

Although she disliked her colleague, she still trusted him.

Azure light shone into the open window, illuminating the apartment briefly.

The moment he saw Mr Rabbit, Lu Yibeis mind went blank, and his arms moved on their own. His panic and fearfulness were quite literally thrown out the window as he saw Mr Rabbit tumbling down the stairs.

Lu Yibei tossed the statue of Acala, the Immovable, to the side and poked his head down the stairs.

He saw the vague shape of Mr Rabbit twitch a few times before it stopped moving.

Huff huff

He was panting violently and realized that he hadnt been breathing during the entire ordeal. He sucked air into his lungs greedily. His ears buzzed, and his vision was foggy.

His nerves finally relaxed, and his newfound strength receded like a tide as he collapsed onto the floor.

In the darkness, he could smell rancid blood.

I killed somebody.

Lu Yibei realized that the Mr Rabbit he had just knocked out might be a real person. He didnt feel fear anymore, but nausea and discomfort.

He felt like he wanted to vomit.

Did I just kill somebody? My god.

He wasnt sure if Mr Rabbit was still alive. Itll be bad for him if he wakes up suddenly.

Im too powerless. I cant move my legs.

Fatigue washed over Yibei, and his consciousness was a blur.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a scream could be heard right outside his door.

F*ck! Open up! Hello?!

Lu Yibei couldnt bother to answer the door. He was too tired, and his body wasnt listening anymore. The screams drowned out as his head was like an anvil, and he fell into a deep slumber.

The window in the living room was shattered as if it were torn apart by some strange force.

A white figure pierced through the window like a sharp blade, landing firmly on the living room floor.

He was greeted with a corpse lying on the stairs and the strong, pungent smell of blood.

He was stunned for a moment. His breath hitched as he got closer, and he sighed in relief. After checking that the corpse had no vital signs, he looked up the stairs and saw Yibeis figure.

Bai Kai phased towards Lu Yibei, using a simple spell to confirm that he wasnt hurt.

He let out a long sigh of relief as he held Yibei in his arms. He glanced over at the statue of Acala, the Immovable, and found that it was stained with blood.

My god, he couldnt help but sigh helplessly. Thats not how youre supposed to use that thing.

Under the pale moonlight, the rain fell silently on the roof.

The water tank and solar panel were covered with rust. The walls were peeling and uneven, and mould grew in the potholes on the ground.

Five members of the Night Division were sound asleep, and Hua was soaked in blood and unconscious.

Jiangli chased after the source of energy, but it disappeared almost instantly as if it had never appeared.

She stood solemnly on the roof of the building, turning around to look at the roof of another apartment building not far away. Doubt flashed in her eyes.

The roofs of these apartments looked as if they had been eroded over decades of time. Just what happened over here?

She briefly swept across the members of the Night Division. After confirming that they were fine, she took out a finger-sized reagent tube from her coat pocket and walked towards her maid.

Jiangli helped her up and leaned against the wall. She gently pricked her lips and poured the medicine into her mouth.

Her throat squirmed slightly as Jiangli forced her to swallow the liquid. Her wound that seeped through her shoulder stopped bleeding and healed, and the maid jolted awake and took deep breaths as if she had just been rescued from a drowning incident.

Jiangli let her maid catch her breath in her arms. Hua, do you feel better now?

Mistress we failed to protect the target.

Seeing Jiangli, she subconsciously thought they had failed their mission and Yibei was probably dead while Mr Rabbit had fled the scene.

No, its not your fault. Tell me what happened.

 After all, theres no point in blaming anyone.

Miss, youre too kind, but

Get to the point, and stop that, she ordered calmly, slapping away Huas hand, who was trying to undress her.

What do you mean you were ambushed by monsters?

Thats strange, Jiangli thought. A group of Level D to Level C monsters? But I clearly felt something way stronger here.

We were caught off guard, the maid explained. If that girl hadnt come to our rescue, we wouldve died.

What girl? Jiangli tilted her head.

Perhaps the Level S energy fluctuations came from her?

Um, the maid closed her eyes, trying to recall the situation. She was tiny but had a good figure: long, brown, chestnut hair, wearing a lace skirt. She also had this long red scarf, which covered half her face, and she had a childish face too. Oh, and she refused to give us her name.

It seems like there were more strange psychic users who dwelled in Huacheng.
