The Legendary Bar

Green specks of light gathered before Lu Yibai's palm, one after another, and they continued to multiply.

Densely packed!

Too many to count!

Even Lu Yibai was stunned!

After all, every speck of light represented a demon or monster that had been killed!

Ye Yiyi, sitting in the corner of the sofa, had her little mouth hanging wide open.

She was so scared she nearly peed herself!

Trembling all over...

Just how terrifying was this woman who had claimed she could punch her chest apart?

Ye Yiyi had only just arrived in Crow City, but demons had their own social circles too. Some demons who lived harmoniously alongside humans also used social apps like WeChat.

At the same time, quite a few demons wrote legendary tales and posted them on public accounts within demon circles to gain popularity... Well, that was pretty strange too.

Ye Yiyi remembered clearly that, among demon circles, a legend circulated about the city of Crow City.

Could this... be the legendary Night Watchmen Bar in Crow City?

The moment she thought of what the legend said...

For the second time that night, her legs went weak.

Then, Ye Yiyi, limp on the sofa, heard an astonished male voice.

Looking at the specks of light gathering before his palm, Lu Yibai laughed. "Whoa! What a huge green hat!"

Ye Yiyi: "..."

This man, who looked no different from an ordinary person, always seemed to have his train of thought slightly off.

He was different from the "human skin" she had made for herself.

He was not synthetic leather. He was the real deal!

"Boss, don't casually inspect a colleague's status panel," Lin Xiaoqi said to Lu Yibai.

A few seconds later, the green specks of light slowly dissipated.

Lu Yibai asked curiously, "Does that mean that if I kill her, other people who inspect me with the Night Watchman Mark will see green specks too?"

The limp Ye Yiyi: "..."

Who did I even provoke?

I just arranged a hookup, didn't I?

Lin Xiaoqi thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly. "Theoretically, that's how it works."

Ye Yiyi: "..."

"Don't be afraid. That doesn't fit the Night Watchmen's code of conduct," Lin Xiaoqi said with a smile. "In the past, a demon like you who actively integrated into human society and lived positively might even have received a commendation banner!"

What the Night Watchmen wanted was simply social stability.

We were merely doing our part to build a harmonious society.

That was why Lu Yibai could still crack a joke despite seeing those densely packed green specks.

Lin Xiaoqi might indeed have personally crushed quite a few demons to death, but with her personality, she would never lay a hand on those who did not deserve to die.

Because she was lazy.

Those densely packed specks did not mean her hands were stained with blood.

They were more like her medals!

Human criminals could be sentenced to death, let alone demons.

And after personally killing so many demons, she had likely faced plenty of danger along the way.

It was just that this woman had brushed it off with a few casual words.

She had said that her and Ji Dekeng's performance ranked among the best within the Night Watchmen organization. Perhaps it was not merely because Crow City was relatively peaceful.

China, Magic City.

As a world-class metropolis, Magic City was still lively in all the places that were meant to be lively, even though it was already two or three in the morning.

It was a city of extravagance and indulgence.

Some people stayed awake at night, freely spending money, youth, and hormones.

Others stayed awake to make a living.

So sometimes, one could witness scenes with a powerful sense of contrast.

For instance, supercars raced past the entrances of bars and clubs, while sanitation workers by the roadside had already begun sweeping up trash and fallen leaves.

There were two explanations for why SH was called Magic City.

The first was easier to understand. Back in the 1920s and 1930s, a Japanese writer wrote a novel about SH titled "Magic City," portraying SH as a city of magic. Gradually, the name caught on.

The second explanation was rather bizarre.

Magic City's subway system was highly developed, with intricately interwoven lines.

Some bored netizens circled the subway map and discovered that the shape outlined by the circle...

Of course, this required a certain amount of imagination, so there was no need to take it seriously.

Still, it added a touch of mystery to the city.

On the street, the autumn wind brushed past, and a few leaves occasionally drifted down.

A middle-aged man in a three-piece suit and black top hat, holding a large black umbrella, took tiny steps through a pile of fallen leaves...

He reached out and caught a leaf, then sighed again. "When a leaf falls, is it the wind's pursuit, or the tree's refusal to hold on?"

After a moment, he muttered to himself, "By the way... what is abscisic acid?"

He casually flicked away the fallen leaf in his hand. The leaf seemed to possess magic as it drifted against the autumn wind before landing in a trash can.

The man pushed up his round black-rimmed glasses and continued muttering to himself, "I really love this city. There are so many like-minded people here that I can barely bring myself to report to the organization."

If Lu Yibai had been there, he definitely would have mocked him.

The phrase "like-minded people" carried a lot of information. It already sounded wrong when read normally, and it sounded even worse backward.

What the hell was a "fellow who follows the Dao"?

The man walked quietly along the road alone for around another ten minutes. He had spent all his money on meticulously tailored clothes and could not bear to take a taxi.

Before long, he arrived at the entrance of a small shop.

—"Late-Night Malatang."

This shop was famous for its terrible food and filthy environment, so its business was abysmal.

After entering, he walked straight toward the restroom.

A sign on the door read: Under Repair.

Without using the little specks of light inside a Night Watchman's body, the restroom door could not be pushed open. It was quite peculiar.

Ordinary people would assume it was locked, which also kept idlers from entering.

And strangely enough, while the tables in the shop were all filthy, the restroom was so clean it practically reflected light.

He plopped down on the toilet lid.

As he sat down, the wall began to rotate, and the toilet rotated with it.

A hidden chamber mechanism!

There were many people in the chamber, both men and women.

In small cities, there might not be many Night Watchmen, but Magic City was different. It was one of the Night Watchmen's strongholds in China, with a large number of Night Watchmen.

None of these people were ordinary, yet they appeared no different from ordinary people.

The place was somewhat crowded and somewhat noisy.

This was the Magic City office of the Night Watchmen organization.

Just like any ordinary office, once there were too many people, it became messy and loud. Even they could not avoid that.

Other than being a little better at fighting, they were no different from ordinary people.

A small number of people turned to look. They saw a middle-aged man in a three-piece suit and top hat, leaning on a large black umbrella, sitting quietly on a white toilet.

This person looked unfamiliar!

But that outfit, and the dragon and snake on the black umbrella's handle...

Was he the Night Watchman from Crow City?

From that legendary bar!

Soon, as the middle-aged man slowly stood up, the first few people who recognized him took two steps back.

The first, the second, the third...

Every Night Watchman who recognized him took several steps back wherever he went.

Before long, he was the first to reach the office entrance.

Before opening the door, he turned slightly. The crowd behind him had already split into two groups. Everyone had stepped back, making way for him.

He planted the large black umbrella on the ground, gripped the dragon and snake on its handle, slowly removed his top hat, gave everyone a slight nod, and said, "Thank you."

He looked exactly like a gentleman.
