Confirmed by the Eyes

My head hurts!

Lu Yibai felt like his head was going to explode.

His mind was fuzzy, and his head felt incredibly heavy, as if it had turned into a solid block of iron.

When he groggily came to, he found himself slumped over the bar counter. The bar owner and a waitress were on the opposite side, staring at him with intense curiosity.

Yes, pure curiosity.

"What are you looking at, customer? A monkey?"

The bar owner's gaze was almost fanatical, like a mad scientist who had just found the perfect specimen, but given his persona... never mind.

"This bar is yours." That was the first thing the bar owner said to him.

Simple, direct.

And judging by his tone, it sounded like he was saying, "I'm finally free."

Lu Yibai was completely bewildered.

He had only made eye contact with the bar owner before he passed out. They hadn't even discussed the transfer in detail yet.

Didn't he even ask about my asking price?

Judging by your tone, it's as if you're letting me name my own price.

Could this be the legendary...

"Confirmed our eyes met, I found the right person"?

More importantly, he was still trying to figure out why he had fainted.

Lu Yibai occasionally read about strange people and events when he had nothing better to do. Could this bar owner be a hypnosis master?

He tried his best to open his dead fish eyes and met the bar owner's gaze again. This time, the terrifying blackness was gone. His eyes once again gave Lu Yibai a sense of being unable to see clearly.

It was as if there was a mist before his eyes.

"This gay guy is wearing special colored contact lenses!?" Lu Yibai was horrified.

Alright, he was still doing his best to maintain his increasingly fragile worldview.

Seeing Lu Yibai lost in thought, the bar owner sat down opposite him with great seriousness and asked in a very solemn tone, "Are you sure you want to take over this bar?"

Putting aside the bizarre experience, Lu Yibai did want to.

So he nodded.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Golden characters appeared between him and the bar owner. As a proud university student, he could solemnly declare that he genuinely didn't recognize a single character.

At the end of these small characters were four much larger ones.

"These four characters mean 'Contract Effective'," the waitress explained when she saw Lu Yibai couldn't understand.

You're so understanding! So thoughtful!

Lu Yibai felt his worldview truly shatter this time! The world he remembered wasn't like this!

And what was this "Contract Effective" nonsense? It felt like forced buying and selling!

However, Lu Yibai's carefree side re-emerged. He looked at the bar owner and the waitress and said:

"Does this mean I don't have to pay you to buy the bar?"

He was really good at managing his finances.

Lu Yibai's thinking was simple:

I got compensated for my house being demolished through sheer luck, why would I waste it?

Lu Yibai remained seated by the bar, quietly gazing at the strange golden symbol in his palm.

This symbol had appeared after the contract became effective.

Just now, he had received the extraordinary worldview transmitted by the bar owner and the waitress.

This world wasn't as simple as they imagined.

Demons, devils, ghosts, oddities...

These miscellaneous things were real.

Of course, society was stable now, and everyone coexisted harmoniously. These magical entities had integrated into human society.

Perhaps your beautiful deskmate was a fox spirit with fox demon blood, though it was also possible she was just a very well-disguised "pig girl."

But regardless, these beings that surpassed the scope of ordinary humans were ultimately unstable existences.

Especially in the darkness!

In the darkness, the unstable aspects of demons and monsters tended to amplify. It was like how werewolves liked to howl during a full moon.

Daytime belongs to humans, but night... belongs to them!

Thus, an organization with a name and reputation, shouldering a special mission, emerged—the Night Watchmen!

The owner and the waitress of this bar both claimed to be members of the Night Watchmen, and this bar was the Wucheng stronghold for the Night Watchmen.

He inherited the bar, which meant he was also absorbed into this organization.

It felt like being dragged into a pyramid scheme, or perhaps like a woman sold into the mountains...

The waitress was currently crossing her legs, her slender legs, encased in tight jeans, were extremely alluring. She had her arms crossed over her chest.

She looked at Lu Yibai and said:

"The Demon Slayers and Demon Vanquishers that exist in legends, are actually us, the Night Watchmen."

"The Feng Shui Masters who deal with things like ghosts and malevolent spirits, are also us, the Night Watchmen."

"The type of cultivators you understand, are also us, the Night Watchmen."

"Even the sensational serial killer case in Wucheng a while ago was caught by us. That killer was actually a rabid little wolfdog. The news you saw was actually fake, it was modified."

The waitress chattered on and on, then she stretched her voluptuous figure and said with an air of pride:

"Impressive, right?"

Her figure was indeed incredibly impressive, but...

Lu Yibai gave her a look, letting her figure it out herself.

I believe your ghost!

He had actually seen the news about that serial perverted killer; it was last month and had shocked the entire Wucheng.

Wucheng's public safety was quite good, and such incidents were truly rare. Everyone in Wucheng had basically heard of it.

Not to mention, the police were very efficient and quickly caught the culprit.

And now you're telling me that person was caught by you?

You're telling me that young culprit was a little wolfdog?

Damn it, if you threw him a bone, would he wag his tail and let you take him away?

But the miraculous scenes before, like his fainting, like that contract, he didn't know how to explain them.

The bar owner stood up and said to the waitress, "Haha, we can leave here soon. I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it. Xiao Qi, you have a good chat with your new boss. I'm going upstairs to change into some new clothes first."

Saying that, he whistled and, with light, nimble steps, skipped upstairs.

I didn't expect this bar to have a residential area on the second floor...

"My name is Lin Xiaoqi," the waitress suddenly said.

"You can also call me Night Cat."

Lin Xiaoqi was a rather fresh-sounding name, though it didn't quite match her hot figure.

But what kind of ridiculous codename was Night Cat? Did she stay up late working at the bar, so they called her Night Cat?

I can also stay up late cultivating, so why don't you call me a cultivator?

Hey! Wait a minute!

Did this gay guy going upstairs to change say I'm his new boss?

So, this hottie named Lin Xiaoqi is also part of the bar I inherited?

Then, before Lu Yibai could think further, this woman, in a very rough manner, pushed open the door to a new world for him!
