Confirmed by the Eyes

My head hurts!

Lu Yibai currently feels like his head is about to split open.

His mind is dizzy and exceptionally heavy, as if he has turned into a stubborn blockhead.

When he slowly regains consciousness, he only sees himself slumped over the bar counter while the bar owner and the female employee are leaning over the opposite side, staring at him with intense curiosity.

Yes, it is a look of pure curiosity.

My good sir, are you watching a monkey show?

The bar owner's gaze is even somewhat fanatical, resembling a dissection enthusiast who has just laid eyes upon a satisfying corpse, but considering his persona... never mind.

"This bar belongs to you now." These are the first words the bar owner says to him.

Simple and crude.

Moreover, judging by the tone, it seemingly carries a hint of "I am finally liberated."

Lu Yibai wears a dumbfounded expression.

Before fainting, he clearly only exchanged a glance with the bar owner, and they have not even carefully discussed the transfer details yet.

Aren't you even going to ask what my psychological price point is?

Judging by that tone of yours, it sounds as if you are leaving the naming of the price entirely up to me.

Could this be that legendary...

--"Our eyes met and confirmed, I've met the right person"?

Most importantly, he is still dwelling on the reason why he fainted.

When Lu Yibai has free time, he occasionally reads up on bizarre and supernatural occurrences. Could this bar owner actually be a master hypnotist?

He tries his best to widen his deadpan eyes, locking gazes with the bar owner once more. This time, there is no terrifying pitch-black abyss; the man's eyes once again give Lu Yibai a blurry, indistinct sensation.

It is just like a thick fog drifting right before his eyes.

Is this gay guy even wearing special colored contacts?! Lu Yibai thinks in shock.

Fine, he is still trying his absolute hardest to maintain his world view, which is teetering on the verge of collapse.

Seeing Lu Yibai's pensive expression, the bar owner sits down quite seriously on the opposite side, then says in a very solemn tone, "Are you certain you want to take over this transferred bar?"

Putting aside the miraculous experiences from earlier, Lu Yibai actually wants to.

Thus, he nods.

Then, an even more miraculous scene unfolds.

Between him and the bar owner, golden characters pop up one by one. As a dignified college student, he can solemnly state that your dad truly does not recognize a single one of them.

At the very end of these small characters, there are four particularly large ones.

"Those four characters mean the contract has taken effect." Seeing that Lu Yibai cannot understand them, the female employee helps translate.

You really are considerate! How very thoughtful of you!

Lu Yibai simply feels that his world view has truly collapsed this time! The world in his impression is not supposed to be like this!

Furthermore, what the hell is "the contract has taken effect"? It has a bit of a forced-buy-and-sell vibe to it!

However, Lu Yibai's thick-skinned nature reveals itself once again as he looks at the bar owner and the female employee, asking:

"Does this mean I don't need to pay you for purchasing the bar now?"

He is really good at budgeting.

Lu Yibai's thought process is very simple:

I earned this demolition compensation with my life, why should I waste it?

Lu Yibai still sits beside the bar counter, quietly looking at the strange golden symbol in the palm of his hand.

After the contract took effect, this symbol appeared.

Just moments ago, he received the miraculous world view transmitted to him by the bar owner and the female employee.

In this world, things are not as simple as we imagine.

Demons, monsters, ghosts, spirits...

These messy things actually exist.

Of course, current society is stable, and everyone coexists harmoniously. These miraculous entities have also integrated into human society.

Perhaps your pretty female desk-mate is a vixen possessing fox demon ancestry—though, of course, the possibility that she is actually a well-disguised "fat lazy pig of a girl" is not ruled out either.

However, regardless of anything, creatures exceeding the scope of ordinary people are ultimately unstable existences.

Especially in the dead of night!

In the darkness, the unstable aspects of demons and ghosts are easily magnified—much like how wolves love to howl during a full moon.

The daytime belongs to humanity, while the night... belongs to them!

Consequently, a renowned organization bearing a special mission has emerged—the Night Watchmen!

The bar owner and the female employee claim to be members of the Night Watchmen, and this bar serves as the stronghold for the Crow City Night Watchmen.

Inheriting the bar means he has also been absorbed into this organization.

He feels a sense of being dragged into a pyramid scheme den, and it also somewhat resembles a woman being sold into a remote mountain village...

The female employee is currently crossing her legs, and those slender legs wrapped in tight jeans possess extreme attractiveness as she folds her arms across her chest.

Looking at Lu Yibai, she begins to speak:

"Demon Slayers and Demon Vanquishers, which exist in legends, are actually us Night Watchmen."

"Those feng shui masters who deal with ghost sha and similar things are actually Night Watchmen like us."

"The kind of cultivators you understand them to be are actually us Night Watchmen too."

"Even the serial killer murder case that caused an uproar in Crow City some time ago was handled by us. That killer was actually a berserk little wolf dog, and the news reports you all saw were actually fake and embellished."

The female employee rattles on and on, then she stretches her voluptuous figure and says with a proud expression:

"Pretty impressive, right?"

Her figure is impressive to death, but...

Lu Yibai returns a look, leaving her to interpret it herself.

I'll believe your evil nonsense!

He actually read the news about that serial killer just last month, and it can be said to have shocked the entire Crow City.

Crow City's public security is rather good, and such incidents are indeed extremely rare. Basically everyone in Crow City has heard of it.

Not to mention, the police efficiency was high and they quickly captured the culprit.

Now you are telling me that you guys caught the person?

Now you are telling me that youthful culprit was actually a little wolf dog?

Damn it, if someone throws him a bone, does he wag his tail and let you lead him away?

Yet, facing all those miraculous scenes from earlier, such as his fainting and that contract, he has no idea how to explain them.

The bar owner stands up instead, saying to the female employee, "Haha, I can finally leave this place right away, just thinking about it makes me a little excited. Xiaoqi, you have a good chat with your new boss to build some rapport, I'm going upstairs to change into a new outfit first."

With that, he whistles, taking light, dainty little steps as he cheerfully bounds upstairs.

I didn't expect this bar to have an upstairs residential area...

"My name is Lin Xiaoqi," the female employee suddenly says.

"You can also call me Night Cat."

The name Lin Xiaoqi sounds quite fresh and refined, even though it doesn't quite match her fiery figure.

And what kind of damn codename is this Night Cat? Does working at a bar mean you can stay up late, hence calling yourself a night owl?

I am also very capable of staying up late cultivating immortality, why don't you call me a cultivator?

Wait! Hold on!

The gay guy who went upstairs to change clothes said I am her new boss?

In other words, this hot babe named Lin Xiaoqi is also a part of the bar he inherited?

Then, before Lu Yibai can think any further, this woman pushes open the door to a new world for him in a very crude manner!
