The Boss Lu's Gaze

The night wind blew, and Lin Xiaoqi leaned against her motorcycle, guarding the bar's entrance.

Lu Yibai, however, walked into the Celebrity Bar alone.

The bar was lively, with thumping music and a crowd buzzing with hormones, making Boss Lu frown.

Already attached to his thermos and drinking goji berry water, Boss Lu was clearly out of place among the young men and women around him.

Bars were strictly prohibited for minors, but they usually didn't enforce it too strictly, as long as you didn't look too young.

The little girl who had been abducted might not have even started elementary school yet, and she would stand out too much in a bar.

However, since Illusion Demons could create illusions, it wasn't surprising that they could bring the little girl inside.

"Guest, you can leave your umbrella here," the attendant at the door said to Lu Yibai.

Although he didn't know why this guest insisted on carrying an umbrella, as there were no signs of rain outside.

"No, thank you," Lu Yibai replied.

The attendant couldn't stop the guest from insisting on taking an umbrella inside.

At this moment, Lu Yibai realized how convenient an umbrella was as a weapon. Swords and the like were controlled weapons, after all, and carrying them around was troublesome.

The bar's DJ was hyping up the crowd, and a large group of men and women below were dancing along.

On stage, many people were wriggling, believing their "wellness disco" moves looked great.

Lu Yibai wandered around aimlessly, as if looking for friends who had arrived at the bar earlier.

Meanwhile, his Night Watchman Mark was quietly sensing everything around him.

"Hey handsome, want a drink?" a woman leaned in and asked.

As she got closer to Lu Yibai, her pupils dilated slightly, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

A Night Watchman!

Lu Yibai was also a bit surprised to encounter someone from Ye Yiyi's kin, another Night Demon.

This Night Demon seemed to be... working here?

With her so close, even with the faint aura of a Night Watchman within him, this Night Demon could sense it.

He was vastly different from when he first met Ye Yiyi; his strength had improved tremendously.

"Shh!" Lu Yibai made a shushing gesture.

The Night Demon immediately responded with a "I get it, I get it" look, though it was unclear what exactly she understood.

"Do me a favor, just do your job and pretend you didn't see me," Lu Yibai said.

The Night Demon nodded and obediently went off to flirt with other customers.

Lu Yibai toured the entire interior of the bar and found quite a few demons and monsters, but he couldn't find the little girl or the Illusion Demon.

That's strange, it shouldn't be like this.

Honestly, a little girl should be very conspicuous.

Even if this Illusion Demon had locked the little girl in a box, she should still be easy to find. Who in their right mind would bring a container that could fit a girl into a bar?

A living person couldn't just disappear into thin air.

Lin Xiaoqi was guarding the outside, so the Illusion Demon couldn't have escaped already.

And for some reason, he felt something was off.

Thanks to the ghosts inside the Lion Umbrella, who would come out to cause trouble every now and then, Boss Lu had become quite experienced with such deceptive tricks.

He seemed to have thought of something. Could it be...?

Lu Yibai turned around, looking for the Night Demon he had encountered earlier.

The Night Demon was a bit confused by Lu Yibai's return.

I'm just doing my job, it's not that serious, is it?

"Cooperate with me for a small test," Lu Yibai said.

The Night Demon felt completely lost, but as a low-level demon, she couldn't refuse, nor did she dare to.

Lu Yibai picked up the Lion Umbrella, and the cylindrical tip at the end of the umbrella pressed against the Night Demon's lower abdomen.

He circulated the energy within him, channeling a small portion of light points into the Lion Umbrella, and a large surge of Yang energy erupted!

No reaction.

This Night Demon had no reaction!

She had taken a mouthful of it, and still no reaction!

Unlike Ye Yiyi, who would let out a satisfied "ying ying ying," she showed no response.

To be precise, she was staring blankly at Lu Yibai, probably thinking, What the heck are you doing poking my belly button with that big black umbrella?

This Lord Night Watchman really had a peculiar sense of humor.

Boss Lu frowned slightly, looking at the Night Demon, who hadn't turned into a weakling.

He increased the amount of Yang energy. If it were Ye Yiyi, she would have ascended by now.

Just as he thought!

Heh, interesting.

"Barring any surprises, I'm already inside an illusion!" Boss Lu thought to himself.

When did he enter the illusion?

Honestly, he was ashamed to admit it, but Boss Lu had no idea.

But that didn't matter.

What mattered was that the clever me had already seen through everything!

It was obvious that this illusion was very well crafted.

The woman in front of him was definitely a demon, because the Night Watchman Mark never lied.

He didn't believe that this Illusion Demon's illusion could be so realistic, to the point of mimicking the warmth of his Night Watchman Mark.

Once a demon appeared within his perception range, the Night Watchman Mark would feel slightly warm.

Since the "woman" in front of him was immune to Yang energy, it was undoubtedly a demon, but definitely not a Night Demon!

This was what made Lu Yibai find it interesting.

This Illusion Demon's illusion could only deceive the eyes, but it was used very cleverly.

It used illusions to disguise this woman as a Night Demon with a skin-deep disguise, but in reality, she was another type of demon!

This made the realism very strong.

It probably knew that the Night Watchman Mark couldn't be hidden.

So, it decided to add some visual processing.

The world in Lu Yibai's eyes was now a world processed by the Illusion Demon's vision.

The Night Demon he saw was actually another demon, and the other demons he saw might even be Night Demons he was familiar with.

After all, the Night Watchman Mark wasn't a Pokedex from Pokémon; it couldn't identify demon species.

True and false, false and true, this kind of mixed illusion was very advanced!

This could make Lu Yibai mistakenly believe he was seeing the real world, when in fact, everything was messed up!

Completely messed up!

It was a pity, though, that this Illusion Demon didn't know the function of the Lion Umbrella.

This was a divine artifact that could send any Night Demon flying with just a touch!

Ye Yiyi was starting to get addicted to it now, completely unable to leave Boss Lu.

This Illusion Demon had even started to take risks and use its demonic power. Lin Xiaoqi, who was at the bar entrance, should have already sensed it.

But she hadn't done anything.

Lu Yibai smiled slightly. He understood that Xiaoqi wanted him to gain more experience.

However, Lin Xiaoqi wouldn't joke about a little girl's life. She was a Night Watchman and had her duties.

If that was the case, she must have ensured the little girl was safe for now.

Undoubtedly, everything was now within Xiaoqi-jie's control. She could have blown away this mere Illusion Demon with a single punch. She just wanted to see if Boss Lu could see through the illusion.

As Lu Yibai's rookie mentor, Ye Yiyi was still giving him a test, how dedicated!

Then let's give it a try! Let's treat it like clearing a dungeon!

At this moment, Lu Yibai even wanted to take out his headphones and blast the exclusive background music from "Detective Conan" when the child detective solved cases.

With my BGM, I'm the smartest!

Soon, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Lu Yibai didn't believe that this Illusion Demon's "divine sense" could cover the entire bar and observe his every move.

Illusion Demons weren't considered very high-level demons. This type of demon had extremely low personal combat power and was more of a support type, making them very troublesome. But the range of their divine sense definitely couldn't be this vast.

Since its divine sense couldn't perceive his every move, how could it precisely cast illusions around him?

This meant it was in a place where it could observe him!

With this thought, Lu Yibai smiled slightly and raised his head.

Then, he stared at the surveillance camera in the bar and waved at it, saying:

"Hello!"
