Wucheng Night Watchmen

As far as Lu Yibai was concerned, the Night Watchmen organization was currently quite unreliable.

In his eyes, the Night Watchmen organization was just a motley crew of mysterious individuals and demons.

So far, he had only encountered three Night Watchmen.

One was KFC, another was Lin Xiaoqi, and the third was the little loli.

To be honest, none of them seemed particularly normal.

Especially Ji Dekeng!

Damn it, making me guard a grave in the middle of the night, only to stumble into some magical grave within a grave!

The Yin energy and ghost energy within were so dense that Lu Yibai felt rather uneasy.

Judging by the number of small mounds here, there should be fewer graves than in a public cemetery, but why was the Yin energy and ghost energy emanating so much more strongly?

Could it be...

Boss Lu was genuinely curious this time, but he remained cautious of the unknown.

So he didn't continue down the stairs, hesitating.

Just then, the Night Watchman Mark on his left palm reacted. The sensation was faint, but it felt familiar.

It was sensing demons, and ones Lu Yibai had encountered before!

The Rat Demon and the Illusion Demon!

Yes, Lu Yibai sensed the presence of the Rat Demon and the Illusion Demon!

Although it was very faint, much weaker than before, he could sense it!

He took a few steps down the stairs, not rashly approaching the mounds directly, and then closed his eyes to sense slightly.

"Here!"

He opened his eyes and looked at two of the more outer small mounds.

The aura was coming from within them.

If nothing unexpected happened, the small mounds buried the corpses of the Rat Demon and the Illusion Demon!

Lu Yibai had asked Lin Xiaoqi before how the bodies of these two demons were handled. Lin Xiaoqi had replied, "The Assistance Department will handle it."

It seemed that Li Youde and his people had buried them here.

So, the question arose.

How did Li Youde get in?

The mechanism door to the underground mausoleum required the power of a Night Watchman to open. Although Li Youde was the head of the Wucheng Assistance Department, he was a genuine ordinary person.

Could it be that he had something like a "student card" or a "bus pass"?

With a "beep," he could come and go freely.

Well, perhaps that was the case. He must have had a pass, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

With this thought, Lu Yibai boldly walked down the stairs.

If Li Youde, an ordinary person, could come and go here with impunity and even dig pits to bury bodies, it would be too embarrassing for him, a Night Watchman and the esteemed Steward of Wucheng, to be so timid.

Lu Yibai descended the stairs, and the further he went, the closer he got to the small mounds. The more his left palm's Night Watchman Mark sensed, the stronger the perception became!

Demons, demons, demons!

Demons everywhere!

The depths of the Wucheng public cemetery were filled with the remains of countless demons!

If nothing unexpected happened, all these countless demon remains were executed by past Wucheng Night Watchmen!

No wonder the Yin energy and ghost energy were so dense here. It turned out that ordinary people were not buried here at all!

He now understood why the ghost energy and Yin energy that dissipated after the Ghost煞 vanished were quietly absorbed here.

This was the burial ground for demons and the place where ghosts were accommodated after they dissipated!

Because the runes on the walls here were for absorbing and suppressing these things!

Perhaps it was precisely because a large number of demon remains were buried here, even if their flesh and blood might have already dissipated, that the faint pressure still affected the low-level demon, Ye Yiyi.

This was also why she felt fear.

In the very center of the entire cemetery, there was a path paved with bluestone slabs.

Lu Yibai walked along the path, and the deeper he went, the more his left palm's Night Watchman Mark sensed, and the stronger the perception became!

Normally, when he encountered demons, his left palm would at most feel slightly warm.

But at this moment, he even felt a burning sensation!

There were too many. There were simply too many demons around!

Even if they were just remains, the demonic power sensed was less than a tenth of their former strength, but the sheer quantity was immense!

Furthermore, it was obvious that the deeper he went, the stronger the buried demons and monsters became!

The Rat Demons and Illusion Demons that Lu Yibai had personally dealt with were buried on the outermost perimeter, not even qualified to be buried in the inner circle.

Following the bluestone path, the burning sensation on Lu Yibai's left palm grew stronger.

Although the mounds of earth before him were decreasing, and the inner circle had far fewer of them than the outer circle, the demonic power was so vast!

This showed that the remains of the demons and monsters buried in the inner circle must have been incredibly powerful in life!

And it was clear that those who were granted special permission to be buried here were definitely not demons and monsters who lived harmoniously with humans like Ye Yiyi!

They were the kind that the Night Watchmen had personally dealt with!

Lu Yibai had only walked halfway, but by now, the surrounding ghost energy and yin energy were more than a hundred times that of the public cemetery outside!

If they weren't suppressed, it would indeed be easy for trouble to arise.

"That's strange, even in death, there are still class distinctions?" Lu Yibai mused internally.

He didn't believe the Night Watchmen organization would go to such lengths to classify and bury demons and monsters.

Dealing with their demise and burial was already generous enough; they wouldn't possibly offer better treatment and specifically bury someone in the inner circle just because they were stronger in life, right?

Perhaps there was a reason.

Could it be that the deeper into the inner circle, the stronger the suppression power?

As he followed the bluestone path further inward, he sensed an anomaly with his Night Watchman Mark.

Besides the intense burning sensation, a coolness also flowed in.

Could this be the legendary... ice and fire duality?

Alright, Lu Yibai knew very well that the reason for this cool sensation was that his Night Watchman Mark had sensed something else.

It had sensed the surrounding Night Watchman power!

Yes, besides the demonic power, the mark had also sensed the Night Watchman power!

Although they weren't from the same lineage, they could be considered to have reached the same destination through different paths. That feeling was intimate and familiar.

Lu Yibai walked forward step by step, slowing down more and more, his expression growing solemn.

Before him was the innermost circle.

If the entire cemetery was a circle, then he had approached the center.

Without even stepping inside, he already knew what lay within.

It was the remains of the ancestors of the Wucheng Night Watchmen!

Surrounded by demons and monsters, these ancestral remains silently guarded the very center!

What was buried inside might be human Night Watchmen, or perhaps Demon Night Watchmen.

The inner circle still consisted of small mounds of earth, but the difference was that each mound had a tombstone in front of it.

Lu Yibai hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and then stepped in.

He looked at the first tombstone. Unlike ordinary tombstones, it didn't have a name or birth and death dates inscribed on it.

The second one was also blank.

The third one was also blank.

Lu Yibai circled the entire area. None of the tombstones bore the names or birth and death dates of the ancestors.

Were they nameless?

Of course not!

They all had names once! And they were once the most powerful beings in Wucheng!

Each tombstone bore only five solitary characters:

—Wucheng Night Watchman!!
