Our Rules

"Besides, isn't there already someone in the passenger seat?"

Lu Yibai's indifferent words made the taxi driver tremble.

He glanced at the empty passenger seat and feigned anger, "Kid, it's late at night, don't play scary jokes like that. It's not easy being a night driver…"

Lu Yibai replied with surprise, "Heh, Uncle, you're quite calm and good at pretending!"

The taxi driver looked at Lu Yibai. His face was slightly pale, but he still forced a smile, looking awkward.

He braced himself and retorted, "Kid, you say there's someone in my empty passenger seat, and I say there's a ghost next to you!"

"Huh, you know that too?" Lu Yibai replied directly.

He was indeed carrying the Lion Umbrella, and wasn't there a ghost living inside it?

Taxi driver: "……"

Damn, what kind of tactic is this? Young people nowadays are so hard to talk to!

Lu Yibai didn't intend to scare the driver. In fact, the reason they chose this taxi instead of the one closest to them was because they sensed the ghost energy and Yin energy inside the car!

There was indeed a ghost in the car!

And the ghost was indeed in the passenger seat!

Otherwise, given Lin Xiaoqi's lazy personality, how could she not choose the closer one?

It's good to walk less.

Thinking about it now, it's true that they should go out and move around more. Always staying in the bar makes it hard to encounter anything.

Even if Lin Xiaoqi's sensing ability was strong, it couldn't cover the entire city. Look, here's one that slipped through the net.

Logically speaking, Lu Yibai shouldn't have spoken directly about ghosts or demons.

But he was certain that the taxi driver knew.

He knew there was a ghost in the passenger seat.

Just now, he had enthusiastically invited him to sit in the passenger seat, to sit on the ghost.

Who the hell wants to sit on a ghost!

Isn't it better to squeeze in the back seat with Ye Yiyi?

What does it feel like to squeeze in the back seat? Speaking of which, Ye Yiyi accidentally fell a few days ago, landing on her butt, but her butt wasn't bruised and was perfectly fine.

Why is that?

Of course, it's because her perky little butt is bouncy enough!

"Forget it, boss. Isn't there a saying: You can never wake someone who pretends to be asleep," Lin Xiaoqi said to Lu Yibai.

She was, of course, referring to the taxi driver who was pretending to be oblivious.

Lu Yibai frowned and waved his hand, "That saying is nonsense. My urine isn't yellow, it's very clean. How about I wake him up with my urine?"

The boss's train of thought is truly hard to describe.

Ye Yiyi, sitting next to them, was stunned. She just remembered that although Boss Lu seemed quite normal recently, his usual behavior proved the saying: "He's not faux leather, he's the real deal!"

The taxi driver's relatively handsome, weathered face turned green and white. It's unknown what he thought hearing these words.

There was indeed a ghost next to him, and he could indeed see it.

Although he kept talking tough and forcing awkward laughs, he knew it in his heart.

The reason he casually told Lu Yibai to sit in the passenger seat was because he knew there was a ghost there.

Under normal circumstances, with a man and two beauties, how low would his EQ have to be to ask him to sit in the front when he had already sat next to the beauties?

He wanted the ghost in the passenger seat to absorb some vital energy.

Because this ghost…

Was raised by him!

Huaxia, vast and rich in land, with a large population.

To what extent?

As beings chosen from one in ten thousand or even one in a million, the Night Watchmen have a considerable number within the organization.

Among billions of people, there wouldn't be a shortage of extraordinary individuals.

Things like "gu worms" and "love curses" were something Lu Yibai never believed in before.

When he was studying years ago, he read an article in "Storytime" about the reversal of a "love curse," which roughly described:

The male protagonist cheated on his wife and found a mistress. But the mistress wasn't particularly beautiful, and the wife was actually prettier and sexier.

So, the wife, not understanding, went to find a master. After the master touched her eyebrows, she could see things that ordinary people couldn't. She discovered that the mistress had placed a gu worm and a "love curse" on the male protagonist, which was why he cheated.

The wife deeply loved the male protagonist, so she found a way to remove the gu worm and wanted to continue their loving relationship. However, on their wedding day, the makeup artist accidentally touched the wife's forehead, and she saw a coiled gu worm on herself in the mirror!

It turned out she was infatuated with the male lead because she had already fallen victim to his love curse!

This story doesn't really hold up logically, with quite a few plot holes, but it's still somewhat interesting to read. Boss Lu was just looking for some entertainment back then.

But after joining the Night Watchmen and witnessing so many strange things, he sometimes thought carefully and realized there might indeed be extraordinary individuals out there.

He had asked Lin Xiaoqi about this, and she confirmed it.

Some people are "half-spirit bodies."

Someone like Lu Yibai is a trash among spirit bodies, barely managing to cross the threshold for cultivation, which is why he was taken in by Ji Dekeng and Lin Xiaoqi, who also followed the Trash Protagonist School path.

As for those half-spirit bodies, they don't qualify to become Night Watchmen.

However, if these individuals have guidance, they can indeed develop minor abilities that ordinary people don't possess.

Like those who deal with reanimated corpses, for instance.

This taxi driver in front of him should be a human with a half-spirit body.

Did he learn "raising a ghost" by chance, or does he belong to a sect with a tradition?

Emmm... Lu Yibai and the others couldn't care less. What's it to them?

Their focus is solely on the ghosts themselves.

Ghosts cannot be kept, as they will inevitably turn into fierce ghosts. The silly thing in the Lion Umbrella is quite special; there has never been a ghost with consciousness like it in the entire history of the Night Watchmen.

Moreover, by driving a taxi, he was clearly allowing this "ghost" to absorb the life force of the passengers sitting in it.

He probably wouldn't absorb too much, but it certainly wouldn't be beneficial and might even shorten his lifespan.

He might be controlling this ghost by feeding it life force daily.

Lu Yibai raised the Lion Umbrella, preparing to deal with this ghost.

He poured his Night Watchman power into the Lion Umbrella, and immediately, surging Yang energy and heat waves erupted from the tip of the umbrella.

The taxi driver seemed to sense this as well. Although he was terrified and didn't know who this young man was, he perceived danger.

He immediately said, "You can't! I have my reasons for raising this ghost, it's for..."

Lu Yibai interrupted him directly, "Please shut up. We don't care about your reasons. If you go on a long speech, it will feel very drawn out."

"No, no!" Cold sweat streamed down the driver's face, but he still tried his best to protect the ghost.

"There's no 'you can't.' It's the rules," Lu Yibai said.

"What rules! Where are these rules from! Who made them!" The driver's emotions were starting to unravel.

"We made the rules." Lu Yibai said.

"Our... Night Watchmen's rules!"
