There were three special kinds of people in the slums: Ratmen, Dogmen, and Pigmen. Most had tragic pasts, and their minds and souls had grown markedly different from those of ordinary humans. They had been made into "beasts" and "tools."
It sounded cruel, but the people living in the slums had grown used to it. Becoming rats, dogs, or pigs was their last way out.
The blood in the alley was quickly cleaned up, and all evidence of the crime was sent to the Forbidden Zone. Black Crow and Gao Ming were not idle either. They found the Corpse Ghost's storage box on the outskirts of the Forbidden Zone.
Having spent all those years preying on living people with nowhere left to turn, the Corpse Ghost had accumulated little wealth. His storage box held only a black handgun with its serial number filed off and a battered copy of the Night Watch Rules.
"I'm curious. What happens if a night watchman breaks the rules?" Gao Ming put away the black handgun and picked up the rulebook to skim through it.
"The rules are precisely why night watchmen can obtain power beyond that of ordinary people." After joining forces with Gao Ming to kill the old dog, Black Crow had grown closer to him and finally stopped holding anything back. "The old dog already explained it clearly. The first night watchman came from outside the city. He had a strong sense of justice, but some force imprisoned him here. To fight malice, he sacrificed himself to shake the city's rules. What we call the Night Watch Rules means that anyone who fulfills every rule a night watchman must follow can receive the power bestowed by the First Night Watch. The more closely you meet his requirements, the stronger your abilities become.
