In the distance, on an open hillside, Jiang Li gazed in the direction of the ferry terminal warehouse, quietly listening to the data report from the Special Operations Team member beside her.
"Night erosion degree 3.7, value is high."
"Spiritual energy fluctuation valley value D-grade, peak value B-grade, source individual count 127."
"Calamity reaction 0.03%, normal."
"Hiding itself among a group of low-level Weird tale, trying to escape?" Jiang Li murmured to herself.
But where did it gather so many D-grade Weird tale? Was it created through Evil Face Markings, just like the one discovered at Lu Yibei's house last time?
At this thought, Jiang Li's eyes grew even more somber; over a hundred D-grade Weird tale meant over a hundred restless souls.
She turned around and said to the person beside her, "Notify everyone to prepare for action. Don't let any Weird tale escape! Also... after we return, investigate cases related to body theft."
"Understood." The black-clad Special Operations Team member responded, then turned and disappeared into the night.
The next moment.
"Caw—caw—!"
Strange bird calls echoed through the seemingly empty and silent forest, sounding somewhat like a baby's laughter.
It was the cry of a nocturnal bird known as a barn owl.
Each baogang cang owl badge trembled slightly, and with the cries, invisible spiritual energy ripples spread out, transmitting information.
In the darkness, the soft clicks of firearms being unlatched and loaded echoed intermittently through the forest. In an instant, all members of the Special Operations Team entered combat readiness.
The target of these Special Operations Team members was not Mr. Rabbit; their mission was to prevent the D-grade Weird tale hidden in the warehouse from leaving the encirclement, to avoid affecting surrounding areas.
Although even heavy weapons could hardly cause substantial damage to high-level Weird tale, tangible low-level Weird tale could not withstand the power of a burst of bullets. If they could, then another grenade would be added.
And regarding high-level Weird tale, a saying circulated within the Night Watch: Only Weird tale can kill Weird tale.
...
A fog had risen at some unknown time, enveloping the entire Qingyuan Ferry.
The rusty, heavy iron door of the terminal warehouse was pushed open. Stale dust mixed with the smell of oil gushed out from the dark, cavernous space behind the door, accompanied by the low creak of the door hinges, as if something ominous had been released.
Like a flood, countless "monsters" dressed in black tailcoats with rabbit head coverings stitched onto them poured out from behind the door, their bodies piling and colliding, scattering across the ground like lifeless dolls.
In an instant, even ordinary people could sense the surge of coldness and death, as if to engulf the Night Watch members ambushed around the terminal.
"Click—click—!" Stiff limbs twisted, and bones made soft cracking sounds. Those "monsters" struggled to get up, like living corpses awakened from a graveyard. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Immediately after, they charged wildly towards the surrounding forests like soldiers who had received a command to attack.
Soon.
Under layers of eerie white dense fog, gunshots erupted, firelight was obscured in the thick mist, and limbs with putrid blood flew through the air. The Night Watch Special Operations Team members and the D-grade Weird tale disguised as Mr. Rabbit fought relentlessly.
For a time, the area within two kilometers of Qingyuan Ferry had almost turned into a cruel hunting ground.
However, in such a chaotic scene, Jiang Li stood motionless on the hillside, and An Qing, located in another open area across the river from her, was also the same.
Her mind was highly concentrated, and her spiritual senses were fully open. For a moment, all the energy flows within a one-kilometer radius were clearly visible to her.
In those pale blue glowing eyes, under the night sky, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the Weird tale, whether bright or dim, strong or weak, were like stars scattered across the night.
Suddenly, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation became clear among the numerous D-grade Weird tale, as if a new star was rising.
The next moment, Jiang Li and An Qing moved together, their silver and crimson streaks of light like two sharp swords, cutting through the dense fog and the night.
In a corner of Qingyuan Ferry, a rabbit-headed monster in a frantic dash suddenly paused, letting out a strange laugh. Its spiritual energy fluctuations surged, and the flesh beneath ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) its black cloak seemed to boil, writhing madly.
Accompanied by "tear, tear!" sounds, flesh, like a malignant tumor, burst through its clothing, and a twisted, deformed, unholy rabbit-headed monster abruptly entered the sight of the Special Operations Team members.
"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—!"
In an instant, all surrounding firepower concentrated on the hideous monster. A metallic deluge spewed from gun barrels, pouring onto its twisted body. Large chunks of flesh were torn apart by the gunfire, falling to the ground and emitting plumes of foul-smelling black smoke.
However...
The firepower could only slow its advance, not stop it entirely. It gradually approached the Special Operations Team members at the edge of the encirclement, its three-lobed rabbit mouth curling back to reveal meat-grinder-like blades, letting out a maddening roar.
With its thick, deformed arm, it grabbed a tree several meters tall nearby, uprooting it, and swung it forward to smash.
Just then, crimson and silver-white intersected at this spot.
"Swish—!" A silver light flashed past it, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves lightly striking stones.
Jiang Li's figure became clear in front of it, and foul blood slowly dripped down her runic longsword as the blade's poison spread.
That was the venom of the Lernaean Hydra, a poison potent enough to make mythical creatures of legend feel pain beyond death.
The flesh wriggled a few times, and the monster's right arm, along with half its chest, exploded into a mass of pitch-black foul blood.
On the other side, the bloodlines on its left arm formed a net-like pattern, spreading along the lines and silently falling as precisely cut pieces of flesh.
Almost at the same moment, Jiang Li and An Qing noticed that the aura on its body was rapidly weakening. Its massive body crashed down, and the bizarre human-face pattern on its spine was exposed to their eyes.
It was an Evil Face Mark!
"Oh no!" Both of them exclaimed almost simultaneously.
...
In Hua City, in an unnamed club, under the chaotic lights, perfume and cigarette smoke mingled, and young men and women who loved the night celebrated wildly.
Most people only knew that The Undergroundworld was the only nightclub in Hua City that operated until the early hours of the morning, and they were unaware of the existence of this club.
Because its existence was illegal, engaging in some indescribable services and transactions, it could not appear in the public eye, only spreading its existence within a very small circle.
On the stage in the center of the dance floor, a group of scantily clad Rabbit Girls swayed their waists to the music, their long legs wrapped in black stockings striking alluring poses around the pole.
The next moment, a Rabbit Girl with a human-face tattoo on her back collapsed from the stage. Blood gushed from her mouth in large mouthfuls, and a pool of blood spread beneath her.
There was no excessive panic; people coldly dispersed. Soon, several burly men in black suits pushed through the crowd, dragging the Rabbit Girl's body away from the dance floor.
Soon, everything returned to how it was before the anomaly occurred, and people once again immersed themselves in music and desire.
Such scenes were far too common here. Due to the club's unique nature, transactions involving spiritual items often took place, and it wasn't the first time someone had come into contact with a spiritual item and experienced an abnormal physical reaction.
A few minutes later, in a narrow, deep alley behind the unnamed club.
Rats and insects scurried between mountains of black garbage bags, making rustling sounds. A Rabbit Girl lay quietly in the garbage heap, like discarded trash.
Suddenly, the human-face tattoo on her pale back glowed crimson. As the light flashed, the tattoo seemed to melt away and dissipate. The next moment, she woke up.
"Gasp—!" She breathed violently, her two white, rabbit-like breasts heaving, and her eyes, like glass beads, were a dull, crimson color.
"Heh, I didn't expect possessing a C-grade Strange Tale to consume so much energy." She sneered, sat upright, and pulled out an old flip phone from the snowy white cleavage of her chest. She found the only number stored in it and dialed.
"Yes, it's me. I'm out."
"Mm, see you at the agreed place later."
After speaking, she exerted force, instantly crushing the phone to dust.
...
Lu Yibei had a dream. He dreamt he was riding a beautiful white horse clad in silver armor, galloping under a moonlit night, his body rising and falling with its steps.
His fingers ran through its silver fur, caressing its delicate, smooth skin, bringing extreme pleasure.
This feeling... why is it a bit erotic? Lu Yibei thought. Could it be that I not only refine copper, but in the future, I'll also screw horses?
What kind of messed-up setting is this? It's too perverted! How could I be that kind of person?
Wake me up from this strange dream, damn it!
Lu Yibei thought, and a crisp evening breeze hit his face. He suddenly woke up. After steadying himself, he abruptly realized that the bumping was still continuing, only the * * white horse had turned into a shirtless man, and his hand was ambiguously caressing the man's chest.
Lu Yibei's gaze met the man's, and the situation became extremely awkward.
The man glared at Lu Yibei, his eyes aggressive. Lu Yibei froze, then shyly turned his head away, making the situation even more awkward.
Wait! Something's not right! Glancing at the city buildings enveloped by the night, Lu Yibei was slightly stunned. Shouldn't I be in the hospital? How did I end up in this place?
"Holy crap! Who are you?!"
"Heh heh, you don't need to know who I am!" The man laughed, his words interspersed with cicada-like guttural sounds.
"You're the damn villain, aren't you?"
The man was clearly stunned by the remark. "..."
"Got a lot of question marks in your head?" Lu Yibei was expressionless. "Saying lines only a villain would say, isn't your identity obvious? I bet your next line will be'So what if you know?' right?"
The man, "..." What was with this calm and collected feeling, as if he saw through everything? Did he have some hidden move?
"In one minute, you'll also say, 'Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to save you.' I also know that screaming is useless. Oh, by the way, will you kill me?"
"Heh heh, not yet, but very soon..."
"That's good, then I'll..."
So damn panicked! Lu Yibei took a deep breath, nearly showing his fear.
You'll what? The man frowned. The next moment, a pig-slaughtering scream erupted in his ear, and the young man on his shoulder twisted and struggled madly like an earthworm.
"Help! Kidnapped! Jiang Li! An Qing! A Hua! Oh no, broad daylight abduction of a civilian girl, no, abduction of a beautiful young man!"
Doesn't he feel ashamed? The man twitched his mouth, thinking. Although he had sealed Lu Yibei's voice with spiritual energy, he still felt a little uneasy, like a thief.
When a person is about to die, what's shame? Is face more important than living? Lu Yibei thought.
"Is anyone going to do anything?! Is there any law?! Someone come quickly, if no one comes, I'm going to be defiled!"
"Damn it! Shut up!"
(Uh, I admit defeat, you guys are too "enthusiastic." I'll put the extra chapter rule aside for now until I've caught up. Otherwise, I'll have to go down the path of cross-dressing to apologize.)
