Is that so? Yibei asked. Isnt it strange for him to just carry an item like Acala, the Immovable, around? He might be related to a cult of so sort, so maybe you should keep a close eye on him!
R-right, Jiangli nodded. I will investigate this, uh, person nad Bai Kai Shui.
My next question! When I was spying on Mr Rabbit and his accomplices, I saw a strange tattoo on one of his accomplices
As soon as he ntioned a tattoo, Jianglis pupils shrank as she slightly trembled as if she rembered sothing terrible.
I originally wanted to look for it in the Night Division Records, but I couldnt find anything on it
I know exactly what you are talking about. We are trying to track them down. In short, they are a terrorist organisation, and you know too much about them. I suggest steering clear of them if you happen to run into them.
A terrorist organisation? he frowned. I cant avoid them even if I wanted to; they seem to be tracking down! Hell, one of them stole my dinner!
Alright, Jiangli broke the silence. Thats enough for today. Co back tomorrow.
B-but I still have a lot of questions, he pouted. However, seeing Jianglis steely expression, he sighed as he turned to leave.
The mont he pushed open the office door, Jiangli called out to him, Wait!
What is it?
Dont go out for the next two or three nights. Urban legends beco more active during the transition of the dark moon to the new moon.
Speaking of which, I have sothing serious to ask!
Speak.
Do you have any other psychic items I could use? I dont have any psychic energy, so doesnt that an that the statue I have is useless?
Jiangli glared at him, and he imdiately ran out of the office.
On Peony Street, the wind swept by, and the few ancient willows danced in the wind.
Yibei walked on the ancient street and pondered as he admired the scenery: Since urban legends can feed on human fear or worship, doesnt that an I wont have to hunt in the future? How can I make humans believe in ?
A podcast? A video? I dont know if theres a distance limit either.
He decided to register two accounts later to test it out. The most important thing today was to sneak into the girls dormitory.
Although it was a bit shaful, he swore he was about to starve to death. Who cares about dignity when you have an empty stomach?
And when I get my hands on that girl hosting that damned baby
Lu Yibei?
A gentle voice interrupted his thought process, and a handso, well-proportioned, tall man appeared before him. His smile was like a spring breeze as he towered over Yibei.
And you are?
Li Xuan, he smiled. I am Operator No. 2 of the Night Division. You dont know , but I know you. Let tell you: soone is going all the way for you, even going so far as to slash my tires
My bad, thats not important, he corrected himself.
Operator No. 2? Does that an hes stronger than Jiangli since shes Operator No. 5? he wondered.
So, youre my bosss colleague. Is sothing wrong?
No, no. I just saw you wandering around the streets mindlessly and wondered if you needed help.
Thats true, he hesitated to speak but had an idea. He started telling Li Xuan about how he asked Jiangli to provide him with sothing to defend himself with but was rejected.
I see, haha! Dont mind her. Its not that she doesnt want to give it to you; its just that she doesnt have anything to give to you.
As he spoke, he groped around in his pockets and took out an intricate trinket carved with decorations of the moon, eyes, and birds. It was like a tiny pebble in Yibeis palm.
This is an amulet I made in my spare ti, and it chases away bad luck. Treat it like Im making ands for you on behalf of Jiangli. Oh, and this little thing can also repel mosquitoes.
Oh, uh, thanks, Yibei said in a daze.
Ill be heading off to headquarters. I was supposed to be on duty today, but I got so drunk that I slept past my alarm! See you later!
Yibei bid him farewell and watched as he left, fiddling with the cold pebble in his hand.
He seems nice and down to earth. I didnt know the Night Division had people like this. Tsk!
Huacheng, in an apartnt near the Underground.
A room decorated with seductive, enticing colours, embedded with Tiffany jewels, and an intricate mirror on the ceiling; beneath the mirror was a large, peach-coloured, round water bed, and it was strangely reminiscent of a bed you would find in a luxury hotel.
On the big, round bed, a blonde woman with a gorgeous figure and pristine skin slept soundly in Bai Kais arms. The ssy bed told a story of a war that happened last night.
Bai Kai held her in one hand and his phone in another and stuck it to his ear. His expression gradually beca serious, and he snuck out of bed, wrapping the blanket over her naked body. He left the room and shut the door gently as he sat in his living room.
Yibei reported you to , saying that you might be in a cult, Jianglis cold voice ca from the other end of the phone. By the way, does he actually hate you?
Absolutely not! he yelled. How could he ever hate ? The fact that he chose to report this ans that he has a sense of justice and a high degree of vigilance!
Well, to , it sounded like he hates your guts.
Shut up! Doesnt this an that this problem is solved? Whats the point of calling ?
Its unreliable, she replied coldly. Sooner or later, hes going to find out. You should find a way to deal with him as soon as possible. Next ti, Im not lying to cover for you.
Okay, okay, geez, I get it, he sighed as he hung up. He lit up a cigarette and looked at the painting on the wall.
His new number was also blocked by Yibei, so he couldnt exactly contact him. He could only
Shui, where are you? A soft whine ca from his bedroom. Shui, this goblin cave needs a big stick!
Bai Kai imdiately leapt off his sofa and ran towards the bedroom with a wretched smile.
Not long after Bai Kai hung up, Jianglis maid, Hua, walked in angrily.
Miss! How could he possibly ask you for another item to protect himself? I have never seen such a greedy boy in my entire life! The maid complained. Need to chase him out and teach him a lesson?
No need, she sighed. Its not that I dont want to give him an item, its just that
Many Night Division mbers are non-psychics and rely on specially-made equipnt to defend themselves.
These weapons are not only made to fight urban legends but could also be used against ordinary people, which ans that they are extrely lethal. Weapons like these are not appropriate to hand over to a college student.
As for the other, more benign psychic items or equipnt, so need psychic energy to power, like the statue of Acala, the Immovable, or so are used to detect nearby urban legends. Yibei couldnt possibly use them.
Hua, Jiangli sighed as she rubbed her temples. Leave alone for a bit.
Are you okay, miss?
Its fine. Just leave.
I-Ill be at the door. Please call if you need anything, the maid responded in a low voice.
As soon as she left, Jiangli got up and unbuttoned her grey-blue cloak as she crept towards the mirror.
As the cloak slipped down her smooth back and her long hair draped over her shoulders like a cape, she turned around slowly, brushing aside the hair that obscured her back.
A Black Sun Totem tattoo was reflected in the mirror.
She stared at the tattoo from the corner of her eye, thoughtful.
The Solar Eclipse
One day, Ill destroy you with my own hands, Jiangli thought, as her eyes turned an icy blue.
