What's going on?
"What...what do these people mean?"
Everyone was stunned.
They are night watchmen, not robbers.
Although there are good and bad people among the night watchmen, even the bad ones wouldn't go so far as to harm ordinary people.
What are you doing?
Suddenly, a cold snort rang out.
A middle-aged man walked out from the intersection ahead.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, coldly questioning him.
Judging from his demeanor, he must be an official.
"Official night patrol officers have been dispatched to investigate the matter at the Fourth Bridge over the Yellow River!"
Blackfish revealed his identity card and walked up to the newcomer.
The newcomer snatched the identity card from Blackfish's hand and examined it several times.
"Investigate what Four Bridges?!"
“Our Sidaoqiao Village is doing fine, and Sidaoqiao itself is doing fine. You people are just wasting your time and causing trouble all day long.”
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
The man tossed the identity token back to Black Fish with displeasure and said coldly.
Xu An and the others were stunned by what they saw.
Xu An began to have doubts. This... something's not right!
Logically speaking, when something happens at the Fourth Bridge on the Yellow River, the locals should be very welcoming of the night patrol officers who come to handle the situation.
After all, if the matter isn't resolved, the locals won't be able to cross the Fourth Bridge.
Why are they kicking people out?
"May I ask who you are?"
Blackfish also lost its temper, coldly staring at the other party and questioning him.
"who I am?"
"I am the village chief of Sidaoqiao Village!"
"I'm in charge of everything here!"
Men can be quite domineering too.
As soon as he opened his mouth, hundreds of men, young and old, poured out of the surrounding alleys.
These people, each wielding a kitchen knife or shovel, looked fierce and menacing.
Seeing this scene before them, Xu An and his group were completely dumbfounded.
In the past, I only encountered monsters or ghosts, and we would fight them without hesitation.
Whoever backs down is a coward!
But what's in front of me...
A group of ordinary people!
It is a major taboo for a spiritualist to attack an ordinary person.
If we accidentally kill one or two more old men and women, then we're doomed. The Spirit Alliance will definitely investigate and punish us severely!
"What does the village chief mean by this?"
“We are official night patrol officers, ordered to handle the matter at the Fourth Bridge on the Yellow River.”
Are you deliberately obstructing the night patrol from carrying out their duties?
Blackfish said in a cold voice.
"cut!"
"So what if he's a night patrolman? Night patrolmen piss high, huh?"
“Our Sidaoqiao is perfectly fine, why do you people have to come and cause trouble when you’re just bored?”
"Who knows if you'll attract something powerful that could harm us?"
"Get out of here, or don't blame us for being impolite."
The village chief was also unyielding, and even snatched a kitchen knife from a villager and held it menacingly to the blackfish's neck.
"Holy crap!"
"Are you out of your mind, old man? What can you do if you're not polite?"
"If you bark at me again, even if I can't kill you, I'll at least piss in your mouth so you know what kind of food I'm good at!"
Others were hesitant, but Cao Meng's fierce temper flared up immediately.
If Wei Kong and the others hadn't held him back, this guy probably would have actually run over and peed on the village chief's head.
"Erwazi..."
Just as everyone was arguing and it seemed like a fight could break out at any moment, an old voice came from the courtyard next door.
"Alright, the Emperor meant well."
"If the emperor wants to investigate Sidaoqiao, then let the emperor investigate Sidaoqiao."
"but……"
"We need to say this upfront."
"There are indeed some problems with Sidaoqiao. We are just ordinary people who don't understand anything about righteousness. We just want a peaceful life."
"I only beg you officials, regardless of life or death, not to involve us in the matter of Sidaoqiao."
"There are some things you're not afraid of; you're all formidable individuals."
"but……"
"We ordinary folks are afraid."
"Don't let your inability to solve the problem backfire and anger certain entities, leaving us to suffer instead."
"Cough...cough cough..."
The voice was weak and feeble, suggesting someone who was very old.
However, the other party never appeared.
To Xu An's surprise, the previously arrogant village chief actually put down his weapon after hearing this voice.
"It's over, everyone's gone, everyone's gone!"
The village chief shouted angrily.
The people around dispersed, but before leaving, their eyes were filled with hatred as they looked at Xu An and the others.
"Let's go to Sidaoqiao!"
With the villagers no longer blocking the way, Blackfish said in a deep voice.
Fearing that they would be blocked and delayed again, the group hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, Xu An couldn't help but speak up.
"The way those people looked at us was strange."
"They seem to hate us."
Everyone nodded in agreement; they had noticed it too.
"Could it be that the night patrolmen who came earlier had a conflict with them?"
Gu Ning guessed.
"Have we already had a night patrol come here before?"
Chen Yan asked curiously.
"The Yellow River Fourth Bridge mission has a difficulty rating of four stars. Since there is a difficulty rating, it means that there have already been night patrols ahead of us."
Xu An said in a deep voice.
If a place has never been explored before, there will be no difficulty rating.
"Let me check!"
Zhang Lingxuan quickly brought up the virtual display on her watch, logged into the website, and wanted to check.
