A man with a headscarf said softly, "But boss, money can be earned back, but life is gone..."
“Yeah, yeah,” said a long-haired, non-mainstream man next to him. “What if we act rashly and fail, and our IDs are locked by the capital's defense system? We might be blown up by missiles and lightning strikes before that Black Angel's war machine even kills us…”
"Look at your pathetic self!" The one-eyed leader glared at them.
He then took out a bundle of black scrolls covered with runes and seals, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If we fail, we can use this to get away."
......
Inside the city, smoke rose and dust filled the air; the fires caused by the recent bombing continued, with flames still burning fiercely.
The road surface was blasted into one large crater after another, and in almost every crater lay the remains of a monster.
It was indeed wreckage. Whether it was those werewolves or those giant monster worms, they were basically blown beyond recognition. It would be considered good if any intact body parts remained.
The main force of the night watchmen arrived at the scene one after another and began firefighting operations in an orderly manner.
"So that's how it is..."
After listening to Lin Nai's story about Qi Lin, Captain Xu's expression became somewhat complicated: "I really didn't expect this..."
“I want to know.” Linna pointed with her chin at Qi Lin, who was being interrogated by the Night Watchmen not far away: “What will be his sentence after he’s brought back?”
Captain Xu paused for a moment, then said, "No matter what his reasons are, he is ultimately colluding with demons and has killed many innocent people. He must be executed."
“Hmm…” Lin Nai pondered for a moment, then nodded: “That makes sense.”
At this time, Chu Men, Mu Xun, and Bai Shou also returned.
Apart from Mu Xun, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, suggesting that they must have engaged in a fierce battle with the invading monsters before the city's automatic defense system was activated.
Linna looked at them: "Are you all alright?"
"It's a minor issue." Fang Wu thumped his chest. "This injury is nothing... cough cough cough cough..."
Linnaeus: "..."
At that moment, two night watchmen came over with a notebook in their hands.
“Mr. Linnaeus,” a young night watchman said, “thank you for helping us solve this werewolf case. Please sign your name here.”
"No problem." Lin Nai took the pen, ready to sign, but suddenly paused.
Then, Linnaeus raised his head, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the young Night's Watchman in front of him.
The young night watchman felt a chill run down his spine under Linnaeus's gaze. He gave a stiff smile and said, "W-what's wrong?...?"
The other middle-aged night watchman next to him also became nervous.
“I’ve been using the name ‘White Fang’ ever since I came to the capital,” Linnaeus smiled. “I’d like to know, where did you learn the name ‘Linnaeus’?”
The young night watchman's expression changed.
Not far away, the other members of the Eight-Sided Blade, disguised and mixed among the other Night Watchers, also changed their expressions.
Fang Wu, Meng Feifei, Hua Yingwen, and the others around them were also stunned for a moment.
Only Ye Wan'er and Mu Xun reacted immediately.
"boom!"
Flames burst forth from Ye Wan'er's hands, and her eyes instantly became exceptionally sharp!
"Clang!"
Mu Xun suddenly drew his bronze sword and thrust it at the two night watchmen!
"Oh no! We've been exposed..."
The young night watchman's heart skipped a beat; he knew something was wrong.
Seeing this, he simply stopped pretending, dropped his disguise, and threw two smoke bombs on the ground.
"Bang!"
Green, toxic fumes quickly spread!
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses.
Truman frowned slightly and said, "Everyone be careful, this smoke is poisonous!"
Linnaeus was all too familiar with these smoke bombs.
"Specially made poisonous smoke bombs from a gene company..."
"It's the same old routine again..."
Lin Nai thought to herself, "These guys really have no originality whatsoever..."
He activated the Gray Eyes.
"Boss! We should go!"
"knew!"
Then another man, disguised as a night watchman, pulled out a bundle of black scrolls.
With a "whoosh," he suddenly unfurled the scroll and laid it on the ground. The entire bundle of scrolls, when spread out, was more than two meters long!
The scroll was covered with various runes and matrices, concealing a powerful force.
The man quickly formed hand seals and pressed them onto the scroll.
"Void Escape Formation!"
"Buzz—!"
The power of the runes within the scroll was activated.
The ground flashed brightly for a moment.
Lin Nai frowned slightly, but she was already enveloped by the light and unable to escape...
......
The thick, green, toxic smoke dissipated.
However, Linnaeus had already disappeared!
The young watchman who had just approached Linnaeus also disappeared!
"Holy crap?" Meng Feifei exclaimed in shock, "Where's Brother Nai?!"
Mu Xun still held the bronze rust sword in his hand. He looked around and finally walked to the blank black scroll on the ground, picked it up, and said, "It's a forced teleportation scroll."
Truman looked around and said, "Those Night Watchmen have all disappeared too."
"Huh?" Fang Wu was taken aback.
“If I remember correctly, there were 27 Night’s Watchmen here just now,” Truman said, adjusting his glasses. “But now there are only 20 left.”
Hua Lingze frowned: "So, seven of them are imposters..."
“Hmm,” Truman said, “It seems that someone disguised themselves as a Night Watchman, took the opportunity to get close to Big Brother, and forcibly took him away from here using a teleportation scroll.”
"No, there are eight."
Night snorted coldly, her scarlet eyes gleaming with a sharp light, as if she were somewhat angry: "I kept one."
The girl tightened her fingers slightly.
"Uh...uh...!"
The girl was gripping the neck of a middle-aged night watchman.
The middle-aged night watchman was pale and struggling desperately, almost suffocating.
Nightfall coldly raised his hand and waved it, and the middle-aged night watchman in front of him lost his disguise and reverted to his true appearance.
He was a non-mainstream man with long hair.
He is also a member of the Eight-Sided Demon Blade.
He was originally going to be teleported away with the teleportation array, but Ye Wan'er grabbed his neck with one hand.
The unconventional man was on the verge of tears.
Oh no...
I haven't gotten on the bus yet...
