Chapter 626 If I say you are guilty, you are guilty
The trunk of the taxi was wide open, like a huge metal mouth, and half of Zuo Bai's body was stuffed in it.
"Did the Night's Watch just happen to be passing by, or was he drawn here by someone? It can't be fate, right?"
Zuo Bai analyzed silently in his heart, the chip in his head running at high speed, simulating various possibilities, but no emotion could be seen on his face.
It’s just that... the gaze of that relatively thin night watchman was too scorching.
The gaze was like an invisible flame, giving him an extremely strong feeling, as if the flame wanted to strip him naked and eat him.
Zuo Bai was very familiar with this kind of gaze.
As a highly regarded star scientist in District 6, he not only possesses a handsome appearance that has been scientifically optimized, but also has enviable wealth.
Whether he is attending a public event or walking on the street, there will always be various women casting passionate glances at him, as if they want to "eat" him alive.
He was used to it.
However, the gaze of the night watchman in front of him was hotter than any other gaze he had ever had before, and even made Zuo Bai feel a little physically uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect that there are also fanatical fans of mine among the Night Watch." He thought lightly in his heart.
Zuo Bai calmly withdrew his gaze. He was also very experienced in dealing with fans.
There are only two ways to deal with it: either make it into a "bedmate specimen" or just keep a straight face and deal with it coldly.
Zuo Bai thought to himself:
"Fine, you can stare at me, just don't look at the villa next door. There's a nest of [Fates] hiding in that yard."
If it were an ordinary fool who was held hostage, he would probably have some crooked ideas at this moment, trying to use the power of the Night's Watch to escape the control of [Fate].
But Zuo Bai was calm, he was a smart man and preferred to cover up for [fate].
He glanced at the yard vaguely from the corner of his eye.
The yard was quiet, and naturally there was no one around.
Zuo Bai certainly wouldn't think that [Fate] was hiding because it was afraid of the Night Watchmen.
Even if we analyze it purely from a mathematical point of view, the number of people in the yard has an absolute advantage.
What's more, as a senior member who has been in the cult for many years, he has some idea of who is more terrifying!
That is the industry code nurtured by countless predecessors in the same industry.
Zuo Bai was not very clear about how other evil organizations conducted on-the-job training.
Anyway, in the Corpse Cult, all new members must get full marks in a course called [Emergency Response Plan for Fate] during their induction training in order to pass the training.
Not even a point less will do, it is extremely strict.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Corpse Cult has compiled a set of detailed operational guidelines for this course that is comparable to a military combat manual.
Zuo Bai already knew the contents of the manual by heart, and he was now following it accordingly.
Zuo Bai remembered the entire manual clearly, a total of 171,351 words.
But if we want to summarize it in the most concise language, it can be summed up in one word:
"lick"!
To expand it:
Lick, lick with your life, lick with your soul, even if you lick until you are shattered to pieces, until you have nothing left, you must not anger those lunatics!
Sacrificing you to save the entire organization is a great merit. The organization will remember you forever and burn paper for you during festivals.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of most evil peers, [Destiny] is not an organization at all, but a natural disaster, a moving natural disaster.
It is impossible for humans to overcome natural disasters.
If you encounter one, you can either pray that you can escape by luck, or cooperate obediently and beg the other party to show mercy.
Ultimately, you have to accept your fate!
But if you meet the Night's Watch... haha.
The Corpse Cult has never conducted any training related to this. What does this mean?
It means you can play freely!
Successfully disguised his identity and slipped away right under the nose of the night watchman?
——The organization will recognize your wisdom and potential, and give you credit!
When the disguise is exposed, do you decisively choose to evacuate urgently?
——The organization appreciates your ability to judge the situation and your survival instinct, and understands!
What if you choose to face it head-on?
——Excellent! This is exactly what the organization expected. This "style" and "guts" of the evil camp must be greatly commended!
And if you can kill a night watchman and send his body back to the church...no need to say anything else, a promotion and a raise in salary are just around the corner!
All in all, the Night's Watch is a "man-made disaster" at best.
In the face of man-made disasters, the Corpse Cult is very tough and encourages people to fight if they don't obey!
Therefore, at this moment, facing the two night watchmen who suddenly appeared, Zuo Bai did not have the slightest thought of "driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger" or escaping in the chaos.
His only thought now was to pray that these two night watchmen who appeared out of nowhere would get out of here quickly, stop standing here and getting in the way, and never disturb him from risking his life to improve his [Destiny] favorability.
Of course, his way of gaining favorability is to pack himself up and put himself in the trunk.
However, the opposite happened.
The thin night watchman completely ignored his cold face and continued to stare at him intently.
Zuo Bai also sensed something was wrong at this time, and felt the dangerous signals coming from the other party that far exceeded those of a "fanatical fan".
He was startled:
"No, why are you staring at me?! The Night's Watch is in charge of evil and sacrifices, but they can't control people who voluntarily crawl into the trunk, right?"
"Besides, there's no law in downtown that forbids crawling into a car trunk."
Besides, Zuo Bai is an upright scientist. Even if he lacks some humanity, he is still full of the breath of science and technology.
It contains zero percent of evil sacrifice, okay!
Zuo Bai frowned slightly and cursed in his heart: "This is inexplicable."
He decided to ignore the night watchman's unreasonable stare.
Completing the "self-packing" was the most urgent task. He lifted his foot, ready to put the other foot still outside the car into the trunk...
At this moment, the tall night watchman seemed to notice his companion's (Feng Yuhuai) overly focused gaze.
He followed his companion's gaze and looked at Zuo Bai, then waved the detector at Zuo Bai through the air.
Several thin, living-like sensory tentacles protruded from the top of the instrument, scanning silently.
The tall night watchman glanced down at the screen. The values were jumping steadily, and finally stopped at the green spectrum representing "absolute safety".
"Drilling into the trunk, that's a bit weird..."
The tall night watchman's voice, altered by the mask, sounded low and lacked emotion, with a businesslike indifference.
"But the detectors haven't responded. The radiation levels are within safe limits. There are no signs of distortion, and no fel resonance has been detected. So, it has nothing to do with us. Let's not get involved."
He was now almost certain that the slender companion next to him was a newly recruited night watchman.
Because only this kind of newcomer will be full of curiosity and "sense of justice" about all kinds of "abnormalities" encountered on the road.
They see everyone as a potential threat, and everything as needing to be "saved," as if the world can't turn without them.
He remembered that when he first joined the Night Watch, he was also so passionate. He saw every abnormal energy fluctuation as a beckoning of evil, and listened to every scream in the middle of the night as if the victim was crying for help.
What happened next?
Later he gradually understood that all kinds of strange things were happening in this world every moment.
Tube?
I can’t manage it!
The Night Watchmen only need to do their job as Night Watchmen. Their duty is to maintain the "purity" of human beings, not to protect human beings.
There will be no good consequences for meddling in other people's affairs. Instead of being grateful for their "enthusiasm", other law enforcement agencies will become more and more disgusted with them for extending their hands too far.
This is the sense of boundaries and discipline that must be maintained within the system, and night watchmen are no exception.
However, Feng Yuhuai did not understand these twists and turns, and he would not listen to his companions' "senior night watchman philosophy".
She still didn't know why she wore the skin of the Night's Watch, but now that she had put on this skin, she was a Night's Watch.
She didn't understand the coming long night, nor did she understand the noble mission of maintaining "human purity".
She herself was a monster lurking among humans, and then, she was captured by an inexplicable night watchman and joined the night watch team.
So far,
Feng Yuhuai's understanding of his black robe was very simple and clear - a legal license to kill!
This was the lesson she learned that day in Transit Town when the Survey Corps went on a frenzied cleansing.
That was the lesson she learned from the night watchman who killed the Survey Corps soldier without saying anything and gave her this skin.
A fugitive, already exposed evil ritual parasite, suddenly became a Night Watchman? ! !
This was a hundred times more magical than when she woke up on the operating table in a black clinic and found herself transformed into a monster!
If we say that the cold operating table and the subsequent "rebirth" gave Feng Yuhuai a second physical life, it turned her from an ordinary high school girl into an inhuman existence.
Then, when she was forced to put on the skin of the Night Watchman and wear the "black mask" to isolate herself from evil, it brought a second "rebirth" to her mind.
At that moment, her mind experienced an awakening that was far more incredible than the transformation of her body.
The cold mask fit tightly against her face, isolating her from the polluted air outside and seemingly isolating her from everything in her past.
An unprecedented and strange sense of "security" enveloped her, a feeling warmer than her father's arms when she was a child.
Once upon a time, she was like a brainless beast, believing in the most primitive law of the jungle.
She kills people, eats midnight snacks, and grabs life energy. Ultimately, it all stems from her extreme desire for personal power.
She naively believed that strong enough personal strength was the key to climbing the ladder to heaven and the source of her sense of security.
But now, Feng Yuhuai understood!
Through the narrow holes in the black mask, like the bars of a prison, she glimpsed the deeper operating principles of human society:
The most powerful force is never the fists and feet of an individual, but the gorgeous, solid and "legitimate" coat woven by power.
What can always stay by your side and give you an unparalleled sense of security is not some illusory family love or friendship, but the power that you can hold firmly in your hands!
Power is the best family!
The company of power is the best company for family!
And now, Feng Yuhuai’s best “family” is the dark mask on her body.
(P.S.: [Masquerade] wears a white mask, and she wears a black mask. Just thinking about it makes me think they are a perfect match.)
In the past, if Feng Yuhuai wanted to have a midnight snack, she had to eat it stealthily like a rat in a gutter, for fear of being discovered.
But now?
With the skin of the Night Watch, she didn't want to be sneaky anymore.
Now she can eat whoever she wants, wherever she wants, and whenever she wants!
Otherwise, wouldn't her Night Watchman's skin be worn in vain?
Is she worthy of the "trust" and "company" of her "family"?
Don’t think that Feng Yuhuai’s ideas are extreme, one-sided or not dialectical enough.
In the final analysis, she is just a pretty high school girl who has undergone physical transformation and ideological metamorphosis in a very short period of time, but is still inexperienced in the world.
She was just hungry, wanted to eat, and wanted the company of her family. What could be wrong with her?
Now, Feng Yuhuai wanted to eat Zuo Bai very much, and he couldn't help but eat it for a moment.
The tall night watchman's warning was like the buzzing of mosquitoes in her ears, and she didn't hear a word of it.
Her awakened brain was completely occupied by the hunger for food and the fullness of power.
She pretended to wave the detector in her hand, and sure enough, a boring green light appeared on the screen, but so what?
Under the pitch-black mask, Feng Yuhuai's face slowly formed an extremely sweet smile, and a strange red light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
She threw the detector to the ground as if it were trash.
The casing of the sophisticated instrument hit the stone, making a crisp cracking sound. The screen flickered a few times and then went out completely.
"Oh--"
A very soft giggle escaped from under the mask.
Next second!
"call out--!"
Feng Yuhuai suddenly exerted force with his black combat boots, and the ground suddenly cracked like a fragile biscuit, exploding into a circle of fine spider-web-like cracks.
The mental method of "Sunflower Taoist Canon" was running wildly in her meridians, and the piercing yin energy penetrated into her limbs and bones like a cold wave.
This set of skills was a "welcome gift" given to her when she joined the Night's Watch, but it unexpectedly resonated perfectly with her physique.
With just a little practice, she made rapid progress and was able to perform the moves with considerable skill.
Only a blurry afterimage was left at the spot. Her whole body suddenly stretched out and blurred in the night, and a long trail of ghostly shadows was dragged behind her.
This strange movement was surprisingly similar to the ghostly shadow that [Masked] had created in the sewer that day.
Feng Yuhuai was holding a gust of cold wind, but the air was filled with the awe-inspiring declaration of justice:
"My eyes are the best detector! If I see you are guilty, you are guilty!!"
The wide black robe rustled, and the wind blew in waves, making whimpering sounds.
This voice gradually turned into a thousand hoarse whispers in Feng Yuhuai's ears, but it was like her "family" unconditionally trusting her, encouraging her, accompanying her, and whispering madly in her ear:
"That's right! He's guilty! Eat him! Eat him!!"
