Chapter 301 Happy Enemies
Dafeng, the chief night watchman’s office.
Several large courtyards with three entrances are connected to one another, with an attic standing in the middle. Night watchmen in black clothes and holding gongs are coming in and out with stern expressions.
Unlike the majestic Xuan Jing Si headquarters that stretches for miles, the Night Watchmen's Office is much smaller in comparison.
After all, the latter does not have as many functions as the former, so the number of people and scale are naturally slightly smaller.
But the couplets carved on the two pillars of the gate are quite impressive:
All evil is eradicated, and the sound of the night lights up.
Wow, look at them.
Recalling the words in front of Xuan Jing Si's gate, "I have no wish to kill people, but I do this because of the order from Heaven", Wei Changtian suddenly felt that the two "special service agencies" were at different levels.
One is to eliminate evil from the world, the other is to consolidate the imperial power.
It is obvious that the original intention of establishing Xuan Jing Si was not as "noble" as others.
However, since the Xuan Jing Division has basically lost its function of "protecting imperial power" and has completely become the private power of the Wei family, this sentence has become a decoration.
He sighed inwardly and shifted his gaze to the people standing in front of the black door.
Before Wei Changtian could speak, the leader stepped forward and introduced himself:
"Master Wei, I am Pei Dajun, the night watchman and commander."
"Sir, you are willing to help us subdue Yama. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the millions of people in Fengyuan."
“.”
The commander-in-chief, the second in command of the night watchmen.
Wei Changtian nodded and responded with a smile:
"Master Pei, don't thank me yet. Let's discuss how to kill that monster."
"Yes, Master Wei, Your Highness Princess, please come in."
Pei Dajun stepped aside to make way, and at the same time bowed to the expressionless Li Wutong.
However, the latter turned a blind eye to it and kept a sullen face, as if someone owed her money.
"Well"
Seeing Li Wutong's reaction, Pei Dajun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
He adjusted his mood and was about to briefly introduce the basic situation of the night watchman to Wei Changtian, but Li Wutong suddenly spoke at this time:
"Master Wei, how do the night watchmen of Dafeng compare to your Daning Xuanjing Division?"
"There's nothing like it."
Wei Changtian didn't even look at Li Wutong.
"Humph! I'm afraid you don't dare to compete."
Seeing that Wei Changtian was not falling for it, Li Wutong whispered a few words to save his dignity and then bit her lip and stopped talking.
Everyone, including Pei Dajun, didn't know what to say when they saw the look on their faces, and they became more and more confused.
Hmm? Why is Master Wei so cold to Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Could it be that the two of them were not just flirting, but there was really some grudge between them? Or... what is that word called?
Someone frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he finally saw through the relationship between Wei Changtian and Li Wutong.
Joyous enemies!
Yes! They are a pair of bickering lovers! Half an hour later.
Although Wei Changtian promised to kill the monster named Yanluo, it was not so easy to do.
First of all, how to let Wei Changtian face this monster directly is a problem.
According to previous experience, the time, place, and target of this thing's crimes are completely random, so it is undoubtedly unrealistic to sit back and wait for it to happen. The only way is to lure it out in some way.
The night watchman has already made a complete plan for this.
Basically, all the boys and girls in Fengyuan City were concentrated in a small area as much as possible, and then countless secret sentries were set up in this area to monitor any movement at all times.
In this way, as long as the monster starts killing people, the night watchman will be able to notice it immediately and notify Wei Changtian who is also lying in ambush nearby, and then the latter will take action to kill the monster.
The whole plan sounds simple, and it would be difficult for the murderer to fall into such a trap if he was a human being.
Fortunately, this monster seems to have no intelligence, and does not have the ability of "counter-reconnaissance".
Sixty years ago, night watchmen successfully used this method to lure monsters out, so it should work today.
“.”
"Master Wei, that's basically it."
"I have already arranged this matter. In about ten days, all the remaining children in the city will be gathered near the princess's mansion. Our people will also set up a dragnet around it."
"Before that, you can still walk around Fengyuan City, but after everything is arranged, I hope you can go out as little as possible."
"After all, although this monster is not intelligent, this matter is of great importance, so it is best to succeed in one go."
Pei Dajun finished talking about his plan and finally had time to drink some tea.
Wei Changtian had been listening very carefully, so he didn't have too many questions at the moment.
To put it bluntly, it is a trap set with "food" as bait.
Gather all the children in the city together. If a monster wants to eat people, it can only appear near the princess's mansion. Then you will have the opportunity to arrive in time and kill the monster.
"Master Pei, I understand the plan."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then frowned: "But what if this monster refuses to show up?"
"Master Wei, you can rest assured about this."
Pei Dajun replied in a deep voice: "Whether it was the incident in Jingning Prefecture or Huailing Prefecture, as long as there are children under the age of six in the city, this demon will definitely show up and commit crimes."
"Oh, that's good."
Wei Changtian asked thoughtfully, "Also, isn't it said that this monster can transform into a virtual body? In this case, even if we find it, wouldn't it still be very easy for it to escape?"
“This is indeed a bit troublesome, but it takes about a hundred breaths for it to transform from solid to virtual, and even after it transforms into a virtual body, it does not disappear without a trace.”
Pei Dajun replied: "As long as you can go to the scene of the incident as soon as possible after receiving the signal, there is a high probability that you will be able to make it in time."
"Understood."
Wei Changtian nodded and asked the last question: "Master Pei, nothing can be guaranteed to be perfect. What if we fail to kill this monster in the end?"
"this."
Pei Dajun exchanged a glance with the people around him, then replied with a wry smile: "Master Wei, to be honest, if we fail to kill this monster before June 15, nearly 10 million people in Fengyuan will begin to evacuate the city one after another."
Have you left a month to avoid risks?
"I understand."
Wei Changtian understood and picked up the teacup to take a sip of tea.
Pei Dajun on the other side also confirmed again: "Master Wei, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Not for now, by the way."
Wei Changtian suddenly coughed dryly and asked with a strange expression: "Hey, Master Pei, is there anyone named Xu Qian'an among your night watchmen?"
"Xu Qian'an?"
Pei Dajun didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly asked this. After a pause, he answered truthfully: "There is no such person."
"oh."
Wei Changtian let out a long sigh and asked, "What about Bai Youheng?"
“This person.”
Pei Dajun's expression suddenly became strange.
"Yes."
