Chapter 21 You call this just an ordinary, unremarkable person?



After what had just happened, Zhou Ping frequently turned to look at Shang Yan as they walked.

He was very worried. "From now on, you must call me when you go out at night."

Although we couldn't tell what that tentacle monster was, it must have been very dangerous.

Why does this thing exist in Nishizu City?

How many people has it harmed?

"Don't worry, I have plenty of strength and skills!" Seeing Zhou Ping's concern for him, Shang Yan stretched out his arm in front of him, showing him the smooth lines of his arm.

Zhou Ping:......

Her arms are quite thin; they don't look like she's ever exercised.

"Zhou Ping, you also have a forbidden realm?" Seeing Zhou Ping staring at his arm without speaking, Shang Yan put his arm down and moved closer to Zhou Ping.

"What?" Zhou Ping asked, somewhat puzzled. "I don't have any special abilities."

He was just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Shang Yan: ...

When Zhou Ping said that, did he believe it?

"Wait a minute, you don't know about the Night's Watch yet?" Shang Yan was genuinely confused. It was the summer of 2014, had Zhou Ping not joined the Night's Watch yet?

"What is that?" Zhou Ping looked at Shang Yan with some confusion. He reached out and touched Shang Yan's forehead, and put his hand down after finding nothing unusual.

Shang Yan blinked. He looked at Zhou Ping and thought, "Wait a minute, Zhou Ping already has the strength of the Pool Realm, so why doesn't he know about the Night Watchmen?"

How did he cultivate?

No, could it really be that I learned it while reading those martial arts novels?

"It's an organization..." Shang Yan opened his mouth, "If I told you, would you believe me?"

Although he is ill, he dares to say that what he is about to say is true.

Zhou Ping looked at him with surprise, "Yeah, I believe you."

Shang Yan then told Zhou Ping everything he knew about the Night Watchmen and the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"You mean the world is dangerous right now, and that monster that just appeared is called mysterious, and that these kinds of creatures aren't only found in Xijin City...?"

"Mmm!" Shang Yan nodded repeatedly.

"The Night Watch is an organization that guards the Great Xia. You used your abilities at the hospital before, and the Night Watch there discovered it. They invited you to join?"

"Yes, speaking of which, I haven't contacted them since I came out..." Shang Yan planned to call Zhao Kongcheng when he got back.

"So you must also have a forbidden realm, but I don't know what it is..." He seems very powerful. In a short period of time, after reading a novel to pass the time, Zhou Ping was able to cultivate to the Pool Realm without a teacher.

"I don't know, Shangyan. Remember to call me when you go out in the future," Zhou Ping emphasized again, "especially at night."

After learning about these things from Shang Yan, Zhou Ping was very worried about him.

The Night's Watch...should he join the Night's Watch too?

Shang Yan might encounter even stronger mysterious figures among the Night Watchmen. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but frown.

"I don't even go out at night," Shang Yan said with a wry smile.

Since he got sick, he hasn't even had the right to stay up late.

Every evening, after he had eaten and taken his medicine, Shang Qingqian would run into her room and forcibly take away his phone, and would also give him a fierce warning not to stay up late.

Thinking of his phone, Shang Yan reached into his pocket and pulled out a smartphone.

After opening the green messaging app, Shang Yan handed the phone to Zhou Ping, saying, "We haven't added each other's contact information yet. Add me quickly, and it will be much easier for us to stay in touch!"

Zhou Ping had already accepted the gift Shang Yan had given him. He took out the new smartphone from his pocket and handed it to Shang Yan.

After turning on his phone, Shang Yan waved it in front of Zhou Ping and said, "See? We're friends now..."

He handed the phone to Zhou Ping, "We'll chat on this from now on!"

“Okay.” Zhou Ping took it and glanced at Shang Yan’s online name.

Don't treat me like a human being.

Zhou Ping:......

Actually, in a way, this name is quite fitting, isn't it?

The two walked hand in hand toward the Sunshine Community. After dropping Shang Yan off at his doorstep, Zhou Ping stood on the stairs, ready to go downstairs.

"Zhou Ping, are you sure you can go home alone?" Shang Yan called out to him as he was about to go downstairs.

Zhou Ping turned his head upon hearing this, and said, "Yes, that's fine."

"Then you have to text me when you get back!" Shang Yan waved his phone in his hand.

"Okay," the monk said goodbye again, and Zhou Ping turned and went downstairs.

On the way back, we didn't encounter anything mysterious. It's unbelievable that such a creature exists in Nishizu City...

According to Shang Yan, this mystery exists not only in Xijin City, but throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

For ordinary people, encountering something mysterious is almost always a death sentence. He can't control other places, but in Xijin City...

On his way back, Zhou Ping deliberately retraced his steps, but he didn't see the mysterious figure he had just killed, and the manhole cover that had been lifted had been restored to its original state.

"Gone?" After the mysterious figures were killed, did their bodies also disappear?

Zhou Ping looked around and, seeing that there was no one around, bent down and reached out to lift the manhole cover.

He was very strong, and in no time he had lifted the manhole cover and put it aside.

A foul, fishy smell hit him, and Zhou Ping frowned.

Yes, that smell is the same as the tentacle monster that was just killed, mixed with a sticky, bloody smell. He definitely can't be wrong.

Is there anything else down there?

This road is the only way for Shang Yan to find him. What if there are still mysteries inside, and Shang Yan is attacked when he passes the manhole cover?

Moreover, people come and go during the day, and if there were another mysterious creature like the tentacle monster below, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhou Ping looked around, his body tense. He picked up a tree branch and then jumped cleanly and nimbly into the sewer.

He wouldn't let that happen. If he could kill the mysterious one time, he could do it a second time.

Sizzle sizzle—

The woman wearing a headset stood under the dim streetlights. "Captain, someone's coming. Their purpose is clear. They just lifted the manhole cover and jumped in."

"His action of jumping down was swift and decisive; it's possible that he killed the mysterious figure in the pool."

When the mystery appeared, the Night Watch team in Nishizu City was mobilized, but unexpectedly, one of them escaped through the sewers.

When Li Wanyi caught up with the creature, she saw the mysterious corpse of the tentacle monster. The person who killed the monster must have been in a hurry to leave and didn't dispose of it.

After cleaning up the mysterious corpse, Li Wanyi put the lifted manhole cover back on.

She observed that the tentacle monster's head had been cleanly severed. Such a clean and efficient method meant that the person who killed it was at least at the Pool Realm level.

That person might very well come back to deal with the mysterious corpse... Li Wanyi decided to wait here and wait for him to come back.
