Quiet city.
Late at night, somewhere in the suburbs.
There were dead trees all around, tombstones standing tall, and a gloomy atmosphere, making it look like a mass grave. From time to time, the sharp and shrill cries of crows could be heard, which seemed extremely terrifying in the dark night.
Not far from here, an old house was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Upon closer inspection, one could see two large red lanterns hanging high at the door, with red wedding characters on them, proving that the owner of the house was holding a classical wedding.
At the same time, groups of pedestrians were walking towards the old house, their faces filled with joy, and they were talking to each other from time to time, seeming to be very excited.
A familiar figure emerged from the crowd!
It was the old con man who had regained his middle-aged appearance.
"Friend, what a coincidence..."
With just a few words, the old swindler quickly became good friends with these passers-by.
"Brother, why are people getting married so late at night?" The old liar pointed at the old house curiously.
"Who told you that those who get married must be human?"
"You mean there's..."
The old liar showed a surprised expression, and when he was about to speak out, a bald man next to him covered his mouth.
…
"Are you an awakened person who just came to You City?"
The old liar nodded.
"No wonder you don't know. Let me tell you, it's okay in You City during the day, but at night, whether you can survive depends entirely on the mood of the one inside. It is the [Night Wandering God] of You City!" said the bald man seriously.
"Is it really that weird? How dare you call yourself a night-wandering god?"
"Hiss... You can't say that. This Night Wanderer is a genuine fifth-level alien spirit. The You City Security Bureau has been unable to defeat it despite numerous attempts. Don't let me get in trouble!"
The bald man looked frightened.
"This Night Wanderer really loves beautiful women. I heard he's planning to marry ten brides at once. I got some news and rushed over to pay my respects on the mountaintop, hoping for peace!"
The bald man explained the purpose of his visit.
"Good brother, I just came to You City and don't know anything. Can you take me to participate? Please." The old liar clumsily handed the bald man a thick stack of red envelopes, and the bald man reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, I don't think you look like a spy. Come with me in and don't talk nonsense!"
Then the two of them arrived at the door of the old house. The bald man took out the invitation and was about to cross the threshold with the old liar when the old liar seemed to have discovered something and pointed at the portrait at the door and said, "Brother, what does that mean?"
Seeing this, the bald man's face changed slightly. He immediately pulled the old liar into the yard and sat down in a corner.
…
"Didn't I tell you to stop talking?"
"The man with the knife on his back in the portrait recently came to our You City. I heard he's quite powerful. In just a few days, he solved many of the You City Security Bureau's strange cases. No spirit could last more than three seconds in his hands!"
"He has now been placed at the top of the list of unwelcome spirits in You City. Anyone who encounters him and reveals his whereabouts to the Night Wanderer will receive its protection!"
"Is this true?" the old liar pretended to be surprised.
"Of course it's true. As long as you know his whereabouts and reveal them to the Night Wanderer, you can sleep peacefully in Phantom City. No other spirits will dare to trouble you!"
"But don't worry about the news about the man with the knife in his back today. Someone has already told the Night Wanderer. More than a dozen pairs of eyes are staring at him. He is currently enjoying life in a high-end club. Otherwise, how could the Night Wanderer dare to get married here?"
"The two places are dozens of kilometers apart. Even if he found out, he wouldn't be able to get here..."
"Don't ask any more questions. Talk less and eat more!"
After hearing the explanation, the old liar showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Soon, the courtyard was filled with guests, and for a while everyone was toasting each other, singing and dancing.
The old liar kept wandering around on social media and found that most of them were low-level awakeners!
Their purpose is the same as that of the bald man, to take advantage of this festive day to send a gift and pray for peace.
After all, they will develop in You City in the future, and they are not like those combat awakeners who make a living by hunting alien spirits.
…
"The Night Wanderer God has arrived!"
Soon, the sharp cry of a strange spirit spread throughout the courtyard. Everyone put down their wine glasses, their eyes shifted to one place, and they bowed slightly to show respect, waiting for the appearance of the "Night Wanderer" of You City.
The first to appear were ten brides. Because they were covered with veils, people could not see them clearly, but it was not difficult to guess that they were all beauties just by looking at their figures.
What a pity!
Everyone could only feel regret in their hearts.
Then, the real culprit appeared. A tall man in a red robe stood on the stage. A stiff smile appeared on his dead-like face, and the cold aura emanating from his body made everyone shiver.
It is the [Night Wanderer] that is feared by everyone in You City!
Fifth-level alien spirit!
The Security Bureau has been unable to defeat it despite its repeated sieges. Even many ordinary people, including some low-level awakeners, will hang its portrait in their homes to pray for protection from harm.
For them, there is no concept of justice and evil. As long as they are not the ones who die every night, they will secretly rejoice and believe that worship is useful. If the person they worship dies, it means that their hearts are not pious enough.
…
What happened next was just like a normal wedding.
After a simple worship, the Night Wanderer gestured for the guests to sit down and drink, and then announced something.
To thank all the guests for coming to its wedding, it decided to share the brides!
