It was 3:36 am.
By midnight, the busy streets around the Flower City Workers' Gymnasium had quieted down, but the people who love the night still hadn't finished their revelry.
At the corner of the street, there is a multi-faceted building with a futuristic five-sided gate next to a gray frosted wall with metallic inscriptions - "The Underground world"
.
This is the only nightclub in Flower City that stays open after midnight, the "Underground World" that Bai Kai (Shui’s real name; literally means boiling water) referring.
The twisted glass corridor is lined with aquamarine gradient floor lights, as if a tunnel to a different dimension, and behind the half-hidden soundproof curtain, there is a dizzying light and the smell of tobacco, alcohol and perfume.
Bai Kai, dressed in a white suit and cherry-color shirt, sat in the center of the nightclub, listened to the strong rhythmic electric sound, and looked at the young men and women dancing freely under the magic light of the dance floor, with a pair of deep and sharp eyes like hawks waiting for hunting.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and he took it out, it was Lu Yi Bei calling.
"Hello?
Lu Yi Bei? I'm playing in “The Underground world”! Do you want to come over and get high together?"
Xiao Bei is already an adult! It's better to come here and have some fun than to sleep with a copper statue in your arms every day! Bai Kai thought. That thing was given to him to watch over the house and calm it down, not for doing strange things!
One accidental screw-up and it would be a big problem!
"High your ass, I'm about to die! There's a monster outside of my door, no, window, I ......"
Lu Yi Bei's nervous words came from the other end of the phone, and the smile on Bai Kai's face instantly stiffened.
"Hello? Hello! Xiao Bei, you said monsters? How can there be monsters? Didn't I send you a Ming King statue?"
"......"
No more response came from the other end of the phone, and Bai Kai's expression gradually froze.
"Shit!"
"Xiao Bei, listen to me, no matter what happens, you must stay with the statue of the Great Ming King I gave you! Trust me, it's very useful!"
Not knowing whether Lu Yi Bei was still by the phone or not, Bai Kai spoke again at the phone, then turned his head to look at the center of the dance floor.
There, under the crowd of revelers, there was a blonde woman with a delicate figure, exquisite deep eyes and eyebrows, and an exotic appearance on her body, and she stood there twisting her waist and hips, as if emitting a strange magic power, eclipsing the people around her and focusing countless gazes.
Bai Kai gazed at the blonde girl, his eyes slightly narrowed, and viciously muttered to himself, "You'd better not do anything tonight, otherwise, when I come back, you’ll be in trouble!"
As if she heard Bai Kai's muttering to himself, the girl turned her head and glanced in the direction where he was, an awkward and stiff smile on her face.
"Humph!" Bai Kai coldly snorted, withdrew his gaze, casually threw the wine cup in his hand into the trash can beside him, and walked quickly towards the outside.
After leaving the nightclub and walking on the cold and empty street, Bai Kai's footsteps became faster and faster, complicated silver-white patterns surfaced on his cheeks and arms, his white suit fluttered in the strong wind, made cluttering sounds, and his polished pointed leather shoes rubbed a few sparks on the ground.
The next moment, along with a long-sword-out-of-its-sheath-like humming, an ancient chivalrous shadow wrapped around his whole body flashed, and Bai Kai's figure suddenly hurried, leaving a trail of white residue on the street.
Street entrance.
The traffic police who had waited for most of the night to check for drunk drivers had already felt sleepy. The speed detector suddenly sounded an alarm, which instantly woke up the two policemen and hurriedly pounced in front of the detector, download the video and slowing it down frame by frame, and then both of them were frozen in place.
" What the hell was that just now!?"
Looking at the figure with exaggerated running posture on the freeze frame image, the other traffic police officer whispered, "It seems to be a ...... wildly running pimp?"
"......"
A man dressed like a pimp, running wildly through the streets at over 73.2km/h speed in the middle of the night?
This maybe, probably be the rumored kaidan?
For a moment, the two men looked at each other and felt a little chill behind their backs.
In this cold autumn rainy night, not only do they have to work overtime to guard the safety of people, but they also have to endure the scare of " kaidan".
It's not easy to be on duty at night!
......
Flower City Folk Culture Research Authority.
In the quiet V office, Jiang Li was carefully flipping through the files by the bright desk lamp.
Outside the window, the breeze blew in with a few fresh and humid scents, and the diaphanous wind chimes along the window swayed gently with the wind, but did not make a single sound.
"Ding Dong--!"
The wind has stopped, but the wind chimes are still swaying and making a soft sound.
The fishbone shaped bell hammer hit the bell, first a tiny light sound reverberated in the wind, like a fine needle falling on smooth ceramic, a fine and clear sound, followed by a tinkling succession, the sound was clear and pleasant, but somehow it gave a feeling of nervous palpitation.
Hearing the wind bell, Jiang Li turned around, looked at the bell hammer that was violently hit with the bell, and slightly narrowed her eyes.
Is he hooked? It’s really fast.
The spell style that I had Ah hua secretly leave on that kid worked and pulled the wind bell, which means Mr. Rabbit's spiritual energy fluctuation appeared near him!
Jiang Li hurriedly picked up the phone on the table and called the little maid.
However......
A few seconds later, Jiang Li looked at the unanswered phone in her hand, her expression gradually became grave, her eyes changed several times in her clear eyes, and then she sighed softly, picked up the cane leaning on the side of her desk, left the office, and walked out of The Night of Justice Association
.
I had to go there myself. Jiang Li thought.
Although she didn't know why and Ah Hua, who had been planted to keep an eye on Lu Yi Bei, and the task force had lost contact, she put out the decoy, and she would not allow it to be harmed within her power!
On the rain-washed green stone road, Jiang Li limped forward with her cane, seemingly taking every step with difficulty, but her speed was not slow at all.
Soon, her thin back seemed to melt into the hazy smoke and rain of the ancient street, and then slowly melted away and disappeared into thin air.
......
The lock of the window was pried open by something, and a soft "click" echoed in the dimly lit apartment.
The cool breeze with a few wisps of rain poured in through the open window, pulling the gray curtains to sway. It can be vaguely seen that behind the curtain, there is a human figure with a rabbit's head, trying to squeeze its body into the open gap of the window.
During the panic, Lu Yi Bei's cell phone fell on the floor and falling into an invisible corner under the bed, the call had not been hung up, and Shui's anxious voice came intermittently from the earpiece.
"...... Stay with the Great Sun Ming King statue ...... is very useful ......"
And then the phone screen flickered twice and then went dark.
The statue of the Ming King? Lu Yi Bei froze, what time is this, how can Shui still believe in this kind of scam? It is the best seller on Amazon or what? Can this thing actually save my ass?
Although he complained about it inside but Lu Yi Bei still flung himself onto the bed and hugged his dear Ming King brother tightly!
A sincere heart can work wonders. "Pah, pah!"
The sound of both feet landing from a high place resounded in the living room, followed by a weird laughing.
"Aha, I come in!"
Hearing the odd laughing, Lu Yi Bei's head buzzed and he stopped thinking, subconsciously hugging the statue of the Ming King tightly, his knuckles whitened from excessive force, and the tingling sensation of electric shock spread from his scalp to the soles of his feet in an instant.
His eyes suddenly hurt as if they were burning, his vision was blurred for a while, and it was hard to tell whether it was reality or illusion with black lines twisting and dancing wildly in n his eyes.
The next moment, as if his whole body had entered into some strange state, the darkness began to fade away, he saw a picture of reverse colors, the red turned into turquoise, the blue turned into orange, the yellow became indigo, all the colors were sometimes distinct from each other, sometimes overlapping each other, and a gray mist floated between the gaps.
And then, his eyes suddenly brightened up, and his vision penetrated the four walls of the house, and he saw countless strange shadows.
The eyeball-like beads shrunk in a corner of the ceiling and did not move, several wigs sewn together, a fur shivering under the sofa, a tattered white nightgown curled up in a ball hiding behind the bathroom mirror, oozing large water stains, and ......
a drenched tall figure in a black cloak, dragging a bloodied crowbar in his hand, walked slowly forward.
"Snapping - snapping -!"
Strange footsteps echoed in the living room, from far to near, the sound of crowbar scratching on the floor made people felt chilly.
The wet footprints extended from under the windowsill to the stairway, "Mr. Rabbit" paused for a few seconds, then went up the stairs, with some hesitation, and as if he deliberately controlling his pace not to make sound.
"Thump - thump -!"
As the "Mr. Rabbit" was getting closer and closer to the upper floor, Lu Yi Bei's mouth made a puzzled sound.
"Huh? How…… “
He looked at the "Mr. Rabbit’s head, he can see through the rabbit hood, there’s a face of an ordinary man underneath the rabbit hood.
Wait! A passerby wearing a rabbit hood?
Not quite the same as what I saw in my dream, right?
Is ......
Is he not the Mr. Rabbit in the dream?
Lu Yi Bei thought and frowned, peeking his head forward to confirm the sight he had just seen, but a stinging pain came to his eyes at that moment.
The image in front of his eyes flickered twice like a bad signal, and returned to normal, plunging into darkness.
Lu Yi Bei, "......"
If it wasn't a kaidan, there might have a chance to fight!
But what I saw is it real?
If the judgment is wrong, wouldn't a rash attack be failed?
"Thump-thump-thump-!"
Lu Yi Bei's heart struggled briefly as the "Mr. Rabbit" downstairs was still walking up the stairs, his footsteps coming intermittently, he might appear at the stairway at any moment.
Perhaps it was the thought that the person downstairs might not be Mr. Rabbit and the adrenaline rush that gave Lu Yi Bei some courage, but he finally couldn't bear the slow, nearly suffocating oppression.
In the darkness, his bloodshot eyes suddenly flashed with vicious, and she turned around and grabbed the statue of Ming King and carried it on his shoulder.
When a man is desperate, he can be reckless! Today, I’m going to kill you, or be killed by you!
Hearing Lu Yi Bei's getting up and exuberant panting from upstairs, Mr. Rabbit's footsteps suddenly became faster downstairs, striding up several steps at once and appearing at the stairway in a flash.
......
The rain started to pour again, and a flash of lightning struck the sky, illuminating the figure of Lu Yi Bei.
His dark brown hair was disheveled, his bloodless face was expressionless, his eyes were so red that they almost dripped blood, and he was carrying a large, oddly shaped "copper hammer" on his shoulder. ......
Looking at such a figure in the darkness, "Mr. Rabbit" obviously froze, and stepped back.
Then ......
He subconsciously took a half step back.
In the sky outside of the window, the lightning flash faded away through the gap of dark clouds, and then faded away.
The darkness once again swallowed the figure of the young man.
Before "Mr. Rabbit" could get used to the darkness in front of him, a wind noise suddenly came to his ears and something came whistling in the darkness. One second before he being hit on the head and lost his consciousness, he saw the face of the Ming King with his eyes wide open and his solemn face……
