Chapter 798: Order of Shangjing
The dim yellow sunlight gradually faded, and the lights of the bustling city flickered on one after another. Night descended, and the city's lights spread across the earth like stars, emanating a dreamlike aura.
At the top of a tall building in Shangjing City, a man in a black trench coat stood there, countless bats swirling around him before they collectively soared into the dark night sky.
The darkness in his eyes receded, and he turned to look at the quiet man in a white lab coat standing beside him. "I'll search the east side, you search the west."
"Sure."
An Qingyu pushed up his glasses. At the base of the building, countless rats flooded into the dark streets like a sea of shadows, vanishing into the city in an instant.
With Lin Qiye and An Qingyu's dragnet, searching the entire Shangjing City would only take an hour or two.
"I'll take a detour to the East District. Maybe my spiritual power can sense that girl's presence early." Lin Qiye glanced at An Qingyu. "Do you want to come together?"
"Forget it. I can't keep up with your speed." An Qingyu smiled helplessly. He touched the black coffin on his back. "正好趁着这段时间，我要给Jiang Er的磁场提高一下稳定性，否则再遇上那种大规模的爆炸，她很容易被波及受伤的。" "I'll use this time to improve the magnetic field stability for Jiang Er. Otherwise, if we encounter another large-scale explosion, she could easily get hurt."
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. "说起来，从日本回来之后，你跟Jiang Er的关系好像就很不错？" "Come to think of it, ever since you came back from Japan, your relationship with Jiang Er seems pretty good?"
"我们俩的关系不是也不错？" "Aren't our relationships pretty good too?"
"不一样，感觉不一样，我总感觉……你们对彼此而言是特别的。" "Not the same, it feels different. I always feel... you're special to each other."
"有吗？" "Really?"
"有。" "Yes."
"像Jialan和你一样？" "Like Jialan and you?"
"嗯？这跟我和Jialan有啥关系？" "Huh? What does that have to do with Jialan and me?"
"……" An Qingyu blinked his eyes. "或许吧？" "Maybe?"
Lin Qiye walked to An Qingyu's side and patted his shoulder. "嗯……我去搜那个女孩的下落了，你一会要是找到了她，记得联系我们。" "Alright... I'm going to search for that girl. If you find her, remember to contact us."
"没问题。" "No problem."
Lin Qiye turned back, taking one last look at the one person and one coffin standing in the light before his figure dissolved into a wisp of night and vanished into the air.
After Lin Qiye left, a white figure quietly drifted out from the black coffin, the blush on her cheeks not yet faded. She glanced at An Qingyu shyly, and her voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece he was wearing:
"你们刚刚……在说什么啊？" "What were you just... talking about?"
"我们在说什么，你不是也听得见吗？" An Qingyu smiled. "Couldn't you hear everything we were saying?"
Jiang Er froze, her blush deepening. She turned her head to the side. "你，你什么时候给我修改磁场？" "You, when are you going to modify the magnetic field?"
"就现在。" An Qingyu reached out and touched the black coffin behind him. "等我找个安静没人的地方……" "Right now. Let me find a quiet, secluded place..."
"……嗯。" "...Alright."
……
Shangjing City, West District.
On a small path in a certain park, two figures were climbing through the shadowed woods.
"Night Watch……"
After hearing Li Zhenzhen's description, Fang Mo pondered. "也就是说，只要成为Night Watch，就有机会见到Lin Qiye吗？" "So if you become a Night Watch member, you have a chance to meet Lin Qiye?"
"确实是这样，但是……" Li Zhenzhen started to speak, but her pupils slightly contracted. It was as if she suddenly realized something, and she sharply turned to look at Fang Mo beside her.
"你对我做了什么？我怎么会把这些事情告诉你？！" "What did you do to me? Why would I have told you all this?!"
"Don't be nervous. I just wanted to know more about him. I mean no harm to you." Fang Mo smiled faintly. "你刚刚说，Night Watch的新兵集训营马上就要开始了？" "You just mentioned that the Night Watch's new recruit training camp is about to start soon?"
"……你想干嘛？" "...What are you planning?"
"不要用这种眼神看我，说不定，未来我们还能变成同伴。" Fang Mo said calmly. "Don't look at me like that. Perhaps in the future, we could become companions."
"你想进Night Watch？" "You want to join the Night Watch?"
Fang Mo quietly stepped on the stone stairs, offering no response.
"找到了Lin Qiye之后，你想对他做什么？" Fang Mo continued in silence.
"你从我这套走了这么多信息，轮到我问你的时候，你就当哑巴了？" Li Zhenzhen said angrily. "You extracted so much information from me, but when it's my turn to ask you questions, you go mute? What's wrong with you?!"
"嘘！" Fang Mo suddenly stopped walking and made a shushing gesture toward Li Zhenzhen beside him.
Li Zhenzhen froze. After hesitating for a moment, she closed her mouth anyway.
Fang Mo furrowed his brow. He turned and scanned his surroundings, his ears twitching like a cat's, seemingly listening for something. His eyes were full of vigilance.
"不对劲。" Fang Mo lowered his voice. "Something's wrong."
"哪里不对……" Li Zhenzhen was halfway through her sentence when she seemed to sense something and looked back behind her.
At some point, the stone stairs they had come from had been covered by a thin veil of mist. The hazy fog obscured the woods behind them, making it impossible to see the scenes within the park.
"有'神秘'？" Li Zhenzhen's eyes narrowed. She reached out and grasped at the void, and a golden longbow landed in her hand. "雾的浓度不高，Forbidden Ruins覆盖范围大概是小半个山峰，这只'神秘'的境界应该不超过'川'境。" "The fog isn't too thick, and the Forbidden Ruins coverage is probably about half a mountain. This 'mystery's' realm shouldn't exceed the 'River' realm."
Fang Mo looked at her with surprise. "你怎么知道？" "How do you know?"
"如果你也天天跟着一群Great Xia最顶尖的Night Watch生活，这些都是最基本的常识。" Li Zhenzhen drew her bow, her heart-tipped arrow slowly scanning the surroundings as if searching for something. "If you lived every day with the top Night Watch of Great Xia, all of this would be basic common sense."
Fang Mo produced a short blade from who-knows-where, holding it in reverse grip. He leaned his back against Li Zhenzhen and watched the surroundings warily.
"Shangjing City的治安这么差的吗？公园里都能出现这种东西？" "Is Shangjing City's public security this bad? These things can appear in parks?"
"不是Shangjing City的治安差，恰恰相反，是这里的治安力量太强了。" Li Zhenzhen explained. "It's not that Shangjing City's public security is poor. Quite the opposite—it's because the security forces here are too strong." "With Team 006 stationed here, all 'mysteries' appearing in Shangjing City that are below the 'Klein' realm don't dare freely release their aura.
They are like shadows lurking in this city. Once they act and attract Team 006's attention, they definitely won't survive half a day.
So generally, these 'mysteries' don't dare hurt people. At most, they steal and eat some stray pets. Once casualties occur, Team 006 will inevitably intervene. However, they occasionally release some aura to scare humans passing through their territory. Over time, some urban legends have emerged."
Fang Mo asked skeptically, "既然驻守这里的小队这么强，为什么不索性将它们全部杀掉？这么多'神秘'蛰伏在这座城市中，难道不是十分危险吗？" "Since the team stationed here is so powerful, why not simply kill them all? Having so many 'mysteries' lurking in this city—isn't that extremely dangerous?"
"杀不完的。" Li Zhenzhen shook her head. "Shangjing City太大，居住的人口太多，'神秘'的出现速度远比国内其他各大城市都要快，如果真的追求杀光Shangjing City所有的'神秘'，那就算006小队24小时不睡觉，也未必能做到……" "They can't be wiped out." Li Zhenzhen shook her head. "Shangjing City is too large, with too many residents. 'Mysteries' appear here much faster than in any other major city in the country. If we truly pursued wiping out all 'mysteries' in Shangjing City, even if Team 006 didn't sleep for 24 hours, they might not be able to accomplish it..."
"而凭借着006小队的威慑，打造出这样一种生存秩序，就能够用最小的代价，做到另类的'和平'。" "But by leveraging Team 006's deterrent power to create this kind of survival order, they can achieve an alternative 'peace' at minimal cost."
