Chapter 839: We Are Not The Same Kind

"You!!!"

Hearing these words, the demon child was practically fuming.

Lu Baoyou's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at his reflection in the shattered mirror, and he spoke calmly, "It seems you were telling the truth. In your current state, you really can't do anything to me..."

"Were you probing me?"

"Heh."

Lu Baoyou casually pulled several tissues from nearby and wiped the blood from his hands. "You've got it wrong about one thing...

I'm not the same kind as you worthless trash."

Whoosh—!

The train entered a tunnel, and the restroom door opened. Lu Baoyou calmly stepped out, his figure passing through the dark, lightless corridor until he returned to a corner of the carriage that emanated a faint glow. He sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

...

Ding ding ding ding—!!

The shrill bell rang through the training camp, startling all the recruits awake from their sleep!

They sat up in a daze, glanced at the still-dark night outside the window, then looked at the clock mounted on the wall—it was exactly 3:00 AM...

"Everyone, assemble at the main drill ground within three minutes."

Lin Qiye's calm voice echoed through the dormitory building via the broadcast system.

"Are you kidding me? It's only three o'clock! The roosters aren't even awake yet!"

"What time did we even go to sleep?"

"Last night at nine when the lights went out, but we played for a while before sleeping, so around ten?"

"That means we only slept for five hours!"

"Quick quick quick! Change and head to the drill ground!"

"Three minutes is way too urgent!"

"..."

The previously silent dormitory building instantly erupted into chaos. The vast majority of recruits immediately sat up, muttering complaints while quickly putting on their clothes. After all, the impression left by [Night Watch] squad yesterday was far too deep—the fear in their hearts told them that something terrible might happen if they were late...

Of course, where there are diligent people, there will inevitably be lazy ones.

A portion of the recruits unhurriedly climbed out of bed, yawning as they got dressed, trailing far behind the main group as they jogged toward the main drill ground.

On the elevated platform of the drill ground, seven figures cloaked in deep crimson stood there, calmly watching the chaos unfolding below. Lin Qiye glanced down at his watch, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Anyone who arrives after three minutes, step out on your own."

The recruits below exchanged glances with each other. Some shrugged and stepped forward of their own accord.

But among the crowd, there was still a small group of recruits who acted as if they heard nothing, trying to blend in and avoid being singled out.

Lin Qiye swept his gaze over them without a word—his finger simply lifted slightly.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—!!

Thick strands of spider silk suddenly descended from the sky, instantly wrapping around those recruits hidden in the crowd. In the blink of an eye, they were all bound and lifted into the air!

Amidst waves of terrified screams, all recruits who had arrived late without stepping forward on their own had been turned into spider silk "zombies," suspended in the webs suspended high above.

This sudden development startled all the nearby recruits.

"I don't have time to teach you what discipline means." From beneath his狰狞 mask of Sun Wukong, Lin Qiye spoke calmly, "As I said yesterday, you aren't recruits about to become Night Watch... you already are Night Watch.

Night Watch members must bear the consequences of their actions. In real warfare, such consequences are often your lives.

And here, I will use another form to substitute for your 'deaths.'"

Lin Qiye gave A Zhu a look.

The recruits suspended in the spider webs were pulled by that massive spider, hurtling rapidly toward a certain small warehouse at the edge of the grounds.

The silk snapped mid-air, and with the force of inertia, those recruits flew straight toward the warehouse. Meanwhile, a dozen or so grotesque "mystical creatures" excitedly grabbed the bound recruits from the ground. With triumphant, gleeful howls, they surged into the warehouse.

Their expressions were exactly like bandits who'd just caught a beautiful woman—desperately eager to rush into the warehouse for the wedding night.

With their sinister laughter, the warehouse door slammed shut.紧接着,仓库内新兵们的惨叫声再度拔高了一个层次,像是在经历什么极端恐怖的事情,嚎的撕心裂肺!

"No! Don't! Stay away from me!"

"Let me go! Please! Don't!"

"No! That place is absolutely not allowed!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Just kill me!"

"..."

The recruits standing on the main drill ground heard these agonizing screams and their faces went pale!

Just hearing these sounds, countless blood-soaked, tragic scenes instantly flooded the recruits' minds. Especially those who had been late—unable to control the trembling in their bodies.

"Everyone, go get your weighted gear from the side. Latecomers carry double." Amidst the distant wails, Lin Qiye spoke indifferently, "One minute."

Upon hearing the words "one minute," everyone scrambled toward the pile of weighted gear, grabbed their respective loads, then sprinted back, terrified of being half a second too slow and getting dragged into that warehouse by the "mystical creatures"...

Though they had no idea what was happening inside that warehouse, just hearing those bloodcurdling screams was enough to know it absolutely wasn't anything pleasant!

Within one minute, all the recruits had their weighted gear secured on their backs and stood neatly in the center of the drill ground.

Lin Qiye nodded slightly, then waved his hand again. One after another, "mystical creatures" dressed in deep teal orderly uniforms emerged from every direction, surrounding the recruits from behind.

"Your training today is very simple... When you were children, didn't you all play tag?" Lin Qiye pointed to the nearly one hundred orderlies behind them. "They're the cats. You're the mice. Any recruit caught by them before three o'clock this afternoon will end up like that group just now—locked in that warehouse.

The earlier you're caught, the longer you'll be tormented. If none of you are caught before three o'clock this afternoon, congratulations—you won't have to enter the small dark room.

During this process, you may not use Forbidden Ruins, and you may not attack them actively. All you can do is flee.

Hiking, high-altitude rope descents, obstacle courses... You may use anything available within this training camp as tools to help you escape.

Is that clear?"

The recruits below exchanged glances, each seeing the tension and panic in their companions' eyes.

In the small warehouse next door, the screams from the first batch of recruits who had been dragged in grew increasingly loud, sending shivers down everyone's spines...

This wasn't training at all—it was completely life or death!

"Did you hear me?!" Lin Qiye called out again.

"Understood!"

"Good." Lin Qiye nodded. "Then, training begins..."
