Chapter 30: Dead of Night

Chapter 30: Dead of Night

Under the moonless night, the port was silent.

In the distance, Jiangli gazed in the direction of a dimly lit warehouse, quietly listening to the data reports of the operations team around her.

Degree of Erosion is at 3.7, abnormally high

Level D psychic energy fluctuations, but they peak at Level B

Number of entities at an estimated 127

Disaster response at 0.03%, normal

Hiding yourself in a herd of Level D urban legends, are you trying to run away? Jiangli narrowed her eyes as she thought.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. Over a hundred entities mean that over a hundred souls have been captured by that damned rabbita hundred souls that are unable to rest in peace.

Notify everyone, she announced. Do not let any of them get away. We are to investigate all body theft cases when we get back.

Understood, the team responded as they turned around and disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile

Hoot! Hoot! a barn owl hooted. The barn owls role was to convey information to the operations team, notifying them of nearby energy fluctuations.

The soft sounds of a guns safety being pulled resonated one after another within the forest, and all of the members of the operation team were on guard.

Although it is difficult for weapons to cause damage to high-levelled threats, low-levelled threats that are tangible are still vulnerable to bullets.

As for higher-levelled threats, there was a saying in the Night Division: only urban legends are able to take out urban legends.

Fog crept through the bay of Huacheng.

The heavy, rusty iron door of the warehouse was pushed open, and stale dust poured out of the dark space behind the door like a wave.

Like a flood, countless entities in black tuxedos and a rabbit head stormed out from behind the door. Their bodies crashed into one another like lifeless dolls as they scattered all over the ground.

Crack! Crack!

Their stiff limbs twisted, and they struggled to get up from their positions on the ground. It was as if they were trying to pass as humans, but they didnt know what it was like to be humans.

They suddenly stood still, like men in the army being given an order, before running towards the surrounding forests.

Soon.

Under the obscuring fog, the sound of continuous gunshots rang through the air. The gunfire disappeared in the dense fog, and limbs covered in putrid blood splattered through the air.

For just a moment, the area within the forests of the port was like a hunting ground.

Jiangli stood on the hillside, silent. An Qing was standing on a nearby hillside, observing another area across the river.

Mice shuttled through the piles of garbage as they sniffed an unconscious girl in a bunny suit before scurrying away.

Suddenly, a scarlet light glowed on her tattoo. Once the light subsided, the tattoo disappeared as if it had melted into her body, and she woke up the next moment.

Hah-! Hah! She fell forward as she panted violently. She coughed up two lumps of rabbit fur, and her eyes were like glass beads, showing a dull scarlet colour.

Damn it, I didnt expect consuming that Level C Urban Legend would bring me here, she sneered as she sat up from the garbage pile. She took out an old-fashioned flip phone from between her breasts and rummaged through the contacts.

Its me. Im out of trouble.

Well, Ill see you later at the agreed place.

Once the conversation ended, she exerted all her strength and crushed the phone into pieces.

Lu Yibei found himself in a dreamscape once again; he was riding a beautiful white horse that donned silver armour, and it galloped under the pristine, moonlit night.

His fingers ran through its gorgeous mane and caressed its delicate and smooth skin, and the horse purred in response.

Lu Yibei shut his eyes and enjoyed the moment with his horse. The horses body was strangely firm, and its coat of fur seemed strangely thin.

His immersion in the dream was broken, and he opened his eyes, only to find himself back in reality and caressing a mans shirtless chest.

His gaze met the mans gaze, and the pregnant silence between them was deafening.

From the corner of his eyes, he could see the city buildings in the distance, and he was taken aback, Wait a minute, shouldnt I be in the hospital resting? Where am I?

F*ck! Who are you? he yelled.

You dont need to know who I am, the man chuckled, and his guttural voice was like the chirping of cicadas.

Y-youre the bad guy, arent you? Yibei asked under the offended gaze of the man. You speak like one, so you have to be one. Let me guess, your next sentence is, Yeah, Im the bad guy, so what?

Sh*t, now youll say, Ill crush your tiny neck, and nobody will come to save you, Right? You arent going to kill me, are you?

Hehe! Not now, but soon.

Oh, in that case

The man frowned, unsure of Yibeis intentions. He put himself on guard in case Yibei wanted to attack him.

Yibei smirked at the man before facing the city behind him.

Help me! I got kidnapped! Jiangli! An Qing! Ah, Hua! Anyone! A beautiful girl like me is about to be robbed of her innocence! Help me!

Arent you ashamed of yourself? the man couldnt help but think. He let Yibei scream into the distance, though, since he had already enclosed this space with psychic energy.

Come on! Anyone out there?
