"Hey, I didn't expect this! This guy is actually an agent of the Night Watch, and yet he's done so many dirty deeds behind the scenes..."

Just as Vivian was feeling shocked by the wanted notice for Yu Yinchuan appearing on the TV, the woman beside her, whose body was deformed like a crescent moon, suddenly spoke up with a teasing tone.

Vivian looked at the woman beside her, then at the old television. She raised a finger, pointing at the man on the screen who wore a Husky-like, evil and arrogant smile, and asked in surprise, "Ni Miao, do you recognize this guy?"

"Of course I do!" The woman called Ni Miao glanced at the TV screen. "I've heard from Annie that this guy is a regular at the Angel Rose, and he's quite generous with his money... How should I put it? Have you ever seen someone stuff car keys and luxury watches into a stripper's clothes?"

As Ni Miao said this, she gestured toward the gap between her own deformed peaks.

"That's right, Mr. Yu Yinchuan has done such things. Every time he spends money at the Angel Rose, he gives people the feeling that it isn't his own money, so he doesn't feel the pinch at all."

Hearing this, the corners of Vivian's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The Annie that Ni Miao spoke of was also a resident of this tent area. Before undergoing prosthetic modification, she had been a member of the choir at the Garden Street Holy Light Church.

Her original intention for the prosthetic modification was simply to get rid of her naturally ugly face so that she could stand in the front row during choir practice and attract the attention of the boy she liked.

As it turned out, she succeeded—succeeded far beyond her expectations.

She not only successfully attracted the attention of the boy she liked, but also attracted the attention of many more men...

She completely treated that modification as a cheap yet highly effective plastic surgery, never thinking that her personality would change drastically because of it, "falling" into becoming a stripper at the Angel Rose, struggling daily between intense guilt and the pleasure brought by the gaze of men filled with desire.

The pain brought by the prosthetic modification was not limited to the body, but also the mind; Annie lived in extreme pain every day...

However, compared to those unlucky ones whose prosthetics were modified from the urban legend organizations of Aberrant Species or Evil Spirit Species, she, whose prosthetics were modified from the facial skin of a Witch Seed urban legend, was already very lucky...

At least after the prosthetics went out of control and her body showed rejection, she didn't grow any twisted organs, and she even gained a beautiful face and a curvaceous body.

"What else did Annie say?" Vivian asked.

"Let me think..." Ni Miao poked her chin with her slender metal fingers, pondering for a few seconds. "Oh right, didn't we just say Yu Yinchuan is a Night Watch agent? Annie also said that the guy's usual job is to provide relief to the exiled Z-country urban legends and Psychics in the Free City and its surroundings."

"He sounds like a pretty decent person. I don't know how he ended up doing so many terrible things. Maybe it's because he's stayed in the Free City for too long and has been influenced by the local customs to some extent?"

"Of course, it's also possible that he was framed? After all, the local gangs and those self-righteous bastards from the Black Night Alliance have never liked the Night Watch, and they wish they could drive them all out of the M country."

Framed? Not a chance! After listening to Ni Miao's words, Vivian quickly reached a conclusion.

A guy who has a black sun totem and a mark representing Yinghuo, is also a Night Watch agent, appeared on a Black Hand Mafia Alchemy ship in the middle of the night, and might even have stolen the thing that stores her authority—could he be a good person?

Doesn't it look like he's a double, or even a triple agent?! Vivian thought.

She even felt that the illegal criminal activities described in the wanted notice for Yu Yinchuan were just the tip of the iceberg, and there was a huge "iceberg" hidden beneath the "sea surface."

Thinking of this, Vivian's mood suddenly became complicated.

She hoped that Yu Yinchuan would stay obediently in her apartment and not run around with that authority that might be in his hands, but she was also worried that if Yu Yinchuan really stayed obediently in the apartment, it would bring a devastating disaster to her little home...

The wanted notice that appeared on the Free City channel just now came with a bounty, and the amount was not low.

For the fierce "wild dogs" wandering in the Free City, this was a paid proof that allowed them to commit crimes "legally."

For the sake of that reward, or simply to vent their violence, there would always be "wild dogs" who chose to take the risk.

The sky was about to darken, and the "wild dogs" would take advantage of the night to start their actions, and Vivian's shabby but warm little apartment would also become his burial object...

Thinking of this, Vivian quickly closed her eyes and focused her mind.

The moment she closed her eyes, as if hallucinating, pale threads rose from the ground in the darkness, quickly outlining the panorama of the Free City.

Between the reinforced concrete structures that looked like a jungle, a scarlet aura snaked into her vision, pointing directly at the red dot of light that was like a disaster star, about ten kilometers away.

Found him! After confirming Yu Yinchuan's location through the sensing of her own authority aura, Vivian let out a long sigh of relief.

The strange cat on her shoulder noticed a slight abnormality in her expression after she briefly closed and opened her eyes, tilted its head, and asked, "Did that guy run away?"

"Mm." Vivian nodded. "He ran, but he didn't run far."

Judging from the location of the authority aura, Yu Yinchuan had already left the apartment, but he hadn't gone far. This was the best result she could think of.

This way, her little apartment wouldn't have to be buried with Yu Yinchuan, and she could also catch him before those wild dogs found him.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Vivian looked at the woman beside her and said, "Ni Miao, I'll leave things here to you for now. Something came up at home, I have to go back."

"Anyway, I've already given you the medicine money. Please help treat everyone, and say hello to them for me. Tell them I'll come to see them next time."

As she spoke, she stood up, walked straight to the refrigerator in Ni Miao's tent, skillfully found two cans of beer, and then called out softly, "Horace, let's go!" She trotted out of the tent.

Ni Miao, "..."

————

Lu Yibei had never been a law-abiding person. After that "kind-hearted" girl left, she stayed in the old apartment for less than half an hour before her mind couldn't help but become restless.

"I think we should go out for a walk... Even if we don't leave for the time being, we should confirm the terrain in this area, as well as the number of Psychics and urban legends, and make some simple arrangements in advance. What do you think, Little Flower?"

Nanling Yaohua floated beside Lu Yibei, frowning slightly, and wrote text on her small notebook.

【Going out for a walk is certainly fine, but I think we should leave here as soon as possible.】

She always felt that the girl named Vivian had ill intentions.

"That won't do. We are new here, and we don't have a guide. Relying solely on the information provided by the senior Nameless Book, who knows how many detours we'll have to take! Now that a ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) ready-made guide is right in front of us, how can we let her run away?" Lu Yibei said.

Yes, she was prepared to let Vivian be her guide for her first arrival in the Free City, regardless of whether she was willing or not.

"However, speaking of the information provided by senior Nameless Book..." Lu Yibei frowned slightly and looked out the window. "I observed from the window just now; this should be Street 76 near South Avenue. One of the deities long-term funded by 【Jin Chan Lang】, as mentioned in the data, lives nearby."

"Later, when we go out to scout... er, observe the terrain, we can visit that deity along the way."

Lu Yibei had always been dedicated to her work. Since she had replaced the identity of 【Jin Chan Lang】, she had to help 【Jin Chan Lang】 finish the unfinished work. She had always kept this matter in mind.

After all, this was something entrusted by two big shots... If she didn't handle it well, she might get beaten up!

"If we're lucky, maybe we can even get some care from Him!"

Although she already had the intention of catching Vivian to be her guide, she did not pin all her hopes of familiarizing herself with the Free City on Vivian.

Having only one guide had always been unreliable; one careless move and she would lead you to a tourist souvenir shop to spend a hundred thousand or eighty thousand.

【I think that's fine.】 Nanling Yaohua raised the small notebook in her hand.

"Then it's happily decided!" Lu Yibei said, looking at Vivian's pink small bed. "However, before we set off, we have to make some preparations to prevent that kind-hearted young lady from coming back early, not seeing us, and getting anxious."

As the words fell, she raised her hand and brushed over her chest. Immediately, a wisp of pale golden radiance burst out from where her fingertips touched her chest. As the pale golden radiance gradually spread, it outlined the phantom of an upside-down banyan tree, and the passage to the God Kingdom Prototype opened...

A figure suddenly flew out and hit the apartment floor with a "thud."

That figure, who had a face exactly the same as Lu Yibei's at this moment, fell hard, rubbed his butt, looked left and right, and the moment he saw Lu Yibei, his pupils shrank violently.

"You... what do you want to do again? Didn't we agree before? You said you wouldn't torture me again. Do you want to go back on your word? No, you can't violate the terms of the transaction!"

Looking at the figure that had brought him nightmarish experiences, the urban legend Paper Cicada Immortal made a terrified sound.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lu Yibei stepped forward, patted Paper Cicada Immortal's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone says I, Lu Yibei, am an honest and reliable young lady. How could I tear up the transaction? I just want you to do me a small favor."

"Wha... what favor?" Paper Cicada Immortal stammered. "I won't do anything that degrades my personality!"

Since when did Paper Cicada Immortal have something like a personality? Lu Yibei complained in her heart, raised her hand, and pointed forward. "It's very simple. You just go lie there and stay until I come back."

Paper Cicada Immortal looked in the direction Lu Yibei pointed, saw the pink single bed, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is it really that simple?

He clearly remembered that the last time Lu Yibei told him it was "a simple play to act out," he was almost beaten to death on the spot by that old man who suddenly jumped out...

However, how could he resist Lu Yibei?

He couldn't resist!

"Alright, then come back early." Paper Cicada Immortal said bitterly.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely be back before dark." Lu Yibei said.

Thus, at 3:46 PM, the Night Watch agent with the code name 【Jin Chan Lang】 started his first investigation after arriving in the Free City...
