"No one is in the middle of the night, a hundred ghosts walk at night, the gods are merciful, bless me Handling......"

In this silence, a veteran dressed in a jute coat gently sang the lyrics written by the Xiangguo doctor for Handling four years ago.

It's been three watches, Li Qun and Zeng Li are still patrolling around the city, I don't know why, Zeng Li always feels that today's weather is extra cold, even if he is physically strong, he can't help but shiver a little, but when he looks at Li Qun, he sees that he is still tall and straight, walking on the road unhurriedly, Zeng Li didn't care, after all, his uncle has practiced his fists and feet for 20 years more than himself, and his physique is logically stronger than his own.

Although it cannot be said that the night is like day, but by the moonlight, it is possible to see the appearance of people within two zhang, so the Wusheng patrol never lights the lantern, and two people in dark black lifeless clothes monitor and guard the city of Hanling as if they are blending into the darkness.

Walked into an alley again, this alley is very narrow, only enough for two people to go side by side, as soon as he entered, Zeng Li suddenly felt that the temperature seemed to drop a lot in an instant, and the air around him seemed to be a little colder, he was wondering, and suddenly saw Li Qun stop, his eyes looking straight ahead.

Zeng Li was very strange about Li Qun's behavior, he also followed Li Qun's gaze to look into the depths of the alley, but there was nothing as far as his eyes could see, but Zeng Li was still vigilant, Li Qun's night vision was very strong, he stopped, so he said what he found in the alley.

This alley is seven or eight zhang deep, after Zeng Li stopped, he suddenly felt that something was coming to his ears, the sound was not like the sound of the wind, nor like the cry of insects, but it made Zeng Li feel that it was like the sound of something walking, the sound was very rhythmic, and the sound when it landed was very muffled, and when he heard it, he knew that it was not an animal like a wild dog or a wild cat, but a person.

Li Qun may have only discovered him, and he didn't know exactly what that person was doing, although the night was banned, there would always be some people who would sneak out at night for some special reasons, like Lao Shen last night, although the law of Huiguo stipulates: "Those who travel during the night ban will have a staff of ninety regardless of the reason." But every time he encounters such people, as long as the reasons are reasonable, Li Qun will not hold them accountable. So when he saw someone appearing here at night, Li Qun first gave a warning.

"Forbidden night" Li Qun's slightly hoarse voice came out, the sound was not loud, but as long as it was in the alley, it would definitely be heard, and most of the ordinary people would hurry home when they heard the warning, but this time, Zeng Li found that the footsteps not only did not stop, but became clearer.

He's walking towards him.

Li Qunyi frowned, and touched his waist with his right hand, and Zeng Li did the same.

The Guardian will have a bronze dagger around his waist.

"Who the hell is it, is it a thief or a traitor!" Li Qun's tone has become serious, and he will come out at night, except for special reasons, he is either a thief or a thief, but as soon as these two people hear someone scolding, they should immediately run away, but the other party doesn't seem to have heard Li Qun's words at all, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, Zeng Li roughly estimated that the person in front of them was less than four feet away from them.

Suddenly, Li Qun's expression changed, a pair of eyes widened, and his right hand quickly drew a short dagger and shouted:

"Zhongping, let's go!"

But it was too late, only to hear the sound of a breaking wind, and a black shadow flew towards the two of them with a whoosh, and rushed straight towards Zeng Li.

Zeng Li reacted quickly enough and jumped back sharply, but the black shadow reached out in mid-air and grabbed Zeng Li's neck. Zeng Li's eyes widened at this time, because he found that the hand was jet black and had nails that were a foot long, and the sharp nails were about to scratch Zeng Li's neck.

Seeing that Zeng Li's throat was about to be cut, Li Qun slammed his shot.

Standing beside Zeng Li, he kicked out a heavy kick, this kick directly on the left rib of the black shadow, this kick was so strong that Zeng Li could hear a clear bone crack, followed by a bang, the black shadow fell the earthen wall of the alley.

It was only then that Zeng Li could see clearly what the black shadow was, it was a lean man, wearing a yellow kudzu robe, but there was no blood on his face, there was some black in the paleness, and his eyes had no look at all, as if he was like a dead man, at this time he was opening his mouth, whining and shouting, the sound seemed to be a human cry, and it was like a wolf howling. Saliva was pouring out of his mouth, and he was struggling to stand up.

This...... Is this still human?

Zeng Li was a little stunned, the blow of this ghost thing just now made him frightened, at this time seeing the appearance of this ghost thing, Zeng Li's heart unconsciously flooded with a trace of fear, although he has experienced this kind of magical thing, but in essence, Zeng Li has always been an ordinary person who grew up on the blue star, seeing this kind of scene, it is difficult not to be afraid.

"Zhongping, let's go!" Li Qun shouted again, his tone was already full of anxiety, but there was not the slightest surprise or fear.

"And what do you do?" Li Qun's words made Zeng Li calm down a little.

"I've got it!" The strange thing is that when he saw this kind of ghost thing, Li Qun was very calm, and his words were very confident, without the slightest feeling of reluctance.

"Good!" Zeng Li is not a hypocritical person, after finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away, first, he really didn't know how to deal with this kind of ghost, and second, Zeng Li saw Li Qun's performance and speculated that he should really have some means, since he couldn't help, he just stayed to make trouble.

As soon as Zeng Li ran, he heard a wail from the ghost thing behind him, obviously not wanting to let him go, but as soon as the ghost thing was about to fly over, Li Qun made a move.

At this time, the ghost thing had already stood up and was about to chase Zeng Li, but he didn't know how Li Qun did it, and suddenly appeared in front of the ghost thing, the ghost thing was stunned, but Li Qun directly kicked it again, and kicked the ghost thing's head fiercely, the ghost thing obviously didn't have much intelligence, and he didn't dodge, he only knew how to grab Li Qun's neck with his hand.

With a click, the crisp sound of bone cracking came instantly, and the ghost thing's neck was kicked off by Li Qun at once, and its head drooped back weakly, only relying on a layer of skin to connect with the body, but what was unexpected was that the movement of the ghost thing's hand did not stop.

The pair of dry hands had nails nearly a foot long, and at this time, the sharp claws were about to touch Li Qun's throat.

But Li Qun was still very calm, his right hand pulled out the short dagger on his waist at once, and then waved it hard, and slashed his nails with his backhand, as soon as the two touched together, there was a sound of metal colliding, and what was even more strange was that the nails were not cut off by the short dagger, but were changed by Li Qun's blow, and the ghost's claws cut in the air.

The ghost thing missed a blow, and the body was hit by Li Qun's blow and staggered a little, Li Qun immediately seized the opportunity, and kicked out again, the distance between the two was less than a foot, Li Qun's foot was directly in the front chest of the ghost thing, this blow was extremely strong, it seemed to have surpassed the first two feet, and it could be seen that Li Qun's feet were about to sink into the chest of the ghost thing, only to hear a bang, the ghost thing was kicked away again, hit the earthen wall of the alley, and the dust was raised, This time the knocked a crack right through the wall.

But Li Qun didn't take it lightly at all, because he was white, and now that ghost thing only suffered some skin injuries.

Sure enough, after a while, the ghost thing actually stood up again, only to hear a sound similar to a broken bone, and the ghost thing's body made several very exaggerated shapes, and then, the depression in the chest slowly flattened. The head, which was originally hanging behind him, slowly raised and looked at Li Qun. At this moment, his expression was very terrifying, his mouth was wide open, revealing sharp teeth, and his lifeless eyes had become blood-red at this time, and the ghost thing howled at Li Qun, and then pounced again.

Zeng Li was running, the appearance of that ghost thing always appeared in his mind, to be honest, he was a bold person, and his loneliness when he was in the blue star even made his character a little cold, but meeting this kind of thing in the dark night really scared Zeng Li, but even so, Zeng Li's head never stopped thinking.

Seeing Li Qun's appearance, he didn't have the slightest fear or surprise, no matter how brave his character was, he was too ordinary, then there was only one possibility, he must have seen that thing.

Then it led to Zeng Lixin's conjecture.

The original owner was weak half a year ago, and he formally joined Wusheng at that time, but he only accompanied Li Qun to patrol the night every once in a while, and he could only be regarded as a supernumerary, and Zeng Li, who had just arrived in Mengshi, had always had some doubts when he took over the position of the original owner Wusheng.

That is, the responsibilities of lifelessness are too vague.

If it is said that the supervision officials are used, then the outer door actually has no meaning of existence, and only the inner door in the palace can take on this responsibility. If it is to supervise the people, not to mention that these people in the outer city have nothing to supervise, even if it is really King Hui to prevent it from happening, but the duty of Wusheng is to patrol the night, can the people only make trouble at night? Leave it alone during the day? Even if it is for the purpose of banning the night, then isn't it duplicative with the duties of the night patrol officers and soldiers? Why did the court cultivate one more force to consume the official sound?

Combined with Li Qun's performance just now, Zeng Li had a bold conjecture.

Maybe one of the duties of the inanimate is to deal with these.

Zeng Li intuitively thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and following this line of thought, it seemed to make sense for Li Qun to let him leave.

Li Qun, as the owner of the outer gate, must be well aware of the danger of having no life to work, so he wants to send himself away, which is a kind of protection for Li Qun himself.

Then, Zeng Li thought of something more.

Since this kind of ghost thing can appear in Meng, then Li Qunyi or all the lifeless guards, is there anything different from ordinary people, Zeng Li doesn't believe in fighting those ghost things, and the lifeless guards rely on their fists and feet.

As he thought more and more, Zeng Li suddenly had a new idea.

I can't go for the time being.

If the reason for his coming to this world was really some kind of mission, as he had suspected, then a strong premonition told him that he had to set foot in the world of the people who had no life to defend them.

Thinking about this, Zeng Li was actually relieved in his heart, compared to the headless flies looking around, there is such a goal to be happy, although it is still just a guess, but at least Zeng Li's actions in Mengshi have a general direction, the next thing to do is to return to the outer gate of Wusheng, call some helpers, and wait for them to solve the ghost thing, ask Li Qun about everything that happened, ask what the ghost thing is, and also ask Li Qun about their true identity.

The night in Handling is relatively cool, although Zeng Li is running wildly in it, but his body still feels a little cold, suddenly, a gust of wind blows, the sound of the wind blowing the branches of the tree instantly came to Zeng Li's ears, but Zeng Li suddenly frowned, because he felt that in addition to the sound of the wind, there seemed to be some other sounds mixed in the wind, the sound was very crisp, like the sound of porcelain breaking, but it was more ethereal than it, what was it, Zeng Li couldn't identify it for a while.

Suddenly, in the night, Zeng Li noticed that something seemed to be standing in front of him, and Zeng Li immediately stopped.

The thing seemed to notice Zeng Li as well, and Zeng Li could feel him looking at him, and then, a voice reached Zeng Li's ears.

The voice was like a man's cry, and it was like a wolf's howl.

Zeng Li immediately turned pale, and he met another ghost thing, Zeng Li reacted instantly, turned around and ran.

Sure enough, the moment Zeng Li rushed out, the thing pounced, and if Zeng Li hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been knocked down at this time.

Zeng Li looked back as he ran, it was a man in gray linen, compared to the ghost thing he had encountered before, his body was larger, and his slightly fat face was the same as the previous thing, bloodless, white and gray, and the pounce just now made his nearly a foot-long nail pierce into the ground, and he was struggling to pull it out at this time.

This gave Zeng Li time to escape, and the road in front was blocked, but Zeng Li also made a judgment in an instant, and ran quickly towards the position where Li Qun was just now.
