Chapter 28: Mo Guang
After swallowing the Orb of Filth, the little black cat calmed down, as if it was digesting the energy contained in the Orb of Filth.
After patrolling for about a quarter of an hour, everything was fine and the streets were quiet.
However, the little black cat lying on Yang Qing's head suddenly stood up, and a cute voice sounded in Yang Qing's mind.
"Boy! Can't you smell such a strong smell of blood? Go forward! Quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qing sniffed hard, trying to sense the bloody smell that the little black cat mentioned.
But the air smelled normal and there was indeed no unusual smell. However, Yang Qing still followed Ji Shui Bao's instructions and started to move forward. After a while, he was beyond his patrol range.
"On the left! Yes, this one! There's a strong smell of blood, there's something wrong inside."
Jishuibao commanded.
The door of this house was locked tightly. At midnight, every household would lock their doors.
However, this is not a problem for Yang Qing. Having experienced the life of various people in the martial arts world, Yang Qing is familiar with this basic skill.
Yang Qing pushed the meteorite dagger into the gap of the door, and with a little force, he easily lifted the bolt.
I pushed the door open gently, and a smell of blood immediately hit my nose.
The pungent smell made Yang Qing frown.
"It really smells so strong of blood!"
Looking around, the cellar in this courtyard should be where people usually hide and sleep at night. At this moment, the door is open, and there is a dead body lying at the entrance of the cellar, with the body covered in blood and flesh.
"My goodness, I guess everyone in this family is dead!"
But before Yang Qing could find out what was going on, he saw a gray shadow rushing out of the cellar and rushing towards Yang Qing.
The big mouth with a bloody smell was like a pair of pliers, as if it was going to kill Yang Qing with one bite.
Evil!
Yang Qing was about to swing his sword to meet the enemy when he suddenly felt a gust of black wind falling from above his head, stopping the gray shadow.
The Jishui leopard pounced and knocked the evil figure away.
Although this Jishui leopard is small at this moment, the force of its collision is not small.
Then he landed on the tip of his toes to gain leverage and bit the evil creature's neck before the other party could stabilize his body.
Then the kitten shook its head and bit the evil spirit, who only uttered a whine before turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.
The lost filthy beads were also picked up by the Jishui leopard.
With a crunch, the little black cat chewed up the filthy bead, and then walked back to Yang Qing with a satisfied look on its face.
"Wow! This is much faster than me."
Yang Qing was amazed.
Because someone died and it was considered an evil spirit discovered afterwards, Yang Qing had to report the matter.
And there was another thing that gave Yang Qing a headache. He had to think about how to explain how he had left his duty range and discovered that this family had been wiped out by the evil spirit.
A red light rose into the sky, and the communication fireworks started.
Soon Xing Hu appeared in the courtyard.
When Xing Hu saw that it was Yang Qing, he initially thought that a powerful evil spirit had come and asked Yang Qing to launch fireworks for help. But after entering the yard, Xing Hu stopped talking.
Following Xing Hu's on-site investigation and Yang Qing's report, Xing Hu recorded the situation here.
All four members of this family died. Their bodies were torn into several pieces, with missing arms and legs and a bloody mess. It was obvious that this was the method used by an evildoer.
With these records on file, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Qing anymore, but he still needs to go to the Night Patrol Division to take some notes.
Tomorrow morning, the bailiffs who are responsible for finishing the job will come.
Before parting, Xing Hu suddenly discovered a Jishui leopard lying on top of Yang Qing's head.
"When did we get a cat?" Xing Hu asked.
"I just picked it up on the road, and someone accidentally took it away from me."
"Ha, then you have good luck with cats. Cats are very rare creatures that actively approach humans. Have you given it a name?"
When Xing Hu asked this, Yang Qing remembered that he seemed to have not given this guy a name yet. How could a gangster like him not have a nickname?
After thinking for a while, Yang Qing saw that this guy's fur was as black as ink and his eyes were glowing dimly at night, so he casually said to Xing Hu.
"Yes, this guy's name is Mo Guang!"
"Good, next time if you can pick up another color, remember to save it for me.
Seeing that you have one, I also want to get one, haha.
It seems like a good feeling to have a cat on my head.”
"Okay, let's see if we meet by chance. If we can, I'll keep it for you."
As he was speaking, Yang Qing felt a chill on his cheek. The Jishui leopard's claws had been placed on his face without him noticing. At the same time, a cute voice sounded in his mind.
"You little brat, why are you talking about cats here? Am I being nice to you?
I repeat, I am a leopard! A leopard! I am the wise and mighty divine beast, Master Jishui Leopard."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the wise and mighty Lord Jishuibao."
Yang Qing responded helplessly in his heart, this little black cat is quite proud.
After chatting with Yang Qing for a few more words, Xing Hu suddenly said to Yang Qing.
“By the way, let me remind you that I just received news that the Night Watch Trial will be advanced this time.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, on the full moon night of next month, a blood moon will appear in the sky over our Hengzhou Prefecture.
By then, all the evil spirits within a hundred miles of Hengzhou Prefecture will be in a state of rage, and there may even be a situation where the evil spirits attack the city."
"The blood moon is coming!"
Yang Qing was not unfamiliar with this word. It seemed that in the memory of his previous life, Hengzhou Prefecture would appear once every few years.
In his impression, once the blood moon appears in the sky, the moon will appear dark red.
And every time that time came, the entire Hengzhou city defense would be particularly tense.
"I'm telling you this to remind you to be more careful recently. I might be sent out hunting outside the city soon."
"Is there any pattern to the blood moon appearing in the sky? And what about the hunting outside the city, what's the connection between the two?" Yang Qing asked after hearing this.
“Of course there is a connection. Since you are also going to participate in the trial, I will explain it to you briefly.
The appearance of this blood moon in the sky is irregular and can only be predicted in advance by observing the weather and the stars.
When the blood moon comes, the blood energy in that area will be very strong, so when looking up at the sky from the ground, even the moon will be blood red, that's why it is called the blood moon.
By then, all the evil spirits in that area will become much stronger and more excited.
Before that, the dead air in that area will become increasingly dense, and the most obvious thing is that the moon will not look as bright as usual. "
"No wonder, I was wondering why the moon has been getting darker at night lately."
"The blood moon in the sky in our Hengzhou Prefecture was only recently detected, and the news was only sent to us today by the Imperial Observatory in the capital.
We at the Night Patrol are also planning a large-scale hunting tour outside the city to prepare for the evil spirits to attack the city."
"There will be more evil spirits attacking the city!"
“Of course, once the blood moon explodes in the sky, the accumulated evil spirits will become excited and are likely to launch an attack on the city.
It's not like the outside of the city. We clear out the evil spirits in the city on a regular basis every day, and it is basically impossible for them to survive.
But it’s different in the wild. We have limited manpower and cannot carry out large-scale eradication, which will result in a large number of evil spirits remaining.
It's okay during the day, they will find abandoned caves or mines to avoid the sunlight, and they will come out again at night.
But the most important thing is that evil spirits can evolve over time. As long as they hunt for blood, they can gradually grow.
So after so many years of accumulation, no one can tell exactly how many evil spirits remain in the wild.
All we can do is set up a hunting team of Night Watchmen outside the city, and kill as many as we can.
Large-scale hunting outside the city is the only effective way to reduce the number of evil spirits as much as possible. If evil spirits really attack the city, their number will be smaller."
"I see."
Through this conversation, Yang Qing got to know the Night Watchman a little better.
