Start Six Maids

When I came out of the hook bar, the sky was already getting dark.

Chuci and the others listened to the song while drinking and eating, but they were not hungry at all.

After looking at the sky, Li Yuchun took out an envelope from his pocket.

A Taoist talisman was pasted on the seal of the envelope. Li Yuchun tore off the talisman and took out a letterhead from the envelope.

There is a line of small characters written on the letter, Ping'an Street to Shizilin Street.

Li Yuchun put the signature into the envelope, then put the envelope in his pocket and put it away.

"Let's go, let's patrol from Ping'an Street to Shizilin Street tonight."

"Understood, team leader!"

Li Baitian and Zhou weekend nodded and answered in unison.

Following behind Li Yuchun, they walked all the way to Ping'an Street.

On the way, Li Baitian explained to Chu Ci in a low voice, "The location of the night patrol of the Department of Weiqing is not fixed every night."

"After Xushi, the team leader can open the envelope containing the location information. This envelope is specially made, and it is pasted with Taoist talismans. It is useless to change people or open the envelope in advance."

Chu Ci thought for a while, and said aloud, "It should be to prevent leaks, right?"

Li Baitian nodded, "It can be regarded as preventing the demons from getting information in advance, taking advantage of loopholes."

"Our task tonight is fairly easy. Ping'an Street and Shizilin Street are the main roads leading to the south of the city, and there are few demons making trouble."

"If you're hungry, we can find a place to have some supper."

As the sky was getting late, the curfew began on the street, and there were only figures of Chu Ci and his party on Ping'an Street.

The lights of the shops on both sides of the street have been extinguished, and only some night entertainment places are still lit.

With the sporadic lights and moonlight, Chuci and the others didn't need to light up the lanterns, their powerful eyes were enough for them to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Li Yuchun put his hand on the waist knife and looked around vigilantly, "Be careful when you watch the night!"

"Chuci, you just joined the job, just follow us."

Chu Ci nodded, silently observing Li Yuchun and his party.

Compared to the slack during the day, Li Yuchun and the others seemed to change their appearance at night, their eyes were shining brightly, and they looked around vigilantly, as if they were about to face an enemy.

Chu Ci found that Li Yuchun's eyes were mostly on the dark corners on both sides of the street, or on the roof or the top of the building.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Ci understood that if there were monsters or villains who wanted to make trouble, they would mostly hide in these places.

Li Yuchun looked back at Chu Ci, and after seeing clearly where Chu Ci's gaze fell, there was a look of approval in his eyes.

"Chuci, don't just watch, but also listen!"

"Everything is quiet at night, we can hear farther and get more information."

Chu Ci nodded and said softly, "Understood."

It seems that the task of patrolling at night is really not easy. Not only must the eyes see the six directions, but also the ears must listen to all directions. There must be no slack in the whole night.

This is also thanks to the supernatural person's strong physical fitness. If it were an ordinary person, even a programmer would die suddenly after a short period of time.

Da da da···

The crisp footsteps echoed on the street, and the sound could be heard far away in the silent night.

Chu Ci frowned slightly, and deliberately lowered his footsteps to reduce the sound of his boots stomping on the ground.

"well done!"

Li Yuchun's voice sounded slightly smiling, "We should not only try our best to discover others, but also avoid being discovered by others."

"At the same time, do a good job of cooperating among the team members, cross-checking, and avoiding blind spots!"

Chu Ci nodded, indicating that he had learned it.

In the dim moonlight, Chuci and the others walked along Chang'an Avenue to Shizilin Street at a leisurely pace.

Shizilin Street is close to the south of the city and is an important traffic road.

If it is daytime, the crowds come and go here, and it is very lively.

But at night, it's much cooler here.

Except for Chu Ci, who is on patrol and other members of the Weiqing Department, only the watchmen who work at night will walk on the street.

bang bang bang

Boom!Boom!

The crisp sound of clappers and the loud sound of gongs can be heard far away in the silent night.

"It's dry, be careful with candles!"

The watchman's deep and hoarse voice faintly entered Chu Ci's ears.

Chu Ci didn't think too much, he focused on checking the surrounding situation, and continued to patrol.

bang bang bang

Boom!Boom!

"It's dry, be careful with candles!"

Chu Ci and the others walked along Shizilin Street, looking around vigilantly.

Li Yuchun, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and listened for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed!

"No, there is a situation!"

Li Yuchun turned to look at Chu Ci, Li Baitian, and Zhou Zhou, and said in a deep voice, "String the bow and crossbow, follow me!"

After speaking, Li Yuchun started to run quickly.

Chu Ci was startled when he heard the words, and followed subconsciously.

Taking off the hand crossbow from his waist, Chu Ci wound it with one hand, and attached a talisman arrow.

After the preparations were completed, Chu Ci asked the nervous Li Baitian in a low voice, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"

"What did the leader find?"

Li Baitian shook his head slightly, and said softly, "I'm not sure."

Turning his head to look at the weekend, Li Baitian asked aloud, "Weekend, what did you hear?"

Weekend was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "The team leader got nervous after hearing the sound of the watchman. I guess it has something to do with the watchman?"

While running fast, Li Yuchun explained aloud, "Now is the time of ugliness, and the watchman will ring the gong three times!"

"But I only heard the gong sound twice just now. The watchmen have been playing for many years, and they can't make mistakes. This is not normal!"

The faces of Chuci and the others were stunned when they heard the words, "So the team leader guessed something happened to the watchman?"

"That's right!" Li Yuchun said in a deep voice, "The watchman is probably in danger!"

Chu Ci couldn't help secretly admiring that Li Yuchun was indeed experienced and thoughtful.

Zheng Shushan was right!

Chapter 40 Bloodthirsty Monster!

On Shizilin Street, Chu Ci and his party galloped quickly, heading in the direction of the beater.

"No, it's too slow!"

Li Yuchun stopped suddenly, looked up at the houses on both sides of the street, "Go to the roof!"

After speaking, Li Yuchun jumped up and walked quickly between the roofs of the house.

Chuci and the others imitated the example, jumped up and stepped on the roof, and rushed in a straight line to the direction where the watchman's voice came from.

whoosh whoosh

Under the hazy moonlight, the galloping figures of Chu Ci formed a line, and it took only a few breaths to arrive at the scene.

On the quiet street, Chu Ci and the others got down.

"Where's the watchman?"

"According to the direction the voice came from, it should be this street!"

Li Baitian inspected the entire long street left and right, but did not find the watchman.

A serious expression appeared on Zhou Zhou's simple and honest face, "I'm afraid it's more ominous than good!"

Li Yuchun looked vigilant, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, "The murderer should still be there, cheer up!"

Chu Ci looked around and saw the street at a glance. The doors and windows of the shops on both sides were all erected with baffles. They didn't look like there were people. If there was a murderer lurking, he could only hide in the dark alley.

Chu Ci moved his steps lightly, and his soft-soled thick boots stepped on the road without making the slightest sound.

A few steps forward, Chu Ci's eyes fell on a deep alley, and his pupils shrank suddenly!

"Leader!"

Chu Ci let out a low voice, raised his finger and pointed to the alley.

Li Yuchun's face tightened, and he stepped hard, and his body suddenly rushed into the alley.

After a while, Li Yuchun's deep voice came from the alley, "Come in, everyone!"

Chu Ci and the others filed into the alley, and not far from the entrance of the alley, they saw Li Yuchun's figure.

Li Yuchun was squatting on the ground, checking the figure on the opposite side.

The man sat on the ground with his back against the wall of the alley, his head bowed and motionless, and he was still holding a mallet and a gong in his hand.

It was the watchman who was still working the watch just now!

Li Baitian approached and asked softly, "Team leader, what's the situation?"

Li Yuchun stood up and shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "The heart has been taken out, there is no hope for it!"

"Watch out!"

"The watchman's blood is still hot, the murderer is probably still nearby!"

Clang!Clang!Clang!

A series of knives sounded, and Chu Ci and the others half-drawn their knives and looked around intently.

Li Baitian asked in a low voice, "Leader, can you tell who the murderer is?"

While looking around, Li Yuchun said in a deep voice, "The watchman's wound is on the front chest, and there are neat cuts on the edge."

"It should be a frontal attack, one hit will kill, the method is clean and neat!"

"Suspected to be the work of a demon!"

Hearing this, Li Baitian raised his hand to wipe his waist, and a bronze compass appeared in his hand.

In the middle of the compass, there is a slender pointer that keeps turning.

"This is the compass for hunting demons, which can detect the breath of demons."

Seeing that Chu Ci was puzzled, Li Baitian explained in a low voice.

Chu Ci nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Leader, should we disperse and search?"

"Getting together like this is a waste of time. What if the monster runs away?"

Li Yuchun hesitated when he heard the words, "But you..."

Chu Ci said in a deep voice, "I've reached the third level of martial arts, enough to protect myself!"

Li Yuchun's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect you to be in the third rank, good!"

"Everyone spread out and search, and immediately sound a warning if you encounter a monster!"

Chu Ci, Li Baitian, and Zhou Zhou replied in unison, "Yes!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Several people each searched in a direction and quickly launched a search.

Knowing that it was a monster who committed the crime, Chu Ci no longer focused on observing the surroundings, but walked quickly through.
