Realm of the Night God

Chapter 576: Night Cat Child

As night fell, the city lit up with lights, but the areas they could illuminate were quite limited. They could only bring light to a portion of the area and could not dispel the entire darkness.

Within Yunchuan City, ordinary people were living their lives as usual. They went to work, entertained themselves, and slept, and everything seemed no different from before.

However, these ordinary people had no idea about the dangers lurking in the darkness. They were unaware that in the corners without people, there were now pairs of invisible eyes watching them, like wild beasts searching for their prey.

The calm and peaceful Yunchuan City during the day had now become unsettled with the arrival of the night. The first appearance of Yin Qi was like throwing a stone into a calm pond, rippling the surface. The calm was broken, and one wave of Yin Qi after another appeared, varying in strength.

At this time, Yang Haoran was in the eastern part of Yunchuan City, sensing the successive appearances of Yin Qi within the city. A smile appeared on his face.

According to Boss Huo's deployment plan, he and Shi Kai were responsible for the ghosts within the city, while Boss Huo would deal with the hidden spirit masters. They each had their own assigned areas.

To improve efficiency, Yang Haoran and Shi Kai were not together. Yang Haoran was responsible for the eastern and southern parts of the city, while Shi Kai was responsible for the western and northern parts.

According to Boss Huo's idea, he had originally planned to let Yang Haoran and Shi Kai each take a few Night Watch members with them. Although their strength was limited and they couldn't be of much help, they could still lend a hand with small tasks and errands.

However, Yang Haoran politely refused Boss Huo, as he did not want to have Night Watch members accompanying him.

Shi Kai, on the other hand, didn't mind. Having a few Night Watch members with him, he could easily delegate some minor tasks to them, so he did not refuse.Yang Haoran's refusal had two reasons. Firstly, he felt that having Night Watch members would be a hindrance. If they encountered any real danger, he would not be able to take care of them.

Secondly, he had some secrets he did not want the Night Watch to see, such as his true strength.

More importantly, his purpose in coming to Yunchuan City was to reap some benefits. Having Yunchuan City's Night Watch members with him would be inconvenient, and he couldn't possibly compete with them for the ghosts.

Considering these factors, Yang Haoran refused Boss Huo's offer.

Boss Huo was a shrewd person, and he could guess the general reasons behind Yang Haoran's refusal. He did not insist and allowed Yang Haoran to act alone.

Yang Haoran was not his subordinate but a fellow Burial Master. Although Boss Huo was in charge of their current operation, he could not use forceful measures against Yang Haoran.

Moreover, this matter did not seem like a big deal to him. Given their shortage of manpower, he could reassign the Night Watch members originally intended for Yang Haoran to other areas.

Sensing the successive appearances of Yin Qi within the city, Yang Haoran smiled. He did not go to the nearest Yin Qi but headed towards the strongest Yin Qi within his assigned area.

The stronger the Yin Qi, the more powerful the ghost. Powerful ghosts would bring greater destructive power and influence than weaker ones. That's why Yang Haoran decided to tackle the stronger ghosts first, to prevent the situation from escalating.

Besides this reason, there was another more important one. The more powerful the ghost, the more valuable it was. If he didn't capture such ghosts as soon as possible, they might be snatched away by other exorcists or even destroyed, which would be a shame.

Not only evil ghosts, but also perverts, alcoholics, and gamblers enjoy being active at night. Erluzi is an all-around talented person.

When Erluzi is sober, he is no different from a normal person, appearing refined and cultured. But beneath this refined exterior, there is a fierce beast hidden.

Once night falls, he tears off his disguise and completely unleashes the beast deep within him. He drinks alcohol, eats meat, smokes, plays cards, goes clubbing, and engages in all kinds of entertainment activities, but he's not good at any of them. Instead, he gives people a sense of being both silly and slow-witted. Over time, he has earned the nickname "Erluzi (Fool)".

It's still early tonight, and those who truly love nightlife are just starting to get into the swing of things. But Erluzi is already completely drunk.

He loves to drink, but unfortunately, he can't hold his liquor. After just a few drinks, he's already in a drunken stupor. But he doesn't want to admit defeat, so he stubbornly keeps drinking even when he's already wasted.

An old alcoholic told him that as long as you keep drinking after getting drunk, vomiting and then drinking again, as long as you can still open your mouth, you should keep chugging it down. Don't be afraid, don't be weak, and over time, your alcohol tolerance will naturally increase.

Erluzi firmly believes in this advice, and in order to improve his alcohol tolerance, he has completely disregarded his own health, using this self-destructive method to try to increase his drinking capacity.

The friends he was dining with have already left, or rather, they've just moved to another place to continue drinking, but they didn't take Erluzi with them.

Because the others know he's already drunk, they don't want to bring him along. Of course, it's not because they're concerned about his health, but because the drunken Erluzi is prone to causing trouble and being disruptive. His friends don't want the hassle or to have to deal with his obnoxious behavior, so they've parted ways with him.

Erluzi just got paid, so he has some money on hand. The dinner gathering tonight was organized by him, and he footed the bill. But ironically, after the meal, he's the only one left, while his so-called friends have moved on to another place to continue partying.

Erluzi rested his head on the table for a bit, but the more he rested, the dizzier he felt. Realizing he still needs to improve his alcohol tolerance and continue his wild antics, he can't just fall asleep. So he forces himself to stand up, pays the bill, and heads out to find another place to drink.

Erluzi's monthly salary isn't high, and this one dinner has consumed a third of it. But he doesn't care at all. In his words, this is the only day in the month when he's truly happy, so spending some money is justified, not for anything else, but just to buy his happiness.

However, he's never really considered whether this so-called happiness is truly happiness.

His monthly salary, a third of it spent on one dinner, and Erluzi doesn't feel the least bit regretful. Instead, he feels he still has the capacity to spend more.

With his heavy body, Erluzi stumbles and staggers his way to a bar. In his mind, bars are full of beautiful women, and as a perpetually single man, he wants to try his luck there. This is something he's done many times before, even though he's never succeeded. But he's never given up.

Tonight, he's not planning to give up either. He has a feeling that he'll definitely get something out of the bar tonight. The moment he steps through the bar's entrance, this feeling becomes even stronger.

Upon entering the bar, a server immediately approaches him. But seeing that it's Erluzi, the server's smile freezes, and they quickly drop the smile, ignoring Erluzi as if they haven't seen him.

Erluzi doesn't even notice the server's attitude towards him. All his attention is focused on the interior of the bar, with no time to worry about the server.

Just like usual, Erluzi wanders around the bar with a drunken haze, his gaze constantly scanning the female patrons, eyeing them like he's selecting goods in a store. He doesn't care whether they have male companions or not, his lecherous gaze is blatant, and he has a silly grin on his face, looking completely abnormal.

At this early hour, the bar is not too crowded, and there are fewer female patrons. Erluzi has surveyed all the women in the bar, and finally, with a foolish smile, he approaches a woman he deems the most beautiful.

But just a couple of minutes after sitting down, he gets chased away by the woman, as she has a male companion. Erluzi's behavior was too blatant, and he almost got into a physical altercation with the woman's companion. If the server hadn't intervened in time, he would have already started fighting with the woman's partner.

The server obviously recognizes Erluzi and is quite exasperated with him. To prevent Erluzi from causing any trouble in the bar, the server can only put on a fake smile and try to persuade Erluzi to leave.

Erluzi hasn't achieved his goal, so he doesn't want to leave just yet. Suddenly, his eyes light up, and he points with a drunken grin towards a booth in the corner of the bar.

"I want to go there, don't stop me!"
