Chapter 24 Taboos of Walking at Night

Apart from the captain and Ye Rui, everyone else went to patrol the scene.

According to the group assignments, Vice Captain Zongfang and Lina each drove a patrol car, Lin Yeming and Xincheng patrolled with flashlights, and Daigo and Horii did the same, but in a different direction.

They all carried monster trackers with them.

Seeing that everyone understood the mission, Zong Fang said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's begin."

The group immediately sprang into action. Two patrol cars slowly drove into the night, while Lin Yeming and the others walked along the dimly lit path, their flashlight beams flickering in the darkness.

Since separating from the others, Shin-seong has become very cautious.

Night had fallen, and the stars in the sky appeared dim due to human development. The roads were dark, with only the streetlights casting a faint glow.

Since separating from the others, Shin-seong has become very cautious.

He gripped the flashlight even tighter, his palms sweating, making the flashlight's surface damp.

When Lin Yeming looked in other directions, he swallowed hard and pretended to be calm.

"No abnormalities detected..."

The helmet's built-in communication system continued to transmit messages indicating no abnormalities, and Shinjo reported the two's situation to the higher-ups.

Lin Yeming found Xincheng's defiant attitude somewhat amusing, recalling a similar experience he himself had gone through.

He walked beside Xincheng and said in a low voice, "Xincheng, do you know... the taboos of walking alone at night?"

"Oh, I know that. Watch your step, don't slip."

Xincheng responded quickly, as if afraid of walking alone.

But then he heard Lin Yeming's voice coming from afar.

"It's not that taboo."

"My elders told me that when you're walking at night, if someone calls out to you, never turn around."

Shin-chan swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm as he asked, "Why...why?"

"Because each person has a yang fire on their shoulder, representing their yang energy."

“Turning back once will put out a fire.”

"Once the fire is out, unclean things can easily get close to you."

Lin Yeming's faint voice came from afar, startling Xincheng, who felt his heart racing.

To make matters worse, the pile of garbage he had just passed suddenly started moving...

Xincheng's heart jumped. He turned around, frozen, only to see Lin Yeming teasing a kitten.

"You little brat, you dare to scare me!"

Xincheng was quite frightened and grabbed Lin Yeming by the collar. If it weren't for the helmet, he would have punched Lin Yeming a couple of times.

Lin Yeming raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and apologized, "Sorry, just kidding, just kidding."

"call--"

Xin Cheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then released Lin Yeming, saying, "Don't make jokes like that again, understand?"

Lin Yeming patted his wrinkled collar and nodded in response, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Let's go, it's time for our next destination."

Just as the two were about to leave, a gust of cold wind blew by, rustling the leaves of the surrounding trees.

Xincheng involuntarily shivered. He looked around, afraid that something might suddenly jump out.

Lin Yeming noticed Xincheng's unease and teased, "What's wrong? Xincheng, are you scared?"

"Who...who's scared!"

Xincheng stubbornly insisted, but his voice trembled slightly.

Just then, they suddenly heard a child's voice.

"Come play! Come play with Obik..."

Xincheng glared at Lin Yeming and said, "Didn't I tell you not to make jokes like this?"

Lin Yeming shrugged and said helplessly, "It's none of my business. I didn't say that."

"Then...who said that?"

As soon as Xincheng uttered those words, the two exchanged a glance, and suspicion immediately arose...

The two men reached into the stock of their guns and swiftly drew their pistols.

No abnormalities were found.

"A noodle stall that was open was found, and the crisis was averted."

Xincheng breathed a sigh of relief and regained his confidence.

Seeing that Xincheng had relaxed, Lin Yeming chuckled and teased, "Looks like you were quite frightened."

Xincheng glared at him and said irritably, "Come on, I'm not scared."

The two men put away their guns and continued their patrol, holding up their flashlights.

Not long after they left, Lin Yeming sensed something was amiss.

After advancing to the next level, his perception became much stronger than before.

"Xincheng, have you noticed an extra footstep...?"

Shinjou's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. He feigned composure and said, "Yeming, you're not joking..."

"How could that be..."

Lin Yeming pulled Xincheng to a stop, but then he heard soft footsteps behind them.

The two turned around abruptly and saw an old man with shaved hair pulling a noodle stall behind them.

Seeing the kind-faced old man, Xincheng's violently beating heart gradually calmed down.

In Japan, there are many mobile noodle stalls that set up late at night, so Shinjo didn't find it strange.

He forced a smile and said, "Uncle, are you packing up and going home so early?"

The old man looked up, and under the dim streetlights, his face appeared unusually weathered.

He smiled slightly, his voice hoarse and deep: "Young men, are you here to play with Obik?"

Before the two could react, he leaped up and flew over their heads with the stall in his arms.

Lin Yeming swiftly retrieved a monster tracker and threw it into Obik's iron pot.

Xincheng quickly used the communicator in his helmet to inform the other team members, urgently saying, "The one pulling the noodle cart is Obik!"

Obikla laughed as he ran his noodle stall, but soon he stopped abruptly.

Because he happened to run into Horii and Daigo on patrol, before the two could react, he waved his wand, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and disappeared from their sight.

The next second, he appeared near Lina.

At that moment, Lina was driving a patrol car when she suddenly saw an old man pulling a cart with facial paralysis slowly overtaking her.

She subconsciously glanced at her current speed; fifteen miles per hour, that's not low.

She quickly realized that the other person was Obik.

Just as they were about to speed up their pursuit, the other person disappeared.

"We've encountered Obik..."

"Me too?"

"I ran into that too!"

"Lina, you ran into her too?"

"Ye Ming, do you have any countermeasures?"

All the intelligence gathered together revealed that they had encountered Obik in a very short time.

Lin Yeming: "Obik should have the ability to move in the dark. Everyone, turn on your light sources."

The patrol team members turned on their flashlights, while the team members driving the patrol cars turned on their high beams.

The group used the lights to force him into a dead end.
