Chapter 697 Black and White

After experiencing two thefts and a robbery on the bus, Gao Ming "successfully" arrived at the night police post closest to the studio.

The unprepossessing three-story building is hidden in a messy and dirty alley, like a nail driven into a slum.

As soon as he approached, Gao Ming smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant. The roads and walls outside the building had just been disinfected, and residual blood stains could be seen in the corners.

Gao Ming looked at the ordinary road during the day, and imagined that at night, the night guards were transporting the dismembered bodies of patients in boxes.

"Hey! Are you here to pay the city security donation?" A thin old man opened the small window on the sentry post's gate. "It's rare to meet someone so enthusiastic. Usually they would rather wait until the next night to donate. This money is for maintaining city security, not for individuals. Why can't they understand this?"

"Grandpa, is our outpost responsible for this area?" Gao Ming had another purpose for coming here today, which was to find someone.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"A night guard lost something very important last night, and I have to hand it over to him in person. Can you help me find the night guard who gave me the list last night?" While Gao Ming was showing the list, he handed over a famous watch he had picked up in Haojue.

"Give me the things, I'll help you pass them on."

"It really can only be given to him in person." Gao Ming handed over another pearl necklace. The beating he received last night was not in vain.

"I can't help you unless you can prepare a separate donation and put it in the middle drawer of the third cabinet in the post office at 5:30 pm." The old man asked for a huge sum of money. Gao Ming didn't have that much money. He cursed Lao Deng in his heart, but agreed on the surface.

"You have to know the consequences of deceiving the night watchman."

"Know, know."

"Come in." The old man opened a small door next to the main entrance and entered the outpost with Gao Ming.

Unlike the ordinary outside, the inside of the outpost was like a combination of a hospital and a prison. There was a freshly cleaned operating table and some iron cages whose uses were unknown.

"Where are the people? Where did they go? Send someone to receive them!" The old man's words were very effective at the outpost. Two staff members came hurriedly and were very nice to Gao Ming.

"Are you also night guards?" Gao Ming took out the list and asked curiously.

The two staff members waved their hands and denied it: "Not everyone can be a night guard. It requires a brutal assessment. We don't meet the requirements at all."

After taking the form, the staff member looked through the file record and said, "The patient who attacked you in Dog Street last night has been assessed as dangerous at level 11. Do you have enough money?"

"The danger rating is 11, so we have to donate 110,000 yuan, right?" Seeing the two staff members taking it for granted, Gao Ming began to take money out of his pocket helplessly.

Even if he counted the watch and necklace he gave to the old man, he couldn't get together 110,000 yuan, so he moved very slowly and kept observing his surroundings with his peripheral vision.

The old man said he wanted to find someone for him, but after searching for a long time no one came.

"You didn't bring enough money, did you?" The staff member's face changed instantly, and he lowered his voice sinisterly: "The outpost is not a place for ordinary people to visit. If you don't have money, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

...Throwing away the blood-stained tube, Bai Xiao's eyes were bloodshot. He had not closed his eyes to rest since he entered this shrine world yesterday.

This world is full of malice. Everyone is like a beast. Humanity is despised here and the whole city is like a piece of rotten fat.

He washed his hands over and over again, but they still couldn't be cleaned. Bai Xiao looked at the black raincoat that was sent for disinfection, and remembered what happened last night.

After entering the shrine, he took over the body of a night guard who was going crazy. With his willpower far beyond that of an ordinary person, he barely suppressed the malice in his heart, but what happened next almost made his malice get out of control.

The streets were quiet and deserted after midnight, but the oldest night guard at the post wanted to have some fun. He opened the iron cage, injected something into the patients' bodies, and drove them onto the street like animals.

After continuously integrating the memories of the host body, Bai Xiao knew that this was not the first time such a thing had happened. The monsters and weird things on the streets late at night were actually living people!
Without enough medicine and money, they will become monsters, deprived of everything that makes them human.

"The monsters were released by the night guard, and it was the night guard who was responsible for killing and recovering them. The other night guards in the post are used to it, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it." Thinking of this, black threads began to emerge in Bai Xiao's heart again, and they crawled towards Bai Xiao's eyes.

Pulling out the sharp blade, Bai Xiao aimed it at his own eyeballs. Killing intent and malice collided. He wanted to pierce his own head and dig out the malice.

"Xiao Hei, someone is looking for you." The old man who was admiring the famous watch entered the backyard of the outpost and was shocked to see Bai Xiao like that: "Hei Ya! What the hell are you doing?"

Taking the sharp blade away, the old man looked puzzled: "Didn't you take medicine the day before yesterday? Did that thing exceed the threshold and become uncontrollable?"

"It's okay." Bai Xiao did not hide his disgust for the old man at all. The old man was called Lao Qiu, and he was the person in charge of this outpost. The original owner of Bai Xiao's body had been fighting for power with him, but unfortunately he failed. He suspected that he would go crazy, and it was Lao Qiu's fault.

"Don't be so hostile to me, we are all colleagues." The old man stared at Bai Xiao with a smile: "Black Crow, did you drop something on the dog street yesterday? Now they are looking for you."

"I didn't lose anything."

"That means the other night guards in your group lost something. They are outside now. Take your men to check it out." The old man was not surprised that Bai Xiao would go crazy. He seemed to be in a good mood. He hummed a song, admired the new watch, and left slowly.

"Old beast." Bai Xiao cursed inwardly. The original owner of this body of his was codenamed Black Crow. The team he was in charge of originally had six night guards, which was the most powerful team in the outpost. However, they were later ambushed by Lao Qiu, and now there are only three left.

Wiping the water stains off his hands, Bai Xiao walked out of the backyard and came to the reception desk. He originally just wanted to go through the motions, but after seeing the man at the table, his heart seemed to be gripped by a big hand.

"Who is he?"

Bai Xiao looked at the man who came to pay the donation for public security. He looked to be in his forties, thin and weak, with bruises on his face, wearing cheap street stall clothes, and full of the air of a philistine. He was constantly taking money out of his pocket, but the speed at which he took it was getting slower and slower.

"The speed at which my malice is eroding me has slowed down. Is this guy...one of us?"

Bai Xiao coughed and strode towards the reception desk of the outpost.

When the man noticed Bai Xiao coming, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he extended his hand to Bai Xiao very enthusiastically.

"Hello, my name is Li Sansi."
