Qilin was eager to know about the captain's situation.

But neither he nor anyone else in the organization knew much about the captain.

Qilin snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at the sky.

Dark clouds are gathering; it's going to rain.

Qilin calmly reached into his bottomless pocket, as if to explore another world.

When his fingers touched the mysterious object, he slowly withdrew them, revealing a golden pocket watch in his hand.

This pocket watch seems to possess an irresistible charm.

The surface is inlaid with delicate gold trim, the dial is engraved with exquisite patterns and numbers, and the hands turn gracefully.

Like a precious work of art, every detail showcases unparalleled luxury and exquisite craftsmanship.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of rain turned into a continuous roar, as if the sky had been cracked open with countless gaps, and the torrential rain gathered into a waterfall, pouring down onto the earth.

"Crack!"

Qilin gently pressed the pocket watch to stop.

In the area where he was, time seemed to have been magically paused.

The falling rain, as if frozen in mid-air, seemed to be under a spell.

It's like a beautiful painting, absolutely gorgeous.

Wherever the Qilin goes, time seems to stand still.

Chapter 15 Ordinary

By the time you open this letter, I should already be dead.

My name is Li Hu, and this is my story.

I am a believer in decay.

Yes, we are called Decay, and outsiders generally refer to us as a cult.

However, we disagree.

Those whose faith has decayed will unlock a special ability.

[Corruption will decay the body of the awakened one, and with each additional layer of decay, the awakened one's strength will increase.]

Therefore, outsiders call us a cult.

The corrupt god they worship is also known as an evil god.

Five years ago, the corrupt organization discovered an extremely mysterious force.

[Thus, as the cardinal of the Jiangnan branch, after three years of effort, I finally infiltrated this organization.]

This mysterious organization is called the "Night Watch".

They have their own complete set of doctrines and principles, and they do not believe in any particular god.

They only believe: Human will can conquer nature!

They used mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas as their code names.

[The Night Watchman is Suzaku, the Night Watchman is Bai Ze, the Night Watchman is Qilin...]

The founder of the Night's Watch is an unknown and mysterious figure.

A mysterious figure periodically issues missions within the organization, tasking the Night's Watch members with finding their own inherited artifacts to unlock their "genetic locks."

These Night Watchers also spontaneously deal with portals that appear in various places and hunt down notorious monsters.

【............】

Through years of investigation, I have finally identified the true identity of this Night's Watch captain.

I know I might never return, but I have no other choice.

The Night's Watch has discovered my presence, and the corrupt believers throughout the Jiangnan region have already fallen victim to their attack.

I will face this Night's Watch captain in hiding alone.

All things decay, but life endures!

May the Lord bless me!

[—Li Hu's Last Words]

.........

The rain was heavy and came down very fast.

It fell to the ground and formed a misty rain.

Lu Jing sat in the restaurant, waiting for today's leading lady.

He held a gift box in his hand, resting his chin on his hand as he looked out at the rain.

Ma Jianyu asked, "What gift did you buy?"

"A music box," Lu Jing said. "What are you planning to give as a gift?"

Ma Jianyu took out his gift, which was an exquisite fountain pen.

Lu Jing remembered that this pen cost four figures, and he blinked.

“Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?”

"Exaggerated? Tian Xiran gave me a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, which costs around that much."

Song Zeqi gave me a perfume, and it cost this much!

As Ma Jianyu spoke, he held up one finger.

Capitalism is truly damn evil!

Lu Jing thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

Good heavens, there are so many rich people in the world, what difference does one more make?

I wish I had that money.

Lu Jing thought about throwing a birthday party for himself.

Will I also receive gifts from these young masters and ladies?

Lu Jing preferred it when they said to him, "You loser, do you even deserve to be associated with us?"

He threw down a huge wad of banknotes and said, "Take this money and get out!"

Lu Jing felt that his gift was a bit embarrassing.

However, he couldn't come up with a better gift even if you beat him to death.

Judging from the restaurant's decor, a meal there must be quite expensive.

I'll buy a small gift worth 100 yuan and get a free meal.

It was worth it.

Lu Jing skipped breakfast specifically for this meal.

That's all I have in mind.

Lu Jing knew nothing about Van Cleef & Arpels; he had never even heard of it.

He only felt the vast disparity in the world.

I didn't realize it when I lived in a small county town.

It wasn't until I came to the big city that I realized how different I was from others.

Lu Jing took a small sip of his drink, not daring to drink too much.

I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything else later.

Just then, today's leading lady arrived.

Shen Chuyue wore an exquisite black evening gown made of high-end custom fabric that was soft and smooth, conforming to her body curves and emitting a faint sheen.

The neckline features a unique deep V-neck design, revealing her slender neck and alluring collarbone, while the dress itself is simple and elegant.

The dress was perfectly tailored, showcasing her elegant temperament while maintaining a touch of sexiness.

Paired with high heels, the whole person appears even taller and slimmer.

“Wow!!”

As soon as they entered, they were greeted with cheers.

Lu Jing was no exception; his eyes widened in surprise.

So beautiful~

Then everyone gave each other gifts and wished each other a happy birthday.
