Nightmare Apostle

In the bustling crowd around, Yang Xiao keenly noticed several wandering gazes. They were the patrol personnel of the security department, all stationed here due to the previous case, hiding among the crowd.

Knowing he was not fighting alone, Yang Xiao felt a subconscious sense of relief, hoping tonight would pass without incident.

Of course, what he meant by peace was only for himself and his partner Ye Zheng; tonight someone would most likely die, he just hoped the ghost wouldn’t choose them.

To survive in the Nightmare World, one needs a bit of luck. In fact, many times luck outweighs effort.

If tonight the ghost chose him or Ye Zheng first, he believed both wouldn’t easily escape.

This is fate.

"Let’s wait here for a while, then go up to patrol," Ye Zheng looked around and said softly.

"Hmm." Yang Xiao nodded in agreement.

The two also followed the crowd and bought a bottle of soda and a skewer of candied fruit, finding a spot with good visibility yet relatively secluded, eating it as if they were a normal couple nearby.

However, it must be said that most of the young couples here still restrained themselves in public and seemed rather shy.

"Are you worried someone might sneak out?" Yang Xiao took a sip of soda and asked.

"You never know, you’ve seen these newcomers, they’re too timid and it’s hard for them to act according to the rules," Ye Zheng chewed the candied fruit, feeling the occasional gaze cast their way by people around.

"Hey, did you notice many people are sneaking glances at you?" Yang Xiao reminded.

Even without Yang Xiao saying, Ye Zheng had already noticed, they were all hot-blooded young men, one of whom got chastised by his female companion for sneaking glances at Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng undoubtedly had a charm the others lacked, an aura of relaxation and laziness typical of those in high positions over the years.

Yang Xiao had seen similar vibes from Jiang Qingluan, but they were different. Jiang Qingluan carried a spirit that Yang Xiao admired, an indomitable drive to do everything perfectly and shoulder every responsibility.

This aspect was similar to Yang Xiao, but he knew people like them generally live poorly, especially unhappily.

"Hey, are we not acting intimate enough? Because even those people from the security department are watching us." Yang Xiao outwardly showed no emotion, but privately noticed something unusual.

It seemed their identity was strictly confidential; these ordinary security personnel were unaware of their background.

They were secretly investigating as per Chief Zhou’s request from the higher-up units, almost solely in contact with Chief Zhou.

After all, this case had no leads, and Chief Zhou might suspect a traitor within the security department, which was reasonable.

In the next moment, Yang Xiao’s body shuddered violently, pupils shrank abruptly, for he felt his left cheek cool as someone gently kissed it.

"Now they won’t suspect us," Ye Zheng whispered.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xiao was startled by the woman’s bold move and questioned quietly.

"It’s just a kiss, no need to be so tense. Hasn’t your girlfriend kissed you?" Ye Zheng was indifferent. "And did you notice, now they don’t suspect our identity anymore."

Indeed, they no longer suspect, yet Yang Xiao felt his face burning, being watched subtly by dozens of eyes. People nearby cast disapproving glances at the couple’s bold move, turning it into almost a trial.

Moreover, two men with red armbands approached, looking exceedingly stern. A woman with old-fashioned braided hair pointing at Ye Zheng seemed to be accusing.

After hearing the woman’s accusations, Yang Xiao and Ye Zheng were invited out of the Cultural Palace by the two men to be severely criticized at a sparsely populated spot beside the palace’s right gate.

It was nothing but lecturing them about neglecting personal influence, tarnishing public morality, this is a public place, and to know decency, cannot behave recklessly.

Yang Xiao didn’t expect their criticism would mostly be directed at him, as if he was the one at fault.

"What’s going on?" Suddenly, a figure approached from behind.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yang Xiao quickly turned back, indeed it was Chief Zhou, knowing help had arrived.

After listening to the exaggerated accusations against Yang Xiao and Ye Zheng, Chief Zhou simply criticized them a bit, then sent the two away, introducing them as new members of the security department before leaving.

Once they had left far enough, Chief Zhou slowly exhaled, looked at Ye Zheng and then at Yang Xiao, finally advising Ye Zheng softly: "You’ve been wronged."

Then turned to Yang Xiao, with a tone of disappointment, he said: "I know you’re young and impulsive, but Ma Jiefang, this is a public place, you need to restrain a bit."

Yang Xiao: "???!

"Chief Zhou, don’t chastise him, Ma Jiefang knows he was wrong, he won’t do it again next time," Ye Zheng whispered.

"Learn from her!" Chief Zhou looked at Yang Xiao with growing disdain.

"Um... Chief Zhou, there’s something, did the three victims apply for family housing or similar unauthorized improvements in accommodation or living conditions?" Yang Xiao seized the opportunity to ask.

"No, Old Zhang’s family house allocation was relatively late, when he and his wife moved in, the factory seniors with similar qualifications had mostly moved in already, haven’t heard of any dispute."
