Chapter 1: Night, High Willow City, the Killer Wu Chang
It was already nighttime, with neither stars nor moon shining.
The earth sank into endless darkness.
Outside the city, the chilly wind howled, as if ghosts wept and gods lamented, piercing one's soul.
In High Willow City, built for over two sixty-year cycles, a "god" had always resided, keeping evil forces at bay.
Rarely was there evil mischief within the city, but beneath the tranquility, restless hearts abounded, leading to frequent calamities.
Hence, the City Guard Mansion organized two teams called "Patrol Envoys" to maintain order; one patrolled by day, the other by night.
"Boss, we've caught the flower thief."
"Just as Master predicted, he's not from our district."
"Damn! This guy is really ugly."
"No wonder the girls he ravaged all wanted to end their lives. Just looking at his face makes me want to vomit."
