As the sky phenomenon vanished, the Evil Demon Clan ceased their mad rush toward the eastern suburbs.
Deng and Lu fought fiercely, wiping out the Evil Demons completely,
and the nearly 3-hour Night of Ghosts did not leave the city engulfed in flames.
After the Big Nightmare flew away, Lu Ran did not return to the Fifth Elementary School; he continued to patrol the nearby three street blocks.
He looked for any lingering remnants of the Evil Demons and, along the way, nodded his greetings to the Moon Gazers as he passed by.
There was a sense of joy among the survivors, visible on their faces to varying degrees.
Especially when Lu Ran walked past residential areas, he frequently saw citizens watching from behind windows,
their faces filled with a deeper sense of relief.
Some smiled at Lu Ran; others waved from afar.
In the East Water Bay community, an elderly lady on the third floor even opened her window to repeatedly thank Lu Ran.
