Chapter 61

C is the sixty-first chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Back to the present, upon hearing about Ximen Guanren's injury and incapacitation, Wang Shengli asks Wuren about the locations of the other guardians. The latter replies that Huang Xiaoyan is surrounded by a group of otakus on an island, Che Yongtai is seduced by and applying sunscreen on some girls, and Xi Sha is competing in a watermelon eating contest. Only Ye Yan's whereabouts are unknown.

Meanwhile, Ye Yan is swimming in the lake. He remembers distracting Xi Sha with the watermelon eating contest and is relieved that he was able to escape from her. It is then revealed that he is dressed in a shark-like costume while swimming. The shark fin hat on his head can be seen above the water, which terrifies two men on a boat nearby and causes them to row away. As Ye Yan continues to swim, a woman sunbathing on a nearby shoal also notices the shark fin. Believing him to be a real shark, she picks up an incredibly large rock and throws it at Ye Yan, successfully hitting him, much to her glee.

At the same time, Wuren is monitoring Ximen Guanren with a doctor at a temporary emergency room near the resort. The physician notes that the president only suffered one injury. Wuren finds it interesting that Ximen was defeated with a single attack and wonders how he was attacked from behind while chasing after the male murderer. Wuren then notices Ximen Chicken entering the room and asks it if it saw anything. The chicken nods and draws the letter "C" on the floor.

Back to Ye Yan's location, the woman who knocked him out casts a fishing net in order to capture the "shark". Her white sun hat falls off as she enthuses over being able to eat shark fin, revealing that she bears purplish-red hair and a blue crescent moon tattoo on the right side of her neck.
