Department of Night

The Department of Night is a secret executive department of the Chinese government in Guardians of Night. It is currently disguised as the Xiahou Student Council in Xiahou High School.

History
The Department of Night is an organization established to combat monsters and demons who terrorized humans due to the humans' artificial lighting taking over the night, which was originally their active period of the day. It was secretly formed by the Chinese government after the rebellions caused by supernatural beings endangered humans, and recruited the Three Great Guardian Clans' strongest guardians of the current generation as representatives to serve in it, as well as Spiriters if there are any. Later on, due to the increasing incidents caused by supernatural beings, the Department of Night alone couldn't handle all of them, so the government recruited more guardians into governmental agencies such as the police forces. After a secret truce was made between Wang Shengli and Yan Sis that stopped the rebellions, the Department of Night's responsibility expanded from only protecting the public from monsters and demons, and is now responsible for regulating relations with the Underworld and act as meditators between humans and supernatural beings, as well as protecting the public from evil spiritual humans alike.

Point System
Wang Shengli and Yan Sis created a point system for the members of the Department of Night to determine who will ultimately be handed the completed Heaven Crystal. Points are earned by contributing in missions and are settled at the end of each month, which is when the points are exchanged for money. One point can be exchanged for one hundred Yuan (fifteen USD). By contributing in the mission, a member can earn one point, while dealing the finishing touch of the mission earns the member three points. Being a deputy of the Xiahou Student Council or an official officer of the Department of Night doubles the points earned by the member. The last official point chart was revealed after the Lovers Party Arc:
