Chapter 20

It Really Is a Zombie! [还真是僵尸啊! Hái Zhēn Shi Jiāng Shī A!] is the twentieth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
A dazed Ye Yan remembers a discussion Wuren had with him and Huang Xiaoyan when they reported for duty.

In the flashback, Wuren tells the two that the president of the student council is currently not at school. He then notes that the president is an officer of the Department of Night, and that even Wang Shengli, the principal of the school, must listen to him when deciding whether the two guardians are allowed to stay in the Department. He mentions that the president is a sensitive person, and warns Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan to choose their words wisely when talking to him if they want to leave a good impression.

Back to the present, Wuren reveals to Ye Yan that the person he just attacked is the president. Ximen Guanren gets Ye Yan's attention and tells him to not let the white-haired girl get away, who is revealed to be a zombie in disguise. The zombie girl then runs away upon being discovered. Realizing that the girl was the murderer all along, Ye Yan prepares to chase her down with Hundun, but Wuren tells him to withdraw Hundun to avoid damaging the city's infrastructure. As the zombie girl jumps up a building and is about to flee, three of Ye Yan's Flag Demons intercept her and kick her down, causing her to crash into a building, much to Wuren's chagrin. As the three prepare to capture her, the zombie releases a cloud of zombie gas, incapacitating them. Wuren asks why the Flag Demons are being affected if they can turn into gas, with Ye Yan explaining that that is precisely the reason why they are affected more severely. As the cloud of zombie gas approaches them, Ye Yan notices a crowd of onlookers gathering near them.
