Gao Wu: Only After I Died Did the Whole City Know That I Was the Night Watchman

On the day Qi Jin was executed, the whole city cursed him. They said he was a deserter, a traitor, and the sinner who killed three thousand warriors. His former comrades personally testified against him, his own sister severed ties with him in public, and even the city he had guarded for ten years had his name on a monument of shame. Before the execution, Qi Jin did not explain. He just looked at the lights all over the city and said: "Don't sleep at twelve o'clock tonight." That night, the whole city fell into a nightmare. Only then did everyone see the truth—— The monster outside the city is never the biggest disaster. The real disaster is hidden in everyone's dream. They can sleep peacefully every night, not because the city wall is high enough, nor because the warriors are strong enough. It's because Qi Jin alone stayed outside everyone's dream gate and died nine hundred and ninety-nine times. But when the whole city began to regret it, Qi Jin was already dead. After twelve o'clock, a voice came from the depths of the nightmare: "The Night's Watch is dead." "Now, it's the night disaster's turn to judge the world."
