Chapter 19 She's so capable, yet she's just a temporary worker?
The rain stopped, and on the open ground covered with knife marks, a small mangy dog with a small cloth bag hanging around its neck walked leisurely.
"May your soul return..."
There was no reaction whatsoever; the little black toad frowned in a very human way.
I took a deep sniff.
"This shouldn't be happening. How come we can't smell a trace of a soul?" Little Black Leper squinted at the cleaned-up area, now only marked with knife marks, and guessed, "Could it be that the guy isn't dead? Or was he suspended by something... and is still alive?"
In the quiet, deserted night, no one could answer its question.
In the pitch-black night, its eyes gleamed with a faint light...
It seems that he is destined to have made a wasted trip.
***
Peace Office, underground activity space, lobby.
Lin Qiye, Liu Lang, and Lei Yingdian sat opposite Wu Xiangnan.
Just like when Liu Lang and the others first arrived, except Chen Muyi was replaced by Wu Xiangnan.
In the spacious and bright hall, besides the four of them, there were also five other members of Squad 136.
Liu Lang was exhausted and lay on the sofa in the firm... looking completely relaxed and unserious.
Wu Xiangnan looked at Liu Lang with a solemn expression, "You mean, after Zhao Kongcheng used [Ghost God Summoning]... he killed that new Ghost King? And then the other Ghost King that the captain injured was killed by your master?"
Liu Lang showed no intention of getting up. "Yes, everyone's happy."
Wu Xiangnan looked at Liu Lang's unserious manner and was speechless. "Sit down properly before you speak!"
Liu Lang didn't argue and just sat down on the sofa normally.
Lei Dianying remained silent, maintaining her "socially awkward" persona, and Wu Xiangnan knew that she wouldn't answer no matter what she was asked.
So he turned to Lin Qiye and asked, "Did you see it that way too?"
"Yes."
Wu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, seemingly lost in thought.
Although he had already asked when he arrived, he still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Putting aside the question of whether Lei's movie could be believed to be about him killing a Ghost Face King by using the "Zhan" realm, it's still hard to believe that an ordinary person like Lao Zhao could kill the Ghost Face King by using the "Ghost God's Guidance".
"You...don't you have anything to add to this matter?" He looked at Liu Lang with interest, then at Lin Qiye.
Liu Lang wasn't about to let him get away with it. "I admit I went up and exchanged a few blows with Ghost Face King, but after Old Zhao unleashed his power... I didn't even have a chance to intervene!"
"What's wrong with Old Zhao killing the Ghost-Faced King all by himself?"
Unlike Liu Lang, Lin Qiye looked down at the floor and said silently, "It's the same as what Liu Lang said."
"Were you there when they were fighting?" Wu Xiangnan asked.
"I'm here."
"Old Wu, why are you so stubborn? It was [Ming Sheng Shan Yue], Old Zhao used the Ghost God Guide... which activated his own forbidden realm! Do you understand what I'm saying?" Liu Lang really didn't want to see Wu Xiangnan continue to question Old Zhao's contribution.
If it were really like in the original story, where Lin Qiye finished him off in the end, then so be it.
But... it really was Zhao Kongcheng who killed him.
What's there to doubt?
Wu Xiangnan looked at Liu Lang, "How come there are lightning marks on the Ghost Face King's body? As far as I know... [Eliminate Life and Flash Moon] doesn't have this effect."
And... the Demon King's severed limbs.
Liu Lang was stunned and speechless.
He can't very well say it's thanks to the "Eye of God," can he?
Currently, the effects of the "Eye of God" remain a mystery.
After all, even the renowned scholars of Teyvat Sumeru were not entirely clear about the conditions for obtaining the "Eye of God".
Moreover, like Qin, Lao Zhao has activated his previously dimmed "Eye of God".
This is simply inexplicable.
Hongying sat alone on a single sofa, hugging her legs, revealing a pair of reddened eyes. "If Old Zhao were to awaken in front of us, he would definitely pester us to say that this is the most handsome and forbidden Ruins, right?"
Chen Muye was just standing aside, silently listening to Wu Xiangnan's questions, since his job was only to fight and kill.
Wu Xiangnan has many more things to consider.
However, a message came through his headset...
Zhao Kongcheng—did not die.
Although he cannot wake up at the moment, what we do know is that when that power reaches a certain level...
Old Zhao will wake up again.
He then thought of Lei's film agent and immediately understood what was going on.
"There's no dispute about Lao Zhao's contribution... Let's leave it at that." Chen Muye walked to the sofa where the group was sitting, then turned his gaze to Lin Qiye. "Now let's talk about you... You mean, you want to join the Night Watch?"
"I seem to remember that both Lao Zhao and Lao Wu invited you... So why do you want to join us now?"
Lin Qiye and Chen Muye looked into each other's eyes, and Lin Qiye said seriously, "I want to join the Night's Watch, but I will only stay with the Night's Watch for ten years... After ten years, I will leave."
"You need to understand, the Night's Watch isn't a place you can come and go as you please. Have you thought this through?" Chen Muye asked.
"I've made up my mind." Lin Qiye nodded, looking serious.
"But I can't make that promise to you. Ten years from now... whether you can leave or not is up to you. Can you accept that?"
"I can. If I can't leave after ten years, that's my own problem."
Hearing Lin Qiye's words, even Hongying, who had been grieving, was stunned, let alone Leng Xuan and Si Xiaonan, who had been watching the whole thing...
Captain, is this really okay?
Isn't this a bit... lawless?
“In that case, I’ll submit your application to the higher-ups on your behalf. But until then, you’re just like them… not a formal member, only a temporary member,” Chen Muye said, pointing to Liu Lang and the other man.
Temporary worker? Lin Qiye looked at Lei Yingdian sitting next to Liu Lang and said in surprise, "She's so capable... and she's just a temporary worker?"
Hearing this, Chen Muye also felt a bit of a toothache, and said through gritted teeth, "According to the regulations... only those who have gone through intensive training can be considered official members, and others can only be considered our temporary members."
Temporary worker, emmm...
You can understand it that way too.
"We, the Night's Watch, are a semi-military organization. All new members must undergo a year-long intensive training program before officially joining the Night's Watch."
"That's the rule, there's nothing I can do about it."
As for what kind of trouble Lei's film crew will cause during the training camp.
Why would someone at the Challenger rank be asked to play in a Platinum-rank game?
This is clearly fried fish.
Forget it, let's leave this to the higher-ups to worry about.
