NOVEL NEXT 14: Is This My Limit?
On their way back, Ye Lan and Ling Miao encountered Bai Tu and her group.
“Ye Lan, why are you here?” Bai Tu approached Ye Lan, her expression slightly puzzled.
Ye Lan pointed at the already sweating Ling Miao beside her, without any concealment: “Senior Ling Miao brought me out.”
Thus, the gazes of Bai Tu’s group focused on the silent Ling Miao.
Cai Xun stroked his chin, narrowing his eyes.
“Let me guess, did you little girl arbitrarily bring Ye Lan to the mission site?”
“Meow~”
Ling Miao sweated.
Bu Jie also joined in the commotion.
“Tsk~ You silly loli, not content with courting your own doom, you want to drag an accomplice down with you? Shouldn’t this be reported and get you confined for ten days to half a month? This is no joking matter.”
“Wuu~”
Ling Miao sweated profusely!
Then she looked pitifully at Bai Tu, trying to muddle through by acting cute.
Bai Tu shook her head: “Indeed, you shouldn’t have. Executing missions is still too early for you. You have almost no ability to resolve dangers if encountered. Moreover, Ling Miao, this time you even brought along Ye Lan, who just joined the Night Watchers and doesn’t understand anything yet. You really shouldn’t have.”
“Yi~”
Ling Miao sweated waterfalls!
It’s over, this time she was definitely going to be confined for a long time.
At this moment, Ling Miao looked like a cat who had lost its dreams. If she had cat ears and a tail, they would surely be drooping, looking ultra-pitiful.
Ye Lan quietly observed from the side, also roughly figuring out Ling Miao’s personality.
She’s just a rather mischievous loli, who knows to admit her mistakes.
Although she had the air of daring to do it again next time, she was still quite cute. Of course, it would be even better if she didn’t cause trouble.
So Ye Lan decided to step in.
“Wait, actually, I asked Senior Ling Miao to bring me out. I was a bit curious about the scene where the Star Eclipse phenomenon occurs, so I wanted to come see it with my own eyes. I wasn’t forced to come. And Senior Ling Miao took good care of me, didn’t let me go out, just let me watch the livestream. So please forgive her.”
Ye Lan cutely winked in Ling Miao’s direction. Ling Miao instantly understood and quickly nodded, a feeling of gratitude immediately rising from her heart.
[What an adorable little angel meow!]
Ling Miao decided, she must stick to Ye Lan and become best friends!
Bai Tu’s group naturally saw the little interaction between the two, but didn’t point it out.
“We’ll let you off this time, but remember not to do it again, otherwise you’ll both be confined.”
“Understood meow!”
Ling Miao guaranteed first, though how credible it was remained unknown.
In the subsequent conversation, Ye Lan learned that Bai Tu’s group were Ling Miao’s referrers.
In other words, they were the ones who let Ling Miao join the Night Watchers, almost identical to Ye Lan’s experience.
No wonder Ling Miao would listen to them and didn’t dare to talk back excessively.
Then Bai Tu suddenly remembered something and said: “Since you two already know each other, from now on, let Ling Miao guide Ye Lan. You two are the same age, so you should get along more easily. Although Ling Miao is a bit mischievous, she understands what needs to be understood. Ye Lan, if there’s anything you don’t know, just ask her. It’s best to quickly grasp the common knowledge Night Watchers need to understand.”
“Great!”
Ling Miao happily jumped up, like a child who had received a new toy.
Ye Lan didn’t object either. As long as she had time to slack off, it was fine.
Only money earned while slacking off is truly earned!
As for Star Eclipses, she didn’t want to get involved.
Bu Jie came over and ruffled Ling Miao’s hair, sneering: “Although, you little brat, just don’t lead Ye Lan astray. She’s your responsibility now, you must take that responsibility seriously.”
“I know that even if you don’t say it.” Ling Miao dodged Bu Jie’s hand, revealing her fierce little fang, “And don’t casually pat my head, or I’ll bite you! Then report you for bullying children.”
“Alright, alright, what an unlikeable brat.”
Then Bai Tu’s group left.
The Tragedy Shadow Troupe wouldn’t easily leave a city unless their performance was successful.
But this time the Night Watchers had stopped them, so they would surely find an opportunity to make a comeback.
In this situation, finding the few anomalies hidden in this city was the Night Watchers’ next task.
But such a task was far from easy.
Star holders, after becoming Star Eclipse initiators, were no longer considered human, but had transformed into another bizarre existence.
They didn’t need to eat, sleep, or rest, only using human thought patterns to achieve their obsessions.
It felt as if they had transformed from carbon-based life forms into another type of life.
Even within the Night Watchers, this bizarre organization wasn’t fully understood. They only knew that when combined, they formed a Star Eclipse comparable to a Supernova.
Moreover, their method of hiding gave the Night Watchers even more headaches, being extremely difficult to find.
Anyway, the trouble level of the Tragedy Shadow Troupe had already been experienced by Night Watchers in other cities and shared with all Night Watchers.
Currently, a “Tragedy Shadow Troupe Strategy Group” had been formed among the Night Watchers, showing how much hatred these few Star Eclipses had attracted.
Such tenacious enemies were the most annoying.
After Bai Tu’s group left, Ling Miao and Ye Lan also returned to the Night Watchers’ base.
……
In a Night Watcher’s room.
A black-haired loli and a white-haired loli sat on chairs, each holding a drawing board, with brushes in hand drawing something on the boards.
It was Ye Lan and Ling Miao.
The situation was like this.
After returning to the Night Watchers’ base, Ling Miao had arbitrarily dragged Ye Lan back to her own room.
This seemingly criminal behavior, if Ling Miao hadn’t been a girl, might have been stopped by some Night Watchers halfway.
Ye Lan had asked why, but Ling Miao only said, “You’ll know when we get there meow, come on.”
It gave a strange sense of déjà vu.
Back in the room, Ling Miao said her hobby was drawing, and incidentally asked if Ye Lan could draw.
Ye Lan felt that she had been in the two-dimensional world for so many years, what kind of paper people hadn’t she seen? Even if she hadn’t eaten pork, hadn’t she seen pigs run?
So she answered: “A little bit.”
Then Ling Miao gave Ye Lan a drawing board, and they started drawing.
Well, it was quite inexplicable.
After nearly ten minutes, Ye Lan looked sadly at the content on her drawing board.
“Is this… my limit?”
At this moment, Ling Miao came over.
“Eh meow~ Ye Lan, are you finished?”
“I guess…”
“Let me see!”
Ye Lan handed over the drawing board. Ling Miao took it and looked carefully, bursting into laughter at first glance.
“Hahaha meow~ What’s this, isn’t it the legendary stick figure? And you said you could draw a little.”
“Wuu~ I overestimated myself.”
Ye Lan covered her face, already feeling very embarrassed.
Ling Miao didn’t continue to tease Ye Lan, and started to comfort her.
“It’s okay, everyone has things they can’t do. You must have your own skills!”
Does she mean running away?
That’s indeed quite skillful.
But why does it feel even more sad?
