NOVEL NEXT 3: Sometimes Tears Are Useful
Mo Yu led Ye Lan to sit down on the side.
This way they could communicate properly.
“Little one, since you know about the existence of Stars, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Who told you about this?”
“Mm… I’ve already said I’m a Night Watcher from the future, why won’t you believe me…”
Ye Lan’s brow was full of sorrow as she slowly lowered her head, her expression very aggrieved.
It was a critical moment, and her heart was hiding nervousness and fear, yet she wasn’t trusted.
Now the only ones she could turn to for help were the Night Watchers.
If even the Night Watchers didn’t want to help her, how could she face her current predicament?
To this city, she seemed to be a non-existent person.
As she thought about this, tears involuntarily welled up in Ye Lan’s eyes.
“Wuu…”
“Ah?”
Mo Yu was stunned.
Wait, had he made a little loli cry?
No, was his tone that fierce?
Mo Yu, in a rare moment of panic, didn’t know what to do.
“Uh, don’t cry, I was wrong, I’m sorry…”
Lanfeng Suyu looked at Mo Yu with disdain, her eyes slightly narrowed.
“Mo Yu… how awful, making a girl cry, unforgivable.”
“Hey, don’t make me sound like a scumbag! Weren’t you watching clearly from the side just now?”
“It’s still your fault.”
“Puh!” Mo Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, “Damn it, did you hear that, damn it…”
Lanfeng Suyu ignored Mo Yu, who had already broken down, and walked in front of Ye Lan, patting her head and comforting her in a low voice.
“There, there, don’t cry. This guy didn’t mean to be fierce with you…”
Originally, Ye Lan didn’t want to cry, but being comforted like this made her want to cry even more.
“Wuu wuu… you all don’t believe me…” Ye Lan raised her small hand to wipe her tears, feeling more and more aggrieved in her heart.
“Well…”
Lanfeng Suyu looked at a loss, slowly retreating to Mo Yu’s side.
“Mo Yu, what should we do?”
“It’s the trouble you brought back, solve it yourself. Don’t try to involve me.” Mo Yu closed his eyes to lower his blood pressure.
“You’re so disloyal!” Lanfeng Suyu widened her eyes, puffing up her cheeks.
“Heh~ Who just said I was awful?” Mo Yu sneered, he had already seen through the warmth and coldness of the world.
Lanfeng Suyu couldn’t help but clench her pink fists, almost unable to resist giving him a punch.
“Wuwaaaa————“
Ye Lan’s crying finally stopped being suppressed, and she burst into loud sobs.
Lanfeng Suyu and Mo Yu stopped their infighting and worked together to comfort Ye Lan.
Otherwise, if rumors spread in the base that two Night Watchers had made a little girl cry, they would both lose face.
After a while, Ye Lan’s crying gradually subsided, but she was still sniffling slightly.
“Mm… sorry, I couldn’t hold it back…”
Ye Lan calmed down after crying.
And seeing Lanfeng Suyu and Mo Yu’s helpless expressions just now, the grievance in her heart had also lessened a lot.
Venting was indeed quite useful.
But thinking about it afterward, crying like that in front of two strangers was still a bit embarrassing.
Anyway, Ye Lan’s cheeks still retained a faint blush.
Mo Yu spread his hands and said helplessly, “Well then, now let’s proceed on the premise that we believe you’re a Night Watcher from the future, and have a good talk.”
“Mm…” Ye Lan had already stabilized her emotions.
“When did you join the Night Watchers?”
“Mm… November 1, 2101.”
Lanfeng Suyu nodded thoughtfully, “A year later… it doesn’t seem so distant.”
Mo Yu continued to ask, “Which Night Watchers did you join?”
“Yunzhang City’s.”
“Tell us some information about the Yunzhang City Night Watchers’ base.”
“I remember my boss is called Xiao Jin.” Ye Lan still remembered her boss’s name.
“Xiao Jin?”
Mo Yu frowned slightly.
He had heard of Xiao Jin, a Radiant Sun level Night Watcher, a very powerful assault force, but this couldn’t prove that Ye Lan was from the future.
Mo Yu rubbed his temples and continued to ask.
“Then tell us some things about the future, preferably something representative and very shocking.”
Hearing this, Ye Lan fell into thought.
How should she answer this question?
It not only hadn’t happened in this time period, but also needed to be representative and even more shocking.
Then a light bulb went off in Ye Lan’s little head.
“A Supernova-scale Star Eclipse—[Puppet City], how about that?”
Although she had only skimmed through it, Ye Lan vaguely remembered that this event occurred after this time period.
Mo Yu: “?”
“What?” Lanfeng Suyu was also stunned.
“Supernova… Star Eclipse?”
Hearing these words, Mo Yu’s eyes, which had been maintaining a listless expression, suddenly became sharp.
Supernova events had occurred in history, and several times at that, each bringing extremely terrifying calamities that could be recorded in history.
It had been a long time since a Star Eclipse of that scale had appeared.
Mo Yu even thought that Star Eclipses of that scale only existed in legends.
But now the loli before him had mentioned the term “Supernova Star Eclipse”.
Just hearing this made Mo Yu’s body involuntarily tense up.
If this loli really was from the future, then the possibility of a Supernova Star Eclipse appearing was certain.
And [Puppet City]… just hearing this term gave Mo Yu a chilling feeling.
It was an intuition.
“If what you’re saying is all true, then on which specific day does this event occur, and in which city?”
“Mm… let me think.”
Because she previously thought she wouldn’t have much connection with that Supernova thing, Ye Lan hadn’t looked carefully, at most glancing over it, so her memory wasn’t very clear.
“Shang… Shang…”
“Shanghe City, right?” Mo Yu said the word for her.
“Yes, yes, yes, it seems to be this city.” As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan froze, “Eh?! Isn’t that this very city?!”
“When is it?” Mo Yu grabbed Ye Lan’s shoulders and began to question her seriously.
“Mm… it seems to be late September of this year.”
Hearing this, Mo Yu unhesitatingly pulled Ye Lan’s hand and ran towards the interior of the Night Watchers’ base.
Lanfeng Suyu was stunned for a moment, then followed.
“Wait for me!”
……
In a matter of minutes, Ye Lan was brought to the depths of the base by Mo Yu.
“Boss! Boss! We’ve discovered a major anomaly, come quickly!”
The person Mo Yu called boss was a man in his thirties named Yao Can, whose most obvious feature was his dead fish eyes, looking very fierce.
“What’s all the noise about? Didn’t I tell you to calm down first when facing uncertain situations? Next time, you’ll be sparring with me.”
“Uh, I was wrong, please forgive me.”
Yao Can irritably scratched his hair, wearing an impatient expression.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t waste my time.”
“It’s about a Supernova Star Eclipse.”
“Oh?”
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, Yao Can’s gaze instantly became sharp, his aura changing in an instant.
“Explain in detail.”
Mo Yu pushed Ye Lan in front of Yao Can and said seriously, “This girl says she’s a Night Watcher from the future. According to her, a Supernova Star Eclipse is likely to erupt soon.”
Yao Can fixed his gaze on the black-haired girl before him, his eyes narrowing.
“A Night Watcher… from the future?”
