NOVEL NEXT 5: Star
Swift as the wind, this probably describes Ye Lan now.
“So fast!”
Upon discovering that she could indeed run at very high speeds, Ye Lan was already excited.
This was just a test, she hadn’t even used her full strength to run, and she didn’t know where her limit was.
Thinking of this, Ye Lan began to accelerate.
“I can go even faster!”
Whoosh!
As her speed increased, Ye Lan’s silhouette on the road became increasingly blurry, like a black shadow about to disappear.
If one wasn’t paying close attention, it was impossible to see that it was a person running.
At this point, Ye Lan no longer cared about the gazes of others.
Only because she was already immersed in the strange feeling brought by speed!
Meanwhile.
Cai Xun, standing on the pedestrian bridge, discovered this anomaly.
“Holy crap! What’s that?”
Bai Tu and Bu Jie’s gazes were also drawn over. As Night Watchers, they too noticed this anomaly.
“Seems to be a person? But probably not one of our own,” Bu Jie quickly concluded, “But why is she running so fast? Genetic modification? No, current technology hasn’t reached that level yet.”
A thoughtful look appeared in Bai Tu’s eyes.
“It should be a Star. She’s like us, someone who has awakened a Star.”
The so-called “Star” is the general term Night Watchers use for their own abilities.
Stars manifest as supernatural abilities that cannot be explained by science, and certain specific groups of people are the vessels that carry these Stars.
Based on the phenomena exhibited by the Stars, they are classified into different levels.
They are divided into “Nova,” “Bright Moon,” and “Radiant Sun.”
The lowest “Nova” doesn’t represent a very weak ability, it’s just that its effects cannot come into play in many situations, more often just being targeted abilities.
The next “Bright Moon” is more versatile, such as abilities with combat effects or support effects.
The proportion of those holding this type of Star among Night Watchers is relatively large, and it can be used in many situations.
The final “Radiant Sun” is the main force among Night Watchers.
The most typical example is the “Doll City” incident from years ago, where five Radiant Sun level Night Watchers participated, all playing extremely crucial roles.
Without them, the losses of the Night Watchers would likely have been even more devastating.
Of course, the classification of “Stars” residing within Night Watchers is just the judgment of professionals.
Occasionally, there can be mistakes or misjudgments.
For instance, the “Star” within some Night Watchers may not have fully awakened, only showing a part of its power, easily leading to misjudgment.
There’s also the case where the ability hasn’t been fully developed, making misjudgment even more serious.
The growth of a Star may be related to a person’s soul, spirit, or physical body, depending on the specific type.
Therefore, “Nova” and “Bright Moon” can still transform into “Radiant Sun.”
Well, provided they exhibit their proper functions.
Is there anything more powerful?
Yes.
Supernova.
In theory, this kind of exceptional ability also belongs to the “Stars.”
However, it’s difficult to utilize, just an unstable bomb born in some unfortunate vessel.
It’s a case of the same source for friend and foe.
Stars are not only awakened by Night Watchers.
In other words, only those who have awakened Stars are qualified to become Night Watchers.
Because only those carrying Stars can discover the anomalies caused by Stars losing control.
These anomalies all come from Stars that are prone to losing control, most are small in scale and easy to control and resolve. Those like “Supernova” are exceptions.
This type of anomalous phenomenon is called Star Eclipse, and dealing with Star Eclipses is the main work of Night Watchers.
Back to reality.
Bai Tu thought that the person running at extreme speed was someone who had awakened a Star.
For someone running recklessly on the street like this, if they accidentally hit someone and caused an impact, would that count as a Star Eclipse?
Just as Bai Tu was deep in thought, Cai Xun and Bu Jie beside her let out exclamations.
“Cai Dog! Look! She’s accelerating!”
“Street rat! I see it!”
Bai Tu glanced faintly at the two, her gaze returning to the silhouette that was moving faster and faster.
If she continued running at this speed, she would likely disappear from their sight before long.
This also counts as an anomaly.
It’s a special period recently, so they need to catch and investigate.
This was the task assigned from above.
……
Perspective switch.
Ye Lan was still unaware that three people had discovered her anomaly.
Now she was like an unleashed husky, not paying any attention to her surroundings, just immersed in her own joy.
[Can go even faster!]
Just as she was about to accelerate further, a feeling of powerlessness gradually arose.
This powerlessness caused some changes in her stride, and the sudden change in speed instantly threw her body off balance.
Ye Lan’s face turned pale.
“Oh no!”
Splat!
Thud thud thud——
Afterwards, Ye Lan rolled like a ball for a very, very long distance.
Cai Xun and Bu Jie, observing from the pedestrian bridge, were immediately dumbfounded.
“Shocking!”
“Oh my god!”
Bai Tu also froze for a moment, then quickly rushed over.
Cai Xun and Bu Jie followed closely behind.
By the time the three arrived at the scene, several people had already discovered Ye Lan lying peacefully on the ground.
At this time, they seemed to want to send this little girl who had run too fast and fainted from falling to the hospital.
In response, the three quickly stepped forward.
“We are doctors. Leave the scene to us to handle. She needs emergency treatment now, please disperse immediately.”
When executing tasks, Night Watchers can use any identity that facilitates their actions without being held accountable.
Upon hearing this, the passersby quickly dispersed.
The three crouched in front of the petite loli.
Cai Xun looked carefully and immediately widened his eyes.
“Goodness, a little loli only in her teens daring to run so fast. At that speed, even a Night Watcher would die on the spot if they fell!”
Bai Tu checked Ye Lan’s body.
“She still has a heartbeat and breathing, we can save her.”
Now, various parts of Ye Lan’s exposed body had different degrees of abrasions, and there was even blood on her face, probably from hitting her head.
Just as Bu Jie was about to take off the hat on her head, Ye Lan suddenly opened her eyes.
“Holy crap! You scared me!”
Bu Jie quickly withdrew his hand, but Ye Lan grabbed him.
“Help me… go back and destroy the computer… and format the phone…”
After saying this, Ye Lan fainted again, with a peaceful expression.
Regarding the matter of me turning into a loli and immediately landing in the ICU.jpg
Bu Jie’s brain short-circuited for a moment.
“Wait, sister! I don’t even know where your home is, how can I help you!”
Bai Tu glared at him.
“Quickly call our organization’s medical department!”
“Calling now.”
And so, Ye Lan, who had just gone out for a short while, was packaged and taken away.
Meanwhile, in a certain small house.
A silver-haired loli clutched her head and let out a cute cry of distress on the bed.
“Wuu wuu wuu~ It hurts!”
