Fang Mo hummed and sat down obediently.

In front of Lin Qiye, he did not have the aura of the most popular captain of the special team today. Instead, he looked like a student who had just walked out of the training camp.

"Shen Qingzhu has already told me the details... The hunt for 073 was successfully completed this time. Your team did a great job."

"Actually, we didn't do anything. We just drifted in that sea for a few days, and then in order to prevent 073 from escaping, we triggered an attack from outer space... In the end, it was Instructor Shen who killed the god." Fang Mo smiled helplessly.

“What? You haven’t even reached the ceiling of humanity, and you want to kill gods?” Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows. “As a special team, you have done very well.”

"You only had 'Wulian' back then, but you also killed a god in Takamagahara, didn't you? And there were only three of us at that time."

Lin Qiye was startled and said helplessly:

"Do you really have to compete with me?"

"I know I may never be able to surpass you...but at least, I want to try to chase after you."

Fang Mo's eyes were full of seriousness.

Knock knock knock——

Before Lin Qiye could open his mouth, an elegant knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

"It seems that this time it slowed down faster." Lin Qiye guessed who the person was and said directly, "Come in."

The door opened, and a figure wearing red and white armor and a white cloak walked to the center of the office. He stretched out one hand to his chest and respectfully performed a knight's salute to Lin Qiye.

"Sit down, Charles, you're slower than Fang Mo this time." Lin Qiye's voice rang out.

Charles and Fang Mo looked at each other, with intense sparks flashing in their eyes. After a cold snort, they sat down on the chair next to him.

Four years ago, [Devil] and [Knight] were converted to regular soldiers in the same batch, and both were promoted by Lin Qiye himself. Naturally, there was some competition between them. Over the years, Fang Mo and Charles had competed with each other on many missions.

Thanks to the existence of the "external enemy" [Knight], Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou had to join forces to face the outside world, which allowed [Devil] to grow into the top special team in a short period of time.

Lin Qiye saw all of this, and of course he would not stop it. As the commander-in-chief, he was very happy to see this kind of healthy competition.

"Charles, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Lin Qiye looked at Charles.

Charles opened his mouth, but still said helplessly:

"Commander, we have searched everywhere around Mount Olympus for the past few years, but we can't find 043's whereabouts... This time we tried to join forces with the Upper Evil Society and infiltrated their circle of people, but we still have no clues."

Hearing this, Lin Qiye frowned and looked a little gloomy.

043?

When Fang Mo heard this code name, he felt it sounded familiar.

043...It seems to be the code name of the goddess of night Nyx observed by the Night Watchmen in Daxia a few years ago?

What does Commander Lin want to see Nyx for?

"Back then, 043 was ambushed by Zeus and fled to Olympus. They have never been seen since then, and the gods in the world have never seen them. We discussed it with the research institute of the Shangxie Society and felt that..." Charles was hesitant to speak.

"What do you think?"

"I think it's unlikely that they will survive." Charles mustered up the courage to speak out, "043 was once one of the three supreme gods of Olympus. Although she was defeated by Zeus, the revenge for killing her son is still there. If she were alive, she wouldn't have done nothing for so many years.

Perhaps, the injury 043 suffered was more serious than we thought, and he died not long after leaving Olympus. "

Bang——!

Before Charles finished his words, a crisp breaking sound was heard.

Charles was stunned and looked around in confusion, only to see Lin Qiye wearing a crimson cloak, sitting calmly behind his desk. Apart from his somewhat gloomy face, there was nothing unusual about him.

"Are you finished?" Lin Qiye spoke slowly.

"...That's all." For some reason, Charles felt the atmosphere was a little strange. He swallowed and spoke cautiously.

"Although we didn't find out any important information, it's still a relief for you to make this trip." Lin Qiye picked up a document at hand and handed it to Charles, his voice softened a little.

"I heard that a small-scale kingdom of God has recently emerged from the fog. It's called [Heaven of God's Desire], and its behavior is evil and weird. You guys go investigate it next."

"A new mission?" Charles' eyes lit up, and he immediately took the document from Lin Qiye, "Leave it to us!"

"What about us?" Fang Mo asked quickly.

"Your team has been on the go for two years, it's time for a vacation." Lin Qiye took out the leave note he had prepared long ago, "Take a good rest these few days, and I will arrange tasks for you later."

"……good."

Taking a vacation is indeed a luxury for the [Demon] team. They have only had one vacation in four years. This time, they helped Shen Qingzhu kill Alatos, which can be considered a great achievement, so they can have a good rest.

Fang Mo and Charles left the office and just walked downstairs to the Night Watch headquarters. Charles kept feeling that something was wrong. He looked back for some reason and his eyes suddenly widened.

"What the hell!!" The first thing the knight commander from the West said was a true Chinese quintessence.

"What's wrong?"

“The headquarters… the headquarters… is broken apart!!”

Fang Mo looked back and saw that there was indeed a crack in the building of the Night Watch headquarters, and the location of the crack was right near Lin Qiye's office.

Fang Mo was about to say something when a ray of light flashed and the headquarters building suddenly returned to its original state, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Charles was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and said in confusion:

"Strange...it clearly cracked just now..."

Fang Mo took a deep look at the office, then retracted his gaze and walked away with Charles:

"You are dazzled. I'll bring you a bottle of Fengyoujing later. Just apply it a few more times and it will be fine."

"Fengyoujing? Is it your Daxia's magic eye medicine?"

"……right."

…

Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

Lin Qiye stood in front of the window, looking at the sky in the distance, his fists clenched tightly...

"Mother..." he muttered to himself.

Nyx was his first patient and the best person in the world to him besides his aunt.

A child who had been without a mother since childhood, and a mother who had gone insane due to the pain of losing her child... Their meeting was the initial luck and also the salvation of each other. In Lin Qiye's heart, Nyx had long been recognized as his mother.

When the Earth encountered a crisis before, there was no sign of Nyx. Lin Qiye felt something was not right. He had been sending people to find out the whereabouts of Nyx for the past four years, but to no avail.

"Qi Ye..." Shen Qingzhu walked out slowly from the shadow of the office with a complicated expression.

The noise just now fooled Charles Fang Mo and others, but it couldn't fool Shen Qingzhu. He knew that at that moment, Lin Qiye's mind was in violent agitation.

"She is still alive." After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qiye spoke slowly.

"What?"

"If she was dead, I would be able to sense the changes in the laws of the night immediately... but in fact, she didn't, so she must still be alive." A gleam of brilliance emerged in Lin Qiye's deep eyes.

"She is somewhere in this world, but for some reason, she can't communicate with the outside world... No matter what, I must find her!"
