Chapter 18: Land of Sighs (18)

After the observer went offline, Dorota did not stay for long. She wrote down the locations of several hidden spots and went back.

"Yu Bai is here. Do you want to go see her?"

A glass of brightly colored wine was pushed in front of her. The red and blue collided and merged in a split manner, like the romantic sunset after bidding farewell to the daytime, and the swaying was full of brilliance.

Dorota, who had been lacking interest since she came back, turned her head. She didn't know whether it was because of his words or the glass of wine, but she was finally a little more energetic. She shook her head and took a sip.

"Yu Bai is in the training room downstairs."

She lifted the glass with five fingers, and the wine showed a more colorful color under the light, reflecting in the blue eyes. She saw the person in front of her nodded, and she was not surprised.

"After all, You Bai doesn't have to prepare for exams like other students. She will be able to go to the executive building in a few weeks." The water drops sliding down the wall of the glass wet her palms. She just listened attentively. Instead, Yu Bufeng noticed this and took a tissue to help her wipe it carefully. "There are not enough people here, and members from other cities also have important tasks to do. I just asked You Bai to come over." "

..."

Dorota glanced at him, and it was hard to tell whether her tone agreed or disagreed: "You are partial to You Bai. You want her to see me so much?"

Based on You Bai's understanding of Bai He, she has met her many times, and even if she pretends well, she will see through it one day.

This is Yu Bufeng's rare selfishness.

Of course, the real reason is to consolidate You Bai's position in the organization. She is the youngest among all the ministers and has not even graduated yet. This is an honor, but it can also become a sharp blade that drags her into the swamp. Yu Bufeng specially planned this action to find out the recent abnormal actions in the files and stop them. The overall responsibility is for "Bai Yu" to take the opportunity to prove herself.

As expected, she then heard Yu Bufeng continue: "After all, I have been expelled from the imperial capital, and it is inconvenient for me to show up. I let You Bai be the captain of this operation. What do you think of the candidates?"

Dorota roughly thought of who the other members would be after hearing this, but avoided answering, pretending to be stupid and asked: "What about the other members? You can't just let me, a newcomer, go, right?"

"...The Performer will continue to follow up on this operation."

"The Wilderness has been very peaceful recently. Yan Xieyuan has already arranged a manager during his absence. Wait for Mu Jie to finish the theory exam and come over. There are several teams here at Eryu for you to command."

"In addition, 'Fool' will assist you."

"Fool", the Director of the Intelligence Department.

Dorota paused after hearing this. She put down the glass in her hand and stared at the special cocktail thoughtfully. She flipped her hand, and a blank card appeared in her palm. She threw it in a beautiful arc and slashed across the field of vision. "The Fool should have known that I am the White Crane."

The Fool loved to play with his strange and novel cards, and obtained a lot of intelligence from them. Not only that, his cards could also provide the solutions he needed and the corresponding success rate. Although the offensiveness was not that strong, it was enough for the director of the intelligence department who was behind the scenes.

He could even easily know the information related to the predators.

"When will he arrive?"

"She will go to pick him up after Youbai finishes his training."

Dorota nodded. Yu Bufeng must have heard about what happened in the recent match, but he knew Youbai and Makijie after all. Even if the false facade was torn, they were not the kind of people who would let their personal emotions affect their business.

"Do you want to ask about the match?" Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Dorota simply spoke first: "You should have thought of it. I deliberately exaggerated their emotional side."

A few short sentences confirmed his guess. Yu Bufeng sighed lightly. The young man put his fingers on the rim of the cup and lowered his eyes slightly. The indignant light flashed by. "I don't know how to evaluate it. I can only say that there are pros and cons. You know I won't stop you."

"I just remembered some past events."

Dorota did not stop the sudden change of topic. She understood that Yu Bufeng wanted to save something for You Bai. The meaning was insignificant, but it was undeniable that when his eyes that depicted the sunset garden stared at her, all his words lost the meaning of expressing.

"I just think her past has too many regrets."

Yu Bufeng tilted his head to look. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows showed him the low clouds and tall buildings without reservation. The high-strength alloy materials wrapped the buildings, like the blood and flesh of this area. The cold color is rooted here, but there is not a single bright color. The bizarre vertical screen advertisements and light billboards are exaggerated to the point of dazzling.

Those colors merged into his eyes.

Like stars in his eyes.

"You came to the fifteenth district from the imperial capital a few years ago. You picked up Mujie when 'Tracing the Origin' began to expand, and then you saved You Bai and cultivated her talent with great care."

"Everyone believes that 'Bai Yu' will be the next leader of Tracing the Origin, even I think so. Before you disappeared, you suddenly announced that 'Turquoise' is the only successor."

For You Bai, Mujie took away everything she cherished.

Or maybe, she just wanted to have someone to vent her emotions without hating the teacher.

"I know it's because of the words about the moon. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to say more, but I still think it's too cruel to her. At that time, I really hoped that you could come back and say a few words to that bewildered child, even if it's just a hug."

But he knew that she wouldn't.

In order to become the executive "Night Watcher", she cut off all ties with the past.

Including herself.

"This is just a story of nothing."

She heard him say this last.

Dorota avoided his sight. She lazily looked out the window and raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips. "But the garden she owns will always have surprises waiting for her, right?"

The garden she left for her hid a lot of things, letters, books, weapons, and supernatural props. The flowers planted were not just artificial flowers in bloom. From germination to withering, they will grow stubbornly next year. She hopes that she can live as vividly as before.

You Bai likes quietness. She will like this secret that belongs only to her.

The tenderness in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She shouldn't have such a feeling. Dorota and Yu Bufeng had different final destinations. She had to be more hard-hearted.

"It's almost night in the capital. I have to go to Zhuwang."

Dorota said, lying on the sofa ruthlessly, ignoring Yu Bufeng who was trying to create an atmosphere to persuade her to go downstairs. Before returning to Yongchen, she didn't forget to add: "By the way, don't let fools find me here."

But a fool may figure it out himself... Before Yu Bufeng could finish his words, Dorota had already closed her eyes. He could only watch helplessly and swallow the words back into his throat.

She closed her eyes without caring, waiting to cross the soft barrier and fall into silence, like drowning, until she completely lost her original consciousness.

"My lord."

The young man frowned in a daze. She opened her eyes, her vision blurred for a moment and then became clear again. When she raised her eyes lazily, she revealed some unrestrained murderous intent.

That look was terrifying. The young executive looked at it casually but said nothing. Yi Zi, who was standing behind the sofa, noticed the young man's annoyance. He leaned down and covered her eyes with his warm palms. The inverted cross earrings hidden in her hair swayed slightly because of his close breathing.

He stared at the people in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement, "You don't want to see blood, do you need me to take you somewhere else to solve it?"

Shouye closed his eyes and sorted out his emotions. She raised her hand to stop him, and Yi Zi obediently withdrew his hand. The cold and vicious mood seemed to have never existed. He was just innocent and didn't care.

It was dusk, and she had to reach the Zhuwang District before the foggy night came. Night was the time to clear out the looters. These people were Baskent's subordinates, and they came to invite her to go with them.

She had to go, but she didn't intend to show him mercy.

The night watchman glanced at them indifferently, and when he stood up, the figure of the young man and Yi Zi disappeared together, leaving only the remaining people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Long time no see, how is your health these days?"

She thought with a false greeting, and the strange and frightening cloudy pupils on her wrist stared coldly at Bishop Denis in front of her. The people standing behind him lowered their eyebrows and dared not raise their eyes, for fear of angering the unpredictable Eternal Day Executive.

But they were only respectful on the surface.

After all, this is the Observation District.

The night watchman ignored Babensken Denis, she walked past and pushed open the dazzling door, and the slender figure in the empty hall just finished praying and turned to look at her.

The painted window grilles were colorful, and the light of the setting sun shone through, illuminating the golden long hair that melted the warmth. He was wearing an intricate and exquisite son of God robe, with a gold-rimmed cross extending from the collar to the hem that spread out on the ground. The eye cloth on his face was painted with patterns of faith, holy and sad.

"You are here."

The son of God in the wheelchair spoke gently, and the night watchman silently glanced at the chains that tightened his thin wrists and ankles. With the blessing of heavy pressure, it was obviously the supernatural product of the plunderer.

The hypocritical bishop who claimed to be the savior of the world and the person behind him who provided support and cover-up, no one was more hateful than the other.

"It is an honor to meet you and retain the daylight to become an eternal existence."

This is the flattering words of praise from the Eternal Day after she took control of the real power.

The Eternal Daylight District was not the current District 3, but the "Eternal Night District" which was swapped with the current District 10. It was chaotic and disorderly, with fire and smoke that never stopped. It was filled with panic, crying and madness. It was the real Eternal Night.

The greedy Lord of Eternal Night turned a blind eye to this, and pursued the "unity" of the rules he recognized. Although the regulations accommodated the entire imperial capital, he always tolerated the main part of the black and gray areas that could bring huge profits.

The Eternal Night District has always been in darkness.

Later, the Night Watch came to power, and she issued a new decree to vigorously rectify it. The young executive made mistakes at the beginning, but it didn't matter. She brought the hope that people longed for.

As a new executive, the other executives initially had some complaints about her. After all, she was the leader of a rebel organization. The blood-soaked executive building and countless casualties in the melee in the imperial capital were all her doing.

If it weren't for Cecil's support and the tacit approval of the royal family, it would not have been easy for her to become an executive.

Afterwards, she gained the recognition of the Mi family as a help, and she really had a qualified trump card to support her foothold in the imperial capital.

The Eternal Night District was also renamed the Eternal Day District, and it became one of the top three most prosperous districts.

"The bishop probably didn't tell you about my body. I'm sorry for dirtying your eyes." His chaotic thoughts were interrupted by his gentle voice. The young man with unknown black hair still had no warmth in his eyes, as if he didn't care at all. He leaned over, and his cold white fingers brushed, leaving a delicate and tempting rose on the blanket on the Son of God's legs. What

he could touch was not something that could only be seen in books or outside the window.

The night watchman kept his eyes level with him, his eyes full of seriousness.

"Do you want to get a prosthesis?"

The Son of God was slightly stunned.

The bishop would not give him a prosthesis, and they would never let him have any chance to control his freedom.

He couldn't answer this question, because the answer was a fantasy to him.

Unless he escaped.

Countless dark eyes are watching them closely, with dark and malicious intentions. But it's not just them. "Gui Yi" is monitoring the entire imperial capital. If he wants, he can know everything that happens in every corner.

So this answer is destined to be unspeakable.

But they all know it.

...That's why he found her.

The Son of God's headache was cured after the night watch. When night fell, the thick fog dispersed with uneasiness. No one knew when the fog that only appeared in the dark and the weirdness it bred would disappear.

The only thing they could do was pray.

The looters in various districts also became active at this time.

Gray clouds drifted by, decorating the boundless sky with stars, like the bottom of the dark sea, but there was a faint light shining in, and the outlines of everything were not very clear at the deepest night.

The night watchman raised his eyes wearily, and then lowered them again for a moment, slightly covering the faint tear mole under his eyelids. The thin fingers held the lantern, and the light flickered, flickering in his eyes, reflecting the different color at the end of the black earring. The

bloody inverted cross is the tears flowing from the dry heart.

Dead silence like dry grass.

But it is also a star.

Next to the executive officer stood a young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Black liquid flowed across the ground and corroded the simulated plants. Tentacles extended from behind him, easily catching the monster and killing it on the spot. The monster turned sideways and stared at the person in his eyes.

As the fog became thicker and visibility was extremely low, her pupils seemed to be soaked by the fog. She pointed to a corner in the distance of an unknown direction, and touched a little coolness, "District 13, there, do you remember what happened?"

"Four years ago, Babens killed the deputy leader of the source, 'Gathering the Moon', and thus got the promise of 'Return to Oneness', and successfully became the ruler of the second district."

"He won the glory by stepping on the corpse of the Moon-Grabbing Man. I don't intend to let him die alone."

"No one who participated in that melee will escape."

Babensken was already the number one target on her list before the observer came.

The Eternal Day's executive turned around and looked at him, his beautiful eyes slightly curved, "You will be by my side to witness it, right?"

The answer was mixed in the sound of the wind.

The youth and the monster silently promised eternity.
