It can only be said that only part of the task was accomplished, and the task evaluation was not high.
Having discussed the various difficulties and drawbacks of mandatory tasks, does this universally resented and hated thing really have no redeeming qualities at all?
Yes, there are.
Reassuringly, the rewards for mandatory tasks are tailored to the same requirements as the tasks themselves!
It could be a weapon, a bottle of medicine, a treasure map, or even just a clue in a sentence.
The differences are also significant, but these rewards all share a common characteristic.
That is, at some point in the future, it will be of great help to the recipient.
It's like having a prophet.
This magical characteristic makes the mandatory quests even more mysterious in the minds of the Watchers.
Mysterious and unpredictable.
There are many explanations for the existence of mandatory tasks, with conflicting opinions that may be true or false.
Of those, Ning Feng felt the most reliable explanation was—
The eye of observation is adjusting the balance.
By assigning tasks, it seems that something is being tried to be balanced between rewards and punishments.
No one knows the specifics, but the feeling that everything was arranged so clearly makes it seem both unfathomable and somewhat unsettling.
An hour has passed since he received the notification, and Ning Feng remains seated at the table, frowning as he ponders the situation.
"Tsk."
Ning Feng did not resist accepting the mission itself.
He was also a tool produced through rigorous training, and he had no complaints about carrying out his tasks.
Ning Feng understood what he was fighting for and how many people his actions could save, and he accepted it.
The mandatory mission is a necessary part of being a Watcher; no one can escape it, not even Shirin can help him.
It's just a mission for the Watchers.
The feeling of being directed was extremely strong.
This feeling made Ning Feng somewhat uncomfortable.
He swung down forcefully, but his fist stopped just before hitting the table, and finally just lightly slammed down.
winter.
Throwing and smashing things is not the way to solve problems; it only creates noise and waste and serves no purpose.
"how so?"
Ning Feng thought he had nothing to do with the "Star Chaser" competition anymore.
He ignored the swordsman's invitation, rejected Sophie's invitation, and even ignored Shirin's invitation to attend the ceremony...
Everything was arranged perfectly, but who knew that this kind of deus ex machina would suddenly happen at this time.
It was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything, pulling Ning Feng back from the brink of derailment.
"A coincidence? No, I don't believe it."
Is it really such a coincidence?
Who doesn't want me to spend these days peacefully?
Dongdong.
Ning Feng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, beginning to consider the worst-case scenario.
Why don't you want me to stay here peacefully?
What good would it do him to take this risk?
No, before that...
Ning Feng's brows furrowed even more as he tapped his fingers faster.
How did he know I had chosen to give up?
A pause in the fingertips.
"...Has someone been watching me the whole time?"
A chill began to creep down my spine, and a sense of unease that had been lingering in my mind suddenly surfaced.
Who could it be?
Start by searching from the identity of the Watchers, from the identity of the Swordsman... and so on!
[The Swordholder]
"The ones who truly know my identity as the swordsman are... the One-Eyed Judge, Number 86, and Aiger."
"Of these three, Iger doesn't know my specific identity as a Watcher, so we can ignore him for now."
“Number 86 knows my true identity, and should even be able to guess a little about the identity of the swordsman, but he has made a vow and cannot tell outsiders…”
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Ning Feng recalled the adjudicator who wore a mask with one eye as proof.
Mysterious, even Ning Feng's true form could only sense his unfathomable depth in his presence.
"Could it be him? But what's his reason for spying on me?"
Is it just because of that "Words of Judgment"?
And now there's another problem.
When did he start watching, and how much did he watch?
The thought of it is terrifying.
"Even now, is it still there?"
With his eyes closed, Ning Feng tried to sense a possible gaze.
Sensing...
With the succubus's and angel's senses overlapping, Ning Feng searched with all his might...
He actually noticed a gaze!
However, it came from the shadow beneath his feet...
Ning Feng: ...Who are you?
A clear, bell-like laugh rang out, echoing in Ning Feng's heart, and his vision instantly turned into deep darkness.
The darkness was not frightening; instead, it brought a long-lost warmth and tranquility.
In this tranquil setting, a black cat with magnificent fur sat upright, smiling and waving at Ning Feng.
"Go."
While Ning Feng was in a daze, the black cat smiled and repeated:
"Go and participate, young man."
Hehehe~
Smiling, the black cat jumped to his side and patted the back of his hand with its front paw.
"By the way, you've been doing really well lately, I have high hopes for you!"
Card!
The darkness shattered, but Ning Feng remained rooted to the spot, as if everything he had just witnessed was merely an illusion.
"…………"
Looking down at the small plum blossom marks remaining on the back of his hand, Ning Feng's expression twitched.
After a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence:
"You fucking..."
Is it asleep, or is it awake and spying?
Ning Feng stomped his foot at his shadow, genuinely wanting to curse.
Hey!
Don't log off!
Let's come out and fight!
What would you do?
A phantom of light and shadow appeared behind them, and an angel in a white dress appeared silently, calmly looking at Ning Feng, who seemed exasperated, and asked:
Should we take her advice?
