Chapter 253 What I Truly Want to Guard



Goodnight, world.

I'm going back to sleep.

After you wake up, you'll see Ning Feng.

Instead of meeting a strange woman who looks somewhat familiar...

"...Huh?"

Just as Shirin was about to fall asleep, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.

familiar?

This strange feeling caused Shirin's escapist tendencies to waver.

That's a bit strange.

As her consciousness gradually returned, Shirin could feel the gaze directed at her even with her eyes closed within her own domain.

Warm, gentle, and kind, yet there's a slight sense of distance, like an elder looking at an unfamiliar child.

This feeling...

This strange feeling left Xilin unsure of what to do or whether she should continue sleeping at this moment.

She wanted to open her eyes, but was afraid of seeing something terrible happen.

As Shirin struggled with whether to continue running away, she heard a calm voice.

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and his tone sounded very gentle, but his manner was unusually distant.

She said:

"Bincheng Branch Manager, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you regarding your resignation..."

? ? ?

Resignation letter?

What resignation letter?!

While still pondering, Shirin suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the stargazer in front of her in disbelief.

"You, you, you, you..."

Within the Watchers' organizational structure, the branch leaders stationed in various divisions are not considered minor figures.

To some extent, they are all guarding a spatial node. Even if some of them are not particularly strong, they are still nominally upper-level personnel.

As a branch leader with legendary strength, Shirin is definitely a high-ranking member of the Watchers' organization, even if she is not at the highest level.

By conventional standards, she is even qualified, or even obligated, to participate in many important decisions.

But she didn't.

It wasn't because she was ostracized by anyone, but because Shirin genuinely wasn't interested in such things.

Xilin took the initiative to choose the most enjoyable and relaxing way for her—staying at home and slacking off.

What could be better than being a salted fish?

If I had to say, there are some.

For example, paid time off to slack off!

In the pleasant climate of Bincheng, the unruly Xilin successfully transformed into a carefree and relaxed person.

Even before she became a leader, Shirin would complain about the despicable leadership and grumble about how they pushed all the messy things onto her.

But when Shirin herself became a leader, what she did... was equally inhumane.

She pushed all those troublesome tasks onto other people, like Yan Rulong, Xiao Yan, Commander Yan, and so on.

Meanwhile, he happily stayed in his room studying his alchemical potions.

They developed a new drug formula, kept the most important one as a secret weapon, and sold the rest to the Watchers in exchange for resources, thus achieving perpetual motion.

Shirin's life was so decadent... well, carefree.

For a legend, this is perfectly understandable, and even the Overwatch League is aware of it.

The strong have their own privileges, and not every legend likes to interact with others, which is understandable.

Xilin never hid her little tricks and wasn't afraid of others finding out.

So what if you know? What's it to you? Or are you trying to teach me how to do things?

But Shirin was still shocked, because the problem wasn't there!

The phrase "resignation application" deeply offended Shirin's sensitive nerves.

!

!

Question:

When the legendary branch manager, Shirin, submitted her "resignation" in protest, who had the authority to approve it?

A legend of the same rank?

No, not enough.

Even if there are Watchers dedicated to handling internal affairs, the appointment of a legendary-level division minister is not something they can handle from the outset.

Only those beings above the legendary level can handle these things.

A being that surpasses even legends.

There must be something beyond the legendary, and Shirin knew this perfectly well. She even knew that there was more than one such person in the Watchers alone.

But she had never actually met the Legendary One face to face; this was her first encounter with the Legendary One.

It's not that she didn't have the opportunity; she certainly had the qualifications. The only reason was that she was a homebody.

She's such a homebody.

They prefer to stay home and lie still rather than go out and socialize, adhering to the principle of "staying still if possible."

But coming back to the point, Shireen's shock at this moment was not the excitement of encountering a legend...

Her wide eyes gradually returned to normal, and Shirin came to her senses, gritting her teeth and looking at the stargazer with resentment.

OK!

So you're the one who gave me permission, right?

They jumped out on their own!

I was just protesting, how could you agree to it without any sense of morality?

You people are so mean, so mean.

Her resentful gaze was undisguised, and she even seemed to be pleading a little.

She felt a sense of security from the woman in front of her, who was undoubtedly a high-ranking official.

It was as if she had truly met an elder; the sense of peace in her heart made her unconsciously act in some unusual, childlike mannerisms.

With his light-colored eyes lowered, the stargazer deliberately avoided looking directly at Shirin.

The Stargazer shook his head at Shirin's cutesy act and said softly:

"Don't look at me like that. I mean you no harm. I just want to see you."
