LGHTNOVELBOOK 32: Handling and Arrangements
“Enough… enough~”
In the end, Ye Lan couldn’t withstand Bai Yu’s nuzzling and cuddling, and the next second, she pushed her away with a flushed face.
Men and women should maintain proper distance… ah, no, that’s not right.
Which cadre could withstand these tests?
This was different from cuddling herself; without confidence, it was still very unsettling.
“Bai Yu, you…”
“Hehe~ My body has fully recovered now.”
“Really? How did it get better?” Ye Lan was a bit curious.
“Hmm~ What do you think?”
Bai Yu hugged Ye Lan again, becoming increasingly intimate with her.
At this moment, someone walked in from outside. It was Bai Tu, who had just returned after tidying up her appearance.
Upon seeing Ye Lan, Bai Tu’s gaze became extremely gentle.
She had thought about exhausting all efforts to find hope, but never expected hope to unknowingly arrive by her side.
How should she put it?
But she also brought news at the same time.
“Ye Lan, our boss wants to see you.”
“Boss? You mean the manager?” Ye Lan, who was about to push away the clingy Bai Yu, froze, not quite reacting.
“Yes, your Star seems to be a bit overpowered.”
“Overpowered?”
Ye Lan couldn’t understand how running away quickly could be considered overpowered.
Seeing Ye Lan looking a bit dumbfounded, Bai Tu reminded her.
“Didn’t you go back to the past and change history? At the last moment, you brought Bai Yu to mom’s side, letting mom restore Bai Yu’s health. It’s quite impressive.”
“Eh!?”
Ye Lan’s small mouth gaped open, instantly shocked.
“So yesterday wasn’t a dream? I thought I was just groggy from sleeping! I can’t believe it was real…”
Come to think of it, she seemed to have scolded a bunch of bigwigs too.
Saying something like “despicable Night Watchers doing all sorts of evil”, would that offend them?
If they were to give her a hard time and bully her in the workplace, she wouldn’t be able to stay!
“I need to run away quickly!”
“Why?”
Ye Lan poked her fingers, feeling a bit guilty.
“Because I think I scolded a group of seniors, and I’m a bit scared.”
“Don’t worry, I think they won’t mind. Night Watchers are generally very tolerant of their colleagues.”
“Really?” Ye Lan’s eyes lit up, regaining hope.
Bai Tu pondered for a few seconds.
“Probably.”
……
Then Ye Lan was brought to a place by Bai Tu.
There were quite a few people here, about a dozen or so.
“Umm…”
Being stared at by these dozen or so strangers, Ye Lan felt a bit timid, not daring to say a word.
Xiao Jin walked forward and asked friendly, “Your name is Ye Lan, right?”
“Yes, are you the boss?”
Ye Lan didn’t have much impression of this uncle, who didn’t look bad.
At this moment, another person approached, seeming to be a mature youth.
“Hey, little one, do you remember me?” Wang Chao wore an interested smile, like a kidnapper trying to lure children.
“Hmm?”
Ye Lan had no impression of this youth either, and even wanted to say, “Who the f*ck are you?”
Seeing Ye Lan’s bewildered look, Wang Chao grinned and couldn’t help but remind her.
“Aha, looks like you don’t remember. Let me remind you, I’m one of those Night Watchers you scolded for doing all sorts of evil. How about it? Remember now?”
“Eh? I’m sorry!”
Still no impression.
But in any case, it’s better to apologize first.
However, Wang Chao shook his head nonchalantly.
“It’s not a big deal. I even think you scolded us quite well. Later, you should be more confident and not afraid of those guys. If anyone targets you, just go ‘ah yes yes yes’ and play it cool, can’t go wrong.”
“Ah yes yes yes?”
“Ah yes yes yes, just like that.”
Xiao Jin’s mouth twitched as he watched Wang Chao seriously teaching a child bad habits, almost unable to resist giving him a kick.
This was no Radiant Sun Night Watcher, just a jerk.
“Ahem.”
Xiao Jin deliberately coughed, and Wang Chao also retracted his playful attitude.
After all, this matter was still very important, and jokes should be made in moderation.
“Ye Lan, have a seat. What would you like to drink?”
“Um… can I have black tea?”
“Certainly.”
Then Xiao Jin had someone bring up a cup of black tea.
Ye Lan sipped it little by little, feeling a bit nervous inside.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous, after all, she seemed to have done something terrible.
“Um… may I ask why you called me here today?”
“It’s about your Star. Until now, we Night Watchers have never encountered this kind of Star. Can you tell me how you did it?”
Ye Lan knew Xiao Jin was asking about the “dream” incident.
Was that traveling back to the past?
“I don’t know either. I just simply fell asleep and inexplicably appeared in that place.”
“Then, please describe the situation at that time in detail.”
“Um… it was like this.”
Ye Lan briefly recounted how she observed the entire event, only being able to intervene at the end, and then waking up in bed afterwards, feeling very tired and groggy, which made her think she had just had a very vivid dream.
After listening, Xiao Jin pondered for a while.
“What are the conditions for use? That is, the prerequisite for activating the Star. Did you do anything special beforehand?”
“Hmm… oh right, I heard about the ‘Wishing Machine’ from Senior Bai Tu, so I thought, if I were a wishing machine, I would definitely help Bai Yu fulfill her wish. I guess it was something like that…”
Wishing Machine?!
When the people present heard this term, their eyes immediately widened.
How could they not know the significance of this term?
That was a super-grade Star confirmed by the Star-Knower, capable of reaching the Supernova level, with unimaginable danger.
Could it be that the little girl before them was the vessel for that Star?
At this moment, everyone’s eyes became heated.
They had been thinking about spending a lot of resources without guaranteeing they could find it, but unexpectedly, the target was right in front of them, and even voluntarily came to their doorstep.
Xiao Jin also analyzed from the memories in his mind how absurd the effect of the “Wishing Machine” was. Once out of control, it could be another kind of disaster.
However, looking at Ye Lan’s innocent expression… it seemed there was no need to worry, probably.
The more powerful the ability, the higher the uncertainty, and the greater the risk to be borne.
According to the Night Watchers’ previous rules, once discovered, they would contain and control, similar to recruiting and pacifying, and multiple safeguards would need to be implemented.
But now Ye Lan had already joined the Night Watchers, so how should they arrange for her next?
For a super-grade Star at the Supernova level, the Night Watchers had no experience in handling it, though they had plenty of experience dealing with Supernova Star Eclipses.
Just as Xiao Jin was deep in thought and troubled, his communicator rang.
Xiao Jin glanced at it and saw it was a Radiant Sun level Night Watcher who had been on leave for a long time, a rather troublesome fellow.
“I’ll step away for a moment.”
Xiao Jin walked to the side to answer the call.
“Hey, what is it? Make it quick.”
“I’m saying, are you guys struggling with how to arrange for that little girl with the super-grade Star?”
“You knew about this already?”
Thinking about this guy’s ability, Xiao Jin quickly guessed something and his mouth twitched.
“Don’t mind the details. How about listening to my suggestion?”
