LGHTNOVELBOOK 33: The Leave-Taking Maniac
Every Night Watcher possesses extraordinary skills.
The reason Radiant Sun level Night Watchers can become the main assault force is that they have abilities surpassing other Night Watchers. Any one of them could potentially reverse a dangerous situation, serving as pillars within the Night Watchers.
However, not all Radiant Sun level Night Watchers work diligently like Xiao Jin.
Take Wang Chao, for instance. This guy is never serious all day, not wanting to act earnestly until critical moments, always wearing an expression of indifference no matter what.
Then there’s a certain extreme case who takes leave for months at a time, saying not to bother him unless it’s a big deal, and that using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken is overkill for small matters.
Just thinking about it makes one’s blood pressure rise.
However, Xiao Jin can still tolerate it. After all, which capable person doesn’t have some quirks?
As long as they can be utilized by the Night Watchers, it’s fine.
Now that this leave-taking maniac suddenly contacted him, Xiao Jin took it very seriously.
He had a deep impression of this colleague, a strange person who always maintained a smile. He seemed to be a Night Watcher out of interest, wouldn’t communicate with others over trivial matters, and only did things he felt were meaningful, with a very mysterious style of operation.
It seems the matter of the “Wishing Machine” has piqued his interest.
“What suggestions do you have? Just say it directly.”
“Ah, just don’t deliberately try to control her. That little one is very sensitive. Why not let her act on her own? Let her go home if she wants to go home, come to the Night Watchers’ base if she wants to come. There’s no need for multiple safeguards, just leave it be.”
“Are you serious? This is a super-grade Star. If an accident occurs, it’s not something you or I can bear.” Xiao Jin frowned.
“Isn’t she under your watch at the Night Watchers’ base? As for when she’s at home, I’ll keep an eye on her. Nothing will happen, trust me.”
“You… You didn’t start acting the moment the super-grade Star was born, did you?”
“More or less.”
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“You didn’t ask. I was on leave anyway, so I just went with the flow.”
“Damn! If you come back to the Night Watchers’ base, you’re in for it.” Xiao Jin’s blood pressure rose again.
He was certain this guy was definitely doing it on purpose, exceptionally good at irritating people.
“Talking about these things hurts our relationship. Why not consider my suggestion?”
Xiao Jin pondered briefly.
“Can you guarantee it?”
“I can’t, but it’s much more reliable than you guys trying to control her deliberately. Just seal the intelligence, have those who know keep the secret, act as if nothing happened, and there definitely won’t be any problems.”
“I’ll consider it.”
Then the communication was cut off.
When Xiao Jin returned to the scene, a silver-gray-haired man was talking with Ye Lan.
It was the “parachuted” old uncle Bai Yuan.
Making someone who originally died in the past come back to life in this era is the most terrifying aspect.
If certain ill-intentioned individuals were to find out, Ye Lan probably wouldn’t live peacefully.
So even if that guy didn’t say it, Xiao Jin would seal the news and not let the information leak out.
Ye Lan was now chatting with Bai Yuan, looking somewhat nervous.
“Uncle Bai Yuan…”
To be honest, when they first met, Ye Lan almost didn’t recognize him.
After all, Bai Yuan used to be a very handsome mature youth, but now he had become an old uncle with stubble. It’s quite normal to have some sense of hierarchy.
Bai Yuan patted Ye Lan’s head, looking at her with very kind eyes, and said gently, “No need to be so nervous. You’re my daughter’s friend. Not only did you restore Bai Yu’s health, but you also saved my life. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me. I’ll help you solve them. After all, you’re our lifesaver.”
“No need to be so polite…”
Then Ye Lan thought of Ye Qingya leaving with satisfaction, and suddenly felt a bit sad.
She was the first person who made her feel motherly love.
It was very warm.
She felt it most deeply when it resided in Bai Yu and Bai Tu.
How nice it would be if she had such a mother.
At this moment, Xiao Jin walked over and said somewhat seriously, “Ye Lan, because this matter is very important, you must not casually disclose your ability to others. Once you become a Night Watcher, this is no longer just your secret, but a state secret. Do you understand?”
“I… I understand.”
“You possess the super-grade Star ‘Wishing Machine’. Don’t use your ability casually, otherwise, it’s very likely to cause great chaos and irreparable losses. I hope you can control yourself well.”
“Um… huh?”
Ye Lan was a bit confused. Was she that powerful?
Thinking about it now, it does seem quite powerful!
“We Night Watchers will keep this secret and won’t arbitrarily restrict your freedom of movement. But if you notice any abnormalities in yourself, you must notify us. This is my order to you.”
Although Ye Lan looked like an underage little loli, Xiao Jin wouldn’t treat her like a child.
Ye Lan hurriedly agreed, “Yes! Boss!”
“Considering you’re not familiar with your ability, lack practical experience, and are too young, I won’t assign you any heavy tasks. But you need to learn a lot of knowledge and master your Star as soon as possible. This is the most important thing, and only you can do it.”
“Understood, Boss!”
“You can go now.”
“Goodbye, Boss!”
Then Ye Lan turned and left, looking relaxed as if leaving a terrifying prison cell.
Bai Yuan stood beside Xiao Jin, maintaining a gentle smile.
Xiao Jin watched Ye Lan’s departing figure, lost in thought.
“By the way, why does she call me Boss?”
Bai Yuan joked, “Perhaps you look like a capitalist.”
Wang Chao came over, stroking his chin.
“That little one is quite interesting. We should get along well.”
“Don’t go teaching kids bad things.” Xiao Jin glanced at him, then suddenly remembered something.
“Wait, I feel like I’ve overlooked something. Who’s that silver-haired girl who looks almost identical to her?”
Distracted by that leave-taking maniac, Xiao Jin had ignored these details.
Wang Chao shrugged and also turned to leave.
“Maybe they’re twin sisters. Who knows if it’s part of the Star’s effect.”
“It shouldn’t be a big problem. We’ll ask next time we meet.”
Then Xiao Jin began the confidentiality work.
Those who know about this should only be the Night Watchers who acted with him at that time.
They were all veteran Night Watchers. Some have retired, some have been transferred to other cities, and some remain in Yunzhang City. It’s easy to contact them.
……
As soon as Ye Lan left that place, she saw Bai Yu and Bai Tu waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing Ye Lan come out, both of them walked over.
“Ye Lan, nothing serious, right?”
Ye Lan scratched her head, “Doesn’t seem like it. Seems they just want me to behave.”
Bai Tu didn’t know what to say, with an expression of having something to say but holding back.
“Um… Ye Lan, thank you.”
“Oh, no need to thank me. I’ve said this is what I should do.”
“I still feel a bit uneasy.”
“Hmm…”
Ye Lan nodded pensively. She couldn’t say something like offering herself in return, right?
“Then how about you take care of my afternoon tea and snacks from now on? How’s that?”
“Alright.”
She agreed without hesitation.
