Chapter 526: To the Eternal Night

In a room.

The wall was filled with wanted posters that had just been brought in.

"Is it this one?"

"No, this wanted criminal is so ugly."

"Then is it this one?"

"Not really."

"Who is he? Why can’t we find him even after looking through all the wanted lists? "

"Maybe it’s someone who just died and we happened to run into them."

"Sigh, I thought we could make a fortune, but who knew it was a newbie."

Several members of the team discussed enthusiastically.

The captain of the team finally spoke.

"Forget it, I’ll look after him. You guys go and complete today’s harvesting mission."

"Boss? You’re looking after him personally? "One of the team members asked in surprise.

"Yes, you guys have seen too little of the world. I’m worried that if he wakes up and something happens, you guys won’t be able to handle it."

The captain moved a chair over and sat down in front of the bed. He loaded the gun and placed it across his legs. Then, he placed the two daggers on the outside of his thighs. He also grabbed a few grenades and hung them on his waist.

— — he looked like he was facing a great enemy.

On the bed.

Liu Ping was still unconscious.

This young man — —

Did he need to make such a big fuss?

A few of the team members looked at him, and then looked at the determined and courageous captain.

Maybe ...

Maybe at a time like this, they really needed the captain to hold the fort.

"Alright then, let’s hurry up and finish today’s harvesting mission." The team members said.

"Go." The captain waved his hand.

The team members pushed the door open and went out.

The captain sat on the chair and waited for a while.

Only when the roar of the car outside gradually faded away did he take out a lighter.

Pa!

The flame lit a cigarette.

The captain’s voice sounded.

"Harvesting is so tiring, it’s not as comfortable as smoking and sleeping here."

He blew out a smoke ring, slumped on the chair, crossed his legs, and hummed a song.

He had already put the gun on the ground.

After a while.

An inexplicable sound came from the room.

The captain had already smoked a cigarette and was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed. However, he was awakened by the sound.

He rubbed his eyes and stood up, looking around.

The young man on the bed was still unconscious.

Everything was normal in the room.

Where did the sound come from?

He went to the kitchen to take a look.

Drip.

Drip.

The tap was not turned off properly.

The captain smiled and shook his head. He turned on the faucet, walked back to the bed, and sat down comfortably on the chair.

A voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

"Hello!"

The captain was so scared that his whole body trembled, and his soul almost jumped out of his body.

— — At some point, a person wearing a greyhound mask appeared beside him.

The captain hurriedly picked up the gun on the ground. Just as he was about to scold them, he saw the man in the greyhound mask touch the gun.

The entire gun suddenly turned into parts and fell to the ground with clanking sounds.

The captain wanted to pull out the dagger again, but this time, his hand was held down and he couldn’t move at all.

"There’s no need to panic. I’m here to thank you. After all, you’ve been guarding him all this time."

The man in the greyhound mask said politely.

The captain came back to his senses and asked in bewilderment, "Who are you?"

The man didn’t look at him anymore. He walked back and forth in the room with his back against the wall.

"There’s no need to ask. When he wakes up, you can make a request of him. Remember, he’s the richest guy."

"Then right now — — -" the captain couldn’t help but ask.

"Right now, you just need to stay here and guard him. I’m going to take care of something first — — - I promise you, normal people can no longer enter this house. Only his friends can, so all you need to do is stay here and watch over him."

After saying so, the man in the greyhound mask took a step forward and disappeared without a trace.

The captain was stunned.

That man — — -

He walked into the void of space and disappeared without a trace!

Is he a ghost or what?

Wait a minute!

Isn’t this Eternal Night?

Although we’re both ghosts, I can’t do something like that!

He recalled how the man walked around the wall just now, then connected the dots with what he said. He seemed to have understood something.

He walked up to the window and opened the curtains to look outside.

Outside was nothing but emptiness.

— — -No camp, no village, no trees, no Mechs, no people, only a boundless emptiness.

The cold sweat on the captain’s back was almost dripping down his pants.

He took a few steps back, staggered back into his chair, lit a cigarette with shaky hands, took a few deep breaths, then muttered in a daze:

"Calm down, old Yang, you’re the captain, someone who’s been through a lot."

After taking a few deep breaths of the cigarette, the captain finally calmed down.

— — -That man said that I can make a request.

In other words, it’s actually a good thing for me to watch over this young man.

No need to worry.

That’s right.

That’s how it is.

But a lot of vicious people will also pretend to be friendly before they kill someone, this is to make the other party lower their guard.

At the thought of this, the captain felt his stomach churn, and his entire body convulsed.

Oong — — oong — — -

Another inexplicable noise came from inside the room.

— — -An indiscernible noise came from an unknown place.

The captain sat stiffly on his chair, finished his cigarette, then lit another one. After taking two deep breaths, the noise became even louder, to the point where he couldn’t pretend to not hear it anymore.

The captain couldn’t sit still anymore.

There really was noise coming from inside the room, there was no doubt about that.

The captain stood up and walked around the room twice, checked the kitchen, the toilet, even the ceiling beams.

But he still couldn’t find the source of the noise.

While wiping his sweat, the captain walked back and sat down on the chair again.

"I should’ve gone to complete the harvesting mission — — - I swear, if there’s a next time, I’ll definitely take the lead."

"If I can’t do it, let my head be chopped of.f"

As soon as he said that, the void of space moved.

A bronze gleam landed on the ground in front of him, giving off a ’thud’ sound.

A Blade!

A Blade really did come!

The bronze saber was firmly inserted in front of him. It seemed that because of the momentum, the saber’s hilt was still swaying.

— — -As if it was going to cut him down.

The captain was scared to the point of pissing himself.

But before he could do anything, he heard a ’sha’ in the air.

A blood-colored Blade came through the void of space, lightly inserted itself next to the bronze Blade and lined up next to it.

"Brother Blade!"

The captain slid down from the chair and knelt on the ground. He bowed and said, "Brothers, I’m talking about next time. Next time, I’ll definitely go and pick them. Besides, you don’t need two sabers to kill me. One is enough!"

The two Blades slowly stopped, no longer moving.

The captain didn’t know if he should continue kneeling or stand up.

For safety’s sake, he decided to continue kneeling.

The room returned to silence.

But unlike before, the captain wasn’t as comfortable and relaxed as before.

Time slowly passed.

For some reason, the tap in the kitchen began to drip again.

The captain continued kneeling on the ground, sneaking a glance at the two Blades.

The Blades weren’t moving.

He hesitated a bit and was about to stand up when he heard a female voice coming from the window:

"Strange, you were still kneeling, so why did you stand up?"

The captain froze, then slowly turned around.

A snow-white cat had just entered the room with a book in its mouth, using its long tail to fiddle with the lock of the window.

Clack!

The window closed.

The white cat was still tilting its head, curiously observing him, as if waiting for an answer.

The room went silent.

The captain once again knelt down, forcing a smile: "I’ll keep kneeling, keep kneeling."

"But why did you have to kneel for his Blades?" the white cat continued to ask.

The captain took a deep breath, not daring to say that he was lazy and didn’t pick them, so he simply said: "I hope — — this young man will get better soon."

— — -who knows where this cat came from, I definitely can’t tell the truth.

What if it really wants to cut me with the Blades on a whim?

The white cat finally regained its senses.

"Ah, that’s right."

It hurriedly jumped forward, landed on the edge of the bed, put the book in its mouth on the headboard, and patted it with its paw.

The book opened.

A beautiful woman wearing a rainbow-colored feather dress flew out, landing in the middle of the room in an instant.

She held a sword in her hand, lowered her eyes, exuding a solemn aura as she shouted:

"Sword array, protect!"

Boundless sword qi radiated from her body, manifesting into sword images out of thin air, then disappeared into the void of space.

Another beautiful woman silently appeared, sitting in front of the bed.

She raised her slender finger, lightly touched the young man’s forehead, then closed her eyes: "It’s fine ... he’s only unconscious ..."

A warm and gentle glow radiated from her body, causing the entire room to become as warm as spring.

The captain was a bit stunned.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder.

The captain turned around, only to see another blonde woman standing next to him.

This woman looked exactly the same as the woman sitting on the bed.

"How did you find him? Don’t lie, otherwise you won’t have a good ending. "the woman softly asked.

The captain’s heart inexplicably trembled, then quickly told her everything, including the greyhound masked man from before.

Everyone in the room silently listened.

"Greyhound? He’s a comrade in the same group as him, I know him, "the beautiful woman sitting on the bed said.

"Seems like he’s safe." the sword-wielding woman said.

As soon as she said that, the solemn aura in the room disappeared.

"No need to kneel, his Blade doesn’t randomly kill people." The woman patted the captain’s shoulder again.

"Okay, okay."

The captain smiled and slowly stood up, not knowing where to stand, his expression was one of helplessness.

The woman sitting on the bed gently spoke: "It’s fine, no need to worry. You saved him, just like the greyhound said, he will definitely repay you later on."

"Thank you, thank you — — right, do you want some tea? I’ll go boil some water in the kitchen. "the captain said.

He hurriedly went into the kitchen and slowly exhaled.

— — -Their presence is too terrifying, just by standing in front of them, I can’t help but want to bow down and worship them.

— — -What kind of existences are they!

Boil water, boil water, don’t think too much about it.

The captain silently chanted and began to fill the kettle with water.

Inside the room.

The white cat jumped onto the pillow and carefully sniffed the young man’s face.

When she noticed that all three women were looking at her, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"When will he wake up?"

The white cat asked and wanted to sniff the young man again.

The woman sitting on the side grabbed her by the neck and pulled her down from the pillow: "I’m currently infusing him with spiritual power, don’t cause trouble here."

She held the struggling cat in one hand, while her other hand was giving off a holy glow that was slowly infused into the young man’s forehead.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The young man didn’t wake up.

The door rang.

— — -Someone was knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" the sword-wielding woman stood in front of the bed and asked.

"Old friend"

A young voice came from outside the door.
