Chapter 54 Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch!
Chapter 54 Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch!
The 'vacation' for Li Jie, Lin Qiye, and other new recruits is about to end.
Tonight, Chen Muyi also showed off his culinary skills by cooking a delicious meal for everyone.
At the dining table, Baili Pangpang, with eyes gleaming, shoveled food into his mouth while bickering with Shen Qingzhu.
"Hey bro, do you have to be so coy, like you're some kind of good boy?"
"You fatso, even food can't shut you up!"
Li Jie and Lin Qiye's eyes were full of smiles.
Chen Muyi and the other 'old folks' nodded knowingly as they watched the 'children' playing around.
..........
After dinner, Li Jie said that he needed to go out for a walk and get some fresh air after recovering from a serious illness.
Considering that there was no longer any threat in the city, Chen Muye agreed, only asking him to return on time.
Li Jie nodded and walked out the door, then waved to the little white mouse standing by the street, its eyes darting around.
The snow-white little beast nimbly ran to Li Jie's shoulder and affectionately rubbed against his neck.
"Lead the way."
"Squeak~ Squeak~ Squeak~"
The white mouse jumped off Li Jie's shoulder and ran forward, as if it knew that Li Jie was injured; it did not move very fast.
Gradually, it stopped at a sewer outlet far from the city center.
Is this the place...?
Li Jie looked around at the surrounding buildings. It seemed that there were few people around, and the sewers should have been abandoned.
An Qingyu is quite good at picking locations. Who would have thought that a genius 'secret thief' lived in an abandoned sewer?
He lifted the manhole cover and climbed down the somewhat rusty ladder next to it.
After walking through the long passageway.
A figure wearing a white coat appeared before Li Jie. From a distance, it seemed that he was still doing something on the experimental table.
"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon..."
After getting closer, An Qingyu spoke to Li Jie.
The latter nodded, looking around with some curiosity at the mysterious corpses preserved in formaldehyde.
Although not entirely complete, judging from the dissection techniques used, Anqingyu clearly cherishes these 'mysteries'.
"call....."
An Qingyu exhaled a breath of stale air, took off the surgical gloves in her hand, and disinfected them briefly.
He took two cans of soda from a bag in the supermarket next to him and handed one to Li Jie.
Wave~
"How is it? Not bad here, right?"
Upon hearing the question, Li Jie nodded.
Indeed, although An Qingyu lived in the sewers, the cleanliness of the main room was probably better than that of an average household.
Seeing the hazy gray in An Qingyu's eyes, Li Jie asked aloud.
"The Forbidden Ruins have fully awakened?"
"Yes, my forbidden ruin is the same as yours, it is also a forbidden ruin that has never appeared before."
I call it the "Only Correct Solution".
“Every time I dissect a ‘mysterious’ corpse, I gain the same ability.”
Li Jie wasn't surprised at all that An Qingyu knew he possessed abilities he'd never seen before, given that her true identity was the "Key to the Gate."
"So, what's the reason you want to meet with me after this incident is resolved?"
"It's very simple, I just want to dissect you."
I really want to know... your secret...
It's unbelievable that someone with only a cultivation level around the 'Pool' realm could severely injure someone at the 'Sea' realm...
Just bear with it...it'll be over soon!
An Qingyu looked at Li Jie seriously, the gray light in her eyes growing stronger.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and gradually, they both smiled.
Li Jie knew that An Qingyu might genuinely want to dissect him to replicate his abilities, but...
Can his abilities really be replicated?
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."
Hearing Li Jie reject her, An Qingyu blinked in disappointment, the gray light in her eyes fading away.
Looking at An Qingyu who had returned to normal, Li Jie asked.
"Are you just going to stay in the sewers the whole time?"
“No, sometimes I also go out to buy necessities, like this,” An Qingyu replied to Li Jie, waving the can in her hand.
"Have you ever considered returning to a life in the sunlight? Perhaps joining the Night's Watch?"
Hearing this, An Qingyu chuckled and shook her head.
"It's not time yet. Alright, it's almost time, you should go back now."
Li Jie nodded. After all, he was currently a "seriously injured" person, and if he stayed out for too long, the captain would become suspicious.
"One last thing, be careful of that 'Snake Woman' from the 'Church of the Ancient Gods.' She's not really dead; you only destroyed her physical body."
Just as her soul was about to dissipate, something mysterious rescued her.
Li Jie, who was walking out, turned around in surprise when he heard what An Qingyu said.
"Aren't you truth-seeking lunatics supposed to be the most scientific? How come you can see souls being taken away by unknown objects?"
An Qingyu smiled slightly.
"It's none of your business..."
.........
On his way back to the base, Li Jie kept thinking about the "Snake Woman" issue.
Logically speaking, his sword strike had injured Han Shaoyun, who was at the 'Sea' realm.
The snake woman in the 'pool' realm should be dead beyond any doubt...
How could she have been rescued?
Forget it... if she dares to come back... I'll just kill her again...
........
That night.
Li Jie, Lin Qiye, and the others boarded the bus back to camp.
The members of Squad 136 waved goodbye at the entrance of the Peace Agency.
"Li Jie, you're still injured. Take good care of yourself when you get back to camp."
"Alright, Captain, stop getting emotional. That brat knows what he's doing."
"......"
Watching the bus drive away, the members of Team 136 felt a sense of loss.
The next time we meet, they should be true members of the Night's Watch...
.......
In the training camp, in the secret meeting room.
Yuan Gang paced anxiously back and forth, clutching his phone tightly, as if waiting for something.
Jingle bell bell~
The phone rang, and he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Captain, how's it going?"
"It's settled. Just wait, the commander will be there soon, but..."
If you don't have anything urgent to do...
When we get back, we'll both go get a beating from the commander!
"......"
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Gang breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows how much pressure he was under.
Although Yuan Gang is the head instructor of this training camp.
However, his true identity is merely the deputy captain of the night watchmen in the capital city.
Because of the "mole" incident in the training camp, he is now afraid to speak carelessly, let alone send emails or make phone calls.
After all, he didn't know if his screening was truly thorough.
If he wanted to safely send out Li Jie's message, it seemed that he had no other way but to have the Commander-in-Chief come in person.
As he prepared to sit down and rest for a while.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose inside the room, and a dignified man in a black cloak appeared before Yuan Gang.
He was stunned when he saw the familiar face in front of him.
The captain's "a little while" really meant "a little while"!!
That's right, the man in the black cloak is the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch.
Ye Fan!
