Chapter 71: News about the Secret Realm? She must join the Night’s Watch!
Inside the temporary hospital room.
Lian Yiqing was panting lightly, her eyes spinning back rapidly, returning to their normal appearance.
Opposite her, Song Zhaoyu appeared even more fatigued.
She completely collapsed on the couch, drenched in sweat.
There were strands of hair sticking to her forehead, her eyes tightly shut, and beads of sweat on her nose.
Her cherry lips trembled slightly, as if going through a nightmare.
Taking a deep breath, Lian Yiqing stood up and opened the door.
Waiting outside, Zhao Yunxiao quickly approached, asking, “How was it?” Lian Yiqing nodded and replied, “There is no issue.”
“This little girl has passed my soul test. It is indeed her, and I didn’t find any signs of possession.” “That’s great!”
“But… ”
Lian Yiqing interrupted Zhao Yunxiao, “In the depths of this girl’s soul, I detected some memory fragments that do not belong to her.”
“They’re few and chaotic, unable to affect her.”
“I guess it may be related to her profession, initial skills.”
“Absorbing the soul of a creature, and thus gaining its deepest memories.” “Take care of this matter…
“Absorbing the soul of a creature, and getting its profound memories?”
Zhao Yunxiao repeated, her eyes flickering, “You mean the remaining memories of the Black Sun Master?”
“What?”
“Nothing. ”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “Thank you, Yiqing. After this matter is settled, I’ll invite you…”
“I’ll invite you.”
Lian Yiqing interrupted Zhao Yunxiao’s words, “I know about Chicheng, don’t worry, we’ll take care of ourselves.”
“As for you, don’t overwork yourself.”
Zhao Feng also came over and said, “Yunxiao, we’ll take our leave first, we also have a mission.”
“If anything comes up, contact me by phone.”
“We will be in Qinzhou Province this whole month, you can contact us anytime.”
“Okay.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
After seeing off the others, Zhao Yunxiao returned to the temporary hospital.
“Sister Yunxiao!”
Yao Zhixue and Zheng Cheng greeted her as she approached, and Zheng Cheng also gestured a greeting.
“You are here too… Come in.”
Zhao Yunxiao led the two in, and instructed, “I’ll make a phone call first, you can sit here for a while.’
“Okay, Sister Yunxiao.”
Zhao Yunxiao went to her office and dialed a number for Director Shen Nanfeng.
“Hello Director, the review is complete, it’s Song Zhaoyu.”
“That’s wonderful. “However… ”
“However, what?”
“According to Yiqing, Song Zhaoyu’s mind still retains the memory of the Black Sun Master.” Zhao Yunxiao said, “I’m worried that if we let her go, there might be an accident.”
“Accident?” Director Shen Nanfeng asked curiously, “Do you mean…”
“Although the Black Sun Master has fallen, the Black Sun Church she created still exists, and there is still quite a number of believers remaining in secret.”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “If Song Zhaoyu is released and is somehow found by other
Black Sun Church believers…”
“Your concerns are valid.” After a pause, Director Shen Nanfeng said, “What’s your solution?”
“Let her join our Night Watchmen!”
Zhao Yunxiao asserted word by word, “And she must join!”
“For her safety, but also for the entire country, we cannot let her wander outside!”
The other end of the phone fell silent for a few seconds before Director Shen
Nanfeng’s voice came again: “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you.” “But you must guide her well. Don’t make her feel we’re coercing her, understand?”
Zhao Yunxiao frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, “I understand, Director.”
“Additionally, about the secret realm that Meng Fusheng discovered, do you want to explore it now?”
Shen Nanfeng said, “We should! The matter of the secret realm can’t be concealed for long. Since it was discovered by our Night Watchmen, we should be the one to take charge.”
“Although it’s just a low-level secret realm, if successfully raided, it can yield numerous spirit items.”
“I see.” Zhao Yunxiao continued, “So far we have Yao Zhixue, Zheng Cheng,
Liane Feifan… we still need seven more DeoDle!”
“Let Song Chaoyu join!”
“Song Chaoyu?” Zhao Yunxiao exclaimed, “She’s only LVO, and that’s a LVIO secret realm. If…
“A secret realm lasts from its birth to self-destruction for about ten days. Only three days have passed so far, and even adding in the time required for the raid, we have ample time.”
“Give Song Chaoyu three days to level up. Regardless of which level she could reach after three days, she should participate in the raid on the newborn secret realm!”
Director Shen Nanfeng’s voice was steady and powerful, “I will send five more new Professionists from the headquarters. You will only need one more person. You can pick one from the new Professionists in Weihe Town to be our reserve member.”
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhao Yunxiao nodded, “Yes, I understand!”
“Take Weihe Town into your hands,” Director Shen Nanfeng said, “Pu Jia is offline again. Tell him to get back here today!”
“Yes, Director!” Zhao Yunxiao asked curiously, “What happened?”
“There is a disturbance in the chasm, the city lord is preparing to take a team down to investigate. We will accompany them.”
“A disturbance in the chasm…”
Zhao Yunxiao looked surprised and asked, “What’s going on?”
“I’m not sure. We’ll go check it out,” Director Shen Nanfeng replied, “If there’s anything else, I’ll contact you when I return.”
“Yes, Director!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yunxiao came outside.
“Sister Yunxiao.”
“Team captain.”
Zhao Yunxiao nodded and asked, “How are your relationships with Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu?”
“Song Chaoyu?”
Yao Zhixue instinctively looked at Zheng Cheng, “Song Chaoyu and Zheng Cheng are classmates, they should be close.”
Zheng Cheng replied awkwardly, “Well… our relationship is okay, after all, we’re classmates.” “Good, then I have a favour to ask you.” “What favour?”
“I want her to join the Night Watchers!”
“Huh?”
Inside the makeshift infirmary.
With a furrowed brow, Song Chaoyu slowly opened her eyes to a white ceiling.
“What happened to me?”
Upon checking herself, she found no restraints, but her head was still a little dizzy.
“I’m okay, does this mean I passed the ‘Heart Test’?”
“From now on, will I be a real Professionist?”
Song Chaoyu had always been smart, ranking top in academic knowledge in the whole school.
Giving her recent experiences some thought, she quickly understood what might have happened.
“I was possessed by the Master of the Black Sun, but then the Master of the Black Sun was killed by the Night Watchers.”
“For some reason, though, I inherited the profession of the Master of the Black
Sun.”
“Soul Sucking Banshee… the name of this profession… sounds like it’s not for good people.” “I wonder what the Night Watchers will do to me?”
“Click-!”
Just as she was thinking, the door to her room was opened.
Zhao Yunxiao, Yao Zhixue, and Zheng Cheng entered one after another.
“Zheng Cheng?”
Song Chaoyu’s eyes sparkled as she called his name first.
Zheng Cheng nodded awkwardly.
“You’re awake?”
Zhao Yunxiao glanced at the two of them, and started, “First of all, congratulations, Ms. Song Chaoyu. You have successfully passed the ‘Heart Test’.”
“Starting today, you will become a real Professionist!”
“A Professionist who serves the country and protects its people!”
“I, I see.”
Song Chaoyu quickly stood up.
“However… ”
Zhao Yunxiao continued, “Given the rarity and the unexpected way of how you acquired your profession, you may lose a degree of freedom for a considerable amount of time in the future.
“Huh? What… what do you mean?”
“Like your two classmates here, you’re to join the Night Watchers.”
“I’ll join!”
“Huh?”
