NOVEL WEB 2: Seeking Help from the Night Watchers
The sun shone brightly overhead.
“Oh my~”
After going out, Ye Lan was covered in sweat, suddenly feeling the problem was getting bigger and bigger.
Because this wasn’t the Yunzhang City she knew at all!
“Where is this? Isn’t it Yunzhang City? Where has my Star taken me this time?”
Ye Lan’s vision darkened, and she nearly fainted. Her head was full of question marks, her mind in chaos.
But she needed to stay calm. Only by staying calm could she figure out the situation.
Then Ye Lan took action, mustering up the courage to carefully inquire with passersby before learning where she was.
“Mm… Shanghe City? I remember it’s next to Yunzhang City…”
Ye Lan lowered her head in thought, bought breakfast, and then returned home the same way.
In an unknown small house.
Yes, unknown.
Whether this was Yunzhang City or not, Ye Xinglan didn’t know if this was her home, but the spatial layout and furnishings were identical.
Ye Xing and Ye Lan ate their breakfast in small bites, thinking as they ate.
“Why am I in Shanghe City? Where is the place I’m living? My head hurts…”
Ultimately, it should all be the fault of the Star inside her.
If nothing unexpected happened, this was definitely related to the wish she made before sleeping.
She wanted to fix the puppeteer’s puppet, so the Star responded by sending her here.
Ye Lan felt very frustrated.
This [Wishing Machine] was too disappointing.
To fulfill a wish, she still had to do the hard work herself. Shouldn’t it be like saying something and then “ding”, it’s realized?
There was no class at all, and it was supposed to be a Supernova.
“Useless Star!”
Ye Lan angrily finished her breakfast, venting a bit of emotion before calming down.
This situation was different from Bai Yu’s.
It seemed she couldn’t observe the entire event as a bystander anymore.
From the current situation, it looked like she had to directly intervene.
But the problem was she didn’t know anything, how could she intervene?!
Weak and helpless, she could only run away. She didn’t even have any connections in Shanghe City, saying she was running around aimlessly would be an overstatement.
“Wuu huu huu…”
Just as Ye Lan was feeling troubled, her expression changed the next second, suddenly thinking of something.
“Wait, Shanghe City should also have a Night Watchers’ base, right? Then I just need to go to the Night Watchers’ base for help.”
“But what identity should I use to seek help? An ordinary citizen or a Night Watcher from the future?” Ye Xing asked herself.
Ye Lan lowered her head in thought for a moment, her small pink fist slightly clenched, punching the air, her gaze gradually becoming determined.
“Mm… life and death are trivial, if you don’t agree then fight, I’ll risk it all.”
“Right, doesn’t matter! Charge!”
……
Under the scorching sun.
A mysterious black-haired loli arrived at the police station, peering around with an expression of having something difficult to say.
Several on-duty police officers noticed her and gathered around.
“Little sister, is there anything we can help you with?”
“Um… I’m a Night Watcher. Can you tell me where this city’s Night Watchers’ base is?”
Police: “?”
And so, with the help of the half-believing, half-doubting police, a Night Watcher from Shanghe City came to Ye Lan.
This was a beautiful young girl with pink hair and golden eyes, wearing a special blue and white uniform, staring at the black-haired loli who claimed to be a Night Watcher.
“Little one, where… did you hear the term ‘Night Watcher’?”
Lanfeng Suyu crouched down, keeping her gaze level with Ye Lan’s, her expression very serious.
“I didn’t just hear it, I really am a Night Watcher!”
Hearing the doubt in the pink-haired girl’s tone, Ye Lan became a bit anxious.
However, Lanfeng Suyu still didn’t believe Ye Lan’s words.
“I’ve never heard of a colleague as young as you among us Night Watchers. It’s not right to lie.”
“Mm… I know about Stars, and Star Eclipses, and many, many other things. Ordinary people shouldn’t know these things.”
Hearing her say this, Lanfeng Suyu’s expression began to become serious. She muttered, “Perhaps some undisciplined rookie leaked it, and even revealed such important information. Looks like I’ll have to report this to my superiors…”
“I’m telling the truth!”
Lanfeng Suyu pondered for a moment and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Ye Lan. ‘Ye’ as in night, ‘Lan’ as in wave.”
Lanfeng Suyu stood up and opened a projection screen, beginning to search for Ye Lan’s information.
But strangely… there was no information at all.
Not just information about Ye Lan claiming to be a Night Watcher, but even information as an ordinary citizen was missing.
Seeing this, Lanfeng Suyu began to sense something unusual.
“An unregistered person?”
Ye Lan hurriedly shook her head, “No, my Star seems to be able to traverse time. Actually, I’m a Night Watcher from the future. I still can’t fully control my Star, so…”
Hearing this, Lanfeng Suyu grabbed Ye Lan’s arm and started running, stuffing her into a car.
“Eh?”
Ye Lan looked bewildered, still not quite understanding the situation.
Not long after, Ye Lan was brought to this city’s Night Watchers’ base.
Lanfeng Suyu seriously instructed, “Wait here first, don’t wander off. I’m going to find someone.”
“Uh… okay.”
Ye Lan wore a timid expression, not daring to say or ask anything, only able to wait in place for the pink-haired beauty to return.
After a while, Ye Lan saw the pink-haired girl running back, pulling along a gray-white haired young man.
“Mo Yu, this is the little one I was talking about.”
“Wait, I haven’t digested what you just told me. Let me think for a bit longer.”
Ye Lan curiously looked at this young man in his twenties.
This guy looked a bit cool, wearing an eyepatch over his right eye, quite peculiar, and with a sort of chuunibyou aura.
“Lanfeng Suyu, you say you encountered someone claiming to be a Night Watcher from the future, is that right?”
“Mm.” Lanfeng Suyu nodded.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not sure, but I feel like what she’s saying might be true.”
“If you’re not sure, why did you bring her here? Isn’t that setting us up?”
“But she knows a lot about Night Watchers.”
“That could very well be because some talkative Night Watcher told her, you know.”
“I thought about that, but she said her Star was about to lose control…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yu instantly turned his gaze to Ye Lan, who was standing aside watching the show, his eyes full of vigilance and seriousness.
Ye Lan was startled and hurriedly shook her head.
“I’m not, I don’t, I didn’t say that, I just haven’t fully mastered my Star yet…”
Lanfeng Suyu lowered her head in thought, “Perhaps I misheard.”
Mo Yu sighed, feeling a bit speechless.
“I say you’re slow, and you still won’t admit it. Always causing all sorts of ridiculous mix-ups.”
“It might be true…” Lanfeng Suyu was still trying hard to save her reputation.
Mo Yu leaned lazily against the wall, closing one eye.
“At least I’ve never heard of a Star that can travel between the future and the past. It’s too absurd.”
“But there’s absolutely no information about her in the current data network. It’s as if she appeared out of thin air.”
“Oh? Now that is unusual.”
Mo Yu straightened up and walked in front of Ye Lan, examining her carefully.
“Um… hello.” Ye Lan timidly greeted.
Mo Yu looked for a few moments and suddenly sucked in a cold breath.
“I see you have an extraordinary aura and you’re cute. Interested in hanging out with me?”
“??”
Looking closely, the loli before him was quite cute, making Mo Yu’s heart flutter a bit.
Ahem, he’s not a lolicon.
But Ye Lan was indeed cute.
To emphasize again, he really wasn’t a lolicon.
“Gulp!”
A hint of fear appeared in Ye Lan’s azure eyes, her body involuntarily taking half a step back, seeming a bit scared.
Could this guy not be a Night Watcher, but a kidnapper?
Mo Yu’s mouth twitched, “Are you serious with that half-step back?”
Sometimes, small actions can really hurt.
