NOVEL WEB 4: The Super-Grade Mascot
“A Night Watcher from the future?” Yao Can uttered in a low voice, his eyes cold.
Standing at 180 centimeters tall, he looked down at Ye Lan, giving off an intimidating presence.
Ye Lan felt considerable pressure.
Especially that incredibly commanding gaze, just like encountering a superior at her previous job, particularly frightening.
“Do you have any evidence?”
Mo Yu shook his head.
“It’s all from what she said. There’s no substantial evidence, but I felt it couldn’t be ignored, so I brought her to you.”
“Good judgment.”
Yao Can nodded slightly, carefully examining Ye Lan.
“If you really are a Night Watcher from the future, how did you come here, and what is your Star?”
“Mm…”
Although this was confidential information, Ye Lan felt all Night Watchers could be trusted.
Moreover, it was an urgent situation now, so it was better to speak up.
“It’s a super-grade Star, seems to be a Supernova type. I was sent here by the power of the Star.”
“…”
Yao Can silently looked at Ye Lan, saying nothing for a long time.
Seeing he didn’t speak, Ye Lan couldn’t help but shrink her neck, feeling a bit nervous.
“You don’t believe me…?”
“Come with me,” Yao Can said expressionlessly, leading the way out.
Ye Lan was puzzled but followed along.
A while later, Ye Lan followed Yao Can to a place.
There was a blue light sphere about the size of a basketball, quietly floating in the air, looking very beautiful.
This was the special technology [Star-Knower], a Star technology created based on a certain Night Watcher’s Star, with a strong sensing effect on the existence of Stars and Star Eclipses.
“Touch it.”
“Oh…”
Ye Lan stood on tiptoe and touched the light sphere with her hand, feeling a bit of warmth, but not hot, a very warm feeling.
Then a surprising phenomenon occurred.
The sphere quickly lit up with dazzling light, as if it had received some huge stimulation.
“Identification result: vessel of a Supernova super-grade Star, Star [Wishing Machine], usage conditions unknown, location unknown, danger level unknown. Please contain and control immediately.”
After this message sounded, the light quickly dimmed.
The scene returned to calm.
Ye Lan had retreated a great distance, covering her eyes and letting out cries of distress.
“Wuu~ So dazzling!”
There was no time to close her eyes earlier, she was directly flashed.
What an unexpected flashbang!
How dare they!
Ye Lan seriously suspected that this dead fish-eyed uncle simply didn’t want to warn her in advance, deliberately letting her get flashed.
Damn it!
Ye Lan silently wrote this incident down in her mental notebook, vowing to get revenge someday.
Actually, that wasn’t the case. Yao Can had truly just forgotten.
At this moment, he was already in shock, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
“It’s actually true…”
This little girl… actually really possessed an unprecedented super-grade Star?
It should be known that since the establishment of the Night Watchers until now, no Night Watcher had ever possessed a super-grade Star. One can imagine how rare this grade is.
The existence of super-grade Stars was only known after the outbreak of Supernova Star Eclipses.
At least Yao Can didn’t believe that such power could be mastered by humans.
But now…
He was dumbfounded.
“Wishing Machine… super-grade Star… so it’s true?”
The abilities of super-grade Stars are also super-scale, so perhaps the ability to traverse time and space isn’t surprising.
Yao Can’s expression quickly became serious, feeling the pressure constantly increasing.
Since the super-grade Star was real, the information about Ye Lan returning from the future to the present could basically be believed, so the news she brought back was also likely to happen.
Supernova Star Eclipse—[Puppet City]!
Yao Can glanced at Ye Lan.
“When will the Supernova Star Eclipse erupt? Where exactly will it erupt?”
“Mm… it seems to be late September, in Shanghe City…”
“Where is the Star Eclipse core?”
“I don’t know…” Ye Lan fearfully shrank her neck, feeling the aura from this dead fish-eyed uncle getting stronger and stronger.
Yao Can’s gaze became increasingly sharp.
“Was this matter not resolved in the future?”
“It was resolved…”
“Then there must be detailed records, whether it’s the resolution process or method, even the main location of the Star Eclipse should be recorded. Tell me all the information.”
Ye Lan took a small step back, a drop of cold sweat falling.
“Um… sorry, I didn’t look carefully…”
“…”
Yao Can’s mouth twitched, and he became terrifyingly quiet.
Those who knew him, Mo Yu and Lanfeng Suyu, knew this meant his blood pressure was rising.
Yao Can was meticulous and serious in his own work, not only towards himself but also towards his subordinates.
Mo Yu even felt that if Ye Lan were Yao Can’s subordinate, Yao Can would definitely have a mental breakdown right now.
Yao Can took a deep breath, his aura gradually weakening, and asked calmly, “How long have you been a Night Watcher?”
“Just a few days…”
“Haven’t mastered your Star yet?”
“No…”
“Have you participated in any Star Eclipse missions?”
“No.”
Yao Can glanced at Ye Lan, looking at her like a mascot.
“Then just stay in the base, don’t go anywhere. What follows is our business.”
“Eh?” Ye Lan looked completely confused.
“Mo Yu, come with me. Lanfeng Suyu, take her to find a place to rest,” Yao Can said, turning to leave.
“Yes, Boss.”
Lanfeng Suyu looked at the loli before her, her eyes full of curiosity.
“A person from the future, huh? It’s my first time seeing one. You must know the endings of many works, right? I’m currently following many anime series, comics, and novels, and I’m very curious about the upcoming content. Why don’t you tell me in advance?”
Ye Lan blinked, hesitating to speak.
“But I might not have seen those works either.”
“Mm… that’s true. Well, let me take you to rest first.”
Saying this, Lanfeng Suyu took Ye Lan’s hand and walked towards the dormitory area.
“Don’t mind that dead fish-eyed boss looking fierce, he actually cares a lot about his subordinates. Now you just rest well. After the matter is resolved, we’ll find a way to send you back.”
“Can’t I leave here?”
Lanfeng Suyu pondered for a moment and said, “At least not now. You’re very important and might play a crucial role, so it’s better to stay in the Night Watchers’ base. It’s very safe here.”
“Alright.”
Ye Lan felt she might not be of much use, and getting lost would only cause trouble, so it was better to slack off here.
Moreover, Ye Xing was still outside. If there was anything she wanted to do, she could use the other body to do it.
Yes, that’s it.
……
As soon as Yao Can left, he gathered all the Night Watcher squad leaders and several other Radiant Sun level assault forces.
Now more than a dozen Night Watchers were gathered in a conference room, waiting for Yao Can’s speech.
Bang!
Yao Can slammed the table hard and said with utmost seriousness, “It’s an emergency. All personnel, sound the level one alarm. I’ve received information that a large-scale Star Eclipse event will occur in Shanghe City soon.”
Hearing this, another Radiant Sun Night Watcher said, “Is it necessary to gather all the forces in the base to prepare? Do you want to mobilize everyone’s power? This is against the rules.”
Yao Can shook his head, staring straight at him.
“I not only want to mobilize all the Night Watchers in Shanghe City but also want to request support from other cities. What do you think?”
“What kind of Star Eclipse requires such a grand lineup?”
Everyone was puzzled.
To this, Yao Can calmly uttered three words.
“Supernova.”
