### Chapter 51: Bad News
Night Lan ignored Eypar’s clingy behavior with Night Star and walked towards the stage to watch Lianhua practicing puppet shows.
To be frank, this was actually the first time Night Lan had set foot in the theater with her body.
Strictly speaking, she was also an Audience Performer, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
Lianhua on stage seemed to notice Night Lan below and stopped manipulating the puppets.
“Night Lan?”
“Mmm, yeah.”
Lianhua knew this was another form of Night Star but still felt puzzled.
“Why would Night Lan come to the theater?”
Night Lan glanced behind her and softly sighed.
“Because some naughty ghost has been dying to visit the new city, so I brought her along.”
“Ah, I see. So it’s Eypar.”
Lianhua finally saw the ghost girl who was currently hugging Night Star.
“Is she bored lately?”
“Probably. When I’m not around, she just stays at home all day and doesn’t want to go out. I thought bringing her to this new city might cheer her up.”
“I think having Night Lan by her side would make her happy too.”
“Hmm~”
After chatting for a bit, Night Lan decided to go out and explore.
Yes, exploring the streets of Qi Yuan City with Night Lan’s body felt like a different level of awesome!
She officially had legit ID, d*mn it, not some illegal immigrant status.
She walked out of the theater alone, through the passageway, and arrived at the dead end of the Calligraphy and Painting Entertainment District.
With a confident stride, she stepped into the open space.
“Mmm, now let’s give the Administrator a surprise.”
Muttering to herself, she headed straight for the Library.
Outside the Library, Night Star used “Existence Interference” to sense everyone inside.
It appeared that besides the Administrator and a few people reading books, there were no other suspicious individuals.
And Ice Lixie wasn’t here either.
If Ice Lixie were here, Night Lan wouldn’t dare enter.
Since Night Lan had clear identification, she could easily be found in any database as Yun Chang City’s newbie Night Watcher.
As for the Audience Performer, Night Star had shown herself in front of Ice Lixie before.
If someone with the same appearance as Night Star suddenly appeared, Ice Lixie, with the wisdom and analytical skills of a Sunlight Night Watcher, might uncover some secrets.
Then, more secrets would be exposed, and Night Lan would be finished.
But the Administrator didn’t pose a threat.
Since she had promised not to spill any beans to Ice Lixie, even if asked directly.
That’s why Night Lan came to see the Administrator.
“Mmm, being cautious…”
Looking left and right, Night Lan cautiously entered the library.
When she saw the purple-haired big sister still at the counter, Night Lan tiptoed over and peeked out from behind, staring at the seemingly oblivious Administrator.
“I’m here.”
“Are you here for the book?”
“Mm, let’s leave the reading aside. Just lift your head and look at me first.”
Hearing this, the Administrator lifted her head and saw the unfamiliar face.
Black hair and blue eyes, very strange.
But the face was familiar.
The Administrator almost mistook the face at first sight, then quickly thought something else and asked, “Audience Performer?”
“Right, it’s me.”
Night Lan smiled at the surprised expression on the Administrator’s face, finding it incredibly amusing.
“Hehe~ surprised? Want to guess why?”
“Is this your other form?”
The Audience Performer had already hinted at this secret earlier, so it wasn’t hard to guess.
“Mm, yes. The me from another city needed to do something, hence I popped over.”
Closing her book, the Administrator whispered,
“Is this really okay? Shouldn’t this be kept a secret? Won’t complications arise if people find out about you and the Audience Performer being the same person?”
“Mmm… It’s a secret. You’ll have to keep it for me, Administrator.”
“This isn’t something just keeping it can fix. You need to be careful.”
“Mmhm, I understand.”
Night Lan heard concern in the Administrator’s tone and felt elated.
“I’ll return soon after this little surprise.”
“That’s good. Don’t get caught by villains.”
“Mm~”
Shortly after, Night Lan turned and left. She really only came to check things out quickly.
Seeing her off, the Administrator looked away, lost in thoughts.
Not long after Night Lan left, a tall figure with white hair walked in.
The Administrator saw her long-time friend, unsure what she wanted.
“Who was the person who just came in?” Ice Lixie quietly asked.
“Just a regular little girl.”
“If only that were true.”
Ice Lixie didn’t call the Administrator out on her lie. Instead, she got straight to the point.
“I’ve got bad news for you. Your position is exposed. The Sunset Research Institute probably knows exactly where you are, so the library is no longer safe.”
“Is it really that bad…?”
The Administrator sighed lightly.
She had known this day would come, just not this soon.
Ice Lixie gave advice, “Should we relocate to a safer spot? If you go to the Night Watcher Base, they won’t catch you. That’d be the safest option.”
“But… if I go to the Night Watcher Base, the Audience Performer won’t be able to see me anymore?”
“This…”
Ice Lixie stared at the Administrator in disbelief, seeing how earnest she was.
“So, you don’t intend to go to the Night Watcher Base?”
“Yep, I have stuff to do. Can’t hide in a safe house while living in fear. You know, that’s always been my goal.”
Ice Lixie fell silent, sensing the Administrator’s determination.
She wouldn’t try to convince her further.
Once someone made up their mind, no amount of persuasion would change it.
Unless someone else came along with an extraordinary approach.
But it certainly wouldn’t be Ice Lixie.
“Okay, I respect your choice. During this time, I’ll drive away anyone who tries to bother you. Wishing you success in achieving your final obsession…”
“Thanks.”
Turning, Ice Lixie walked away, leaving a resilient silhouette behind for Ice Lixie.
“I’m not as resolute as you nor do I have grand aspirations. A fragile soul like mine can only wait for final liberation, sorry for disappointing your expectations…”
The Administrator muttered to herself, hiding these words away.
Being friends with Ice Lixie, she had shared some secrets.
These unusual traits about the Night Watcher made her drop her guard, warming up to this kind-hearted beauty.
Always hoping the Administrator would look forward to a better future.
Yet, she was determined to end her torment, unwilling to wait or endure any longer.
