Chapter 75: Hurray!
Headquarters
The Night Watch Leader pondered over a document in his hands.
“So it turns out the undying Star Holder has joined the Rising Sun Theater Group. That’s quite an unexpected twist—perhaps even a good ending.”
This was information uploaded by Black Yang, the leader of the Night Watch in Qi Yuan City, which gave the leader a clear understanding of what happened.
From this document, the leader had already picked up a lot of information.
“The ones behind the Sunset Research Institute really need to be dealt with properly.”
Those folks had been disrespecting authority far too much, and that couldn’t be allowed.
The rulers of this country had entrusted the highest law enforcement power to the Night Watch, and they needed to maintain order, without any wild individuals ever daring to think they could rise above authority.
And those influential figures behind the Sunset Research Institute planned on using the power of stars or star eclipses to create a dangerous force that would crush the Night Watch. That was way over the line.
Additionally, their research on creating dangerous artifacts like artificial star eclipses must be warned against and dealt with.
To start with, they would deal with some of the bold small fry, teaching them that some things are not to be meddled with—this would serve as a warning.
Having decided on this, the leader began thinking about other matters.
That led him to consider the issue of the Rising Sun Theater Group.
Back then, even he found this organization quite perplexing.
The Rising Sun Theater Group was like a mobile disaster waiting to happen; even Sunlight had no clue how to handle them.
Past performances by the Rising Sun Theater Group spread chaos, scattering polluted seeds throughout cities, causing immediate outbreaks of star eclipses.
If not for the Night Watch’s quick response, the cities in question would have plunged into chaos.
They were said to have instilled fear in the hearts of Night Watch members.
But unbeknownst to everyone, an Audience Performer emerged within the Rising Sun Theater Group.
At first, the Night Watch assumed she was just another star eclipse, making the disasters worse and adding pressure to their workload.
But to their surprise, she was actually human.
A human integrated into a bizarre troupe full of star eclipses—an unprecedented event.
Moreover, she turned out to be a constraint for the troupe.
Under her control, the Rising Sun Theater Group no longer spread star eclipse contamination. Their grand performances weren’t terrifying anymore, transforming the very nature of the troupe.
The leader vividly recalled the sheer astonishment he felt upon learning of these developments.
After deep consideration, he decided to give the Rising Sun Theater Group a chance, perhaps as an investment in the future.
However, things quickly went awry.
Star Eclipse Hunter Xi Xia led the troupe members into a chaotic state, starting with a terrifying grand performance.
Just when the leader thought the Rising Sun Theater Group would again spread star eclipse contamination, the Audience Performer stepped in, once more bringing order to the troupe.
What a miracle.
Reflecting on it, with the lineup of the Rising Sun Theater Group at the time:
two supernova star eclipses and three ultra star eclipses, any Night Watch member could have been killed, yet all were defeated by the Audience Performer.
Excluding acting, the results were truly eye-opening.
The leader watched recordings of the grand performance many times, analyzing the Audience Performer’s fighting prowess, astonished by their performance.
He was certain those actors released a Pacific Ocean worth of water; real star eclipse powers didn’t even come into play.
It took serious observation to notice the watered-down scenes.
Clearly, the Audience Performer was vital to the Rising Sun Theater Group. Even when manipulated into losing control, she completed a harmless grand performance—a first in history.
From that moment on, the leader grew more attentive to the Rising Sun Theater Group, or rather, the Audience Performer.
Later, Mo Tu, a Sunlight Night Watch from Yun Chang City, sent him a report which once again left the leader deep in thought.
Given his age, such a scene was entirely new to him.
Mo Tu, of all people, became the announcer for the Rising Sun Theater Group—unbelievable.
Furthermore, the little guy transformed into his cute self.
As for the identity of the Audience Performer, although not explicitly stated…
“Hmm, interesting, becoming even more intriguing.”
Muttering to himself, the leader eagerly anticipated meeting the girl who held the extraordinary star.
Due to her unique position, the leader didn’t call her directly but asked her to choose when to meet, suggesting she might “come around sometime.”
Only time would tell if that lil’ loli would forget about it and keep enjoying life in Yun Chang City.
Xiao Jin must remind her later.
Meanwhile, there was also the matter of dealing with the Rising Sun Theater Group.
He hadn’t given further instructions to the Night Watch, leaving the Rising Sun Theater Group still a target for elimination.
Now they appeared in Qi Yuan City and were involved in the affairs of the Sunset Research Institute.
Plus, impending outdoor performances and grand shows…
“Hmm…”
The leader pondered and started drafting an action plan against the Rising Sun Theater Group.
Usually, these plans required multiple discussions and meetings with other management.
Yet after comprehending the situation’s complexity, he didn’t desire a meeting.
Going behind closed doors, he had the authority as the Night Watch Leader to do so without explanation.
…
Simultaneously
In the Fish Playing House of Yun Chang City,
Night Lan sprawled lazily on the bed.
Her Night Watch device suddenly beeped, indicating a significant message.
“Mmmm…”
She picked it up and, sure enough, it was a new directive from headquarters.
“An action plan for the Rising Sun Theater Group? Not my problem ~”
Night Lan put down her device and continued lying lethargically.
“Woah!”
Her eyes snapped open, shimmering with surprise, sitting straight up instantly.
“An action plan for the Rising Sun Theater Group? Better check this out properly.”
She hurriedly opened HQ’s group notification.
“Um~ [Regarding the Night Watch’s handling of the Rising Sun Theater Group, starting from the issuance of this notification, they will be categorized under non-harmful star eclipses scope. When the troupe members remain stable, they will no longer be targets for elimination. All explanations are reserved solely for the Night Watch Leader.]”
Night Lan stood in stunned silence.
Seconds later, she leaped in joy, bouncing up and down.
“Hurray! No more anxiety! The Night Watch Leader is amazing, great job!”
The noise from the small house reached next door, prompting Mo Tu, also reading the notification, to sigh softly.
“Leader surely has some personality, issuing these orders—must have analyzed something from my report.”
Perhaps it was the case.
“Wow, really boosting trust. As expected from you.”
Mo Tu shook his head, resuming his casual work.
