Chapter 52: How About Maintaining It Continuously?
Back at the theater.
Mo Rabbit casually said:
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first and get ready for tomorrow’s performance.”
“Hmm…”
After Night Star nodded in response, Mo Rabbit’s figure faded away.
Yun Chang City.
Upon returning to her home, Mo Rabbit took off the cute dress with her snow-white hands and tossed it onto the bed.
The rabbit plushie from the puppet master was also thrown aside carelessly.
With only black underwear left on her body, Mo Rabbit observed her exquisite makeup in the mirror and fell into deep thought.
“Quite adorable.”
Based on human standards, she must look like a very charming petite lady now. The male version of her was handsome, and becoming female didn’t make much difference—except that it mostly appeals to loli lovers.
Coincidentally, a certain audience performer is also a loli fan.
“Heh~ but it is indeed convenient.”
Mo Tu no longer has any resistance towards becoming Mo Rabbit now. This cute image brings her a lot of convenience.
It’s already quite interesting to be seen with the Rising Sun Theater Group in public, let alone using this image to stir things up.
The only downside is being given such a silly nickname by the person who started it all.
Indeed, quite a twisted sense of humor.
Although she has no right to complain, after taking a brief moment to self-admire in the mirror, Mo Rabbit walked into the bathroom to wash off her makeup and return to her bare-faced state.
In her next heartbeat, Mo Rabbit inwardly rejected the announcer’s identity within the theater group.
With a flash of white light, Mo Tu returned.
“As expected, no matter how many times, it’s still a bit unsettling.”
Mo Tu moved his body, adapting to the abrupt change at breakneck speed.
After warming up, Mo Tu put on some clothes. He then stepped out of the room.
He planned to head to the Night Watcher Base.
A shift of perspective.
Mo Tu’s figure had already appeared in the Night Watcher Base.
He entered the reception room.
Xiao Jin, Wang Chao, and Bai Yuan were all there.
Since there were no major incidents happening in Yun Chang City, they had more free time and occasionally chatted together in the reception area.
When Mo Tu came in, their gazes all shifted towards him.
Wang Chao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
“It’s rare to see you here; are you bored recently?”
Mo Tu sat down in any available spot.
“Not too bad, not as boring as I thought. Some things are still pretty interesting.”
“Hiss… I’m curious, you’ve been coming and going mysteriously, spending most of your time outside the base, must be living at home all the time, huh?”
“Sort of,” Mo Tu replied nonchalantly.
Bai Yuan smiled and chimed in, “Actually, it’s nice to gather like this and chat. It’s better than moping around alone. By the way, I can show off my daughters, Bai Tu and Bai Yu, great kids they are.”
Hearing this stereotypical father line, Wang Chao responded with false enthusiasm.
“Yeah, yeah, your obedient little girls, I as a lone wolf really envy you.”
At this point, Mo Tu’s smile grew wider.
“Lone wolf? Isn’t it the other way around? Isn’t your return to the capital going to change that? Too shy to face people or embarrassed?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao instantly blew up like he had PTSD.
“Don’t bring up that thing! If you continue, we’ll have words!”
“Huh, good for you.”
Seeing his reaction, Mo Tu couldn’t help but grin even more happily.
Sure enough, Yun Chang City still had its share of fun.
Even if it wasn’t particularly amusing, it was at least entertaining.
After Mo Tu stopped talking, Wang Chao sat back down with a laid-back expression.
“Just wait and see, I’ll eventually face everything. Then you won’t have anything to laugh about.”
“Really? Hope so.”
Mo Tu didn’t say anything to mock him as he kept some decorum.
As the daylight dimmed,
Wang Chao and Bai Yuan left one after another.
Now, only Mo Tu and Xiao Jin remained in the reception area.
Mo Tu and Xiao Jin met eyes.
Xiao Jin spoke first.
“Just got back?”
“Yeah.”
“How was it?”
“Not bad overall, not too boring.”
“I heard you wore a pretty skirt. I saw the photos from Qi Yuan City, very cute, almost like Bai Yuan’s little girl.”
“No need for that praise.”
Mo Tu sighed lightly.
The announcer’s identity within the Night Watcher group wasn’t entirely a secret. The leader of the headquarters and the director of Yun Chang City knew about it.
The former was informed by Mo Tu himself, while the latter guessed correctly.
Since the Rising Sun Theater Group became a legal organization and drew attention from the local Night Watchers during activities, as an announcer within them, Mo Tu’s whereabouts couldn’t be hidden anymore.
So Xiao Jin, knowing the inside story, was well aware of what Mo Tu did.
Xiao Jin wouldn’t accuse Mo Tu of neglecting his duties.
Staying within the Rising Sun Theater Group to keep an eye on unstable factors was far better than staying at the Night Watcher Base, dealing with all sorts of domestic chaos.
Long-term, Xiao Jin supported Mo Tu’s actions as long as he didn’t turn traitor.
“How’s the situation in the capital? You should be involved too, right?”
If Ye Lan was in the capital, then it was likely that the Rising Sun Theater Group would be there too. Naturally, Mo Tu could also appear over there.
A rare star eclipse event in the capital caught the audience’s attention, and all Night Watchers, including Xiao Jin, were keeping an eye on the situation there.
Mo Tu shook his head.
“A bit tricky, it’s not something easily resolved in the short term. Likely, it will come down to relying on that girl.”
“Oh? You mean Ye Lan?”
“What do you think?” Mo Tu asked.
“Indeed, her power is equivalent to the efficiency of all the Night Watchers in the capital.”
Xiao Jin shook his head again, seemingly marveled at the extraordinary star’s strength.
“In any case, thank you for your hard work.”
“Not bad, just sometimes being an adorable girl is a bit troublesome.”
“Heh~ I think you enjoy it. And I noticed you maintain the appearance of a young girl quite nicely. At least it’s easier on the eyes. How about maintaining that forever?”
“Heh, you’ve got wild ideas,” Mo Tu chuckled.
…
The sun had set.
Night Lan had just finished dinner in the cafeteria and returned to the rest area, patting her small belly as she went.
She had eaten her fill.
On the side note, today wasn’t just satisfying for Ye Lan; it was the same for Ye Lan as well.
For instance, Middle-aged Night Feathers dragged her out to play the whole afternoon.
In order to prove “following Night Feathers means a bright future,” Night Feathers treated Ye Lan to a feast, watched a movie, and bought her things, demonstrating the “omnipotence of the ruler of the dark skies.”
Ye Lan didn’t know if Night Feathers was truly omnipotent, but one thing was certain—she certainly had money.
Throughout this process, Night Feathers kept treating her meals, which made her a true rich woman.
This should ensure that she wouldn’t have to worry about “following Night Feathers leads to hunger for days.” Isn’t it reassuring that even when in dire straits, one can still eat well?
