Chapter 41: Live Broadcast
Night Lan couldn’t rely on the wish machine just yet.
The aftereffects of fulfilling the dream narrator’s wishes hadn’t worn off.
At least, she had to wait until this week’s grand performance by the Rising Sun Theater Group.
But that was fine.
She had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.
The ability of “Existence Interference” was super handy.
As long as Night Lan thought about hiding Star Sheng’s inherent star eclipse pollution, “Existence Interference” would quickly respond, concealing all the eerie vibes emanating from Star Sheng.
Now, she couldn’t turn regular creatures into freaks anymore.
Without the star eclipse pollution, Star Sheng looked like an ordinary little girl.
There were no abnormalities whatsoever.
Probably only the Pinghai police guard could tell who she actually was by her appearance.
But that was cool.
With the leader of Pinghai’s instructions,
even if a patrol guard recognized Star Sheng, they wouldn’t interfere.
“Let’s go.”
Night Lan held Star Sheng’s hand, leading her into the crowd.
“Wu…”
Star Sheng nervously watched the passersby all around her.
She wanted to flee.
But Night Lan’s grip was too tight; escape was impossible.
Zero chance.
Then Night Lan’s gentle voice reached her.
“Don’t be scared! I’m here; nobody can hurt you. Plus, there are lots of cute little animals waiting to play with you. You want to abandon them?”
At those words,
Star Sheng’s fear and nervousness diminished, drawn in by the promise of cute animals.
“Many animals… many friends…”
Under the spell of strange fantasies,
Star Sheng relaxed and allowed Night Lan to lead her on a journey.
They began walking towards their destination.
Meanwhile…
As soon as Night Lan and Star Sheng appeared outside without any concealment,
someone immediately noticed them.
The sea city wasn’t just patrolled by night guards but also surveilled by all sorts of floating tech.
Including stuff from the Night Watcher Base.
And through the surveillance cameras, someone quickly recognized a familiar face—
That avatar of “Ecological Distortion”!
A special intermediate star eclipse that had severely harmed the marine ecosystem nearby!
The night guards had been searching for her,
but now she was suddenly showing up!
However, the boss had already issued an order.
If any star eclipses appeared outside, Pinghai’s night guards shouldn’t get involved.
Because the Sunlight Night Watcher from HQ would handle it alone.
“Ecological Distortion” was one of them.
Next, the patrolling guard and the staff monitoring the screens noticed something shocking.
An unfamiliar figure next to the intermediate star eclipse!
It looked like… a human?
A little black-haired girl?
“What’s going on? Why would an unknown person be with an Ecological Distortion!”
“Is it an undiscovered star eclipse or a special human?!”
Both of them were extremely shocked.
If it was an unknown star eclipse, they would take it seriously, wary of its danger, to avoid disrupting the peace of the sea city.
But if it’s a human, they need to act fast to save her.
Normal humans don’t have resistance to star eclipse pollution.
Getting infected would be very dangerous.
But before too long, orders came in: no interference was needed.
The night guards of Pinghai were confused.
Another message followed: the black-haired little girl by Ecological Distortion’s side was sent by the leader of the Sunlight Night Watchers of HQ.
“Goddamnit.”
The Pinghai night guards let out a loud expletive; their worldview was shattered.
Many questioned their lives.
Back at the scene:
Inside the Night Watcher base in the sea city,
the leader and two other Sunlight Night Watchers watched the monitors.
In the video,
Night Lan seemed to be in close contact with the Ecological Distortion, almost friend-like.
It looked like they were just strolling along together, good friends.
This baffled the trio.
What was Night Lan trying to do?
Was this how she planned to deal with it?
As a night watchman, touching star eclipses so intimately was unheard of!
The leader narrowed his eyes.
“Let’s keep watching.”
…
Switching back to the scene.
Night Lan had no intention of concealing anything.
This was experimental.
If she kept it hidden, there’d be no point.
Though she may d*e of embarrassment,
since the decision was final, regret was useless.
Better to embrace the humiliation.
Or maybe, beg Kong Yu Bai to use the “Existence Interference” power to make everyone forget everything.
Of course, this solution was only viable if the experiment failed.
Thinking about the possibility of live-streaming this scene made Night Lan feel incredibly embarrassed!
Her cheeks were burning, wishing she could roll down the street shouting.
Star Sheng spoke up:
“Night Lan, where are we going?”
The passing people still made Star Sheng nervous, but Night Lan’s hold offered some comfort despite previously tormenting her.
It was still better than the strangers.
Besides, Night Lan’s “cute animals” helped maintain her emotions.
“Mmm…”
Night Lan gently stroked Star Sheng’s head, no longer in her previous cruel mode.
“It’s an aquarium!”
The sea region of Pinghai surrounded by water naturally had aquariums for tourism.
Citizens could never swim deep into the ocean, thus these aquariums served as their window to underwater wonders.
Marine life in the aquarium were few survivors who escaped from Star Sheng’s alienated creatures.
If Star Sheng wanted to see “friends,” the aquarium was perfect.
But Star Sheng clearly had no idea what an aquarium was.
But with various fishes mentioned by Night Lan, excitement rose.
Next, Night Lan took Star Sheng in a taxi toward the aquarium.
Moments later.
Two loli appeared in front of the aquarium door.
“We’re here,” said Night Lan.
“This is the aquarium?”
Star Sheng was bursting with anticipation.
She could sense lively little lives inside, like her ocean friends.
“Let’s go in.”
Night Lan bought tickets and led Star Sheng into the aquarium.
Simultaneously,
the night watcher base swiftly connected to the aquarium cameras, broadcasting the scenes live.
The leader sternly watched the monitor, drawing many night guards nearby.
“What’s that girl up to? She dragged an Ecological Distortion to the aquarium. Full of marine life, what if she infects any of them?”
His bl**d pressure spiked; he nearly revoked his orders.
But Night Lan held a Breakthrough Star.
He had to trust her.
Perhaps this wouldn’t be as bad as imagined.
“Heh…”
The leader exhaled and continued watching the absurd scene.
He was clueless about Night Lan’s wild ideas,
maybe trapped in a fixed pattern of thinking.
