Chapter 14 Escaping Unscathed
The scene shifts.
Capital Headquarters.
Mo Tu was browsing the Night Watcher official website in the lounge, checking out the hottest topics at the moment:
【Rising Sun Theater Group spotted near the Pinghaishi beach, seemingly on a joyful parade.】
【Theater group members got along well with multiple Night Watchers without any conflicts.】
【Heaven-defying! Two Night Watchers challenged the Gentleman and the Fraudster, only to suffer a humiliating defeat!】
【The local Pinghaishi Night Watchers plan to form a team and head to the beach to challenge the Gentleman and the Fraudster without any special abilities.】
【Night Watcher Night Lan from the Capital Lightbringer appeared by the sea, interacting amicably with the theater’s audience performer, suspected to be a pre-arranged meeting.】
【Capital Lightbringer, our light, our final defense line! Night Lan is gearing up to conquer the audience performer and bring the Rising Sun Theater Group under the Night Watcher’s banner. Congratulations!】
【On the possibility of the Rising Sun Theater Group and Night Watchers getting along amicably.】
…
From these topics, one could tell that the audience performer led her Rising Sun Theater Group to host another shocking team-building event.
Mo Tu glanced at the on-site photos taken; various styles of swimsuits brought back some not-so-pleasant memories.
He suddenly felt glad.
If his announcer form was photographed in a swimsuit and uploaded to the Night Watcher official website, he would surely feel very uncomfortable.
And if his identity were to be exposed someday, he might just escape this planet.
“Joy.”
This was joy at having escaped that situation.
Mo Tu continued browsing the website, still quite interested in the net surfing.
He clicked into one hot topic after another, observing the comments from different accounts, carefully analyzing the attitudes of these Night Watchers.
Things seemed to be unfolding exactly as the loli had envisioned it.
The first step went rather smoothly.
As for initiating topics, the actions taken at the seaside were extraordinarily successful.
It also drew in the Night Watcher camp, forcing them to participate in the discussions.
Among them was this emerging new star, Night Lan.
She was currently one of the hottest figures in the Night Watcher circles.
Just the fact that her childish act earned her such a high position in the Capital Lightbringer would have been astonishing news.
She also demonstrated miraculous powers:
For instance, reversing Star Eclipses back to humans.
This was something that surpassed all Night Watchers’ capabilities.
Combining those two focal points naturally sparked fiery debates.
Currently, Night Lan’s attitude toward the Rising Sun Theater Group was very friendly.
Most Night Watchers even considered this loli their final line of defense.
As a result, Night Lan’s stance subtly influenced these Night Watchers’ perspectives on the Rising Sun Theater Group.
But the Rising Sun Theater Group was almost recognized as the world’s strongest force of Star Eclipses, and their power was formidable enough to make even the Night Watcher Headquarters take notice.
Furthermore, the flaws of the Star Eclipses were already ingrained in the common knowledge of every Night Watcher.
Had the three group leaders representing the Rising Sun Theater Group not done things that embarrassed the Night Watchers recently, acceptance would have come much easier now.
Their poor deeds could never be forgotten by the Night Watchers.
Their stability now owes much to the Audience Performer showing human-side actions.
Night Watchers could accept the Audience Performer easily, but accepting other members of the theater group would be much tougher.
That’s what some Night Watchers thought.
Unless the Rising Sun Theater Group made significant achievements, solving problems even the Night Watchers couldn’t handle.
This time, standing up and solving issues might be seen as redeeming themselves, gaining recognition quickly.
However, confirming their harmlessness wouldn’t bring harmony between Night Watchers and the Rising Sun Theater Group.
This simple path was actually quite difficult.
Unless that loli wanted to use her wish-making ability to change this reality.
But thinking about it, given her personality, she probably wouldn’t.
In a sense.
Life should have its dramatic moments.
Nightingale Star was also enjoying this transformation process.
Having invincible power but relying solely on it for any tasks could make you a puppet of that power.
It was impressive that the loli could maintain such psychological resilience.
Using it when needed, not using it when unnecessary.
No wonder that wish-granting celestial chose her.
Mo Tu shook his head, dispelling his thoughts, and promptly closed the Night Watcher’s official website.
Now he was one of the Lightbringer Night Watchers under the organization, with his own affairs to attend to.
The Rising Sun Theater Group situation could be left to that loli.
Even without him it wouldn’t matter.
Considering the current circumstances.
One must wait until tomorrow to go to the Hero Cemetery.
Because the headquarters didn’t call just him.
Apart from the Lightbringer Night Watchers from headquarters, some outside Night Watchers had to return together for the operation.
At least everyone will be here today before the operation fully begins.
During that interim period, they’d need to do some troublesome preparations, and could only mobilize tomorrow.
Mo Tu could also arrive later tonight, but looking at the Pinghaishi beaches, he felt it was pretty decent arriving yesterday.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t escape this team-building event.
He certainly didn’t want the Announcer’s cute swimsuit picture to go viral on the Night Watcher’s official site.
Just thinking about that image made Mo Tu feel less enthusiastic.
Others might be cheerful.
But it didn’t concern him.
“Sigh, let’s go for a walk.”
Mo Tu stepped off the bed, ready to get some fresh air.
His presence in the Night Watchers organization was rather low-key.
Almost no juniors knew him.
Back in Yun Chang City, he maintained his status as a Lightbringer Night Watcher but was barely known by any of the juniors.
The same applied to the headquarters.
Regardless of what he did, Mo Tu kept it low-profile and never sought fame.
What they say about people fearing recognition and pigs fearing fattening, he was troubled by being noticed.
Once upon a time, his unique divination skills caught the attention of certain bigwigs.
That’s how he smoothly left the capital to Yun Chang City, which was relatively peaceful at that time.
But now, a few years later, it’s likely that fewer would recognize him.
Compared to Nightlan, the new rising Night Watcher star, Mo Tu was like an insignificant person, which suited him fine.
Should Mo Tu unexpectedly return to the capital unnoticed, those bigwigs would scarcely notice him.
All eyes would be on Nightlan and the Audience Performer.
Thanks to this.
Mo Tu’s stay in the capital could be quite tranquil.
This was what they meant by attracting fire.
Indeed, it worked splendidly.
Mo Tu happily walked out of the lounge.
As he reached the intersection, a shadow ran over and naturally bumped into Mo Tu.
“Ah!”
Mo Tu, thanks to his towering stature, remained steady and unshaken.
The other party, however, wasn’t so lucky.
They looked quite battered.
Silently mourning their rear end for three seconds.
“Pain… that hurt my dignity! Who dared bump into the esteemed Dark Heaven Dominator? State your name!”
Mo Tu calmly stared at the gray-haired maiden in front of him, feeling somewhat intrigued.
After a quick divination, he discovered the maiden was somehow related to Night Lan, probably a friend.
How fate works sometimes.
