Chapter 62 Intrusion
The Announcer’s Hetu Luoshu had three effects.
One was divination used often, another was the less-used meridian map, and the last one was a rarely used star chart.
The star chart could help her see through illusions, mazes, illusions, and other abnormal environments, pointing out the absolutely correct direction to go.
No matter how complex the maze, she could crack it in no time.
The Announcer closed her eyes as the star chart activated.
The entire area’s structure appeared in her mind, a clear path visible.
After a few seconds, the Announcer opened her eyes with a small smile.
“I found it.”
“That fast?”
Mo Qianmeng was surprised.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed the Announcer wasn’t bound by any domain here, and there were no strange rank markers on her head.
Could it be because of her being a Star Eclipse?
At that moment, a tall figure with white hair appeared between the Announcer and Mo Qianmeng.
In just a breath’s time, that person stood before them.
“Lixie Sister.”
Seeing Ice Lixie unscathed brought some relief to Mo Qianmeng.
Ice Lixie stared directly at the Announcer.
“Who are you?”
“Glad to meet you, Eternal Night Watcher of Qi Yuan City. I am the announcer from the Rising Sun Theater Group. I’m here to assist you in breaking the deadlock. Please take care of me.”
“Announcer huh…”
Lixie didn’t question her much, her imposing aura also subsiding.
Mo Qianmeng asked, “What about the artificial star eclipse that can bring storms?”
“It’s taken care of by me.”
“How fast…”
At this point, Mo Qianmeng noticed the rank marker on Lixie’s head.
Lv??
How did she do it?
Just then, the Announcer spoke, “Respected Eternal Night Watcher, I have found the hiding spot of another artificial star eclipse. You can go and confront it now.”
“Where?”
“In this direction, just head straight for it.”
The Announcer pointed to a direction.
“Alright, thank you.”
The next second, Ice Lixie vanished, kicking up dust.
Standing there, the Announcer looked admiringly toward where Lixie went.
“Not a surprise that she is one of the legendary Guardians. So admirable.”
Mo Qianmeng narrowed her eyes.
“Why do you respect her when you’re both Guardians?”
“Of course it’s different! She is so powerful, while you’re… well, not. Treating them differently isn’t odd, right?”
“Ahh…”
Mo Qianmeng didn’t expect the Announcer to speak so bluntly. She wanted to be angry but held back.
Mo Qianmeng thought the Announcer was just annoying her to watch her squirm. It felt like déjà vu.
“Hold up,”
A sudden idea hit Mo Qianmeng.
“Announcer, do you know Mo Tu?”
“Who is Mo Tu?”
“He’s not ‘who’. He’s the Guardian of Yun Chang City. Given that your fellow Observer knows him, you might as well.”
“Sorry, but if you don’t have anything important, I’ll go find the Observer first.”
With that, the Announcer turned away, leaving Mo Qianmeng stunned.
“This is just…grrr…”
Mo Qianmeng wanted to follow her but realized it was too hasty.
She needed to think of the bigger picture and find other Guardians instead.
Since the base reinforcements haven’t arrived, she needed to gather injured troops, avoid more casualties.
As for what happened with Mo Tu and the Rising Sun Theater…
Mo Qianmeng believed that once she got the dirt from the Observer, she could figure things out.
She thought the Announcer and Mo Tu knew each other somehow.
If not for knowing he was a black-haired man, Mo Qianmeng would’ve assumed the little loli was Mo Tu.
From mannerisms to speech patterns and small expressions, it all matched her memories.
“Whatever.”
Mo Qianmeng turned away and set off to find another Guardian…
…
At the same time,
On the outskirts of the Sunset Research Institute.
A tiny loli sneaked around, almost vanishing into thin air.
“Looks like we found the right spot.”
Night Star looked around, spotting a few figures by the entrance, their gear looked advanced—probably powerful weapons.
Scary.
Even though Night Star thought she was good, she didn’t want to face modern weaponry head-on.
She was still a flesh and bl**d person who could feel pain; not like a Star Eclipse.
“Hmm…”
She pondered a way inside.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration hit. She raised the puppet Little Lian.
“Please, Little Lian.”
Then the puppet’s eyes lit up red, fine threads wrapped around her fingers.
Moments later, the threads dropped down, connecting to the bodies of the guards, taking over control. Their consciousness went into darkness.
Trying to move, Night Star realized the guards were moving as per her thoughts. Quite amusing.
“Ah, I’m enjoying Lianhua’s Star Eclipse.”
By her side, Eypar commented lightly, “Isn’t it time to play?”
“No, I’m just learning how to use this better. In a sense, it’s my first time handling it so precisely.”
Researching it for a few more seconds, Night Star figured it out.
Next, she started controlling the guards, making them open the door.
Swiftly, Night Star moved past the guards and entered the facility.
Inside, Night Star used Existence Interference to sense the Administrator, trying to locate her position.
An instinctive sense led her in no time.
Night Star continued forward, navigating through halls, getting familiar with operating Doll City, taking over patrols effortlessly.
Without knowing how long, she sensed herself edging closer to the Administrator.
That’s when alarms suddenly blared.
“Alert! An intruder is in! Capture the intruder!”
Seems the cameras caught sight of her.
Night Star didn’t pay it any mind, continuing her progress.
Those security forces? She could handle them with Doll City; Little Lian was strong!
In no time, she reached a mechanical door, sensing the Administrator within.
Controlling the threads, she drilled into the door’s seam, forcing entry without permissions.
Violence is king here.
BOOM!
The lab door shattered under the puppet strings, sparking and flashing.
“Administrator Sister! I’m here to save you!”
