Chapter 64: The Star Eclipse Aggregate
“Performing Observer, why are you here?”
Upon hearing this, Night Star replied, “I heard you were abducted by bad guys, so I came to save you.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you.”
The administrator’s gaze drifted off.
If this had happened decades earlier, she probably wouldn’t have felt this hopeless.
But alas, those times were filled with endless loneliness and helplessness for her.
Peaceful living is now shattered once again. The administrator doesn’t know if there will be another time and doesn’t want to experience this again.
Her obsession had long solidified; if it’s not resolved, surviving in hiding holds no meaning.
She seems to have no future to look forward to anymore.
“Performing Observer, I beg of you to grant my wish.”
“Huh?”
Night Star didn’t expect the administrator to still have wishes on her mind.
“Mm, go on.”
“Please let me vanish.”
“What did you say?”
Night Star was momentarily stunned, thinking she must have heard wrong.
The administrator calmly repeated herself.
“Let me disappear, end my eternal lifespan. This… this is my obsession.”
Meanwhile.
In the lab, a researcher who was knocked out by the Gentleman’s star eclipse effect struggled to his feet, leaning against the operating table.
“d*mn you, Rising Sun Theater Group! How dare you destroy our research institute… If you’re so bold, then come at us directly!”
He used special authorization to access the ultimate control panel and prepare a final measure.
A prominent red button glowed on the control panel, marked with a danger symbol. It looked like something you shouldn’t touch.
Strange light flickered in the researcher’s eyes.
The star eclipse-infected mind couldn’t suppress its dark side any longer.
Thinking about anything else became impossible. He just wanted to vent his rage and retaliate against these intruders!
So what if it’s the Rising Sun Theater Group?
They too have powerful and dangerous cards strong enough to obliterate anything.
Once unleashed, the city might be destroyed, even the Night Watchers couldn’t stop it.
This is because something perilous was sealed beneath the lab.
In history, the Sunset Research Institute captured many star eclipses. Many were used for research and experiments, but not all yielded results.
Some failures couldn’t be reused after their initial try. Not all test subjects have invincible bodies; none of the experiments can break them.
These failures were tossed below the lab, accumulating over time.
One day, the researchers discovered that these failures showed signs of combining into an uncontrollable monster.
Thus, the institute sealed them with star technology, yet still left them to mix with some strange entity down below.
As time passed, the failures piled up, increasing in number.
The energy emanating from below the lab became stronger, forcing the institute to pour more energy into containing it.
Now nobody knows how terrifying the sealed being is.
The institute doesn’t want to unleash the creature they created themselves, as it could flatten the entire place.
It’s doomsday now.
A large number of Night Watchers are closing in, possibly ready to strike them down completely.
And the dangerous Rising Sun Theater Group has invaded the institute, stealing back the highest experiment specimen.
Two artificial star eclipses aren’t enough to handle this situation.
Since that’s the case, let’s d*e together!
The tainted researcher cackled madly, preparing to press the high-level button.
Just then, someone swooped in behind him, smashing a mechanical device onto his head.
Bang! The researcher’s eyes rolled back, and he slumped forward, unconscious.
Behind him, a middle-aged man clapped his hands with a cute, girlish expression.
“Hmph. Trying to sneak around after getting up. You were up to no good, for sure. Luckily, I was watching from above or you would’ve gotten away with it.”
A ghost girl floated out of the man — Eypar.
Eypar placed her hand on her chin, pondering.
“So I’m not just a decorative object, nor am I slacking off. In a crucial moment, I should be pretty useful.”
Yet just then, Eypar noticed something and glanced toward where the man had fallen, spotting a blinking button on the control panel showing “Operation Successful.”
“Oh, what does this mean?”
She made a puzzled ‘?’ on top of her head.
Quickly after, intense vibrations shook the institute.
Bam!
In the meantime.
Over by Ice Lixie…
Lie still on the ground was an artificial star eclipse called the ‘Regional Rule,’ devoid of life.
“The two artificial stars have been defeated…”
The rules are gone.
The grade marker on Ice Lixie’s head vanished entirely, and the region’s maze paths returned to normal.
Frontline Night Watchers and their base reestablished communications, reporting the current status.
Inside the base.
Black Yang scrutinized the screen in front of him and asked Ice Lixie on the other end of the comm, “What’s the situation?”
“We successfully eliminated the two artificial stars; casualties on our side are unknown.”
Soon, Mo Qianmeng’s voice chimed in.
“We had 48 Night Watchers severely injured and 23 lightly wounded. Twenty are in critical condition requiring immediate treatment.”
“An emergency medical team is en route. Stay put.”
After gathering the information, Black Yang observed the time and sky, noticing dawn approaching soon.
Perhaps this incident won’t require his involvement; Ice Lixie alone might handle it.
So the only thing left is dealing with that self-destructive Sunset Research Institute.
Whatever the case, Black Yang must expunge it from Quit Yuan City.
No negotiations possible.
However, just then, an alarm blared inside the base.
“Alert! Alert! A large number of star eclipses appear! Number unknown, extreme danger level! All Night Watchers deploy for extermination!”
At this, Black Yang paused slightly.
Is this not over yet?
What new creation did the institute unleash?
The scene shifts.
The announcer, walking towards the institute, squinted and frowned.
“They actually bred such an aberration? A conglomeration of numerous star eclipses, an embodiment of an unstable calamity, brimming with negative emotions, driven by a destructive urge. They can hardly be considered star eclipses anymore.”
Star eclipses are formed when star holders transform due to abnormalities into star eclipse manifestations fueled by profound obsessions.
That monster embodies numerous star eclipses’ obsessions and powers, like mixing too many colors, becoming pitch black.
To put it another way, it’s a dangerous entity.
“Ah well, let’s go take a look; nothing beats being close for the best show.”
