Chapter 32: Successful Defection
It’s not just about Bai Yu and Doll City.
Mo Rabbit even brought up Kong Yu Bai’s incident.
And then there was Ye Lan convincing the Dream Narrator to leave the capital.
To make matters worse, she mentioned defeating the three original Star Eclipses.
All in an effort to boost credibility.
Though some parts were Ye Star’s achievements, both Ye Lan and Ye Star are essentially one person, so it’s not really a problem to say it together.
Besides, all these Star Eclipses know nothing about the outside world, so there’s no risk of exposing secrets.
The worst that could happen would be getting sealed up again.
As for the best outcome… it depends on whether that little Loli is willing to take over this mess.
If she knew how much of a headache she caused, she’d probably pout like a hamster and come looking for someone to vent her frustration to.
Anyway, she’ll probably end up being the savior at the last minute, and she’d definitely use the opportunity to make someone owe her.
Since she’ll eventually get in trouble anyway, might as well give her something nice to start with.
If the Star Eclipses from the Hero Cemetery can be utilized, they’ll be an incredibly powerful force.
Ye Lan won’t be able to complete her goals in the Night Watchers organization just by having popularity and power.
She can’t rely on the Rising Sun Theater Group either and has to depend on the forces she can present to the Night Watchers.
The Star Eclipses from the Hero Cemetery seem like a good choice.
Not only have plenty of Night Watchers supported her, but many of them are orderly too.
No matter how those big shots try to sabotage her, they won’t be able to stand against such overwhelming support.
Even the Leader might get sidelined.
What do the higher-ups even matter?
“Haha!”
Mo Rabbit smiled and continued spinning tales for these Star Eclipses.
While it was a bit exhausting, there seemed to be no other option.
Compared to those unknown original Star Eclipses, Ye Lan makes a much better leader for these Star Eclipses.
This is what you call defection, right?
God knows how long had passed.
But Mo Rabbit seemed genuinely enjoying the storytelling session.
There wasn’t a notable concept of time in this space, so who knows how much time had actually passed.
As Mo Rabbit kept pouring out the charm of Ye Lan, more and more Star Eclipses gathered around.
It looked like almost all the Star Eclipses from the Hero Cemetery had shown up.
From where she stood, there were probably hundreds of them, quite a shocking number indeed.
Considering this isn’t the Night Watchers but Star Eclipses, their uniqueness is deeply ingrained in the Night Watchers’ common knowledge.
The contamination from the Star Eclipses can mix and build up.
In other words, without the top-notch experts from the headquarters stepping in, the capital could fall into chaos within just one day.
And that unknown first-generation Star Eclipse holds that kind of power, controlling these Star Eclipses, who knows what they’re up to.
Now it might be the second day of Mo Rabbit’s stay in the Star Eclipse Nation, and outside it’s Wednesday.
Mo Rabbit didn’t know when she stopped narrating or when she said everything she could say.
Those Star Eclipses had already dismissed her and were discussing with each other about Ye Lan.
Standing next to Mo Rabbit were Hu Jiuge and Yan Jue.
They were also drawn to the legendary Ye Lan.
“Are you telling the truth? Does this girl Ye Lan really exist? Is she truly a holder of an extraordinary star affiliated with the Night Watchers organization? She can get along well with Star Eclipses, even eliminate their contamination, and turn them back into humans?!?”
Yan Jue repeated this question multiple times.
Each time, he shook Mo Rabbit by the shoulders excitedly, as if he could shake her bones loose, showing no mercy.
After all, she’s still just a frail little Loli.
“It’s true, I swear it with my obsession.”
For Star Eclipses, obsession is their raison d’être.
In human terms, it’s like making an oath with one’s life, which is considered very serious indeed.
Even though Mo Rabbit isn’t a Star Eclipse, she is very sincere.
Yan Jue’s pupils dilated abruptly.
Despite confirming it multiple times already, he couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Mo Rabbit understands the profound significance of Ye Lan to the Star Eclipses.
Firstly, she can interact with Star Eclipses without fearing contamination.
Secondly, she is extremely friendly towards Star Eclipses, never viewing them as threats, and she even befriends a group of them.
Lastly, she can eliminate the contamination defects, preventing unintentional harm to humans.
All these things are extremely important.
It suggests that even they might find fulfillment.
Being sealed away, enslaved by an unknown Star Eclipse here, is far inferior to being guided out of darkness by Ye Lan!
This is correct.
She’s the savior of the Star Eclipses, and their final line of defense!
Hu Jiuge murmured to herself.
“Can she create a world without injury?”
Mo Rabbit gazed at her for a moment, feeling somewhat conflicted.
“All I can say is, the likelihood of her success is higher than yours,” she replied with a sigh.
“That means my belief shield will protect her until the end. My will shall be steadfast for her, and I shall exist for her.”
Hu Jiuge’s message was clear.
As an Ultra Star Eclipse, she intends to entrust her obsession to her, changing her purpose to safeguarding that person.
As long as that person acts on her obsession, Hu Jiuge will support her through anything.
She’s effectively putting herself under Mo Rabbit in the dark.
Mo Rabbit found herself unsure of what to say.
After all, they hadn’t met yet, nor did they know for sure, yet such a crucial decision was made.
Star Eclipses, in a way, are just big dumbasses driven by their obsessions.
It’s quite ridiculous, really.
“Hahaha!”
Mo Rabbit laughed in disbelief.
Come to think of it, she’d been talking for so long she was getting hungry.
She’s still human after all, despite having some characteristics of a Star Eclipse.
Staying here too long wouldn’t be ideal.
Taking a look at the chatting Star Eclipses, Mo Rabbit figured it was time.
She’s not the type to drag things out.
The sooner, the better.
“So, what do you make of this? I’m not lying here. If you don’t believe me, go ask any Night Watcher. Ye Lan is someone worth your allegiance, much better than the unknown Star Eclipse hiding in the shadows.”
Yan Jue sneered.
“We’ve never followed any hidden guy. She just decided we were citizens, ruling us in name but lacking action. Of course, we’re not going to follow her orders, staying here only because we fear harming people outside with our contamination.”
Other Star Eclipses chimed in, agreeing completely.
Their origin as Night Watchers mean they don’t have a sudden impulse to harm humans even after turning into Star Eclipses.
Following a strange Star Eclipse?
That’s not happening.
If the current Leader became a Star Eclipse upon d*ath and came to lead them instead, it might be different.
Otherwise, a stranger Star Eclipse can’t control them anyway.
Mo Rabbit found herself rolling on the floor laughing.
Getting the Star Eclipse crowd riled up is easier than she thought.
“Then it seems I was worried for nothing. I’ll lead you all in a rebellion then! Overturn this so-called Star Eclipse Nation and seek real followers!”
