In a daze, Lin Qiye opened his eyes.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment before slowly getting up from the bed. Although his head was still a bit heavy, he felt much better than before.

Is this… Hong Ying’s house?

Having lived here for over a month, Lin Qiye naturally recognized the room in front of him. He rubbed his temples and then got out of bed.

Creak.

He pushed open the door and saw a group of people already sitting in the villa’s living room.

Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, Hong Ying, Wen Qimo, Si Xiaonan, Instructor Hong…

Upon hearing Lin Qiye’s door open, everyone looked up. Hong Ying’s face darkened, and she slapped Wu Xiangnan on the back of his head!

“Speak more quietly! You woke up Qiye now, didn’t you?”

Wu Xiangnan: ???

“Qiye, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah, I’m fine…” Lin Qiye walked down the stairs, puzzled, and asked, “How did I end up here?”

“You overexerted yourself mentally in a short period, causing you to faint,” Chen Muye shifted to the right on the sofa, making room, “Later, Hong Ying and Qimo arrived in time and brought you back from the car.”

Sitting down next to Chen Muye, Lin Qiye looked at Instructor Hong with confusion.

“I dropped off the new recruits and went straight to Captain Chen. Since they were coming here, I followed along,” Instructor Hong smiled and continued, “Qiye, you saved everyone in the car this time. I will report this achievement for you. If all goes well, getting a medal shouldn’t be a problem.”

“A medal?”

“The Night Watchman’s merit system is different from the military camp. You’ll find out later.”

“Oh…” Lin Qiye nodded, furrowing his brow, “But why were we attacked by missiles? Shouldn’t that be under military control? Who would want to attack us?”

Instructor Hong and Chen Muye exchanged a glance, and the latter helplessly spoke, “They didn’t attack you. Their target was only you, or that little fatty.”

“The Ancient God Church?” Lin Qiye wasn’t stupid. Wang Mian had warned him before that as the agent of the Seraph, he would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Ancient God Church. Moreover, now he was both the agent of the Seraph and the Night Goddess, an unprecedented dual-agent!

The Ancient God Church couldn’t contain themselves and taking measures against him was only natural.

“From the current situation, they should be involved,” Instructor Hong nodded, “We just received information from the military. The No. 39 missile launch base has fallen, but the majority of the missiles require a dual key. In theory, even if the launch base falls, they cannot be launched without central authorization.

However, there were five missiles under repair, so only a single key was activated, and they took advantage of that.”

“Was it the work of the Ancient God Church?”

“When our people arrived at the scene, they found a large number of broken stone statues and flesh, as well as a snake eye painted with blood…”

“Stone statues and a snake eye?” Lin Qiye thought for a moment, “Medusa?”

“Yes, it should be the agent of Medusa who recently joined the Ancient God Church, codenamed ‘Snake Woman.’”

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “So, this vacation was actually for…”

“To protect the new recruits,” Instructor Hong said, “Their target is simply you or Baili Tuming. Sending you out of the training camp under the guise of a holiday not only disperses the targets, avoiding unnecessary casualties to other new recruits, but also shifts from light to dark, hiding you away so they can’t continue to use large-scale weapons.

Moreover… the current training camp may not be as secure as it seems.”

Lin Qiye sighed deeply, “I understand. No wonder they ended the physical training early, released our Forbidden Ruin, and allowed us to carry weapons out of camp…”

“Anyway, you need to be careful in the next few days, and… try to go out more.”

Lin Qiye was taken aback.

In theory, he and Baili Pangpang, as the primary targets, should be well hidden and not leave unless absolutely necessary, so why…

“You want to use me to lure them out?” Lin Qiye suddenly understood the key point.

“Exactly, simply evading is not the solution. Since they’ve endured for over five months, they can continue to endure and drag it out with us…

They can drag it out, but we can’t.

So, we must use these four days of vacation to clear them all out!”

Instructor Hong continued, “But you don’t need to worry too much. We’ve already dispersed some absolutely trustworthy instructors into the city to protect you in secret. And Director Yuan, as a strong figure in the ‘Sea’ realm, is also in control of the overall situation at all times. They won’t be able to cause any major trouble.”

Hong Ying stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “Don’t be afraid, little brother Qiye. With us here, no one can hurt you!”

“Right now, Leng Xuan is somewhere, holding a sniper rifle and guarding the area. Nothing can escape his eyes,” Wen Qimo smiled.Lin Qiye was momentarily stunned, then a smile crept onto his face. “Actually, I can hold my own in a fight now.”

“And what about Baili Tuming? Where did he go?” Lin Qiye turned to look at Instructor Hong.

“After he got off, he headed straight for the five-star hotel in Cangnan. I heard the butler has already booked a room for him… Oh right, he asked me to tell you, the room number is 9039. He wants you to visit him when you’re free.”

“…Got it.”

“Alright, since everyone’s okay, I’ll head back to the camp first.” Instructor Hong stood up and addressed everyone in the room.

Lin Qiye, surprised, asked, “Wasn’t the training camp blown up?”

“With Commander Yuan there, nothing will happen to the training camp. But we do need to catch the mole quickly…” Instructor Hong waved at Lin Qiye, “I’ll see you back at the training camp.”

“Mhm.”

After Instructor Hong left, Chen Muye also slowly stood up. As if he had thought of something, he turned to Lin Qiye and said:

“Qiye, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. Do you have any plans?”

Lin Qiye looked up, his eyes briefly lighting up, then, as if remembering something, they dimmed again.

“None.”

“Then join Hong Ying and the others to buy groceries tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night, come to the office for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” Chen Muye walked over to Lin Qiye, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “I’ll cook.”

Lin Qiye was taken aback, then smiled again and nodded.

“Captain, aren’t you staying to protect Qiye?” Hong Ying pouted, sounding somewhat displeased.

“With you, Xiao Nan, and Leng Xuan here, what’s there for me to worry about? Besides, the office isn’t far from here. If something happens, I can come over with a knife. And besides… is there a place for me to stay here?” Chen Muye said helplessly.

“People need to grow up, Hong Ying. You can’t always protect Lin Qiye.” Wu Xiangnan also stood up, “One day, he will leave this place and become a strong man who can stand on his own. Too much protection now might not be a good thing.”

“Hmph, just lazy!” Hong Ying made a face at Wu Xiangnan.

Wu Xiangnan simply ignored Hong Ying’s provocation and walked straight to Lin Qiye, patting his arm and smiling.

“Good lad, you’ve gotten stronger!”

After saying that, he waved to Lin Qiye and followed Chen Muye out of the villa.

Suddenly, he turned back, looking at Wen Qimo who hadn’t moved from the sofa.

“Why aren’t you leaving?”

Wen Qimo spoke seriously, “I can share a bed with Lin Qiye and protect him closely!”

Ps: I went to see the doctor today, it might be neuritis caused by anxiety. Anyway, Tuming will rest for a few days, and for now, I can only rely on the backlog of chapters…

Considering the backlog is running low, starting today, there will be two chapters a day.

Once Tuming recovers, I will make up for it. Please understand~
