Lin Qiye's expression became increasingly strange as he looked at Wen Qimo.
Wen Qimo chuckled and said, "I'm just joking with you. I saw that you were too depressed in there, so I asked you to relax."
He looked into Lin Qiye's eyes, his gaze gradually softening, "After all, no one who witnessed such a tragic battle would be able to come out of it easily, not to mention that you are just a high school student."
Lin Qiye was stunned.
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Wen Qimo was right. Even Lin Qiye himself didn’t notice how bad his mental state was now.
After witnessing the death of Zhao Kongcheng in battle, and fighting the Ghost Face King alone, he left the small broken harbor where he had lived for more than ten years and joined the strange and dangerous Night Watch alone...
Although he is relatively mature, at heart, he is still just a teenager.
With such a huge change, the pressure on his back has made him unable to breathe.
"When I was sitting there just now, I noticed that you were in a very bad state. In fact, it was not just me, Hongying also noticed it, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to invite you to stay at her house temporarily, and would not have suppressed the sadness in her heart and laughed while arguing with the captain and the deputy captain.
You just arrived and are not familiar with her yet. When you get familiar with her, you will find out...
She is so kind."
Lin Qiye was stunned. He still remembered the scene when Hongying burst into tears when he walked out in the rain holding Zhao Kongcheng. Now thinking back to Hongying's faint smile just now, it seemed to hide a deep sadness.
But... since she is already so sad, why does she still care about my feelings
"In fact, it's not just me and Hongying. Except for Xiangnan, the stubborn one, and Lengxuan, the icy one, everyone else has noticed it, but the captain is a bit arrogant and can only secretly use Hongying to liven up the atmosphere. Xiaonan is too shy to speak up."
Wen Qimo turned around and continued to climb the stairs, speaking slowly:
"Maybe before you came here, you thought the Night's Watch were a group of mechanical and cold killing machines, but after you stay here for a long time, you will find that this is not the case..."
Lin Qiye followed Wen Qimo to the first floor, walked through the disguised office lobby, and pushed the door open.
At this time, it was already late at night.
The bustling Heping Bridge was now quiet and deserted. Rainwater was still on the ground from the recent rain. On the entire Heping Bridge street, only the Heping Office was still open for business.
"Before coming here, I thought the Night Watch was a large organization located in a deserted military restricted area with planes and tanks parked inside, and military exercises were held from time to time." Lin Qiye looked at the quiet street scene and spoke slowly.
Wen Qimo was stunned, turned to look at Lin Qiye, and couldn't help laughing, "What a coincidence, I thought the same thing before I joined the Night Watch. Who told me that's how it's played out in those science fiction movies?"
He looked up at the hazy moonlight in the sky. "However, although there are no military restricted areas, planes and tanks, the Night Watch is indeed a large organization."
"Why are there only six people here?"
"The Night Watch is different from military forces." Wen Qimo shook his head. "The centralized management of the military restricted area you mentioned is easy to manage and efficient, but it still has a fatal flaw... It is too low in mobility.
For example, today a mythical creature appeared in our Cangnan City. After the local police confirmed it, they sent information to the base in Shangjing City, and then the base reviewed it and sent people to Cangnan City to investigate. It would take at least two days to start the investigation.
And many people may die in these two days.
Therefore, the best solution is to station a team of night watchmen in each city. When traces of suspected mythical creatures are found in the city, the stationed team will go directly to investigate and resolve the issue.
And we are the Night Watch team stationed in Cangnan City."
Lin Qiye was thoughtful, "No wonder the division of labor among you is so clear, each of you has your own strengths."
"That's right. From the main combat force, to combat assistance, to long-range support, to commanding the overall situation... everyone has their own strengths and can cooperate with each other. This is the standard model of every garrison team."
"What if a city is infested with mythical creatures that the local Night's Watch can't handle?"
"Then ask the higher-ups for special team support." Wen Qimo held up four fingers. "In Daxia, in addition to the night watchmen stationed in each city, there are four special teams. They are not stationed in any city, but when a city encounters a dilemma that the local night watchmen cannot resolve, they will go there.
They don't have team numbers, only their own 'code names', which are the glory that belongs only to this special team. "
"Special team..." Lin Qiye asked curiously, "Have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but two years ago, three mythical creatures from the 'sea' realm appeared simultaneously in the neighboring Huaihai City, nearly causing a disaster.
Later, a six-member special team codenamed "Mask" suddenly appeared and wiped them out in just one night! "
A trace of yearning appeared in Wen Qimo's eyes. "It is said that when the sun rose the next day, the blood of the mythical creatures dyed the bay red, and the 'Masked' team had quietly headed to the next city."
"That sounds kind of cool."
"right?"
"What are their requirements for recruiting people?"
"Of course there are, and they are very demanding." Wen Qimo sighed, "First of all, the members of the special team must be at least at the peak of the 'Chuan' realm."
"The peak of the 'Chuan' realm... Then what is the highest realm among the six of you?"
"He is the captain. He is also in the 'Chuan' realm, but he is still a long way from the peak." Wen Qimo continued: "Moreover, if you want to join the special team, it is not enough to have a realm, you also need to be 'special'."
"What's the peculiarity?"
"He is different from other Night Watchmen, for example, he has a high-risk Forbidden Ruins Sequence, the top 80; or he has reached the pinnacle in a certain field, such as a sword master or a knives master; or... he is an agent of a certain god."
"God's agent? Is this considered special?"
"… What kind of lewd words are you saying?" Wen Qimo glanced at Lin Qiye, his eyes full of envy, "Just because you are a Seraph agent, do you think that God agents are everywhere like cabbages?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Qiye asked blankly.
"Of course not!!" Wen Qimo had never seen anyone so shameless. "The agents of God who stand on the side of mankind are an extremely rare species. In the entire Night's Watch, there are only eight or nine of them. They are basically distributed in various special teams, or they are the captains of the Night's Watch in a big city. They are extremely important figures!
Damn, I envy you, kid."
Wen Qimo rarely cursed, and sighed helplessly, "You have great potential. When you grow up, this small city of Cangnan will not be able to accommodate you...
Maybe in the future, you will become the captain of the night watch stationed in Shangjing City, or join a special team and travel around the world. It is not impossible to become the captain of a special team.
In short, your future is limitless."
