Creak!
The door of the auditorium was opened again, and Lin Qiye walked out slowly, holding the black box.
Hongying, who was sitting on the stairs nearby, saw Lin Qiye coming out and waved her hand with a smile, "Done?"
"Um."
"That's good." Hongying nodded, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "By the way... why didn't you let me take action?"
"He was my classmate. Killing him with my own hands was also an explanation to him." Lin Qiye said calmly.
Hongying was stunned. "Killing him with my own hands... is also considered an explanation? What kind of theory is this?"
Si Xiaonan glanced at him and whispered: "Pervert..."
Of course Lin Qiye was talking nonsense. He was afraid that if Hongying took action, she would kill the snake demon with one shot. In this way, he would not be able to finish off the snake demon, and Li Yifei would not be able to be reborn in the Hospital of the Gods.
"However, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I would have been fooled by that thing. I'll give you first-class merit when I go back this time!" Hongying gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.
"What should we do with these students inside?" Lin Qiye pointed to the auditorium behind him.
"Let them stay in there for now. Someone will come and use [Dream Whisper] to erase all memories of the snake demon and you, and then create a dream for them."
"How do you explain the dead students?" Lin Qiye couldn't help asking, "Besides, you blasted through a building."
"That's not something we should worry about. There will be a special department to handle it and explain everything reasonably, such as laboratory explosions, large fires, terrorists blowing up schools, alien invasions, etc..."
"… Are you sure that last one makes sense?"
"More reasonable than the mythical advent."
"Too."
Hongying pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, "It's just... too many students sacrificed, it's all my fault..."
"Sister Hongying, how can you be blamed for this? Most of the students died because they were already planted with snake seeds... If it weren't for you, there would be even more casualties." Si Xiaonan comforted her, glanced at Lin Qiye again, and whispered:
"And you, although I don't want to admit it, you are really amazing..."
Lin Qiye: …
"By the way, I met a very smart guy this time, and he seems to be very interested in mythical creatures. Can we recruit him into the Night's Watch?" Lin Qiye seemed to remember something and turned to Hongying and said.
This was the request that An Qingyu had just made to him in the auditorium.
Hongying hesitated for a moment, then said carefully: "Qiye, the Night Watch... you can't join just by being smart, this profession is very dangerous... do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Qiye nodded slightly and did not try to persuade him further.
Making this request on behalf of An Qingyu was already the limit of what he could do. After all, he himself was just a temporary member who had not officially joined the Night's Watch. Since he had been rejected, it would be bad for him to continue to pester him.
"Let's go, it's time to pack up." Hongying stood up from the stairs, put the black box containing the rifle on her back, and walked towards the door.
Lin Qiye looked back at the auditorium and followed.
In the auditorium.
An Qingyu, who had been standing behind the door, looked dim.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the corpse of the Nanda snake demon not far away.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind.
The light flashed in his eyes again!
…
Outside the school gate.
Next to the black van, two men were leaning against the door, silently gazing at the quiet campus.
One of them heard a hum in his earphone, and Chen Muye's eyebrows slightly raised.
"It's over, they're coming out."
Wu Xiangnan's face turned black, "Why did she only tell you and not me?"
"I am the captain."
"I'm still the vice captain!"
"Who told you to always go against Hongying?"
"I'm just following the rules."
"You're too rigid." Chen Muye shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "So, Hongying is still closer to me."
"… This isn't about whether the child is closer to the father or the mother. Why is your tone so weird?" Wu Xiangnan rolled his eyes.
"That's pretty much the same idea."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Muye spoke again.
"I heard that Lin Qiye performed particularly well this time."
"yes."
"You said... this is his first time completing a mission, shouldn't we show some appreciation?"
"for example?"
"Hang up a banner or something, and then make him a cake when I get back."
"… "Wu Xiangnan sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like you are a parent who is about to pick up a child who got the top score in the grade. You can almost write the word pride on your face..."
"Really? I feel pretty good."
At this moment, Wen Qimo, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but roll down the window and complained: "I say you two are really enough. You just completed a mission and picked them up, why are you making so much drama..."
"Where's Leng Xuan?"
"I don't know. He has been missing for a long time."
"All right… "
Just as they were arguing, three figures slowly walked out of the school gate. Hongying saw the two people beside the car from a distance, jumped up with a smile and waved to them.
Si Xiaonan thought about it, secretly wiped the blood off Lin Qiye's body and rubbed it on her face. Like a cat, she held her head high and her face seemed to say "I'm not paddling!"
Lin Qiye was carrying a black box, his school uniform was soaked in blood, and it was almost unrecognizable. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, with a smile on his lips.
"Are you hurt?" Chen Muye waited for Lin Qiye to come to him and asked.
"No." Lin Qiye shook his head.
"how do you feel?"
"It feels..." Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "It's simpler than I thought."
Chen Muye smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay, get in the car, it's time to go back."
"Captain! Why don't you ask me!" Hongying asked with her hands on her hips, pouting.
"You?" Wu Xiangnan glanced at her. "It's good enough that you didn't demolish the school. Why am I asking you?"
Hongying glared at Wu Xiangnan, gnashing her teeth in anger, "Did I ask you? You're not the captain!"
"I am the captain, although I am the deputy."
"The deputy doesn't count!"
"Of course."
"No!!"
"… "
…
Click.
A crisp shutter sound was heard, and a photo was developed from the bottom of the telescope and carefully picked up by a hand.
On a tall building not far away, Leng Xuan sat on the edge of the rooftop, gently shaking the photo in his hand, and the picture on it became clearer and clearer.
The breeze blew through his bangs, and he looked down at the photo in his hand, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"This one... is also a nice shot."
He put the photo into the box and kept it close to his body as if it were a treasure, then stood up from the rooftop.
He carried the sniper rifle on his shoulder and walked into the night.
