"Ding dong—welcome!"
The crisp and sweet electronic sound sounded, Lin Qiye opened the door of the office and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he froze on the spot.
I saw an old woman in her fifties sitting on the sofa in the office store, holding a cane in one hand and reading glasses in the other, dancing and describing something.
"...Ah, let me tell you! My wife, he is so ordinary!
In the past, when he went out with me, he would hold Ou's hand for fear that something might happen to Ou. Since last week, he has been like this!
Him! There must be other girls out there! "
Opposite her, Hongying was holding her cheek, listening attentively, and answering in surprise from time to time:
"Huh? Is he really that extreme?"
"Yeah, I think you are right, grandma!"
"That's too much!"
"Don't worry, our office will take care of this matter!"
"… "
Next to her, Wen Qimo also sat there seriously, maintaining a spring-like smile:
"I think grandma, you are right..."
"I think you are right, Hongying..."
"Yes, I think everything you said is right..."
Seeing Lin Qiye standing at the door blankly, Wen Qimo gave him a look, stood up and followed Lin Qiye to the back of the store.
Hongying was still sitting there, chatting with the old lady happily.
"What... what is going on?"
Entering the basement corridor, Lin Qiye finally couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Normal work?"
"I thought the store up here was just a disguise, but there is actually business?"
"Qiye, you still don't know enough." Wen Qimo patted his shoulder, "Cangnan is a city that is neither big nor small. Mysterious events do happen, but there are only so many in a year. Five or six times.
You think our group of people here, when there are no mysterious events to deal with, except training, we just chat and brag, how boring is it? "
"So, you have also expanded your business of helping people investigate extramarital affairs?" Lin Qiye's expression was very strange, "Are you still an old woman in her fifties?"
"The old man is sixty this year."
"… "
"Look, I usually take on small, painless commissions. I can find something to do and make some extra money at the same time. How great!"
"So..." Lin Qiye said thoughtfully, "In addition to investigating extramarital affairs, do we have any other business?"
"Yes, the business scope is very broad, very broad!" Wen Qimo's eyes lit up. "He helped people rescue kittens and puppies from trees, came to tutor children below junior high school, and provided legal aid to people in need. , rescued abducted children, and sometimes even masked themselves to subdue bank robbers... "
"Wait a minute, isn't this business scope too broad?" Lin Qiye's eyes widened, "You are all competing for rescue, education, law, sexual relations, and even police work?"
"Routine operations."
"I'm suddenly curious, who among you knows the law?"
"Leng Xuan, before he joined the Night Watch, he was a doctor of law at the University of Political Science and Law."
Lin Qiye:?(????)
The two walked to the underground activity space, and Wen Qimo patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, the captain said that when you come, go to the martial arts training ground to find him."
"where?"
"The front corridor goes all the way to the end."
"good."
Lin Qiye walked through the activity room and walked along the corridor.
He didn't pay attention when he came last time. It was only then that Lin Qiye realized how big this underground space was.
There were long corridors and mysterious rooms. Lin Qiye roughly estimated the size of this space. It was definitely as wide as two streets.
Finally, Lin Qiye reached the end of the corridor and was faced with a large iron door.
Lin Qiye pushed the door open and walked in. Inside was a large, bright and spacious martial arts training ground, at least the size of three football fields!
"Did they... dig through the entire bottom of the canal?" Lin Qiye murmured to himself.
Seeing Lin Qiye coming, Chen Muye, who was meditating in the center of the martial arts training ground, opened his eyes and waved to him.
"team leader."
"Well, how do you feel about it here?"
"It feels... the contrast is a bit big." Lin Qiye said truthfully, "It's obviously just an inconspicuous small facade above, but there is such a large space below. It feels like a science fiction movie."
Chen Muye nodded slightly, "This place was built decades ago by a forbidden ruins owner with earth attributes, so such a large project did not disturb the ground at all."
"I see."
"By the way, some of the documents for you to join the Night Watch have arrived and are stored in the archives. If you want to see them, go get them yourself." Chen Muye paused.
"However, your sword, cloak, and coat of arms will not be distributed until you enter the training camp. During this period, you can use this sword first."
Chen Muye handed a straight knife behind him to Lin Qiye. Lin Qiye took it, looked at it, and saw three small characters under the handle.
—Zhao Kongcheng.
"This is..." Lin Qiye looked up in shock.
"Old Zhao's sword." Chen Muye said calmly, "You are the child he chose. If he died in the battle, his sword will be left to you for safekeeping."
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, silently clenching the handle of the knife in his hand, "Okay."
Then, he asked doubtfully: "But, doesn't it mean that I am just a temporary member now? Why do I need a saber?"
"There is still more than a month until the training camp starts. This time cannot be wasted. We have to teach you something." Chen Muye slowly stood up, looked at Lin Qiye, and continued:
"After all, they are members of our 136th team. If they don't perform well in training, they will easily embarrass us."
Lin Qiye:…
For some reason, Lin Qiye suddenly felt like he was being forcibly sent to a cram school by his family elders because of his poor grades...
"Okay, then how should I practice?" Lin Qiye did not hesitate. After all, even if Chen Muye didn't take the initiative, he would ask him to teach him how to fight.
Life is your own.
Being lazy at this time is a slow death.
"Practice swordsmanship with me in the morning, learn how to use it in the Forbidden City with Wen Qimo in the afternoon, and learn guns with Leng Xuan in the evening." Chen Muye took off two bamboo knives from the weapon rack on the side and held them in his hands.
"Pick up the knife, we're going to get started."
Lin Qiye glanced at the straight knife beside him and said in surprise: "Captain, this is a real knife!"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Muye walked towards Lin Qiye with his two swords expressionlessly, "Anyway, the result is the same."
For some reason, Lin Qiye's heart tightened, and she had a vague premonition.
He picked up the fixed knife on the ground, took it out of its sheath, and took a deep breath.
"Captain, I'm going."
Chen Muye nodded, "Come on, come on."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed, he clenched the handle of the knife, and ran towards Chen Muye quickly!
Three seconds later, his screams echoed throughout the basement...
