"The Night Watchman Monument houses the spirits of many of our ancestors. District Chief Xiong and I were once Night Watchmen, so the Night Watchmen who stayed here and had their names engraved on them are also our ancestors."
In front of the largest monument, Luo Juya bowed deeply.
She had never concealed her identity as a Night Watchman. Rather than becoming a disadvantage for her as she headed towards the Upper City, this became an advantage.
Being a night watchman in the lower city, it is easier for him to gain recognition from other novice night watchmen.
They all recognized Luo Juya's ability and strength.
Of course, there were some people who had doubts, but those who had doubts basically died in the mission, what a pity!
"Senior, I'm back." Luo Juya murmured.
The people she missed were indeed buried here, her predecessors, her mentors, and the teammates and friends she cared about.
But people always change, and she is changing too. The past will always be the past. In this chaotic era, if you can't keep moving forward, then all that awaits you is failure and death.
"Please worship here. I'll give you 20 minutes."
"yes."
The night watchmen behind him dispersed one after another, looking for and paying tribute to their ancestors and friends.
If there are no friends buried here, these night watchmen will often pay their respects in front of the tombstones and pray for good luck on the next mission, hoping that these ancestors can bless them with a safe journey.
This is a normal thought, everyone has it.
After instructing the night watchmen to disperse, Luo Juya herself began to circle the monument.
On a not-so-big monument, she saw a name.
Xiacheng District-B6-Baijing
Bai Jing's ability is unquestionable, but unfortunately, her talent is really poor.
In order to improve her own strength, she has achieved the ultimate of an ordinary warrior, and she has even reached the highest point of an ordinary warrior.
But that’s where it stops.
"Bai Jing... I remember she was Xu Le's guide."
Luo Juya would always think of Xu Le unconsciously, and she didn't quite understand why she always thought of the dead person.
Is it just because the other person left a deep impression on you
After all, such a talent is indeed worth remembering, but it's a pity that he could have been a very good subordinate, or even a collaborator...
"Haha, when did I become so sentimental? I'm just a passerby."
Luo Juya waved her hand. Whether it was Bai Jing or Xu Le, just as she said, they were just passers-by.
There may not be many such shining new stars, but she will always meet a few in her life.
She herself was once such a rising star, but only those who survived in the end would become the jewel in the crown.
"Go see those old friends."
Luo Juya was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. What was that feeling
The throbbing of life
No, it's the throbbing of fate!
Is Gu Yin a person with many destinies
Luo Juya felt around for the other party, but the other party seemed to have appeared suddenly and then suddenly left and disappeared.
"Is it an illusion?"
Luo Juya did not experience the throbbing of fate many times. The more obvious ones were the first time he met Xu Le and the two times when Chi Xiao came to the lighthouse.
The feeling is indescribable, and I don’t know if it is pleasure or something else.
In short, once someone with the same destiny appears, her heart energy will become excited.
Emotions also become less controllable.
So Luo Juya really wanted to meet that person. Who was it among the seven people? Was it the old hands, or Xiong Nuoan? Or was it the newcomer, Duolei
"strangeness."
Luo Juya lowered his head and walked past a tall and thin man in black.
At first she was still immersed in her own thoughts and didn't realize it, but after a few seconds she suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Why are there still people coming to the monument at this hour?"
The reason why she and this team of night watchmen appeared here was because they had to carry out a mission soon, so they came to pay their respects in advance.
It's already past 11 o'clock, how could a normal person be here
Luo Juya looked back and saw that the tall and thin man was just a background.
Luo Juya subconsciously thought of Xu Le, but there are still differences between the two.
Although they are about the same height, Xu Le is definitely not as strong as the man in front of him. The muscles on his arms are clearly visible, so he must be a warrior.
"Maybe he's a retired night watchman." Luo Juya had some impression of this person's back, but couldn't remember who he was.
Returning to the original road, Luo Juya continued walking towards his former teammates.
She walked slowly, her fingertips brushing against the side of the monument, rubbed the dust off her fingertips, and put them to her nose to smell it.
The smell of dust mixed with burning paper had become very light and white.
Luo Juya shook her head slightly:
"Recently, fewer people come here to visit the graves."
He came to the monument of his former teammates and the deceased captain and bowed gently.
"Captain, here I come again."
Luo Juya's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that she still remembered her past teammates.
Just like Xu Le and the others, this is a time worth remembering.
Gently stroking the stone tablet, Luo Juya remembered his old friend.
But since when, the surroundings seemed to become a little quieter.
There was an inexplicable rustling sound from the stone tablet, as if a ladybug or a large mosquito were flapping its wings beside the ear, and the air seemed to become thicker and stickier.
Luo Juya held onto the stone tablet and covered his head.
She didn't know what was going on, was it an illness? Or some special attack from a warlock
It seems that I don't feel the threat, but in this situation, I can clearly hear my own breathing, and it sounds heavy. Why is that
Time seemed to be stretched out.
Luo Juya turned her head, and she could even see the Night Watch members she brought with her, who were offering sacrifices.
This person seemed to sense Luo Juya's gaze and quickly turned around to greet him:
"Madam Juya, what's the matter?"
"Uh, it's okay, just do your thing."
Luo Juya seemed very kind. Everything he had today was not easy to come by. One had to carefully manage his image when working outside.
Originally these were not her character, but after a long time and persisting, she could no longer remember what her original character was like.
Human hearts are inherently complex.
"I feel a little uncomfortable."
Luo Juya rubbed his forehead again, and the corner of his eye caught sight of the words on the stone tablet.
The names recorded on the stone tablet suddenly twisted at this moment.
They began to swim on the memorial stone like little tadpoles.
Luo Juya took a step back suddenly. She subconsciously thought that this was some kind of magical attack, but why couldn't she feel any energy fluctuations from the magic at all
In panic, Luo Juya shook his head, and the stone tablet in front of him had returned to normal.
"No, it can't be an illusion. It's impossible for illusions to appear continuously like this."
Every strong person trusts his or her intuition, but intuition has no logic at all.
Luo Juya's intuition told her that something might have gone wrong.
But she still hasn't found what the problem is.
"Gather." Luo Juya interrupted the worship and called on others to prepare to gather.
"yes."
Although the members of the Night Watch did not know why Luo Juya suddenly interrupted the worship, no one could disobey Mrs. Juya's orders.
Soon, a team of night watchmen gathered in front of the monument's gate.
"The mission is advanced. Night Watch Team 6, prepare to depart."
"yes."
Their mission today is to deal with a defector from the wealthy area of downtown. It is said that this family is a spy connected to the Red Moon Temple.
For ordinary Night Watchmen, the identity of a Red Moon Temple spy is the most abominable.
So tonight, it's going to be a massacre.
The new Night Watch Team 6 was ready to get on the bus, but when they saw Luo Juya was about to catch up, the captain of Team 6 quickly dissuaded them:
"Madam Ju Ya, leave this matter to us. You don't have to go. After all, it's not something that can be discussed openly.
You need to protect your identity, but there are more important things to do.”
"Yes, ma'am, you can stay here and we can do it well."
"I… "
The reason why Night Watch Team 6 refused to let Luo Juya get on the car was reasonable. It was impossible to take the district chief's wife with them on such a dirty mission.
If something goes wrong, they can also claim that they acted privately and will never expose Luo Juya.
But the problem now is... Luo Juya wants to go up by himself.
She felt that it was unsafe for her to stay here, although she didn't know where the unsafe point was.
That subtle feeling of uneasiness actually caused Luo Juya, who had been in a high position for a long time, to feel a little panic. This panic was not fear, but the fear that he might lose his composure.
She couldn't lose her composure in front of her subordinates, absolutely not. All of this was his achievement, and she had to protect it.
There is nothing to fear, and nothing can stop them.
She is a level 4 warlock.
"Very good. You have shown me the confidence of the Night's Watchmen. I wish you immediate success."
"yes."
The night watchman's vehicle finally left and they went to carry out Luo Juya's mission.
But Luo Juya stayed.
It suddenly started raining heavily.
Standing in the rain, Luo Juya did not move, nor did he plan to find a place to hide from the rain.
Her breathing was still heavy and she could still hear her own breathing.
Buzz! ~
A strong tinnitus made Luo Juya feel dizzy. Her vision began to overlap and mixed with the surrounding rain, making her look like she had astigmatism.
Luo Juya felt as if she was floating. It was an inexplicable sense of gravity. Did she feel like she had become lighter
The surrounding water droplets actually stagnated in the air. The appearance of these water droplets was very strange. They gradually changed from the initial drop shape to a spherical shape.
Luo Juya reached out to grab them, but found that the water droplets began to vibrate and spread.
The dizziness grew stronger and stronger, until it became so strong that she could no longer feel the balance of the earth.
Then, her body began to float naturally and drifted into the air!
Luo Juya knew very well that she was definitely not flying by herself, but was flying with some special power...
"If this is not an illusion, then it can only be the influence of mental energy on me. When did it start?"
As a veteran Night's Watcher, old warlock, Luo Juya, who had rich combat experience and successfully survived, knew it very well.
The other party can bring himself into such a strange ritual, so he must not be an ordinary character.
But I am not a pushover. If the other party was absolutely sure, he should have taken action long ago. There is no need to wait until now.
The opponent is waiting for the technique to take effect, while you have to find a breakthrough point at this time.
Luo Juya spread her legs slightly to keep herself balanced and adjust her mental energy.
"With Shadow Dance protecting me, the possibility of interfering with me physically is very small. If the opponent can really suppress Shadow Dance physically, he can just kill me directly.
So... I must have had a mental defect at some point, which caused my mental defense to fail."
Luo Juya was very experienced, and after a brief thought, she roughly analyzed the cause of the current situation.
Looking back on the past, what were the moments when you lost your mind
"Meet the destiny of the dark mother tree world."
All situations, guidance, and errors in self-judgment all started from meeting that person!
Luo Juya had just woken up when a black ball mixed in the light and rain appeared above her head.
The black ball gradually began to emit light, and the light brought an absolute sense of danger. Luo Juya wanted to dodge, but her body was floating in the air and there was no way to control it specifically.
“Oh no!”
Rainy day laborer
This is an ancient relic with extremely powerful destructive power. Its only drawback is that it is slow.
"Shadow Bind! Shadow Escape."
Luo Juya first wrapped the black ball with shadow, and then completely disappeared into the darkness.
Then…
boom!
The violent explosion almost blew apart the gate of Monument Square.
The strong shock wave and air current brought a brief stop to the rain. Luo Juya emerged from the shadows and then fell heavily to the ground.
Her neatly groomed hair and elegant women's clothes were all devoured by flames, leaving her head half bald and half charred.
Her clothes and fair skin were also completely burned, revealing her scarred body underneath her clothes.
These scars were not caused by flames, but were the injuries left by Luo Juya from countless battles of varying sizes in the past.
She has never been a weak person!
Luo Juya touched her hair and felt that she was bald. The anger in her eyes had nowhere to vent, so she suddenly clenched her fists.
The darkness and shadow actually became something like a sail in her hands.
Just as Luo Juya was about to wave the sail in his hand, a foot suddenly stretched out from the rain.
Bang!
Kick her out.
"Who is it?" Luo Juya said hoarsely, pulling the shadow canvas.
"Night Watch."
