Chapter 1765 Boarding the Ship
“When we graduated before, we said we might never see each other again… Unexpectedly, it’s only been two years and we’re meeting again.” The classmate tactfully didn’t ask more questions, but instead mused, “I heard this celebration is going to be huge. Not just us, but also those special squads, and even the human pinnacle and Commander Lin will be there.”
Upon hearing the words “Commander Lin,” Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi’s hearts skipped a beat.
“Have you ever met Commander Lin?” Jia Shasha asked.
“How could I possibly have met the Commander?” The classmate spread his hands helplessly. “But I’ve heard that Commander Lin is extremely fierce.”
“Fierce?” The two turned pale.
“Yes.” He looked around and lowered his voice. “I heard this Commander Lin was an absolute genius from a young age, and has grown to where he is now by spilling the blood of countless gods. He can shatter mountains with a punch, split seas with a sword, and with just one glance, he can force millions to kneel!”
Zhen Xiaoyi was shocked, his mouth hanging open. “R-really? Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true. Do you think someone who proposed the ‘God Hunting Plan’ and actively hunts deities could be a nice person? For all these years, no outer gods have dared to attack Great Xia in the mist because they’re terrified of his murderous aura!
Just think about it—a person who even gods fear… how fierce must he be?!”
Hearing this, Zhen Xiaoyi and Jia Shasha’s faces turned completely pale.
In their minds, they automatically pictured a blood-covered, ferocious man,
holding a sword in one hand and a deity’s severed head in the other, tearing at it with his teeth, crushing the god’s skull to pieces, and snarling at them: “Dumplings? If they’re not filled with god meat, this Commander won’t eat them!”
Zhen Xiaoyi looked at Jia Shasha with tearful eyes, as if he might start crying at any moment.
“You… you you…” Jia Shasha trembled for a long time, unable to say a word, feeling as if he’d fallen into an icy pit.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
“…N-nothing.”
After getting rid of that classmate, Jia Shasha put down the backpack that was emanating a cold aura, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
“What do we do now? Should we send a message to Sister Hongying saying we’re not going?” Zhen Xiaoyi asked, his face ashen.
“…No, we can’t. If we can’t even complete such a simple task, what kind of Night Watchers would we be?”
“Brother Shasha, when did you become so brave? Don’t you usually get so scared you can’t move when facing ‘mysteries’? Commander Lin is ten thousand times more terrifying than any ‘mystery’!”
Jia Shasha took a deep breath, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes.
“No matter how terrifying, he’s still our Commander. He won’t harm us.”
“Hmm… that’s true.”
As they were talking, the bus slowly stopped at the dock, and everyone quickly got off, following the guide toward a ship.
At the boarding stairs, a figure wearing logistics staff uniform was verifying the identities of all Night Watchers boarding the ship.
He was a man in his mid-twenties, handsome and refined, yet possessing a steadiness that didn’t match his age. Standing before the sparkling sea, he wore a smile that made people feel very comfortable.
When it was Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi’s turn, the man spoke gently:
“Hello.”
“Hello,” the two politely replied.
“Please show your identification documents.”
Jia Shasha handed the stamped documents of Squad 136 to the man, who scanned them and raised an eyebrow slightly:
“You’re from Cangnan?”
“Yes.”
The man nodded and pointed to the backpacks they were carrying. “You don’t need to bring so many dumplings. There will be food at the venue; you won’t go hungry.”
Hearing this, both their faces turned red. After hesitating for a moment, Jia Shasha spoke softly:
“These aren’t for us to eat… Our squad leader asked us to bring them as a gift for Commander Lin.”
The man made a slight sound of surprise. “Hongying asked you to deliver them?”
“You know our squad leader?”
“I do.”
Learning that this staff member knew Hongying, Jia Shasha felt much more at ease. “Sister Hongying specially saved these for Commander Lin during the New Year and asked us to deliver them on our way… but we’re worried…”
“What are you worried about? He’s not going to eat you.” The man smiled. “After you enter the venue, look for someone wearing a deep red cloak—that’s Commander Lin. Just go up to him and hand them over.”
“Okay… thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The man patted their shoulders gently. “Good kids, get on board.”
Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi boarded the ship. The latter looked back at the man once more and let out a long breath.
“What is it?” Jia Shasha asked.
“I just felt that staff member gave off such a comfortable feeling…” Zhen Xiaoyi hugged the heavy backpack, standing in the bright sunlight, his delicate brows relaxing. “Suddenly I feel that Commander Lin might not be so scary after all…”
“Yeah.” Jia Shasha seemed to remember something. “Oh right, I forgot to ask his name… Otherwise we could have asked Sister Hongying who he was when we got back.”
Jia Shasha looked back, but the boarding area was already empty.
The rumbling sound of the ship’s horn sounded, and the vessel cut through the blue water, heading straight toward Chenlongguan.
…
Below the surging sea surface, two ghostly figures silently flew out.
They landed lightly on the stern deck of the ship, their forms flickering and vanishing into thin air. When they reappeared, they were already in an empty storage room.
“The intelligence was correct… The border defenses of Great Xia have indeed become quite lax recently. It seems their consecutive successful ‘god hunts’ have made them swell with arrogance to the point of recklessness.” The man with long dark green hair and typical Western features snorted coldly.
“We made so many preparations, and didn’t need to use any of them,” said the other man, who had dark skin and dirty, messy braids.
“Our appearances are still too conspicuous. Turk, where’s that thing?”
The black man called Turk took out a handful of powder from his pocket and lightly sprinkled it. Instantly, both their forms became hazy, and within seconds, they had transformed into two flawless Great Xia citizens.
Behind them, they even had two dark red cloaks, identical to those worn by the Night Watchers.
“This treasure from Lord Poseidon can only last for three hours, but that should be enough for this celebration,” Kira said, flexing his new body with a slight smile.
He pushed open the storage room door, and he and Turk walked confidently onto the deck. By now, many Night Watchers were chatting on the deck. They glanced at the two newcomers, but no one noticed anything unusual.
There were now hundreds of Night Watchers on this ship, so even if these two appeared out of nowhere, no one would notice.
