Chapter 1508 The Reasons for Voluntariness
Man-made serial number.
Midnight has passed, and the world has fallen into silence.
In this mechanical micro-city beneath the Night Bureau, listen as Ling meticulously unravels the mysteries of the past, ultimately deducing the truth behind the Night Bureau's demise.
Fang Ran was speechless with shock. He subconsciously recalled the end of the simulation scenario.
That single 'giant claw' could crush an entire city, and even before it fully descended, it brought an oppressive, suffocating sense of despair to everyone.
A colossal, exaggerated 'black behemoth' reaching a height of ten thousand meters.
It does not belong to any real-world force, nor is it a numbered monster.
It is capable of descending upon the scene and is powerful enough to destroy the previous Night Bureau.
The ultimate product of the Divine Descent Plan, and Ye Jiangran is the executor of the plan.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
At this moment, various clues flashed through my mind, and I felt a tingling sensation as all the information fit together perfectly.
Fang Ran took a deep breath, his expression filled with an overwhelming sense of shock:
"Could it really be?"
Unlike his shock, even after deducing this result, her delicate face remained calm and composed.
"Although there is no direct evidence, the sheer number of coincidences is itself a form of evidence."
It's hard not to think about it.
As she said this, Ling Qianjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice lowered as she spoke, uttering the most logical possibility that unfolded in this way:
"They encountered a loss of control at some stage of the plan's execution, thus forcing them to confront the so-called 'god' within their own plan,"
"And this led to the annihilation of the entire army."
Upon hearing this speculation, Fang Ran fell into a long silence.
Indeed, based on all the information we have so far, this is the most likely and logical explanation for the downfall of the previous Nightclub.
But if that's really the case...
"And if that is indeed the truth, the society is also implicated. Logically and morally, Midnight has no reason not to hold them accountable,"
The conversation didn't stop there. Following the logic of cause and effect, Ling seemed to be gazing at the truth at the end of the past mysteries, digging deeper and deeper.
"But since Ziye did nothing, that also proves something else,"
At this point, she paused for a slightly meaningful moment.
"That means they did it voluntarily."
The instant Fang Ran heard Ling's words, he instantly understood the underlying meaning.
If the Night Watch were to perish because of the divine plan, and there were responsibilities within the association, then the elders of the Night Watch would certainly not remain silent.
Since that's not the case, it means that the previous Night Chief volunteered to participate in the Divine Descent Project, or perhaps more.
Thinking deeper, they might actually be collaborators who spearheaded part of that plan.
but why?
As I pondered these things, deep doubts and confusion also arose.
Fang Ran asked Ling the biggest question, full of confusion:
Why did they voluntarily participate in the Divine Descent Project that night?
The Divine Descent Project is a mad scheme by the society to summon artificially numbered beings in reality. This world-destroying plan should be resolutely upheld by the Chinese government and its members, the rising stars of the Midnight Era, who are undoubtedly committed to upholding justice.
Why did they volunteer to join when the night was about to ignite?
"Who knows."
The reasoning based on the known clues has reached this point. Regarding this question, Ling simply spoke in a light tone...
But at this moment, those light gold eyes were quiet and lowered, as if they came from experience after a long period of time.
"The good and evil, right and wrong of many things in this world are not just as they seem. Most of the time, they are intertwined and cannot be completely sorted out."
"So much so that only the person standing there at the time knows the specific feelings they had at that moment when making many decisions."
Is that so?
Even though the girl in front of him was familiar, upon hearing those words, Fang Ran felt as if Ling was more like the adult she had been during the day.
That mature look, born from a long life and witnessing countless events.
"Speaking of which, I saw Night Burn once in the past."
Having deciphered the mysteries of the past, as if suddenly remembering something, Ling then answered Fang Ran's initial question.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ran immediately snapped out of his daze and looked at her.
Ok?
"That was a disaster caused by the misuse of the Night Weapon. The mastermind, an A-rank official, was being pursued by the Palace of Never Sleeps, while others who coveted the Night Weapon chose to temporarily infiltrate China,"
"While I was observing the situation, I met him and other people from the night session."
Then she recounted an experience from decades ago, during her time as a wandering angel, recalling the scene of her encounter with Ye Jiangran across a long period of time.
Hearing Ling mention the past was a rare treat, and Fang Ran couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
A dangerous night artifact, a conflict involving various forces, and as the situation continues to evolve, a mysterious and powerful figure from the Wanderer's Song, who was observing from the sidelines, encounters the Midnight Prodigy who is about to intervene.
"He was a 'shining' person even among the participants. Just as rumored, he was powerful, knowledgeable, and despite his noble birth, he was not arrogant. He possessed the kind of compassionate spirit that you young heroes of China have for the common people."
"But within this, one can sense his will to pursue some kind of desire,"
"We would even burn ourselves out for it."
As she recounted their chance encounter and their brief exchange of words about her impression of Ye Jiangran, Ling's expression and voice remained calm and composed, as if she were examining that figure from her memory.
At this point, she glanced subconsciously at the young man beside her, but quickly turned back and spoke calmly:
“Most strong participants share similar feelings, but it’s particularly strong in him,”
"There must be an irreplaceable reason why such a person would help form an association."
Before this, he had only vaguely glimpsed Ye Jiangran's existence in someone's memory. Now, listening to Ling's description, he began to draw up his impression of him from scratch.
After discussing the last information found in North America, they learned from Ling the real reason for the previous Night Bureau's downfall.
Although a general guess has been made, the true intention behind the other party's voluntary actions remains unclear.
Fang Ran sighed silently, recalling his feelings that night atop the tower in the night breeze after returning.
So, let's find out if the night will burn.
"By the way, what was with activating the power of that Night Weapon before? That shouldn't be something you could do on your own."
At this moment, another matter was asked, thus ending the previous topic.
Ling recalled how, just like at the end of the European incident, he drew back the twelve bowstrings of the giant moon bow, gathering the astonishing magical energy from the observation data.
"Oh, this? Hmm, this is the result of my arduous cultivation at midnight,"
"After working tirelessly from dawn till dusk, helping the master craftsmen and mentors to forge parts and reshape destiny, I face the elder night watchmen in the stone tablet illusion at night,"
"I don't know how many beatings I endured, but after a month, finally..."
Upon hearing Ling's question about the Moon Goddess's hunt, Fang Ran snapped out of his reverie, his expression immediately hardening into a proud demeanor as he launched into a long, eloquent speech.
Then, as he continued talking, he noticed Ling's expression growing colder and gradually fell silent, "Uh..."
Fang Ran cautiously looked at Ling, who was blushing, and tentatively asked:
"Um...didn't I tell Your Majesty before?"
Snapped!
Then she grabbed his face again, her delicate features showing a slight twitch as she stared at him:
"What do you think!"
"Ugh! I made a mistake! I'm so wrong!"
Seeing Fang Ran's eager pleading expression again, Ling snorted and released her grip, but did not begin to interrogate him.
Instead, with a snap of her slender fingers, the mechanical ropes binding him with her telekinesis loosened.
"Let's skip tonight. I'll ask you about midnight later."
Since I've already asked him a lot of questions, I'll take this time tonight.
Then, with a cry of "Ah~", he fell to the ground. Just as he was preparing for a short, sharp pain rather than a long, drawn-out one, after settling accounts in North America, he also explained what had happened at midnight.
Fang Ran was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he immediately realized what it meant.
Yes, Ling has fully recovered now and no longer needs to remain in hibernation. He will have plenty of time to see her afterward.
Upon realizing this, Fang Ran immediately became happy.
After the conversation atop the Nightwind Tower, the battle in the underworld, and the recounting of North American experiences different from those in the cabin and the Night Bureau, the night finally came to an end.
At that moment, the girl looking at the black and white skirt turned around, swiped open the projection screen, and looked at something else. He stood up from the ground and said in a relaxed tone:
"Alright then, Your Majesty, you've just woken up, so please get some rest."
"I'll head back now tonight."
This time, I was finally able to say those words safely. Well, how should I put it, although the interrogation during the process was quite brutal.
But anyway, at least I survived after what happened in North America was exposed (tears welling up).
Fang Ran was deeply moved and then turned to leave.
But just as Fang Ran was about to take a step,
"and many more."
At that moment, Ling's voice suddenly rang out again.
"What is it, Your Majesty? Is there anything else?"
Thinking that Ling had something else to tell him, Fang Ran turned around and asked curiously. Then he saw that Ling had her back to him and was looking at the projection screen in front of her.
"You've been making good use of the Night Starry Night program I gave you before in North America, haven't you?"
"Ah, Ling, you mean this? Of course."
When asked about this, Fang Ran immediately perked up. Looking back on his trip to North America, the "Starry Night" travel kit that Ling had given him had truly played a huge role.
Putting aside the fact that the armor itself is not only incredibly strong but also ridiculously cool, without the assistance of the Il-1 micro-terminal, he wouldn't even be able to understand English.
"Is it."
But just as Fang Ran was about to say that, he heard Ling suddenly speak so calmly, and the next second, he saw the girl in front of him slowly turn around.
A chilling killing intent seemed to be gathering in his light gold eyes.
"Then tell me, what's going on with this adult website's browsing history?!"
Fang Ran: "."
洗.
洗马
)Д(Shīmādà (Pupil Earthquake)!!!!!!!!!
The instant Fang Ran heard Ling's question, and recalling what he had done when he first activated the Night Starry Sky, a high-level alarm, even more severe than before, sounded in his mind.
"No! Wait! Hold on! Ling! This is a misunderstanding! I was just curious. If you don't believe me, ask Il. I asked about other things too!"
"I didn't actually open it at the time; I was just curious because it was my first time using this kind of system!"
Hearing Fang Ran's desperate explanation, Ling's delicate face remained unchanged, as if she believed him.
"Oh, I'm curious because it's my first time using it."
But then, as if she could no longer maintain that icy facade, she slightly gritted her teeth, her brow twitched, and a barely perceptible blush crept across her ears—
The cold voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth as he asked:
"What about the records after that?"
Fang Ran, whose expression was usually stern, suddenly fell silent.
The moment he was questioned like that, he froze, as if petrified by Ling's icy gaze.
Then, the air fell silent for a few seconds.
Fang Ran clutched her head in disbelief and exclaimed in shock:
"Σ(Д! Impossible! I clearly had Il activate the stealth mode!"
Using A-rank, high-level, tech-savvy equipment in stealth mode to try and deceive the person in question—hearing this was probably the stupidest thing she'd ever heard this century, Ling felt like a string in her head was about to snap.
The intention was clearly to prevent him from using 'Infinity' in a dangerous situation, but this guy ended up using it to experience first-person perspective.
Thinking about the search terms he used, such as female secretary, assistant, aloof style, and ice queen,
Ling couldn't help but clench her fists, her voice trembling with anger:
"You idiot with a head full of lewd thoughts!"
At this moment, sensing a danger even stronger than before, he paused briefly at the end of the night.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Ran turned and ran again!
"Die to me!!!"
"what----!"
I finally made it to the last day! Happy New Year!
