Anticipation

Having figured that out, he changed the subject and asked, "What's the Lily Weird Zone like?"

"I haven't heard anything. If you want to know, you can ask Director Chen and the others after you've recovered." Lan Xixin patted his shoulder. "What you need to do now is rest well and recover from your injury. There's a lot more to do later, so don't worry about it."

"Too."

"Call me if you need anything. I have other patients, so I'm leaving now."

Lan Xixin opened the door and hurriedly left, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.

As she watched her figure disappear into Building One, Bai Yang, on the top floor, leaned against the long-armed gibbon Doll's arms, his legs dangling in the air, his black hair blowing in the wind in a beautiful arc, looking exceptionally relaxed.

"Knowing Qin Rang's personality, he'll definitely go to the Lily Weird Zone in a few days," he said. "Then you'll have your chance."

"Excellent!" The young man in the exquisite aristocratic formal attire raised his voice at the end, his eyes, lighter than most people's, with a grayish tint, brimming with expectant joy. "I can't wait to see the show begin!"

Bai Yang said, "Don't just focus on having fun. If we can't stop them and they go to the School Instance now, the Master's mission will fail."

"Your Master won't let you off the hook then."

"Don't say that, don't say that, Master definitely loves me the most~" The young man smiled and winked at Bai Yang with his right eye, his light-colored pupil like translucent gray frosted glass, emitting a hazy light, "Little Bai Yang, do you think I'm right?"

Bai Yang said expressionlessly, "Really? How come I didn't know the True Form loved you the most?"

"Saying one thing and meaning another."

"Who's coming with me this time? Actually, I can manage on my own."

Bai Yang rubbed the Puppet's head, thought for a few seconds, and said, "The Writer has time right now, so he can go. And the Little Cat... Do you need me to go?"

"I would welcome the True Form even more."

You're dreaming.

"Alright, I'll True Form as you say."

The young man smiled as he stood up and stepped into the darkness. His boots were in mid-air when a ball of black energy suddenly swallowed the tips of his shoes and enveloped his entire body.

When I opened my eyes again, a huge, cold moon hung high on the withered tree. The branches of the withered tree twisted and turned, spreading along the dark earth until they stopped in front of the Castle at the end of the road.

"There's going to be some fun soon!" The young man cupped his face in his hands, looking up at the Castle. "I'm really looking forward to it, aren't you?"

At the Castle gate, the Butler, holding a cane, bowed slightly with a smile.

With anticipation, a week passed quickly, Lin Nieran once again dawdled until noon before getting up. It wasn't him who remembered; he was forced to get up by knocking on the door downstairs.

Although the Calamity Crossing Squad had temporarily dealt with the strange creature, the constant temperature had not been provided in time, so the Residential Zone was still very cold, Lin Nieran had been hiding away and being lazy for many days.

"Coming, coming, stop knocking." Lin Nieran wearing her pajamas.

Lin Yi followed him downstairs, staring at his messy hair, and said, "Can't you manage your appearance a little?"

"I've already taken care of my appearance by brushing my teeth and washing my face before opening the door," Lin Nieran, waving at Lin Yi who was blocking his way. "Move aside, move aside, don't block the way."

Lin Yi turned to the side, Lin Nieran walked past him.

Because the host had been excessively lazy these past few days, System 007 went to the small world to see other hosts. When it returned, it saw this scene and was extremely puzzled.

[Host, why are you waving your hand at thin air? Is that your personality? It's not blocking the way.]

Lin Nieran heard it, but ignored it.

When I opened the door, all I saw were familiar faces from my Dù'è. Perhaps because I had been waiting for a while, a thin layer of snow had settled on my body and head.

It was cold, and everyone wore a cotton-padded coat over their combat uniforms.

Qin Rang and An Ying were both wearing ordinary black short down jackets, with a lot of snow in their hair. An Ying, in particular, had hair that blended with the snow, making her hair stand out starkly white.

Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu were both wearing long down jackets, one pink and the other white. Tao Yuan carried her Chainsaw on her back, making her look particularly stylish standing next to the tall Mi Chuchu.

Sheng Qingqiao and Wang Ding were a bit special; both of them were afraid of the cold, so they wore thick military overcoats and woolen hats, covering themselves up completely.

So thick was the white mist from Wang Ding's breath that it made one wonder if he could even see the road.

"What brings you here? Didn't you just return from the Instance about a week ago?" Lin Nieran said, glancing at Tang Pin, Luo Jiayu, and Bai Ao behind them. "Any new guests?"

Tang Pin was dressed very lightly, wearing only a Song-style long coat over her combat uniform, her hair ribbon fluttering in the wind. Luo Jiayu was even more simply dressed, wearing only her combat uniform, and seemed completely unfazed by the cold.

The Bai Ao was dressed in a thin suit, looking quite dashing, though its face was frozen purple.

These three people were all Family Clan members and not from Wutong District, so Lin Nieran they were "strangers".

"We're on a mission together, sent by the Family Clan." Qin Rang breathed on his hands to warm them. "Boss, don't block the doorway, let us go inside and get out of the snow, okay? It's awfully cold outside."

"OK."

Sheng Qingqiao passed by Lin Nieran, she ruffled his fluffy pajamas and said, "Boss, your pajamas are so comfortable, or... are they sloth pajamas? The design is quite unique!"

Lin Nieran chuckled and made way for him, "It's cheap and warm, I bought it at the shop next door."

Wang Ding consciously found hot water in the shop and warmed up the bodies of several people in the group who were afraid of the cold.

The Bai Ao took the hot water and said, "It wasn't what I wanted; I only drank it because you gave it to me."

Sheng Qingqiao: "Hurry up and drink it. Even if the sky falls, your mouth will hold it up."

Qin Rang and An Ying went to choose weapons.

Lin Nieran introduced the newly acquired Weird Artifacts to them, then came to the Bai Ao and asked with a smile, "You're so afraid of the cold, yet you still go on missions? Look how cold you are, if you can't afford new clothes, I'll buy you one."

The Bai Ao's face darkened. "Do you even know how to Shopkeeper? Where can't I buy clothes? My entire outfit is enough to buy your whole store!"

Tao Yuan pulled him aside and tossed him to Wang Ding: "Shopkeeper, don't mind him. He's just foul-mouthed, but not a bad person. However, his family is rich, so you can rip him off."

Lin Nieran chuckled and agreed, "Okay. Where are you going on this mission? I remember your weapons were sent in for maintenance a while ago, weren't they?"

"I heard the other day that your squad's weapons have all been upgraded, so why are you looking for me again?"

"We were planning to check out the Lily Weird Zone; the Authorities gave us some more Weird Object. But last time we passed by, we saw that you, Manager Lin, had acquired quite a few new Weird Artifacts, so we thought we'd pick up a couple," Wang Ding said. "Now that we have more energy, stocking up on more Weird Object won't hurt."
