Elsewhere.
At the top of a towering skyscraper, Lin Qiye stood in the darkness, gripping his blade in one hand.
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded in the distance. He froze slightly, then sharply turned to look.
"That was..."
"They encountered Team 017 head-on." An Qingyu drifted down from midair, landing lightly on the ground. He straightened and looked toward the source of the sound, frowning as he spoke.
"How many are there?" Lin Qiye asked.
An Qingyu slightly closed his eyes, using the psychic link within the Rat Tide to observe the situation from afar.
"Two," An Qingyu said calmly. "But their Forbidden Ruins seem to counter Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan particularly well, and they're very strong. The situation doesn't look good."
"The Night Watchmen team stationed in Gusu City naturally wouldn't be weak..." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then turned to An Qingyu. "How likely are they to win? Do I need to go support them now?"
According to the original plan, this reverse summoning maneuver—feigning east while attacking west—was supposed to be used only when they faced Belial Kland in the end. If Lin Qiye teleported over now, their original arrangement would be disrupted, and they would instantly shift from the proactive side to the passive one.
Moreover, that would leave An Qingyu in the dangerous position of operating alone, making him an easy target for Belial Kland. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Qiye should not teleport over.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Without Jialan, their chances of winning are less than thirty percent."
Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback. "Then what if Jialan is included?"
An Qingyu raised his head, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Eighty percent."
