Night deepened.
Lin Qiye climbed the stairs to the top floor of the villa. At the edge of the railing, a figure leaned there, staring blankly at the bright moon overhead.
"Can't sleep?" Lin Qiye walked over to his side and spoke.
Baili Pangpang turned back and nodded silently. "A little."
"What are you thinking about?"
Baili Pangpang looked at the villa below, already swallowed by darkness, and let out a long sigh. "I picked this villa myself back then. I had to do a lot of convincing before Captain Wei Xiuming agreed to accept it. At the time, everyone else in Team 010 refused to move out of that tiny underground garage because they felt Night Watchmen shouldn't live such extravagant lives.
But who would have thought that after just over a year, they would become like this...
I was thinking, if I hadn't persuaded them to move out back then, would none of this have happened?"
Lin Qiye decisively shook his head. "You only wanted them to live a little better. Of course you weren't wrong. The ones at fault were them, for failing to withstand the temptations that followed, and the Baili Family, for corrupting them."
Baili Pangpang fell silent for a moment before slowly asking, "Qiye, do you think... are all Night Watchmen really good people?"
Lin Qiye gazed into his eyes and shook his head. "Saying that all Night Watchmen are good people is a little too idealistic. When the woods are big, there are all kinds of birds. There are thousands of Night Watchmen, and everyone thinks differently. Who can guarantee that every one of them is a good person?
But one thing is certain: the vast majority of them are good people.
