Good Night: I hope there won't be any attacks today

"Xi Ba, it's so quiet... it's like the calm before the storm."

Standing on the second floor of the International Convention Center, "Good Night" looked down at the busy people below and couldn't help but sigh.

"No, this isn't the calm before the storm; it's pouring outside."

A Leng Jing voice rang out beside Good Night.

Good Night looked to the side and saw "Dionysus" Yin Lan walking up the stairs, carrying a dripping Folding Umbrella.

Good Night looked at the other person and said helplessly, "I was Xi Ba using a metaphor. I know it's raining heavily outside... I was referring to the 'situation'!"

Yin Lan shook the Folding Umbrella, and the rainwater on it splashed onto Good Night's calves.

"I know what you're implying... I was implying something too. Just now, on the 'Field Team' side, 'Wannianqing' was caught by the Second Generation 'Freud' and 'Schreiber.' The two have temporarily formed a cooperative relationship, and then communicated directly with 'Ren Gu' through 'Wannianqing'... At the same time, 'Schreiber' used his [Exclusive item] to create a 'Mental Plague' that swept through the entire Shenzhen."

"Now, within this Shenzhen, only the 'Player' remain conscious; the rest of the non- 'Player' have fallen into a kind of 'sleepwalking' state—in other words, from now on, every 'Player' can use their abilities to the maximum extent within the Shenzhen."

Good Night hearing Yin Lan's words, Liang Ye was shocked. "Xi Ba, why didn't you say so sooner? This is such a big deal!"

Yin Lan sighed, "I sent a notification on your phone a while ago, but the 'professor' saw that you hadn't replied and knew you probably hadn't seen it, so he asked me to come and tell you in person."

Hearing this, Good Night felt a little embarrassed. He was silent for a moment before saying, "I Xi Ba think it's important to have business to do today and shouldn't be on my phone too much..."

Yin Lan spread her hands and said, "What you're doing is called overcorrection."

Good Night Xi Ba seriously, "I don't think so at all—because I have very little self-control. When I open my Xi Ba to check messages, I easily end up clicking on other apps..."

This confident and assertive statement, ironically, convinced Yin Lan.

"That's really true... But luckily, the 'professor' knows you well enough to have me inform you."

"Yeah, yeah, as long as Xi Ba got delayed in the end, that's fine," Good Night said again, then looked at Yin Lan, "Hey, but you look much better. Is Xi Ba alright now?"

Yin Lan shrugged. "I had almost fully recovered, and as long as I didn't overdraw my 'Heart Domain' again... but the 'Professor' still wouldn't let me join the Field Team —to be honest, if I had been outside supporting the 'Wannianqing' team, perhaps 'Schreiber' wouldn't have succeeded."

"Really? Xi Ba?" Good Night looked at Yin Lan. "I know you're Xi Ba, but back then there was Second Generation 'Freud,' wasn't there just one 'Schreiber'?"

After thinking for a moment, Yin Lan said, "If I activate my 'Heart Domain,' I can definitely stop 'Schreiber' in front of the Second Generation 'Freud'..."

Good Night astutely seized upon the contradictions in Yin Lan's words. "Xi Ba, but you just said yourself, 'Professor' said you can no longer open the 'Heart Domain'?"

"There was no other way in that situation, we had to keep driving it," Yin Lan said matter-of-factly and confidently. "Anyway, we won't die, we'll just suffer a long period of Backlash..."

"Then Xi Ba, you shouldn't fight anyone anymore. Leave everything inside the venue to me," Good Night said, looking at Yin Lan with a sigh. "Seriously, Xi Ba, are you hiding some instructions...? Did 'Professor' actually tell me to keep an eye on you and try to prevent you from fighting?"

Yin Lan laughed, "Haha, how could that be? That's not true at all."

After a brief moment of thought, Good Night took out his phone.

He swiped the screen, opened the message notification group and the "professor's" private chat, and then showed it to Yin Lan.

"This is Xi Ba true—'If it's not necessary, avoid involving 'Dionysus' in the battle!'"

Yin Lan looked up at the ceiling of the Atrium of the International Convention Center: "Oh dear, what's going on here? I don't know, they probably didn't tell me."

Even though anyone could tell that these were just excuses, Good Night didn't refute them.

Yin Lan was a little curious when she heard some Canned Laughter and a sweet female voice reading some funny copywriting next to her.

She turned her head, shocked, and said, "No, why did you open the Video App?!"

Good Night realized what had happened, and his face showed a "Oh my god, what have I done?" expression. He quickly turned off his phone screen.

"Xi Ba, it was completely subconscious... it was muscle Memory," Good Night said, extremely annoyed. "Xi Ba! I told you I can't look at my phone at all!"

He quickly stuffed his phone into his side pocket and zipped up the pocket.

Then, Good Night looked at Yin Lan: "Xi Ba... no matter what, leave the fighting to me—with 'Paper Kite' by my side, we're more than enough to handle most of the Xi Ba experts!"

"The Xi Ba -Tier 4 combatants will be held back by the 'Grandmaster,' 'Swordsman,' and 'Tengshe' on the outer perimeter. The Field Team and Internal Team will form concentric circles of 'Battle Line.' Those Xi Ba actually manage to break into the venue... 'Paper Kite' and I can definitely handle them!"

"Besides, the people from those 'Player Mutual Aid Society' in Xi Ba will definitely help out then."

Yin Lan frowned. "Paper Kite? Is he here too?"

Good Night nodded. "Yes, he's on the Rooftop Xi Ba."

"Why can't I sense his presence? Paper Kite's 'Killing Intent' is always quite strong. It's understandable that I can't sense it from others, but with Paper Kite... that shouldn't be the case."

Yin Lan muttered to herself.

Good Night shrugged. "He's probably concealing his presence. After all, Xi Ba is guarding the Rooftop alone, so he might be under a lot of pressure... You definitely didn't deliberately try to sense Xi Ba."

"Could something have happened to him already? I was right in the center of the venue the whole time, and I didn't hear Xi Ba calling for help... I didn't even hear any fighting. If someone could take down the Paper Kite so silently, Xi Ba would be terrifying!"

Hearing this, Yin Lan nodded in agreement. "That's true. Even I couldn't eliminate 'Paper Kite' silently... However, I advise you not to underestimate 'The Marauders,' especially now that the 'Psychology Society' has openly entered the fray... Our situation is really not that optimistic."

Good Night interrupted Xi Ba Yin Lan: "Hey, if we really can't hold on any longer, we definitely won't keep stopping you from making a move... Yin Lan, do I look like a fearless, self-sacrificing guy? If it really Xi Ba to that, I'll be the first to beg you for help, yelling 'Comrade Dionysus, save me!' Xi Ba get you to take action!"

Yin Lan laughed as well, seemingly already imagining the scene. "That's true... Well then, let's just say that if the number of 'Tier 3' is less than five and there's nothing particularly noteworthy, I won't make a move."

"But if five or more 'Tier 3' individuals, or Branch Director of the 'Marauders' or S-Rank members of the 'Psychology Society' arrive, I will definitely lend a hand."

Good Night readily nodded. "Xi Ba is definitely fine -- but if more than five 'Tier 3' are brought in, then I think 'Ren Gu' and all these Field Team will have to write self-criticisms Xi Ba!"

Yin Lan pursed her lips. "I agree... really, that guy from 'Ren Gu' has suffered much more damage than me, especially since the 'Administrator' is Crossing the Line out of contact. His consumption of 'Rule Power' has increased significantly compared to before. I really don't know why 'Professor' doesn't think he should also rest or be more cautious in his actions."

Good Night pondered, "Perhaps it's because the 'Ren Gu' in the Xi Ba is more numerous?"

Yin Lan looked at Good Night, somewhat angrily, and said, "Are you saying I don't know what's going on?"

"Xi Ba, don't try to pin this on me..."

Good Night sighed.

At this point, Yin Lan seemed to remember something and added, "Oh right, Good Night... Besides those guys, if 'Schreiber' appeared here, I would definitely take action too."

"His safety is now tied to the safety of the entire Shenzhen, so we can't afford to be careless... If given the chance, I will definitely do everything I can to keep him under control."

As Yin Lan spoke, Good Night spoke up.

"Xi Ba, do you even need to tell me... Honestly, that 'Schreiber' was already at the level of S-Rank Operator of the 'Psychology Society,' right? Maybe even more terrifying—isn't it basically confirmed now that he killed both 'Potassium Chloride' and 'White Sand' at the same time... Xi Ba, he did it in front of 'The Diviner' and 'Freud,' that's too Xi Ba insane!"

Good Night sighed, "In that case, it's actually a relief that his [Exclusive item] is the type Xi Ba a wide coverage and can create a broad impact... Otherwise, if his [Exclusive item] were the type that directly enhances his own combat power, then I really wouldn't want to face him at Xi Ba."

Yin Lan said confidently, "That's why I said... leave him to me—I'll deal with him."

Good Night sighed, "If possible, I still hope he doesn't come here... Well, Xi Ba, it's best if nobody comes to this International Convention Center —it's best if all the comrades on the perimeter can be easily stopped and dealt with, Xi Ba it."

Good Night finished speaking...

Suddenly, he saw that the surrounding environment had darkened and become quiet!

"Smack!"

Inside the entire International Convention Center, all the lighting fixtures, from top to bottom, went out in that instant...

It's all gone!
