Observation Squad Established, Leng: The Fate of the World is in My Hands

The four simultaneously sent the thought "agree to add" to the diary System.

The next second, a semi-transparent virtual interface appeared in their vision, displaying the friend list:

[Keisha (Online)]

[Hexi (Online)]

[Leng (Online)]

[Lingxi (Online)]

"Oh? It can even show online status?" Hexi raised an eyebrow. "Interesting."

Previously, when Keisha was the only friend, only the chat box with Keisha was displayed.

Keisha looked at Leng and Lingxi. "You can start reading the diary now. Start from the beginning, don't skip anything. After you finish... we'll discuss it."

"Yes," Leng and Lingxi replied in unison.

They found a quiet spot in the garden and sat down, concentrating their minds to begin reading the diary's contents.

From the initial "[Today Qilin picked me up and brought me home]" to later entries like "[Xiao Xue appeared]," then the Taotie attack, Su Bai awakening his powers, and his first contact with the Angels...

Scene after scene, passage after passage, slowly unfolded in their consciousness.

Leng's expression shifted from initial seriousness to solemnity, and finally, it was even tinged with a hint of... disbelief.

Lingxi's expression changed from curiosity to surprise, and then she couldn't help but stifle a laugh—the diary entries mentioning "not very smart," "Pompadour," and "rewards" were simply too amusing.

Two hours later, they finally finished reading all the diary entries up to that point.

Leng slowly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Queen... this Su Bai, he..."

"Is special, isn't he?" Keisha finished her sentence for her.

"More than special," Leng shook her head. "His power... is completely beyond my comprehension."

"In such a short time, he went from an ordinary person to a warrior not weaker than me... and that move, 'Eternal Silence Wheel Yu'..."

Recalling the scene of absolute annihilation from the playback, Leng couldn't help but feel cold sweat bead on her forehead. Even she wasn't confident she could face that attack directly.

"So you think he's a threat?" Keisha asked.

Leng was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head. "Currently... no. But his potential... is too terrifying. If he goes down the wrong path in the future, or is controlled by certain forces..."

She didn't finish, but everyone understood her meaning. A "child" who could casually erase a fleet, what kind of monster would he become if he were corrupted?

"That's why we need to observe him, guide him," Keisha said. "Qilin is doing a good job now, but her abilities are ultimately limited. We must ensure... Su Bai's growth is controllable and directed towards good."

"Is that why you sent Yan and Azhui to Earth?" Lingxi asked softly.

"Yes," Keisha nodded. "But it's not enough. Leng, Lingxi, starting today, you will also join the observation team. Your mission is to assist Yan and Azhui."

Juxia City, Qilin's home.

"Woohoo—"

A cheerful voice suddenly rang out, and Xiao Xue's figure appeared beside Su Bai.

"Xiao Xue? You're back!" Su Bai looked at her sudden appearance, a hint of undisguised joy in his tone.

"Hmph, with this System's help, it's just a matter of minutes~" Xiao Xue proudly swayed its spherical body. "I've figured out the function of that item!"

Su Bai asked curiously, "What is it?"

Xiao Xue didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "Hehe, the 'Magical Music Player'—its wings expand when activated, and retract when turned off."

"Once activated, it will bestow a certain 'Magical Buff' upon a random person near the holder."

"Including, but not limited to: personality reversal, time reversal, appearance change... and so on."

"In short, the effects are bizarre and incredibly 'magical'~"

After explaining, she couldn't help but sigh, "Your luck is truly something else."

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully:

"So that's how it is..."

"No wonder Qilin-jie has been acting a bit strange today, it's because of this..."

Xiao Xue floated around Su Bai, the light patterns on its spherical surface flickering as if "observing" him.

"But..." it suddenly said, "according to the database, this kind of random Buff usually doesn't last more than 24 hours.

Qilin's abnormal behavior should return to normal very soon."

"Oh..." Su Bai nodded, but for some reason, he felt a hint of... disappointment?

Qilin's "strange" behavior today:

She took his hand, asked him to help pick out clothes, kissed his cheek, and even said those suggestive words...

While it was indeed strange, but...

He didn't seem to... dislike it.

In fact, he kind of... liked it?

This thought made Su Bai pause, and he subconsciously touched his forehead.

He could still feel the warm touch of Qilin's lips there.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xue noticed his odd reaction.

"Nothing," Su Bai shook his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Xue didn't press further.

Su Bai continued writing in his diary:

[Xiao Xue is back.]

[It's been so noisy since it returned.]

Beside him, Xiao Xue took a deep breath, the light patterns on its spherical surface visibly flickering--

(Don't be angry, don't be angry... I won't stoop to the level of this "little idiot"...)

In the next room, Qilin looked at the diary update, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards.

Even though Su Bai's writing sounded "disgusted," she knew that—at this moment, Xiao Bai must be very happy.

[Xiao Xue found the instruction manual for the Magical Music Player after checking the item description.]

[Xiao Xue said that the music player activates when it spreads its wings and casts random Buffs on those around it.]

[Such as personality reversal, time reversal, appearance changes, and so on...]

[No wonder Qilin-jie was acting strange today, it's because of this.]

Reading these lines in the diary, Qilin in the next room was first stunned, then suddenly understood.

So that's how it is...

No wonder she had been so "bold" today, those proactive affectionate gestures, those suggestive words, those nearly "seductive" actions...

It wasn't that she had suddenly "opened up," nor was she overcome by some inexplicable emotion.

It was... influenced by the item.

This realization made Qilin sigh in relief, but in a corner of her heart, a trace of inexplicable... disappointment flashed.

If everything today was just the effect of the item, does that mean... she wouldn't normally do those things to Su Bai?

Normally, she would just treat him like a younger brother, maintain an appropriate distance, and... restrain herself?

Qilin shook her head, pushing the thought away.

Now wasn't the time to think about these things.
