Sheng-jie, Calm Down, It's Not That Serious

The capital city, a remote restricted area.

This is a place where ordinary people are stopped. The signs of a military stronghold warn everyone, and soldiers standing guard and on sentry duty stand at the entrance of the large iron gate.

Within the heavily blockaded and strictly guarded area is a complex of buildings resembling a manor.

Training grounds, office buildings, research institutes, and various other buildings of unknown purpose together form this restricted area.

And it has another name.

—Huaxia Night Battles Scenario Supervision Bureau.

An Audi car slowly drove towards the entrance of the large iron gate, stopped for inspection, and presented its identification.

"Confirmed correct, cleared for entry."

The soldier on duty gave a standard salute, then called the gatekeeper to open the iron gate.

The Audi drove into the Night Bureau's area and stopped in front of the largest building. Although the night was deep, someone was already waiting there.

Thick-soled British-style studded boots under pure black stockings, a white women's suit shirt, and a long black trench coat over it. Underneath the slightly curled dark red long hair was an exquisite face far surpassing that of an internet celebrity.

Ye Sheng.

After seeing Ye Sheng, Su Qun quickly got out of the car. Before he could speak, Ye Sheng impatiently asked:

"Are you sure you have news of that person!?"

"Yes, that's right, Sheng-jie, she matches all the descriptions you provided."

"Let's go inside and talk."

Ye Sheng's face became serious. She turned and walked towards the Night Bureau headquarters building. Su Qun calmed himself down and followed behind.

The two walked directly into the Night Bureau lobby. The empty lobby was deserted, which made Su Qun a little strange.

"Why is no one here?"

"We're short-handed, everyone has been sent out, and," Ye Sheng glanced at him, then said, "The Director is currently meeting with those people."

Su Qun's heart immediately tightened, and he understood the reason. He knew that those people the Director would personally meet with...

...were those standing at the top of the Night Battles pyramid.

"Could the reason be..." he cautiously probed, guessing.

"Yes," Ye Sheng lowered her voice and said slowly,

"It's about the new achievement announced in the Night Battles world a few days ago. Now all the forces are guessing whose person it is and what kind of ability they have obtained."

Su Qun was silent for a moment. This was something he really couldn't get involved with.

At this moment, the two had opened a special elevator door. A row of buttons glowed with technological blue light. Ye Sheng casually pressed one, and the elevator shook slightly and began to operate.

However, it wasn't going up to a few floors, but rapidly descending.

That's right, the true appearance of the Night Bureau is in the underground space beneath nearly ten buildings on the ground.

Ding!

The elevator stopped, and the two walked to the door of a small conference room, pushing it open and entering.

"Alright, now tell me in detail, what did you encounter?" Ye Sheng sat in a chair and looked at Su Qun, asking.

Su Qun took a deep breath, recalling the 'strange night' that had happened during the day, and then slowly began to speak.

"Today, I was randomly assigned to a special scenario for the Night Artifact competition."

Hearing the words Night Artifact, a glimmer of light immediately flashed in Ye Sheng's eyes. She even put aside the question she was about to ask and pressed on:

"What was the result? Did you get it!?"

"Originally... it seemed possible..."

Su Qun let out a bitter laugh. Ye Sheng was also silent, waiting for him to continue. She had always understood Su Qun well.

After joining the Bureau, he had strictly completed various training exercises and perfectly executed missions. He was one of the most promising elites in the Bureau, and the elites of the Night Bureau were not the kind of people in society who were considered elite just because they could earn some money or had some education.

"The scenario was located in Ji City. I was initially randomly assigned to a suburban market..."

Su Qun slowly began to recount his experiences throughout the day.

"Then I learned about the existence of B-rank Blazing Light - Si Ai. After learning that he had prepared a water-element magic user as a trump card, I decided to form an alliance."

Su Qun recounted his actions and decisions in this Night Battles scenario bit by bit, explaining the thoughts behind each step. Ye Sheng listened, nodding constantly. Su Qun's approach had no flaws; it could be said to be the most stable and most likely way to obtain the Night Artifact.

"But after we finished the chaotic battle and figured out the strength of the remaining individuals..."

Su Qun's expression became serious as he began to talk about the thing he understood the least about this Night Battle. Ye Sheng also paid closer attention.

"Starting from that hour, people were constantly being eliminated. I originally thought it would take at least three nights to wear down and deal with the remaining people, but after that Night Crow started interfering, it only took one night."

Su Qun let out a long breath, saying helplessly:

"Including me, four C-rank participants and three D-ranks were all taken down by him."

"All of them?"

"Yes, all of them." Su Qun nodded. "I don't know why, but she could always accurately find our location. Hiding places in a city as big as Ji City were completely useless. In the end, I could only wait for her on a helipad."

Ye Sheng furrowed her beautiful brows, thinking about all the clues. While thinking, she continued to ask:

"One last thing, are you sure the final sword light from that person was as I described?"

"Yes, I'm sure. It was exactly as you described." Su Qun nodded without hesitation.

"Hoo..."

Ye Sheng let out a long breath, thinking to herself,

I've got you.

"Then what about the important clue you mentioned? Give it to me."

Su Qun's expression stiffened for a moment, then he slowly took something out of his briefcase and placed it on the conference table. After this item was taken out, it wasn't just Su Qun.

Ye Sheng's face also froze.

She extended her slender fingers, her mouth twitching as she bit her teeth in annoyance and asked:

"Are you sure this is the major clue you were talking about!?"

Su Qun was also full of embarrassment, pointing at the unopened women's underwear on the table with a wry smile and saying,

"Yes, it is indeed something that fell off Night Crow, and I was able to bring it out of the scenario, so..."

Su Qun said his most rigorous guess with a serious face.

"Not only when she fought me, but also when she eliminated others, her methods were incredibly bizarre, controlling the ability of illusions. This Night Battle was so sudden that I wasn't even prepared. She must have urgently used some unknown method to force her way in. This piece of underwear must be something she brought with her."

"Therefore, the black-haired young man wearing a long black coat that I saw must be her disguise. Night Crow's true identity must be female!"

"Huh!!??"

Ye Sheng was also stunned by Su Qun's bold guess. She suppressed the feeling of disbelief and asked incredulously,

"Are you sure?"

Ye Sheng knew that Su Qun had received criminal investigation training, so she valued his opinion.

"I think so, and this pack of underwear hasn't been opened yet. We can completely find clues about her based on the information on the trademark!"

Su Qun said with absolute certainty.

At this moment!

Ye Sheng suddenly thought of a terrifying fact. She suddenly remembered that she had fallen in front of that person at the time.

The last thing she saw was that pink underwear.

If that person... Night Crow was female...

Then it really seemed to make sense!

Thinking of this, a burst of light erupted in Ye Sheng's eyes. She stood up with a hint of excitement and took out her phone to call her assistant.

The phone rang once, then connected.

"Hello? Sheng-jie? Sigh, it's so late, if you don't rest, your chest will shrink~"

A lazy, annoying female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ye Sheng suppressed the throbbing veins on her forehead: "I need you to find out the source of something for me and find its buyer."

"Ah~" An unwilling voice came from the other end of the phone: "The anti-drug department is asking us for help again, it's so troublesome, let them do it themselves~"

Click!

Ye Sheng felt her anger rise a little more: "Turn on the surveillance camera on your side and you'll see."

As her voice fell, in the conference room, a camera from the ceiling turned around, and the lens focused on the 'evidence' on the table.

Ye Sheng felt an unpleasant silence from the other end of the phone. After a long time, the person's voice with complex meaning finally came through.

"Sheng-jie, I know you're sad, but because your chest is small and you were tricked by the merchant into buying underwear one size too big,

It's not necessary to use national power to find them, they have to live too, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense to me!!!"

Ah ah~ The collection hasn't moved at all, the author-kun has lost the dream of a second update again,

It was hard to get a holiday from the sports meeting, the second version of Wish Heart went to play with the first version of Wish Heart~~~
