Chapter 1505 – New Squad?
The autumn rain was slightly cool.
Under the hazy sky, a figure was sitting on the muddy ground, a pale stone monument surrounded them like a forest, and the fine rain hit the withered leaves all over the ground, making a dull clattering sound.
The Vigilante Mausoleum in Shangjing City was quite a bit larger than the one in Cangnan City, not because of the high status of the Vigilantes in Shangjing City, but simply because there were too many tombstones here, almost more than three times as many as in Cangnan, and if they didn’t build the mausoleum larger, it simply wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many monuments.
Lin Qiye stood outside the mausoleum, looking at the figure trembling and carving monuments in the forest of monuments with a somewhat complicated expression.
”It’s the first time I’ve seen that he’s crying like this.”
”This kid, Fang Mo, is originally a person of nature, and although he hasn’t been with them for a long time, his feelings for Squad 006 aren’t any less than Li Zhenzhen’s.” Chen Han sighed.
”What about Li Zhenzhen? How’s it going?”
”Not awake yet, Xu Liao is taking care of her.”
They had watched Li Zhenzhen cry and faint in front of those five coffins with their own eyes, even though Lin Qiye and the others had been doing their best to comfort her, it had no effect, Li Zhenzhen had grown up following the members of Team 006 and had long since treated them as family members, and to see them turned into cold coffins lying on the ground, she simply couldn’t bear the blow.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly and looked at the figure carving a monument in the mausoleum without speaking again.
Today, the remains of all the Night Watchmen who sacrificed their lives on the front lines should have been sent to the various squad locations …… Such a scene should be staged in how many places?
How many people would be like Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo today, Lin Qiye wasn’t sure.
But he knew that after today, another large group of young night watchmen in Daxia would undergo a metamorphosis.
On the gravel path outside the mausoleum, a figure came walking in a lost state, Li Zhenzhen’s face was incredibly pale and her eyes were red, she was draped in her own dark red cloak, walking step by step towards the mausoleum in the autumn rain.
”Awake?”
”…… Hmm.” Li Zhenzhen spoke hoarsely, “I’m going to carve a monument for them ……”
Lin Qiye looked at her haggard and weak appearance and sighed, “Go, Fang Mo is already inside.”
Li Zhenzhen’s back hobbled into the mausoleum and sat down by Fang Mo’s side, oblivious to the coldness of the autumn rain, she picked up the carving knife and bit by bit carved on the stone monument.
Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen carved the monument very slowly, they are both the first time to send off their seniors, moving the knife very carefully, until the five tombstones carved, it is already late at night.
”Sorry ah ……” Chen Han smiled bitterly, “Today’s dinner, I guess I can only deal with a simple bite …… ”
Originally, Chen Han had planned to arrange a big meal for Lin Qiye and the others to celebrate their triumph from the battlefield, but now in this situation, the celebration banquet definitely couldn’t be organized.
”It’s fine, I’ve already asked Cao Yuan and Jiang Er to start cooking noodles, these two kids have been carving monuments for half a day, they should be starving.” Lin Qiye said.
”Thanks.”
When the group returned to the courtyard, several steaming bowls of egg noodles were already set up on a small table under the eaves, Cao Yuan took off the apron he was wearing and nodded slightly at Lin Qiye.
Although Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen had been busy all afternoon, they didn’t have much of an appetite, but under Lin Qiye’s “compulsion”, they still honestly sat at the table and ate the noodles.
Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan, Chen Han, and Xu Liao were seated one after another.
Late at night, the autumn rain is even cooler, in the large courtyard, the six people sitting on a small table, do not feel crowded, but there is a kind of empty and lonely feeling.
To know, they gathered here for dinner last time, there are many people to a long table can not sit down to the point, crowing sixteen or seventeen people, the lively sound of laughter and talk can be the roof are turned over a cover.
But now, the same two teams, but no longer the lively and noisy.
Fang Mo finished eating the noodles in the bowl in silence, gently set the chopsticks on the table, silent for a long time, or opened his mouth, “Seven night adults …… can I ask you something?”
”You say.”
”How is it, to become a member of a special squad?”
Lin Qiye’s chopsticks lurched as he gave Fang Mo a surprised look, “You want to join the special squad? Why?”
”I …… don’t want to stand behind others anymore.” Fang Mo’s hands, which were placed on his knees, slowly clenched, “In this war, I’ve been hiding in the back of Da Xia, and even if I arrived at the battlefield twice, I wasn’t able to participate in the battle, and was sent back …… I know that it’s because you want to protect me, but this kind of feeling, it’s really hard to bear.
I am also a Night’s Watchman, and although I am not strong enough, I don’t want to keep being guarded in the last party like a child ……
I’m not saying that it’s not good to be a Night’s Watchman stationed in a city, I just want to be like you and do more things. To be the first to step up and be the one to stand in front of everyone when it matters.”
”Me too.” Li Zhenzhen put down her chopsticks and said with the same seriousness, “I’ve stayed in Shangjing for more than ten years, and this place is like my home, staying at home, I can never be truly strong ……
I want to go out and have a look.”
Lin Qiye gazed at Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo, both of their eyes were firm and resolute, this was by no means an impromptu idea, it should have been discussed by the two during the previous process of carving the monument.
”It’s a bit too difficult for two people to enter a special squad together.” Cao Yuan thoughtfully opened his mouth, “Right now, the [Phoenix] squad already has eight personnel and won’t be accepting any new members, and if we are in the squad, although we can also enter, our duties are still too dangerous for you ……”
Hearing these words, Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen’s expressions dimmed at the same time.
Right at this moment, the silent Lin Qiye suddenly spoke, “Actually, it’s not impossible.”
”Lord Seven Nights, you’re willing to take us in?” Fang Mo’s eyes lit up.
”No.” Lin Qiye shook his head, “I mean, since you all want to be special squad members …… why don’t you set up a squad of your own?”
Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen froze in place at the same time.
”With the [Mask] squad overthrown, there are no longer any special squads under the 004 number, so you guys can pull together a team on your own, start from zero, and little by little move closer to a special squad …… just like we once did.” A touch of nostalgia surfaced in Lin Qiye s eyes.
”But …… with our current strength, can we really form a special squad by ourselves?” Fang Mo asked with some concern.
”What’s not possible? When [Night Curtain] first started forming, I wasn’t as strong as you.” Lin Qiye smiled faintly, “Strength is something that can be rapidly improved, the more things you experience, the faster you will grow.
You are an agent of the Great Summer Golden Immortal, and you carry the White Tiger Soul on your body, which is enough to hold the position of special squad leader.”
