Chapter 893 – Mei Lin’s Outburst

　　He wasn’t as selfless as Zhou Ping, he didn’t have as much heart for the world as Wang Mian, in the end, he was still the same young man who had knelt down beside the body of the dying Zhao Kongcheng in Cangnan City, pointing at the neon city in the rain in the distance, and asking the question, “Is it worth it for them?” The young man who asked the question “Is it worth it for them?

　　He knew that his choice might be a shame for the identity of the Night’s Watch, but so what?

　　He had never joined the Night’s Watch for the sake of protecting the living, but for the sake of a ten-year agreement.

　　Along the way, Lin Qiye has experienced a lot, and has seen all kinds of night watchmen, Ye Fan, Zuo Qing, Li Deyang, Wang Mian, Lu Qiu …… He admires the kind of shining spirit in them, and also tries his best to fulfill his own duties, to be a qualified night watchman.

　　But deep down in his soul, he was still first and foremost Lin Qiye, and secondly a Nightwatchman.

　　As the [Night Watch] said when it was founded, “The world is too big, there are too many living beings, we can’t manage it, and we don’t want to manage it either …… I just want the people I cherish under this night watch to be safe for all times …… ”

　　Within the reach of that night curtain, Lin Qiye could go and protect the world’s living beings.

　　But right now, he was still too weak, and with his night curtain, he could only protect those around him, those he cherished.

　　Although doing so might be sorry to the king’s face, and might make him unworthy to go as a night watchman …… If he could stand here now, with the [Immortality] given to him by Calyan, and watch those he cherished die in front of his eyes, and survive alone, then he would no longer be Lin Qiye.

　　Thus.

　　Lin Qiye walked through the murky waters and

　　came before the long knife that had pierced deeply into the stomach wall.

　　His eyes were filled with determination.

　　Just as he reached out his hand and his fingertips were about to touch the hilt of the [Eagle Duck] blade, a helpless sigh came from behind him.

　　”Alas ……”

　　Lin Qiye’s body shook as he was about to turn his head when a hand gently grabbed his wrist and released it.

　　At some point, Merlin, clad in a dark blue magical robe and wearing a large trench coat, holding a scepter that emitted a shimmering light in his hand, stood silently behind him.

　　”Lord Merlin?!”

　　The moment he saw this figure, Lin Qiye froze.

　　It took several seconds before he reacted, and a flash of shock surfaced on his face.

　　One must know that this wasn’t the Asylum of the Gods, and the fact that Merlin was able to appear here without his permission meant that ……

　　”You’ve been discharged from the hospital?” Lin Qiye opened his mouth in surprise.

　　Mei Lin smiled faintly, those deep eyes gazing into Lin Qiye’s eyes, seemingly seeing the deepest part of his heart.

　　”If I don’t come out, you should have a heart demon ……”

　　Lin Qiye was stunned in place.

　　Mei Lin was right.

　　His choice to pull out this blade was indeed a choice to follow the deepest part of his heart and would never regret it …… But likewise, once he pulled out this blade, it also meant that for his identity as a Night’s Watchman, it would be tainted with a stain that could never be washed away.

　　At that time, how should he face his identity as a Night’s Watchman? How was he going to face those recruits in the training camp, and how was he going to face the King’s face?

　　The moment he drew that sword, Night’s Watchman Lin Qiye, would cease to exist.

　　Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, but still said, “I don’t regret it.”

　　”I know you won’t regret it, but there are some things that are better left undone.” Mei Lin patted his shoulder, his gaze fell on the long blade, and he spoke indifferently in an incomparably reassuring tone, saying.

　　”Don’t worry, I’ll set everything right for you.”

　　His Excellency Mei Lin reached out his hand and pulled Lin Qiye behind him as he looked up at the silver circle that was constantly approaching, his eyes narrowing slightly as a star mark flashed from his eyes, seemingly able to peer into the trajectory of fate.

　　Lin Qiye looked at that magnificent back, his anxious and panicked emotions disappeared without a trace, and his mind completely relaxed.

　　Mei Lin gave him the feeling of an incomparably reliable elder, and since he had come, all the difficulties that were now plaguing Lin Qiye would be solved.

　　This time-closed ring, could it trap them, could it trap the great God of Magic?

　　Praise the God of Magic!

　　”Lord Merlin, do you have a way to get us out without destroying the time closure?” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but ask.

　　”Then of course there is.” Merlin nodded and withdrew his gaze, adding, “But there’s no need ……”

　　”Why?”

　　”This Closed Circle, it’s already been destroyed, even if I use magic to send you all out, after the law of time wipes out everything, it will automatically collapse ……

　　What’s more, its mission has basically been accomplished.”

　　Mission basically completed?

　　When Lin Qiye heard the last sentence, doubts rose in his heart, “What is its mission?”

　　”I’ll tell you afterward.” Mei Lin looked towards the end of the long blade in front of him, the slowly rotating ring of flowing light, and spoke faintly, “For now, I’m going to end this first.”

　　With the gradual approach of the silver circle above his head, in the middle of the deep sea, Merlin stretched out his palm, gently gripped the hilt of the [Eagle Duck], and exerted his force to slowly pull it outward ……

　　The blade withdrew from the stomach wall little by little, the light of the flowing ring at the end flashed violently, and the time around Merlin began to disturb chaotically, sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down, sometimes coming close to stopping …… just like a television picture with a jammed signal, mysterious and bizarre.

　　Merlin’s eyes narrowed slightly, a white magic formation opened under his feet, tuning the flow of time to the same frequency as his surroundings, and the palm of his hand suddenly exerted force, directly pulling this knife out of the stomach wall like lightning.

　　At the same time, the silver-colored circle that was constantly expanding above him, violently stagnated, and then automatically crumbled away in pieces, disappearing into nothingness.

　　The time law here was completely lifted.

　　Outside the fishing village.

　　Late at night beside the coast, a bright searchlight had long been set up, illuminating the entire coastline as bright as day, and a figure was busy walking on top of the beach, seemingly recording data.

　　Lu Rui Ci stood beside the carriage, looking at the distant Chen Fu Zi who sat cross-legged on a boulder on the shore, and sighed helplessly.

　　”Still haven’t found that fishing village?” Zhou Dao came from the distance and asked.

　　Lu Rui Ci shook his head, “Fu Zi has been sitting there for a day, and still hasn’t found a way to enter the fishing village……. I also don’t know, how are the [Mask] and [Night Curtain] inside.”

　　Zhou Island opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly, a shattering loud sound came from the sky.

　　Under the dim sky, a silver circle flashed away, followed by a translucent field opening up from the void, black baleful flames blazing, and a terrifyingly terrifying fluctuation suddenly descended.
