Chapter 393: The girl awakens and the past becomes clear
Jiang Er'er's elusive figure trembled slightly, and her empty eyes were like two ice spikes, piercing straight into everyone.
"Who... are you?" Her hoarse voice was as creepy as nails scratching on a blackboard.
Lin Qiye stepped forward and said gently, "We are the Night Watch, an organization that specializes in dealing with abnormal events. Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
"Night watchman?" Jiang Er'er repeated, her eyes still full of vigilance.
These three words were both strange and familiar to her, as if they had been buried deep in her memory for a long time, but were awakened at this moment.
Wu Hen came up to Lin Qiye, winking and whispering, "Boss, are you sure this girl isn't pretending to be Sadako?"
"This entrance is a true horror movie classic!"
Lin Qiye glared at him unhappily, "Be serious!"
He turned to Jiang Er'er again and took out the Night Watch's emblem from his pocket. "This is our identification."
The silver emblem gleamed faintly in the dim light, and the ancient runes seemed to possess some kind of magic, attracting Jiang Er'er's attention.
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved closer with her ethereal body, carefully examining every detail on the emblem.
"I...I think I've seen him somewhere..."
Jiang Er'er's voice was a little confused. She stretched out her translucent hand, wanting to touch the emblem, but retracted it the moment she was about to touch it.
Wu Hen's system suddenly popped up: "Ding! Mission triggered: Help Jiang Er'er recover her memory! Mission reward: Draw a random skill once!"
Wu Hen's eyes lit up. This wave is a sure win!
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Sister, don't be afraid, we are all family."
"Back then, I was just like you, a poor kid with amnesia..."
"Shut up!" Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and interrupted Wu Hen's nonsense. He felt his blood pressure was about to soar again.
Jiang Er'er's gaze moved back and forth among the crowd, finally stopping on the emblem in Lin Qiye's hand.
"I remember now..." she muttered to herself, a hint of fear in her tone, "Monster... Forbidden Ruins..."
Jiang Er'er suddenly raised her head and said hollowly, "Although my looks are indeed unparalleled in the world, and it's understandable that you fell in love with me at first sight, can we please make things clear first?"
He gave her a smile that he thought was so charming that it could kill people, and threw her a seductive glance.
Lin Qiye held his forehead with his hand. This guy started again...
He explained helplessly: "We are really the Night's Watch. Look, my name is on the coat of arms."
He handed the emblem to Jiang Er'er and pointed at the three words "Lin Qiye" engraved on it.
Jiang Er'er's empty eyes focused on the emblem for a long time.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Lin Qiye, her pale lips moving slightly but no sound came out.
The air around seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Suddenly, the old TV in the room lit up with a crackling sound, and after a few flashes of snowflakes,
Jiang Er'er's voice came from the TV, with a barely perceptible tremor: "I know... Lin Qiye... is number one in the training camp..."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This move was quite a show!
Fatty Baili scratched his head. "Number one in the training camp? Boss, when did you become so famous? How come I didn't know?"
Cao Yuanhai also looked confused. This news was too sudden!
Wu Hen's system popped up at the right moment: "Ding! Hidden mission triggered: Investigate the relationship between Jiang Er'er and Lin Qiye!"
"Task reward: a mysterious gift package!" Wu Hen was ecstatic. This melon was getting bigger and bigger!
He rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Qiye excitedly.
Lin Qiye frowned. Jiang Er'er knew him and seemed to know that he was the top of the training camp...
What exactly is going on?
He was about to ask when Jiang Er'er on the TV screen suddenly disappeared, replaced by a field of snowflakes.
"Wait..." Lin Qiye stood up suddenly and walked towards the TV.
Lin Qiye suddenly reached out and grabbed the TV screen, his knuckles turning white.
"Er'er!" He growled, but only grabbed a handful of air.
The snowflakes on the screen flickered more violently, as if mocking his helplessness.
Zila—the TV lit up again, and Jiang Er'er reappeared.
But this time, her expression was no longer one of fear, but instead contained a hint of relief.
"You...don't have to worry about me..."
She said weakly, "I...was the top recruit last year..."
"Number one new recruit?" Fatty Baili's eyes widened. "Even better than the boss?"
Wu Hen interrupted sarcastically, "Oh, I didn't realize this little sister is actually a hidden boss! My apologies!"
He cupped his hands, his face full of joking.
Lin Qiye glared at him, then turned to look at Jiang Er'er on the screen. "Er'er, do you remember what happened?"
Jiang Er'er's eyes were wandering, as if she was trying hard to recall.
"I... I remember I received a commission... a man... with a dog..."
"Man? Dog?"
Cao Yuanhai touched his chin and asked, "What commission?"
"The man... said his dog was lost..."
Jiang Er'er's voice became increasingly quiet. "Let me help you find..."
"Wait, a lost dog requires a night watchman?"
Wu Hen looked suspicious, "This is too outrageous!"
Jiang Er'er shook her head. "No... it's not an ordinary dog... that dog... is very strange..."
"Strange? Why is it strange?" Lin Qiye asked.
"Its eyes... are red..."
Jiang Er'er's voice trembled, "And...it always smiles at me..."
"Smiling at you?" Fatty Baili shuddered. "This is too weird!"
Jiang Er'er took a deep breath and continued, "I followed the man to find the dog... and then... we entered an abandoned building..."
Her voice suddenly became rapid.
"That dog...it suddenly turned into a monster...it...it..."
"What's wrong with it?" Lin Qiye's heart was in his throat.
Jiang Er'er raised her head suddenly, her empty eyes filled with fear.
"It...it killed that man...and then...it pounced on me..."
The room was silent, with only the crackling sound of the television.
"So... that man... is a believer?" Lin Qiye broke the silence.
Jiang Er'er nodded.
"Yes... yes... I remember... he had a believer's symbol... on his neck..."
"and many more,"
Wu Hen suddenly thought of something.
"You just said... that the dog killed the man... does that mean... that the dog... is the believer?"
Jiang Er'er didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.
Everyone fell silent again, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
"First seat..."
Cao Yuanhai murmured to himself, "Wind Earth Dragon Vein..."
Lin Qiye suddenly turned his head to look at Cao Yuanhai, "What did you say?"
