"Old Zhao?"

Seeing the innocent-looking person emerge from the darkness, the members of the 136th Squad of Cangnan City were all stunned.

Upon receiving news that Zhao Kongcheng had encountered the Ghost-Faced King, they rushed over immediately, even though they had already prepared for the worst.

But when everyone saw Zhao Kongcheng, whose clothes were stained with blood and whose exposed skin had no visible wounds, they were filled with doubt.

Zhao Kongcheng raised an eyebrow and smiled: "What? You thought I was dead? Scared, aren't you!"

Hongying leaned forward and punched him on the shoulder: "Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? No, Lao Zhao, you're so amazing!"

The man's eyes flickered a few times, then he chuckled, "Of course, we were lucky this time, we awakened the Forbidden Ruins."

"Forbidden Ruins!" Chen Muye looked over and frowned slightly.

Zhao Kongcheng: "Hmm... It awakened halfway through the battle; it was serial number 083, 'Ming Sheng Shan Yue'."

Hongying jumped, her face beaming with excitement: "Really? 'The Radiant Moon'!"

Zhao Kongcheng looked proud. Of course! He said that if he also had a Forbidden Ruins, he would definitely be no worse than others!

Wen Qimo and Leng Xuan smiled and offered their congratulations.

Chen Muyi was not as happy as the others; he felt that there was something fishy about it.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the suspicious look in his captain's eyes, Zhao Kongcheng became even more guilty and had no choice but to change the subject:

"Oh, right, I managed to poach the god's agent!"

The man chuckled and scratched the back of his head. Thinking back to what had happened earlier, the pain in his body, though gone, seemed to linger.

He looked shaken: "Although this was quite dangerous, we've also gained a promising companion..."

He stepped aside, and Lin Qiye, who was behind him, also came over. Looking at the group of people in front of him, his face was full of frustration.

"he……"

Wen Qimo glanced at the boy, Lin Qiye, and asked, "Wasn't he unwilling? Is he willing now?"

Zhao Kongcheng chuckled and said, "Look, I tricked—no, I persuaded—this agent of the gods to come here!"

Lin Qiye glanced at him irritably: "I clearly thought you..." were dead...

He gritted his teeth. Who would have thought that Lu Yu would suddenly appear and perform a miracle for him?

Having made the vow and incurred the favor, Lin Qiye had no choice but to accept his fate.

However, he also understood that the peaceful life he wanted would not last forever; he had just been deceiving himself until now.

Thinking of what had just happened, Lin Qiye's eyes were still a little dazed.

It's like a traveler lost in the desert, lacking water, finding an oasis, receiving salvation, and feeling like they've survived a catastrophe.

……

Lu Yu drew the horizontal sword that had not damaged Zhao Kongcheng's body in the slightest and stood up.

She smiled and gave a slight bow to the man who had just woken up.

"Welcome back, General Zhao."

Zhao Kongcheng, who had just died in Lin Qiye's arms a second ago, woke up to find himself facing a beautiful young woman: "?"

Is he dreaming?

He looked around, and especially when he saw this vast expanse of lush greenery, he felt even more strongly that this was heaven after death.

Until he saw Lin Qiye.

"Hey! What are you doing, kid..."

Seeing the terror on Zhao Kongcheng's face, Lin Qiye guessed what the guy was thinking and immediately frowned, "He's not dead yet, he's alive and well."

"Ah... oh..."

Zhao Kongcheng shut up in frustration.

Lu Yu squinted, raised his hand and waved it to his side. The large patch of green disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

The soil beneath their feet had returned to its original state as damp cement.

Lin Qiye walked closer and, after confirming that the person in front of him had truly come back to life, was breathing normally, and even had his injuries completely healed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Lu."

Hearing the boy's earnest words, Lu Yu waved her hand dismissively: "It's what I should do!"

Lin Qiye shook his head: "Is there anything I can do to help you? At least I want to thank you for saving Old Zhao."

To make up for the pain that would have been a lifelong regret, without asking for anything in return, in Lin Qiye's opinion, Lu Yu was still too kind.

Lu, who amassed a huge amount of falsehood points: Meow? Kindness? Are you talking about me?

[You were right this time.]

The system also has to admit that when it comes to judging certain things, rational machines are no match for emotional humans.

This time, Lu Yu not only gained a lot of trust from Lin Qiye, but also unlocked a new skill.

Although the Divine Ruins was released briefly using tens of thousands of virtual words, Nuwa from the other world had already taken notice of this world, and their connection with the Primordial World had deepened.

To successfully construct the Primordial System in this world, you only need to spend half of the original required Virtual Word Value to achieve the same effect.

Lu Yu, who had been notified by the system, understood.

This means that now that she has gained a continuous supply of energy thanks to the protagonist, and with more than 30,000 virtual words left after using up 10,000, thanks to the help of the Goddess Nuwa, she only needs to obtain 70,000 virtual words specially provided by the protagonist group to successfully fabricate a divine ruin with 100,000 virtual words and truly possess her own divine ruin.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Lu Yu clasped her hands together in her heart, tears streaming down her face.

You should know that she originally needed to save 200,000 yuan to do all this!

……

Zhao Kongcheng then realized that it was the white-haired, blue-eyed girl in front of him who had saved him.

No, it should be that he was resurrected.

"you……"

Seeing that Zhao Kongcheng was about to ask something, Lu Yu immediately stopped him: "General Zhao, it's best not to ask. I hope neither of you will reveal that I resurrected General Zhao, no matter who it is!"

She turned to look at Lin Qiye.

"This is the only thing I need Nanaya to do."

Lin Qiye paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

Indeed, such an unusual ability seems to require secrecy.

Zhao Kongcheng was still a little confused: "Shouldn't I at least report this to the Night's Watch?"

Lu Yu: "You can say that I treated you, but let's not go into anything else, okay?"

She tilted her head to look at Zhao Kongcheng, "I saved General Zhao, it took a lot of effort. I hope you can keep it a secret for now. Later, I will tell you the truth about the Night's Watch."

After all, now is not the time! There is a traitor among the Night's Watch. If we report her ability to resurrect others now, it will definitely attract the attention of various forces.

She didn't want to be monitored and hunted down by the Church of the Ancient Gods so soon.

Although he was prepared to be targeted by the villains after joining the main characters, Xianyu Lu decided to prolong the time as long as possible.

How much joy can one steal in the fleeting moments of life?

Lu Yu tossed the knife into the knife case on his back, turned his back to the two men, and walked down the dark path.

"I will also join the Night's Watch later, but not now, so General Zhao, please keep this a secret for now as a way of returning a favor!"

The girl's voice became increasingly indistinct as the distance increased.

"And... Nanaya-kun, please take care of me for the next ten years~"

Lin Qiye and Zhao Kongcheng only looked away after the white figure completely disappeared around the corner.

The two looked at each other and made their decision at the same time.

……

Returning to the present, Zhao Kongcheng explained to everyone that a classmate of Lin Qiye had come along the way. She possessed the forbidden power of healing, so she helped heal his wounds.

Lin Qiye, who was standing nearby, also testified that his classmate did not plan to join the Night Watchmen at the moment, so they should not disturb each other's lives.

Lin Qiye's inner monologue: After all, Old Zhao has already bothered me enough. You guys can bear with it for now. Didn't that guy say he'd be here later...?

"Treatment? There's a doctor named Guang circulating among the Night Watch..."

Lin Qiye shook his head: "It shouldn't be that one. My classmate's surname isn't Guang."

Chen Muye pondered for a moment, then, having no other choice, decided not to make any further plans.

"Alright, Lao Zhao, let's go back and rest for a bit before we talk more,"

Chen Muye patted Zhao Kongcheng on the shoulder, "Take half a day off to rest. Tomorrow I will send Hongying and the others to pick up Qiye. We will also need to explain the precautions for joining the Night Watch to Qiye!"

Lin Qiye glanced at the night sky and decided it was time for him to go home. He then bid farewell to Squad 136 and ran into the rain.
