Shangjing.

After getting off the train, Jiang Shiyuan took a taxi to the Night Watch headquarters.

"As expected of the Night Watch headquarters, it looks really impressive." Jiang Shiyuan looked up at the skyscraper in front of her and exclaimed in amazement.

Upon entering the building, Jiang Shiyuan found a staff member and explained his purpose.

The staff member looked Jiang Shiyuan up and down a few times, then pointed in a direction, "The Phoenix Special Team is still on a mission at the border. They should be back in the next day or two. Go there and register first. Someone will notify you as soon as the Phoenix Team returns."

"Okay, thank you," Jiang Shiyuan said politely.

After registering, due to the special function of the Phoenix Squad, Jiang Shiyuan could only find a place to stay in Shangjing and wait for the Phoenix Squad to return after completing their mission.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, she received a call from the Night's Watch headquarters.

Jiang Shiyuan rushed to the Night Watchers headquarters and was led to a room by staff. She nervously pushed open the door and saw several people sitting inside.

"It seems our substitutes have arrived."

"Another beautiful young lady! Our team's looks are truly top-notch!"

"..."

Jiang Shiyuan slowly walked into the room and looked at the eight people in front of the table. The familiar interview scene made her feel like she was back in Team 136.

"Jiang Shiyuan, substitute member of Team 003 [Phoenix], reporting for duty..." Jiang Shiyuan's voice was a little hesitant.

"Don't be so nervous. It took me a lot of effort to get Commander Ye to agree to let you join our team~" Xia Simeng said with a smile. "We originally wanted to bring Lin Qiye over as well, but the higher-ups wouldn't agree. But thankfully, you're already in our hands!"

"Ahem—" Kong Shang coughed lightly, reminding him, "It's time for him to join our team."

"Oh, right, you're going to join our team, hahaha." Xia Simeng readily changed her tune.

Everyone else fell silent at Xia Simeng's nonsensical tone; their captain was as brash as ever.

"Well, Jiang Shiyuan, let me introduce you. I'm Xia Simeng, the captain of the Phoenix team!" Xia Simeng stood up and introduced the team members to Jiang Shiyuan.

"This is the only male soldier in our squad, and also our deputy captain, Kong Shang."

"This is Linglin, this is Cao Sha, this is Tong Sheng, and this is the Third Prince..."

As Xia Simeng introduced them, Jiang Shiyuan bowed to each of his seniors.

After the last team member finished introducing himself, Xia Simeng told Jiang Shiyuan not to be so reserved, "Don't be so nervous, we're not going to eat you, sit down!"

Xia Simeng, with her blonde hair, smiled and looked like a beautiful older sister, which eased Jiang Shiyuan's tension.

Kong Shang handed Xia Simeng a cell phone. "We've been assigned another mission. Mythical artifacts have appeared near the South China Sea again, and we need to go and eliminate them."

"South China Sea? Is it some kind of 'mysterious' place overseas?" Linglin asked.

"They're from the [Masked] side. They're on another mission right now, and they've assigned it to us," Kong Shang said helplessly.

"I just got back and haven't even had a barbecue yet! I'm going to complain! I'm going on strike!" Xia Simeng was furious and started cursing, her smiling image instantly shattered.

"The plane is ready." Kong Shang was quite calm, already used to his captain's unreliability.

"So annoying, so annoying! Once this mission is over, I'm definitely going to apply for leave!" Xia Simeng cursed as she opened the door.

Jiang Shiyuan was a little confused as she followed in the footsteps of her seniors.

Even after boarding the plane, Jiang Shiyuan was still a little dazed. She realized that the Phoenix team hadn't even been on the plane for ten minutes before they were already starting work.

But her luggage is still at the hotel! She only booked a room for a week, and she doesn't know how long she'll be gone. Will her luggage still be there when she returns...?

"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Linglin asked with a smile.

"Yes, there is a little bit, but I will try my best to overcome it." Jiang Shiyuan nodded shyly.

"The situation in Great Xia is urgent now, and there are more mysterious entities infiltrating the country than ever before. As a special team, we will be busier than in previous years," Kong Shang sighed.

"So, Shi Yuan, I hope you grow up soon and help us share some of the work!" Xia Simeng crossed her legs, her face clearly showing that she didn't want to go to work.

"Captain, stop emphasizing it. Commander Ye said that Jiang Shiyuan is only temporarily in our team. Don't scare her away!" Tong Sheng had a headache.

Jiang Shiyuan seized the opportunity and continued, "Captain Xia Simeng, I want to ask why I was transferred to the [Phoenix] Special Squad?" Her assessment results weren't particularly outstanding, and even if she were placed in the capital because of her status as a divine agent, she wouldn't be so puzzled.

"Of course, I snatched you away from the higher-ups!" Xia Simeng smiled brightly, revealing a set of white teeth, looking quite smug. "I had heard that there were some promising recruits in the recruit training camp. Aren't promising recruits meant to be snatched up? You and Lin Qiye are both agents of the gods, so I had to get one of you no matter what! But luckily, apart from our [Phoenix] team, other special teams don't like to recruit new teammates, which is why I was able to get you so easily!"

"Our captain bombards Commander Ye with dozens of calls every day. Which special forces team can compete with us?" Kong Shang complained.

"Are you trying to ask why other teams don't recruit new teammates, while our [Phoenix] team is willing to make significant changes to our roster?" Linglin saw through Jiang Shiyuan's real question.

"Yes! Yes!" Jiang Shiyuan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Over the years, there have only been a few special teams. Some team members have died, some have been injured, and some special teams have even been completely wiped out." As Linglin spoke, the cabin fell silent.

"With veteran team members constantly dying and new members yet to grow up, Great Xia will inevitably fall into this vicious cycle sooner or later."

Xia Simeng became serious for once, “The Phoenix Squad is a special squad that needs to be injected with fresh blood at all times so that the Great Xia Dynasty will never perish and the Phoenix will live on forever.”

Jiang Shiyuan was shocked. In fact, the Phoenix Squad didn't have much screen time in the original work. What impressed her the most was that Xia Simeng was tortured by Hades, then bled to save many ordinary people, and finally died using the 'Ghost God Guide'.

Looking at Xia Simeng, who was alive and full of vitality, and thinking about her tragic future, she felt an urge to send Sanjiu razor blades again.

……

After a two-hour flight, a staff member came to the front of the cabin and informed them that they had arrived at their destination.

Xia Simeng stood up. "We've arrived! Everyone, let's get to work!"

The members of the Phoenix team stood one by one at the hatch, jumping straight down without any protective gear.

The strong wind at the cabin door left Jiang Shiyuan quite disheveled. She looked at Xia Simeng with some confusion, wondering what to do.

"I might need a parachute, but I've never learned how to use one before, and I don't know if I'll be able to survive..." Jiang Shiyuan said with difficulty, her throat tightening.

"Hahahahaha!" Xia Simeng laughed wildly, banging on the hatch next to her as she laughed.

At this moment, the Third Prince behind Jiang Shiyuan was also suppressing a laugh, "Today, let the captain take you riding a phoenix!"

The Third Prince leaped out of the plane, his figure instantly transforming into a giant fire phoenix.

Xia Simeng grabbed Jiang Shiyuan and was about to jump down!

Jiang Shiyuan: "...!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

As the nightmare became reality, Jiang Shiyuan's heart tightened, her nerves tensed to the limit, and she screamed in agony!

If Xia Simeng were to slip up and do something like that, she wouldn't be able to live anymore!

Fire Phoenix caught Jiang Shiyuan and Xia Simeng steadily, and then continued to swoop down to catch the others.

"Hmph...hmph..." Jiang Shiyuan was being held by the arm by Xia Simeng, slumped against the back of the fire phoenix, groaning and almost foaming at the mouth. The fact that she hadn't urinated yet was a testament to her bladder being so full!

Xia Simeng peered out to see the huge, mysterious figure on the sea surface.

"What is that? The Loch Ness Monster?"
