Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

Su Ming smiled and said, "Maybe we can find something interesting that will help you rediscover your former happiness. Besides, we're a team, and everyone cares about you and wants to see you smile again."

Hongying turned to look at Su Ming, a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, Captain. I know everyone is doing well, it's just that I..."

Su Ming gently patted Hong Ying's shoulder: "Let bygones be bygones, we need to look forward. Let's work together on this mission, okay?"

Hongying nodded slightly, a forced smile on her face: "Okay."

Seeing Hongying's smile, Su Ming felt a sense of relief. He knew it would take time for Hongying to fully emerge from the shadows, but this was a good start.

Just then, Baili Pangpang suddenly came over and asked, "Captain, what are you guys talking about? Is something fun happening?"

Su Ming smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just chatted with Hongying about this mission."

Baili Pangpang said excitedly, "I heard that Anta County is very cold. I wonder if there is any good food there. I don't want to go hungry while on a mission."

His words elicited laughter from everyone, and the atmosphere in the carriage became more relaxed. Cao Yuan took off his headphones and said with a smile, "All you ever think about is food. Don't let your gluttony ruin everything later."

Baili Pangpang retorted, "How could I possibly mess things up? My size might even come in handy later."

As everyone chatted and shared their thoughts and feelings, the train continued its northward journey amidst laughter and chatter. As time passed, the scenery outside the window gradually became more vast and pristine, with expansive forests covering the mountains and distant rivers shimmering silver in the sunlight.

Looking out the window, Su Ming felt an even stronger sense of responsibility. He knew this mission might be fraught with danger and challenges, but he believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and complete the mission.

Finally, after a long journey, the train slowly pulled into the Anta County train station. The team members packed their luggage and stepped off the train. A blast of cold air hit them, making them shiver.

The train station in Anta County is small and somewhat deserted. Only a few passengers are hurrying along the platform, and the surrounding buildings are rather old, giving it a rustic and tranquil feel.

Su Ming took a deep breath, looked at his team members and said, "Alright, we've arrived. Everyone, cheer up and get ready for the next mission."

The team members nodded, their eyes filled with determination. They followed Su Ming out of the train station and headed towards the county town. Along the way, they saw some local residents, dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes, their faces adorned with simple, honest smiles.

After finding a local inn and settling everyone in, Su Ming began gathering information about the mission. Based on local legends and some clues, the mysterious event they were searching for seemed to be related to an ancient temple. This temple was said to be hidden deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains, and few knew its exact location.

"It seems our mission this time is not simple," Su Ming said with a frown. "However, we will definitely find that temple and unravel its secrets."

The team members sat around in the hotel room, discussing their next action plan. Hongying actively participated in the discussion, her eyes no longer filled with emptiness and confusion, but with fighting spirit and determination.

“Captain, I think we can visit some local elders first; they might know some clues about the temple,” Hongying suggested.

Su Ming nodded: "That's a good idea. Tomorrow we'll split into two groups, one to visit the local elders, and the other to prepare some necessary supplies. Everyone, please be careful and stay in touch."

The team members unanimously agreed, knowing that this mission was just the beginning and many more challenges awaited them. But they were fearless, for they were a team, a Night's Watch team brimming with passion and courage.

In this cold, small northern county, Su Ming and his team are about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and mysteries, and their destinies will intertwine in this vast land to create a thrilling story...

The train rattled along, like a giant steel dragon traversing the vast land. As it slowly passed through Tianhe City, the bustling city flashed past the train window, and the crowds and dazzling array of shops on the platform caught the attention of Su Ming and his companions.

"We need to replenish our supplies. We don't know what we'll encounter in Anta County," Su Ming said, standing up. The team members nodded and followed him off the train into the market of Tianhe City.

The market was bustling with people, a cacophony of shouts and bargaining sounds filling the air with a lively, everyday atmosphere. Su Ming and his companions moved among the stalls, carefully selecting the supplies they needed. Baili Pangpang excitedly stuffed various foods into his backpack, muttering, "We need to stock up on a lot; it would be terrible if we went hungry in the wilderness." Cao Yuan carefully selected some lighting tools and protective gear, with An Qingyu helping him organize them, while Hongying diligently chose some warm clothing, since Anta County was located in the north, and the cold was one of its biggest enemies.

After their shopping spree, everyone returned to the train with heavy backpacks on their backs. The train continued its journey towards its destination, getting closer and closer to Anta County.

However, as the train approached Anta County, the distant scenery that had been visible gradually blurred. Su Ming frowned and looked out the window, only to see a thick fog spreading towards the train. The fog seemed to be alive, constantly churning and surging, quickly enveloping the entire Anta County. Looking out the window, all he could see was a white expanse, as if the entire county had been isolated in another dimension.

"Something's not right with this fog," Su Ming muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. The other team members also gathered around, their faces full of doubt and worry.

"Captain, is this some kind of evil thing?" Baili Pangpang swallowed hard and said uneasily.

Su Ming didn't answer immediately, but carefully observed the movement of the mist. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "No matter what, we have to go in and see. Something must have happened in Anta County. This may be the key to our mission."
