Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

Li Lian struggled with his conscience for a long time before realizing that he simply couldn't bring himself to hurt Lin Qiye.

I regret it!

Why are you on such good terms with Lin Qiye!

However, it might not be the case for those guys in Squad 136; they all looked down on him back then.

Who isn't petty at heart?

The next morning, all the new recruits in the camp, except for Li Lian, gathered at the training ground.

Yuan Gang stood on the training platform with a group of instructors, just like at the beginning of the recruit training camp.

"Every recruit performed very well in this rescue operation."

They did not flinch in the face of great disaster, nor did they flinch in the face of the enemy.

This showcased the spirit of our Night Watchmen!

As decided by higher authorities, each new recruit will be awarded a 'Spark' medal.

The recruits below the stage had their eyes light up. They never expected to receive a medal before even becoming official members of the Night's Watch!

"The work of the Night Watch is far more dangerous than you can imagine, much more dangerous!"

Perhaps by this time next year, some of you will have already sacrificed your lives.

But I hope you will remember everything you've learned here this past year.

Yuan Gang's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, even though he led new recruits every year.

But every new recruit was like his own child; it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for them.

"Now, roll call! Those whose names are called, come up to collect your medals and equipment!"

Deng Wei! Li Jia! ...Shen Qingzhu! Lin Qiye!

The recruits whose names were called walked onto the training platform one by one, and Yuan Gang pinned their medals on them.

Then he stepped off the stage wearing the standard Night's Watch three-piece suit.

When Lin Qiye was the last to receive the medal and equipment, he also saw the same items as Zhao Kongcheng.

A crimson cloak, a straight sword engraved with a name, and the Night's Watch emblem...

"I hope everyone can understand why these three pieces of equipment are chosen—it's because of their significance."

They are your comrades-in-arms, your trustworthy sword, shield, and faith!

Especially the Ghostly Guidance badge, it's not perfect; it can only give you a dignified way to die.

I hope that when you need to use it, you won't hesitate.

But I hope even more that you will never need it!

"Attention, everyone! The oath-taking ceremony is now beginning!"

The weather was lovely today, sunny and bright, with a gentle breeze causing the red flag on the flagpole to sway slightly.

Li Lian was sitting on the rooftop of the dormitory building, cuddling a husky.

I was petting the dog's head while watching the new recruits' oath-taking ceremony.

He strongly resisted these kinds of ritualistic things—oaths, medals—they were all just empty gestures.

But he really coveted those three pieces of equipment!

Although he wouldn't need any of it, Li Lian had chosen this path himself.

It's only right that he doesn't have the perks of a night watchman, Li Lian could only tell himself.

Those are all external things, they're all worthless, I'd rather not have them!

"...Sword drawn against the abyss, blood staining the sky!"

The recruits held their right hands, each gripping a badge bearing their name, against their chests.

Having loudly recited their oath, they became the Night's Watchmen from that moment on.

Perhaps we will never see each other again.

Li Lian just sat on the roof of the dormitory building, watching.

He didn't say goodbye to Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu, Cao Yuan, and the others.

After watching all the new recruits say goodbye to each other and drag their suitcases out of the training camp gate,

Mizuki felt like his head was about to be ripped bald, but Li Lian didn't stop.

Until Lin Qiye, dragging his Peppa Pig suitcase, stood in the center of the training field and waved to him,

Li Liancai, holding the dog, jumped off the roof.

"Let's go! It'll just be the two of us left!"

“Come on, I can see Sister Hongying standing at the door waiting.”

Li Lian smiled at Lin Qiye, then led the dog towards the main gate.

They were the first two people to arrive at the training camp and the last to leave.

As soon as Li Lian stepped out of the gate, he saw Hong Ying sitting in the carriage, reaching out to greet the two of them.

Then Li Lian watched as Hong Ying suddenly hugged Lin Qiye and dragged him onto the carriage.

They drove off... as if they hadn't even seen Li Lian!

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

Then don't blame me, Li Lian, for making your work more intense!

I was a little embarrassed at first, but this whole thing happened to me today...

Then I'm going to completely let loose! You guys better not regret it!

Lin Qiye was dragged into the car in a daze, and only realized what was happening after the car started moving.

"No, Sister Hongying! Didn't you see Li Lian standing right there too?"

"Huh? Li Lian? I saw him, so what?"

"You saw him, aren't you going to bring him in the car and take him back with you?"

Lin Qiye looked at Hongying with some surprise. In his memory, Hongying was not so heartless.

"Why take him back? We only received your transfer order, not his."

Lin Qiye only realized the problem at this moment: Li Lian had not been transferred!

That's it. Knowing Li Lian's temper, who knows how he'll mess with Squad 136 in the future!

"Sister Hongying, why don't we go back and pick him up? He just didn't graduate from basic training camp..."

"What?!"

Hongying slammed on the brakes; she truly hadn't expected that there would actually be people who couldn't graduate from basic training camp.

She originally thought that someone like Lin Qiye, who was assigned to their 136th squad, was already quite incompetent.

But what I didn't expect was that Li Lian could be even worse!

Are all the deities' agents these days so incompetent?

When Hongying received Li Lian's displeased look, she was extremely embarrassed.

Even though Lin Qiye was trying to explain on Hongying's behalf, Li Lian didn't say a word.

He held the dog, pretending to be Xu Shu, without saying a word.

Li Lian didn't say a word until the van returned to the Peace Agency.

After getting out of the car with the dog in her arms, she disappeared from Hongying and Lin Qiye's sight.

"Is Li Lian really angry?"

Hongying felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being watched by something unclean.

"I'm not sure if you're angry or not, but I'm sure that not only you, but the entire 136th squad is going to be in trouble."

Lin Qiye sighed, then gave Hongying a brief explanation.

Li Lian's actions in the training camp over the past year.

After hearing this, Hongying felt that she was terribly wrong and only hoped that she could find a time machine.

Go back to where you were supposed to pick someone up, so she can take Li Lian to the car.

When Lin Qiye arrived at the basement of the Peace Agency with Hongying, he found that everyone else was gone, except for Leng Xuan sitting alone in the restaurant.

Seeing Lin Qiye return, he walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.

One failure doesn't mean anything; just try harder next time!

I wonder where that kid Li Lian was transferred to. Could he have gone to Beijing?

Lin Qiye: (?_?)

Perhaps ignorance is truly a blessing!
