In a daze, Lin Qiye opened his eyes.
Staring at the familiar ceiling, Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time before slowly getting out of bed.
Although his head was still a little dizzy, it was much better than before.
This is... Hongying's house?
Lin Qiye had lived here for over a month, so he naturally recognized the room. He rubbed his temples, turned around, and got out of bed.
Creak.
He pushed open the door and saw a group of people already sitting in the living room of the villa.
Chen Muyi, Wu Xiangnan, Hong Ying, Wen Qimo, Si Xiaonan, Instructor Hong... But no Lin Xi Chen.
Hearing Lin Qiye's door open, everyone looked up. Hongying's face darkened, and she slapped Wu Xiangnan on the back of the head!
"I told you to keep your voice down! Now you've woken up Qiye, haven't you?"
Wu Xiangnan:???
"Lin Qiye, are you feeling better?"
"Hmm, everything's fine now..." Lin Qiye said, walking down the stairs, "How did I get here? Is Xiao Chen fine?"
"You overexerted a lot of your mental energy in a short period of time, which caused you to faint." Chen Muye moved to the right on the sofa to make room for you. "Later, Hongying and Qimo arrived in time and brought you back directly from the car."
"About Lin Xi Chen... She still sleeping in her bedroom right now."
Lin Qiye sat down next to Chen Muye and looked at Instructor Hong with a puzzled expression.
"After dropping the recruits off, I went straight to Captain Chen. They were coming here anyway, so I came along," Instructor Hong smiled and continued.
"Lin Qiye, you saved everyone on the bus this time. I'll report this achievement for you, and if nothing unexpected happens, getting a medal shouldn't be a problem."
"Medal?"
"The Night's Watch's merit system is a bit different from the military's; you'll find out when the time comes."
"Oh..." Lin Qiye nodded, his brows gradually furrowing. "But why were we attacked by missiles? Shouldn't this be under military control? Who attacked us?"
Instructor Hong and Chen Muye exchanged a glance, and the latter said helplessly, "They're not attacking you. Their target is just you and Lin Xi Chen, or that chubby kid."
"The Church of the Ancient Gods?" Lin Qiye wasn't stupid. Wang Mian had warned him before that as an agent of the Seraphim, he would inevitably attract the attention of the Church of the Ancient Gods.
Moreover, they were now an agent of both the high squences God and the Goddess of Night, making them unprecedented agents of two gods!
It's understandable that the Church of the Ancient Gods couldn't hold back and took measures against him.
"Judging from the current situation, they must have been involved." Instructor Hong nodded.
"We just received information from the military that Missile Launch Base No. 39 has fallen. However, most of the missiles require dual keys, so theoretically, even if the launch base falls, it cannot be launched without permission from the central government."
"However, since five missiles were under maintenance, only one key was available, which she exploited."
"Was it done by people from the Church of the Ancient Gods?"
"When our people arrived at the scene, they found a large number of shattered stone statues and pieces of flesh, as well as a snake's eye smeared with blood..."
"Stone statues and snake eyes?" Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "Medusa?"
"Yes, she should be Medusa's agent who recently joined the Church of the Ancient Gods, codenamed [Snake Woman]."
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, "So this holiday is actually also for..."
"To protect the new recruits," Instructor Hong said.
"Their target is nothing more than you, Lin Xi Chen or Baili Tuming. By sending you out of the training camp under the guise of a holiday, they can not only divert attention and prevent other recruits from being affected and suffering unnecessary casualties, but also hide you from the light and prevent them from continuing to use weapons of mass destruction."
Moreover... even the current training camps aren't necessarily an impenetrable fortress.
Lin Qiye sighed deeply, "I understand now. No wonder they ended the physical training early, released our forbidden area, and allowed us to break through as quickly as possible. They even allowed us to bring swords out of the camp..."
"Anyway, be careful these next few days, and... try to go out and about as much as possible."
Lin Qiye was taken aback.
Logically, as the primary targets, he and Baili Pangpang should have hidden themselves well and avoided going out unless absolutely necessary.
Why...?
"You want to use me to lure them out?" Lin Qiye suddenly realized the key point.
"That's right, simply running away isn't the solution. Since they've already endured this for over five months, they can continue to endure it and waste time with us..."
"They can hold out, but we can't."
"Therefore, we must use this four-day holiday to sweep them all away!"
Instructor Hong continued, "But you don't need to worry too much. We've already sent some absolutely trustworthy instructors into the city to secretly protect you. Moreover, Chief Yuan, as a 'Sea' Realm expert, is also keeping a close eye on the situation. They can't cause any major trouble."
Hongying stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, Qiye, with us in Cangnan, no one can hurt you!"
"Now Leng Xuan is hiding somewhere, holding a sniper rifle and guarding this area. Nothing can escape his eyes," Wen Qimo said with a smile.
Lin Qiye was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face. "Actually, I'm pretty good at fighting now."
"What about Baili Tuming? Where did he go?" Lin Qiye turned to look at Instructor Hong.
"After he got off the bus, he went straight to a five-star hotel in Cangnan. I heard the butler has already booked a room for him... Oh, and he also asked me to tell you that the room number is 9039, and that you should go see him when you have time."
"...Got it."
"Alright, since everyone's alright, I'll head back to camp now." Instructor Hong stood up and addressed the people inside.Lin Qiye asked in surprise, "Wasn't the training camp already bombed?"
"With Commander Yuan there, nothing will happen at the training camp. However, we need to catch the mole as soon as possible..." Instructor Hong waved to Lin Qiye, "See you at the training camp."
"Mm."
After Instructor Hong left, Chen Muyi slowly stood up, seemingly remembering something, and turned to Lin Qiye, saying:
"Qiye, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, what are your plans?"
Lin Qiye raised his head, his eyes brightening slightly, then gradually dimming as if he had thought of something.
"No."
"Then you can go grocery shopping with Hongying and the others tomorrow morning, and come to the agency for New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night." Chen Muye walked to Lin Qiye's side, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "I'll cook."
Lin Qiye was taken aback, but a smile reappeared on his lips, and he nodded.
"Captain, aren't you going to stay and protect Qiye?" Hongying pouted, looking somewhat unwilling.
"With you, Xiao Nan, and Leng Xuan here, what do I have to worry about? Besides, the firm isn't far from here. If anything happens, I can come over with a knife. And... do you have a place for me to stay?" Chen Muye said helplessly.
"People always have to grow up, Hongying. You can't protect Lin Qiye and Lin Xi Chen forever." Wu Xiangnan also stood up. "One day, they will leave this place and become strong people who can stand on their own. Giving them too much protection now may not be a good thing."
"Hmph, you're just lazy!" Hongying made a face at Wu Xiangnan.
Wu Xiangnan ignored Hongying's provocation and walked straight to Lin Qiye, reaching out to touch his arm with a smile on his lips.
"Good lad, you've gotten strong!"
After saying that, he waved to Lin Qiye and followed Chen Muye out of the villa.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Wen Qimo, who was sitting motionless on the sofa.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Wen Qimo said seriously, "I can sleep in the same bed with Lin Qiye and protect him closely!"
