"Is it okay?"

Yu Chen on the screen blinked and said hesitantly, "It's been seven minutes since the server was launched! Converted into game time, it's already fourteen minutes!"

"What does it matter?"

Mo Tan, who was sitting at the dining table with his chin in his hand, shrugged at the computer camera and said happily, "I'm not online regularly to begin with, and I've been free these few days, so it doesn't matter if I skip a while, or even if I don't log in to the game for a whole night."

"I don't believe it..."

The girl in a white coat with her hair tied into a neat ponytail wrinkled her nose and whispered, "I heard that things in Dunbuya City must be very busy. Sister Xia Lian talked to me about you yesterday. She said that in the past hundred years, apart from Little Black and the Knight Commander of the Sun Cult, you are the only one who caused such a big commotion as soon as you arrived."

Mo Tan shook his head and said casually, "She is just surprised by what she has seen. We are the first group of aliens from a higher dimension to be mapped to the [Realm of Innocence] in tens of thousands of years. How can she be so short-sighted as the Saint of the Dawn Sect? Remember to teach her a lesson when you get back."

"Hey, then I'll tell her for you when I go back online today."

Yu Chen chuckled, and then poked the camera after Mo Tan raised his hands in surrender: "Come to think of it, you treated Teacher Tian Ping like this? He came all the way to help, but you drove him to Skork before he even stayed for half a day."

Mo Tan raised his index finger and shook his head gently, and said calmly, "No, no, Miss Tianping is a heroine. Only she and Luna, who are both capable and trustworthy, can be the spokespersons of our Holy Church in Skolk. The Son of Justice will ensure their safety. Of course, Luna has a higher security priority. After all, she is different from us. She is an NPC who cannot be resurrected."

"That sounds nice, but I've complained to you before!"

Yu Chen gently waved his small white fist, and then said seriously: "Don't get too tired. You know, whether it's the letters Yizou occasionally sends back or Tianping who has been investigating in the city for several hours, they all say that this person is extremely hard-working."

Mo Tan leaned back in his chair and said sincerely, "It's just some pretentious work and some on-the-spot learning of online management. Most of the work is actually done by others. Even if I'm not here, as long as there is a seal with the words 'Black Brahma' and the Holy Emblem of Dawn, Xia Liya Ain, who can easily forge my signature, can make Dunbuya City run efficiently."

Yu Chen, who seemed to be sitting on a bench in the atrium of the medical school in the center of the screen, rarely rolled his eyes and complained, "Xia Liya, Yizou, Jenny, Luna, and Tianping... I always feel that the people active around this person are all girls, but the one you should be with the most is missing!"

"There are also countless strong men such as Raymond, Mino, Philip, Avery, Romeo and Pig Spend the Night, etc."

Mo Tan immediately gave a careful reminder, and then added: "Besides, wasn't it you who asked Tianping to support Dunbuya City for world peace? This shouldn't be blamed on me."

Yu Chen pouted and made a super cute face to the camera.

Mo Tan chuckled and quickly drank a sip of Coke to calm himself down.

"You are such a person..."

Yu Chen poked Mo Tan's cheek on the phone screen and said helplessly, "Even if Nana had something urgent and couldn't go to the internship with me, you wouldn't have to keep video chatting with me to accompany me to the college building."

Mo Tan looked innocent: "Nangong said that it was dangerous to go on the road at night, so she asked me to accompany you for her."

"She's just fooling around! The school is full of people at this hour! It's not dangerous!"

Yu Chen couldn't help laughing and shook his head, "In the end you really cooperated with her."

“Actually, it’s still a little flawed.”

Mo Tan sighed and said with a regretful tone: "But I have already returned home. If you go to school now, I probably won't be able to take you there unless you don't mind being late."

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but silently drew an [o(≧口≦)o] on the screen through the small plug-in of the video function. The writing style was so standard, as if it was typed out with an input method.

"cough."

Mo Tan also stopped when he saw that things were going well, and quickly corrected his attitude and said, "It's mainly because I really haven't been busy these days. The cleanup work in Dunbuya City was completed last night. I can just video chat with you and walk a little while without delaying your road trip."

Yu Chen still didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and silently drew [(//////)] on the screen.

Just like that, the two of them fell into a silence that lasted about half a minute. It is worth mentioning that this silence not only did not make the atmosphere awkward, but even achieved an exceptionally harmonious effect when both of them were slightly distracted.

The girl in the center of the computer pursed her lips. She looked away obviously because she was shy, but after seeing the starry sky, she was inadvertently immersed in it and lost her mind.

The boy on the phone screen touched his nose, his eyes flickering as if he was a little guilty, but no matter where he looked, he never let the girl enter the blind spot of his vision, always leaving a slight glance for her.

Unfortunately, accompanied by a crisp bell ringing from the atrium of the School of Medicine of Tanhua University, the girl, who was originally pulled here by Nangong Na to intern together but had to come alone due to force majeure, was shocked. Her right hand holding Mo Tan subconsciously tightened, but before meeting the latter's eyes again, she carefully suppressed the reluctance and the impulse to act coquettishly in her heart, and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, my lord knight, in escorting me all the way to work."

"You got the wrong person."

Mo Tan closed his eyes to physically block the lingering feeling in his eyes, shook his head and said, "I am a pastor."

"makes sense."

The girl stood up gracefully and said with a smile: "Thank you for your company, Pastor Heifan."

The 'Black Brahman Reverend' also laughed, and said to the girl in front of him who was still a little clearer when she opened her eyes: "It is an honor, my highness."

"Well, let's put it this way for now! I have to go to the emergency room now, so you can't use your phone until I get off work."

Although 70% of the people around had already run away after the bell rang, Yu Chen still blushed a little after using the in-game name with Mo Tan in public. However, she quickly adjusted her state and emphasized, "Oh, by the way, Nana will be back in less than an hour. We will go back together after the internship is over today. You just focus on your work."

Mo Tan nodded gently: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Hehe, it's not easy to be a doctor!"

Yu Chen did not deny the fact that it was "hard work". She just waved to the camera with a smile, and then hung up the video after making up her mind for half a second, and went to report to the emergency department. Then -

“It’s not easy!”

The electronic synthesized sound that suddenly came from the external speaker startled Mo Tan. Just as he was trying to keep his balance and make sure he wouldn't fall off the chair, a pixelated man with long orange hair and round-framed glasses appeared in the center of the screen at the same time, pinching his throat and shrilly saying, "It's not easy! It's not easy!"

"Futaba..."

He immediately realized that he was being bitten by the blackened Motan crown, and asked the miniature man jumping around on the screen unhappily: "Even if you are better at using the computer than I am, you can't eavesdrop on everything!"

"Don't blame the uneven road if you are not good enough. If you have the ability, build a firewall to keep me out."

The pixelated man on the screen sneered and said in his own lazy voice in the game: "Don't worry, I just got here too. I was just thinking of turning off the microphone and waiting for you guys to finish the video call before coming out, but the girl hung up on you. Tsk tsk, you are no good, why don't you trick her out to skip class?"

Mo Tan did not answer the other party's question without any sense of boundaries, but just asked unhappily: "So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"On the one hand, I wanted to see if your computer skills had improved during this period, but it turned out to be as easy as beating a son. It was easier for you to hack into it than for me to turn on the computer. Tsk, tsk, you are so useless."

The pixel man smacked his lips and then said, "Then, I received a letter from Captain Ned."

"Uh... who are you talking about?"

"Captain Ned, the captain of our Fenrir team, wrote me a letter. I told you the first time I read it, but I didn't receive a reply, so I logged off to take a look. But... Hey, you're here to pick up girls."

"Don't talk about useless things. You just said... forget it, wait until I come online. The time ratio over there is more suitable for chatting."

"Okay, see you in the public space?"

"No, just send a message. Dunbuya City is too busy."

"...Okay, whatever you want."

……

Game time AM09:27
The third floor prayer room in the Great Chapel of Dunbuya City, in the northern part of the Holy Land

"call--"

Finally, he learned about the current situation of Fenrir's team from Futaba. Although a lot of information about the chaos in Academy City was concealed, he still roughly knew the current situation of Ned and others. After discussing with Futaba for more than an hour, Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

He did not feel annoyed, even though the matter was under his control from beginning to end, and he even knew the specific contents of the letter that Futaba saw. But when he talked about the past with Futaba, who had also become his 'old teammate', in the identity of 'Hei Fan', Mo Tan was actually quite relaxed and happy.

In addition, this "intelligence unification" has also eliminated a large part of the hidden dangers to a considerable extent, slightly smoothed out the information gap that may cause problems in the future, and further separated the two identities of "Hei Fan/Mo Tan" and "Tan Mo/BLACK".

All in all, this is a happy and positive event that can keep Mo Tan in a good mood before he gets sick and goes offline... if nothing unexpected happens.

Unfortunately, this time the accident also happened in a very unsurprising way—

Of course, this has nothing to do with Futaba. Although this girl can easily hack into the surface system of the computer, and even activate the camera and microphone permissions to monitor the movements in the room, Mo Tan, who has always been cautious, does not think that the other party can obtain any key information from this. After all, even if he has an "absolutely neutral" personality, he will not panic in his own home. If he does not panic, it is certainly impossible for him to be monitored by any possible eavesdropping and receive any uncontrollable information.

So the question is, since Futaba was fine, why did Mo Tan breathe a sigh of relief and look worried after their chat ended?
The reason was simple. When Mo Tan was chatting passionately with his old comrade in the prayer room, his adjutant Xia Liya Ain suddenly walked in. After noticing that Mo Tan was busy in a daze, she took out a feather pen, grabbed a piece of parchment on the table, wrote five short words on it, and left.

And the content on that parchment was——

[A messenger from Broken Head Cliff. 】

To be honest, after reading this line, although he was not shocked nor did his brain freeze, Mo Tan seemed to have lost the mood to continue chatting with Futaba. But the problem was that even if he lost the mood, he had to continue to eagerly ask about the details of Fenrir's team.

The reason is very simple. Under normal circumstances, even if such a thing happened, "Hei Fan" would definitely understand the current situation of Fenrir's team before doing other things. In other words, although Futaba also knew something about the situation in Dunbuya City, the excuse of "the messenger from the Cliff of Broken Head" was not enough to make Mo Tan interrupt the topic.

After all, if he revealed the fact that he had some knowledge of the information brought by Futaba, it would be very easy for the latter to connect him with 'Tanmo', and once this connection was established, the situation would probably get out of control in an instant.

And now-

"Let's start with the reasons."

Mo Tan gently rubbed his forehead and whispered softly, "The assault troops used to show off their muscles were killed, but they just gritted their teeth and swallowed their blood. Not only did they not take any revenge, they even sent out messengers... Ha, it really deserves to be the most difficult Broken Head Cliff in the Blood Barbarians. Just this kind of forbearance makes people feel that it is difficult to destroy it."

In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Mo Tan's mind, and after a moment they turned into a simulated, deep and sharp malice, filling this not-so-spacious prayer room.

That was not Mo Tan's malice, but the malice of the owner of the Cliff of Broken Head, [Evil Eye] Fyodor Gota.

The lizard that knows how to assess the situation, is good at risk management, and likes to collect chips is very smart, very smart.

But that's not a bad thing.

After all, the smarter people are...

Mo Tan stood up and slowly walked towards the door of the prayer room, with another shadow of himself flashing in his eyes, and the curve of his mouth was playful and arrogant——

“It’s easier to be misled by cleverness.”
