My second-year syndrome: All my fantasies have come true

It fits the face shape perfectly, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, which faintly flash with a chilling light through the gaps in the mask.

"who!?"

"Didn't you guys want to find me? Why do you have this expression when I'm here?"

The man with glasses felt awe in his heart, this... is this the legendary captain of the Night Watch who is always hard to find?

Karl on the side whispered: "Silently... it came so damn fast!"

Yeah, it came really fast.

The man with glasses couldn't help but marvel at the other party's methods, as he appeared beside them so silently.

“It’s an honor to meet you here.”

The man with glasses pushed his glasses up, and everyone who knew him knew that this was a sign of his extreme nervousness.

Chapter 161 Negotiation

The man with glasses pushed up his glasses and looked at the other person again.

I thought to myself, how could I meet the captain of the Night's Watch in such a simple way?

The seven or eight people around looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

"sit!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene around him suddenly changed.

They were already in a quiet bamboo forest, where a small and exquisite cottage stood quietly.

The cottage seems to blend in with the natural surroundings, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

The bamboo forest is lush and green, and the emerald green bamboo leaves sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, like a soft piece of music.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

And deep in the bamboo forest, wisps of mist slowly rose up. The mist was like a veil, floating lightly in the air, sometimes gathering into a ball, and sometimes dispersing.

Hallucination! ?

Or is it real!?

Were they teleported en masse to another location?

All kinds of questions suddenly popped up in my mind.

The man in black poured tea and said calmly, "The part that you cannot reach with your own power determines your future. No matter how hard you try, there are still things that cannot be changed."

Lu Xue frowned. Why...why did these words sound so familiar?

"Everyone, please have some tea."

Karl's face was full of vigilance, and he didn't dare to touch the tea at all.

The man with glasses hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a stool and sat down.

He took the tea and said, "Thank you."

He was not worried that the other party would poison him. The strength he displayed casually and the aura he exuded made it clear that he would not be poisoned.

"I finally meet the legendary captain of the Night's Watch." The man with glasses took the initiative to speak, "Please forgive our rude behavior."

The man in black waved his hand, "Get straight to the point. What do you want from me?"

"Your Excellency is indeed straightforward, so I won't waste my words. The Night's Watch in the European Union and the four Vatican cities have always kept their distance from each other.

Why are they brazenly going to war now, and not even willing to communicate? Are they really going to fight to the death?"

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment.

Go to war?

European Union?

He remembered that it was Bai Ze who was guarding the European Union.

Thinking back to the report Bai Ze gave him some time ago.

[On the evening of September 1st, a small-scale attack was launched against a cult in northern Europe.]

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I think this small-scale battle is not worth a face-to-face exchange between the two sides."

Small-scale battle!?

The corner of the glasses man's mouth twitched slightly.

From the other side's perspective, is this a small-scale conflict?

The four Vatican cities have now started a war with the European branch of the Night Watch.

The north was in chaos and both sides suffered heavy losses.

As for other losses, they are countless.

And the other side calls this a small conflict?

The man with glasses couldn't help but think of a line from The Three-Body Problem: What's it to you if I destroy you?

Maybe in the eyes of the other party, this is just a minor accident.

Thinking of this, the man with glasses felt the pressure increased a bit.

This negotiation...

"Then why did you attack us?" asked the man with glasses.

"Why...."

Lu Jing thought, you ask me who should go?

Besides, isn’t it the Night Watchmen’s job to eradicate cults?

"You should ask why we didn't attack you." Lu Jing asked in a deep voice.

The man with glasses swallowed subconsciously and felt a huge sense of oppression.

"Your Excellency, are you going to break the peace between the Night's Watch and the four Vatican cities and plunge the northern part of the European Union into complete chaos?

As far as we know, the death toll yesterday was 431, more than people lost their lives, including many innocent people."

Lu Jing: ........

what?

Four hundred people died in one day! ?

This is already the intensity of a small-scale war.

Didn’t Bai Ze say it was a small-scale attack?

Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, "So, you want to stop the war?"

“We don’t want to be enemies with the Night’s Watch, and I believe it is not your intention to cause so many innocent people to be killed or injured.

We have had peace for eight years, and in fact, until now, we have no idea why the Night's Watch would want to break it.

You may as well state your demands and we can resolve them through negotiation."

Having said this, the man with glasses paused.

Of course, if you insist on being our enemy, we, the four Vatican cities, will not surrender and will fight back!! "

After the man with glasses explained the pros and cons clearly, he waited for the other party's answer.

He believed that the Night's Watch would not start a war without a reason, there must be a reason.

Lu Jing crossed his legs and pondered for a moment again.

The four Vatican cities? Sounds pretty cool.

I guess his power cannot be small. More than 400 people died in one day. What on earth is Bai Ze doing?

Lu Jing frowned.

"I will consider this matter. Go back and tell your master not to go too far in future actions. This is my warning to them. Also..."

The man in black stood up and shook his black robe.

"You're going to let my people go!"

After saying that, the surrounding scene suddenly disappeared, and the figure of the man in black also disappeared on the spot.

They returned to their villa in the suburbs.

"Disappeared?"

Carl looked around, but could no longer see the other person.

"I didn't detect any energy fluctuations. It's not within our detection range at all."

"Did we reach an agreement or not?" someone asked puzzled.

The man with glasses breathed a sigh of relief, "This is already the best outcome."

"Is this a truce?"

Karl looked at the tied-up Lu Xue and said to the man with glasses, "What a pity for this woman..."

"Let it go."

"If we let it go, we'll have no bargaining chips, right?" Carl spread his hands.

The man with glasses looked at Karl as if he was a fool, "Are you a fool? The other party can appear in front of us out of thin air and disappear out of thin air.

Do you think it's difficult to take her away?"

Karl had no choice but to admit that what the man with glasses said made sense.

"Pity."

As Karl spoke, he uncuffed Lu Xue.

"When you get back, there will be plenty of beauties." The man with glasses said, "And don't you like girls under thirteen? When did you fall in love with this type?"

Karl glanced up and down at Lu Xue, "This type of novelty."

Lu Xue looked at Karl expressionlessly.

Carl smiled slightly, "See you next time."

"........."

In the bushes on the distant mountain, Lu Jing, who was watching the scene through a telescope, breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be just as I expected, and it temporarily frightened the other party.

The other party did not think that Lu Xue was such an important bargaining chip. The more important reason was that he believed that he had the ability to take Lu Xue away at any time.

In fact, Lu Jing was not sure that he could bring Lu Xue back safely with the existing equipment.

Lu Jing took out his cell phone and sent a message to the night watchman in Kyoto.

"Emergency mission!! There are cult members sneaking into the northwest suburbs of Kyoto, kill them without mercy!!"

"Tell the Vatican that we have contacted the captain of the Night Watch, and the communication between the two sides is... quite friendly."

The man with glasses said.

"I really don't know what they are going to do. Bai Ze refused to communicate with us, and the captain of the Night Watch sounded as if he was unwilling to fight to the death."

"The private plane is about to take off, and we have to hurry back to Europe."

Carl suddenly raised his head, "We are surrounded!"

This battle-hardened warrior was looking in a certain direction with burning eyes.

"......"
