The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Even before she became a leader, Shirin would complain about the despicable leadership and grumble about how they pushed all the messy things onto her.

But when Shirin herself became a leader, what she did... was equally inhumane.

She pushed all those troublesome tasks onto other people, like Yan Rulong, Xiao Yan, Commander Yan, and so on.

Meanwhile, he happily stayed in his room studying his alchemical potions.

They developed a new drug formula, kept the most important one as a secret weapon, and sold the rest to the Watchers in exchange for resources, thus achieving perpetual motion.

Shirin's life was so decadent... well, carefree.

For a legend, this is perfectly understandable, and even the Overwatch League is aware of it.

The strong have their own privileges, and not every legend likes to interact with others, which is understandable.

Xilin never hid her little tricks and wasn't afraid of others finding out.

So what if you know? What's it to you? Or are you trying to teach me how to do things?

But Shirin was still shocked, because the problem wasn't there!

The phrase "resignation application" deeply offended Shirin's sensitive nerves.

!

!

Question:

When the legendary branch manager, Shirin, submitted her "resignation" in protest, who had the authority to approve it?

A legend of the same rank?

No, not enough.

Even if there are Watchers dedicated to handling internal affairs, the appointment of a legendary-level division minister is not something they can handle from the outset.

Only those beings above the legendary level can handle these things.

A being that surpasses even legends.

There must be something beyond the legendary, and Shirin knew this perfectly well. She even knew that there was more than one such person in the Watchers alone.

But she had never actually met the Legendary One face to face; this was her first encounter with the Legendary One.

It's not that she didn't have the opportunity; she certainly had the qualifications. The only reason was that she was a homebody.

She's such a homebody.

They prefer to stay home and lie still rather than go out and socialize, adhering to the principle of "staying still if possible."

But coming back to the point, Shireen's shock at this moment was not the excitement of encountering a legend...

Her wide eyes gradually returned to normal, and Shirin came to her senses, gritting her teeth and looking at the stargazer with resentment.

OK!

So you're the one who gave me permission, right?

They jumped out on their own!

I was just protesting, how could you agree to it without any sense of morality?

You people are so mean, so mean.

Her resentful gaze was undisguised, and she even seemed to be pleading a little.

She felt a sense of security from the woman in front of her, who was undoubtedly a high-ranking official.

It was as if she had truly met an elder; the sense of peace in her heart made her unconsciously act in some unusual, childlike mannerisms.

With his light-colored eyes lowered, the stargazer deliberately avoided looking directly at Shirin.

The Stargazer shook his head at Shirin's cutesy act and said softly:

"Don't look at me like that. I mean you no harm. I just want to see you."

Meeting you, the branch manager who voluntarily offered to resign, is also to meet the people surrounding him.

The stargazers never expected things to turn out this way.

Compared to when she was first seen, Shirin's soul has changed and is no longer full of cracks.

So that's how it is. It seems she's finally no longer alone.

That little elf girl who had just joined the Watchers and would only hide in a corner to secretly shed tears and miss her family has now found a new family.

【family】

What a nostalgic word.

I... once had a family.

Thinking of those who had long since vanished into the river of time, the stargazer felt a pang of melancholy, but this feeling quickly faded away.

Time is the most ruthless thing, so ruthless that even this kind of pain can heal in the long wait.

The wounds deep in my soul still ache faintly, but no matter how painful it is, those people will never come back.

After thinking for a moment, the stargazer realized there was no need to ask the questions he originally intended to ask, so he changed his question and asked instead:

"Are you serious about that application, or is it just a protest?"

This question, rather than being a genuine inquiry, was more of an opportunity for Shirin to reconsider.

Are you really going to resign from that position?

In this space, stargazers want to hear the true thoughts deep within each other's souls.

"That was just a protest and a complaint. How could I give up such a comfortable and free life..."

She answered subconsciously, but as she spoke, Shirin's voice grew softer and softer, and she finally shut her mouth.

Frowning, she pondered in silence for a long time before finally raising her head again and softly saying:

"...No, I still want to resign."

Even though she was confused at the beginning, after really thinking it over, she had already come to a conclusion.

Xilin wants to stay by Ning Feng's side.

Instead of the current situation where Jiang Wan can leave with him while he can only stay in Bincheng.

Unlike now, where one wants to protect him in secret but can only hide their identity and disguise themselves to sneak in.

Even if a legend doesn't feel ashamed to be mixed up with a group of contestants, does she feel proud?

Xilin also felt uncomfortable, but that feeling was overshadowed by her desire to stay by Ning Feng's side.

She can do it, but that doesn't mean Shirin likes it; it makes her feel isolated.

“I don’t hate my responsibilities. Although I may not seem to put in much effort, that’s only when they can handle things themselves, and my strength is not necessary.”

The responsibilities she bore as a watcher, coupled with her desire to be by her lover's side, were two emotions that constantly intertwined and influenced her decisions.

But this difficult choice eventually came to a conclusion.

At the moment when Ning sealed her life in front of her.

The moment that damned prophecy came true, Shirin's spirit collapsed.

In that sorrowful moment, she understood what she truly cared about.

If an insignificant person dies in front of her, or even if it's a familiar colleague who sacrifices themselves, Shirin will be furious and will try to find a way to take revenge.

But she would never feel fear.

As Ning Feng's life continued to fade away, Xilin felt her own soul was also slipping away.

A huge void forms in the deepest part of the soul, wanting to devour all reason and fill it with slaughter.

I can't lose him.

Absolutely not.

Otherwise, I'll go crazy.

Truly insane.

"I want to be by his side."

“Even if it might lead to unfortunate situations for others, I… don’t want to change my mind.”

"I would rather be unhappy like him than be unhappy like him."

Some people say...

Love is blind; it can make people lose their minds.

Shirin didn't know if there was any truth to this, but she was calmer than usual at this moment.

She felt unusually rational at that moment, able to easily analyze her own heart and quickly sort out her previously chaotic thoughts.

Xilin knew clearly what she truly wanted and what she couldn't give up.

A strange glint flashed in the stargazer's lowered eyes; he hadn't expected Shirin to give such a frank and straightforward reaction.

is it?

That's your idea.

The stargazer slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

Somewhat naive, but not false.

As a stargazer of the Watchers, she might point out the selfishness in Shirin's choice.

But as a stargazer herself, she didn't dislike Shirin's naive idea.

Humans are emotional beings.

Everyone has different choices; they are the ones who make the choices, and they are also the ones who bear the consequences.

Some people call this fate.

But stargazers only see it as a choice.

There's a road; some people go left, and some go right.
