Chapter 1773: Revelry
Turek's gaze swept across the surroundings, where groups of young Night Watch members had gathered together, excitedly discussing the God Hunt Festival. His eyes revealed a hint of mockery:
"Everyone says the Great Xia Night Watch is formidable and troublesome… but now it seems, they're just a bunch of children with nothing but passion and ideals."
"Indeed, if this is all there is, I alone could kill every Night Watch member on this ship." Kira spoke leisurely, "According to intelligence, those who came to participate in this event are all core members of the Night Watch… How ridiculous."
Turek considered for a moment, "Could it be possible that the information they provided is false?"
"You mean they claimed the attendees were core members, but in reality they called up novices? Why would they do that? To lure us over, then send a bunch of rookies to make it easier for us to slaughter them?" Kira paused for a moment,
"Regardless, their age and strength can't be faked. As long as we strike, we will definitely teach the Night Watch a bloody lesson…"
Turek thought about it and indeed, that made sense.
They lied externally saying core members were coming, but actually sent a bunch of rookies. That would indeed make them underestimate us… but it would also make it easier for us to kill them! Weighing the two options, clearly the Night Watch would be at a greater disadvantage.
"By the way, I heard there are more than just our group of people?" Turek seemed to have thought of something.
"There should be more than just us." Kira's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze quietly swept the surroundings, "Not only us from Olympus, but Divine Desire Paradise and the Hidden Gods also got the news. Who knows how many Night Watch members on this ship have been replaced by them?"
"That way, we'll have quite a show to watch."
The outline of Sunken Dragon Pass drew near on the horizon, and the many young Night Watch members on the ship rushed to the bow, gazing at the magnificent silver-white city with faces full of reverence and longing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!
On top of that silver-white city wall, fireworks densely shot up into the clouds, colorful sparks burst forth continuously beneath the sky, as if welcoming their arrival.
Immediately after, cheerful music rang out from the speakers, echoing across the sea surface. It was a kind of melodious and graceful instrumental sound, as if possessing an intangible magic that continuously stirred everyone's hearts.
Under the overlapping fireworks and music, the young Night Watch members cheered—this was a狂欢 that belonged solely to them!
Even Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi at the edge of the crowd stood with mouths agape, staring blankly at the fireworks filling the sky. It was their first time seeing such a grand spectacle.
"So this event is really that grand?" Zhen Xiaoyi murmured to himself, "It's a pity Sister Hongying and the others didn't come… If she saw this, she would probably be overjoyed, right?"
As the ship gradually approached Sunken Dragon Pass, the heavy city gate slowly opened. After passing through the open waters, the vessel finally docked at the central berth.
The Night Watch members followed guidance through the inner wall, and a magnificent city appeared before their eyes.
Whirring helicopters盘旋ed above Sunken Dragon Pass. Beneath every few helicopters hung a massive cross, and the skeletal remains of gods were bound to the divine corpse racks. Guided by staff, they were consecutively fixed at the highest points of the city wall.
That was the core of this celebration, and also the hunting achievements humanity had gained over four years.
Many Night Watch members stood beneath the city wall, gazing at the nine massive divine corpses, momentarily forgetting to enter the city… Even though they were merely corpses, terrifying pressure still emanated from them, an existence absolutely beyond the reach of these newcomers.
They stared blankly at these divine bodies, seemingly unable to imagine what means could possibly kill such terrifying gods?
Of course, compared to this, Turek and Kira hiding among the crowd had rather gloomy expressions.
Among these nine divine corpses, there were quite a few familiar faces from Olympus… Of course, that didn't matter much to them as agents. What they feared was the humans capable of killing these gods.
Would those people also come to this celebration today?
Guided by Sunken Dragon Pass staff, the Night Watch members entered the city, only then discovering that besides cold, massive military equipment, there were also free barbecue stalls set up everywhere. Flags with the Night Watch emblem pattern fluttered throughout the pass, and lively vendor calls rang out continuously.
"There is still one hour until the formal ceremony begins. During this time, everyone may walk around and enjoy the food. The central stage will have celebration performances, which you may also watch. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to find us." The staff said politely.
Seeing this, the young Night Watch members didn't stand on ceremony and immediately scattered, curiously beginning to tour this strategic fortress.
However, Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi had no intention of wandering around. The most important mission of this trip hadn't been completed yet; they wouldn't feel at ease until they delivered the dumplings they were carrying.
"So what do we do? Split up and search?"
"Wouldn't splitting up be too dangerous? Let's search together instead?"
"This is Sunken Dragon Pass, where would the danger come from?" Jia Shasha shook her head, but seeing the worry-filled eyes of Zhen Xiaoyi, she still said, "Let's search together then. If we split up and get separated, that would be troublesome instead."
"Mm."
The two walked in a certain direction with heavy backpacks, their gazes seriously scanning the surroundings, searching for that figure cloaked in crimson.
A moment later, music suddenly started playing on the central stage, drawing the attention of a group of Night Watch members.
Two Night Watch members in elaborate costumes held small cards and stepped onto the center of the stage, smiling as they spoke:
"Welcome everyone to our 'God Hunt Festival.' Next, please enjoy our first program, brought to you by the Phoenix Squad—the play, 'I Love Work, Work—'"
Upon hearing the words Phoenix Squad, the Night Watch members below the stage immediately erupted in excitement, applauding wildly.
Most of them were new members who had recently joined the Night Watch. Special squads were mysterious existences symbolizing strength and glory to them. Having the chance to see a special squad in the flesh today, they were naturally filled with anticipation.
As the stage lights dimmed, then gradually brightened, a pained figure resembling a zombie twisted its way out from backstage.
Her whole body was bound in chains, her cheeks were withered, her eye circles were pitch black, looking like someone who was overworked and about to collapse. On her head, she bore the bright red characters "Work," and as she walked, she laughed and cried maniacally:
"I love work! Work—I! Hahahahaha… I love work!! I love work!!!"
