Ye Lan pondered briefly.
"It's fine. As long as they don't kill innocent people, assassins like this should be prepared to be killed in return..."
Thinking of this, Ye Lan put aside the fact that the Troupe Leader would kill people.
As long as Ye Xing was still there, she wouldn't let the Rising Sun Troupe harm the lives of innocent people.
Back to reality.
Bai Yuan coldly looked at the Star Eclipse assassin and said to everyone, "Step back and protect the Blank Diva. I'll eliminate this Star Eclipse."
Hearing this, a group of Night Watchers formed a circle, protecting Blank inside.
Bai Yuan gripped a giant ice sword, the ice beneath his feet spreading like a domain, raising waves of cold air, significantly lowering the surrounding temperature.
The Star Eclipse assassin didn't act rashly. Having just become a Star Eclipse, there was wariness towards this person in his mind, seemingly hesitating whether to launch a fierce attack or immediately retreat.
"I am... an assassin, I won't confront you head-on. I will kill you... one by one, just wait..."
Even after becoming a Star Eclipse, he still acted according to the principles of an assassin's identity.
A qualified assassin wouldn't confront someone stronger head-on.
Only by hiding in darkness could one find an opportunity to strike.
Unknown fear could give psychological pressure to the target.
Just as the Star Eclipse assassin was preparing to retreat, a piercing sound suddenly came from the sky.
It was an unidentified flying object, extremely unusual.
At this moment, this flying object suddenly erupted with a huge sound, like a sound wave resounding throughout the entire area.
Ding!!
The massive sound wave entered everyone's ears, accompanied by a mental pain, incredibly agonizing.
In this instant, Bai Yuan quickly realized what it was.
"Star technology!"
This kind of sound wave could stimulate the minds of Star bearers, rendering Stars unusable, like the "silence" and "stun" effects in games. It was also an important technology in the Night Watchers' base against criminal organizations with many Star bearers.
But why had this Star technology appeared here?
Bai Yuan covered his head with one hand and continued thinking, quickly realizing something.
Star technology wasn't exclusive to the Night Watchers' base.
As long as an organization could research Stars, they could also combine technology and Stars to create such technology.
In other words, was the Star technology appearing now from other Star factions?
Realizing this point.
Bai Yuan decisively acted, condensing an ice spike in his hand and shooting it towards the hovering aircraft.
His mental power was very high, his immunity to this kind of Star technology higher than others, so he could still barely use his Star.
Boom!
The aircraft instantly exploded, releasing an even stronger sound wave in an instant.
This sound wave was more terrifying than the one continuously released earlier, directly knocking out half of the Night Watchers.
Even Bai Yuan's connection to his Star was interrupted because of this.
Seeing this scene, the Star Eclipse assassin who was about to retreat changed his mind, advancing at an extremely fast speed. A pitch-black shadow appeared behind the Blank Diva, about to envelop her!
"No!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Lan, almost unaffected by the sound wave, rushed over to push her away.
The Divine Speed B, originally meant for running away, Ye Lan didn't use to escape, but to push away Blank who was about to be enveloped by the black shadow.
The next second, Ye Lan, instead of Blank, was grabbed by the back of her neck by the Star Eclipse assassin, appearing at a far distance.
"Why isn't it... the Blank Diva?!"
The Star Eclipse assassin, seeing that the person he grabbed wasn't his target, immediately became enraged.
"Why did you interfere!? Damn it! Damn! Last time too! This time too! You should die!!"
The emotions of this low-level Star Eclipse were very unstable.
Unlike the Star Eclipses of the Rising Sun Troupe, it was equivalent to an inferior Star Eclipse, which could be eliminated even without Radiant Sun Night Watchers taking action.
But inferior Star Eclipses also had their very troublesome aspects.
That is, their unstable state would make them very prone to harming innocent people, even endangering their lives!
Bai Yuan recovered from the state of mental pain, and when he saw Ye Lan being held by the Star Eclipse assassin, his heart felt as if it was being squeezed.
"Stop! Let her go!"
Blank also widened her eyes, her mind instantly going blank.
"Ah..."
Just now... had she been saved by Ye Lan?
Why would she be saved by a girl younger than her?
This shouldn't be, it was wrong.
Thinking carefully, it was all because of her existence that innocent people were put in dangerous situations.
Why? Wasn't she said to have a very powerful Star?
If so, then let it truly demonstrate its real function!
"I..."
It didn't matter if she didn't become a diva, it didn't matter if her sense of existence decreased, her singing wasn't for fame or profit to begin with!
As long as someone was willing to listen to her sing, as long as someone was willing to remember her, that was enough.
And that girl who had promised to remember her forever was now in danger because of her.
This was absolutely intolerable!
"..."
Even with Blank's good temper, she was thoroughly angered at this moment.
The exceptional Star within her body was responding to her emotions, erupting with unprecedented anger!
On the other side.
Ye Lan was being held by the neck and lifted into the air by the Star Eclipse assassin, struggling vigorously.
It was so painful!
"Ugh! Let me go..."
"Die!" The Star Eclipse assassin had lost control, ignoring Ye Lan's struggles, the power in his palm constantly increasing, about to crush the neck of the girl in his hand.
At this moment, Ye Lan finally realized how close death was to her.
Was she going to die?
...Indeed, approaching a dangerous Star Eclipse was a mistake.
Perhaps if she had just run away earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
"..."
What was the super-fast speed she initially wished for?
It seemed to be for self-preservation, to have the ability to distance herself from danger when encountered.
But now, she seemed to have gone against her original intention.
Yet she didn't regret it. She didn't want her favorite diva to come to harm, because it was a promise.
"Ah..."
Ye Lan's gaze gradually became hollow, the Star aura within her body constantly rising.
What wish did she have now?
The pain made it impossible to think.
Regarding this Star Eclipse, Ye Lan's wish was probably...
"Die..."
She held grudges.
On the other side, the Blank Diva whispered softly.
"Disappear..."
The next second, the out-of-control Star Eclipse assassin's aura paused, his voice suddenly stopping.
"What's happening...?"
The writhing black shadows beneath the Star Eclipse assassin's feet gradually disappeared, scattering like particles in the wind.
"What is this...?!"
The floating Star Eclipse assassin put down the girl in his hand, looking at his own hands in terror, finding that they were gradually becoming transparent.
Existence disappearing?
"Wait! My mission isn't complete yet! I can't exit the stage like this! I must have the Blank Diva! Even Night Watchers can't stop me! Ugh..."
In an instant, the Star Eclipse assassin became like death itself, no longer making any sound.
And his body was continuously becoming transparent, finally disappearing from everyone's sight, along with all information about him.
Ye Lan fell to the ground, coughing painfully, scared to the point of wanting to cry.
"Ugh... so much misfortune, I want to go home and sleep with Ye Xing..."
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
Ye Xing was hugging Qinglin Mio beside her and crying loudly.
"Wuwuwu! So scary, I almost died, I want to go home~"
Qinglin Mio was full of question marks.
"Eh? What happened? Didn't we already run to a safe distance? Why are you crying?"
"Wuwuwu!"
"Um... don't cry, there there."
Qinglin Mio had no idea what had happened, her expression a bit at a loss, she could only pat Ye Xing's head to comfort her.
And Ye Xing burrowed into her embrace, holding her tightly, as if instinctively grasping for someone nearby for a sense of security when drowning.
Back near the central stage.
Blank ran over to Ye Lan's side, gently lifting her up, softly comforting her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
"I almost died..."
"Mm, you're still alive, it's alright now."
A group of Night Watchers stood dumbfounded, as if something in their minds had disappeared, forming a strong contrast with their current environment, like something had been forcibly erased.
"What enemy appeared just now?"
"I don't know, that Star technology that appeared out of nowhere made my head go bonkers, damn!"
Bai Yuan, among them, gradually calmed down, thinking about something in his mind.
Although he no longer remembered what enemy he had just faced, he still remembered that two Star powers had erupted in an instant.
One came from Ye Lan, the other from the Blank Diva.
So was this current situation caused by the eruption of two exceptional Stars' power?
Bai Yuan didn't know exactly what had happened, he could only ask these two people.
But now didn't seem to be the time to inquire.
He looked at the two girls not far away, pondering.
"Withdraw the team. Notify the logistics personnel to search the surrounding areas. If they find the corpse of a Star bearer, immediately recover and process it to prevent the birth of a Star Eclipse."
"Yes."
Meanwhile.
The behind-the-scenes manipulator, watching the scene through a high-altitude aircraft in the laboratory, snorted coldly.
"Hmph, what a waste. I even dispatched Star technology to assist you, yet you couldn't handle such a small matter."
He was a scientist passionate about researching Stars.
For this mysterious power of Stars, his thirst for knowledge had always driven him to continue researching.
From the beginning, he had been constantly collecting Star bearers, using various methods to research the Stars within their bodies.
Although he hadn't made significant breakthroughs yet, he had managed to create Star technology with his abilities, mastering the core secret technology of the Night Watchers organization.
He also had quite a few Star bearers under him, but overall, they couldn't compare to those Night Watchers.
Wanting to collect such people meant having to be at odds with the Night Watchers.
He had considered cooperating with the Night Watchers, but his ideas weren't accepted.
When he heard about the birth of a legendary exceptional Star, he had the idea of capturing it for research.
Even if it was the noblest world diva.
However, in his eyes, there was no concept of nobility, only whether something qualified to be the subject of his research.
"Hmph, I'll find an opportunity sooner or later."
The arrogant scientist snorted coldly, preparing to continue finding ways to capture the Blank Diva.
But at this moment, an anomaly occurred.
He suddenly found his body behaving strangely, starting from his fingers, becoming somewhat transparent.
The arrogant scientist immediately widened his eyes.
"What's going on?!"
He quickly walked to the control panel to operate the equipment and check his body.
A beam of light scanned over, his body's data gradually appearing on the screen.
From the data, there were absolutely no health issues.
But why were his hands starting to become transparent?
Was it an illusion?
Was someone using high-tech products to trick him?
The arrogant scientist stared blankly at his increasingly transparent body, finally guessing what it was.
"Star power?"
Realizing this, the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a fanatical smile.
"I see! So there's even this kind of power? The direction of my research was indeed correct! If I can create more advanced Star technology, it would be a leap-like progress for the entire world! Hahaha!!"
As time passed, the body data displayed on the screen was gradually disappearing, as if being deleted by something, no longer observable.
And the arrogant scientist disappeared on the spot amid his laughter, as if he had never existed, all information about him completely vanishing.
Not just him, people were disappearing in various parts of the city.
Those were the entrepreneurs who harbored killing intent towards the Blank Diva and hired assassins to assassinate her, including related personnel who came. Anyone who wanted to harm the Blank Diva, without exception.
At that time, Blank didn't just think about making the Star Eclipse assassin disappear, but targeted all those who wanted to harm her.
Only in this way would people no longer come to protect her, and Ye Lan would no longer be hurt because of her.
It was that simple.
The power of [Existence Interference] erupted with her radical thoughts.
Even if this would cause some irreversible changes in her.
.....
Night Watchers' base.
After returning to a safe place, Ye Lan's emotions finally stabilized.
At this time, there was still some residual blush on her face.
After all, crying out of fear was really embarrassing.
It was purely a black history.
If someone had recorded that scene just now, Ye Lan would definitely fight them to the death.
But even the toughest man would probably be very scared when about to die, right?
So it was completely fine for Ye Lan to cry.
She was super afraid of death!
Thinking of this, Ye Lan's mood improved considerably.
Moreover, Blank hadn't been harmed, which was what relieved her the most.
"Ye Lan, does it still hurt now?" Blank asked worriedly, feeling somewhat guilty.
If it weren't for her, Ye Lan probably wouldn't have been hurt.
Ye Lan smiled and shook her head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Under Bai Yuan's orders earlier, Ye Lan had been surrounded by several medical Night Watchers for treatment, who had already healed that bit of pain.
It's just that the sensation of pain from earlier still lingered in her mind, and now thinking about it felt really annoying.
It even made her Ye Xing cry.
Not only did she lose face in front of the Blank Diva, but also in front of the Kiyomi Diva.
Black history +1.
At this time, Mo Tu, who seemed to have been waiting at the entrance for a long time, came forward with a smile.
"Welcome back, you've worked hard. Although the process was a bit exciting, overall it's good that nothing serious happened."
Bai Yuan glanced at him.
"It almost went wrong."
"I didn't expect it either. I'm only seventeen, haven't fully explored all the uses of my Star, my mental power isn't as good as yours, I can't attend to every detail, which is normal."
Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking Mo Tu was evading responsibility.
Then Mo Tu continued, "But this incident is indeed my responsibility. I made a prediction error. I'm very sorry I didn't consider the appearance of Star technology."
Mo Tu's current mental power was only enough for him to divine that the Star Eclipse would assassinate all competitors, but he didn't expect there to be an old sneak hidden in the dark controlling Star technology to interfere at the end.
This was definitely a serious mistake for Mo Tu.
