Shrouded in clouds and mist, the secret realm of midnight outside the world,
The ancient bluestone steps that go deep into an unknown place have an ethereal artistic conception. People who step on them can't help but wonder if they can attain enlightenment and ascend by walking all the way to the end...
Just the only visitor in recent decades,
The black-haired young man walking behind on the stone steps of the mountain road looked confused.
The moment he heard Li Ze strangely say, "There is no such trial in Midnight," Fangran shouted in his heart as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Ah, there is no trial!? No...isn't there the kind of trial that observes the outsider's character and character to see if he is qualified? There is, right? Generally speaking, there should be one according to the routine, right?"
"A place like Ziye, which is like a hidden sect, at least has rules for testing strength, right!?"
Faced with Fang Ran's surprising questioning, Li Ze had some unclear explanation:
"Qualified or not... In the final analysis, people who are not qualified and have no recognition cannot come here at all. They can only enter the middle of the night. This itself says a lot."
"As for testing strength, Midnight is not an examination room. It would be too rude if there were such rules."
Fang Ran: "..."
Damn, what you said makes sense...
"Not to mention that the person who can come here must have extraordinary strength and identity...Huh? Fangran, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just that the psychological shadow is a bit big. Can you please help me..."
Thinking that up until just now, for five or six hours, I had been catching birds from the sky, fishing for fish from the water, and plucking hairs and picking fruits for everyone.
Thinking that this is a test for outsiders in the middle of the night, I am eager to try it out in the novelty and never tire of it.
Fangran felt that he was so cute and stupid.
(╬╯ΩдΩ)╯︵┻━┻Ahhhh, damn it, I knew she wanted those things for herself!
Seeing Fangran's suddenly silent expression, Li Ze asked strangely:
"Fangran, did you encounter anything before you came here?"
The ancient steps paved with bluestone look moist and cool in the tranquility of the mountains.
There are ancient trees on both sides that look rarer than those in the forest at the foot of the mountain. The scene further down is shrouded in hazy clouds, and you can only occasionally glimpse a corner of the classical and splendid palace.
The air is so fresh that it makes you want to breathe faster...
Walking in such a scene, after listening to Fang Ran's description, Li Ze looked a little speechless and asked unexpectedly:
"That is to say, Fangran, have you been completing the 'trial' she mentioned since the agreed arrival time?"
"Yeah, I thought this was the normal procedure for coming to midnight..."
Fang Ran, who covered his face with one hand and felt ashamed to see others, was embarrassed to say that he had read too many fantasy novels.
I'm so stupid, really.
"(≧?≦*) La Meow?"
"You think this is all resentment, who, ah——!"
When the 'culprit' screamed happily as if in agreement, Fangran gritted his teeth viciously and rubbed it hard.
Then I remembered the figure of a girl with cloud-white sleeves and red brocade.
"By the way, who is she?"
"A girl of seventeen or eighteen... As far as I know, there seems to be no one who matches your description in the middle of the night..."
Listening to Fangran's inquiry, Li Ze thought for a moment with some doubts, but then shook his head gently:
"However, it might just be that I don't know him. After all, I haven't been here very long."
"I don't know...Li Ze, is there anyone you don't know in the middle of the night?"
He 'punished' a certain cat hard (although the other cat didn't realize it was punishment at all), and hearing Li Ze's words sparked curiosity again.
Before, she was embarrassed to ask questions when facing a strange girl, but after meeting an acquaintance, Fangran couldn't stop her chatter and curiosity, and kept asking questions.
"Aren't you also a night watchman and don't you know him? So there are many people in the middle of the night? Don't they all see each other? What kind of living environment is it here? What kind of person is that immortal? And what's more?
here..."
"Wait, wait, Fangran, you asked too many questions at once."
Seeing him quickly crossing several steps and rushing to his side, Li Ze quickly stopped and explained slowly from the beginning with a little helplessness:
"First of all, although I am also a night watchman, I am just a junior with less than a few years of experience. To be honest, compared with those powerful elders who are feared by the night war world,"
"I've always felt that I can't bear the same title as them."
Although she heard what he said, Fang Ran did not forget the first time she met Li Ze, but in the A-level scene,
Moreover, the external load core was originally built for him, and its real strength is probably stronger than the lieutenants he met in Europe.
But he is extremely low-key, unnoticed, and behaves calmly. This makes Fangran feel that he is like a night watchman.
"Midnight doesn't have formal meeting occasions or other rigid rules like other forces, as you can see,"
"It's more like a retreat from the world."
Walking up to a platform separated by stone steps, Li Ze came to the edge and squatted down. He took out two paper cups from the space device and directly scooped up the flowing spring water.
He handed Fangran a glass and told him to try it.
"So as a junior, I naturally don't know all the seniors, and I haven't had the chance to meet that gentleman,"
I took the paper cup and took a sip. My eyes widened slightly. I couldn't believe that the water could be so sweet. It was refreshing and refreshing.
Fangran also handed it to La Meow in his arms and watched as it stuffed the paper cup and the rolled tail into its mouth.
"Oh, I see."
"In fact, I have only been to Midnight a few times, and I have never stayed there permanently. The only people I have met are a senior who is like a master, and one or two of his friends who occasionally come to visit."
Moving forward towards the stone steps on one side, Li Ze continued to tell Fangran about the situation in the middle of the night.
"But in addition, there are other seniors who have been there since the night club period in Midnight. Some of them have stepped down from their duties as night watchmen and chose to live in seclusion here for the rest of their lives."

Listening to the midnight information told by Li Ze, Fangran looked surprised while holding Lamiao, and then asked curiously in a low voice:
"Then that immortal also lives here?"
Looking at him as if he was afraid of being 'heard', Li Ze smiled and nodded in affirmation,
"Sir lives on the top of the main peak."
"Eh......"
Fangran looked up at the peak that was obscured by clouds and mist, and couldn't help but let out a long tone of exclamation.
"By the way, where are we going now?"
Withdrawing his admiring gaze, Fangran couldn't think of anything else to ask, so Fangran became concerned about the current issue.
"This is what I just said,"
On the platform of another stone step fault, instead of continuing upward, he turned to another flat stone road. Li Ze pointed to the front that felt gradually opening up.
"The residence of the senior who seems to be my Night Watch Master."
Like your master's senior...what are we doing here?
Shouldn't we go see 'Mrs. Isis' who invited me here...
Keeping such doubts, Fangran followed Li Ze and continued walking forward, but he gradually discovered that the scenery on both sides of the road was becoming "special".
One seems to be made of bronze, mahogany and various materials, with several wooden nameplates hanging on it.
The "big pillar" looks like a complex and unique structure.
Before Fangran could curiously ask what it was, Li Ze suddenly spoke:
"Speaking of which, there is someone you know, Fang Ran, who has been expecting you to come here for a long time."
Someone I know?
Thinking about who she knew in Midnight besides him, Fangran couldn't think of an answer and looked at him strangely.
Then at this moment,
Suddenly, a young man's words of surprise and joy rang out in front of the two of them!
"Fangran! Are you here!?"
Eh...
Fangran was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, and turned around in disbelief.
Seeing that handsome figure with a pale and gentle face, all the sadness, powerlessness, and low self-esteem on his body flew away, and his thoughts were instantly blown away to the journey back to Europe.
Let him shout the other person's name subconsciously.
