Since the period of Ancient Earth, humanity has undergone massive migrations and developed to this day, and the scope of human survival is no longer limited to one planet, one star system... But in order to remember history, whether it is the Alliance, the Empire, or various regions... all implement the 24-hour system. The Main Star Nami Star of the Alliance also naturally implements the 24-hour system. However, the time Nami Star takes to revolve once around its star is approximately 730 days, and it rotates once in about 48 hours. Thus, Nami Star requires 48 hours to transition from day to night. On the Main Star, a 24-hour day and a 24-hour night are continuously repeated, alternating in cycles. From Ji You and the others registering at the Alliance First Military Academy, stepping into the arena, and the competition progressing till now, the glow of the star is gradually fading, and the long night is about to begin—

In the gradual light and shadow, Ji You slowly walked out from behind the hidden stone block. Her form was mostly covered in the shadows stacked by the ruins, inexplicably elongating her figure... The sky was getting dark, shadows expanding, yet Ji You tilted her head and looked at Wei Yun, her face with a smile, red lips and white teeth, with a faint gleam flickering in her pitch-black eyes... just like a Soul Summoner emerging from Hell.

"Wei Yun," she said softly, delicately, with a hint of sharpness.

Wei Yun was startled, extremely startled, as she fell to the ground. For a moment, she felt her heart suddenly contract, and it seemed like all her internal organs were in her throat, thumping... Wei Yun gritted her teeth, trying hard not to show weakness, desperately calming the tumult within, gripping the short sword tightly, she said: "Ji You... are you here to kill me?"

Ji You shook her head, but said: "No—I’m so kind, how could I do something like killing?"

She shook her head as she approached Wei Yun, saying: "I’m here to take you away."

I believe you’re an idiot.

You’re taking me away?

Where are you taking me?

You’re as scary as an old witch now, I’m not going with you. Wei Yun, terrified, pursed her lips, asking: "...Did you cause these ruins?"

Ji You lifted her foot and moved closer: "It was me, but it wasn’t me. Look, the scenery here is picturesque, why bother with these artificial stupid things that ruin the view."

Wei Yun: "..."

Wei Yun gritted her teeth: "I won’t listen to your nonsense, you’re the traitor! Shaun personally told me, by the way, where has Shaun gone?"

Ji You suddenly laughed, lightly shaking her head, saying: "How can you be so vulgar as a girl? Look at this scenery, it’s so beautiful. The night is deepening, how about you put down the knife in your hand, and I’ll take you to see the scenery and enjoy the moon?"

Wei Yun: "..."

Ji You stepped forward, and Wei Yun, crawling, instinctively retreated one step. Seeing this, Ji You smiled slightly: "Don’t be afraid, I’m really just here to take you away, to show you the scenery."

Wei Yun’s whole face turned red with tension!

Ji You bent over slightly, reaching out to Wei Yun: "Come, I’ll help you up."

Wei Yun stared at the fair but slightly rough, callused hand, which could be cut off with just a sword.

Cut?

Not cut?

Wei Yun’s eyes momentarily raised a trace but glanced at Ji You’s smiling, pitch-black eyes.

Wei Yun’s heart tightened, the short sword slightly relaxing.

Not the time.

Wei Yun lowered her eyes, saying: "What do you want to do?"

Ji You replied: "Wei Yun, I don’t want to kill you."

Wei Yun obviously didn’t believe her.

Ji You sighed and said: "No matter what I say, you still won’t believe. Then I won’t say anything more."

"The ground is cold, it’s not good for a girl to lie there for long."

"Get up."

"I won’t lay a hand on you."

With that, Ji You actually turned around in front of Wei Yun.

She actually dared to expose her back!

Wei Yun’s pupils contracted!

Kill!

Wei Yun said nothing, leaping up from the ground, clutching the short sword, directly slashing towards Ji You’s back neck!

The sword tip scraped air resistance, roaring in with an imposing manner. This cut, no matter what, Ji You couldn’t possibly dodge!

But!

Wei Yun’s mind paused, her arm softened!

Bang!

The short sword fell to the ground.

Wei Yun was completely stunned! She saw Ji You standing upright, completely unmoving, doing nothing at all!

What was going on?

At this moment, Ji You suddenly turned around, bent down, picked up the short sword, and shoved it into the already dazed Wei Yun’s hand, and said, sighing heavily: "Hold your weapon well. Next time, don’t go soft. If you don’t meet a kind-hearted person like me, no one will pick up your weapon for you."

Wei Yun: "..."

Ji You’s eyes filled with laughter, speaking softly, gentle and kind.

Absolutely—

Frighteningly creepy!

The distance between the two was now less than half a meter, as long as one of them slightly raised a leg or extended a hand, they could touch each other. In the flickering light, the slender Wei Yun and petite Ji You, this scene even had a touch of intrigue, but Wei Yun’s mind was ringing with alarms, she certainly didn’t find it beautiful, gripping the short sword tightly with hands, feet slightly forward leaning, arching her back ready for a blood battle till the end—

Phew~

A breeze brushed past, lifting a strand of Wei Yun’s hair, softly brushing Ji You’s forehead, Ji You pursed her lips and said: "Wei Yun, do you know why I don’t kill you?"

Wei Yun’s breath hitched, "It sounds like you think you could kill me if you wanted to, where does your confidence come from?"

Ji You simply laughed, the brilliant smile flaring Wei Yun’s growing annoyance. She sneered softly, huffing: "In terms of height, you barely reach my shoulder. In terms of strength, you’re not necessarily stronger than me. So, where on earth do you get such audacity?"

Her voice gradually increased!

Ji You casually laughed: "No need to shout so loudly, they can’t hear."

Wei Yun: "!!!"

Wei Yun furrowed her brow tightly, exclaiming: "Impossible!"

Absolutely impossible!

The three teammates who returned to the station with her were only slightly behind her. Wei Yun couldn’t believe they were already in trouble!

This was definitely not possible! If the 3 teammates were in trouble, how could she not have noticed at all?

Wei Yun raised her voice precisely to attract the attention of the 3 teammates behind, then it would be a four-to-one. Even if Ji You had three pairs of wings, she wouldn’t escape the palm of her hand!

But!

The commotion here was not small, at least she and Ji You had talked for so long, but how could those three have not made any noise?

Was it unnoticed?

Or did they go somewhere else?

Or—

Realizing something, Wei Yun’s face turned black.

Ji You smiled a smile of reassurance, saying: "Okay, don’t bother with those dead ghosts, time is limited, just the two of us let’s talk for a bit."

Wei Yun’s face was black, she gripped the weapon tightly, saying: "I have nothing to say to you."

Ji You’s face darkened: "Do you also want to become a dead ghost?"

Wei Yun: "..."
