Under the night, the night wind is heated by the aroma, the whole Linfu block is brilliantly lit and lively, the lights are colorful, and people's happy mood is warm in the aroma of food.

The hairy lion head with big eyes with copper bells, the bright red lion back embroidered with tassels, hydrangeas, iron stakes,

Gongs and drums were played, and the lion dance was performed to the applause of the crowd.

And in contrast to this noise, the roof of the four-story hotel is quiet,

One of the highest places that can overlook the hustle and bustle of the entire Linfu neighborhood, the rooftop where the confession did not happen in the real fate.

Thin silver hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing the simple and noble style of the limited Lolita dress, under the endless darkness, the figure of the night crow is sitting on the edge of the rooftop outside the bar,

No one could see her presence.

And she looked at the distance below, surrounded by the crowd of lion dance performances, and the figure of the young man smiled lightly after being slightly distracted in place,

Then he ran cheerfully towards the figures who were greeting him.

Keep watch....?

A little annoyance appeared on his delicate face, his eyes looked at Fang Ran, as if he could know his mood at the moment, and he bowed his head mysteriously to himself:

"Ahh

But looking at Fang Ran's figure, looking at the beautiful smiles on the faces of Shui Lianxin and Xia Yao around him, and in the crowd of lights outside the lion dance, their appearance was vivid and happy in this scene.

"But..."

With a brilliant look in his eyes, looking at this bright scene under the night sky, the night crow smiled and spoke:

"I'll let you go this time..."

A mischievous look appeared on her face, and a smile hooked the corners of her mouth seemed to be planning something, and she silently shouted out a name she called Fang Ran,

Then the figure disappeared from the edge of the rooftop...

...

...

"You mean, you ended up seeing a self-aware 'Night Raven'?"

The night breeze was quiet and soft, and when she put down the teacup, the soft voice of the woman in the dark blue dress was surprised.

On the balcony of the auditorium-like garden, white transparent light gauze curtains hang from the dome, still blown by the night breeze.

The sea of flowers was already in full bloom at the end of October.

In the brightly lit and bustling neighborhood of Linfu, the liveliness of the lion dance performance ended the celebration of tonight's return.

'Fang Ran, you're planning to see your grandmother, right?' ’

In the car that Sister Yan came to pick up, like the last time Shui Lianxin came to visit the ward, she listened very seriously, and told the foreign cities she had been to this time, describing the scenery there.

Trying to dispel the girl's idea of traveling to Paris in the future, she came to the top garden of the villa of the Manor of Moshui Linlang,

After returning safely from Europe, Fang Ran reported to Shui Linlang about everything he had encountered on this trip, until the end of the simulation scene last night.

The night raven appeared before his eyes.

"Well, it stands to reason that it should just be another body that I was able to generate, and it doesn't have any mental personality, but it's locked up during the scene, and I don't know what's going on,"

Hearing Shui Linlang's incredibly surprised tone, Fang Ran sighed helplessly and nodded in confirmation:

"Truly became a self-aware woman who called herself a 'Night Raven'."

I still clearly remember the conversation between myself and the night crow last night, the absurd scene that seemed to be a fantasy, and Fang Ran looked at the water on the other side of the tea table:

"Grandma Shui, don't you know what's going on, can't you use the power of prophecy to look at it?"

"Prophecy is not such a convenient ability."

Looking at the juniors who reached an agreement with him and came back well, Shui Linlang sighed lightly with a soft expression, and then lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking:

"It's rare but not impossible, but it's the first time I've heard of such a special situation as the ability to suddenly become self-conscious, but it's completely independent of the participants..."

And then I don't know if I thought of something,

Shui Linlang's glass-colored eyes flickered suddenly, but quickly disappeared, and she put on her usual smile again:

"Whatever her real existence is, since she doesn't feel malicious and can't find out, you should be an intimate female friend who knows all your secrets for the time being."

Don't say it that simple!

Speechlessly, he looked at the smile on Shui Linlang's face, there was still a joke about the juniors hidden in it, Fang Ran was almost used to it.

"Having said that, I didn't expect that the normal consequence of the national war would cause such a big incident in Europe...."

did not stay on the topic of 'night crow', which is a mystery of existence, Shui Linlang's index finger rubbed the edge of the teacup, and looked at the young man in front of him who solved the incident and sighed,

Thinking about the experience he had just told himself about this time, no matter which one of them was extraordinary and thrilling.

"Grandma Shui, you expected this a long time ago, so you persuaded Sister Yesheng to give up the national war at that time?"

Seeing that she didn't continue the topic of the night crow, knowing that she might have guessed something, but if she asked, it was estimated that she would only be fooled again, Fang Ran, who was already very clear about this,

chose to follow her words to speak, and then saw Shui Linlang's mysterious smile with a slight comparison of her thumb and forefinger:

"Just a little bit of it."

Grandma Shui, can you always stop lying like this (expressionless)?

Looking at the person who could call himself a reminder a minute before the attack on the mentor base, saying something like this, he couldn't resist the desire to complain about '100 million points',

Fang Ran stared at Shui Linlang silently with a smile on his face, without the slightest consciousness that he had just told an obvious lie.

"That Grandma Shui, why is it that the person who has been hiding by my side with various identities seems to have a clear picture of the plan surrounding the Dark Energy Crystal from the beginning...."

"Ah, did you say Uncle Thousand Faces?"

The ten fingers of his hands were staggered under his chin, and Shui Linlang's body was filled with mist, and after dissipating, a young girl who looked a little bigger than Fang Ran appeared.

is still the appearance of the night club era, she embroiders the verdant cloth skirt of the bamboo forest, and there is an unpredictable eccentricity in her clever smile.

"Then I don't know, it should be the clue that Uncle Thousand Faces found himself, after all, it is a strange elder who has been out for too long, and the world thinks that it is the song of the wanderer."

The 'young girl' smiled brightly, the opposite of the look on her face, a look that she didn't intend to admit at all.

"Granny Water..."

Facing the girl in front of him, it always feels awkward to shout this title.

Looking at Shui Linlang, who had changed into her previous appearance and even had a subtle difference in tone and voice, Fang Ran realized once again that she couldn't play with the elder in front of her at all, so she had to ask directly without hope:

"What is the association trying to do with this plan?"

"I'm just an old man who doesn't even go out, how can I know about such a big thing..."

Speaking of the elder words with a young appearance, he pretended to be ignorant and replied, but seemed to know that he had been to the sky palace on that floating island,

Shui Linlang, who looks like a girl, turned her head slightly and smiled rhetorically:

"Didn't the queen tell you?"

"She said I was going to find the answer myself."

Regarding the words of the elders who were too young with his mentality, Fang Ran just picked up the black tea, thinking about the words of Van Erlinyin, and looked at his reflection in a somewhat distracted voice,

Let Shui Linlang also look at him, revealing a kind and gentle appearance that does not match his appearance, as if he was sighing or something, and said softly:

"That Highness is a very great person, and since she said so, it means that the truth and the answer really need to be found by you personally..."

In order to be in the future do not know when the moment,

Make the choice that comes from your heart.

At the balcony tea table on the night of the garden, the 'girl' looked at the figure of the young man kindly and gently, and in the next second, she regained her agility in line with her flowery appearance, and said with a winkling smile:

"Otherwise, you can wait for the Night Angel to wake up and ask her who controls the Night Net."

"Ahem...!"

Fang Ran, who was thinking about how to find it, heard that Shui Linlang was also like Clotid, and mentioned Ling's matter in a playful tone, remembering the warning he received when he asked about it last time,

His demeanor suddenly turned back to his daily life, and he looked at Shui Linlang with some resentment and speechlessness:

"Grandma Shui, you know that Ling will definitely clean me up, and you still say that!"

"Oh, I'm just helping you with ideas,"

Shui Linlang pretended to be innocent in surprise, and then her eyes blinked with a meaningful smile, and the elders' teasing was mixed with the gossip heart of her age,

"Speaking of which, you sent her back tonight, didn't anything happen on the way, I'm curious... No, I care about my granddaughter...."

"Ah~ah~ It's great to have an agent drive to pick it up."

couldn't help but read it loudly in advance, Fang Ran silently looked at Shui Linlang's excessive this time, and even looked about the same age as himself.

Speechlessly, she thought about when she, who was old enough to be her great-great-grandmother, would be able to look like a serious elder.

And Grandma Shui, can you stop talking about your granddaughter like this....

Seeing Fang Ran's funny expression written all the thoughts on her face, Shui Linlang couldn't help but laugh softly, and then she picked up the black tea, and the grace in her posture and movements that did not belong to her appearance age was revealed,

"The crisis in Europe this time is over, the Pearl of the Night, the attack on the capital and the end of this plan, there should be no more action by the association in the short term,"

"There's nothing to worry about if there is that person in the royal court, and there are no events in the night bureau in the near future,"

On the garden balcony with a soft night breeze, she watched the completion of the thrilling transcendent adventure in Europe, repelling the darkness and returning to ordinary daily life, and I don't know how much I have grown and changed.

In the slight swaying of the sea of flowers falling into a dream, the soft voice asked:

"What are your plans for the next period of time?"
