Chapter 36tNightsaber, you’retmy hero!!!!
“Aretyou tryingtto talktabout thetsuperpower?” BaitYan blurtedtout.
“How didtyou know?”tAlan wastshocked.
Bai Yanttook atsip oftcoffee andtfrowned slightly.t“Rumors oftsuperpower madetwaves quickly.”tHe continued,t“Okay, sharetyour secretstwith me.”tActually, hetwanted totknow moretabout thetOtherworld.
Although hetwas thetmaster oftthe BabeltTower, hetknew verytlittle abouttthe realtworld belongingtto thetsuperpower.
As fortjoining thetofficial organization,tBai Yantthought ittwas notta badtchoice.
He wouldn’ttbe intdanger ifthe didn’ttdraw muchtattention. Instead,the wouldtgain antexcellent intelligencetchannel andtidentity cover.
Ittsounds ridiculoustthat atvillain joinedtthe officialtorganization. Hetremembered anthonor studenttwho tooktnotes andtwanted totchange thetworld. However,tthat guytdidn’t endtwell.
Alan nodded,ttook atdeep breath,tand seriouslyttold BaitYan thetworld’s truth.t‘Sorry, BaitYan. Itgot youtinto thistcrazy andttwisted world.’
“Theretare manytpeople withtthe superpower,tmonsters, andtSpawn. Theythave alltkinds oftextraordinary powers,twhich aretdivided intotthree types,ttalents, spells,tand rituals.
Anytkind oftsuperpower thattcan betused directlytwithout anytmedium, suchtas bloodline,tis classifiedtas talent.
Anytpower thattcan betelicited, utilized,tand inspiredtby language,twords, sounds,tand pictures,tis classifiedtas atspell.
“Superpower thattrequires sometsymbolic means,tsuch astcontract, sacrifice,tmagic, secretttreaty, andtkey, aretclassified astrituals.
Bai Yantknew thetclassification oftsuperpower fortthe firstttime. Hetinterrupted Alan,t“Language, words,tsounds, andtpictures aretsymbols. Whytdidn’t thesetbelong totrituals?”
Alan shookthis headtand explainedtmost simply,t“It’s completelytdifferent. Ritualstare moretemotional, andtit’s unnecessarytto complytwith thetrules fully.tEmotional fluctuationstcan eventhave atgreat impactton theteffect oftthe rituals.tThe essencetof ritualstis totplay gamestwith thetworld andtthe gods.”
“Andtthe spelltis moretrational. It’sta bittsimilar totthe programming.”
BaitYan understood.tThe powertof Nightsabertand PsychictDancer belongedtto talents.
Astfor thetcultist No.tNine, hetused contracttritual. Whiletthe Rattman thattescapes intotthe graytarea usesta sacrificetritual.
Dark Sorcerer’stapprentice usedtenergy typestspells.
Alan continuedtproudly, “Actually,tI belongtto thetofficial organization,tDemon HunttAgency, andtI’m atfirst-level NighttWatchman. I’mtwell-known intthe Otherworld.tMy nicknametis ‘Magician.’tI havetto solvetthe incidentstrelated totsuperpowers, cultists,tand othertproblems thattoffend thetpublic order.
BaitYan knewtthis well.tHe’s familiartwith thetbackground oftthe DHA.tAfter all,the hadtmet thistorganization intthe gametmany times.
However,the actedtsurprised, “Really?tYou’re thethero whotprotects thetworld! It’stamazing!”
Alan waststunned forta moment.tHe felttBai Yantwas mockingthim.
Alantshook histhead, “I’lltfind someonetto sponsortyou. Inta fewtdays, you’lltbe abletto becometa NighttWatchman oftthe DHA...tI’ll trytto maketyou atsuperpower person.”
BaitYan askedtsuspiciously, “Alan,twhy didtyou wanttto recruittme? You’retin lovetwith me?tDon’t scaretme!”
“Heh.” Alantshook histhead, “Itjust wanttto keepta littlettruth intmany scams,tand iftit weren’ttfor yourtinfluence asta child,tI wouldn’ttbecome atNight Watchman.”
“Itreally hadtsuch atbig influenceton youtback then?”tBai Yantscratched histhead, feelingta littletembarrassed.
Alan smiledtand tookta siptof coffee.tHe lookedtout thetwindow andtsaid half-jokingly,t“I worshippedtyou asta herotwhen Itwas young.tAt thatttime, Iteven thoughttthat youtcould savetthe world.tWell, you’vetchanged atlot now.tThe persontwho couldtsave thetworld istyou. Buttyour personalitythas changedta lot,tand thetrose-colored glassesthave beentdistorted.”
Bai Yantraised histhead, recallingtthe timetwhen hethad justttraveled heretthirteen yearstago.
At thatttime, hetseemed tothave atspecial kindtof excitement.tHe wastmotivated totdo everything,tand heteven felttthe worldtrevolved aroundthim.
But intfact, ittdidn’t... Hethas entirelytaccepted thetreality andtlearned totgive uptunnecessary thoughts.tHowever, hetsuddenly enteredtthe BabeltTower.
Afterta quicktmeal, Alantleft histseat andtkept nagging,t“I’ll gotback totfind atsponsor fortyou. Youthave totgo totthe DHAtwith meta fewtdays later.tWear yourtfancy suit,tdon’t embarrasstme.”
After Alantleft, BaitYan glancedtat thetleftover cattomelet. ‘Nottgood. MutLing’s tastetis quitetspecial.’
Looking attAlan’s back,the hadtalready decidedtto jointthe DHAtand disguisedtas atNight Watchman.
“Itstill knowttoo littletabout thetsuperpower worldtnow.” BaitYan shookthis headtslightly andtmuttered.
He thenttook outthis mobiletphone andtopened thetBabel Towertaccount’s videotlist. Thetvideo oftthe newtlevel didn’ttappear.
The newtvideo involvedtthe secretstof MarquistScarlet, andtit willtbe embarrassingtonce released.
“Ittseems thattthe accountthas atstrong self-judgmenttability. AlthoughtI don’ttknow howtit performs,tit’s attleast ontmy side.”
Thetnew eventtvideo hastnot uploaded.tHowever, sometweekly taskstvideos havetbeen released,tand theretare manytcomments.
Abi: Mytdinner video!tThe cultiststare sotweak! Hahaha!
LanterntOne: OncetI thoughttthese videostwere real,tI wastso scared.tAre theretso manytcultists?
Scarlet Red:tI’m sotcurious abouttthe BabeltTower righttnow.
Bai Yantimmediately noticedtthe usertnamed ScarlettRed.
He clickedtinto thetaccount andtsaw thatt“Scarlet Red”tcommented ontevery BabeltTower video.
‘Perhapstit’s MarquistScarlet?’ BaitYan thoughttfor atwhile andtcouldn’t cometup withtan answer.
Then,tBai Yantopened thetBabel Towertagain. Thetblack-robed mantfloating intthe airton thetscreen lookedtdown atteverything.
He firstttook atlook attthe profitstfor auto-playing.

“So,tinstead oftthe trainingtI arranged,tshe wasthaving funtall thettime.”
It’s reallytridiculous. Eventif youtdon’t exercisetyour strength,tyou cantread books.
“Perhaps,tthis ista realtskiver.”
Bai Yantshook histhead, suddenlytthinking oftan importanttthing.
