It fits the face perfectly, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, which gleam with a chilling light through the gaps in the mask.
"who!?"
"Weren't you looking for me? I'm here, so why are you giving me this look?"
The bespectacled man felt a chill run down his spine. This... this was the legendary Night Watch captain, who was rarely seen?
Carl muttered to himself, "Silent...they came fucking fast!"
Yes, they came really fast.
The bespectacled man couldn't help but marvel at the other party's methods, appearing beside them so silently.
"It is an honor to meet you here."
The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses; those who knew him well would recognize this as a sign of extreme nervousness.

The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and glanced at the other person again.
She wondered to herself, "How did I end up meeting the captain of the Night's Watch like this, all so fresh and beautiful?"
The seven or eight people around them exchanged glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
"sit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene changed instantly.
They were now in a quiet bamboo forest, where a small and exquisite cottage stood silently.
The cottage seems to blend seamlessly with its surrounding natural environment, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
The bamboo forest is lush and green, and the emerald green bamboo leaves sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, like a soft melody.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
Deep within the bamboo forest, wisps of mist rose slowly. Like a light veil, the mist drifted gracefully in the air, sometimes gathering into a ball, sometimes dispersing.
Hallucination!?
Or is it real?
Were they teleported to another place on a large scale?
A host of questions suddenly came to mind.
As the man in black poured tea, he said calmly, "The parts of your future that your power cannot reach determine the future. No matter how hard you try, there are still things you cannot change."
Lu Xue frowned. Why did this sound so familiar?
"Please have some tea, everyone."
Karl was wary and didn't dare touch the tea.
The bespectacled man hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a stool and sat down.
He accepted the tea and said, "Thank you."
He wasn't worried that the other party would poison him; the power the other party casually displayed and the aura around him made it clear that they disdained poisoning.
"We've finally met the legendary captain of the Night's Watch," the bespectacled man said, taking the initiative. "Please forgive our rudeness."
The man in black waved his hand. "Let's get straight to the point. What do you want with me?"
"Your Excellency is indeed straightforward, so I won't waste any more words. The Night Watch has always kept to itself in the European Union and the four Vatican cities."
Why are we now so brazenly starting a war, refusing even to communicate? Do we really want to fight to the death?
Lu Jing was stunned for a moment.
Go to war?
European Union?
He remembered that Bai Ze was guarding the European Union.
Looking back on the reports Bai Ze had given him some time ago.
On the evening of September 1st, a small-scale attack was launched against a cult in Northern Europe.
Lu Jing pondered for a moment and then said, "I don't think this kind of small-scale battle is worth our face-to-face communication."
Small-scale battle!?
The man with glasses twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Does the other side consider this a small-scale conflict?
The four Vatican cities are now at war with the European branch of the Night's Watch.
The north was in complete chaos, with both sides suffering heavy losses.
As for the other losses, they are countless.
And the other party calls this a minor conflict?
The bespectacled man couldn't help but recall a line from The Three-Body Problem: "Destroying you is none of your business."
From the other party's perspective, this was probably just a minor accident.
Thinking about this, the bespectacled man suddenly felt even more pressure.
This negotiation...
"Then why did you launch an attack on us?" the bespectacled man asked.
"Why...."
Lu Jingxin said, "You're asking me? Who would go?!"
Besides, isn't eradicating cults part of the Night Watch's job?
“You should ask why they didn’t attack you,” Lu Jing retorted in a deep voice.
The bespectacled man swallowed instinctively, feeling an immense sense of oppression.
"Does Your Excellency intend to shatter the peace between the Night's Watch and the four Vatican cities, plunging the northern part of the European Union into complete chaos?"
As far as we know, the death toll yesterday was 431. More than four hundred people lost their lives, many of them innocent.
Lu Jing: ..........
what?
Four hundred people die in one day!?
This is already at the intensity of a small-scale war.
Didn't Bai Ze say it was a small-scale attack?
Lu Jinglue pondered for a moment, "So, you want a ceasefire?"
“We do not want to be enemies with the Night's Watch. I believe that it was not your intention to kill so many innocent people.”
We have maintained peace for eight years, and in fact, until now we do not understand why the Night's Watch would want to break it.
You may wish to state your demands, and we can resolve the matter through negotiation.
The bespectacled man paused at this point.
Of course, if you insist on being our enemy, the four Vatican cities will not surrender easily; we will certainly fight back fiercely!
After explaining the pros and cons clearly, the bespectacled man waited for the other party's reply.
He believed that the Night's Watch would not start a war without a reason; there must be one.
Lu Jing crossed his legs and pondered for a moment.
Four Vatican cities? That sounds really cool.
Their power must be considerable. With over four hundred people dying in a single day, what exactly is Bai Ze doing?
Lu Jing frowned.
"I will consider this matter. Go back and tell your master not to go too far in the future. Consider this a warning to them. Also..."
The man in black stood up and shook his black robe.
"You must release my people!"
After saying that, the surrounding scenery suddenly disappeared, and the figure of the man in black also vanished from the spot.
They returned to their villa in the suburbs.
"Disappeared?"
Carl looked around, but could no longer catch a glimpse of the other person.
"We didn't detect any energy fluctuations; it's not even within our detection range."
"Did we reach an agreement or not?" someone asked, puzzled.
The bespectacled man breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "This is already the best possible outcome."
