Chapter 142 Conscription
Lu Yuan walked out of the gate of the Tower of Learning with light steps.
The letter has been delivered. Laurina is a genius, and it's relatively safe for her to live in the lab.
The rest is none of his business.
He only wanted to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the square, preparing to leave, the scene before him gave him a sense of foreboding.
At the exit of the square, several night watchmen were blocking the passage.
They wore standard black robes, and the silver badges on their chests gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
An elderly night watchman stood at the front, holding a list, checking each person who tried to leave.
Lu Yuan frowned, slowed his pace, but still headed towards the exit.
"Everyone, show your identification!" The elder Night's Watchman's voice echoed across the square, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Lu Yuan walked closer, took out his Night's Watch badge from his pocket, and handed it over.
The older Night's Watchman took the certificate, examined it carefully for a few moments, then looked up and scrutinized Lu Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze:
"A new face? Are you new here?"
"Yes, they're delivering medicine," Lu Yuan replied calmly.
"Can we go now?"
The older night watchman shook his head and returned the certificate to Lu Yuan:
"No. All the watchmen in the Tower of Learning will be temporarily requisitioned to assist in patrolling the dormitory area."
Lu Yuan frowned even more deeply: "What if we leave?"
"In addition to deducting your wages, you'll also receive a demerit." The older night watchman's tone left no room for negotiation.
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Could you tell me what happened?"
The older watchman looked around and said in a low voice:
"I was also temporarily transferred here. It's said that there was a murderer inside the tower who was discovered. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be over after tonight."
Lu Yuan's heart sank.
It seems things are more serious than he imagined.
"The operation will take place at 8 PM, it's 2 PM now."
The elder Night's Watchman pointed in the direction of the Tower of Learning. "Go wait in the common room."
Lu Yuan frowned and turned to walk towards the Tower of Learning.
The lounge is located on the second floor of the Tower of Learning and is a spacious room.
When Lu Yuan pushed open the door, there were already seven or eight night watchmen inside.
They sat in twos and threes on chairs; some were wiping their weapons, some were resting with their eyes closed, and others were talking in hushed tones.
Judging from their attire and demeanor, they were all temporarily conscripted.
"Another unlucky fellow," a young night watchman said with a wry smile as he saw Lu Yuan.
"I finally got a day off, and I ended up being drafted."
The other watchman sighed. "Who isn't?"
Lu Yuan found a corner to sit down, put his backpack aside, and began to check his equipment.
A revolver, bullets, and the sanity potion Morris gave me.
"Does anyone know what's going on?" someone asked.
"I'm not entirely sure."
A middle-aged night watchman answered,
"But there should be some progress in the case of the disappearance of the Tower of Learning."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be in such a hurry.
The teachers of the Tower of Learning have put pressure on the Night's Watch, and it seems they are planning something big.
Get some rest now, be alert tonight, and don't let anything slip up.
Lu Yuan did not participate in the discussion, but silently checked the equipment.
Time passed by, second by second.
The afternoon sun streamed through the window, casting golden dappled patterns on the floor. These patterns moved slowly over time, shifting from one end of the room to the other.
About an hour later, the door was pushed open and a night watchman came in carrying a box.
"One bottle of medicine per person."
He placed the box on the table, opened the lid, and inside was a row of neatly arranged medicine bottles.
"Take the healing potion and sanity potion yourself."
The watchmen rose and went to the table, each taking a bottle of potion.
"Is there only one bottle?" one of the watchmen asked.
"You usually have more than this on missions, right?"
"Due to special circumstances, this mission was too sudden, and the logistics department can't allocate any more personnel in the short term."
The night watchman delivering the medicine looked somewhat helpless.
"Be careful when you go on missions."
He left after saying that.
Lu Yuan also walked over, took a bottle of sanity potion, and put it in his pocket.
As the sun gradually set in the west, the sky began to darken. The atmosphere in the lounge also became heavy.
The watchmen began to stretch their bodies, check their weapons, and prepare for battle. Night fell, and the moon rose.
The runes on the outer wall of the Tower of Learning began to glow, emitting a faint blue light.
The lights hanging on the surrounding walls were also lit up one after another.
Because this is the inner city of Bronze City, it is rarely lit at night, but the recent disappearances have caused widespread panic, and the Tower of Learning has been lit up again for once. Just then, the door was pushed open.
A night watchman stood at the door and said in a deep voice, "The time has come. Everyone, follow me."
The watchmen filed out and followed their leader to the square.
Night fell over the Bo Xue Pagoda, and moonlight shone on the stone slabs of the square, making them gleam.
A dozen or so night watchmen had already gathered in the square, fully armed and with serious expressions.
Holger was also there, standing at the very front of the line, the gold badge on his chest gleaming brightly in the moonlight.
His gaze swept over everyone, and when he saw Lu Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected Lu Yuan to be dragged into this as well.
"Tonight's task is simple." Hogel's voice echoed across the square.
"Patrol the dormitory area to ensure student safety."
He paused, then continued:
"Divide into two groups. The first group will follow Carl and patrol the East Dormitory. The second group will follow Miller and patrol the West Dormitory."
"If you notice anything unusual, warn others immediately. Do not act alone or leave the group without permission."
Holger's tone turned stern. "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the watchmen answered in unison.
Holger nodded and began dividing the group into teams.
Lu Yuan was assigned to the second group, responsible for patrolling the western district.
The second group was led by a middle-aged Night's Watchman named Miller, who had a scar on his face that stretched from his forehead to his chin, making him look quite fierce.
Besides Miller and Lu Yuan, the second group also includes three young Night Watchmen.
The first group consisted of only four people, who left with Karl.
The rest of the people followed Hogel in another direction.
Lu Yuan stood in the group, pondering to himself. The area the West District was responsible for was more dangerous; the alchemy department's dormitories were in the West District, as was the Third Tower.
However, the manpower was very limited, which indicated that his group was not the main force at all, and their purpose was more to add a layer of insurance.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a little more at ease.
After all, based on previous assessments, the disappearance of the Tower of Knowledge involved either high-level superhumans or their own people.
But no matter what, it's still too dangerous for me right now.
Just put on a show.
Clearly, more than one person in the team thought this way.
For example, Miller, the leader of Group Two, deliberately slowed down his pace, walking at a leisurely pace.
"Stay close to me, don't fall behind," Miller said calmly, glancing back at his teammates.
The group headed towards the west dormitory area.
The West Campus dormitory building is an eight-story stone building that appears exceptionally tall in the night.
Lights were sparsely lit in the windows. Miller led his team into the dormitory building. The corridor was spacious, with dormitory rooms on both sides.
A magic lamp hung on the wall, emitting a soft glow that illuminated every corner.
