My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

After saying that, Bai

Auntie then jumped onto the windowsill by herself, and the cat lay there, seemingly intending to spend the night there.

Fine.

At least I don't have to sleep in the bed...

After changing into his pajamas, Weiss also lay down.

As was his custom, he gently slipped his arm under Elune's pillow, the most comfortable sleeping position he had developed over two months.

As someone with a missing arm, their hand wouldn't go numb from the pressure, and they could still feel the cool touch of the pillow.

Correspondingly, Elune must find it quite comfortable to use this as a pillow.

If she's uncomfortable, she'll turn over or talk back.

Wei Xiao: Hahahahahaha!!

Elune: You're sick...

This can no longer be categorized as a joke.

Purely rubbish.

Elune was furious.

If he actually summoned My Little Pony to protest, wouldn't he explode?!

"..."

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding!"

However, just a dozen minutes later, when Weiss was almost asleep, a series of system notifications suddenly popped up in his mind.

His first thought was that Elune had used the crystal slipper.

But in reality, Elune, who was used to sleeping with her mind-reading ability enabled, was almost deafened by the noise.

She immediately and impatiently shut down the moon's power.

Let Weiss do whatever he wants.

Then, Weiss groggily opened his eyes and found that instead of the Rainbow Pony running around in the air, a pop-up window with an ice frame was floating in front of him, its icy blue light flickering eerily in the darkness.

"Bang!!"

The next second, a girl with a white bun hairstyle and blank eyes suddenly jumped to the center of the screen.

This scene was practically like a female ghost jumping on your face.

He woke up almost instantly.

"Hmm, isn't that the woman who did the online scams before?!"

"What's this guy up to now!?"

Under Weiss's incredulous gaze.

The stunningly beautiful white-haired girl with a bun first wiped away the icy mist on the screen with her sleeve, then complained in a disgruntled tone:

"Ugh, this is so annoying—"

"Those academic elites are really causing a ruckus!"

"One minute they're demanding the restart of the Snow Palace Trials, the next they're asking for direct promotions to 2-star Night Patrol officers. Why don't they just let us Night Patrols be directly responsible for their sexual desires and physiological needs?!"

Although she had no pupils or irises, the girl with the bun hairstyle clearly showed signs of complaint, her entire face filled with impatience.

Weiss, who had regained consciousness, quickly noticed it.

Unlike before, this time, the frozen screen appears to be a video conference mode similar to a group chat.

Besides the girl with the bun hairstyle, there were two other black windows on the screen that did not display any content, including my own, which was also black and showed an anonymous user.

When Weiss saw the names of the three people, he instantly realized the cause and effect of this misunderstanding.

Besides the astrology markings under the buns

The other two black-clad users who did not display any images are Dongjue.

as well as--

Ice Queen!!!

I see......

After a brief moment of surprise, Weiss quickly came to his senses.

This woman with the bun hairstyle is not a criminal who uses supernatural abilities to commit electronic fraud.

He is actually one of the eight true Night Patrol Guards!

No, rather, this was simply a private chat within a small group of the eight guards directly under the Night Patrol.

I was accidentally linked in along with the link!

If Weiss only vaguely recognized the names of Astrologer and Winter Duke, he might not have reacted immediately.

There was nothing they could do; Bingfei's name had recently become legendary, known to everyone in the entire royal city.

Weiss recognized him instantly, of course.

"That's strange..." Weiss muttered to himself, "Could it be because I was also stained by the snow that I automatically connected to the channel?"

If his analysis is correct.

This astrologer probably selected too broad a range when filtering the group chat.

Or perhaps she was just being lazy and didn't specify anyone, instead just bringing in everyone who possessed the power of Snow White...

Just as Weiss was beginning to have some suspicions about this.

From the black screen representing Dong Jue, a male voice, tinged with suppressed anger, emanated.

"The protests from the academic faction were initially relatively mild; a few promises of benefits would have sufficed. But that little swordsman is truly lawless!!!"

"It ignited the anger of all academics with a single spark."

"She's fine with herself, she's disappeared beautifully, and now the pressure is entirely on our night patrol."

It's important to know that this protest was initiated by the Academy Party at the Night Patrol headquarters. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Lunette family's stance, yet the Little Sword Saint Cassandra insisted on stepping forward to support Ice Queen, fanning the flames.

He also dragged the original seven guards and the academic faction into the insults, and had a good laugh.

Right now, Night Patrol Headquarters is in a state of chaos and has no time to deal with Cassandra Lunette.

Winter Lord gets angry whenever the Little Sword Saint is mentioned.

After a moment of contemplation, suppressing his anger, he proposed a solution.

"Playing dead or forcibly suppressing it is not advisable. Perhaps... we have no choice but to reopen the Snow Palace Trials to the public, as they demand!"

"Their only goal is to compete with the Ice Queen in the Snow Palace Trials, and then have Lady Snow White decide on the guards again. What a pipe dream..."

"After this farce is over, let's distribute some of those moderately rank forbidden items as ranking rewards. That should make them stop while they're ahead."

"After all, Lady Shirayuki's decisions and wishes cannot be changed by us alone, and they should be aware of that as well."

Dongjue rambled on and on, but Weiss didn't understand a single word.

However, it's clear that the original seven bodyguards harbored a great deal of resentment towards Cassandra, the Little Sword Saint.

This guy has truly reached the point of being universally hated.

Just then, the white-haired girl with a bun hairstyle named Astrology chimed in: "Opening up the Snow Palace Trials isn't out of the question, but the academy should pay for it. How about one gold coin per participant?"

Winter Duke: "......"

After a moment of silence, Dong Jue sighed wearily, "Fine, as long as you make this request in your own name, it's fine. Just don't represent the Eight Guards directly on your own."

The white-haired girl with a bun chuckled awkwardly a few times, then asked another black screen section: "Ice Princess, what do you think?"

Bingfei remained silent for a long time.

Then, a soft female voice came from the black screen.

"Miss Hoshi, what is Yukimiya...?"

It was by accident.

Ice Queen asked the question that Weiss was most concerned about.

Astrology: ......

Winter Duke: ......

The scene was very quiet for a moment.

However, after a moment of shock, Miss Xing stopped there: "Never mind, I'll explain it to you offline tomorrow. It's getting late, let's go to sleep first."

Weiss: ?

No, is it possible to cut it off halfway through?

If we talk about it offline, wouldn't I miss out on all the information?

Just then, Miss Xing suddenly noticed an anonymous window with a black screen at the bottom of the screen.

"Wait—who is this?"

"How come there's suddenly an anonymous user? Could it be that Lady Snow Queen is eavesdropping?"

Dongjue was slightly taken aback, then dismissed her guess: "Lady Xuehou is clearing out the Feathered Ones at the border of the Black Realm, it can't be her. I remember the effective range of your group chat function is only a few hundred kilometers, right? It must be one of the Seven Guards in the Royal City."

"Did someone accidentally switch to anonymous mode?"

Faced with everyone's doubts—

Weiss chose to play dead.

Holding their breath and concentrating, they remained completely silent.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, no one pressed him for an answer.

After all, Bai Xue's powers cannot be eroded by external forces. Anyone who can connect must be one of their own. Someone must have accidentally clicked on anonymous mode.

"Never mind, this guy must be asleep. He couldn't even wake up from my alarm."

"Next time I'll turn the pop-up volume up ten times..."

"I'm so sleepy, time for bed..."

Miss Xing yawned and immediately disconnected the connection.

"A godlike person, wanting to increase it tenfold, aren't they afraid of being killed by the Snow Queen..."

Dong Jue couldn't help but curse.

Seeing that the other person had left, I followed suit and exited the chat window.

However......

Weiss searched for a long time but couldn't find the exit button.

His fingers poked and swiped on the frozen screen, but there was no response, leaving him utterly bewildered.

"Wait, where's my power button?!"

"..."
