The first thing that was shared was a news article, and Jiang Nan had sent three or four of them together. Ye Xingling was already starting to vaguely look forward to what interesting things might come next… or things she wouldn’t normally get to know.
She tapped the small arrow in the upper left corner to exit and turned her attention to the second message.
‘Wow! It’s a chat record! I have to believe it now!’
With a small movement of her hand, Ye Xingling clicked in and looked closely. It turned out to be a few videos, seemingly compiled together.
But the first video scared Ye Xingling quite a bit.
As the video played, what came into view was a shaky recording perspective and… a bloody, fleshy humanoid shape that could still be roughly identified even with the blur.
Although her heart trembled from the fright, Ye Xingling also knew clearly that this was a video. That grotesque thing inside wouldn’t jump out to attack her. Even though her eyes had already been assaulted by it once, the video would still play on as usual.
The main perspective seemed to have hidden behind a messy table. After gaining a relatively stable camera position, the video became somewhat watchable. After the main perspective escaped the chaotic battle, she saw a man leap forward and start a close-quarters fight with that bloody, fleshy thing.
She definitely couldn’t turn on the sound during class. Ye Xingling didn’t want the teacher to call her parents… As for her big bro, he probably wouldn’t scold her that much; it would be more like mockery… No, no, that would be worse than getting yelled at. Knowing Ye Xingyao’s personality, he would definitely tease her face-to-face!
Better not let that happen.
Amid her wandering thoughts, the first video froze on the scene of the man and the monster fighting in a splash of blood.
She swiped right and opened the second video.
The perspective of the second video seemed quite safe, and the scene visible was more comprehensive. For example, a girl weaving through the crowd to protect people…
‘Huh? Why does this person look so familiar?’
Ye Xingling thoughtfully rubbed her chin, paused the frame with the person’s face, and double-tapped to zoom in…
‘Miss Ye Xin?!’
‘Oh, I remember Senior Jin Ming mentioned Miss Ye Xin before, but Miss Ye Xin looks pretty battered…’
Somehow, Ye Xingling rubbed her eyes, suddenly feeling that Miss Ye Xin’s face looked a bit similar to her brother’s.
‘Pfft, what is she thinking? How could big bro have anything to do with Miss Ye Xin? One is a Midnight-level hunter, the other was a model student from some year in Satellite City.’
‘No, no, the most important thing is, how could her big bro Ye Xingyao be a woman?’
Ye Xingling examined it more closely for a while, but the resemblance still lingered in her mind. She didn’t know what was going on. ‘Oh well, when big bro comes home, I’ll ask Sister Shiyue indirectly.’
Sister Shiyue knew almost everything about big bro. After all, they were always hanging out together, and recently it seemed like their relationship had heated up. They even interacted at home without avoiding her, his little sister!
She tapped the triangle icon to cancel the zoom, and the video continued playing. Not long after, a beam of golden light shone in from outside the banquet hall, and a blonde girl carrying a long blade made a dazzling entrance.
‘It’s Senior Jin Ming!’
Ye Xingling hadn’t been happy for long. After Senior Jin Ming joined the battle, the two elves on the stage started fighting.
‘Why are they fighting?’
Ye Xingling watched in confusion. Not long after, the petite elf lady retreated, looking like she had accepted defeat, closing her eyes and waiting for judgment.
Just as the green-haired elf was about to cast a spell at the two people fighting the monster, Ye Xingling’s heart rose to her throat…
A dinner knife cut through the air, leaving a beautiful trajectory, and successfully interrupted the green-haired elf’s spellcasting.
‘It’s Miss Ye Xin!’
Ye Xingling’s eyes lit up. Indeed, Miss Ye Xin was handling everything calmly in the face of danger. Even though she seemed to have made herself somewhat disheveled due to some unspeakable reason, she still controlled the direction of the whole situation!
‘As expected of Miss Ye Xin!’
Soon, she couldn’t smile anymore.
Miss Ye Xin, targeted by the green-haired elf, ultimately couldn’t bear the weight and fell into the green-haired elf’s hands. As for the two who had barely defeated the monster, one chased after them, while the other strode menacingly in a certain direction…
‘What happened in between?’
The video stopped there abruptly, completely leaving her hanging!
Ye Xingling eagerly opened the next video. Disappointingly, the events shown in the following videos were roughly Senior Qiluo arriving, the Human Alliance taking over the scene, and a picture of things settling down… or so it seemed?
Senior Jin Ming seemed to be arguing angrily with someone from the Human Alliance. Then Senior Qiluo said a few words to that person, and that person, with a grim face, called over a few Human Alliance staff members to take away a female guest?
Ye Xingling watched in confusion. Her curiosity drove her to continue searching for the needed information in the world of chat records.
Next up was a notice, an official explanation from the Human Alliance. They hardly glossed over the issues, admitted their negligence, and disclosed the cause and effect of the incident, hoping that the citizens of Satellite City would take this as a warning and be wary of elves who might harm them.
‘Oh, this time it’s actually decent. Sure enough, when you can’t suppress the truth any longer, the Human Alliance will respond head-on.’
The last one was also a chat record. Someone had compiled the various “main characters” appearing in the videos and even summarized their information. It made one feel that as times progressed, internet users would never stop digging. Things like “the more you dig, the more you find” were still common in the entertainment industry.
‘Hmm… The man who first engaged in battle in the video: Star-Dark level hunter Qiansui, now the leader of the Satellite City Hunter’s Union, a superpower user, strength around the Entering Dream grade.’
‘Following closely behind is her Senior Jin Ming. She already made a name at the First Night grade. With her rare melee combat ability among magical girls, she could hold her own against an Entering Dream grade monster. She also has a record of solo killing a First Night grade monster…’
‘So Senior Jin Ming is this strong?’
‘It seems she, Ye Xingling, also needs to quickly advance to the First Night grade. That way, she can help the seniors in battle, and also use the magical girl allowance to supplement the family income, so big bro doesn’t have to work so hard.’
‘Speaking of which, what exactly is big bro’s job…’
Ye Xingling continued reading while worrying.
‘Miss Ye Xin: the only information available is that she is a Midnight-level hunter. Her information seems to be well protected by the Hunter’s Union? Maybe she’s some big shot in the Hunter’s Union…?’
‘Midnight-level hunter… also has to hunt Midnight-level monsters… So Miss Ye Xin is this amazing too…’
