Chapter 21 : A Crossdressing Shota!
In the theater.
The Announcer appeared in a corner of the theater, making no sound and drawing no attention.
Her appearances were always very low-key, like a ghost appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
In terms of sudden appearances, she was probably even more skilled than a certain embarrassing ghost girl.
However, no matter how secretively the Announcer appeared, someone still noticed her.
After all, the theater was only so big, and the people staying in the theater were all extraordinary. Sensing a suddenly appearing presence was very easy.
"My my~ Isn't this the Announcer? Do you have some business at the theater?"
Kong Yubai's figure stood not far from the Announcer, smiling as she stared at this "cursed" black-haired loli.
The Announcer let out a light sigh.
"You're asking something you already know."
"Pfft~ So you were indeed threatened by the Spectator?"
"No, even if she hadn't come to find me, I would have joined sooner or later. This is just bringing it forward."
The Announcer ran a hand through her short black hair, seemingly quickly adapting to her current body.
After all, switching back and forth between two bodies was very troublesome.
Each switch required some time to adjust.
It was really bothersome.
Kong Yubai leisurely walked over and continued, "I'm saying, as a member of the troupe, you should be more proactive in helping the Spectator. Having the Spectator come to find you every time is really not very proactive."
"Huh? The troupe member is Mo Tutu, not Mo Tu. The Announcer is only the former's identity. Doesn't that girl often use this way of distinguishing between the two identities?"
The Announcer shrugged, not intending to continue idle chat with Kong Yubai.
"I'm going to make preparations now. You all do as you see fit."
"Mm, goodbye."
Kong Yubai waved at the Announcer's retreating figure.
The Announcer's presence quickly disappeared from within the theater.
Now she should be going to find a place to rest in the capital.
This was also preparation for entering the dream.
Sensing the Announcer's presence disappear, Kong Yubai pondered.
"Hmm... the Announcer's personality is still not docile enough. How can we make her a bit more obedient?"
Ye Lan seemed to have mentioned some plan.
Kong Yubai didn't expect the Announcer to completely obey the Spectator's every word, just to proactively step up when the Spectator needed her.
Unfortunately, the Announcer seemed more loyal to her own amusement. They needed to find a way to correct this bad habit.
Sorry, Announcer.
Kong Yubai felt a little guilty in her heart, but thinking of the Spectator's smiling face, that guilt quickly disappeared.
The Announcer's figure appeared within the capital.
She raised her head to look at the pitch-black night, pondering thoughtfully for a moment.
After coming to the capital, she could more accurately divine things here.
This was also a regional bonus.
To divine matters of the capital, it was indeed less effort to do so locally in the capital.
However, after trying to divine for quite a while, she didn't obtain much information.
The only thing she could confirm was that that person's true form only existed within that ethereal dream realm.
"Is that person living in dreams? It's a bit like the legendary nightmare, but the method of weaving millions of people's dreams, even for a nightmare, would be the king of nightmares."
Although it sounded very pressuring, that's what made it interesting.
"Forget it, let's find a place to switch identities."
The Announcer walked to a nearby public restroom, then decisively entered the men's room.
At this time, someone happened to pass by and watched in shock as a cute little girl walked into the men's room.
"Holy crap! Could that cute loli actually be a crossdressing shota?! Though I guess that's acceptable too..."
Not long after, a figure walked out of the men's room, the black-haired young man who had finished changing.
He glanced at the strange man squatting not far from the men's room, whose expression seemed to be expecting something based on his look.
"Hmm... strange, why hasn't that cute black-haired loli come out yet? If it was a girl who realized she went into the wrong bathroom, she'd definitely come out quickly. But she still hasn't come out... Could she really be a crossdressing shota?! Oh my god!"
"Heh."
Mo Tu just smiled lightly, then turned and left.
He didn't plan to go to headquarters now, but to find a hotel to stay at first.
He didn't want people to discover he had returned to the capital, otherwise it would bring all sorts of trouble, and he'd be forced to deal with them.
That kind of amusement would only waste time.
Besides, just to find a place to sleep, anywhere would do.
The identity of a Radiant Sun Night Watcher was very versatile. No matter how long he stayed in this city, no one would notice traces of his existence.
Then Mo Tu found a nice hotel and planned to stay here for a few days.
After completing the procedures using a false identity, Mo Tu came to his room and lay down on the bed.
Looking at the time now... it was already very late.
The citizens in the city were gradually falling asleep, preparing to enter that bizarre dreamland.
Ordinary people with low mental power would only think it was a very realistic dream, not noticing anything abnormal, and would naturally expose their true thoughts.
"If it really has this characteristic, my true thoughts will also become reality in the dream. What exactly will they be? I'm looking forward to it," Mo Tu showed an expectant smile.
Although he understood himself very well.
"Well then, let's have a good sleep tonight."
......
Meanwhile.
The personnel inside the Night Watchers' headquarters also began preparing to enter the Star Eclipse dream.
In a certain rest room.
Ye Lan lay on the bed waiting for drowsiness to come.
"Hmm, Shu Yao and Kong Yubai are also ready. Will it be successful? Also... I wonder if Mo Tu has come to the capital. He wouldn't stand me up, would he? I hope everything goes smoothly tonight. It would be nice to get home quickly."
Ye Lan muttered, beginning to split her consciousness into two parts.
The individual named Ye Lan quickly fell into deep sleep.
In the theater, Ye Xing was still staying awake, sitting in a seat in the audience, with Lian Hua sitting beside her.
Shu Yao and Kong Yubai had rented a room in the capital to sleep.
As for why they weren't sleeping in the theater, it was mainly out of concern that the Star Eclipse's interference might not penetrate the theater. It was more stable to enter sleep within the capital's range.
As humans, they wouldn't emit Star Eclipse aura, so they shouldn't be targeted by big shots.
Even if strange people targeted them, Kong Yubai could escape danger with her remaining two-thirds of power.
Overall, Ye Xing didn't need to worry about them.
Now she just needed to wait to be drawn into the Star Eclipse dream.
"Ah... it's here!"
Just as Ye Xing said this, Ye Lan awoke in the dream, appearing in this dream world full of fantastical colors.
This was the dream, a true dream where anything was possible.
And Ye Lan's task was to explore here, while conveying the information discovered by the Leader's side back to them.
"Woo-hoo, let's start the action!"
