Chapter 0771: Virtual and Real

Nighthawk was also uneasy in his heart.
He actually didn't quite understand what Lord Binghai had in mind. Seeing that it was already bright outside, he unexpectedly sent him back to Yangfan High School, saying for him to keep an eye on the situation inside.
As long as Jiang Yue and others leave, inform Lord Binghai as soon as possible.
Nighthawk speculates that Lord Binghai may want to take action, but is unwilling to do so at Yangfan High School.
This speculation is just Night Eagle's guess. He actually hopes that Mr. Binghai and Mr. Jiangyue will have a tough clash, as he enjoys watching the excitement and is not afraid of any trouble.
Regardless of who wins or who survives between these two, Night Eagle can accept it.
The Ice Lord, who has always been lofty and superior, is unexpectedly so tenacious this time, which is somewhat disappointing to the Night Hawk.
It seems that the loss of the Shadow Guardian and the Stone Man has greatly affected the Ice Lord, and to some extent, it has also influenced the Ice Lord's strategy.
If both of them were here, Lady Binghai would not be so cautious.
Although Lady Binghai did not show any fear in front of him and the Poisonworm, Night Raven seemed to have sensed something.
Of course, Night Hawk can see through it but won't reveal it.
On the surface, he is still Ice Sea's protector and must obey his orders.
Night Hawk suspects that Poison Bug, that cunning guy, probably also understands this. That guy likely has his own agenda.
If Mr. Binghai can defeat Jiang Yue, then Du Chong will definitely add fuel to the fire.
But if Mr. Binghai cannot beat Jiang Yue, there is absolutely no hope for that guy to fight for Mr. Binghai. He will escape just like before, both before and after.
The reason why Night Eagle is so restless is not because he is afraid of explaining to Master Ice Sea.
But because he's worried about causing misunderstandings with Jiang Yue.
If Jiang Yue thinks that he is a double agent and betrays him again to join Master Ice Sea, leading to a misunderstanding and causing him to take drastic measures...
This is undoubtedly the unbearable result for Night Hawk.
The feeling of danger, like walking on a tightrope with every step, is truly agonizing.
Night Hawk found a hidden area and lurked in the darkness.
This position can basically observe the dynamics of Yangfan Middle School. If someone leaves the school gate of Yangfan Middle School, he will definitely be discovered the first time.
Night Eagle was caught in a dilemma. He knew very well that Jiang Yue had tampered with him to lock down his location, in order to facilitate locking down the location of Mr. Binghai.
So, he is now lurking near Yangfan High School, and Jiang Yue should already know.
Night Hawk is now in a dilemma. He even thought about going straight into Yangfan High School and telling Jiang Yue that Lord Binghai is nearby, and you should go and deal with him.
But he didn't lose his mind. He was well aware that such actions could potentially worsen the situation.
In case Lord Binghai notices and manages to escape beforehand, the collision he desperately wants to happen might not occur.
And Night Hawk exposed his identity in front of Lord Ice Sea, which means the value of the undercover mission is reset to zero and he will be viewed as a thorn in Ice Sea's side from now on.
There is no doubt that this action is definitely not worth it.
"I hope Jiang Yue, this big shot, can understand my thoughts. With his acute mind, he should be able to figure out that the Ice Sea Lord he has been longing for has already appeared."
Nighthawk can only console himself like this.
It is obviously unrealistic to leak information through ventilation, and I hope Mr. Jiang Yue can understand.
Once Mr. Jiang Yue knows that Lord Binghai is nearby, he may take the initiative to take measures. In this way, the collision Nighthawk has been looking forward to may happen.
"Beat each other up, hurry up and fight. You two big shots should fight fiercely, preferably to the death," grumbled Night Falcon resentfully.
While he couldn't be called loyal to Lord Binghai, he only feared Jiang Yue and didn't have any emotional attachment to either side.
He would like to see a situation where both parties are equally harmed and both fall down.
……
In the vicinity of the teaching building, Han Jingjing obviously noticed the subtle change in Jiang Yue's face and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"Jingjing, didn't you say before that you wanted to have a contest with Lord Binghai to see who is more worthy of this staff?"
Han Jingjing's eyes flickered, "Are you saying he's here?"
"Probably coming." Jiang Yue's mouth curled up into a cryptic smile.
The Night Eagle stood still outside the school, without emitting any signals, but according to Jiang Yue's speculation, this was most likely Ice Sea's way of sending him to observe the situation.
Jiang Yue is not worried about the Night Hawk changing his mind.
Under the control of the talisman, as long as the Night Hawk makes a slight move, Jiang Yue can make him disappear in the blink of an eye.
What Jiang Yue is more curious about is what plans Lord Binghai has in mind.
According to reason, he should launch an attack just before dawn.
Now that it's already bright outside, Jiang Yue couldn't understand how much uncertainty the other side could still have after daybreak.
Han Jingjing, however, didn't think too much about it. Her eyes were shining bright, showing a somewhat eager and ready-to-go attitude: "Come on, come on. I must prove that I am more worthy of this wand than him."
While speaking, Han Jingjing held the wand in her hand and stared at it firmly.
To the disappointment of Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing, they waited and waited, but the Lord Binghai never came to kill them.
Han Jingjing couldn't help but have some doubts: "Xiao Jiang, did you miscalculate this time?"
The fact is that Binghai didn't show up, so it's not an exaggeration to say that there was a miscalculation.
Jiang Yue doesn't care whether he miscalculated or not. He just doesn't understand what Grandmaster Binghai is really planning.
If he deployed Night Hawk to guard the school perimeter, he probably intends to take some action.
But what is his next move?
Why doesn't he act at night? It has already been one or two hours in the morning, waiting left and right, and there is still no sign of his action.
This makes Jiang Yue, who has always been confident in his judgment, can't help but doubt himself.
The possibility is that the guy is simply setting up a trap, sending a Night Hawk outside to confuse them while he himself has already left and sent other forces.
Moreover, the other party's sole intention is to keep them stuck in Yang Fan Middle School, so that they cannot take any action for the whole day.
Han Jingjing soon thought of these too.
"Jiang Yue, do you think that Lord Binghai has run out of options? Is he intentionally trying to delay us and prevent us from taking action? Could all of this be the idea of that Tree Ancestor?"
If I can't defeat you, I'll just delay you.
As long as you don't cause any damage temporarily, it's a victory for the Tree Ancestors.
Jiang Yue pondered and said, "We cannot rule out this possibility. If that's the case, our stay at Yang Fan Middle School might be exactly what they hope to see."
"Yes, we can't just passively wait like this."
"Han Jingjing also heard that Jiang Yue was killing randomly with Lin Yifei all day yesterday. Deep down inside, she would be lying if she said she wasn't envious."
Even if it's a rotation system, shouldn't it be Han Jingjing's turn today after Lin Yifei yesterday?
This guy Jiang Yue, shouldn't favor one and neglect the other.
Han Jingjing is currently in a phase of high awakening of her abilities and high confidence. She is very eager to prove her abilities in battle and thereby update Jiang Yue's perception of her.
Remind Jiang Yue not to always arrange her as a cover and not to find ways to separate her during every battle.
She, Han Jingjing, is an awakened person with strong combat abilities, not just a delicate vase that needs constant protection!
Has to be said, Jiang Yue now seems somewhat skeptical.
The evolution cycle of that eerie tree is only this week, at most not more than ten days.
In other words, every remaining day now is extremely important. Even to the point of saying, the entire Star City now resembles an activated doomsday countdown clock.
Every minute and every second is precious.
If we really stay here for a long time, Jiang Yue really can't afford to stay.
If all of this is really Lord Binghai's plan, it will only keep him here, and the longer they stay in Yang Fanzhong, the more they will fulfill each other's wishes.
"Jiang Yue, we need to change our mindset. I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that we have no reason to be led by the other side. Since waiting for them is useless, why should we keep waiting? We can leave completely. If the other side really cares about this wand, they will definitely follow wherever we go. This wand is like bait, we dictate where it goes, don't we?"
Han Jingjing's mind is quite insightful.
Jiang Yue carefully pondered and realized this was indeed the case.
Before, he had judged that Mr. Binghai would find ways to infiltrate Yangfan High School, and his mind was deducing all possible situations.
What makes him depressed is that none of the situations he deduced actually happened.
Icehai is much more composed than he imagined.
Moreover, judging by the pace, the Night Eagle might be just a deceptive move with unpredictable intentions to confuse them.
Even Jiang Yue faintly suspected that the expectations he had placed on Night Eagle might not be effective at all.
There is a possibility that Night Eagle, the undercover pawn, might have already been exposed by Mr. Binghai. As a result, they might have been turned into a pawn by the other side.
If that's the case, Jiang Yue has to re-evaluate this opponent.
This is not just about being patient, but about having such deep wits that it's somewhat alarming.
发现夜鹰被江跃策反，明知夜鹰做了二五仔，却不动声色，反向操作一波，这城府确实非同一般。
当然，这一切目前只是江跃的猜测。
Although it is just speculation, it has to be considered as a possibility.
"Jingjing, you're right. We can't always be led by the nose. From now on, we need to take control of the initiative."
Han Jingjing's eyes lit up. "Alright, it's time to take the initiative."
"No, let's pretend as if nothing happened and leave Yangfan Middle School."
"Huh? Is that it?" Han Jingjing was somewhat disappointed. She had built up her emotions to this extent, only to find out that there would be no proactive action. It felt like a waste of emotions.
"Just like you said, if we have bait in hand, is it important for us to take the initiative?"
Seemingly deep in thought, Han Jingjing asked, "Are you suggesting that we lure them out?"
"Whether they are willing to come out or not, it doesn't matter. The initiative is in our hands, and we should do what we need to do. As long as the tree ancestor doesn't want us to do something, we should do it with all our might, and we won't go wrong!"
This is particularly appealing to Han Jingjing's appetite: "That's right, why hesitate? Should we call Tong Feifei and the others?"
"Let's not rush to call them, let him act alone with Zhong Leyi later. It would be even riskier if they follow us all the way."
"That's true," Han Jingjing nodded, feeling satisfied in her heart.
Jiang Yue's words seemed inconsequential, but actually revealed a message: he had recognized her abilities.
This recognition has not yet been achieved by Tong Di and Zhong Leyi.
Downstairs, Tong Feifei and Zhong Leyi have also basically freed themselves from the earnest retention of the survivors and simply packed their luggage, planning to leave.
Jiang Yue intercepted them and gave a brief arrangement.
Tong Feifei and Zhong Leyi heard that Ice Sea was not dead and still lurking in the dark, so they didn't dare to be negligent and naturally followed Jiang Yue's arrangements.
Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing left the campus main gate after everything was settled.
This gate was exactly where Night Hawk was keeping an eye on.
Night Hawk saw Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing approaching the gate from afar, feeling secretly delighted. Suddenly, a faint voice came in his ear: "Go, go to him and bring this with you. He is not on guard against you. I don't care how you do it, but you must use this thing on them."
Nighthawk had no defense against someone coming from behind. He broke out in a cold sweat as a voice sounded in his ear, alerting him to someone's presence.
If the other person were to attack him, he would have died a hundred times over by now.
Looking back, sure enough, Lord Binghai appeared in front of him like a ghost at some point, placing two black magic pills lightly in front of him.
"Lord Binghai, w-what does this...this mean?" Night Hawk stammered, a strong sense of foreboding surging in his heart.
In the profound eyes of Lord Binghai, there shot a sinister light, like a ghost, staring at Night Hawk, making him feel a chilling sensation, as if falling into an icy dungeon.
"Don't try to argue. If you want to redeem your betrayal, go and eliminate these two individuals. Only meritorious service can make up for it. I believe you can do it, and you must do it... Go."
The words of Lord Binghai are like incantations, possessing a mysterious power that seeps into Night Hawk's ears, word by word.
Night Hawk's autonomous consciousness is also gradually weakening, as if the control is slipping into the hands of Lord Binghai.
After ten seconds, Night Hawk completely transformed into a different person, resembling a thoroughly brainwashed warrior. He respectfully bowed to Lord Ice Sea and said, "Rest assured, my Lord, I will not disappoint my mission."
With a swish, Night Hawk darted out from the shadows and swiftly headed towards the school gate, exclaiming anxiously, "Jiang Yue, something's not right! Get ready, Ice Sea has gathered a large number of allies and is preparing to attack Yangfan Middle School again. He has made it clear that he will thoroughly destroy the school and turn it into ruins!"
Jiang was startled by Night Eagle's move.
He thought Night Eagle would show weakness and let them go.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually made this move, jumping out from the dark and kindly warning them.
This is so sudden. Why did you come out and take sides so quickly? This doesn't seem like Night Eagle's usual character.
