After a long journey, when Ye Che led Su Mingxi through hidden paths, they finally arrived at the secret base of "Night," with inevitable signs of fatigue on their faces. The base was concealed in a deep valley, isolated from the world, and only a few insiders could find this hidden location. The exterior of the base was low-key and sturdy, giving a sense of a military fortress, quite different from the conventional impression of a shelter for supernaturals.
After passing through a series of security gates, Ye Che finally showed a relaxed expression on his face. He turned to Su Mingxi and with a hint of relaxation in his eyes, said, "We're here. This is our safe haven."
Su Mingxi looked around and her eyes sparkled with curiosity about this new environment. The interior of the base was decorated in a simple and modern style, filled with a cold metallic texture, exuding a high-tech atmosphere. Surveillance equipment and various advanced security systems quietly operated in the corners, showcasing the level of security here.
Other members in the base showed a hint of surprise when they saw Su Mingxi, as few outsiders visited here. However, with Ye Che accompanying her, they still greeted her with friendly smiles and polite hellos.
Su Mingxi asked softly, "This place is really different. Ye Che, what do you do here?"
Ye Che replied calmly, "This is our operational base. I am mainly responsible for mission execution, training, and strategic planning. I have spent many years here, it's like my home."
Ye Che brought her to an empty room, preparing to let her rest and relieve the fatigue along the way.
"You rest here first, I'll go take a shower and come back later," Ye Che said to Su Mingxi with a hint of concern in his voice.
Su Mingxi nodded slightly, gratefully glancing at Ye Che. She entered the room, which, though simple, was very clean and comfortable. She lay down on the bed and soon drifted into a sweet dream.
Meanwhile, Ye Che returned to his own room, quickly taking a hot shower to wash away the fatigue and dust from the journey. After a brief rest, his mind was still concerned about Su Mingxi, so he soon got up and went to her room.
When Su Mingxi woke up, she found Ye Che sitting quietly in a chair in her room, looking at her with focused eyes.
"You're awake. How do you feel?" Ye Che asked calmly.
Su Mingxi sat up and stretched lazily, "I feel much better, but I'm a little hungry."
They went to the cafeteria together for breakfast. Inside the cafeteria, the air was filled with the aroma of freshly prepared food, and various sounds combined to create a busy yet orderly scene. Members of the base shuttled back and forth, picking up their meals and chatting, their eyes occasionally showing curiosity towards Su Mingxi. In this familiar environment, Ye Che appeared particularly at ease, his gaze still deep and occasionally revealing a hint of relaxation.
Su Mingxi followed Ye Che, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the base members. Although she felt a bit nervous inside, she maintained a calm demeanor on the surface. She casually asked Ye Che, "Are these people all your companions? They all seem very capable."
Ye Che nodded, his voice calm but tinged with pride. "Yes, they are all members of 'Ye'. Each person has their own strengths. We live and train together here like one big family."
Su Mingxi smiled lightly, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "And what about you, Ye Che? In this 'family,' what role do you play?"
Ye Che was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat unnatural, his expression a bit vacant: "I... I guess I'm the brother who always works hard. There's always a lot to handle."
Su Mingxi covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, her voice soft and charming: "It seems that I have indeed found a good 'big brother'."
They found a quiet corner in the cafeteria and sat down to enjoy a simple yet nutritious breakfast. Ye Che moved with neatness and order, while Su Mingxi was more casual.
After breakfast, Ye Che took Su Mingxi to visit the entire base. Walking through the cafeteria, Ye Che led Su Mingxi through the corridors of the base, with each corner revealing different aspects of this secret organization. They passed by the training area, where the supernaturals were focused on their individual training, displaying agile and powerful movements, showcasing extraordinary skills and abilities.
Ye Che's introduction may have been unremarkable, but his words revealed a deep familiarity with this place. He pointed to a high-tech training facility and said, "This is our simulation battlefield, used to enhance members' combat capabilities and strategic thinking."
Su Mingxi's eyes sparkled as she asked a question, "The training here looks very rigorous. Ye Che, what kind of missions do you face?"
Ye Che paused, his expression serious, "Our missions are diverse, ranging from confronting The one who falls into demonic influence to protecting important supernaturals, and occasionally, we have some special secret missions."
Su Mingxi showed great interest in his response, her gaze sweeping over every corner of the base, trying to understand the true meaning of this organization.
They then arrived at the armory, where various high-tech and traditional weapons were displayed. Ye Che casually picked up an exquisite long knife, his movements seeming somewhat casual, yet also revealing professionalism: "Each weapon has its own characteristics, and we need to choose the appropriate equipment based on the nature of the mission."
Su Mingxi nodded gently, her sense of novelty undiminished. Her eyes were full of curiosity and exploration for this base.
Finally, they arrived at the command center, where the large screen displayed intelligence from around the world. Ye Che pointed to a spot on the screen and said, "This is where we monitor anomalous events. Any abnormalities will be discovered by us at the first time."
Su Mingxi stood quietly there, listening to Ye Che's introduction, feeling as if she had stepped into a whole new world. This world was filled with mystery and the unknown, but with Ye Che by her side, she felt a strange sense of safety and belonging.
As they walked through a complex maze of corridors, Ye Che suddenly stopped, looking around with a puzzled expression. Su Mingxi couldn't help but laugh softly, " Ye Che, did we get lost?"
Ye Che had a hint of confusion on his face, he cleared his throat and tried to disguise his perplexity: "The layout of this base can be confusing at times. Let me think... We should go this way." With that, he led Su Mingxi to another corridor.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a door. Ye Che suddenly stopped, hesitating as if he had forgotten what was behind this door. Su Mingxi raised an eyebrow and teased, "It seems that even a genius with extraordinary abilities can have forgetful moments."
Ye Che smiled slightly, looking a bit shy, and showed a rare expression: "Indeed. Sometimes, I am too focused on training and missions, so I appear a bit dull in the details of daily life."
Just as Su Mingxi was about to speak again, Ye Che suddenly pushed open the door, revealing a greenhouse filled with various plants. He explained, "This is the base's ecological area, used for relaxing and providing fresh air."
Su Mingxi walked into the greenhouse and looked around in amazement at the lush greenery. Her eyes revealed admiration as she said, "This is such a wonderful place, Ye Che. Do you come here to relax often?"
Ye Che nodded, his gaze wandering around the greenhouse, looking somewhat relaxed. "Yes, this place makes me feel calm. Sometimes, in between missions, I come here to think."
In the greenhouse, Su Mingxi walked lightly towards a plant with brilliant blossoms, gently touching the tender petals. She turned to Ye Che, her face showing a look of astonishment. "These plants are really beautiful, Ye Che. Your base really knows how to choose a location."
Standing beside her, Ye Che watched her appreciation of the beauty of nature, a barely perceptible smile on his face. "These plants are not only beautiful, but they also help relieve stress. For those of us who are often in a tense state as supernaturals, this place is like a sanctuary."
Su Mingxi turned around and looked at Ye Che with a playful glint in her eyes, " Ye Che, I never thought you would be interested in these things. You always seem so calm to me."
Ye Che awkwardly scratched his head, looking somewhat unnatural, "I'm just a regular person too. Sometimes I feel tired and stressed. These plants are a way for me to relax."
Su Mingxi listened and a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes. She softly replied, "I'm starting to understand you, silly goose. Your outward coldness is just a disguise, your heart is actually very tender."
Ye Che looked at her, a sense of emotion in his eyes. He calmly said, "Everyone has their own mask, Su Mingxi. But in front of you, I hope to be able to take off this mask as much as possible."
The fragrance of flowers in the greenhouse seems to add a magical touch to this understanding. In this lush green space, they seem to have opened a door to each other's inner worlds.
