Nightingale – Nightingale Dark Battle.
It had always been the most mysterious and exciting event in the entire world of professional esports.
It was held once a year.
Only the top players in the world were invited to participate. Even the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and Seven Kings were among them.
The identities of all the participants were kept secret. They only competed with each other purely based on strength, so it often caused all kinds of speculation and discussion in the outside world and even in the entire esports circle.
But among them, the identities of the founders of Nightingale Dark Battle were especially mysterious.
The only information that was known was that the members who were qualified to join the "management group" had to be at least at the level of the Seven Kings. For example, the Wild King Nian 13 of the Taiwan server, North America's top laner Seven, and Korea's Seven King Mid Laner Orian.
There were even Yonkō (Four Emperors) like Autumn.
But not all of these people were the earliest and most senior founders of Nightingale Dark Battle.
There were only a few people who could be identified as the founders of Nightingale Dark Battle. Some of them had already left or faded out of the esports circle, so the number of people who remained was even fewer.
Crow was one of them.
After a long time, Lin Feng learned his identity from the first cultivator.
But compared to Crow, there was still another founder of Nightingale Dark Battle who was even more mysterious and unknown. Until now, perhaps no one in the world knew his true identity.
Axe。
Perhaps in the past one or two years of Nightingale Dark Battle, no one had seen the founder of Axe fight in the dark battle. No one could see the specific strength of this founder, which only added to his mysterious aura.
But since he was the founder of Nightingale Dark Battle, and the fact that the other founder was Crow, who was the top legend in Europe in the previous generation, it was reasonable to say that this Axe was definitely not an ordinary person.
But he couldn't find any clues at all.
"Thirteen seemed to have said that he had secretly checked Axe's IP address before." Lin Feng furrowed his brows. "They said the IP address came from our country … But that doesn't make sense. Our country's social circle isn't that big. If someone was Axe, they would've found out long ago."
At that time, a certain someone and Nian Thirteen were chatting online. They purposely did a detailed and specific list analysis of the entire LPL region, including Morning Star at Dawn, Snowfall Nightsong, Golden Twinkle, and Lightless Heart. They even included the professional players who had retired in the past few years.
But he had no clue at all.
He couldn't guess it no matter how hard he tried.
The girl sitting beside him continued to take small sips of water with her head lowered. "Hmm … But even if the IP is found, it might not be real. There are ways to hide and forge it."
It was as if he had said this carelessly.
Lin Feng nodded. "That makes sense. Back then, Thirteen and I were thinking the same thing. He even said that he thought that Axe was me. Anyway, I don't think he's from here, so the IP address isn't reliable."
But as he spoke, he paused again and scratched his head.
"But I don't know why …"
"I just feel like there's something strange about this Axe."
"It's like …"
"Like I might know him?"
When he said this, his tone was a little uncertain.
Because this feeling of his was completely without any real basis or clues as a reference. It was purely a subconscious intuition, as if it made him feel that the mysterious Axe might be related to him in some way...
But it didn't seem to make sense.
But Lin Feng's careless words made An Xin's hand tremble. A certain someone subconsciously looked over.
"Hey, Steamed Bun, what's wrong?"
An Xin quickly shook her head. "It's nothing. I just didn't hold it properly —"
There was a rare hint of guilt in her voice.
Lin Feng nodded and looked at the girl in front of him with concern. "Are you really tired? Do you want to go back and rest?"
"No need." The girl waved her hand awkwardly, then quickly tried to change the topic. "By the way, did Tang Tang reply to your message? She turned off her phone …"
Lin Feng's attention was diverted by the girl.
"Oh yeah, it's been a few hours. She hasn't replied."
An Xin urged, "Then try again."
Lin Feng didn't back down. He took out his phone and dialed Tang Bingyao's number again. However, the system's monotonous voice rang again. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable." Lin Feng didn't back down.
Lin Feng and An Xin put down their phones and looked at each other.
This …
What's going on?
… …
The call still didn't go through. Lin Feng and An Xin didn't have any better ideas, so they could only put aside their doubts for now.
It was still early.
After browsing the forum for a while, An Xin suggested watching a movie. Unfortunately, most of the video websites in the UK had copyright restrictions and could not be accessed normally. If they wanted to watch a movie in English on the internet, it would be difficult for a certain someone …
"I told you to get better at your English. Look at the bad side."
The girl scolded Lin Feng.
"Hey, my English is pretty good now. I can communicate normally. It's not like I can compete with you after staying in England for half a year."
In the end, the two could only watch a League of Legends match. Although it was also in English, it didn't affect the viewing experience too much.
In the evening, Lin Feng and An Xin, who had been in the internet café for the whole afternoon, paid their bills and left the internet café. They found a nice Hong Kong-style restaurant in Chinatown and went in for dinner. After dinner, Lin Feng suggested that An Xin go home and rest early, but the young girl pouted and protested, "I'm sorry.
"It's so hard to get out. What's the point of going back so early?"
"Let's go!"
In the face of the girl's rare coquettish offensive, Lin Feng had no choice but to concede and agree unconditionally. As the happy girl dragged him to stroll on the streets of China Town, he muttered to himself,
"I've been in England for half a year … I don't usually have time to go out. Why does it feel like I'm in jail in Manchester …"
The girl looked back at him.
"Huh? What are you mumbling to yourself about? "
Lin Feng immediately put on an innocent smile.
"Oh, nothing!
I was just talking about how happy I was! "
Around 9 pm, Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao were finally ready to head back home. While waiting for a taxi, Lin Feng called Tang Bingyao again under An Xin's urging.
Her phone was still off.
Even Lin Feng couldn't help but frown as he looked at An Xin.
"Tang Tang wouldn't turn her phone off for so long."
An expression of worry appeared on Anxin's face.
"Try calling again."
"I'll ask Senior and Xiao Wu about it."
