Chapter 478: Integrating into the daily life of Cairo
Johannesson arrived a day early and did pretty well, at least he stole a car.

Li Nuo leaned against the rear window, his eyes fixed outside, his pupils retracted, and he looked at the panel that popped out with his dead fish eyes.

[Border Prison Script Update: Solving the Virus Crisis]

[Branch plot: Recycling equipment]

[Mission details: There are only two unreliable policemen in this city. They are from Cairo and employees of Cairo's "Space Expedition Team". Because they are not valued by their superiors, they have no motivation to work in this city unless they help them solve some problems, such as killing the vampires formed by the "virus"]

[Task Tips: Kill the vampire leaders (there are too many, so you don’t have to kill them all)]

After he saw the red smoke induced by the smell of vampires, an update for the above quest came out.

The so-called "branch plot" refers to the content that can be completed selectively in the main mission.

This mission was also triggered after Johannesson's team went to the police station yesterday to chat with the two Cairo policemen.

At the Cairo Police Department, Johannesson and his team got a bunch of badges.

Li Nuo's pupils were depressed, and the "smiley face" badge that he was playing with in his left hand was printed on his retina.

【Cairo Guard Bandit Badge】

[Quality: Junk ~ Excellent]

[Effect: Special props for stealing things]

[Brief description: Those damn Cairo people! I fuck your ancestors! Ahhhhh! You guys ruined my business!]

Wenk often said that the Cairo people were a group of thieves who sneaked into Basel to steal some meaningless things, such as the camera that recorded Wenk being anally raped and the gems of the Basel Church.

The badge is actually like a bounty-distributing bank card. After doing good things that benefit the Cairo Police Department, you will receive funding from the Police Department.

The first thing Johannessen did after getting the badge yesterday was to wipe out a gang of thieves.

One yuan.

Help an old lady find her cat.

ten yuan.

It can be seen that there is no logic in Cairo's world.

Bang~!

Li Nuo flicked up the badge, but his hand trembled and he didn't catch it...

He looked to the side awkwardly.

The badge fell on the pants of Johannesson's teammate, Shao Hong, who had worked with Johannesson when they were racing in Cairo.

"Um……"

"what……"

"You, hello."

Shao Hong timidly handed the badge to Li Nuo, her hands visibly shaking.

"Thank you."

"No, you're welcome."

Shao Hong moved to the edge, leaving enough space for two people between her and Li Nuo in the not-so-spacious back seat.

Li Nuo frowned deeply.

"Sister, have I ever bitten you?"

"without!"

Shao Hong turned her head towards the window in fear.

"You, you are a good person."

"No! What the hell! I recruited you!"

Snap.

Johannesson handed over a map from the front passenger seat.

"You are the number one in the world war after all. You defeated the 'End Corridor', so you still have some deterrent power."

Shao Hong nodded quickly.

Li Nuo took the map and said sarcastically, "You are just a coward."

Shao Hong nodded quickly.

Li Nuo stretched out his hand: "Lend me a pen."

Shao Hong nodded quickly.

"Pen!"

"Ah! Don't eat me!"

Shao Hong began to roar, she looked as pitiful as a trafficked girl.

Li Nuo felt wronged: "What did I do..."

Johannesson explained, "Brother, haven't you been collecting intelligence for the past six months? The news that you were the boss in the World War has spread a long time ago. There are rumors that you ate a hundred children."

Li Nuo covered his forehead and took a deep breath.

He guessed who sent it, damn Wink.

"I, I'll give you a pen..."

Shao Hong took out an eyebrow pencil and handed it to Li Nuo.

"Well, thank you..."

"You're welcome."

“I really don’t eat people.”

Shao Hong nodded wildly.

"I, I, I, I believe it."

There was a helpless look in Li Nuo's eyes, as if he had met his nemesis.

Johannesson turned his head away. It was inappropriate to laugh now, but he couldn't help it.

"Brother, come with us to the Cairo Police Station first?"

Li Nuo shook his head. Johnathan had explored the route in advance, and the information about the pink-haired gorilla was also recorded. The two Cairo detectives were extremely unreliable, and there was no benefit in meeting them now.

"No, just go find the vampire."

Based on the direction of the smell and the urban planning observed from the high tower, Li Nuo drew circles around several places that were most likely to be hidden dark places.

He handed the map to the driver, the last of Johannesson's three-man team.

His name is Luo Lei.

His black afro covered half of his face, and he was wearing a black ninja suit. He was about 1.6 meters tall when he stood up, which was considered a good development for someone with developmental disabilities.

Luo Lei took the map and hung it in front of the steering wheel.

"it is good."

This guy is concise and to the point, like a statue.

Li Nuo kept a corner of the map, drew a cartoon portrait of Shao Hong on it, and handed it to Shao Hong.

"I?"

"Ah."

"Thank you, thank you."

Since we want to cooperate, we should not be afraid of each other.

Shao Hong smiled knowingly and put the cartoon drawing into her pocket. How could someone who could draw eat children?

Johannesson saw through the rearview mirror that Li Nuo raised his eyebrows at him, and he responded with an "ok" gesture.

Smart people can get things done with just a glance.

five minutes later.

They were stuck in a huge traffic jam.

There is a group of people fighting on the street ahead. Most of the citizens in the city are interstellar hunters, so it is normal for them to start a gunfight over a disagreement.

"They'll leave when they get tired of fighting."

Johannesson took out an eye mask for sleeping, which meant that he might have to wait for an hour or two.

Li Nuo smelled the fragrance, opened the car door and slipped out.

He found a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes at the edge of the intersection. The stall owner was a pygmy gorilla.

"Little brother, please have mercy on me and buy all the sweet potatoes?"

"One."

"okay."

Li Nuo looked around and saw that the gunfight in the distance was still going on.

The sky is overcast and there is no sunshine.

The surrounding buildings were made of rotten steel bars and old concrete. Mosses that crawled like insects were scattered all over the walls. The roadside was full of garbage. In this city with a very poor environment, the faces of the pedestrians were full of smiles.

There is an airship in the distance. On the huge electronic clock on it is a pixelated bird, which reads the exact time: PM6:00.
The airship is not a means of transportation for dignitaries, it is just a watch and there is not even much space inside the cabin.

The world of Cairo is irrational, and it is impossible to fit in with a secular perspective. What looks like a spaceship could be a clock tower, and what looks like a clock tower could be an excavator.

At this time, the gorilla handed the sweet potato to Li Nuo.

"Ten thousand dollars."

Li Nuo took out a one-yuan coin from his pocket and threw it to him.

"Thank you."

The moment it caught the coin, a bullet shot out from the side, but this guy dodged it with an acrobatic posture.

“This damn city.”

“Well, there are shootings everywhere.”

"That's not the case. The main reason is that the port is full of traveling interstellar hunters and desperadoes, and the territory is very complicated."

The gorilla bit the coin and stuffed it into the crack of his buttocks.

"So there is a 'law of the jungle' that is not written in the text but everyone follows, right?"

Li Nuo peeled open the paper bag of sweet potatoes.

The orangutan nodded.

"So this city is also called the 'Steel Forest'."

"Robbery and the like..."

"Oh, if I can rob, why would I sell sweet potatoes?"

The gorilla used to be a mercenary, but after being shot in the knee, he became a roasted sweet potato vendor.

Li Nuo was a little disappointed that he didn't find out the side quest. The moment he opened his mouth to bite the sweet potato, the sweet potato opened its two big eyes.

"Don't eat me!"

The sweet potato grew two thin noodle-like arms and grabbed Li Nuo's mouth.

"What the hell are you?" The gorilla vendor looked at him as if he were a country bumpkin.

"Guest, don't you know? The scientific name of this thing is 'sweet potato baby'."

Sweet Potato yelled, "I'm a baby, you can't eat a child!"

Li Nuo refused!

"Behave yourself! I spent money!"

"Eating children!"

He started competing with the sweet potato baby on the street.

The gorilla vendor set up a bet on the outcome between the two of them.

In the car, Luo Lei withdrew his gaze from Li Nuo outside the window and said uneasily: "Is he okay?"

Johannesson adjusted the seat to a reclining position and said lazily, "Luo Lei, you were the first in your class of the 'Eternal Life Train', right?"

Luo Lei nodded.

Like Li Nuo, he was the first in the train assessment, but he was a few months later than Li Nuo and the others.

"Well, then why do you doubt it?"

"He looks a bit childish."

Johannesson's mouth curled up slightly.

"If you were on our train, you would understand one thing."

He pushed the blindfold up, revealing his cunning eyes.

"The players on our train are a group of miracles."

Luo Lei wouldn't understand.

Johannesson stopped talking here. A group of people flashed through his mind: Li Nuo, Cha Bai, Maljie, Nanami... Xiao Wu, Soren, Jellal, Amanda and Lu Li, and even Xu Muye who died in the assessment.

Any one of these people would be outstanding in any period, and some of them are even extremely strong.

But they came together.

There are about ten people in total.

There is no fuel-efficient lamp.

Among this group of deformed miracles, the most difficult one to fight against is the demon hunter who defeated the "End Corridor" in the "World War".

And the demon hunter was fighting with a sweet potato baby on the street.

Li Nuo held the twisting sweet potato in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes tightened.

As the gunfire in the distance stopped and the smell of gunpowder dissipated, he smelled the stench of vampires.

Li Nuo knocked on the car window, bit off a sweet potato baby under Shao Hong's gaze, chewed it and said:
"Found it. Is there a gun bag or something like that?"

Johannesson took out a "Cairo Police Toy Set" from the car and threw it to him. It contained a toy phone for communication, a gun of kindness that could not kill people, and a knife of dignity that could only be used for suicide.

"I can just go there myself."

Li Nuo stuffed the revolver given to him by the old man in Cairo into his gun bag, put the kitchen knife into his belt and covered it with his clothes.

Johannesson took out a card and inserted it into the speaker, explaining, "If you don't mind, I can use this thing to hear your voice and see your surveillance images."

Li Nuo said "whatever" and turned away.

Shao Hong looked at his back and asked worriedly, "So confident?"

Johannesson: "He doesn't want to alert the enemy. Let's go and support him somewhere else."

……

Li Nuo followed the smell and came to a school.

The school opened by various traders who came to develop resources decades ago was just a face-saving project, but it was still used by the interstellar hunters and Cairo people who stayed in this city.

After all, no matter how chaotic the situation is, we cannot educate in a disorderly manner.

The security guard was a middle-aged man with a dog's head. He called out to Li Nuo.

"We are in class, no one is allowed in."

Li Nuo picked up a stone from the ground and threw it far away.

The dog-headed guard happily stuck out his tongue and chased the stone.

Li Nuo likes the mentally retarded Binfen from Donamei City.

He walked into the school building, followed the smell to the second floor, stopped outside a classroom, and the sound of students reading textbooks filled his ears.

"Holding your pee can take you a thousand miles, but holding your poop can make you walk an inch~"

The child's pleasant reading voice reminded Li Nuo of his school days when he was bullied.

At this time, the classroom door was opened, and a Cairo alien wearing thick glasses looked up at Li Nuo outside the door.

"Are you a substitute teacher?"

"No."

"Don't be modest... Buddy, help me read it for a while, that text is giving me diarrhea..."

Li Nuo glanced at the students in the classroom, and with a trace of conscience he reminded them.

"That's what you said."

"Just tell me something! These students are all fools."

Teacher Cairo snatched the wrapping paper of the baked sweet potato from Li Nuo's hand and ran to the bathroom.

[Side quest has been triggered: Substitute teacher]

[Task Difficulty: lv1]

[Task reward: 10 experience points]

[Task details: Just play with them casually]

Li Nuo hurried into the classroom and glanced at the students. There were all kinds of races, including Cairo people, gorillas, blue-skinned aliens, octopus people, and humans.

"Are you all adults?"

“I’m an adult now!”

According to Cairo law, a child reaches adulthood when he or she is one month old.

Li Nuo felt relieved. As a warrior of light, he couldn't teach the children bad things, but since they were all adults, it would be easy.

His eyes were on the lesson plan on the table, literature class.

Literature equals art, art equals painting, painting equals cartoonist, so cartoonist equals literature, Li Nuo thought so, picked up the chalk and wrote a few book titles on the blackboard.

"I will teach whichever the monitor chooses."

The monitor is a gorilla. He holds up a wooden board and chooses "C" because the banana looks like a "C".

Li Nuo glanced at the questions and frowned. It was an unprecedented challenge, so he turned around and closed the classroom door.

Thirty minutes later.

Teacher Cairo came out of the bathroom with ease.

"(￣▽￣) lost twenty pounds..."

It opens the door.

"The substitute teacher has worked hard..."

Li Nuo blocked the door and glanced back at it.

The children rushed out in a crowd as if they had seen a savior, panting as if the one teaching them was an ancient god.

Teacher Cairo glanced at the blackboard in confusion: "Bai Jie vs. Cthulhu?"

"Do you want to listen?" Li Nuo: "I'll teach you."

Although Mr. Cairo didn't know what he taught, it was definitely not good, and he cursed and chased after his students.

Seeing everyone so energetic, Li Nuo felt that he had integrated into this city.

In a car one street away.

Johannesson and the other two stared in confusion, as if they had lost their souls.

Shao Hong frowned, bit her lip, and said puzzledly: "Bai Jie used the 'Military Killing Fist' to bombard the tentacles of 'Azathoth'. What happened afterwards? I really want to know..."

Luo Lei looked at Johannesson.

"Are you sure he's reliable?"

"..."

"Don't you think this guy is abstract?"

"..."

Johannesson is now glad that Yu Maljie and Cha Bai are not there. In fact, he doesn't know that these two are not included in the script, but out of sight, out of mind. Otherwise, who knows how abstract these three would be when they get together.

Luo Lei asked again: "Is it possible that the person who could give us the answer in the tower was not him, and you were too anxious and didn't wait for the real answer?"

Johannessen said firmly: "Don't judge a person by appearance... I trust my own judgment."

He felt that this script should be the last time he would work with Li Nuo, and he would have to avoid him even if they met in the future, simply because it would be embarrassing.

If Johannesson had the ability to predict the future, and if he was a little more superstitious, he would regret his "last time" thought.

Under the car.

Turn the world upside down.

Same city.

A deserted city.

After the death of the vampire, the soul and the blood it sucked flowed into this place along the earth veins, and the reversed magic factors spread throughout the city.

A chimera ant gnaws at these invisible objects.

Her swollen belly indicated that a special "king" was about to be born.

……

After Li Nuo drove away the students and teachers with classroom knowledge, he sat on the chair and touched his forehead.

Those students had a strong body odor.

The flow of the vampire's blood stops abruptly here.

If the students are not driven away, they will not be able to sense the smell. In the absurd world, using violence to drive them away may backfire, such as students committing suicide.

"The demon hunter's sense of smell is still a little weak..."

Li Nuo opened his eyes.

Silver pupils locked onto a locker.

He walked over and picked up a strand of brown hair from under the locker.

There was light in the depths of Li Nuo's dead fish eyes.

The truth about vampires, viruses, and even the loss of his skills began with this hair.
