Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

……

Mike, far away in the outer ring sewers, seemed to sense it. He looked up into the darkness, and the seed he had planted sprouted.

Throughout countless years, order has fought against chaos, reason against madness, and light against darkness. Those who stand firm on the front lines deserve to be treated well.

"Are you coming out on your own, or should I ask you to come out?"

Mike kicked the back of the wardrobe. If there was a monster hiding inside, standing here would make it collapse.

Unfortunately not.

Monsters can be killed, but dealing with people is quite complicated.

The wardrobe door opened, and a disheveled man crawled out, his small eyes looking around in fear, as if trying to confirm something.

"Can you still stand up?"

Mike shone his flashlight on the man's face, and the man quickly shielded his eyes, asking in a short voice, "Are you from Lungmen?"

He spoke the Lungmen dialect.

Mike didn't answer directly: "I'm not from Lungmen, so what do you think I am?"

"Only the people of Lungmen can find me. Whose side are you on? The Rat King's, or the Guard Bureau's?"

Mike scrutinized the man before him. His short black hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat, and his hands were groping around, searching for something.

Capone.

Syracusan people.

Another noticeable characteristic of his is that he wears glasses.

Mike looked down and, sure enough, found a pair of glasses next to the wardrobe. The problem was that the lenses were broken.

Without his glasses, Capone is practically blind.

Glasses without lenses are just frames.

"Answer me a few questions first."

Capone ignored him, preoccupied with finding something, but the broken glasses were just a few steps away, and he couldn't find his way.

Mike frowned, stepped forward and kicked the Syracuse man to the ground, saying rudely, "Answer my question, or I'll kill you."

"Killing me will do you no good."

Capone was kicked aside by Mike, struggled to sit up, panting heavily, and then stopped struggling.

He looked up, but Mike's flashlight was already there. The bright light forced the Luper to turn his face away, not daring to face the man standing opposite him.

"Go ahead and ask!"

Capone shouted, his hoarse voice echoing through the sewers.

Mike asked sternly, "What has your family done that you're hiding here?"

Capone is hiding here alone, while almost all the family members outside have been corrupted. Even if Mike doesn't come, he won't last long.

"Heh, you know nothing? Or is it that my family members haven't told you? Do they even have a chance to tell you?"

Mike kicked Capone again and said coldly, "To be honest, the sewers on the outer ring are so remote that even if you die here, it will be months before anyone finds you."

Capone was kicked and rolled several times. He slowly stood up by touching the wall with his muddy hands. This time he was much more obedient.

“More than two months ago, my family received a warning from Syracuse that Lungmen was about to be attacked, but the exact time and place were unknown.”

"why are you?"

Capone stood up with a cacophony of laughter and retorted, "With so many powerful forces and so many experts in charge of the Dragon Gate, why are you telling me, this insignificant nobody, what are you trying to say?"

Without waiting for Mike's reply, Capone waved his hands and roared, "Don't ask! I don't know either! When did the great man who saved this land become someone like me who just wants to make a living?!"

Mike remained silent for a long time, until Capone calmed down a bit, at which point his devilishly cold words finally came through.

“Tell me the details you know. I warned you.”

The man took a step forward, and the sound of his footsteps startled Capone, who had been beaten before, and he tried to protect his body with his hands.

He was on the verge of a breakdown, yelling, "Bastard! You won! You won! You devil!"

"I am the devil, and the devil is my mortal enemy. I'll give you two minutes to calm down. After that, answer whatever I ask, understand?"

Capone remained silent, breathing heavily. Even though the air in the sewers was nauseating, it tasted incredibly sweet to someone struggling to survive.

Mike silently counted to ten in his mind and said calmly, "Time's up."

The Rupert man exclaimed in astonishment, "Two minutes? How can that be so fast?"

32. Red Rose Fireworks

Mike responded with his fist.

Capone took another punch, and in pain, he curled up in a ball against the wall, panting heavily.

"Who passed on the intelligence to you?"

"I don't know." (From the novel group 0.0)

As if to prevent Mike from finding a reason to hit him, Capone hurriedly added, "An anonymous letter, postmarked from Syracuse."

Mike said expressionlessly, "You believe it?"

“Similar things have happened before, so I have to believe it.”

"how long ago?"

Five years ago, in 1097.

He and Gambino arrived at Lungmen that year.

What happened that year?

“Someone sent me an anonymous letter saying that I must come to Longmen to settle down, otherwise my family will be wiped out.”

Mike frowned: "You believed that too?"

Capone paused for a moment, then asked in return, "Syracuse was already on the verge of chaos at that time, and everyone was living in fear. If you were in that situation, would you dare not believe it?"

"Where is the letter saying that Lungmen has been attacked?"

"I'm scared if it's burned."

That's the truth. If Capone wasn't afraid, he wouldn't have hidden alone in the sewers.

But Mike had a new question in his mind.

Where is the safest place in Longmen?

sewer?

No.

The safest place in this mobile city is the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

Not only are there many elite police superintendents, but there are also strong individuals like Hoshiguma. When necessary, top-notch expert Wei Yanwu will also step in.

If he were Capone, his first thought would be the Guard Bureau. At the very least, he would hide near the main entrance so that he could rush in if there was danger. Would he be afraid that the superintendent wouldn't protect him?

However, Capone not only didn't go, he didn't even consider going to Lungmen city.

This guy still had something to say.

Why don't you go to the Guard Bureau?

"can not go."

Capone replied earnestly, "Because the Guard Bureau is also within the enemy's attack range."

That makes it easier to explain.

Mike began, "One last question, who was the attacker?"

"do not know."

Standard answer.

It's not surprising that Capone knew nothing when asked; his level was too low, and the person passing on the information probably didn't want to reveal more.

"There was only one sentence written at the end of the letter, and I remembered it."

"what?"

"When the mountain collapsed, the whole tree heard his dying sigh, and then the enemy outside the door began to probe."

silence.

There is only silence.

Apart from the sound of breathing, the sewers were completely silent.

Capone was about to say something more when a heavy fist slammed into his temple.

The Luper collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely unconscious.

"If the mountains don't collapse, I won't be free, but if the mountains collapse, will I really be free?"

"I know they are enemies outside the door. What's the use of telling me? What else can I do?"

"I've already beaten Poseidon to a pulp, why would I care about you defeated underlings?"

Mike abandoned Capone, strode out of the sewers, and looked back at Lungmen City.

The Royal Guard Bureau is also under threat.

But don't worry, as long as Swire is with the Guard Bureau, that area is safe.

For the first time in over two months, Mike felt that everything was terrible.

……

Outer ring road of Longmen.

Lin Yuxia held the piece of paper with moss handprints in her hand, and one handprint after another guided her and Lao Li forward.

Old Carp was no ordinary person; he could tell at a glance that he had been tricked into boarding a pirate ship, the kind that would head straight for a vertical waterfall.
