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

Texas understood and knew that stopping him was useless; the only thing that could make Mike want to go to the North was a change in the Outer Rings.

"This land has no demands of you."

“I know, so I’m just going to take a look instead of fighting them. After all, there are some things only I can do. That’s just the kind of person I am, you know?”

Texas opened his mouth, wanting to say he didn't understand, but when he thought about how he had been like this for a long time, the words stuck in his throat.

The dejected Lupo even had its pointed animal ears drooping to the sides.

We had only known each other for a short time before we had to part ways.

The two men stood in front of the repair shop counter, neither of them speaking again.

Unbeknownst to them, their hands were clasped tightly together, their fingers intertwined.

Just then, Exia slowly parked the modified sports car on the side of the road and turned to look at the repair shop.

From her perspective, she couldn't see the two people's hands hidden under the counter.

"Mr. Mike, I never expected your modified sports car to have such a significant performance improvement. It must have cost quite a bit, right?"

The man stood still and shouted, "Try manual mode again, and the modification fee will not be increased."

"Really? Great!"

Overjoyed at finding her new toy, Exusiai started the sports car again and tried the manual mode that Mike had mentioned.

In an instant, she realized that she needed more time to get used to the speed of the sports car.

Texas felt a pang of guilt as she quietly sent Optimist away; she had actually held hands with this man in front of Exusiai.

Not only that, she even wanted to try something more exciting.

However, Mike interrupted at a crucial moment.

"Texas, we can't do this. Exusiai is nearby. It would be bad if she found out."

At that moment, concerns for safety outweighed any desire for thrills, and Texas couldn't bring herself to harm Exusiai.

"Remember to be careful, remember to come back soon, remember..."

She didn't say anything more; her eyes said it all.

Remember, there are still people in Longmen who like you.

Mike remembers, of course he remembers everything.

Texas, it's so good to see you again.

……

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals' free medical outreach program in Lungmen has finally come to an end.

The chief physician, Susuluo, was organizing the already categorized files. There were two sets in total, one kept by Luo De and the other given to Longmen First Hospital, which was involved in the collaboration.

The intense work over this period has caused Volper to lose a lot of weight, making her delicate face even more charming.

Despite this, Sussuro did not relax or slack off, because Dr. Kal'tsit was even more exhausted than them. Not only did she participate in work during the day, but she also worked overtime until she was nowhere to be seen at night. She was hardly seen returning to the staff dormitory during the entire event.

Dr. Kal'tsit has worked so hard.

At this moment, the lynx sitting in the office had several letters, or rather, replies, in front of him.

Every letter she sent received a response; no one refused.

"Phantom".

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a black figure emerged from the shadows.

36. Hoshiguma cares deeply for Chen Huijie.

He was a tall, thin young man, and it would be difficult to spot him unless he made a public appearance.

The idea of ​​hiding in the shadows stems from ancient memories of assassination, which were buried in history and unknown to outsiders after the fall of Gaul.

He wore a black bowler hat, a sharp black suit, and a red tie, looking like a leading man straight out of a play.

Kal'tsit didn't turn around. She knew Phantom was standing there. She said softly, "The Doctor wants to go to the north. It's not a peaceful place. Recently, similar demon invasions have occurred in various countries of Terra. You will go with him. No matter what, you must ensure his safety."

The tall, muscular man said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, I've observed the doctor up close. With his current strength, he probably doesn't need my protection. On the contrary, if he encounters danger, he might need to protect me."

Phantom's words silenced Kal'tsit. She did want to find some bodyguards for that man, but there were very few people in this land whose strength could surpass his. Phantom was not lying.

“Alright, Lucien, to be honest, I’m not forcing you. If you encounter trouble or get into danger, you can leave first.”

As soon as Kal'tsit finished speaking, Phantom, also known as Lucien, spoke in a deep voice: "Doctor, that's not what I meant. I meant that if we encounter a problem that even the Doctor finds difficult to solve, I personally think that unless a regional deity intervenes, it will be very difficult to resolve."

"Then you don't need to worry. Although the situation in the North is complicated, it's not to the point of collapse. The Doctor is going to Sami, not through Ursus."

Lucien had one more thing to say: the chaos within the borders of Ursus was far more troublesome than the chaos in the far north.

This country is more xenophobic and cold-blooded than I imagined.

"This is your letter. I've already written it for you. Find an opportunity to give it to the Doctor, and then follow him until he returns from the North to the center of Terra."

"as you wish."

Phantom didn't reach out. Kal'tsit tossed the letter out, and it floated gently in the air, landing in the man's palm like a paper airplane. Then, he rolled up his cloak, turned into a wisp of black mist, and disappeared without a trace.

At this point, Kal'tsit had four letters left, each from a different place, meaning that Mike's companions on his journey would not be able to contact him in Lungmen, but would meet him on his way to the North.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit couldn't help but laugh; fulfilling his wish was really troublesome.

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals can stay in Lungmen for a maximum of two more days.

It is estimated that Mike's departure time will be within two or three days.

……

Lungmen City Guard Bureau.

Hoshiguma looked at the reports handed to him by his subordinates with a headache.

Starting yesterday, a black sports car drove through the bustling city center. If it were just a sports car, it wouldn't be so troublesome. However, the roar of the modified engine was like thunder in the clouds during a thunderstorm.

Not only that, its appearance is also quite exaggerated, with a streamlined body and an extended rear wing. Although it will not cause a traffic accident if touched, it does violate the traffic laws of Lungmen.

After a series of investigations, the license plate of the black sports car was identified as belonging to Exusiai, a member of Penguin Logistics.

"Oh dear, Remuel, you've really given me a tough problem."

Hoshiguma sighed and decided to enforce the law impartially. Lungmen has its own rules that cannot be overstepped. Even if it were Lady Fumizuki in front of her, she would not hesitate to issue a ticket.

Actually, the trouble didn't stop there. Hoshiguma also remembered something else: Exia's sports car was originally black, and its appearance wasn't this eye-catching.

The problem is that it had been modified not long ago, and the owner of the modification shop is Mike Ann, who made many Lungmen people witness two bursts of intense light.

Mike's other identity is that of a former Rhode Island pharmaceutical company doctor, but he currently does not hold any position at Rhode Island.

Even if you're going to indulge your little angel's crazy antics, there should be a limit.

Hoshiguma decided to have a serious talk with Mike, not only to warn him to behave himself, but also to see if the man was secretly causing trouble in Lungmen.

Hoshiguma never doubted the doctor's abilities, but sometimes those abilities weren't used for practical purposes.

As she was thinking, someone knocked on the office door. Hoshiguma looked up and saw Swire standing there.

Since they had dinner at Lao Li's house, their relationship has improved considerably, and Swire is no longer as gloomy as before. It is believed that after learning the details of the Longmen Outer Ring incident, she will still be able to continue working diligently.

Hoshiguma had no doubt about this.

However, due to the keen observation of police officers, she also noticed that Swire was in a very good mood recently, with her eyebrows raised when she spoke, which was an extremely happy sign.

What good thing has happened recently?

The thing that could make Swire so happy is probably not something like winning the lottery.

The odds of winning the Super Lotto in Longmen are predictably low. Over 99% of the citizens buy tickets just to participate. Even if they do win the Super Lotto, the small amount of money won't make Swire very happy.

Hoshiguma secretly pondered the situation and gradually guessed a possibility.

Has Swire already seen through Mike's true identity?

Not only is it possible, it's very likely.

Shi Huaiya didn't say anything, and Hoshiguma didn't dare to ask either.

"No overtime today. Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so I'm treating everyone to a meal at Yiheju Restaurant. I'm also treating that Lin Yuxia guy."

Hoshiguma asked in surprise, "Will Miss Lin be having dinner with us?"

Swire nodded: "Of course she will. I'm using the pretext of a social event between the Guard Bureau and the Business Federation. She'll definitely come."

It turned out to be the case.

Xiongxiong nodded, but before she could think about it, she heard Swire say, "So the task of entertaining the guests tonight is assigned to you. I have other important matters to attend to and can't get away."

Important matter?

What important matter is it?

With her keen senses, Hoshiguma immediately noticed that Swire had deliberately sent her and Lin Yuxia away.

"It's a personal matter of mine, so please don't ask any further questions. That's all."

Swire wasn't there to discuss things with Hoshiguma, but to inform her. After saying that, she turned and left.

Hoshiguma also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Oh no, we need to notify Miss Lin immediately.

In theory, Hoshiguma and Swire are on the same side, but that's just in theory. Hoshiguma informed Lin Yuxia for another reason: she had to help Chen Huijie.

She silently reminded herself of this idea, reinforcing it repeatedly, and then took out her phone to dial Lin Yuxia's number.

It is not too late.

37. Repairing cars requires a lot of physical exertion.

"Miss Lin."

"You don't need to say anything, I know everything."

Hoshiguma was taken aback. What? She hadn't even explained what happened yet. How did Lin Yuxia know?
