My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 128, 127, Instant kill. A glorious achievement, up up!

escape--!

The thought exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt. Before he could even think, his body had already moved, shooting out of the shadow of the clock tower like an arrow.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The instant he took to the air, Gu Yuan's figure vanished from the spot, leaving only a fading afterimage.

Five seconds.

In just five seconds, Gu Yuan's large hand, with irresistible force, precisely gripped the other person's head and slammed him hard into the ground!

Boom!

A dull thud echoed in the air, and the paving stones shattered, sending fragments and dust flying everywhere.

As the dust settled, a pair of dark, trembling beast ears were revealed.

—They are orcs.

"Damn it!!"

Despite struggling, Gu Yuan remained unmoved. He noticed a twisted scar on the other man's shoulder, its shape peculiar, and felt a strange sense of familiarity about it.

He pressed one knee down on the orc's back, rendering him completely immobile, while his other hand took out a scroll from his pocket and quickly unfurled it. His gaze swept back and forth between the two before finally settling on a single point.

"Hmm, Alfie Avery, a level 3 adventurer from the Alecto Familia, the 'Evil Wolf'?"

"It does look familiar."

Gu Yuan read the information on the scroll aloud in a low voice, tightening his grip slightly. "Good luck. You caught a valuable fish as soon as you stepped out the door. Are you the strongest in this area?"

According to information obtained from the goddess Astrea, the Alectual Familia is one of the most extreme dark factions in Orario, taking pleasure in torture and spreading fear.

Its core strength consists of two Iv.5 captains, and its overall strength is comparable to that of the Loki Familia, one of the top Familias in the city.

"asshole"

Alfie squeezed out broken syllables through clenched teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief.

He couldn't understand why, as a level 3 adventurer, he was being suppressed like a novice, completely powerless to fight back.

boom!

Gu Yuan grabbed his head and slammed it heavily against the ground again, interrupting his cursing:

"Wrong answer. Oh well, whether it's true or not, you're finished."

After quickly sensing his surroundings and confirming that there was no more unusual killing intent or spying, he grabbed Alfie by the neck as if he were picking up a piece of cargo and stood up, heading back the way he came.

Take them back for interrogation first, extract all the information, and then dispose of them.

Gu Yuan needs such "strong" individuals to serve as experience packs.

In this world, eradicating evil is itself a recognized "great achievement".

Meanwhile, at the other end of the street, Alexandra was protecting the still-shaken civilians, counting their numbers to make sure no one was injured.

She was still shocked by Gu Yuan's incredible burst of speed.

The fleeting afterimage, the gravity-defying stomp on the vertical wall—its fluidity and violent beauty almost made her hallucinate.

Just as her thoughts were churning, a steady sound of footsteps came from between the buildings.

Alexie instinctively turned her head and saw Gu Yuan carrying a struggling humanoid figure, striding back as if returning from a hunt.

The astonishing efficiency made her subconsciously open her mouth wide, her almond-shaped eyes filled with disbelief.

What terrifying efficiency!

Did he not even confirm his opponent's level and ability before overwhelming him and winning?

Alexie took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and then saw the prisoner's distorted yet familiar face.

"Evil...—Evil Wolf Alfie?" she whispered in disbelief.

This is a notorious member of a dark faction in the area. The Astrea Familia has fought against him several times, but has failed to capture him due to his cunning and slipperiness.

Now, this troublesome enemy is being held in Gu Yuan's hands like a chick.

With fate gripped by the scruff of his neck, Alfie struggled to lift his head.

Seeing Alexandra's signature long red hair, a fierce venom flashed in his eyes, and he hissed:

"Ha, the Astrea Familia—you who claim to be the absolute righteous ones, you've actually started asking for help from these dubious outsiders?"

"—. Wordy."

Gu Yuan impatiently tightened his grip on his neck, turning any subsequent foul language into meaningless gurgling sounds.

He turned to Alyssa and got straight to the point:

"Is there any medicine or magic that can make him tell the truth? I need the exact location of their hideout and their personnel, the more detailed the better."

Taking on a group of high-level adventurers alone might be too early, but if you can find their stronghold, it will undoubtedly be an excellent "monster-farming spot".

"Truth-telling medicine?" Alicia paused for a moment, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. "Well, the guild or the Ganesha Familia definitely has that, but we Astrea Familia don't usually prepare such things."

Their sense of justice leans towards fair and square confrontations and sanctions.

The work of interrogating for information has always been handled by the Ganesha clan, who are responsible for urban security.

Gu Yuan frowned upon hearing this, but given the nature of the clans, he couldn't say anything and could only leave it for future changes.

After thinking it over, Gu Yuan realized that the other party was only an Iv.3 and probably had limited knowledge, so he lost patience to continue messing around.

He tightened his grip on Alfie's neck with a sharp "crack," and Alfie's struggles stopped instantly, his eyes losing all light.

"Pack up quickly, time is of the essence, there are probably other guys like him in other places."

Alexie's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just watched in silence.

Gu Yuan casually tossed the body to the ground and looked at Alixie:

"By the way, how are you going to cover this up? There are quite a few witnesses."

He glanced at the civilians hiding behind Alexandra.

Alexie quickly composed herself, and a determined look returned to her face.

She walked up to the group of survivors, a comforting smile on her face, and whispered a few words to them.

Soon, the fear on the faces of the common people was replaced by gratitude and trust. They nodded and looked at Gu Yuan with great respect.

They then helped each other up and quickly left the messy alley, heading towards the nearest shelter.

After they had completely disappeared from sight, Gu Yuan finally asked, "What did you say to them?"

"It's nothing," Alicia turned around, her tone more relaxed, "just to tell them that you are a special supporter sent by the Ganesha Familia to assist us in carrying out a secret mission."

"The Ganesha Familia are known as the 'urban military police,' and everyone trusts them."

"As for the Ganesha Familia, I will personally go and explain to their leader later. They will understand if it is for the sake of justice."

She walked to Alfie's body, bent down, and hoisted it onto her shoulder:

"As for this, let the guild handle it."

"They usually carry a lot of bounties on their shoulders, which is an extra reward for doing justice, and they can't waste it."

The justice that Alexandra believed in lay in protecting the people without seeking anything in return.

But she felt no guilt about the spoils she obtained from eliminating evil.

"Oh, right!"

She looked at Gu Yuan as if she had suddenly remembered something important, and said, "You also need to report your identity to the guild as soon as possible."

"Although the Astrea Familia has some privileges regarding the confidentiality of its members' information, your strength will likely attract widespread attention soon."

"Having official guild records can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

indeed.

Gu Yuan looked up at the towering white tower in the distance—the Tower of Babel, the entrance to the underground city.

If I remember correctly, guild permission is essential to enter the dungeon to grind monsters, so I nodded slightly: "Understood."

"Let's go." Alexie carried the corpse, her tone lightening again. "First to the guild, then we'll go to the next place where there might be trouble."

"Today is still a long way off."

The midday sun was intense and dazzling, gradually lengthening the shadows of the two people as they left the once quiet alley, one after the other.

Soon after, the Ganesha Familia's security forces quickly arrived at the scene, and the bodies of the LV2 adventurers killed by Gu Yuan quickly disappeared during their handling.

Only the cracks on the ground and a few dark bloodstains told of the brief and intense nature of the conflict.
