I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Fuck, I didn't expect to actually meet a guy who is stupid and rich."

"It's a pity that he was taken away by that Padofelice."

"It's okay. If he comes the first time, he will definitely come the second time. If he falls into our hands next time, we will definitely make a fortune from him."

"Haha, that's right. And maybe there won't be a next time. What if he comes out later?"

"You boy."

The two men laughed and cursed at each other, but they didn't notice that the money they had in their pockets was quietly glowing red.

A few minutes later, there was no one left here, only a few banknotes floating on the ground. Then a breeze blew, and the banknotes turned into ashes and dissipated.

Chapter 66 Wild Cats and Domestic Cats

Bai has seen a lot of things like coercion, bribery, murder and arson. He would not bother to care if it didn't happen to him, but since it happened to him, he doesn't mind getting rid of it.

Padfilis walked around with Bai Wanwan for a while, and after turning an alley, the view in front of her suddenly opened up, and then Padfilis stopped.

"Okay, we'll bring you here. Once you exit this road and walk a little further you'll reach the city. Don't come here unless you have something important to do.

I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending to be. Never mind, I'll just assume you're really stupid. Anyway, if you want to come next time, it's best to bring some people with you. After all, not everyone is as kind-hearted as me."

"Since you are so kind-hearted, Padu, could you do me another favor?"

"Huh? Hey, get it clear to you, I've kindly brought you out, and you still want our help?" Padofelice turned her head in disbelief, but was defeated again when she saw Bai's sincere expression.

"You... well, okay, okay, I can help you this time, but let me make it clear, this time it's not free, and if I feel something is wrong, I will leave at any time."

"No problem. I promise you a generous reward, the kind that will allow you to live a stable and worry-free life for the rest of your life."

"You're quite arrogant, but unfortunately we've heard this kind of talk a lot." Padufilis waved her hand, not caring about Bai Xu's reward at all.

She hears things like this every day about how good other people's lives are, but in the end, she doesn't know whether it's good or not, and she never sees any of the people who made the promises.

"Okay, tell me what you want to do."

Anyway, she had nothing to do now, and she didn't mind playing with this guy who looked a little silly, just to relieve the stress she had been under recently.

"I think..." Just as Bai was about to say something, he suddenly felt a surge of energy from afar, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The timing seems a little wrong. It's so much earlier than expected. Could it be because of my intervention?

"What are you thinking about?" Padofelice looked at Bai in confusion. Why did he stop talking in the middle of something?

"Nothing, I just thought of something. I heard there's a nursing home here. Can you take me to see it?"

"Nursing home, where did you hear about it?" Padofelice's face immediately showed vigilance.

"Those two people told me on the way that people here are warm and welcoming, and they love to help others. There's especially a nursing home that often adopts children.

Now, didn’t you say those two weren’t good people? I just wanted to see what was going on in that nursing home.”

"Is that really all there is to it?"

"Otherwise, you don't expect me, who has never been here, to understand what's going on here, do you?"

"That's true. Sigh, those people are really something. They don't have any ability but they still worry about this and that."

Thinking about how Bai almost got cheated, Padofelice didn't doubt Bai's words.

"Okay, I can take you there, but I have to tell you beforehand that you are not allowed to make any other moves. Otherwise, even though I may not look strong, I am quite skilled."

"No problem, I'll just chat with the people inside and won't do anything else."

"Well, although you don't look very smart, I like your obedient appearance. Come on, follow me and I'll take you there."

Looking at Padfils leading the way carefree in front, an inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes.

Is he not smart enough? Then why would Padofelice, who is always known for her caution, be so accommodating to someone she just met for the first time?

Moreover, I don’t know where the boss I mentioned when we first met has gone.

I hope the kitten won’t be too frightened after knowing the truth. But if it were a little more frightened, maybe it would be more interesting?

"Hey, hurry up and catch up."

"coming."

......

Fire moth.

Since the Herrscher of Thunder incident a few months ago, there has been another major mobilization.

The recruits had never experienced such a situation before, so they asked others for advice while preparing.

"Captain, is there another major collapse?"

"Yes, but it's a little better than last time."

“Is the range relatively small?”

"No, it just didn't show up in the city."

Hua suddenly fell silent.

She learned about the situation after the last great collapse. Apart from Changkong City, the birthplace of the Herrscher, and several nearby cities, which were severely affected and almost no one survived, the entire East Asian continent was affected to varying degrees, with countless casualties.

Compared to this, it is a blessing that the great collapse did not occur in the city this time. At least... fewer people died than last time.

"Alright, Hua, there's no time to hesitate. Hurry and get ready. This is the first time for you new recruits to carry out this kind of mission. Be sure to protect yourselves."

Himiko, with red hair, had already put on her own combat uniform. She patted Hua's shoulder and walked out.

Hua was silent for a moment and began to change his clothes.

Within a few minutes, the team was organized, and groups of soldiers armed with live ammunition set off for a border town.

Meanwhile, the soldiers' destination has become a stormy sea.

The strong wind swept across every piece of land mercilessly, shattering all evidence of human existence. Houses, land, decorations, and even humans themselves formed a tornado that swept across the sky and the earth.

There were wails, curses, and prayers for God's protection, all of which continued until a pink light streaked across the sky and hit the tornado. Everyone stared blankly at the figure standing high up with a bow and arrow in hand.

Under the dark sky, even without any lights, the figure still shone brightly in everyone's eyes. Then, without waiting for anyone to react, the figure lightly leaped away.

There was a long silence, and then the sound of praise spread.

......

"Okay, we'll bring you here. The place in front with the group of children is the nursing home. Go over there by yourself. I'll keep an eye on you here."

From a distance, she saw a slightly quaint but relatively clean yard with a few children playing in front of the door. Padufilis took a look from a distance, a hint of envy emerging in her eyes, but her body involuntarily dodged to the side, trying to block the gazes of the children.

As soon as Bai went in, she jumped directly onto the wall, so that she could avoid the children and monitor what Bai was doing in the sanatorium, so that she could react in time if any accidents occurred.

"Are you worried about those kids seeing you? Do you know them?"

"I didn't realize you're so smart now." Padofelice glanced at Bai in surprise, then said with a bit of disappointment: "Yes, I do know them, but I'm a thief and can't meet them openly, otherwise, maybe one of me or those children will be caught and threatened the next day.

I don’t mind being arrested, as I’ve lived like this for years, but they are good kids, and being frightened will probably affect them for the rest of their lives.”

"It seems you are quite kind-hearted."

"Hmph, that's why I said you were lucky to have met me." Padofelice raised her little face. "Alright, alright, hurry over. Finish it quickly. We're still waiting for your reward."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you the reward, but I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with."

Bai turned around and looked at Padofilis carefully.

Padfils felt a little uncomfortable with Bai's gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.

"What kind of help? Let me make it clear first, we won't do anything dangerous!"

"It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous." Bai waved his hand. "Actually, I came here for one thing. I want to find a cat."

"Cat? What does it look like? A pet cat or a wild cat?"

"Yeah, it has brown fur. It's still considered a wild cat, but it'll be a pet cat once you find it."

"Do you want to adopt it?"

"Yes, my family met her by chance and liked her very much, but she ran away accidentally. She hasn't been free to come recently, so she asked me to look for her."

"Is that so? Then your family is all pretty nice people at heart." Padufils breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's no problem. It's good that these children can be adopted. It's just that the brown hair alone makes it difficult to find. Can you tell me where your family encountered it? I can help you find out."

"No need, I've found it."

"I've found it, but I haven't seen you go anywhere else..." Padfilis looked at Bai in surprise. Suddenly, her eyes noticed Bai's half-smile, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Well, could you tell us a little bit about your family's situation? It would be easier to find out."

"Yeah, a very pretty girl with pink hair."

Padufilis's throat moved slightly and her body moved back slightly.

The beautiful girl with pink hair knew it very well. She just stole a badge from the man, but was chased for more than an hour. Fortunately, she asked her cat friend to help lure the man away, otherwise she didn't know what punishment she would receive.

After she returned, she took out the badge and looked at it carefully. She was shocked by what she saw.

She didn't know what it was made of, but the texture told her that it was definitely very valuable. One side had a pattern of a moth flying into a flame, and the other side had a crystal flower. Considering the man's skills, he must be from some organization.

After having this guess, she was so scared that she didn't come out for several days. If the stored food had not been running low, she would not have come out today to borrow something from other places.

It’s over, it’s over. Just now I said that this girl was lucky, isn’t she? It was obvious that the person came to catch her, and she landed on someone else’s face. How could this be bad luck?

They also said they came here to catch a cat with brown hair, but after being here for a while, the only thing they saw that had something brown was her hair!

Shouldn't...

"Well, I don't want any reward or anything. I'll just return the badge to you. Will you let me go?"

"That won't do. I keep my word. I have to pay you, otherwise people will laugh at me." Bai chuckled and approached Padufils.

"Then can we know what the reward you are talking about is specifically? And the cat and the like... it shouldn't be referring to us, right?" Padofelice carefully backed away until her body leaned against the wall.

"Who do you think it refers to?" Bai stopped about one meter away from Padofelice and looked at her playfully.

Padufilis was on the verge of tears. "Can you tell me what the punishment will be if we get caught?"

Bai thought for a moment, then said with bright eyes, "How about three meals a day and a collar?"

"No!" A mournful cry came from the alley, attracting the attention of the children at the entrance of the sanatorium.

Chapter 67: Gaining a Loyal Believer

Staggering towards the nursing home, Padufils's eyes looked hopeless.

It’s not that she didn’t try to escape just now, but she was pushed down as soon as she jumped up, and she didn’t even see what Qingbai did.

Even if Bai turned his back and she used the silent skills she had trained for many years, it still had no effect. She couldn't understand what kind of method that was. No matter how she ran, as long as she got out of range, she would return to Bai's side in an instant.

After trying a few times, she gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

But when she thought of what Bai said, her heart trembled.

She likes cats, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a cat!

Alas, for now I can only take it one step at a time. I hope that since the pink-haired girl likes her, she will skip the collar step.

When they arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, the children had already noticed their arrival and stood together, looking at them warily.

Bai stepped forward and said with a gentle smile, "Hello, is Aponya home? I have something I want to talk to her about."

"What do you want from Dean Aponya? We won't let you in unless you tell us."

The group of children looked at each other, and one of them, who looked older, stood up and responded.

"I want to discuss the matter of the sanatorium with your dean, such as expanding it. Don't you think the current sanatorium is a little small?

It must be very crowded for you to live in such a small place. I plan to expand the sanatorium and install some better equipment. It won't do any harm.

You can also go inside and tell your dean, she should let me in."

Children have poor judgment, so as long as you behave well, it is easy to gain their trust. As for things that they cannot decide on their own, they will naturally seek help from adults.

The only adult they can rely on here is Aponia, after all, the masked man has not come yet.

Sure enough, a few children murmured, and then a younger one ran in.

"Wait here for a moment, we'll go tell the dean."
