Qian Zhi was silent for a moment, then shook her head gently. "I told you, I'm not a burden... Lu Li, keep going. We'll act together."

 Lu Li was a little surprised when he saw her shaking her head to reject his proposal and dragging him forward.

 Chizhi killed an enemy for the first time, so she must be feeling very upset right now? How did she recover so quickly?

 You know, when he had to kill the enemy for the first time on a mission, he felt extremely complicated afterwards and was depressed for several days.

 As if noticing Lu Li's concerned look, Qian Zhi was silent for a moment and then spoke softly.

 "When I saw that you might die due to negligence, I felt an unprecedented panic and anger. That's why I killed that person immediately. It was almost... out of instinct..."

 Qian Zhi clenched Lu Li's hand at this moment, looked forward with a firm gaze, and spoke.

 "Killing someone, even an enemy, is very hard for me... But he wanted to harm something I hold dear, so he must pay the price..."

 "I... don't want to see you hurt... So, even though I feel resistance in my heart, I am still willing and determined to stand in front of you and protect you..."

 Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then his eyes softened a lot, "Qian Zhi..."

 "Don't look at me in such a disgusting way... Besides, you've actually said this before, so this time, I'm just expressing my attitude!"

 Seeing the gentle look in Lu Li's eyes, Qian Zhi, who felt a little embarrassed by the stare, hummed softly.

 Hearing this, Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then began to think.

 After a while, he widened his eyes slightly.

 It was... that time...

 That, during Chiori's impoverished days...

 ————"Why don't you leave? I have no money, the investment I just raised has gone down the drain in an instant, my clothes are torn, my creativity is not recognized, why are you still here with me? I am a loser, I have nothing...! Go away, I want to be alone——"

 "no!"

 "you..."

 "We are friends, so when you are most sad, I will always be with you, waiting for you to recover and stand up again. I will help you with money and connections... Qianzhi, stand up! Even if the entire Fontaine does not agree with you now, even if fate is on your side, I will always be by your side to support you and never leave you!"

 "You...idiot..."

 ——Lu Li's mouth curled up slightly at this moment. So it was something that happened back then...

 Looking at Qianzhi, he whispered: "Now that you mention it, I remember... That memory is indeed very deep, but I don't remember it very clearly afterwards. Were you crying and hugging me, or were you angry and stepping on me..."

 "It's the latter."

 Qianzhi blushed and snorted, "Okay, are you going to leave or not?!"

 "Hey, so you were stepping on me... Wait, here I come, go, go!"

 Chapter 52: The Evil Eye is released! The element of instant annihilation bursts out!

 By activating the secret compartment in the fitting room, Lu Li and Qian Zhi successfully reached the lower area of ​​the underground factory, which was the work area recorded in the intelligence.

 The moment the door opened, they immediately saw two

 A security agency is on patrol.

 Before they turned around, Qianzhi and Lu Li quickly approached and used the elemental power to directly shatter the core that drove their actions. In just a moment, they knocked the two mechanical bionic dogs to the ground.

 The limbs are driven by a core that can use compensatory energy, and once this core is destroyed, the gear mechanism will become scrap metal.

 But to achieve this, it would be difficult unless one is a battle-hardened person or someone who masters elemental power.

 "This place stinks... Is his factory's drainage so poor?"

 Qianzhi frowned as she looked at the passage ahead. Below was a ditch made of smelly water. Someone like her would naturally not choose to jump in and wade through the water.

 Looking at Lu Li, the latter nodded slightly at this moment and said softly: "Don't be nervous, this is what I expected. In fact, there is another passage. Come with me. We don't have to jump into the water to walk through it."

 As he spoke, Lu Li led Qian Zhi forward. After turning a few corners, a passage suddenly appeared in front of them.

 Naturally, there are several security agencies here.

 But this time, if you want to sneak in and defeat them without anyone noticing, it seems a little impossible, because their eyes are looking directly forward.

 When Qianzhi was thinking about whether she could leap into the air and then launch a falling attack to defeat them in no time, she saw Lu Li actually walked out at this moment.

 The security agency was almost instantly alarmed, but as Lu Li lightly swung his knife——

 Three blood-colored phantoms suddenly passed through the air, and then in just a blink of an eye, Lu Li's body completed the position change of the phantoms.

 Behind him, three guard agencies continued to emit yellow lightning, and then collapsed to the ground.

 "Could it be that your method of infiltration is to knock down everyone?"

 Qianzhi, who came out from the corner, felt a little helpless and spoke softly at this moment.

 "There's no other way. If I hadn't done that, there would have been no chance of breaking through the tight security here," Lu Li shrugged and said softly, "Many debt collectors before me have been seriously injured here due to carelessness. If we think of taking a detour or even a shortcut, it will only lead to unnecessary risks and will also alert us and lead to us being surrounded."

 "So, directly destroying the core is the best way."

 Qianzhi seemed to be thinking about something. "That's right. Okay, then shall we continue walking?"

 "Well, follow me closely. If I remember correctly, according to the intelligence records, there should be many security agencies here."

 After activating the mechanism to open the door in front of them, Lu Li took Qianzhi inside and headed deeper into the factory.

 But unexpectedly, we did not encounter any security agencies on the rest of the journey.

 Until we reached the deepest part of the factory, where the clothes were finally produced.

 The journey was smooth, but not only Lu Li, but even Qian Zhi, who was traveling with him, felt that something was wrong.

 However, after noticing some signs of the security agencies suddenly leaving, Lu Li finally understood what the other party was planning.

 Did they discover through surveillance that someone had broken in, and that he was powerful enough to easily destroy the security agency, so they were preparing to gather their forces and have a decisive battle?

 It's a very sensible approach, so just confront it head-on.

 Tell Chizhi not to worry about it, and according to her wishes, give her a camera to start taking pictures as evidence.

 Lu Li and Qian Zhi finally arrived at the core area of ​​the factory.

 There, a man with blond hair and a ponytail, wearing a suit and a gloomy face, was surrounded by dozens of security guards.

 It was Usher, the owner of this factory.

 His attention was not focused on Lu Li. After all, Lu Li was wearing casual clothes. He had no idea that he was actually the debt handler of the Fatui.

 His eyes now were fixed on Qianzhi.

 "Oh, I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you would continue to endure it. You're here at this time, neither during Fontaine Fashion Week nor during the Thousand Spirits Festival..."

 Usher spoke slowly: "But you don't think I'm unprepared, do you, Qianzhi?"

 "You are quite capable of attracting a powerful holder of the Eye of God, but in the face of the absolute power of science, all efforts are in vain!"

 Qianzhi folded her arms across her chest in silence and said calmly, "I don't want to waste my time on you, Usher. You've been hiring those rubbish reporters from the tabloids to constantly disparage and defame me. But the truth is, there's nothing wrong with my clothes, and yet the quality of the clothes you produce is extremely substandard. Now, the photos captured by the camera will be enough to leave you speechless during your trial."

 "Those photographic evidence? Hahahaha, you didn't really think you could walk out alive surrounded by so many security agencies, did you?"

 Usher laughed wildly, then drew his musket, locked the muzzle on Qianzhi and said so.

 "I think you should consider another issue." Seeing this, Lu Li shook his head calmly and said calmly, "That is your own safety."

 "You should ask yourself why you took out a loan from the Northland Bank and then thought that with these security agencies you could rest easy and feel that you would never be liquidated."

 Usher's face suddenly turned gloomy at this moment.

 Wait a minute, could it be that this man isn't a helper, but rather the Fatui's debt collector?!

 But how could Qianzhi and Yu

 It has nothing to do with the crowd, there is no relevant information in his investigation!

 "Secondly, why do you think I will just sit back and watch as you continue to injure and repel other debt collectors, insulting the reputation of Northland Bank?"

 Lu Li drew out the double blades from his waist, and the evil eye of fire element hanging on his waist began to show its edge.

 "Last and most important."

 "You bastard who has been slandering my Chizhi all this time, you don't think you can leave safely just by standing here now, do you?"

 "boom!"

 Almost as soon as Lu Li finished speaking, Usher, who felt goosebumps all over his body, quickly fired the musket in his hand.

 "Kill him, ahhhhhhh!"

 "clang--"

 The next second, the fired bullet was instantly split apart by Lu Li's knife. Looking at the swarming security forces, Lu Li sneered.

 After the power of the evil eye erupted, Lu Li felt the increase of this power for the first time due to his unprecedented dynamic vision and muscle dimensions.

 The two swords danced, and the flames that burst out blew away all the bullets in front of them. Then, in the blink of an eye, a fraction of a second—

 Elemental Burst·Jun Yan·Instant Prison Shadow Killing Array!

 Countless flaming phantoms swooped out with sharp blades, filling the space within a radius of twenty meters with endless flaming blade shadows.

 Just like a dazzling firework suddenly bursting out in front of her, Qianzhi's eyes just flashed with surprise, but she quickly realized that it was time to join the battle and fight together. Her eyes suddenly widened -

 At this moment, more than 20 security agencies have all become human-shaped scrap metal that can no longer move.

 "Boom boom boom——"

 The sounds of people falling to the ground and then exploding occurred one after another.

 At the same time, Lu Li, who had completed the instant kill, also stopped releasing the evil eye.

 It was only a short three seconds, but the toll on the body was indeed astonishing.

 However, it is still within an acceptable range.

 This power is truly amazing...

 But at this moment, after noticing that Usher actually wanted to escape, he snorted coldly and threw a flying knife at this moment, which instantly pierced through the calf of Usher who was terrified and wanted to escape.

 "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

 Amidst his screams, Lu Li walked slowly towards the black-hearted capitalist who was lying on the ground wailing with a cold expression.

 Then, he lifted him up by his collar.

 "I...I was wrong. I won't do it again. I will return the money to you now...Please, please..."

 Looking at Usher, whose calf was pierced by a flying blade and whose face was now a mixture of snot, saliva, and tears due to the severe pain and fear, Lu Li said softly: "No... You don't know you are wrong, you just know that you are going to die."

 Usher's eyes widened, and the next moment, Lu Li suddenly grabbed his head and slammed it hard on the cold floor!

 "Boom-"

 Qianzhi withdrew her gaze at this moment, shook her head slightly, and looked quietly at the mess on the ground.

 Lu Li wasn't that strong before...

 Instantly dismantling over twenty guard systems into scrap metal... In her opinion, only Clorinde could pull off such feats...

 But now it seems that Lu Li... I have to say, he is really an amazing guy...

 Chapter 53: Chiori, who wants to spend the night together, and Linnet are taking action

 Lu Li did not kill Usher completely, but left him a chance to survive.

 It was not out of pity or sympathy, but because the Northland Bank would send someone to accept him as a creditor later. At that time, they would punish this guy who did not repay the debt and caused them so much trouble.

 What awaits him is only being drained dry and living a life worse than death.

 After leaving behind Usher, who was tied up tightly and fainted from the pain, Lu Li looked at Qian Zhi beside him with some curiosity, and asked softly at this moment: "Now that the matter is resolved, do you have anything else to deal with later?"

 "No, I'm going back to rest. Then, you should need these evidences, right?"

 While wiping the blood off Lu Li's collar with a handkerchief, Qian Zhi handed him the camera that had taken a lot of photos as evidence.

 "Those people have already set off after receiving the signal. All the security agencies have been eliminated. They will be responsible for handling the follow-up. In other words, they should also make a more complete copy of the evidence and use it to make this guy face reality."

 Lu Li shrugged, then gently grasped Qianzhi's hand. "So, just keep it. Don't rush to refuse. My opinion is that you can contact reporters with these photos. For example, I know a conscientious reporter named Charlotte. If she can publish these evidence in the Steambird News, I think Qianzhi's reputation will be much better than before. That way, other people who are unaware of the situation will realize that Qianzhi's house was actually deliberately smeared by its peers in the industry!"

 Qianzhi shook her head. "It might work, but those tabloid reporters are actually not wrong. I have different patience for different customers. So, it's not the first or second time that I've driven some customers away. So, publishing these photos in the newspaper might be helpful, but it won't be very effective."

 Lu Li seemed to be thinking about something.

 "Don't worry about it. At least business is actually very good right now. Moreover, whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, at least now everyone in Fontaine knows that the clothing produced by Qianzhiwu is the best in the industry. That's enough."
