Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

"Thank you very much. Now that the matter is settled, I will reward you handsomely."

"That's not what Sister Gui said. It's our collective wish to be able to help Sister Gui."

"Okay, find a safe place to hide, and don't show up no matter what happens."

"Ghost sister, please be careful too."

The informant responded and left quickly as Xingxiong requested.

The map they drew was placed on the table.

Xingxiong picked up the map and looked at it twice, frowning.

It's not like she hasn't been to the Outer Ring before, and it's not like she hasn't walked around the Outer Ring before. Although the lines drawn on the map are simple, they do mark some important places, but in her opinion there are some serious problems.

The informant was not a novice, he had worked undercover for the Imperial Guards and had some skills in drawing maps, so he would not make such a low-level mistake as confusing the proportions.

However, the map in Xingxiong's hand was full of errors and omissions. The lines that should be long were not long, and the lines that should be short were not short. There were even varying degrees of missing lines at some intersections. Yet the informant had not yet sensed what was wrong.

"Cognitive impairment, to be precise, has the distortion point begun to affect the nearby outer ring residents?"

Xingxiong thought of this and patted the long sword hanging on his waist.

The blade did not move, which meant that the informant was fine.

“Whether the route is right or not, you will know after you walk it.”

Xingxiong took a stick of gum from the shelf, unwrapped it, took out a piece and put it to his mouth, but in the end he didn't eat it. He wrapped it again in the wrapping paper and stuffed it into his pocket, and put the corresponding change on the cash register.

After leaving the convenience store, Xingxiong held the long knife with one hand, looked around, aimed in one direction, and quickened his pace.

However, about ten meters behind her, several gang members who were following her rubbed their eyes vigorously.

"Strange, did I drink too much tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion next to him asked, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"I think I saw Sister Gui just now. She stood in front of the wall for a long time without moving, then turned around and walked towards the industrial area. What happened?"

"I don't know. If something really happened, why is there no news at all?"

29. An ordinary car repair shop owner

Walking along the Longmen Outer Ring Road at night is a novel experience.

In the past two months, Mike has only walked the streets during the day, because there are more people at that time and gang members are dormant, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

But in the evening, when office workers return to the outer ring from the city and people who have been busy all day start preparing dinner, nocturnal animals come out of their nests and take over the time that belongs to them.

These things are not seen in the urban area. The speed of the police response of the Guard Bureau is faster than expected. Anyone who causes trouble in the urban area is thrown into the cell.

When Mike thought of this, he stretched out his hand and scratched his short gray hair. He had been unlucky recently. Not to mention being constantly observed by the operators, he was also summoned to the Guards Bureau twice. Although both times were misunderstandings, it was too much.

After the outer ring incident was resolved, he vowed to hide his identity and never reveal it.

At the beginning, he took a lot of effort to say the words "I like you", but everyone rejected him. How could he get back with them now?

no way.

"Snow Pheasant is a bit fast. She seems to be enjoying playing the hero game. I didn't expect a girl like her to act like a child."

In just a moment, Mike could no longer find the exact location of the Snow Pheasant and could only sense that she was right in front of him.

With the holy sword in Xuezhi's hand, solving the distortion point should not be a problem, so Mike is not too worried.

His main target was the sewers in the outer ring of Longmen.

No matter how many things happen on the ground, we must first find out the source hidden underground.

What happened in these two months? How did Capone become the source of the distortion point?

As Mike thought about this, he realized that he had overlooked something.

Just two months ago, on the eve of his departure for Rhodes, Texas was summoned back to Syracuse, so that the two made some promises when they hurriedly parted, but unfortunately they were not fulfilled.

Could it be related to what happened in Syracuse?

Mike changed his mind and decided that even if it was the case, it didn't matter. The fact that Texas could come back meant that Syracuse was not a big problem. She also had the Emperor by her side, and the old penguin was no pushover.

As Mike went deeper and deeper into the outer ring of the Dragon Gate, he noticed that there were more and more spies watching nearby.

The gray forest can make the outer ring gangs dare not act rashly, but it cannot stop them from making some small moves behind the scenes. There will always be some guys who are ready to make a move.

Who is Mike? How could he be scared by these guys? He immediately picked up a stick on the roadside and walked away aggressively.

These people who are in the Longmen gang are not stupid, they all have some knowledge.

The outer ring is not peaceful nowadays. It is hard to say that someone who dares to walk on the road in the middle of the night without fear is a powerful figure who cannot be provoked.

After seeing Mike's actions, some of the eyes that were spying on him dispersed, but some of them were not willing to be outdone and continued to follow him.

The distortion points in the front are not very strong, but they are dense and their positions are rather chaotic.

Mike knew that he would not be affected by these things. There were only two reasons that could make him feel uncomfortable and confused.

First, there are too many of them.

Second, the directions overlap.

Not only on the ground, but also underground.

"I've had enough of this red tape, why don't you guys come along and do it together."

Mike clenched the stick in his hand, suddenly increased his speed, and strode forward. Every movement he made would attract those hiding in the dark.

Under the street lights, human shadows overlapped each other, emitting a cold and terrifying atmosphere.

Black smoke emanated from their bodies, and their entire faces were hidden in darkness, so their true appearance could not be seen clearly.

If there was anyone on this land who was not affected by these things and could still cause fatal damage, Mike thought he would be at the top of the list.

The stick went through the neck of one attacker and fired left and right, sending them flying quickly.

Mike's pace was not affected by this. He charged towards the crowd like a bull without hesitation.

The man who was surrounded was not the one who was threatened. On the contrary, the gang members who surrounded him were lifted up more than one meter high by wooden sticks one after another and flew to both sides of the road.

In just a few breaths, Mike broke through the encirclement. Behind him, a group of people fell down, rolling around, covering their injured parts, unable to stand up.

"Do you think I opened a car repair shop in Longmen for fun these past two months?"

Mike threw away the almost broken stick and walked towards a tall and burly Luper man.

With such a strong physique, he is more than capable of holding an important position in the Syracuse family, and all these gang members need is to be able to fight.

A fist as big as a bowl came coming at him. Mike saw it clearly, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, he twisted his feet and dodged to the side.

too slow.

Mike clenched his fist and punched the enemy in the abdomen. The strong and burly man took such a heavy blow, but there was no change on his face. Some unknown liquid spurted out of his mouth. His eyes were dull, with only Mike in front of him in his eyes.

"It's controlled, the distortion is not complete."

Mike dodged the opponent's grab again by moving sideways and kicked his enemy in the crotch again.

The tall man suddenly lost his balance and stepped back.

"When I first came to Longmen, I accidentally crushed the enamel cup into a ball. At that time, I knew that I needed precise control of strength, and repairing the car was a good idea."

He took over the store himself, so no matter what he did, no one would care.

Mike now has precise control over his own strength. If he doesn't expose himself, no one will know how powerful he is now.

"I've had enough fun."

Mike punched the Lupert again, knocked him to the ground, grabbed his collar, and asked loudly: "Tell me, what is 1+1?!"

A gurgling sound came out of Rupert's mouth, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"If you can't say it, don't say it."

He punched the opponent in the face, making it bloody. Lupert's head tilted and he fainted.

Mike shook off the blood on his hands, stood at the entrance of the sewer, turned around and asked, "Anything else? If not, I'm going in."

No one responded to him.

Mike pulled off the chain that locked the entrance to the sewer, and a half-person-high steel plate rolled to the side with a loud bang.

He took out a gas mask from his pocket, put it on his face, and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Dragon Gate Outer Ring.

Xingxiong took out his headphones and put them on. The moment he pressed the switch, he heard a noisy sound coming from inside, as if there was a strong signal interference.

"Report your position," she asked.

After a short wait, unclear and intermittent sounds came from the headphones.

“Ursus Theme Resort.”

30. Red can... No, you can't

A clear address was delivered to Xingxiong.

However, the resort could not be found on the almost obsolete map in her hand.

"I told you there was a problem but you didn't believe me."

Xingxiong sighed, crumpled up the map and stuffed it into his pocket.

If it was a normal outer ring of Longmen, she knew where the Ursus theme resort was. That place was originally a place for Ursus people to enjoy themselves.

One day, a series of tragedies occurred in the resort. Overnight, corpses were everywhere, and there was no one left alive. The resort gradually became deserted.

Back when Longmen was still in the hands of the Ursus people, the Ursus nobles and the privileged class all loved to live and entertain in theme resorts, which was in stark contrast to the Longmen people who lived a rather miserable life.

Afterwards, Ursus had some conflicts with the East Country, which were irreconcilable. The two sides engaged in a fierce conflict. It was at that time that Xingxiong entered Longmen and has been there ever since.

When she was in the gang, she also conducted a detailed investigation of the locations frequented by the Ursus, just in case something went wrong so that she could directly find the enemy's lair.

I didn't expect that an unintentional act many years ago would become a crucial clue now.

Even residents who have lived in Longmen all year round may not be able to find relevant information about the resort.

and so……

"This is a trap, a trap set for me from the beginning."

Xingxiong slowly pulled the hand that was holding the long sword, and a long sword with a transparent blade was held in his hand.

Almost at the same time, a scorching air wave enveloped Xingxiong.

She recalled the conversation she had with the Builder in Rhodes Island.

"Alas, although I don't like Dongguo people, I can still make you two swords. For Lao An's sake, what kind of inscription do you want?"

"What about the tattoo on my back?"

"No, it's too complicated. Doing so will only make the knife scrapped. You should get another one."

"Then engrave my name on the hilt."

Holding the hilt with both hands, the heat rising from the blade turned into a blazing flame.

At the same time, black mist emerged from Xingxiong's pocket.

The figure hidden in the darkness seemed to be asking, when did you see through it?

"I buried Ah Fa with my own hands. How can the dead be resurrected? You sent him to me. Aren't you telling me that there is a trap here?"

Immediately afterwards, Xingxiong pulled out the second knife. This knife was slightly shorter than the previous one, but it was also made by an ancient craftsman from the Yan Kingdom.

When she handed the knife to her companion, she said:

"I have no objection to you using these two swords. I have infused them with fire patterns. You can think of them as the magic of the Yan Nation. They come in pairs, one male and one female. But they are too powerful in your hands. You can usually use only one. If you use both, be sure to pay attention to whether there is anyone nearby who can help you."

The other party's instructions were still echoing in his ears, but Xingxiong didn't care about that. He held a knife in each hand, kicked his legs, and rushed forward.

The black mist dissipated when it came into contact with the two hot knives, but that didn't mean the distortion point disappeared.

Xingxiong waved her arms and swung her two swords. It seemed that her two swords were cutting into the air, but she could clearly feel something retreating.
