Swordsman Returns from Another World

Dubin also noticed that a mother and daughter from Fengti, who were pushing a cart and selling things, were hiding under the awning of a nearby film noodle stall, laughing and waving their hands to the film shop owner.

The slums of Longmen were more lively and humane than any other place Dubin had seen.

She walked slowly under the rain curtain, through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and opened the note in her hand.

There is a list and an address on it.

"Dobin, go to this address and find a man named Lao Li, and ask him to help recruit the people on the list I gave you. These people are from Longmen, and some of them are infected... I need their strength."

"They need us too, Doberman. We must hurry."

Baiyou's pen strokes were sharp, as if to infuse emotion into them. Just by looking at the words, Du Bin could feel Baiyou's urgency.

And care.

It was as if if we arrived a step later, the people on this list would die.

She quickened her pace.

………………

"Laoli, it's time to go home." Huaihu, who was covered in fur like a little tiger, lay on the sofa in the office and yawned: "It's already late at night, no one will come!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..." The old carp with ears like fish fins sat in the boss chair, flipping through the half-wet evening paper in his hand with boredom.

"I have a feeling that a distinguished guest will come tonight."

As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, the door of the Li Office was suddenly pushed open.

The damp and cold wind from the rainy night poured into the house. Lao Li shivered involuntarily, and the newspaper in his hand rustled.

Huaihu became interested. He half sat up, poked his head out from behind the sofa and looked at the door, his tail wagging curiously.

"Who is Lao Li?"

Lao Li laughed and said, "Look, that's what I said."

He threw the newspaper aside, stood up and said, "I am who I am. Please come in, Huaihu, go, go and make some tea!"

"Oh." Huaihu jumped up from the sofa and hopped to make tea.

Dubin took off his raincoat and said, "I want to discuss some business with you."

Lao Li saw the Rhode Island logo on Doberman's uniform and clapped his hands. "Ha, then please take a seat. You came all the way here in the rain to see me. It must be something very important."

"…It is indeed important, but based on the intelligence, I have to ask you a question first." Doberman did not rush to sit down, but took out a note.

"Lao Li, you are a good person. You couldn't save everyone in the past, but you still tried your best to be good to the world."

"Are you such a person?" asked Doberman.

Lao Li paused, laughed, and said nonchalantly: "Good people don't live long, but if you want to find a good person, and you must do business with a good person, then I am definitely one of you, right?"

Dubin smiled: "It seems to be you."

She walked to the sofa and sat down, handing the paper in her hand to Lao Li.

Lao Li took the note and sat down. After just a few glances, he frowned: "These people...what do you want them for?"

"Treat, train, change... and then prevent tragedy from happening." Doberman looked at Lao Li seriously.

"...I don't understand such general words. These are people from Longmen. Even if they are in the slums, they are still children from Longmen." Lao Li's eyes were slightly serious, staring at Du Bin curiously: "I occasionally invite these guys to dinner. If you want to do something bad, I won't agree."

Doberman raised his hand and stroked the brim of his hat.

Indeed, the doctor was very good at judging people. The man in front of him, named Lao Li, although he looked sloppy and unserious, was a good person deep down.

"Rhodes Island will save these children. In Rhodes Island, they can get better treatment and a better life. They don't have to struggle to survive in the slums, and they don't have to worry about how to fill their stomachs tomorrow."

"This is a recruitment document, the kind that can sign a contract." Du Bin took out another document from his shoulder bag: "And the Li Detective Agency is also one of our cooperation targets."

"...What does Rhodes Island want to do?" Lao Li picked up the contract, glanced at it, and confirmed that the contract was very sincere: "As far as I know, you are a pharmaceutical company. A pharmaceutical company needs so many infected people, what do you need detectives for?"

"Because we want to save the world." Doberman raised his head confidently.

"Puchi..." Huaihu, who was carrying tea, suddenly laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh!" Lao Li turned his head suddenly.

Huai Hu's ears twitched and he quickly kept silent.

Dubin was not angry, but continued: "Mr. Laoli, you see, anyone who hears this will want to laugh."

"But we really have to do this. You and I both know how fucked up this world is, and how much damage and pain the mineral sickness has brought to people."

"We are just a group of people who don't want to admit defeat. We know the conflict between normal people and the infected. Normal people are hostile to the infected, and the infected also hate ordinary people because of this."

"It's a chain of hatred that goes on and on forever, but now it's different."

"Rhode Island must cut off the chains of hatred. We must step out of the resentment between people because we know who the real enemy is."

"What we need to do is to defeat the mineral disease and heal this land that is caught in a spiral of hatred."

"...Will you join?" Doberman extended his hand.

Lao Li stretched out his hand and shook it with Doberman without hesitation, shaking it violently with a big smile on his face: "Haha!"

"Why not if there's money to be made! Rhodes Island is a multinational corporation! It should be very profitable to cooperate with you!"

"If you don't mind, I'd like to serve as ..."

"You can't say that!" Huai Hu put down the tray and quickly went to cover Lao Li's mouth.

Chapter 46: Drained

[Current points held: 10]

[You have identified the number of strategy targets: 5]

[Operator Name: Kal'tsit]

[Favorability: 20%]

【Characteristics: indifferent, calm, desperate...】

[Possible progress: mouth (kiss), neck (kiss), shame (root), ...]

[Points earned: 3]

After turning the old lynx into Puff Cat, Baiyou's score finally reached 10 points. These 10 points will be the key for him to change the Qiecheng incident.

But now, he still wanted to be more affectionate with Kal'tsit for a while.

The two of them didn't close the curtains last night, and the sunlight from outside came in.

He moved his body and hugged Kal'tsit, but his petite figure made it seem like Kal'tsit was hugging him.

Baiyou kissed Kal'tsit on the face. Kal'tsit frowned slightly in her sleep, and the furry ears on her head twitched.

Slowly pulling away from Kal'tsit's embrace, Baiyou began to put on his clothes. By the time he finished his clothes, Kal'tsit had just woken up.

Kal'tsit squinted at Baiyou with sleepy eyes. Baiyou's short figure stood in front of the window, and the shadow he cast just covered Kal'tsit's head.

Bai You put on his hood and said, "I will find a way to deal with the matter of Qiecheng. You just help Longmen prepare to resist the integration movement."

Kal'tsit's hair was messy from sleeping. She had been extremely busy during her time in Longmen. Not only did she have to discuss cooperation with Longmen, but she also had to handle some important affairs of Rhodes Island remotely.

Although Baiyou's stress has been relieved in the past few days since she returned to the island, the accumulated fatigue in her body still remains.

But now... it's all gone, just like enjoying a rare massage on a holiday with nothing to do, then lighting up the aromatherapy and hugging the warm quilt and slept until dawn.

But in fact, the two of them only slept for five or six hours. Baiyou was too proactive last night, and Kal'tsit suffered a lot in order to deal with him.

But now, apart from the feeling that some parts of my body were swollen, numb and itchy due to the passage of time, the fatigue that had been like a chronic disease in my body has disappeared completely.

It was indeed as she said last night, the burden had been lifted.

But when one burden is unloaded, it means someone has to take on a new one.

Bai You looked at the street view outside the window and said, "I gave you a massage last night. It looked like it was effective."

Kal'tsit fell into the soft pillow again, her voice muffled by the pillow: "Why do you do this?"

"Because I feel sorry for you, would you believe such words?" Bai You laughed. He pulled up the curtains and the room became dim.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I will discuss the next cooperation with Wei Yanwu this morning. You don't have to worry about it."

"Go to sleep, sleep a little longer, Kal'tsit."

Baiyou sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently stroke Kal'tsit's hair.

He carefully and slowly straightened Kal'tsit's hair. Kal'tsit's breathing gradually became smoother, and she curled up in the quilt like a lazy big cat.

Perhaps for Kal'tsit herself, or for Baiyou who was once a bystander, Kal'tsit is a heavy person who always carries responsibilities and her own mission, so she suppresses her emotions and resists expressing her true feelings.

After all, no matter how hard she tries to treat the world, oripathy will always be with her, and the cycle of history will make her witness new tragedies and destruction, so she chooses to watch it with a cold eye.

However, after entering this world, as an eyewitness, Baiyou undoubtedly hopes to change all this.

Only after confirming that Kal'tsit had fallen asleep again did Baiyou quietly leave the room.

After walking out of the room, Bai You discovered that Amiya had gotten up long ago and was sitting in the living room, looking at something seriously with the terminal in her hand.

Noticing Baiyou walking out of the room, she quickly put down the terminal in her hand.

Then she said with a smile: "Good morning, Doctor."

"Good morning, Amiya. What are you looking at?" Baiyou walked to the sofa and asked curiously.

Amiya's expression was a little stiff, and she smiled awkwardly: "No...it's okay, it's just that Sister Lin Guang sent me some training videos."

Oh, you are looking at the combat records, right? That’s really hard work.

Bai You raised his hand and patted her head, saying lovingly, "There's nothing to do this morning, you can rest for a while, Amiya, I'm going out now to talk to Lao Wei about something."

Amiya raised her hand, held Baiyou's hand, and whispered: "But not yet... not yet..."

She opened her collar and let Baiyou see the faint red mark that had already faded.

Baiyou smiled and leaned over to kiss Amiya's neck until new marks were left.

"Then I'll leave." Baiyou said softly.

"Hmm...Okay, good luck, Doctor." Amiya hummed with satisfaction.

………………

ten minutes later.

Bai You was already sitting in Wei Yanwu's office, fiddling with the antique ornaments on the table out of boredom.

"Sorry for the long wait, Brother Bai." Suddenly, a pair of big hands pushed open the office door, and Wei Yanwu walked in with a smile.

"This thing of yours is quite interesting." Baiyou fiddled with a jade pen holder.

"I didn't realize you had such a taste for it." Wei Yanwu strode to his desk, sat down with confidence, and said, "How was your stay last night? Did you feel comfortable?"

Hearing this, Baiyou put down the jade ornament in his hand and patted his lower back: "It's okay, but my waist hurts a little."

“Huh? Hahahaha…” Wei Yanwu laughed helplessly: “You are so young and you already say your waist hurts, Brother Bai, you really are…”

"You know, Kal'tsit actually has very good physical strength." Baiyou said youyou.

"Besides..." He suddenly squinted at Wei Yanwu, his eyes sharp: "Old Wei, don't you already have middle age..."

Wei Yanwu quickly waved his hands: "Oh, okay, okay, I get it, don't say anything."

"I have already signed the contract with Rhodes Island and sent it to your Rhodes Island ship." Wei Yanwu knocked on the table: "Now, Brother Bai, let's continue talking about what happened last night."

Baiyue nodded.

"Save Tallulah. As long as she comes back, I will promise you anything." Wei Yanwu became serious and said in a deep voice, "And Kosice...what should we do?"

"If you want to go to Chernobog, I can send a few Shadow Guards with you," he continued.

Bai You raised her hand to interrupt him and said seriously, "I want Chi Xiao."

“… Chixiao?” Wei Yanwu thought for a moment and understood: “Ah, Chixiao is made using the fire-forged Originium technique. You want to use that thing to counter Kosice’s Originium spell?”

"Chixiao is the sword of will. It can only be unsheathed when both the mood and the Originium technique are in sync." Wei Yanwu looked at Baiyou: "Your swordsmanship is indeed very good, but you don't seem to know Originium techniques."

This is true.

Baiyou's body cannot use Originium techniques.

"I have my own way. Just lend me Chi Xiao to have a look."
