Zhao Lei: "Fuck you, don't be so proud!"
“This is my capital.”
"Fund your mother!"
"You use a lot of swear words. Your friend's swear words are better than yours."
"Stupid woman! What are you talking about? Do you understand Brother Ping, or do I understand Brother Ping?!"
"..."
The two of them were bickering with each other in a nonsensical manner, which was inexplicably funny.
Unconsciously, Ling Mengxue found that she had been excluded, so who is the protagonist?
Forget it, it’s more important to do the real work!
"Miss, you actually have something to ask us, right? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hide it." Ling Mengxue no longer pretended to be cool and asked directly.
The girl was a little surprised, but she still blushed a little when being stared at like that. She quickly straightened her attitude and coughed lightly, "Yes, that's right, it's just as you said."
Zhao Lei beside him was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Damn it! You stupid woman, you have so many trivial things to worry about. If you have something to say, just say it quickly, don't go too far!"
“Shut up.” The girl couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Without even looking at Zhao Lei, she took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I need you to agree to my request first, otherwise I can’t return the person to you.”
When Zhao Lei heard this, he suddenly became nervous and looked at Ling Mengxue, the person in charge of this operation.
Should I agree or not?
What if the other party’s demands are excessive or even dangerous? Wouldn’t that be unfair?
"Is this why you came to our world?"
"Uh." The exposed girl was stunned for a second, then immediately returned to normal and spread her hands: "Okay, it seems to be like this."
What do you mean by "seemingly"? Ling Mengxue was a little speechless.
But at the same time, she also felt a little curious about the girl in front of her. Could it be that people in another world also have the ability to travel through time?
This... isn't right? ?
The girl lowered her head slightly, and her tone suddenly calmed down: "I will only ask once, I hope you can consider it carefully, otherwise even if you have the ability to kill me, you will never see your friends again."
"Hmm? That's an excessive request. I agree to your request, but this is only my personal opinion. I won't drag Zhao Lei into the adventure together." Ling Mengxue thought for a while and came to her own conclusion.
"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? We are brothers. You must take me with you when it comes to Zhao Ping's affairs!" Zhao Lei couldn't bear it anymore.
"Thank you, I'm sorry, I really don't have any other choice."
Suddenly, the girl raised her head. During the brief silence, her eyes were red. "They are coming. On the day of 'The Last Night', the 'Door of the End' will reopen and everyone will die. We can't survive. I'm sorry for offending you before. The purpose is to test your strength. This guy is very strong. A very powerful 'Awakener' who called herself the Queen of Thorns came to the castle before. She used the same magic. I wanted to ask her for help, but she didn't even think of paying attention to me. She took advantage of this unstable space and went to the 'City of Miracles' soon."
"They? The City of Miracles? Wait... that's a lot of information. Can you be more detailed?" Ling Mengxue touched her head and seemed to hear a familiar word.
Why is it so weird?
"You stupid woman, why are you crying again all of a sudden? Can't you sit down and talk about it?" Zhao Lei curled his lips, looking very disdainful.
"Hahaha~!! You guys are real brothers! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
"pat-"
A figure suddenly jumped down from the ceiling of the second floor. The figure was shaking, legs were bent, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Zhao Ping turned on the chandelier calmly, and waved to the two with a smile on his face, "How are you? Did you miss me?"
"Snapped--!!"
Zhao Lei quickly recovered from his shock. He walked up to him angrily and slapped him in the face, "You missed your sister? Brother Feng and I care about you so much, but you just stand there and watch the show? This is intolerable!"
Zhao Ping did not dodge, but raised his hand to take the slap. However, Zhao Lei was obviously really angry, and this time he did not hold back, using all his strength.
At the moment of contact, Zhao Ping felt that his arm bones were almost broken, but he didn't care too much. He smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, but I have decided to help Shu Jie and the others. I have seen that world..."
"What world?" Zhao Lei clapped his hands, his tone unhappy and he was still angry.
"The city of miracles, a synonym for mystery, coldness, cruelty, and blood..."
Zhao Ping suddenly calmed down, his expression somewhat numb. "Although I have only seen a dark corner of that world, after seeing Shu Jie and her family, I feel that I simply cannot sit back and watch. When I have never seen those scenes, a world filled with death and darkness is like the twilight of the gods... So I decided that I want to help them! Maybe there is not much I can do, but I just want to do my best!"
"..."
"..."
"Zhao Ping, you..." Chen Shujie was stunned, and suddenly felt a little touched. Somehow, she couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhao Ping's sincere face and his bold words. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Big fool~"
"Ms. Chen, the term 'big fool' is not popular in today's society. It's not elegant at all and it sounds bad." Zhao Ping pouted and laughed at her without any hesitation: "It should be called ~ 'big smart'!"
"So smart? Does this mean you are praising someone for being smart?"
"..."
"Well... I'm sorry to interrupt your friendly communication, but Zhao Ping, isn't it time for you to talk to us about business?" Ling Mengxue smiled and didn't interrupt him too much. She was just helpless. She sat down on the sofa beside her, used the ingredients available, and started to make tea.
Zhao Ping, you are indeed the protagonist of the hot-blooded comic!
"Brother Feng, aren't you going to say anything to him? He's obviously gone too far, I can't stand it anymore." Zhao Lei suddenly said.
After listening to Zhao Ping's explanation, Zhao Lei did not continue to be angry, but was still a little surprised and angry.
Even Zhao Ping was stunned when he heard this, his expression slightly dazed: "Ling Feng... that... I..."
"Hey~ please don't look at me like that."
Ling Mengxue sighed and poured tea leaves slowly, "We are friends, brothers who have grown up together, but to be honest... I look down on you, I despise you for playing with the lives of friends... But I don't hate you, and I can't hate you..."
Zhao Ping suddenly trembled all over, his expression became dull for a moment, and then he became stiff.
Ling Mengxue didn't seem to notice anything. She took a tissue to wipe the water stains on her hands and directly brought the tea to make. Her smile was shallow and warm, as if it carried the warmth of sunshine.
"Do what you think is right, and then accept that it doesn't work as you wish~"
"Can you do that?"

This paragraph is quite long, without any breaks, and it has been extended by two or three hundred words, so it should be OK...

Chapter 59: The City of Miracles
Perhaps because the topic was not very good, the few of them spent more than half an hour in such a subtle atmosphere. Fortunately, all the communication went smoothly.
At the same time, Ling Mengxue and Zhao Lei also learned about the mysterious miraculous city for the first time.
The two listened with great interest. If one only looked at the surface, there was no dispute and it could be considered a magical world full of "magical colors".
It is a vast modern metropolis, accounting for 70% of the world's total area. On the edge of the world, there are countless small rural areas, towns, and tribes, and few rivers and mountains.
In that place, there was only deathly silence and more deathly silence, the wailing of thorn birds, the weeping of thorns, and an abyss littered with corpses. Only in the dark corners were there still warmth and fire from the world.
According to Chen Shujie's description, there are dozens of different races, big and small, living in the "City of Miracles", and there is varying degrees of hostility between different races.
Humans, elves, angels, werewolves, vampires, half-humans, trolls, goblins, dragons, ogres, Zerg, devourers, feathered serpents, orcs, etc.
Among them, humans are only ranked seventh in the world of miracles, ranking last after the seven major races such as angels and beastmen. They are sandwiched in the middle, with wolves in front and tigers behind. Not only do they have to fight with other races, but they also have to guard against potential threats in the dark. If it were not for their good relationship with the elves, the world's race ranking would be even lower.
Even among humans, Chen Shujie and her family lived on the edge of the world, surrounded by crises. With her level as a third-order awakener, she was already one of the top three masters in their village, but just thinking about survival was enough to make them feel suffocated.
Just by listening to the description of the atmosphere, Ling Mengxue could vaguely imagine the scene, which was so depressing.
It is definitely a world full of "knives".
Zhao Ping was also there to help explain, his words filled with passion.
But after a while, Zhao Lei also expressed indignantly that he would definitely help!
"Hey~ stupid woman, you just want to survive that 'End of Darkness Night', right? Don't worry, your brother's business is my business. I'll help you, Grandpa Zhao!"
"Uh, thank you very much, but could you please call me differently?" Chen Shujie bit her teeth, tightly grasped the corner of her clothes with one hand, veins popped out on her forehead, and tried hard not to get angry.
Zhao Lei smiled and touched his head, then turned his face away and pretended not to hear.
For doing such a dangerous thing, it’s not too much to charge some interest first, right?
"Do we need to set off immediately and make some preparations in advance?" Ling Mengxue asked.
"Thank you, there are still a few days left. If it really comes to that, we won't be able to escape. The world...there is no place for us at all." Chen Shujie shook her head with a wry smile. When she said the latter part, the hope in her eyes suddenly dimmed a little.
"Don't worry about me if you have anything else to say. I'll let you know when the time comes. During this time, I can also leave here with you. The space where the castle is located is not very stable. I came to this world with the help of my innate magic."
It was three o'clock in the morning, the night was quiet and the dark night seemed like an endless stream of thick ink, heavily smeared on the sky. The suburbs outside the city were infinitely quiet, with few insects chirping.
After leaving the castle, Ling Mengxue immediately contacted the people from the Special Management Department to come and deal with the aftermath.
As for the situation here, I can only report to Ji Chen in more detail.
Of course, she would not elaborate on the matter of 'Chen Shujie'. As for the subsequent explanation and the things that would be involved, she had already thought about it in advance. She started the follow-up investigation under the pretext of exploring and discovering a "new secret realm".
After leaving the house, Zhao Ping found that his motorcycle was still there. He was so happy that he jumped on it immediately. He patted the back seat and turned back to say, "Shujie, get on. I'll take you for a ride and stay in a hotel. You don't have any money, right? I can lend you some."
Zhao Lei took a closer look and was stunned. He walked up to him cursing, "Fuck, Brother Ping, you are so mean. With this car, the first person you thought of was a girl? Are you still a brother?"
"Hehe, at worst we can all sit together." Zhao Ping grinned and didn't care. However, when he saw Ling Mengxue, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, a little guilty, or perhaps a little regretful. "Um, Ling Feng... Thank you... I know if it weren't for you, we would probably all die..."
"I'm glad to know." Ling Mengxue smiled faintly and rejected it bluntly.
After hearing this, Zhao Ping felt warmed up at heart, but he couldn't help blushing and feeling embarrassed. A girl is here, so give her some face!
Chen Shujie also noticed that Ling Mengxue seemed to be the main force among the three of them. The conversation just now was almost entirely dominated by this young man. Although she didn't have a good impression of Ling Mengxue at the beginning, after talking for a while, she found that the other person didn't seem to care about those external things at all. The previous impression seemed to be fake.
"We use silver coins in our world. I wonder if they can be used here?" Chen Shujie thought for a moment and took out a few coins from his pocket.
Ling Mengxue only took a glance and recognized it almost instantly, "Soul Coin?"
"Ah?" Chen Shujie was puzzled.
However, when they saw the coins in her hand, Zhao Lei and Zhao Ping's eyes lit up almost at the same time.
"Shujie, this is a great stuff! Take this thing to the special department to exchange it now. The exchange rate of 1 soul coin is equivalent to 1 Chinese yuan. It is estimated that one soul coin can be sold for several thousand on the black market, which is enough for you to use for a while!" Zhao Ping was very happy.
He had only heard about it from Zhao Lei, but he didn't expect that this thing was also circulating in the City of Miracles. This wave of huge profits is not a loss, and he might even make a fortune!
And I guess I can be promoted to a regular agent this time when I go back, so there is no shortage of redemption channels~
Chen Shujie was also a little surprised. Although she didn't quite understand it, she felt it was pretty good.
Soon, a private car drove up on the road. Ling Mengxue noticed the people in the car and smiled slightly, "Then... Zhao Ping, I'll leave the person to you first. Zhao Lei and I will take the car back. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, we can still rest for three or four days. I can take Shujie to stay in a private hotel. No ID card is required." Zhao Ping patted his chest and smiled proudly. "There is also a class reunion. I heard that Lin Xiu and his friends are doing well now. I will call you then. I heard that they all have super powers. If there is a chance, hehe~~"
"Brother Ping, you don't want to drag them down... No, you want to get them to join you, right?" Zhao Lei felt a chill in his heart. Isn't this... too evil?
"Hey, that's nothing. There are some things you don't know. Those guys have something in common with your brother Feng. It's not unfair that they suffered a loss." Zhao Ping's face was full of evil.
Seeing him like this, Chen Shujie suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously took a step back. She really didn't know if there would be any problems if she followed this guy.

Chapter 60: Sleeping till dark!
"Eh? Sister Ling, have you resolved everything? I didn't expect it to be so fast. You are worthy of me~"
"Sister Yanying, I thought you were out of town on a business trip."
When they reached the intersection, Ling Mengxue and Zhao Lei got into the car that came to pick them up. It was said to be the aftermath of the incident, but in fact, everything that needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, so they were just going through the motions.
The seats in the front were already full, which was just right. Ling Mengxue also preferred to sit in the back of the car because it was quieter and more spacious.
Yan Ying was wearing a light yellow round-neck thin sweater and dark wide-leg pants. Her woolly curly hair was pressed down against her fair cheeks. Her hands were on the steering wheel. Her loose posture added a bit of charm in the quiet night.
"Sister Yanying, why do you call him Sister Ling? Isn't he a boy?" Xia Lu, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
She actually had a bad impression of Ling Mengxue, sometimes good and sometimes bad. "It was this Agent Ling who, as soon as he arrived at the association, used his status as a big boss to hinder her from making great contributions. This is simply too much!"
You are awesome! You are aloof! So you are amazing? ?
Yan Ying looked at Ling Mengxue in the back seat through the rearview mirror, with a gentle smile on her face: "You have to ask me in person, I dare not tell you."
"Sister Yanying, are you teasing me?" Ling Mengxue twitched her lips, trying her best to remain calm.
Xia Lu snorted lightly, looked out the window and pretended not to care.
