Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

“I hope they can do as well as they say…”

"Yes, Sir!" Xingxiong immediately saluted and walked out. "By the way, Lao Chen, do you want me to ask for you? Is it related to your sister?"

"If it's okay... Also, thank you, Hoshiguma."

"It's okay. This is all for Longmen, right?" Xingxiong smiled and shook his head.

After she went downstairs, she soon found Lin Lei standing at the door of a dining car and waving at her. In his other hand were two meat buns and a bag of hot soy milk. “Here, your breakfast.”

"Where's your harpoon? Why don't you have it with you? There are quite a lot of people in the slums, don't you have anything to protect yourself?"

Seeing this, Linley opened his coat. The hand cannon named Thorn was quietly inserted into the holster. “I brought it, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to carry such a large harpoon. And you didn’t bring Prajna either.”

"Then let's go now. We won't ride that electric scooter today. Let's drive the government car~" Xingxiong turned the car keys in his hand with a smile, "You should have never ridden in Longmen's car, right?"

"Indeed not. There were quite a few explosions a year and a half ago."

“There’s no need to talk about that kind of thing~” Xingxiong patted Lin Lei’s shoulder helplessly, “By the way, did you wear the mask? Your face can’t be recorded. After all, you’re not a member of the Imperial Guard.”

Seeing Linley shook his head, Xingxiong pulled out a skull mask from his pocket and said, “Then use this. Also, give me some meat buns. I’m hungry.”

“How did you get this kind of mask…” After Lin Lei put on the mask, he pulled it down and used it as a scarf. The faint lavender scent was exactly the same as the smell on Xingxiong’s clothes.

This mask is very similar to the one used by the 'Ghost' of Task Force 141 in the past. When Lin Lei was a college student, many people liked this style. Later... he also cooperated with that 'GHOST' for a while, but he was a private and Simon Riley was his commander.

"The Special Inspectorate has to maintain privacy during combat, so I brought this thing with me... I thought it was pretty cool when I bought it."

“A tall guy like you with green hair and a horn, I think it makes no difference whether you have it or not.” Linley complained, “It feels like trying to cover up one’s mistakes.”

"At least it can cover her face, right..." Compared to her wildness when driving a motorcycle or electric donkey, Xingxiong is much more cautious when driving: "Also, let me ask you a question. Lao Chen told me that you went to Chernobyl at that time. Is that true?"

“Really? Besides, I had a fight with that ‘Tallulah’. Well, it can’t be called a fight… it can only be said that it dragged on for a while.” Linley sighed. “Did you see the news about the natural disaster that hit Chernobog a few days ago?”

“In fact, it wasn’t a natural disaster, or rather, it was man-made.” Lin Lei propped up his head and looked at the bustling crowd at Longmen. Whether it was a Victorian-style coffee shop or a more down-to-earth snack bar... I can only say that you have to compare the goods before buying!

Chernobog is far inferior to Longmen in terms of population and appearance. "And it was Tallulah herself who caused that natural disaster. If your Chen Sir has a grudge against her... I suggest that she bring more people or heavy firepower. It is definitely not something that a simple swordsman can solve."

"And if my guess is correct... the red sword in her hand should not have originally belonged to her, right?" He narrowed his eyes and recalled, "After all, the first thing she grasped was the standard long sword of the Imperial Guard Bureau."

"Your observation is really meticulous~" Xingxiong sighed, "Have you ever considered coming to work at the Guards Bureau later? But the relationship between that Tallulah and Lao Chen is not that simple... I'll tell you when I have time later. Now it's time to take a look at the slums during the day!"

034. Anso is cute

The slums in Longmen were not as dirty as Lin Lei had imagined, with everyone living in shabby houses. It would be more accurate to say that the slums in Longmen were more like the old neighborhoods you had seen in the past.

Many heads popped out of these slightly old houses, looking curiously at the black sedan parked at the intersection, but when they saw the extremely eye-catching green hair and the extremely striking horn, many people gasped and shrank back.

Linley naturally noticed these people’s reactions. “The expressions on those guys’ faces when they saw you were quite interesting. What did you do back then?”

"Nothing. I worked with Lao Chen to wipe out more than one wave of gangsters and infected people here." Xingxiong said indifferently, "The reason why they were so scared when they saw me is because those guys are more or less related to gangsters or drug dealers."

"Even though Chief Wei and the 'Rat King' have teamed up to clean up countless times, there are still people who take risks for huge profits." She said while waving at a few young men in the alley, "Those are the ones I used to hang out with..."

“Is he your secret sentry now?” Linley pulled up his mask and followed Xingxiong. “Who are you looking for? The group of unregistered refugees?”

"Besides, they are also patients with Originium disease, which is very dangerous because you don't know how many of them are members of the Integration Movement." Xingxiong said, and saw a white-haired little Ursus loli making something like amulets for other children.

At this moment, a purple-haired Carters girl wearing a tattered cloak bumped into Linley as if she wasn’t looking where she was going. “Ah!” Perhaps because of malnutrition, she fell directly to the ground after bumping into Linley. Her grey pupils immediately flashed with tears, and her pitiful little face shrank in pain.

"I'm sorry, sir...I didn't see the road clearly..."

“If an apology is useful, what’s the point of having the police, little girl~” Linley squatted down with a smile and pulled the girl up: “Or do you plan to wait until I hand you over to the policewoman next to you who looks tough before you return my wallet to me.”

"Wallet? What wallet?" The girl looked dazed, as if she really didn't steal the wallet.

Hey, if you weren’t so cute and pitiful, I would have definitely broken your hands. Lin Lei sighed, threw the healing grenade at the girl, and then mercilessly hit her head, which shattered on her smooth forehead.

"Pain Pain!"

Xingxiong on the side turned around and scolded with a smile: "Why is it you again, Anso...you should return the wallet to him quickly. The pork chop rice in the police station is too salty recently...not very delicious. Are you sure you want to come in?"

“Eh? It’s really you, Officer Xingxiong!” Ansuo was stunned for a moment before decisively taking out his wallet from his trouser pocket and handing it to Lin Lei, “I’m sorry…”

“You’re quite skilled. If you were in better shape, you could compete with those nightingales in stealing skills.” Linley smiled as he opened his wallet and took out five Longmen 100-yuan bills and handed them to the girl. “Here, I’ll give you these as a reward for your acquaintance with Ghost Sister. Is there any more?”

"Ah? This is for me?" An Suo pointed at herself and was a little bit unbelievable. In the past, if she was caught stealing a wallet, she would be lucky if she didn't get beaten up. How could there be a fool who would take the initiative to give her money? Then she seemed to have thought of something and covered her chest with her hands:

"Even if you know Officer Xingxiong, you can't! And I'm an infected person... I'll get sick if I touch anything with an infected person!" Just when the girl wanted to say something, Xingxiong couldn't help but give Ansuo a slap:

"What weird things are you thinking about? Besides, if you take the money, I have some questions for you, little girl."

When Anso saw that he didn't have to sell his body, he immediately put the money into his belt and looked at Xingxiong fearlessly: "Officer Xingxiong, I know everything about the slums!"

“Are you going to ask about the bag that starved itself to death?” Linley stood up and squinted at the white-haired little bear not far away. “I don’t think it’s as good as the Li detective agency I found on the website. They seem to tell you anything for money.”

"They don't know as much about the slums as I do!" Anso snorted in dissatisfaction, "That little bear... came here with the refugees from Chernobog two days ago. She should also be a member of Chernobog."

“Are you familiar with her?” Xingxiong asked softly as he pulled Lin Lei and Anso into the alley, fearing that the noise here would alarm the children over there.

"Not really, but that kid gets along well with the infected kids here." An Suo pouted, "They should have started calling her Sister Misha. I remember that Officer Chen took several months to get these kids to call her Sister Long willingly."

"So what are they doing now? Making amulets?"

"Yeah, to make amulets... If they hadn't made them themselves, I might have taken two and sold them for money..." An Suo muttered, "By the way, Officer Xingxiong, there are more mobs here than before, and many of them are infected... They have been causing trouble around here every night these past few days."

"Is there no action from the underworld?"

"Because they are infected, only a few gangsters came out to stop them, but it seems to be of no use?" The girl tilted her head, and at this time a series of chaotic footsteps came from all over the slums, and a group of thugs in tattered clothes holding Geralt's Happy Fork and baseball bats came out.

However, no matter how they dress or the exposed skin on their bodies, they are not infected: "I want to see how far you infected people can run~"

"Another group of thugs? Do you know them?"

"They...are not the same group of people I saw two nights ago. The group at night looked better than these poor guys in terms of discipline and attire." Anso lowered his voice and said, "Officer Xingxiong, what are you going to do?"

“Of course we have to stop them. What else can we do?” Xingxiong was ready to roll up her sleeves and fight these people, but Lin Lei grabbed her arm and said, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t worry… my colleagues… people from Rhodes Island are coming…” Linley motioned for her to be quiet, “I’ve heard the voice of my leader.”

035. Can I touch your gun?

"Sister Long! Sister Long! Where are you? Help!" The surrounded children started shouting, and the person they were calling was Sir Chen who was not there.

"I advise you to leave immediately." A slightly childish voice came slowly from the other end of the street. When the thugs looked back after hearing the words, a little rabbit wearing a black silk dress jacket and a sweatshirt slowly walked out from the fully armed Vaifan and Wolper.

And this girl was none other than Amiya. After meeting up with Razer (Vaivan) and Franka (Wolper) sent by Black Steel International, she led her men straight to the slums of Lungmen.

She was originally thinking about whether she had to spend the money she had to spend to contact Penguin Logistics, when she saw a group of thugs who looked unserious surrounding children who were not even older than her, and saying, "You infected people..." This ignited the little rabbit's inner anger.

"I'm giving you one last warning, leave quickly." Amiya narrowed her eyes and slowly raised her right hand with the ring on it. The man, the bear and the rabbit hiding in the corner hid in the shadows with only their heads showing.

“Lin Lei, is your boss the one who never shows her face? I think she walks a little unsteadily, is she working too much overtime?”

“That person is our doctor… and also the combat commander of Rhodes Island, but she is not my leader.” Linley curled his lips. “Did you see the little rabbit that was talking just now? That person is my leader. In a sense, my salary is also linked to her. It was she who approved my vacation.”

Xingxiong's eyes widened instantly when she heard that. She looked at Amiya and then at Ansuo: "Her? Why does it feel like this Carters is not even as old as Ansuo?"

When Ansuo heard this, he immediately raised his hand timidly: "I will be an adult in one year, and I don't think that rabbit has reached adulthood yet."

“Well, if you get caught again after you become an adult, you won’t be able to be released in just one month.” Linley glanced at the thief, “Also, stop rummaging around in my pockets.”

"Sorry... I'm used to it..."

“Nothing. I know you’re used to it. When I was dealing with that group of Nightingales before, they often took my money.” Linley sighed as if he couldn’t bear to recall the past. “But Amiya is really young. She seems to be only 14 years old?”

"Then you are not employing child labor?" Xingxiong said in shock, "And you still say that Rhodes Island is not a shady company?"

“Sister, she’s our CEO… It’s hard to say who hired whom.” Linley complained, and at this time, Amiya’s fingertips had begun to gather black and red light: “And she is also a very powerful Originium Warlock… But her physical condition has not been much better than the one behind.”

As he spoke, Linley put on the hood of his coat and pulled out his hand cannon. Xingxiong looked puzzled and asked, “What are you doing?”

"If we let that girl do it... I guess these guys won't have their entire bodies left. If I do it, I'll only break their hands and feet. If you have any questions, you can go and check it out." Then he jumped onto the rooftop nearby while Ansuo was shocked.

"Officer Xingxiong, is your friend so skilled?"

"It's just so-so. Not much has changed since more than a year ago." Xingxiong explained casually, "You haven't seen the guy jumping off the tower of the TV station yet."

...Let's turn our attention back to Amiya...

"Where did this outsider come from? Mind your own business..."

'boom! ''boom! ''boom! ’

Before the thug could finish his words, the already noisy slum was instantly filled with the roar of gunfire, and each gunshot was followed by the wailing of a thug. Linley had no intention of killing anyone this time, and he controlled the poisonous thorn bullets so that their souls and bodies would not be corroded at the same time.

“Ah!” “Ouch~”

"There...there is a sniper! Run!" The remaining thugs who were not attacked scattered like birds and beasts, while those 'companions' who were lying on the ground holding their legs and hands and wailing were left where they were.

“That gunshot was from...Mr. Linley!” Amiya immediately identified the owner of the gunshot. “But why did you attack me before I was ready to cast a spell?” The girl pondered as she walked in front of the children.

"Okay, it's okay....you guys hurry to a safe place."

"Thank you, Sister Rabbit!"

At this time, Franka came over with her snake-shaped sword in hand: "Amiya, that gunshot just now..."

"Don't worry, they are our friends." Amiya shook her head, "Also, I just saw a little girl from Ursus..."

"Infected person?"

"Hmm... and she should be an unregistered one. I saw her running deeper into the slums. We have to find her quickly. The deeper we go into this place, the more mixed people there are and the more dangerous it is." The little rabbit immediately issued an order to Franka:

"Franca, let's gather the Rhodes Island operators searching nearby... We should be more careful before going deeper."

"No problem. Then what should we do with those people lying on the ground? Call the police?"

“That’s not necessary. We should abide by the rules here.” Amiya immediately thought of what Linley had told her in the past. “It won’t be long before the gangsters come and punish these people.”

When the thugs who thought they had escaped heard that Amiya had decided to keep them here, they began to wail: "Please, call the police! I would rather go to jail than be locked up in that place!"

At the same time, Linley also encountered an uninvited guest. This girl with red hair and a halo on her head looked at him unfriendlyly while holding a submachine gun. “Where did you get the gun in your hand, my friend?”

“Anyway, it wasn’t taken from you Sakota.” Linley looked at him subtly. “Why is there an angel in the slums?”

"Because the little rabbit you just protected is our employer. We at Penguin Logistics have always been committed to the concept of punctuality and stability. In addition, you can call me Angel." When he heard that it was not snatched from Sakota, Angel scratched his head immediately, and the serious expression on his face disappeared in an instant:

"Can you let me touch your gun? Don't worry, I won't break it..."

036. Why not use a staff?

“If others hear what you said, it will easily cause misunderstanding, Miss Angel.” Linley sighed. “Besides, aren’t you afraid that I’m lying?”

“Although I don’t have a lie detector, I still have a good idea of whether a person is lying or not, Mr. Dredge~” Angelus pointed out Linley’s identity with a smile, “Although that cold-hearted Rupert is still on the way, she still asked me to say thank you to you.”

“Ah? Rupert, do I know someone like this?” Linley scratched his head. “Oh, I remember it’s the Syracuse girl named Cellinina Texas. Is she also in Penguin Logistics?”

Speaking of which, when Lin Lei heard the name Penguin Logistics on the ship before, his first reaction was: "How can you become stronger if you don't recharge?" and the unspeakable image of the red scarf penguin.

"Yes, but her name is Texas now." The Angel of Exorcism is quite talkative. She hesitated for a moment and handed over her Vector: "How about we look at each other?"

Dagger... This type of gun was also used by Lin Lei in the past. The extremely high rate of fire and relatively low recoil made it quite easy for Lin Lei to deal with those Shadow Company bastards. "Are you free now, Miss Exia?" The other party took out their own guardian guns, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he handed the thorn to the girl.

"Wow! It's so heavy!" The Archangel exclaimed as soon as he took the hand cannon. "Such a heavy gun... I believe your words more and more, Mr. Dredger." The Sakota held up the thorn and aimed at it seriously while explaining:

"There's still a quarter of an hour before Penguin Logistics and Rhodes Island meet up. No rush, no rush... And if they can't even defeat a bunch of scattered infected people, our boss will laugh at Rhodes Island."

“What if we add those guys from the Reunion Movement… Your boss probably agreed to cooperate with Amiya because of this.” Linley skillfully removed the magazine and took out an etched bullet, examining it carefully.

“Is this the Lateran’s unique bullet… and even has a micro-magic unit inserted into it? Why not just make it into a staff?” Linley complained madly in his heart, “And it looks like this red-haired angel is going to be quite troublesome~”

“Here I give it back to you. How about my Guardian Gun? Isn’t it light and beautiful?” The Archangel jumped over to Linley and helped him insert the thorns into the holster. Linley then held Victor in both hands and handed it to the girl.

"It's good, but it's too light for me and the caliber is a little too small."

"Hehe... I'll show off to you later when I have eight guardian guns. Bye, Mr. Dredge~"

At this time, the wailing downstairs attracted Lin Lei’s attention: “Sister Ghost, stop hitting me, stop hitting me~ I’ll tell you everything! I’ll tell you everything!”

‘Click~’

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"I just broke your arm, but you still have your legs to run, right? Or do you want to be taken away by the gangsters like them?" Xingxiong's voice was extremely cold and flat, as if this extremely violent lynching was like slaughtering a pig during the New Year.

Just as Ansuo was about to run away, Lin Lei jumped down and asked, “What is she doing?”

“Officer Xingxiong is interrogating someone… Haven’t you seen this before?” Ansuo hid behind Lin Lei and then held onto his shoulders with both hands and said carefully, “This is the first time I’ve seen Officer Xingxiong use such a violent interrogation method.”

“No matter how gentle she is, she is still a ghost from the East Country. Her instinct to fight can only be suppressed but not erased.” Linley said calmly, “And your Star Sir is also a member of the Special Inspection Team of the Imperial Guard Bureau. They face the most extreme criminals in Longmen.”

“Don’t worry… If you’re just stealing, she probably won’t come looking for you in the future.” Linley pulled down his mask and lit a cigarette. “Did you find out anything useful?”
