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

A black flying knife collided with the defensive knife in mid-air, splashing a lot of sparks! Without hesitation, Linley rushed forward and dragged Frost Star behind him: "Was it you who was standing on top of that unfinished building just now?"

The defensive sword spun and hit the ground, and a swordsman wearing a black hat and a black raincoat walked out from the shadows in front: "Mr. Dredger, since Rhodes Island is still cooperating with Longmen, I suggest you get out of the way."

“What if I say no?” Linley narrowed his eyes slightly. “And you haven’t answered me yet, was that guy you were before?”

Linley drew out the long sword made of black steel. The sword intent flowed through it like flowing water, as if he was expecting a fight.

059. Sir, times have changed!

"I'm sorry for the offense!" The man in the black hat's movements can only be described as far beyond that of ordinary people. In the previous second he was clearly standing in the shadow with a knife in his hand, and in the next second he had appeared behind Frost Star, with the black long knife aimed at the back of the white rabbit and stabbed straight out.

“Has anyone ever told you not to attack someone else’s protection?” Linley was also very fast. He stretched out one hand and pulled Frost Star behind him, while with the other hand he swung his sword to block the thrust of the bamboo hat.

Damn it, is this girl that heavy? Her face and hands clearly don’t look like she’s fat, right? Linley silently complained in his heart as he stepped forward and started fighting with her in this dirty alley.

In less than ten seconds, the white long sword in the black hat’s hand and the protective sword in Linley’s hand completed no less than dozens of collisions. Each blow was accompanied by extremely bright sparks and pleasant "ding ding ding" sounds.

“Why did you stop me, sir?” The hat was obviously still confused as to why Linley would help an enemy.

“Because compared to Tallulah, this woman can be regarded as the conscience of the Reunion Movement in terms of both her actions and her character.” Linley elbowed the black hat’s mask and immediately jumped back to avoid the opponent’s kick. “With such a person, the Reunion Movement can be regarded as an organization of infected people. If she dies…”

“Then the Reunion Movement will become a complete terrorist organization, and all the infected people in Ursus will suffer.” Linley stood with the knife in his hand, calming his rapid breathing. “Of course, the most important point is that she is very beautiful... I will never allow such a flower to wither like this.”

After all, a gangster once said: "Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again."

“Is that so…” The man in the hat stood there in silence for a long time, but then he drew out his sword again: “But the master of the family has given an order, I’m sorry I can’t obey it!” The gloomy wind that seemed to blow from an unknown corner turned into a gale with flying sand and rocks.

However, the target of this violent fighting method was not the Frost Star behind Lin Lei, but himself! The sword shadows in the sky formed a gorgeous and deadly lotus and attacked Lin Lei. Lin Lei had no time to hesitate. He also swung his long sword and prepared to break this deadly lotus into pieces.

The dark blue light completely covered the long sword, revealing a chilling chill and incomparable sword power. Then the flowing water turned into a phantom dragon and entangled with the lotus!

"Aren't you an archer? Why do you have such a high level of swordsmanship?"

The phantom dragon and the lotus withered together, and the protective sword with many holes in it collided with the white sword again!

"clang!"

“It’s good to have many skills.” Linley adjusted his breathing while staring at the scarred face beneath the torn mask. “Did you cut it yourself or did you get it in the past?”

“Both. From the moment I became a Blackcoat Shadow Guard, my past identity no longer mattered. Also, can I ask where you learned how to use the sword?” Blackcoat kicked Lin Lei to Froststar’s side.

After rolling on the ground twice, this battle-hardened time traveler immediately stood up with a somersault: "My sword? I learned it at the Sword Master's School at Daling Peak. Unfortunately, I didn't become a qualified sword master in the end."

As he spoke, he looked at the long sword in his hand. This defensive sword that belonged to Sir Chen had only half of the blade left, and the rest had been shattered in the previous fight.

"Your knife is broken, do you want to continue?" The shadow guard once again made a strange posture, and the white long knife shone with a deadly luster in the sun.

“I can only say that I am not a person who uses cold weapons.” Lin Lei said as the light energy ignited his body again, and a golden hand cannon appeared in his hand—Golden Gun—Last Words. Lin Lei assumed the most standard single-action rapid-fire posture of a Western shooter:

"Now it's my turn to ask you, do you want to continue?"

“Sir, times have changed.” Although Linley did not say a word, the Shadow Guard could tell from his expression that if it were anyone else, even if it was the group of executors from Lateran, this long-retired guard would have taken action.

But it’s not possible now. This was not the first time he had seen the golden spear that was powerful enough to burn everything. The scene of the two fangs being carried away in one go a year and a half ago was still vivid in his mind.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked and Shuang Xing was about to make a move, gusts of wind and sand surrounded the alley. "Let her leave. If the young master feels that something is wrong, let him come to me."

The old man's voice was full of heroism and a decisive spirit. The shadow guard obviously recognized the person who spoke, "Then I will take my leave first."

Seeing the Shadow Guard leave, Linley did not hesitate to disperse the golden spear and bowed to Fengsha, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding.”

“What a bullshit.” The Rat King cursed. He walked out of the dust storm and raised his cane to poke Linley’s forehead. “How dare you, boy? If I don’t come out, are you really going to shoot me?”

“If the other side is playing dirty, then I naturally don’t mind trying to destroy the corpse and cover up the traces.” Linley shrugged. “So what do you think?”

"Just this once, I have no intention of letting the children's new sister's blood spill in the slums." The Rat King said calmly, "Is her name Froststar?... How is Patriot?"

"Do you know my father?" Shuangxing was stunned for a moment but still responded softly: "The state of oripathy has worsened, and he doesn't know how long he can hold on."

"The last pure-blooded Wendigo, once the most famous captain in Ursus... In our circle, there are probably not many people who don't know him." The Rat King said and prepared to leave, "Ore disease... You might as well take care of yourself, girl."

"No matter how good the Wendigo's physical fitness is, it's not worse than Carters'. If you are really like what this kid said... a rare conscience in the Reunion Movement, then don't let yourself die so easily."

“Thank you for your concern… I’ll try my best, but we’re about to launch an attack on the Guards Bureau, so please evacuate the innocent people in the slums as soon as possible.” Froststar turned to look at Linley, “I just want to know one thing, how is Broken Bone doing?”

“He’s not dead. For Misha’s sake, he’ll be fine.” Linley stroked his chin, as if he was worried about how to return the sword to Chen. “But as the culprit who destroyed the slums and attacked Rhodes Island, he’s probably bound to step on the sewing machine.”

"By the way, your current situation is really dangerous. Would you consider changing jobs?"

"If I can figure out what Tallulah wants to do now and still be alive, I might join you, Rhodes Island~"

060. Please bring this to Sister Misha

“Is this what you mean by giving me back the knife? Are you sure you didn’t just pick it up from some scrapyard?” Chen looked at the scrap metal on the table and then at Lin Lei. “I know this knife is of average quality, but how did you manage to ruin it like this before giving it to someone else?”

“Would you believe me if I told you I was going to participate in the sword-forging competition?” Linley said with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Chen rolled his eyes and said, "You should tell Xingxiong about this nonsense later. It was difficult for me to ask when that woman was here... When did you catch the cadres of the Reunion Movement?"

“Well, just before you took Misha away yesterday, Bonebreaker brought a lot of infected people from the Reunion Movement to snatch her away.” Linley walked directly to Chen’s side and took the hot water from the table and drank it all. “Hot water is still the best. When I walk around that girl, I always feel like I’m back on Europa.”

"Then what? How did you catch such an integration movement cadre? And wait... shouldn't you be with Xingxiong at that time?" Suddenly a feeling of sadness appeared in Chen's heart. You are obviously my subordinate, and I knew you first. Why can a man tear apart the friendship between you and me so easily?

Ahem, no white learning allowed....

Looking at Chen’s changing expression, Linley coughed twice and said, “Yes, but Xingxiong didn’t have any weapons with him at that time, so we knocked out two Reunion soldiers and put on their clothes to sneak in. If we hadn’t taken action at that time, Misha would have been taken away by them.”

“Sister Misha, big brother, have you seen Sister Misha?” The children here naturally didn’t have as many thoughts as Chen did. After hearing the name Misha, they immediately gathered around Lin Lei. “That day, Sister Misha told us to run away quickly and she never showed up again. I wanted to show her the amulet I made!”

As he spoke, the Ursus bear, who was of the same clan as Misha, handed over a small and cute stuffed bear: "Look, this is it. Isn't it cute?"

“Well, it’s very suitable for children like you.” Linley smiled and touched the girl’s head. Behind the girl’s neck was an extremely conspicuous black Originium. “Your sister Misha is currently receiving treatment in our medical facility. Her Originium disease is very serious.”

"Is it serious? Is it the same as the white rabbit sister just now?"

“That’s still better than her. If you want to see her, I can take you there.” Lin Lei said as he looked at Chen who had returned to normal. “You can also let your Sister Long take you there.”

"Eh? Is it okay... But forget it, we are infected and it is not easy for us to enter the city." The joy on the girl's face flashed away, leaving only deep regret, "Since big brother, you can meet Sister Misha, can you please send it to her?"

"Of course, but aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

“Of course I’m not afraid. If you were a bad guy, Sister Long would have arrested you.” The girl handed the amulet to Lin Lei with a smile, and the man put it into the lining of his coat with great solemnity.

“Really?” Linley glanced at Chen, and Chen retorted unhappily:

“What are you looking at? Do you believe me or not, I will take you to the police station right now?” The dragon girl stared at the plastic cup that Lin Lei had just used. Wasn’t this the cup she had just used? And he just drank from it?

However, as the current director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, she naturally would not dwell on such trivial matters: "Xiaoling, if you really miss Misha, I will take you to see her." If Rhodes Island is really like what the little rabbit said, it is not impossible to send these people up. At most, I will pay for the surgery... That would be weird.

For this kind of thing, you must go to the BBQ Cat to get gold coins! If you want to give money to these children, even if it is Shi Huaiya who is usually stingy, Shi Sir will be willing to open his own small treasury.

"A-choo!" Shi Huaiya, who was sitting in the office, sneezed for no reason. She looked at the empty main seat - that was Chen's seat: "I always feel like that little dragon is scolding me again."

"Missy, Lao Chen usually doesn't say bad things about you behind your back."

"That's true. She usually quarrels with me right in front of me." Shi Huaiya held her cheek and looked at Xingxiong boredly: "Xingxiong, is Rhodes Island really a pharmaceutical company? Why do I feel that their armed forces far exceed that of a normal pharmaceutical company? And I checked online and found that there is no drug related to mineral disease produced by Rhodes Island."

“According to Linley, the medicine they made is basically just a test product, and it’s not ready for public sale yet.” Xingxiong shrugged. “And they seemed to be in Ursus a while ago. You know that hellhole.”

"What's wrong, Missy? Is there something going on in your family?" Xingxiong pointed to the top of his head, while Shi Huaiya shook her head:

"My old man never asks us youngsters what he wants to do. I'm just curious about this organization... and you're much closer to Rhodes Island than Chen~" The extremely gossipy Filin pounced on the female ghost and asked softly:

"How good is that man?"

"Uh... can I say I'm satisfied?" It would be better if that bastard could stop being so fickle. The way that cold beauty looked at him during dinner last night almost melted her heart. Xingxiong added silently in his heart.

"Wow~" Shi Huaiya understood instantly, "But he should be here on vacation, right? Why don't you consider taking a leave to accompany him?"

"If I ask for leave, I'm afraid that Lao Chen will deduct my salary for the next two months with some weird reasons." Xingxiong muttered a few words first, then she pinched Shi Huaiya's hand: "Of course it's because I love my colleagues in the Guard Bureau more."

"Hmph, don't give me that. But I feel like something is missing in the police station without Fenchanglong. What did she do?"

That's indeed missing something. No one is arguing anymore, and I don't need to mediate between you. However, Xingxiong still expressed his speculation: "If my guess is correct, Lao Chen should have gone to the slums, but I don't know what he did there."

At this moment, Chen looked at Lin Lei with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Mr. Lin, I said I'm treating you, but can you finish all the dishes you ordered?"

“My full name is Lin Lei-Yo, please call me Lin Lei or just call me Deruijie.” Lin Lei said with a smile while stroking Ansuo’s hair. “We still have a girl who definitely hasn’t had breakfast yet. She will definitely have it.”

061. The Legend of the Thirteen-Winged Archangel (True)

Just as An Suo was enjoying his meal, an acquaintance of Chen came over with a glass of wine in hand: "I have thought of many combinations, but how did you three get together to eat?"

Lin Yuxia looked at Lin Lei and Chen, who was covering his face and pretending not to know him, with a mischievous look on her face. She said with a smile, “A professional criminal, a policeman, and a… should I say a gigolo?”

“The term ‘little white face’ is good. I like it. Let me… toast you a glass, Miss Lin.” Lin Lei raised the Coke in his hand and clinked it with the other person’s. “At least it makes me feel like I’m a good gigolo.”

"Do you really think I'm praising you?" Lin Yuxia sighed, then patted Chen's shoulder, "Move inside, let me rest for a while."

Chen was still stubborn: "Miss Lin, are we that familiar with each other?" Despite this, Chen's body still obediently moved towards the window seat, "Why are you here too?"

"I'm the president of the Longmen Youth Entrepreneurs Association. I just finished a lecture today." Rat Girl pursed her lips and said, "Look, the stall hasn't been cleaned up yet." Then An Suo and the other three turned their heads and saw a huge shopping mall with the name 'Taikoo Plaza' written on it. There were sparse red cloths hanging underneath and a half-dismantled stage.

"You're giving a lecture under the building of Shi Huaiya's family? And you're talking about entrepreneurship?" Chen's mouth twitched, "Are you serious?"

"Then what should we do? Apart from this place, the other locations are too bad. They are either too far inside or too far outside." Lin Yuxia said as she picked up the peanuts from the spicy chicken and threw them into her mouth: "The inland cuisine of this restaurant is pretty good."

“Indeed.” Lin Lei nodded in agreement. The taste of this restaurant was very similar to the Sichuan restaurants he had eaten at before he traveled through time—of course, it was the localized kind. Lin Lei still remembered the days when he went on a business trip to Zigong—well, not only was his mouth spitting fire, his anus was also being ravaged by the chili peppers.

"Eh? Why are you eating too?"

"As a friend who I grew up with, what's wrong with me eating your food? At most I can ask you to come back later." Lin Yuxia said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, I may need your help to register a few stores here later."

"We are the Guard Bureau, not the one responsible for issuing certificates!"

"Those people were all my former subordinates. Although I trust them very much... you know that those who are involved in the underworld might forget their principles when they see benefits." Lin said calmly, "The other few are all infected, so I have to let you help with registration and supervision."

"Is that so? I understand." Chen nodded. "Those guys who used to follow Xingxiong have also retired from the underworld, right?"

"Only those who are close to each other will be like this. The rest either joined other gangs or gave up on themselves. Half of the thugs in the slums now are former gangsters. The rest... you know."

Just as the topic of their conversation gradually turned from casual chatting to business, Amiya took Misha and the Doctor out onto the street, accompanied by another elite operator who was supposed to be in Chernobyl - Scout.

"Mr. Scout, aren't you taking a day off today? Why are you out here to accompany us?" Amiya looked at Scout, who was wearing sunglasses and whistling, with a little self-blame.

“After all, Longmen is not stable right now. Although my guarding ability is not as good as ACE’s, my anti-reconnaissance and reconnaissance abilities are far better than ACE’s even if he adds Huang.” The last master of stealth in Kazdel leisurely looked at the surrounding street scene:

"And it's also a break. I haven't seen such a prosperous city in a long time."

Misha on the side looked at the doctor timidly: "Excuse me...when can I go see Alex?"

"Tonight, the main reason is that he still refuses to cooperate, and Kal'tsit is trying to find a solution." Jane held up her little finger. "But I promise you, your brother will be fine. That's why I brought you out for a walk."

"Take advantage of your good mood and go shopping more. This way you won't lose out."

I don’t know if Kal’tsit will use violence. That little brat seems to be stubborn. Jane thought so and looked at Amiya: “Amiya, do you want to try the candied haws?”

"Is it okay? But Doctor, you don't seem to have much money on you, right?" Amiya's sapphire eyes suddenly lit up.

She is still a child after all. What was Kal'tsit thinking, leaving such a heavy burden to her? "It's okay, Scout, can you lend me some money? I'll ask Lin Lei to pay you back later."

“Hmm? It’s definitely okay to borrow it, but Doctor, why is it Lin Lei who has to pay it back?” Scout looked at the thin hooded man in confusion while taking out his wallet. “That guy owes you money?”

"No, but I helped him solve the problem of not being able to take leave, so he has to repay me anyway." Jane scratched his head and said in an extremely calm tone, "Why not just pay me back directly?"

"Doctor, what did you say to Dr. Kal'tsit?" Amiya was stunned when she heard this. How could her own doctor be so bad-intentioned when he clearly didn't remember anything?

......Rhode Island Station......

The old lynx sneezed for no reason. "Why do I feel like someone is saying bad things about me?" Then she touched her nose and looked at Broken Bones who was still gritting his teeth and refusing to speak. "If it were three years ago, you wouldn't have thought about keeping this skin and muscles."

"Then why don't you do it? This way you can let her see what kind of place the Rhodes Island she trusts is!" Broken Bones snorted coldly, "A two-faced bitch!" Just as our little boy in black stockings finished his words, a machete emerged from the shadows and slapped Broken Bones' face!

"Scavenger, stop. I promised him...I won't resort to lynching unless it's an extreme situation."

"But he is slandering your character." The white-haired Zarak, codenamed the Scavenger, whispered, "If he says something wrong, he should be punished."

"He's just a kid who went astray. There's no need to be so harsh on him." Kal'tsit waved her hand. "What's going on with Amiya and the others? Have they encountered anything unexpected?"

"Hong said she saw Dredger. If it wasn't for your order, Hong would have gone to Dredger to ask him to help comb her hair and take a bath." The scavenger responded with embarrassment. "Also, Dredger seems to be having dinner with Superintendent Chen now. Should I go and remind him?"

"This guy is really popular wherever he goes!" Kal'tsit said calmly, and the ballpoint pen she was holding in her hand had been broken. "Forget it, don't worry about him. That guy won't leave Rhodes Island, but..."

"only?"

"He once told me a story about a thief who had thirteen affairs under his feet. I think he's almost the same!"
