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

"Okay, last one, what does that guy look like?"

“That person is shrouded in a cloud of black lightning… Ahhhhhh!” Just as Latorre was about to describe the appearance of that being, several black spears pierced through his body! One of them even shot directly at Lin Lei who was asking the question!

Texas did not hesitate. The moment the spear pierced her body, she jumped to the side to avoid the short spear.

“Bang!” Linley did not hesitate at all, and smashed the short spear into pieces with a single shot of Thorn. But when the two looked at Latorre again, the double-flowered red stick who had been doing evil for half his life had already lost his life.

100. Silly and the Grip of Revival

Looking at the corpse that had nothing on it except for a few bloody holes, Texas and Lin Lei fell silent.

"What's going on?" Texas frowned and asked, "Where did those spears come from?"

“It shot out from his body.” Linley shrugged and took out the Ice Shadow Crystal that was still wrapped in black energy. “You can think of this as an extremely special restriction. It will occur if the recipient wants to reveal the caster’s appearance.”

"You knew this all along?" the girl said softly, "or did you just come up with this guess?"

“I had this guess when I found him. After all, I don’t believe that he could have walked out of a place that was not much different from a slaughterhouse alive without having something planted in his body.” Linley closed Latorre’s eyes as he spoke. “Although I have no sympathy for you in your death, I still hope that you can be reincarnated as a good person.”

"So what should we do next? Should we go and report to the Rat King?"

“That should be the case for you, but for me this commission has just begun.” Linley gently stroked Texas’s extremely smooth hair. “Just tell him about spreading rumors, and leave the rest to me.”

Then, Linley looked at the boxing ring owner who was standing at the doorway, ready to make a move. “Hey, Fatty… You heard what this guy just said, didn’t you? What happens next is not your business. Get rid of the body and forget what this guy said.”

"May I ask who you are?"

“It’s just that simple that we are people who work for the Rat King. Also, here’s a piece of advice: if you have the ability, you should try to stop the spread of these rumors.” Linley said as he swung the sign in his hand and left with Texas.

As the two of them walked up the secret passage, Texas asked again:

"Next, are you going to deal with the monster that uses fear as a weapon by yourself?"

“Yes.” Linley didn’t feel the need to lie about this matter. “Because this is the commission that the old man asked me to do. Since he’s paid, there’s no reason not to do it, right?”

"Is that all?" Texas repeated expressionlessly, his gradient eyes showing some other emotions. "Then you can just play dumb, tell the other person about your experience today, then just walk away."

Seeing this, Linley could only pinch Texas’s tender little face and rub it gently: “Girl, do you really have to make me tell you the truth? Don’t you know that we should leave some space between us so that we can meet again in the future?”

"So do you want to have sex with me here now?" the girl muttered, "But I'm still a virgin. If possible, I hope it's on the bed..."

The future is not this future! You are a girl with a blank expression. Your level of dirty jokes is rare in my life: "How is that possible? And I think your understanding of Yan Guo language is not deep enough."

"I think I understand it pretty well," Texas said with a wink.

“Then you should pinch me!” Linley rubbed the Lupo girl’s head unhappily. “Because there are people in this city, whether it’s Longmen itself or the slums, who I care about. For their sake, I can’t just leave like that.”

"Am I one of the people you mentioned?"

"What do you say?"

While the two were walking up the stairs and talking quietly, an elite operator with a very rough fighting style and a passion for free-falling at an altitude of 300 meters got lost on the streets of Longmen: "Eh? According to the location, shouldn't Dredger be around here?"

"But why hasn't this location moved for half an hour?" The girl named Huang just stood there at the intersection of the slums, as if she had not considered the situation that her mobile phone had no signal underground, and the chainsaw hanging on her shoulder directly cut off the hearts of all the brothers who wanted to chat up her or steal things.

Anyone who can carry such a large chain saw will most likely be able to twist their heads off, but our Huang naturally wouldn't think so much. "But what on earth is in the box that Kal'tsit asked me to bring over? Why is it so cautious?"

The girl picked up the one-meter-long metal box. There was nothing on the smooth surface except for the word "Drej" engraved in Victorian cursive. "But Kal'tsit didn't say that I couldn't look at it, so it should be okay for me to sneak open it and take a look, right?"

Thinking of this, Huang stretched out her claws to the lock of the box, but the moment she opened the box, a chilling cold air surged out as if hundreds of cans of liquid nitrogen exploded!

"Hey, hey, hey! It's so cold, what the hell is this!" Huang immediately wanted to use her Originium skills to perform a cold-hot hedge, but then a helpless voice sounded from behind her:

"I said, do you want to perform an air explosion?"

"But this thing is so cold! What should I do!" Huang screamed and stopped his urge to use the Originium skill. After all, there were residential houses all around. If he did that, not to mention how many people would die, at least the people around him would have no place to live tonight.

“I told you not to move around.” Lin Lei said as he patted Huang’s shoulder. The box that had nearly frozen the girl’s arm into an ice sculpture suddenly lost its power, and the chilling cold air flowed back into the box.

“Ah, thank you. By the way, who are you?” Seeing that his hands had returned to normal, Huang smiled foolishly and looked at Lin Lei who had walked up to him. “You look familiar to me.”

“That box looks familiar, doesn’t it? I’m the owner of this box and your colleague, Deruijie.” Lin Lei sighed and took the box directly from Huang’s hand. When he opened it, the box looked like an ordinary metal box, without any sign of coldness.

"Eh?! Are you Deruijie? Wait a minute, let me check the locator." Huang took out his locator again, "Oh, it's really you. Why did you give this box such a strange protection mechanism?"

"Isn't this to prevent it from being opened by some overly curious people? Don't you think so, Miss Huang?" The man squinted at Filin who was still pretending to be silly and laughing non-stop, "Forget it, it's not a big deal. Are you curious about what's inside?"

"Of course not. Kal'tsit told me before I came out that I must deliver this to you."

"Okay, then just take a look."

Inside the box was a pair of arm armor that wasn't particularly unusual in shape. The red and white shoulder armor and high-density composite fibers made up the whole thing, and it also had a simple and nice name - Grip of Revival.

101. Break all my hands and feet! (Fourth update!)

"Ah? That's it?" Huang lost interest immediately when he saw the appearance of this arm armor. "I thought it was some kind of magical weapon, how come it's just a protective gear?"

“If I remember correctly, if you go out on a mission without putting on some armor, you’ll have to drink milk at the bar later.” Linley glanced at someone, then silently put on the Grip of Renewal. “But with this thing, there shouldn’t be any problem with this commission…”

"Commission? Have you accepted any other commissions?" Huang chose to play dead in response to the fact that someone said. Anyway, as long as she was not caught, it would not count! And sometimes the battle situation was urgent, and the time she spent wearing armor was enough for her to saw several more people to death. "Can I go with you to take a look?"

Huang placed both of her hands on Lin Lei’s shoulders, her pretty face that was full of energy almost touching his face: “Can you take me to see it~”

It can only be said that it is a good thing that Texas has gone back to report the situation to the Rat King. Otherwise, with Miss Rupert's temper, she might pick up the sword and hit this silly big cat, and then teach her what "men and women are different" means.

“Are you really just here to deliver something? Didn’t Kal’tsit assign you some other tasks?” Lin Lei pushed away Huang’s hand on his shoulder and said helplessly, “Besides, unlike you guys, I’m on vacation now~”

"Eh? Is there such a thing as vacation for us elite operators?"

“I’m not an elite operator, and I’m in logistics. If you come to the window where I help you get food in the future, I’ll give you two more spoonfuls of meat.” Lin Lei touched his nose and said calmly.

“Ah? So you’re not an elite operator? But you made such a great contribution in Chernobog before. Both ACE and Scout think you’re amazing!” After learning that Linley was not an elite operator, Huang’s expression suddenly fell:

"I thought I would have another partner to train with~"

Training partner? Are you trying to use me as a punching bag? Lin Lei complained madly in his heart, “So you really have nothing to do?”

"Yes, yes! Kal'tsit just told me not to use Originium skills recklessly and not to swing the chain saw for no reason." Huang blinked immediately, "The main thing is that I'm alone in this place and I don't know anyone. Can you, Dredje..."

“Okay, but you have to listen to me from now on. Don’t run around and don’t use your Originium skills recklessly.” After listening to Huang’s story, Lin Lei naturally understood what Kal’tsit meant. Huang would be his helper from now on. However, Lin Lei really didn’t know what an elite operator who specialized in attacking could do when he couldn’t find anyone. Could he cut open all the houses in the slums?

I was afraid that I would be killed by the Rat King that day, but this girl has a good figure and personality, it's not bad to have her around, it's better than a washboard...

At the same time, Warfarin, who was testing the blood of a blonde Sarkaz girl, sneezed for no apparent reason. “Damn it, is it that heartless bastard Lin Lei who is speaking ill of me again?”

"Ms. Warfarin, what else are you talking about? And are you sneezing because you are sick?"

"No, no, it's just that my nose is a little itchy." Warfarin smiled awkwardly. Facing the girl who looked like a little white flower in front of her, she really couldn't bear to say dirty words in front of her. The other Sarkaz leaning against the door held his sword and asked softly:

"Doctor Warfarin, how is Nightingale doing now?"

"Your physical condition has improved. Also, Shining, try to take Nightingale out to bask in the sun more often. Even if it doesn't help, it can make you feel better." Blood Demon sighed, "It's really heartbreaking, you kid."

"But Dr. Warfarin, you look more like a child than I do~" Nightingale said as she raised her hand to compare her height. Regardless of height or figure, the Blood Demon, who was as strong as a steel plate, was outshined by the sickly amnesiac girl.

Warfarin's face naturally turned black. Damn it, you little girl are not cute at all! "Damn it, if there weren't so many things on the island, I would have gone directly to play with Lin Lei, and I wouldn't have been on duty here." That bastard didn't even bother to call me or anything. I will definitely suck his blood dry when he comes back later!

......

“Drejie, your commission isn’t just to wander around here, is it?” Perhaps because he could only walk and look along the way, Huang yawned in front of Lin Lei. “That’s too boring~ If that’s all, I might as well go back and exercise.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before a fight breaks out.” Linley held onto the Ice Shadow Crystal and looked around again. There was still no sign of the Kingdom being released. In just three hours, he had led Huang through three mafia compounds. “Also, Huang, did you know that the places we just passed by were actually controlled by the mafia?”

"Ah? But I feel like those people on the street are pretty kind."

“That’s because the rules of the underworld are the real rules here, and it’s better to use the underworld to manage the city than to use up a large number of police officers from the Imperial Guard.” Linley explained calmly, “Also, this is where the most Lungmen infected are. Although it sounds strange, this haunted place with all kinds of people may be the best place for the infected and non-infected to live in harmony.”

"What about Longmen City? Is it the same as Ursus?"

“It’s better than over there, and there are no clear laws to restrict the lives of the infected. Most of the problems come from people’s hearts.” As he spoke, Linley stretched out his hand to stop Huang who was about to move forward. “Enough of the small talk! Huang, let me ask you a question. How are your close combat skills?”

"Not as good as ACE, but should be able to beat three to four Scouts. What's wrong? Are we going to fight?" Huang's eyes suddenly lit up. "But if we really want to fight, let me use the saw. I guarantee that with one cut, there will be no problem!"

“That’s hard to say, but you’re really good at running…” Linley squinted his eyes as he spoke, because less than fifty meters away from him, the familiar black air was rising again! And it was even thinner than before. If it weren’t for the trace of the kingdom left on Linley’s hand, he wouldn’t have noticed it!

"Huang, come with me to rescue people." The man said as he ran at full speed. Huang could only follow him closely. "Rescue people? How do we rescue people?"

"Just break their arms and legs!"

"Clam?!"

102. Are your inner guards only capable of sneak attacks? (Fifth update)

Ever since Viper became an imperial guard, he had heard more or less about the hidden power of Longmen from the materials he had read and from the mouths of his predecessors - the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards. Those imperial guards who had served the emperor in the past were now the guards of the Governor of Longmen.

But this was all he knew. No matter how the seniors warned them to be careful and alert when facing these shadow guards, he always believed in one thing that his colleagues who agreed with Kosice's plan also agreed on - the era of these shadow guards had passed. No matter how powerful they were in the past, they were old now!

And now all he has to do is to provoke the war between Ursus and Yan again. This is a complete conspiracy - if he dies in Longmen, then both Ursus and Yan will have an excuse to go to war, and the Third Army that has arrived near Chernobyl will use its numerical advantage to directly annex the isolated Longmen!

If he hadn't died, the rumors spread by him and the gangsters and thugs under his control would have become the fuse for the division of the slums, and the gangsters and residents killed by him and the guards dispatched to maintain law and order would have become evidence of his "Longmen's government must start clearing out all the infected people in the slums!"

So far, the guard has done the same to two gangs and a crowded speakeasy, and now he's about to make a third gang bleed!

"Half life, half death." He placed his right hand on the saber at his waist. "Those who don't spread the message will die, and those who don't take action will die. I'm not interested in seeing your deep brotherly love... or do you want to die in endless fear like him?"

As the inner guard said this, he directly hung the leader of this small gang on the eaves of the courtyard. Just as the gang members raised their butcher knives and prepared to play a real-life battle royale with their brothers, someone knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The rhythmic knocking sound instantly attracted everyone's attention, because since the inner guard entered the compound, the gang members had not heard any sound from outside. In fact, not only these minions, but even the inner guard himself stopped thinking for a moment:

"Who dares to come here and knock on the door? Don't you want to live?"

But he soon realized why someone would approach him when he had released the kingdom: "Is it you..." The images of those shadow guards wearing black hats and holding long swords instantly appeared in his mind.

But the overly young voice made him give up this idea - "Moshimoshi? This is the Longmen office. You forgot to collect the water bill this month. We came to check the water meter!"

"You... go and open the door, maybe you can save your life." Viper turned his head and looked at the 'boss's woman' who was kneeling on the ground and shivering.

"Yes!" The heavily made-up film woman stood up tremblingly, and then walked towards the gate of the compound in full view of everyone.

At the same time, Huang looked at Lin Lei with a puzzled look on his face. “Drejie, isn’t it a bad idea for us to pretend to be someone else and check the water meter? And it looks like no one is here right now.”

“This is a gang’s territory. I just asked the lady selling tofu pudding at the intersection.” Linley scratched his ear. “By the way, do you like salty tofu pudding or sweet tofu pudding?”

"It should be salty, right? Is there any difference?"

“Of course there is a difference. This question is as important as asking someone whether they prefer sweet or salty soy milk.” Lin Lei said with a smile, “But it seems that we have at least one of the same preferences. I’ll treat you to some tofu pudding when we get out.”

"Squeak~" The wooden door slowly opened a crack, and a disheveled-looking film woman poked her head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Her pale face and trembling voice immediately made Huang realize that something was wrong.

“I’ll count to one, and you lie down.” Linley said softly, and the Philin nodded. “One!” The ‘sister-in-law’ didn’t hesitate and immediately lay on the ground, while the man kicked the door open.

"Huang, do you remember what I just told you? Knock all those guys out!"

Lin Lei also spoke with the thorn in his hand! This extremely heavy hand cannon directly spewed out deadly gunfire! Nine bullets flew towards the inner guards in the field as if they had eyes!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The inner guard was indeed the most top-level and deadly warrior in Ursus. He waved the long sword in his hand and directly blocked seven of the bullets. Then he simply turned around and dodged the last two bullets. "What is your relationship with those executors in Lateran with this level of shooting?"

Viper asked with great interest in Ursus, while Linley answered irrelevantly in Ursus: “Your outfit is quite nice. I think it’s much better than what those shadow guards of Longmen are wearing!”

"Whoosh!"

Before the man finished speaking, a black and red spear flew out of the inner guard’s hand and pierced Lin Lei’s heart! “Why did you start before I even finished speaking? Or is this the style of all the Emperor’s inner guards?”

Linley was not without warning for this sudden killing move. An icicle rose from the ground and blocked the flying spear. At the same time, a deceleration field with a chilling feeling was generated with the icicle as the center! The range of this field was quite large, enough to cover most of the courtyard!

Then Lin Lei drew out his residual light and rushed towards the inner guards. His charge seemed to be a signal. The gang members who had been stagnant and motionless once again raised their weapons and started fighting! Huang rushed into the field without hesitation. She threw the large chain saw on her back to the ground and joined the melee with just her fists!

"You want to save these people? These villains?"

“They may deserve to die, but they definitely don’t deserve to be used as pawns by you like this.” Linley’s left hand condensed an ice sickle that directly blocked the second long sword made by the inner guard. “But because they are villains, she doesn’t need to hesitate or show mercy when she attacks them. As long as they don’t die, it’s fine!”

“Tell me your name, warrior!” Viper growled and dodged the dagger and sickle in Linley’s hand. The long sword forged with the power of the northern evil demon transformed into a spear and threw it at Huang in the crowd!

“You inner guards are only capable of sneak attacks!” Lin Lei swung out the sickle in his hand to knock down the spear, and while Lin Lei was free-handed, the inner guards rushed up waving their swords!

"Then die in obscurity in the country of Ursus!"

103. How about you two give it a try?

Although she was almost pierced through by the inner guard's short spear, this did not prevent Huang from being invincible among a group of minions. After all, it was a bit difficult for a mere cold weapon to pierce the girl's well-trained body so easily.
