Can't I develop my own character?

I have to say that AI AFK is deeply appreciated by players and its efficiency is frighteningly high.

"But what is Casradi doing in the church?"

Ryan was very confused about this.

She came to Berman City specially in advance, there must be a purpose. He remembered that in the game plot, Casradi came to Berman City to win over Mayor Bill, who was a classmate of her mother and they had a very good relationship. Bill's becoming the mayor was thanks to Casradi's mother.

But what Casradi didn't know was that Bill had actually secretly defected to the second prince, and had caused a big wave of trouble in the plot of Berman City. The big boss was the one to be killed in the end of the plot.

He hid it even deeper than Adler, and even now no one knows Bill's situation.

Considering the plot changes, Casradi might have secretly contacted Bill. Ryan pondered for a moment and decided to let Lin Qi take the lead in the plot.

Since it is related to Casradi, then 'Lin Qi' has a reason to stand out openly. The game advantage cannot be lost. Anyway, Ryan himself has no intention of following the plot, so it is better to let 'Lin Qi' go.

On the surface, she is a priestess of the Gate of Janus and a good friend of Casradi.

Secretly, 'Lin Qi' is Ryan.

If you reach the main line, it will be easier to get resources, otherwise the speed of developing yourself will be too slow.

"Don't worry, get your job transfer done first."

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Lin Qi heard the echo again and followed the process. This time, the evil spirit that appeared reached level 10.

After clearing out the evil spirits and successfully obtaining the fragments of the ancient haunted spirit, Ryan set the AI ​​to idle and then exited the game.

...

For the next two days, the entire administrative department was involved in investigating the incident at 228 Heding Street.

During this period, Adler gave Ryan a lot of information about the Dark Hand to use to gain merit, and he took down several secret bases of the Dark Hand. As the investigation progressed, Incident No. 228 became clearer.

On the afternoon of the day that Kasradi arrived in Berman City, at Adler's urging, the Administrative Bureau closed the case of the pagan sacrifice and regarded it as an act of anti-empire mob organized by the "Mafia".

As the name suggests, the Mafia is a gang that has been entrenched in Berman City for a long time and is notorious.

It would be perfectly appropriate to let them take the blame.

Jonathan did not comment on this. According to his and Ryan's careful reasoning, the whole process of No. 228 Heding Street should be that the sacrificial ceremony prepared by the Dark Hand was discovered by Janus, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The third-party force that was previously inferred was most likely the people from Janus' Gate lurking in Berman City.

Because Jonathan got the news from the Fire Covenant that the high priestess Leah Mansdeka personally promoted a nun to become the new priestess. Obviously, the nun with a gun made a great contribution at 228 Heding Street.

Look, it fits perfectly!

As to whether it is true or not, Jonathan still needs to spend more time investigating, but his superiors will not give him so much time, so it is necessary to close the case first.

After the case was closed, because of Ryan's outstanding performance, the General Administration of the Administrative Office intended to promote him to the General Administration, but was rejected by Jonathan. The latter immediately promoted Ryan to the position of deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Department and included him in the list of core personnel in the Dongcheng District of the Administrative Office.

With this identity, it is not easy for the General Administration to transfer people away at will. Of course, it is mainly because Jonathan is so strong. As for how he turned the table with the General Administration, Ryan has no idea.

Anyway, a promotion and a raise in salary are good things for him, so he should not refuse it.

"Let's go, Ryan. Her Royal Highness the Princess will be arriving in Berman City soon. Come with me to greet her."

Inside the police station, Jonathan waved to Ryan and reminded him, "Remember to bring your gun."

Chapter 19 Jonathan: This priestess is so cold

"Hurry, hurry, follow me."

"Everyone, cheer up!"

The Berman City Railway Station is located in the East City District, so the important task of welcoming Princess Casradi fell on the East City Branch. As the director, Jonathan led the team personally. He temporarily handed over the on-site command task to Ryan, and went to arrange the matters of the Fire Covenant.

As the director's right-hand man and deputy captain, Ryan naturally had no one to question the orders he issued.

Some sheriffs who have worked with him for several years are scratching their heads and can't understand why he suddenly became so successful when they were just squatting and chatting together a few days ago.

You're taking off without your brothers, right?

"What are you thinking about? Keep your eyes on me."

Ryan interrupted a colleague's reverie and addressed the lined-up sheriffs, "Time is tight and the mission is critical. Protecting Princess Casradi to Edinburgh will be considered a success. Do you understand?"

"Listen clearly!"

"Well, everyone disperse according to their posts."

Soon, these sheriffs dispersed at the train station. Some were responsible for surveillance, some hid in the crowd to patrol for suspicious persons, and the remaining ten or so people and Ryan waited at the next station for Casradi.

"Do you think Princess Casradi will come?"

"I think it's uncertain. I definitely wouldn't do it, at least not openly."

"Yes, the situation is so tense now."

Several sheriffs talked in low voices.

In fact, many people thought that Casradi would not come to Berman City.

The reason is very simple. As one of the heirs to the throne, although she is a fifth princess and has weak power, Casradi's mother is the queen, and after her death, the old emperor has never appointed a new queen. This favor alone makes other princes wary.

It is possible that the old father was unable to get over the problem for a while, and after seeing his love in his last moments before death, he directly ordered Casradi to become the next emperor.

Otherwise, why would the city of Berman be so strict on public security in such a short period of time?

It would be troublesome if Casradi died here.

Of course, the Administrative Bureau hopes that she will not come. If she does not come, nothing will happen. If something happens when she comes, the whole department will suffer.

Ryan also hoped that the princess would not come, but according to the development of the game plot, the other party would most likely appear, so he called Lin Qi over in advance.

He looked into the distance and saw Lin Qi in a white robe standing alone by the guardrail of the station.

With her long, smooth silver hair draped behind her and her hands folded, she looks quiet and cool. Her unique temperament makes passers-by unable to help but look at her.

"Captain Ryan." A sheriff ran over and whispered, "Should we ask that Janus priest to leave?"

Positions in the Janus Church are divided according to their attire, and the difference between nuns and priests can be seen at a glance. There is a silver moon pattern engraved on the back of Lin Qi's white robe, which is exclusive to priests.

Although it is not ruled out that someone is impersonating, generally speaking no one dares to stand there so openly.

Lin Qi's presence was too conspicuous, and the sheriff was worried that criminals would take advantage of it.

"Don't mind her." Ryan waved his hand. "I'll keep an eye on her."

The sheriff walked away.

After a while, Jonathan came back.

"Why is she here?"

The director was a little puzzled. Why did the people from Janus Gate come to welcome the Imperial Princess?

"Everything is arranged?"

"Yes, Chief, everything is going according to plan. No suspicious individuals have been found so far, except for the priest."

"I'll go talk to her."

Although Jonathan didn't want to get too involved with Janus's people, he always had to find out their intentions at critical moments.

After he left, Ryan decisively opened the game and entered Lin Qi's perspective.

However, he did not take over the operation of 'Lin Qi', because Ryan found that the AI ​​could perfectly show the character's personality when it was idle, which was something Ryan could not do. Otherwise, how could he have established a good relationship with Casradi in such a short time?

So, AI actually knows more about strategy than humans?!

"Tsk~ That guy is so cold."

Jonathan returned. The conversation didn't go smoothly. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, feeling somewhat depressed. "This is the coldest nun I've ever seen... no, it's a priest."

"What's wrong, Chief?" Ryan asked kindly, "That girl won't give me face? How about I take people to chase her away?"

"Don't always think of using brute force. Are the priests of the Janus Gate that easy to deal with?" Jonathan waved his hand. "Forget it. Her presence might be related to the Hand of Darkness. We have people watching her too. Just be careful."

"Fire-Chasing Covenant? Speaking of which, I haven't even met the other ones yet. Director, you didn't just make up a name to trick me, did you?"

"Do I have to lie to you?" Jonathan said unhappily, "I'll bring you to meet the others once you become a regular employee."

The conditions for becoming a regular member of the Fire Covenant are not easy. It requires strict screening and repeated tests. However, Jonathan feels that there will be no problem with Ryan. The only problem may be his adaptability to potions, which is a necessary condition for becoming a superhuman.

If you can't adapt to the power of the potion, you can't become a real investigator.

The reserve investigator is an external staff member who does some auxiliary work.

As he was speaking, there was a commotion near the entrance.

"what happened?"

A sheriff ran over and said, "Chief, it's those people from the Shekou Gang."

"Shekou Gang?"

The gang forces in Dongcheng District.

Jonathan raised his eyebrows: "Get them out!"

"I'll go over and take a look."

Ryan rushed over with a few people.

Soon the whole story became clear.

Because the case of No. 228 Heding Street was closed, the gang forces in Berman City became scapegoats. The relatives and friends of those who were used as sacrifices began to retaliate crazily, and then the Shekou Gang suffered.

Nowadays, there are many industries under the names of gangs.

And those who were used as sacrifices also had some power to a certain extent.

If things really get out of hand, even the gangs won't be in any good shape.

The Shekou Gang certainly can't tolerate this kind of suffering for no reason, and you, the Administrative Bureau, can't make random accusations, right?

This is what happened, but Ryan always felt that something was wrong. Even if the Shekou Gang was unhappy, they would not come here to cause trouble. After all, it was well known that Casradi was about to arrive in Berman City. If they really made Her Royal Highness the Princess unhappy, they would kill them all, no matter who they were, Shekou or Rat Mouth.

Knock—knock! —

The sound of a train whistle suddenly reached everyone's ears, accompanied by the clanging sound of the vibrating rails. In the distance, with steam gushing out, a black train quickly entered the station.

"The princess is coming! The princess is coming!"

Outside the station, some citizens who came to welcome Casradi cheered.

At this moment, a streak of light fell from the sky and landed on the railroad tracks in front of everyone's gaze.

boom!

As expected, two railroad tracks within the explosion range were broken, and the train crashed into the broken rails, with the front of the train flipping over instantly.

Ryan looked up and saw the carriage rolling in the air. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a classic movie scene.

"The car flipped over! The princess flipped over!!!"

Chapter 20 The Princess Didn’t Fail

Did the princess flip over?

of course not.

Although the sheriffs present had no way to deal with the current situation, the extraordinary people were able to make the flying carriage land steadily.

boom! ~~

A loud bang raised a large cloud of dust. Ryan looked towards where Jonathan had been and found that he had disappeared from the spot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

The sheriffs shouted.

Ryan immediately ordered his guns to be loaded. He was now 100% sure that this attack was definitely done by Adler's old man.

Otherwise, how could these thugs from the Shekou Gang have the courage to break into the reception hall of Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Boom!

Gunshots.

A sheriff opened fire, but it was unclear who he was aiming at. The sudden cloud of dust obscured most of the vision, but the scene immediately became chaotic after the gunshot was heard.

The citizens who were waiting to greet them outside the station cried out in panic, and the thugs from the Shekou Gang also started shouting.

"Murder! The sheriff has murdered someone!"
