Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

But Li Xin wasn't about to give them a chance to aim at him. He swiftly struck the steel gate of the base with a palm strike, smashing it open, and then rushed inside. Fighting an enemy with a machine gun in an open space was just plain stupid. Ralph had been taught a lesson like that, so how could Li Xin possibly follow in Ralph's footsteps?

Li Xin rushed into the base, and the soldiers naturally chased after him. Just as they entered the base's passage, a powerful force struck them, and they experienced the same treatment as the two soldiers before them: "Boundless Ocean!"

After dealing with the pursuing soldiers, Li Xin continued to advance. Soldiers kept attacking along the way, but because there were many bunkers in the base, Li Xin easily eliminated them.

Don't fight a Central Plains man named "Jack" in the furniture store. Similarly, don't fight a martial artist with a gun when you have cover, or you'll die.

After dealing with the soldiers, Li Xin rushed into the depths of the base. Once inside, he suddenly felt like he had stepped into a movie. The base was incredibly high-tech, filled with machines he had never seen before and whose functions he didn't know. This feeling was exactly the same as that of villainous organizations that plot to rule the world, often seen in movies.

Why does this drug lord's base have to be so high-tech?

Li Xin had a question in his mind, but soon he remembered what Crocodile had said: traditional drugs were no longer popular, and many drug dealers had started to switch to selling synthetic drugs. Although synthetic drugs were just as addictive as traditional drugs, they were not as harmful to the body and could extract money from people for a longer period of time. More importantly, the components of synthetic drugs were not yet defined as drugs internationally, so they could be directly imported into other countries under the guise of medicines.

Looking at this research-oriented base, Li Xin couldn't help but wonder, could this be a base used by drug lords to develop the latest synthetic drugs?

Li Xin made a judgment in his mind and decided that after rescuing the mission target, he would also destroy this place to prevent it from harming the world!

"Who's breaking in!"

A majestic voice roared angrily. Before Li Xin could even see clearly, he felt a chill rush towards him. He quickly leaned back to avoid a series of sharp blades, but he still felt the air cutting into his cheek.

There's an expert here!

Li Xin quickly realized that it was good that there were experts around. Wasn't it because the drug lord had experts under his command that Long Wu sent Li Xin to help?

Li Xin dodged the incoming flying knife, and at the same time, braced himself with both hands on the ground and quickly used a backflip to create distance between himself and his opponent.

After creating some distance, Li Xin looked at his suddenly appearing opponent.

It was a tall man dressed in a black combat suit, even a little taller than Li Xin. He had a slicked-back hairstyle like Gao Jin, a mustache, a stern face, and a resolute gaze. He looked remarkably like the old friend in the textbook, which surprised Li Xin.

After the initial surprise, Li Xin immediately erupted in even greater anger.

You're just a drug dealer's henchman, how dare you compare yourself to him! Today I'm going to beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!

Without saying a word, Li Xin lunged at the tall man with the mustache, striking out with four palms simultaneously from four directions.

The man with the mustache sneered, and in the face of Li Xin's powerful attack, he actually turned his back, and the long hem of his combat uniform moved without wind, slapping towards Li Xin.

Only then did Li Xin realize that the hem of the man with the mustache's black combat uniform was covered with sharp blades, and the blade that had just slashed Li Xin's face came from there.

The blade was so sharp that no flesh and blood could withstand it. Li Xin had no choice but to temporarily evade, deflecting the force of the palm strike and retreating.

"Humph."

The man with the mustache revealed a smug smile, and then a sharp sword aura came rushing in. This time it was his turn to dodge.

Li Xin, who had already drawn his soft sword, was not going to give the man with the mustache a chance to retreat and regroup. He thrust his sword straight forward, the tip of which emitted a three-foot-long sword beam, extending his attack range.

"mean!"

The man with the mustache was furious. "I fought you with my bare hands, and you actually used a weapon!"

The man with the mustache spoke English, which Li Xin could understand. When he heard him call himself despicable, he almost laughed out of anger.

You, hiding dozens of razor blades under your clothes, have the nerve to say that my use of a sword is despicable?

Li Xin's sword was sharp and fierce. The man with the mustache dared not confront it lightly. He could only retreat a certain distance and then swing the hem of his action uniform. The black hem was swung like an iron curtain, and Li Xin's soft sword could not penetrate it no matter what he did.

Strange, this soft sword is Xiao Ai's masterpiece. It is already extremely sharp, and with the sword energy on it, it can cut through even the finest steel with a single stroke. So why can't it pierce into that person's clothes?

Li Xin thought of the combat uniforms worn by the two soldiers at the door and instantly understood—even the combat uniforms worn by those two ordinary soldiers had the effect of dissolving force, so this man with the mustache was obviously a top expert under the drug lord, and must be wearing a more advanced combat uniform, so it was not surprising that he could resist the sword energy.

However, no matter how powerful the combat suit is, there is a limit to the attacks it can withstand. I'll see who gives up first!

Li Xin's longsword danced, its sword energy like a fine rain. The man with the mustache swung his hem with great force, impervious to water. They seemed evenly matched, but he clearly felt that his combat uniform was about to give way.

Damn it, where did this expert come from?!

The man with the mustache harbored resentment, while his body spun continuously. With the added power of dozens of blades on his hem, he resembled a sharp whirlwind, forcing even Li Xin to retreat a few steps to temporarily avoid his attack.

However, when Li Xin tried to retreat, the man with the mustache refused, quickly closing in on Li Xin and throwing a punch at him.

Li Xin had been on guard against the bladed heel of his opponent, so when the man with the mustache suddenly threw a punch, he was caught off guard. Fortunately, Li Xin reacted quickly and managed to turn his head to avoid the punch.

Despite his failed punch, the man with the mustache wasn't angry. Instead, he revealed a strange smile. His shadow suddenly stretched out inexplicably, extending towards Li Xin. Li Xin didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively sensed danger and immediately retreated, retreated, and retreated some more.

Seeing Li Xin being so cautious, the man with the mustache secretly resented him. He said to Li Xin, "Don't be so smug. If my newly acquired superpower hadn't been underdeveloped yet, I definitely wouldn't have let you get such an advantage!"

Superpowers? Integration? What do you mean by that? Can superpowers be integrated? Aren't they all innate?

Li Xin was surprised by what the man with the mustache said, and then he saw his body suddenly turn into a black shadow and disappear into the darkness.

Li Xin was on high alert, waiting for the next attack from the man with the mustache who had been lying in wait, but after waiting for a long time, the other party did not launch an attack.

Just as Li Xin was filled with suspicion, a bright red light suddenly flashed within the base, and a sharp alarm sounded: "The base will initiate a self-destruct procedure in five minutes. All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately! To reiterate, the base will initiate a self-destruct procedure in five minutes. All personnel are requested to evacuate immediately!"

Li Xin: "..."

No, the outcome isn't even decided yet, and you're already starting to self-destruct? Isn't that a bit too hasty?

Li Xin had considered that his intrusion might alert the drug lord and his men, leading them to take the mission target hostage and force him to submit. However, he hadn't expected these people to be so petty. They were willing to detonate the base over a small loss. They were really too irresponsible!

Although he had a lot of complaints to make, now was clearly not the time to do so. Li Xin acted swiftly, but instead of running out of the base, he rushed into it to find his mission objective.

Although they will most likely take the mission objective with them, what if they are so ruthless as to abandon the mission objective altogether? Li Xin felt that this was not a group of people who could be judged by common sense!

Hmm, he's probably high on drugs.

Li Xin asked doubtfully.

Deeper into the base, Li Xin relied on the extraordinary perception of the "Mingyu Gong" to search for living people, only to find that there were almost no living people left in the base.

What a fast evacuation speed!

Li Xin thought that the target should have already left with the people in the base, and was about to leave as well, when he suddenly heard very faint voices underground.

In the underground laboratory of the base, two researchers in white coats were carrying a little girl, complaining in an unknown language, "All the other experimental subjects have been taken away, only this one is left... Ugh, it's so heavy! Should we just give up? If we delay any longer, we'll explode along with the base!"

"No, this is the only successful one among this batch of experimental subjects. If the other subjects are lost, so be it. We must get her out of the lab! Hurry, there will be a cart available once we get her out of the lab!"

"But it's so heavy! Those combatants, they're only focused on packing up the data, they don't even know to help us carry the experimental subjects with them!"

"Stop complaining. If you want to complain, then complain. Why did the attacker have to attack right when we had just anesthetized the test subject? If she had been conscious, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble!"

The two researchers, still complaining, worked together to carry a girl outside when suddenly the ceiling collapsed. They thought the explosion had started prematurely and were so frightened that they sat down on the ground with a thud, blood gushing from their throats, and they collapsed completely to the ground.

Li Xin, who had fallen from above, sheathed his soft sword and looked at the girl lying on the ground, trying to identify her.

Wheat-colored skin, short white hair, a cute face, and the age of thirteen or fourteen—well, everything about him matches the mission objective.

It was a bit strange that she was wearing a hospital gown, the kind that patients wear, but now was not the time to dwell on that. There was only about a minute left before the base exploded, and there were no other living people left in the base. He had to get the little girl away quickly.

"Come, come home with me..."

Looking at the adorable girl who had fallen into a coma, Li Xin smiled and picked her up from the ground.

Wow, it's so heavy!

Li Xin, who picked up the girl, felt as if he was holding a heavy weight, not a slender little girl. Even with his strength, he felt a strain in holding her!

Did you just go through a big battle and your body is a little weak?

Li Xin couldn't help but have some doubts, but now was not the time to think about it; what he needed to do was get out of here as soon as possible!

Chapter 120 I love watching men fight for me!

One kilometer away from Li Xin's battle base, at a fortress embedded in the mountain, Long Wu led his "Scorpion Soldiers" in a fierce attack on the fortress, pouring down ammunition as if it were free, trying to attract as much attention as possible so that Li Xin could move smoothly.

Deep within the fortress, a blue-haired girl in combat gear wielded a hand knife, dispatching several soldiers who attacked her.

She lifted the white-haired girl on her back and quickened her pace to leave.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out, accompanied by a tremendous tremor that shook the earth. Everyone, including Long Wu and his group, the blue-haired girl, and the drug lord's men in the fortress, was terrified by the violent explosion.

The fortress was built against the mountain and was originally incredibly sturdy, difficult to destroy even with bombs. However, the power of the explosion came from underground and was extremely strong, almost like a small earthquake. As a result, huge cracks appeared in the outer walls of the fortress, and at the same time, the interior of the fortress began to collapse continuously.

"Quick, run!"

The drug lord's men, seeing their once-strongest fortress about to collapse from within, were terrified. They abandoned their weapons and tried to flee the stronghold they usually relied on as a bulwark, disregarding the ongoing battle.

At this opportune moment, Long Wu and his men did not press their advantage, but instead stared wide-eyed at the collapsing fortress.

It wasn't Ashin; I just asked you to go and rescue people. Why did you make such a big commotion?

Long Wu was shocked.

After such a commotion, Long Wu dared not continue the attack. Who knew if the collapse of the opposite mountain would affect his side? He immediately ordered a retreat.

As for the blue-haired girl, since the fortress seemed to be on the verge of collapse, no one cared about her anymore, which made her departure easier. She skillfully dodged the falling rocks and quickly left the fortress with the white-haired girl.

As soon as the blue-haired girl left the fortress, a loud crash resounded, and the fortress collapsed. Gazing at the crumbling fortress, the blue-haired girl said calmly, "Mission complete."

After Long Wu and the others withdrew, they rested temporarily in an open area not far from the fortress.

There are no tall trees or mountains around this open space, so even if there are aftershocks, it shouldn't affect this place. This is also the meeting point that Long Wu and Li Xin agreed to meet after completing their mission.

Just as Long Wu finished making arrangements, Li Xin arrived here carrying the white-haired girl on his back.

Li Xin could have arrived much faster, but because the white-haired girl looked petite but was surprisingly heavy, Li Xin walked (literally) one step at a time, unable to use his lightness skill freely, so he was a little slower.

When Long Wu saw Li Xin carrying someone over his back, he immediately assumed that Li Xin had succeeded. He quickly walked up to Li Xin and asked, "Ah Xin, is this the mission target?"

"Ah."

Li Xin put the unconscious white-haired girl down, and Long Wu went to take her. Li Xin quickly said, "Fifth Brother, be careful!"

Long Wu couldn't help but laugh. Although he didn't have Li Xin's martial arts skills, he was still a grown man. Could he possibly not handle a teenage girl?

"I wipe!"

Long Wu uttered a vulgar curse, but fortunately Li Xin, seeing the situation was bad, quickly went to help Long Wu by supporting the girl; otherwise, Long Wu would have made a fool of himself.

Seeing that Li Trust had taken hold of the girl, Long Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How come this person is so heavy!"

"I don't know, maybe it's because of the good nutrition."

Li Xin thought for a moment and said.

"Good nutrition..."

Long Wu looked at the girl in Li Xin's arms. Indeed, although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was already quite well-endowed and looked like she was well-nourished.

Even so, it shouldn't be this heavy!

"Hahaha!"

Just then, a burst of laughter rang out, and Ralph, soaking wet and looking extremely disheveled, walked over. And with him, of course, was his partner Clark.

Like Ralph, Clark was also soaked to the bone. However, unlike the carefree Ralph, Clark had a calm demeanor. Even though he was drenched, he still exuded a fierce aura that made him a force to be reckoned with.

Behind the two, a blue-haired girl lagged half a step behind.

The blue-haired girl was tall and slender. Standing behind the burly Ralph and Clark, she did not appear delicate at all. She had a high ponytail, a cold expression, and a stunningly beautiful face.

Upon seeing the blue-haired girl, Long Wu's eyes widened immediately, but not because of the blue-haired girl herself, but because she was carrying a white-haired girl on her back!

"Dragon Five, although your helpers plotted against me and Clark, you were still one step behind. Don't you know that our 'Ikari Team' has other experts besides us?"

Ralph took the lead and walked up to Long Wu arrogantly, saying, "To tell you the truth, we are not the main force of this mission at all. Clark and I are here to ensure that you fail to complete the mission. The real main force of the mission is someone else!"

Mercenaries are a group of people who don't care much about ethics. When carrying out competitive missions, it's basic practice to sabotage the other side. As long as the mission is ultimately successful, even the employer won't say anything.

This time too, besides Ralph and Clark who are on the surface, there is another person hiding in the shadows on the "Ikari Warriors" side. While Ralph and Clark are following Li Xin, the hidden person is following behind Long Wu and the others, and they find the drug lord's lair. When Long Wu and the others make their move, the hidden person will sneak into the drug lord's lair to rescue people. As for Ralph and Clark, they will help if they can, and if they can't help, they will just hold off Li Xin. Preventing Li Xin from succeeding is their victory.

This time, although Ralph and Clark failed to hold off Li Xin, the hidden person still managed to rescue the mission target. So, the "Ikari Warriors" were the ones who completed the mission this time, and Ralph naturally trembled with excitement.

"You said you rescued your mission target... so who is she?"

Long Wu pointed at the white-haired girl in Li Xin's arms.

Ralph, who was looking smug, had his attention completely on Long Wu. Only when he heard Long Wu's question did he notice that there was also a white-haired girl in Li Xin's arms.

Ralph's expression froze. His eyes widened in disbelief: "You're kidding me! There are two mission objectives! What's going on?!"

Long Wu rubbed his temples: "I also want to know what happened..."

Clark stepped forward, carefully examined the girl in Li Xin's arms, then looked at the girl being carried on the back of the blue-haired girl, and finally said, "The one we rescued is the mission target. As for who the one on your side is, I don't know."

As he spoke, Clark took out a photo of a family of three: a couple and their daughter. Long Wu took the photo, confirmed that the husband in the photo was his employer, then pointed the photo at the girl on the blue-haired girl's back, and then gestured at the girl in Li Xin's arms. Finally, he exclaimed in shock, "How can there be two people who look exactly alike!"

Well, in reality, it's not very easy to distinguish people of races other than Asians; you can basically tell them apart by hair color and skin color.

"Are you blind? These two look completely different, okay? That one is much cuter!"

Ralph pointed at the girl in Li Xin's arms and shouted.
