Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

What is certain is that this should be the first time that Chen has been touched on her horns by a member of the opposite sex. Everyone can feel the girl's nervousness and uneasiness. Those inexplicable emotions were suppressed in her heart, and she was too stubborn to show them.

In order not to expose his rapid breathing, Ji Luo simply held his breath. From his perspective, he could clearly see the girl's pink cheeks and cherry-red neck.

Ji Luo didn't dare to waste time. He held the girl's two horns with his hands, rubbing them gently with his fingertips, and pressed his palms against them, feeling the hard and frosted texture...

Ji Luo actually didn't know much about the Super Terrans. Logically speaking, these horn-like racial features should be the stratum corneum, nothing special about them.

However, when touching the girl's horns, Ji Luo could really feel the warmth that was connected to the girl's blood. The feeling was wonderful and addictive.

“That’s enough…that’s enough.”

Chen lowered her head, her whole body trembling slightly. She was always strong and resolute, but now she looked a little pitiful. The girl's voice was low and soft, and you could hear that she was uneasy, and you could also feel the shyness of a little animal.

"certainly--"

Ji Luo was so absorbed in touching her that he certainly didn't want to give up. However, when he saw the girl was so shy that her body was about to curl up, he finally let go.

Too much is as bad as too little...Don't let your shyness turn into madness, that can be fatal.

"Chen, um... I have to go... buy a T-shirt. See you next time."

Ji Luo was stuttering as he spoke, his head was dizzy, and he felt so happy that it felt unreal.

He really... touched Chen's horn, and Chen lowered her head and let him touch her. Coupled with the girl's uneasiness and patience, as well as that touching shyness, it was a complete psychological and physical double satisfaction. Three years of huge profit was worth the death penalty!

"and many more!"

Chen lowered her head, no longer daring to look at Ji Luo. Her voice was trembling, and every word seemed to be spoken with all her strength.

"Ji Luo, can you tell me how to change the lower city?"

"Then...can I touch your horns again?"

"Row!"

After Chen gave this answer, she wanted to crawl into the ground. Even in such an embarrassing situation, she still gave this answer. It can be imagined how anxious the girl was.

"Then let's meet next time. Next time we meet, I'll tell you the three methods."

Ji Luo took two steps back with a parting smile on his face. Chen looked up suddenly when he heard his words, and could clearly see that the girl's eyes were watery, her cheeks were red, and she was ashamed and angry.

"Why don't you say it now!"

"Because... you haven't answered my previous question yet."

Ji Luo stopped teasing at this time. He looked straight at Chen, with only determination in his voice.

"Longmen's security situation, people's mentality, and governing policies are actually resisting change. If you insist on doing it, you're going against everyone! Are you...really ready?"

"I……"

Chen's first thought was yes, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

"Chen, take a good look at Longmen. Please believe in yourself and give yourself some time. We...see you next time."

Chapter 26: Chen's Determination

Chen looked at Ji Luo's receding back and stood there blankly, his thoughts confused and hesitant...

After graduating from the Victoria Royal Guard School, she returned to Longmen and has been serving in the Guard Bureau ever since.

She thought that after learning so much from Jiu, she could now stand on her own and had the ability to change Longmen's shortcomings.

However, this time, after talking with Ji Luo, Chen realized her own naivety and discovered that what she had been thinking and doing was actually just superficial.

“Am I…really ready for change?”

Chen herself does not have the answer to this question. She hopes to improve the situation in the lower city, but she is afraid that it will affect the stability of the upper city and make the situation worse.

For the first time, the girl realized that a decision or an answer could bring her such heavy pressure.

Chen looked a little at a loss, and she habitually placed her hand on the long sword.

Over the years, Chen has been practicing hard and honing her sword skills. She has become accustomed to working hard alone, and is also accustomed to the peace that the sword brings her.

——No words are needed, no hesitation is needed, because the sword itself is the answer.

Chen slowly pulled out the long sword issued by the Guards Bureau, paused for a moment, and then sheathed it.

"..."

Chen pursed her lips and untied Chi Xiao. She held the weapon she had been desperately pursuing, recalling the days when she tried to get its recognition. The girl silently imitated Ji Luo's previous posture and began to draw the sword...

Xin——

Without any delay or effort, Chen pulled out the magic weapon easily. The girl looked at the sword in her hand in shock, and couldn't help but look at the direction where Ji Luo left.

What...did he do?

How did he do that?!

If it is said that Chi Xiao was unruly before, he always acted arrogant and contemptuous.

So the current Chi Xiao can be described as docile and... pitiful.

Its power has not diminished at all, but its evil spirit has been completely restrained, making it extremely honest.

Surrender? Fear? Obey?

Chen saw Ji Luo draw out Chi Xiao with her own eyes, but she didn't expect that this time his sword drawing would bring such a shocking result.

"Is this... bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Chen looked at the red blade in her hand. The Chixiao Sword trembled, as if telling her how pitiful she was just now.

Or maybe it just now realized how kind and amiable its master Chen is, so it decided to follow her and absolutely obey her will.

"Ji Luo, are you... conveying something to me?"

Chen increasingly felt that Ji Luo was unfathomable. Although he was a pervert who liked to touch other people's corners, there was no doubt that Ji Luo was a very powerful person.

His words just now showed Chen a new world. It could even be said that he had pushed aside the false reality and allowed her to see the true mechanism of this world.

"He's telling me...My uncle's words may be correct, but they may not be right. A truly strong person will not obey, but conquer."

The girl stood there in a trance, silently putting the Chixiao Sword back into the scabbard and no longer paying much attention to it.

——In the past, I was thirsty for it but couldn’t get it, so I was full of excitement and expectations. Now that it is within reach, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Chen thought back to Ji Luo's every move just now, and felt more and more that he was not simple, so she carefully pondered and tried to find out the deeper meaning behind Ji Luo's words and actions.

"This Ji Luo is definitely not an ordinary person."

The more Chen thought about it, the more mysterious Ji Luo seemed to her, and she felt that she needed to check his situation.

Under Jiu's guidance, Chen developed a decisive character. She ran all the way back to where she parked her car, put the siren on the roof of the car, ran through the red light, ran back to the Longmen Guard Bureau, and went straight to the archives room.

"Eh?! Sir Chen, are you going to investigate this Ji Luo too?"

"Has anyone else checked him out?"

"Yes, Sir Jiu just looked at Ji Luo's information, you..."

"It's okay, I'll take a look too."

Chen didn't expect that Jiu was also investigating Ji Luo. Now that she thought about it...she might have had some hidden story when she followed Ji Luo last time, but she just didn't tell her.

"Did Sir Jiu also find out that Ji Luo is not right? Or does she have some ideas as well?"

Chen himself didn't realize that he had said the word "also". The girl took Ji Luo's information back to the office and locked the door.

"Jiro, entered the Dragon Gate on June 1096, 6 in the Terran calendar... that is, four days ago. Uninfected, with a companion, Surtel, who is also uninfected."

Chen placed Ji Luo's file on the table, holding a pen and paper, and wrote down important information while reading the materials.

This is Chen's habit, and also her secret to handling cases quickly. By the time she has finished reading the entire file, her notebook is already filled with key information.

"Ji Luo's address is very remote. Is it because he has no money... or does he want to avoid the crowd? He mentioned selling French fries. Why would someone like him sell French fries? Is he... conducting an investigation?"

Chen tried her best to analyze it, but there was too little information and she didn't get any results.

Ding~ding~ding~!

Chen's cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and found that it was Jiu calling.

"Chen, make arrangements on your end and hand over the cases on hand to others. There is something I need you to follow up on."

"Sir Jiu, what happened?"

"Is there anyone else with you?"

"No."

"Well, just now, Commander Wei ordered you and I to lead the team to negotiate with Qianmian."

"what?!"

Chen thought he had heard it wrong, but Jiu repeated the answer again, making Chen realize that it was no joke.

"Sir Jiu, Qianmian is a terrorist and a heinous gangster! Negotiating with him..."

"Chen, I know you have an opinion, but right now, this is the best way to protect Longmen."

"I see...I'll be there in a minute."

Chen knew that arguing was pointless, so she didn't say anything more to Jiu and hung up the phone.

Chen would never have dreamed that he would receive an order to negotiate with the bandits, and it came from Jiu's mouth!

Chen knew Jiu well. She would never propose such a method, nor would she agree to this plan.

The only possibility is - the arrangement above.

"Wei Yanwu..."

Chen already had the answer in her heart, but she couldn't believe that her uncle had fallen into such a state!

To negotiate with the bandits meant giving up the pursuit, surrendering directly, and handing over the compensation with both hands. This was simply... unbelievable!

Where does this kind of behavior put the Longmen Guard Bureau?

The reputation of the Longmen Guards was built with the youth and lives of those who sacrificed their lives and fought criminals without regrets.

But now, for a night of peace, her uncle, the governor of Longmen, chose to trample on all these sacrifices!

"Longmen, we must not sink like this! I must... change everything!"

Chapter 27: It's my turn at midnight

The setting sun is slanting, but the upper city area of ​​Longmen is still bustling with lights. From a distance, it looks like a band of light across the sky.

But under this brilliant light, the area called Lower Town is still mired in filth and darkness, unable to escape...

Dilapidated buildings stand next to each other, and some residents never see sunlight all year round. Sewage flows throughout the narrow alleys, and the foul smell permeates the air, making people feel sick.

“No matter how many times I come here, it’s hard to believe that this is also Dragon Gate.”

Ji Luo was wearing the cheap clothes he had just bought and swaggering along the streets of the slums, looking around.

After a while, a few prying eyes chose to leave cautiously, but three blind thugs surrounded them from the front.

"Scum who can't even join the gang..."

Ji Luo could tell at a glance that these three were all drug addicts, and their bodies smelled rotten from the inside out.

They were holding knives in their hands and drooling unconsciously, but their eyes were extremely fierce, and it was obvious that they had killed someone.

"You *longmen swear* hand over all the money."

"Sorry, I'm in a bad mood today."

Ji Luo suddenly apologized, which stunned the three thugs, but the next moment, they disappeared——

In the dim street, Ji Luo suddenly raised his right hand, and a pure white flame rose in his palm. Then he slid forward and swung his hand. The blazing holy flame engulfed the three people like a raging wave, and instantly turned them into ashes!

"Rihyakuhachi-style: Great Snake Nagami..."

Ji Luo was not at all disturbed by the disappearance of the three people. He looked around, and all the remaining prying eyes fled away.

"This is such a shitty world."

Ji Luo did not feel the slightest bit of pride in his display of power. No matter how many times, Ji Luo would remind himself that he was killing human beings, his own people.

——This is neither praiseworthy nor worthy of praise.
