Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"Rumors, pure rumors! There must be 'remains of the star of disaster' in Longmen. Do you think I care about it~"

Ji Luo was very frank at this time, without any reservation or hesitation. Jiu nodded gently, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

"Ji Luo, have you had dinner?"

"Nope."

"I'll treat you."

"No, there are people waiting at home."

"Okay, next time then."

"it is good……"

Let's see how Jiu did it.jpg

Chapter 49: Take it down in one go

Ji Luo finished his long talk with Jiu. When he was about to leave the community, he just received a text message that 400,000 Longmen coins had been deposited into his account.

"The world still has hope because of these people."

Before leaving, Ji Luo turned his head and glanced at the distant rooftop. He knew that Jiu was still there and that she was looking at him.

Walking in the darkness, people with light in their hearts will eventually come together.

"Nine... I hope so and I believe so."

Ji Luo nodded, then turned and walked into the street, joining the bustling crowd.

When Ji Luo was on the bus back home, a midnight call came in. Ji Luo answered the phone, the two chatted for a few words, and then he hung up.

Not long after, Ji Luo got off the bus and saw a pretty girl next to the bus stop.

"Ji Luo, it's too slow."

Yeban had her cheeks slightly puffed up, her hands folded across her chest, and at her feet lay a long-nosed sleeping beast that was dozing off.

Ji Luo walked to her side. Che Che, who was half asleep, pricked up her ears and climbed into Ji Luo's arms nimbly.

"How was the meal?"

"Not bad, I had a great meal~"

Ye Ban smiled and showed a four-digit number. Ji Luo nodded calmly and asked her to add it to the debt.

The girl immediately smiled and generously gave Ji Luo a zero, and the total account became 107,500 Longmen coins.

"Ji Luo~When can you pay me back~"

"Wait, then."

Ji Luo rolled his eyes at Yeban, completely seeing through the girl's heart.

It was obvious that Yeban didn't want him to pay back the money at all. Although the girl usually acted like she cared a lot about money, what she really cared about was her companions.

Ye Ban really enjoyed the bond between them that was constantly accumulated in the form of "owing a debt". Ji Luo saw through it but did not say anything, allowing her to feel secretly happy.

"At midnight, how are the two employees?"

"Xuezhi is a good kid who works overtime until death. He is serious about his work and can't take jokes. He seems to have very low self-esteem... But he performs well in his professional field."

Ye Han had a very good eye for people, and after a series of probing conversations and a big meal, she had figured out the two people.

"Ansuo is a typical Lower City girl, but she's not a bad person and has good skills. If she can change her habit of stealing, she will be a good deputy."

"That's fine. I'll take care of Xuezhi. Ansuo will be your subordinate from now on. Ask her to pay more attention to the movements in the lower city. Money is not a problem."

Ji Luo changed his mind and planned to set up the stall directly. Jiu's attitude and support no longer allowed him to do small things.

In that case - might as well make the scene bigger.

"Ji Luo, are you going to attack the lower city now?"

"It shouldn't be too late. I got a large investment from Nine, as well as...huge support."

Ji Luo stretched out his hand and gestured a few numbers. Ye Ban was naturally knowledgeable and immediately took a breath of cold air.

"Four hundred thousand Longmen coins are not a small amount, but Longmen's channel for collecting confiscated goods cannot be simply described by money! Jiu gives such a big support..."

The girl suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately grabbed Ji Luo's shirt with both hands and tried to pull it open to take a look.

"Ji Luo! Are you selling your body? We can't do this!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Your conclusion clearly shows that there is something wrong with your thinking!"

"No! Let me be healthy!"

"Look at you big-headed devil!"

Ji Luo gave Ye Ban a slap on the face. The girl screamed and covered her head with her hands. She stared at Ji Luo with tearful eyes, feeling anxious, angry and sad.

"Ji Luo, you've changed! Now that you have the investment and attention of a rich woman, you treat me, your creditor, with cold eyes!"

"Spit it out! Where did you learn these bullshit? We have gone through life and death all the way, how can money measure it?!"

Ji Luo was so angry at midnight that his breathing became uneven. The girl clearly knew everything, but she pretended to be confused and acted against him.

Obviously, she was using this method to remind him not to cross the line. Money transactions were okay, but PY transactions were definitely not okay.

"Ji Luo, you keep yelling at me, I'm going to your house and tell S'ltl everything!"

"Then go ahead! I want to see what I have done that makes you want to kill me so badly!"

"You are simply dazzled by the glamorous world of Longmen, and you just don't want to go back to the wilderness!"

She was born in the wilderness at midnight. Although she had lived in the city before, she knew very well that she would eventually return to the wilderness, so she was in a relaxed mood.

But now, she followed Ji Luo to stay in Longmen and settled down in this unfamiliar environment. She really didn’t know whether she could return to the wilderness.

——Everything in the mobile city-state was strange and alienated to her. She resisted integrating into this place like a stubborn child.

For so many days, since she arrived at Longmen, she has actually been feeling uneasy.

The girl gritted her teeth and endured it, stubbornly refusing to live with Ji Luo and instead moved to the downtown area.

She is a child of the wilderness, a hunter who grew up in suffering and hardship. She will not become Ji Luo's vassal, and she and him have always been in a cooperative relationship.

He still owed her a large sum of money, and she was the creditor, the powerful party!

"Ji Luo, you owe me so much money, can you pay it back in this lifetime?"

Ye Ban gritted her teeth as she spoke, but her voice was already starting to sound like tears. She turned her head away, not wanting Ji Luo to see her crying, but she couldn't stop.

She...misses home and wants to go back home.

"I can't pay it back. I can never pay it back."

Ji Luo put down the sleeping beast, walked to Ye Ban, hugged her gently, and then slowly exerted force, as if trying to merge the petite girl into his body.

"Midnight, feeling homesick?"

"Ah."

"I'm sorry, everything in Longmen is very different from the wilderness. You must be under a lot of pressure."

"Ah."

"As for me, although I say that I long for stability, I can't stop for a moment and pull you into the vortex again."

"Ah."

Ye Ban buried her cheek in Ji Luo's chest and slowly stopped sobbing. She affirmed Ji Luo's words in a nasal voice, and then poked Ji Luo's cheek with her small pointed horn.

"Ji Luo, when I first saw you, I knew that you were different from others. There was light and fire in your eyes. You would definitely... do something big."

"Haha~Really? How come I didn't know that myself?"

"Really. Ji Luo, you will eventually become a legend, a hero praised in stories. I actually... just want to follow you, always follow you."

"At midnight, you have become part of the story."

"No, you know too much. I try my best to learn, but I still can't really learn it. I'm afraid of being left behind by you, of being replaced by others, and of being abandoned by you."

"Yeban, if you think so, I can only prove it to you."

Ji Luo suddenly let go of Ye Ban, and as the girl cried softly, he lifted her cheek and kissed her without letting her refuse...

Under the swaying shadows of the trees, their shadows finally overlapped. The girl was hugged by the man she loved, and her tongue and nose were filled with his scent.

She raised her hand and patted his back twice, then hugged him, making soft and soothing nasal sounds, and indulged in the sea he gave her...

Chapter 50: You are the most important

The moon was high in the sky. In the old rental house, Sartl was curled up on the sofa, hugging a fluffy cushion, staring blankly at the TV...

The images and sounds being played did not enter the girl's mind at all. The real world seemed to have become the background. Surtel thought about everything about Ji Luo with a quiet smile.

Ding ding ding~!

The cell phone suddenly rang, the girl woke up from her memories, and hurriedly looked for her cell phone on the sofa.

There was only one person who knew her cell phone number, and there was only one person remembered in her phone. As expected, the person who called was him.

"Hello? Surtel, can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I can hear you clearly."

Actually, Sartel didn't hear it very clearly. Ji Luo's tongue seemed to be injured, and his tone of voice was strange when he spoke.

"Ji Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"

"Hiss~ No... No... I just ate something at a roadside stall. It was very spicy. Hiss~"

It seemed that Ji Luo was just feeling the spiciness. Although he was breathing heavily, he was in a good mood. The girl listened carefully for a while and then she felt relieved.

"Jilo, is everything going well?"

"It went smoothly, and everything...had a good result."

"That's good."

"Well, S'ltl, have you eaten yet?"

"no."

Sartel leaned her head on the sofa, the light from her cell phone shone on her face, vaguely illuminating the girl's happy smile.

"Waiting for you to come back..."

"Okay, I'll go buy some food now and come back right away."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Luo's voice suddenly became softer, as if he was confiding in her, or as if he was talking to himself.

"Sartre... no matter how many times we meet and reunite, you are the most important person to me."

"I know, I've always known."

The girl closed her eyes and nodded slightly, then the phone went offline with a small beep.

After a while, the girl's eyes suddenly widened. She stood up from the sofa with the help of Levadin, turned on the lights in the room, and then ran to the kitchen.

Oops…forgot to clean up the mess from earlier!

As the girl was busy working, the sound of broken dishes soon came from the kitchen. The girl, who was almost becoming a foodie, screamed in surprise, and then with a snap, the chopsticks she was washing broke into two pieces.

This may be the true meaning of life... good things come to those who wait.

When Ji Luo returned home carrying two buckets of water, the girl was curled up on the sofa, feeling aggrieved and sad, and it seemed that she was angry with him.

"Ji Luo, am I stupid?"

"What's wrong? Who said anything about you?"

"No, it was so easy as shown on TV, but I just can't do it properly."

The girl frowned, as if she was really thinking seriously about why this happened. Ji Luo barely managed to stop himself from laughing. He put down the two buckets in his hands and took out the newly bought ice cream.

"Sartre, why are you thinking about useless things? Eat ice cream!"

"Ji Luo! I..."
