Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

But today, she met Ji Luo, and she finally realized what it means that there are always people better than you!

What does it mean to be... inhuman?

"Sir Jiu, this is impossible! Just relying on your reputation, you can ask for 2,000? This is too little!"

Chapter 04: The Girl Named Nine

"Ji Luo, don't you know how much your broken tricycle is worth? You want me to help you blackmail it, right?"

Jiu Wuyu was speechless and even admired Ji Luo. She was a senior police inspector of the Longmen Guard Bureau. Even those cruel and vicious criminals would be afraid and restrained in front of her.

But what about Ji Luo? After knowing that she had no ill intentions, he immediately let himself go, revealed his true face, and came close to her like a toad!

"No, no, no! Sir Jiu, I don't mean that! I'm just short of money, so it's inevitable that I'm a little anxious~"

"Three thousand! I'll advance the money to you on their behalf."

"Sir Nine is mighty!"

"..."

Jiu looked at Ji Luo who was starting to praise her crazily and couldn't help laughing out of anger. She rolled her eyes at Ji Luo and turned to go to the bank next door to withdraw money.

When Jiu came back, he found that Ji Luo had got a bag from somewhere and was picking up intact potatoes from the ground, working as hard as a hamster.

"Ji Luo, your compensation."

"Here I come! Here I come! Sir Jiu, thank you so much! From now on, I will give you half of my life!"

Ji Luo came running over happily carrying a bag of potatoes. He counted the money carefully and smiled like a squirrel that had saved enough food for the winter.

"Ji Luo, you have money now, go buy yourself a cell phone tomorrow. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first~"

Jiu didn't give Ji Luo a chance. He turned around and left. Ji Luo, who was holding the money and smiling, was stunned for a moment. He raised his head stiffly and tried to make amends, but Jiu didn't listen at all and only left Ji Luo with his back.

"Sir Jiu! Stop it! I...I was wrong! I can do whatever you want to me, just don't deduct my money!"

"..."

Jiu ignored Ji Luo's wailing and quickly distanced herself from him. After no longer hearing Ji Luo's screams, the girl could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing. The more she laughed, the happier she became.

On the street, many people turned their eyes to her, but Jiu didn't care about it at all. She was happy for a long time before she walked into the crowd with a smile and ease.

How long has it been since she laughed so happily?

Recently, the security pressure in Longmen has been increasing. The "Thousand Faces" who committed several major crimes has not been seen yet. The contradictions between ordinary people and infected people are intensifying, and there is even a trend of turning into confrontation.

As the leader of the Special Inspection Team of the Longmen Guard Bureau, too many things are reflected in her eyes and flow into her heart... There are secrets, trivialities, filth, glory, bestiality, and kindness.

After all, those are the stories and lives of millions of people!

Jiu has carried too much on her shoulders for too long. She is really tired and can't hold on any longer.

Jiu's background was not very helpful, and her experience was not legendary at all. It was a miracle that she could sit in this position.

All along, she just wanted to do her job well and protect more people.

But the more Jiu understood this city, the more clearly she could feel the hands hovering over Longmen, as well as her insignificance and powerlessness.

Longmen is a huge chessboard where all living things live. From beginning to end, there are only a few people playing chess: Wei Yanwu, the Rat King, the Emperor, Euell Peters...

They are the ones who can truly change this city. As for her, she is just a cleaning leader who can be replaced at any time.

——Also preparing for replacement.

"After all these years, I'm really tired. Chen has grown a lot, so it shouldn't take long."

Jiu knew a long time ago that Chen was the successor arranged by Wei Yanwu.

He supported her and looked after her as they moved up and forward step by step.

And my position is a stop that Chen must pass through, so... I have to make way for Chen and train her to replace me.

Of course, this is not a demotion. Wei Yanwu will definitely arrange other important positions for her, as always.

After all, that was Wei Yanwu - he personally raised the child Longmen. How could such a heroic figure make any mistakes and lose the support of the people?

"But, in his eyes... is there really a place for the infected?"

Jiu thought about Wei Yanwu's attitude and felt even more heartbroken. She really wanted to protect this city, but why could she only watch everything sink now? !

For some reason, at this moment, Ji Luo’s silly face suddenly flashed through Jiu’s mind.

He is obviously an infected person, and obviously poor and miserable, but he... is really completely different from the other infected people.

He is working hard to make money, working hard to live, and working hard to be like a normal person.

How many people among those infected are like him?

They are all human beings. Don’t they deserve and shouldn’t they live like human beings?

"After all... I can't do anything."

Jiu sighed weakly and stopped suddenly. Only then did she realize that she had walked to the electronics street.

"What will happen to him, what will happen to the infected, I will... witness it with my own eyes."

After all, the girl was not the kind of person who would complain about herself. She quickly changed her mood and walked into the mobile phone store next door.

In the store, Jiu paid for a model he was using, and filled in the address given by Ji Luo and asked them to deliver it to his door.

After completing the formalities and Jiu came out of the mobile phone store, she suddenly remembered that the movie tickets she bought had expired.

"It's a rare day off, but I don't seem to have rested at all. But... it's not bad."

Jiu seemed to have just woken up from a sleep after staying up all night, and she relaxed for a rare moment. She had been patrolling and handling cases in Longmen all day, and was very familiar with this city. But today, as she wandered around aimlessly, she unexpectedly felt an inexplicable sense of freshness.

"Huh? That dessert shop... Chen and Shi Huaiya seem to have mentioned it before. It tastes very good."

Jiu is not a person who particularly likes sweet food, but he happened to come across it today, so he went to try it.

But what Jiu didn't expect was that she saw an acquaintance just after she pushed the door and entered the store. Without any hesitation, the girl hid herself as if by reflex.

At this time, at the dessert shop's order counter, a young man with a smell of oil smoke and a large bag of potatoes in his hand was looking down at the menu, concentrating on asking about the details of each item...

The food in this dessert shop tastes great, but the prices are extremely high. The customers are generally middle-class urbanites, who are either dressed in suits or look very high-spirited.

Unlike this young man, his clothes were stained with oil, his hands were covered with mud, and he asked this and that like a bumpkin, saying that things were too expensive and wanted a discount.

The young man took a long time to order, and many of the people waiting behind him were getting impatient, especially a person who had just started queuing and just walked past.

The man was tall and had a fierce face, looking very scary. The girl next to him wanted to hold him back but was unable to stop him.

"Hey! *Longmen swear* are you going to buy it or not? If you don't have money, get out of here and don't take up space. There are so many people waiting behind you!"

Chapter 05: Chen, my wife

The man had a loud voice and cursed harshly, scaring everyone around him. The few customers who were close to Ji Luo even avoided him from a distance...

At this time, Jiu was hiding in the dark, watching the scene with great interest, silently chanting in his heart, "Fight, fight quickly!"

Of course, she didn't hate Ji Luo and wanted to see him get beaten.

The girl just recalled the process of interacting with Ji Luo - she clearly had an absolute advantage, but the result seemed to be controlled by him!

Jiu thinks she is not a stingy person, nor is she upset, she just feels a little awkward, so she wants to see Ji Luo make a fool of himself~

Well...she wouldn't let him get beaten too badly. As long as he looked embarrassing, she would rush out and give him justice.

Depending on the situation, she could also help him get some compensation. In this way, Ji Luo would definitely be grateful to her, his loyalty would skyrocket, and he would do his best as an informant!

Very good! The script has been arranged, Ji Luo, others are scolding you, hurry up and fight!

Jiu laughed expectantly, and was very glad that he didn't go to the movies. The scene in front of him was much more interesting than the movie.

In front of the bright and shiny ordering counter, a poor and destitute young man faced the contempt and indifference of the people around him and the malice of the thugs behind him. What was he thinking, fear or anger?

Will he take action? Faced with the huge difference in size, should the young man punch his opponent in the jaw first, or kick him in the crotch?

——Worry, pity, watching the show, looking forward to a fight, the expressions of the people around are different, and the thoughts in their hearts are all living beings.

Their eyes all turned to the lonely young man, waiting for his decision.

"Well...it seems like I can save ten bucks if I apply for a membership card, but I don't have a cell phone, so I can't get one. Oh~Give me a strawberry colorful amusement park ice cream, plus a...cheapest cone."

Inside the dessert shop, to everyone's surprise, the young man simply ignored the voice behind him.

As if the person who provoked him didn't exist, he completely ignored the other party. With a painful look on his face, he took out a bunch of five and ten yuan bills stained with oil smoke from his pocket and paid.

· "*Longmen swears* Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"

Under the gaze of so many people, the man felt very embarrassed to be ignored. He cursed and pushed the young man hard.

However... the young man didn't move at all, he just turned around.

In the bright sunlight, the boy's silver hair seemed to be glowing with light. His eyes were blue and his face was handsome and refined, yet he had a kind of firmness that refused to bend.

At this moment, the young man turned his head and his eyes met the provocative man for a moment. The colors in his pupils seemed like the sky and the ocean reflected each other, and there was a majesty that made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!

Just like a giant beast cruising in the sky, it sensed the provocation of the rats and insects on the ground. It cast its gaze downwards, and the earth became silent.

"..."

In the end, Ji Luo said nothing. He just glanced at the man and turned back again, waiting to get his meal.

Normally, the order counter is only responsible for taking orders, and food should be picked up at the side, but at this moment, everyone was silent, and their eyes quietly turned away...

In the silence, the man seemed unable to bear the humiliation, or perhaps he could not endure the fear in his heart. He suddenly took out a dagger, his face as ferocious as a terrified beast.

"stop!"

A delicate cry was heard, and a graceful figure rushed out from the side. She kicked the man in the knee, causing him to fall backwards, and then punched him in the face. The man's head fell to the ground with a bang, and he lost consciousness instantly.

"I am Chen from the Longmen Guard Bureau: Special Inspection Team. You are under arrest for endangering the public."

The dragon girl was slender, with lightning-shaped horns on her head. Her facial features were delicate and beautiful, her crimson pupils were as clear as gemstones, and her eyebrows were full of heroism. The girl's long blue hair was tied into a pair of low ponytails, hanging down from her shoulders, looking cool and fierce.

"List?!"

Just one glance from her made the silent boy in the store look like he had seen his dream girl, with surprise and excitement on his face. He looked at the girl with burning eyes, his gaze constantly lingering on her corners.

"you know me?"

Chen looked at the boy's excited expression and tried to remember when he had come into contact with him. The boy also realized his problem at this time. He immediately restrained his emotions, but he couldn't help but smile.

"My name is Ji Luo, and I have always liked your... career. Thank you for everything you have done for Longmen!"

"Ah? Ohhh~ This is my responsibility. No need to thank me."

Chen couldn't stand Ji Luo's gaze a little bit. She could only nod perfunctorily, trying to make Ji Luo tactfully leave quickly.

"Mr. Chen, can I...can I take a picture of you?"

"cannot!"

Chen hardened, her fist hardened, if she hadn't taken into account the public impact, she would definitely punch Fei Jiluo like she did to this thug!

Ji Luo felt that there was something wrong with Chen's gaze and immediately took two steps back. Fortunately, the food he ordered was delivered, saving Ji Luo from embarrassment.

"Mr. Chen, thank you. This cone is my thank you gift. I... only have this cone."

"No need, I..."

Chen waved his hand to refuse without hesitation, but Ji Luo stuffed the ice cream cone into Chen's hand without giving him a chance to refuse, then turned around and ran away.

"..."

Chen took the ice cream cone given by Ji Luo for no apparent reason, feeling as if he had met a lunatic. At this time, Ji Luo had already walked out of the store. He turned around, smiled brightly and gave Chen a thumbs up.

Mader is retarded!

What made Chen even more confused was that someone suddenly clapped in the dessert shop. At first it was sparse, but in the end it became neat and continuous. Chen was completely confused and felt like he was the only normal person in the shop.

The girl turned her head and looked at Jiu in the corner for help. Jiu thought he was hiding well, but his expression suddenly froze...

In the end, it was the patrolling police officers from the Longmen Guard Bureau who rescued them. Jiu and Chen took the opportunity to leave the dessert shop and hid under a big tree, facing each other in embarrassment.

"Team leader, why are you following that Ji Luo? Is there a case against him?"

"I... followed him?"

Jiu always appeared calm and decisive in front of her subordinates, but at this moment, she couldn't hold her breath and started coughing.
