Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"A sin."

He got up in the middle of the night and turned off the light in the ward, then took out a marble-sized pure Originium from his pocket.

A tiny wisp of holy flame was burning in it. This was the weapon named "Burning Light" by Ji Luo, and it had a power several times that of the source crystal bomb.

But at the same time, it can also be the key to awakening Ji Luo.

In the darkness, Ye Ban held Ji Luo's right hand. After some magical disguise, the star core of disaster on the back of his hand had been hidden.

In the middle of the night, he carefully placed the [Burning Light] on the back of Ji Luo's hand. The holy flame in the source stone shone brightly, and Ji Luo, who was lying dead on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes!

"Midnight? What are you doing? Wait! My whole body aches. Stop, stop, stop!"

"Ji Luo, scream louder, the whole hospital will know you're awake."

Ye Ban narrowed her eyes, as strong as a queen. She pulled off the quilt on Ji Luo, kicked off her shoes, and rode on him amid Ji Luo's screams!

"Miss Yeban, I...if I did something wrong, I will apologize to you. Can you please stop doing this?"

Ji Luo was nearly dead after being slapped by the eroding body. In order to make the performance more realistic, Ji Luo did not use the Holy Flame to heal his wounds. Now his whole body was in excruciating pain.

"I am a patient, seriously injured. Please get out of here. I know I was wrong and I will compensate you later."

"You are wrong~ Do you know where you are wrong?"

Ye Han certainly wouldn't tell Ji Luo that Chen and Texas had just confronted each other in front of his bed. Anyway, she wanted Ji Luo to see her when he woke up and only think about her.

The girl was filled with resentment and her hands were ruthless. She pressed Ji Luo's shoulders with both hands, making him lie on the bed and let her ravage him.

"You don't even know what you did wrong, so you apologize to me right here. You're just afraid of getting hurt, and you want to give me a perfunctory excuse so I can quickly forgive you!"

"No, no, absolutely not! I have deeply realized that I don't pay enough attention to you, otherwise I would definitely think of how I made you angry right away."

Ji Luo was a brave man who would not suffer a loss in the face of difficulties, and acted very sincerely. He tried his best to smile, trying to make the girl feel his sincerity.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ban suddenly leaned over, exhaled fragrance from her cherry lips, and sealed his lips...

Outside the window, the moonlight was dim, and there was only a little light at the edge of the ward. Further inside, the shadows were hazy, and only vague human figures could be seen.

The beautiful girl sat on Ji Luo's belly in a duck-like posture. She deliberately pressed the mattress with her knees to reduce the pressure on Ji Luo's body.

Of course she remembered that Ji Luo was injured. The punishment was only superficial. Deep down, it was still the girl's reproach to her lover and a deeper possessiveness.

So, she leaned on Ji Luo, as if she wanted to eat him, and gave herself to him.

The girl was timid and shy, but she mustered up the courage, licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of her tongue, and then let him suck and taste it.

As her breaths intertwined, the girl's delicate arches curved, and her nutmeg-like toes unconsciously clamped the bed sheet, causing the folds to ripple like water waves...

After a long time, the girl stood up by supporting herself on the mattress. A silver thread between her lips and tongue was stretched and finally broke at the limit.

"Ji Luo, let's leave, okay? Leave Longmen and go anywhere. I'm willing to give you anything."

"Are you scared in the middle of the night?"

Ji Luo lay on the bed, looking at the girl in front of him whose cheeks seemed to be painted with tender red rouge, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Aren't you a child of the wilderness? You are always fearless. Why... do you want to escape from here?"

"Ji Luo, Longmen is too dangerous and too unfamiliar. It doesn't belong to us, and we don't belong here either."

Yeban couldn't describe the feeling that Longmen gave her. But she could say with certainty that Longmen welcomed everyone on the surface, but in reality would only accept a very small number of people.

Longmen is like a juicer, swallowing fresh fruits one by one, leaving all the juice and pouring the remaining residue into the trash can.

——That is, the lower city area.

"There are many peaceful countries in the middle of the night. Do you know why I came here?"

Ji Luo reluctantly raised his hand and tried to touch the girl, but he was unable to lift it that high. Ye Ban held his hand and placed it on her cheek.

"Because... you are from Yan country?"

"Oh~ Yes, and no. To be more precise, it should be called... culture."

Ji Luo came to the world of Terra and has been wandering in Ursus. There is a huge cultural gap between him and other people.

That is the loneliness of a wanderer in a foreign land - his past only exists in his memory, and he will never see it again.

"Longmen really reminds me of my hometown. The clothing, food, and culture here all make me feel familiar and comfortable."

"So… you plan on staying here forever?"

Ye Ban rubbed Ji Luo's hand with her cheek. If she were the girl in the past, she would definitely leave Ji Luo and return to the wilderness alone.

But now she can't do it anymore.

"No, midnight. I'm just tired now. I'll rest here for a while. I won't forget that we still have an unfinished journey~"

"Well, I'll be with you wherever you go."

Ye Ban finally had the courage and qualifications to say this to Ji Luo. She looked down at Ji Luo, her eyes glowing in the darkness.

"Now, before our journey continues, I would love to accompany you on a killing spree."

"It's not that serious. I just wanted to give it a try, try to... leave something behind."

Ji Luo had seen so much sorrow and pain along the way that he thought he had become accustomed to it.

However, when Ji Luo saw that people with the same face as him lived worse than dogs, he was very angry.

So, he couldn't wait to do something and leave something behind. He didn't know what the outcome would be, and he didn't even care whether he would succeed.

He just wanted to...plant the seeds of sparks.

“The people of this world, this country, and this city have never been taught to rebel, have never seen revolution, and have never shed blood for their ideals.”

Ji Luo raised his right hand and slowly clenched it into a fist, as if to show the meaning of unity.

"A man can endure darkness if he has never seen the light - now I will bring the light and ignite the spark in people's eyes."

"So, this is... the real meaning of your establishment of a 'safe zone' in the lower city?"

Ye Ban looked at Ji Luo with sparkling eyes, her heart full of joy. The reason why she rejected the city of Longmen was largely because Ji Luo hid his true self after arriving in Longmen.

——He was restrained, disguised, and silent. It was not so much that he was cautious as that he was afraid of something.

But now, the Ji Luo she was familiar with was back.

"Come on, at midnight, let's burn this city to ashes!"

Chapter 70: Like Her, Like Me

What exactly Ji Luo and Ye Ban planned that night has become an unsolved mystery. What people know is that the business of Liming Toy Company has begun to accelerate...

At dawn, Ji Luo called Sulter and calmed the girl down, preventing her from burning Longmen to ashes.

Even though Ji Luo tried to dissuade her again and again, Sulter still rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, Ji Luo had fallen into a deep sleep again. All she could do... was wait and protect him.

Chen came again at noon the next day. It was the first time she met Surtel. Neither of them had any feelings for each other because they didn't even talk.

In the ward, Surtel held Levadin in his arms, guarding Ji Luo like a tree or a branch.

Until Ji Luo woke up, she never left the intensive care unit, always waiting and guarding.

During this period, many people came to see Ji Luo. Chen came the most often, and every time he came, he would buy a lot of things.

Jiu came less frequently. She tried to chat with Surtel, but unfortunately there was no response.

The three people from Penguin Logistics have also come here many times. They seem to be really free and even use the ward as a resting place.

——After all, the fruits and cakes Chen bought were all expensive and delicious. Which girl could stand such a test?

Surtel's attitude towards these people was neither to welcome nor to drive them away, but to calmly ignore them.

In fact, she never spoke a word to the visitors, which made the Angel suspect that she was mute.

Until one day, Penguin Logistics happened to be there and walked into the ward in the middle of the night and brought ice cream to Starr, and the two chatted for a while.

Only then did the Penguin Logistics trio realize that Surtel could really speak, and his voice was very pleasant.

After that, Exiah tried to pester Texas and talk to Surtur, but eventually gave up in frustration.

Because, every time there were other people around, Surtel would always stay by Ji Luo's side and watch over Ji Luo.

It seemed that he was the only one in her eyes, and he seemed to be the only one in her world. She was silent, didn't eat or drink, and was wary of every visitor. Only at midnight could she relax.

But… just relax.

Every day, the ice cream is delivered to Startel by takeout, using the Dawn Toy Company’s public account and counted as a caregiver’s salary.

Every day when she eats ice cream, which is probably the happiest time for Starr, she will lie down next to Ji Luo, turn on the TV, watch her favorite anime, and talk to Ji Luo.

Although the girl never received a response, she felt safe and warm.

When waiting and waiting become a beautiful thing, everything in reality seems to be fading away. The chaos in the world is like a storm outside the window and has nothing to do with them inside the house.

Midnight came more frequently in the first few days, but then she became busy and came less and less frequently.

Of course, it could also be that when she saw Surtel like this in the middle of the night, she realized the purity that she could not compare to, so she... stopped trying to fight for it.

The relationship between Surtel and Jiluo is a simple and pure one. Both of them are sure that they will not leave each other, so they are never in a hurry. They just wait for time to pass and for everything to happen naturally.

Surtel didn't care what Ji Luo became. Just like now, Ji Luo was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, unable to say a word, and she didn't have any negative emotions.

The girl was just waiting and guarding him, which was a kind of happiness for Surtel, so she lived quietly and peacefully on this isolated island with only Ji Luo and her.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning in front of Surtel.

In the girl's heart, everything still stopped at that morning, when Ji Luo made her noodle soup, cucumber salad, and sweet and sour peanuts.

When he left, sunlight came in through the half-open door, and he stood in the light, smiling extremely happily.

Soon, he will come back, and everything will be the same as before, just like he pushes the door and walks in, saying, "I'm back."

Standing in front of such a Sulter in the middle of the night, I felt ashamed.

Of course, she also likes Ji Luo, but what she longs for is a grand life, to travel around the world with him, to share life and death with him, and to never leave him.

She needed him, desired him, loved him, not only as a person, but also for his kindness, his steadfastness, his nobility... and everything about him.

Yeban thought that her love for Ji Luo was no less than that for Surtel.

But... with Surtel in this state, how could she compare with him? How could she possibly be his match?

——In her world, he is the only innocent person left. It has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong, but simply because he is the sum of her life and everything in her memory.

It was a little morbid and a little twisted, but for Surtel, who had lost her past, she only felt peace of mind and...happiness.

Every visitor, whether it was Jiu, Chen, or Texas, initially thought that Startel was strange and even suspected that she might have a mental problem.

However, after meeting each other again and again, every girl couldn't help but envy Surtel like this.

——How wonderful it is to have someone who is so important to you.

Therefore, even though they had never had any conversation, the girls' attitudes towards Surtel gradually changed.

Sartel gradually let down her guard. She even read the novel recommended by Angelica and added Croissant as a friend in the game.

Ji Luo's deep sleep is like a whale falling. Although he has lost his role in life, the changes he brought have been affecting everyone.

Among them...midnight is the worst.

After Ji Luo left, the entire Dawn Toy Company was completely handed over to Ye Ban.

The company suddenly lost a quarter of its people, including the most important president, who had to work overtime day and night in the middle of the night while enduring the days without Ji Luo.

In order to avoid unrest among the people, Ye Ban did not tell Xuezhi and Ansuo the truth, but only said that Ji Luo had important things to do and had temporarily left Longmen.

Every time I saw the two of them, I had to endure the pain and fatigue in the middle of the night, cheer myself up, and pretend that everything was going well.

But in fact, if it were not for Chen's help, the business performance of Dawn Toys Company would not only fail to move forward, but would regress significantly.

Of course, everything was in Ji Luo and Ye Ban's plan. If Chen had been following Ji Luo's lead in this business before, he would have just done his best.

So now, all of Chen's guilt and desire to make amends for Ji Luo's inability to wake up are put into the company.

Dawn Toys Company took off.

Chapter 71: Go and invite Ji Luo

The Longmen Guards took advantage of this attack to directly clean up the market in the upper city, and all the tentacles of the gangs in the lower city were cut off...

With Chen's support behind the scenes, Yeban made forceful appointments with some dealers. Without interference from other forces, the negotiations went very smoothly and the contract was signed that day.
