Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"Team leader, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm...fine."

Jiuya took a deep breath as if in pain, feeling a little irritable. Chen was a very sensitive person, so her attention had to be diverted. She couldn't be allowed to think too deeply about this matter!

"Chen, that Ji Luo is a dragon fanatic and a complete horn lover. He... might have set his sights on you!"

"what?!"

Chapter 06: Home is a house or people

Some experts once said that housing prices are the primary productive force.

In Longmen, a mobile city-state based on commerce, housing prices have become as expensive as gold.

For an ordinary family, even if three generations work together to save money, they still cannot afford to buy a house of their own.

Renting a house is the only option for most people in Longmen.

There are all kinds of housing at all prices and types on the market. As long as you can pay enough rent every month, everyone can live comfortably.

But on the other hand, if you don’t have money, then Longmen has no place for you.

"It's such a remote and shabby place, and the house is so small, and it costs two thousand yuan a month. It's a waste~"

Standing in front of the building where he rented, Ji Luo once again felt the disparity in the world and... the deformity of capitalism.

It is a monster born from human desires, built up from evil and cruelty, and it eats people.

Without shedding blood or leaving any bones, they directly use housing, medical care, food and education as their pretexts and loans of various names as their teeth to feast on those who have nothing.

"Damn it! One day, I will hang every one of these capitalists from the street lamps!"

Ji Luo lowered his head and walked into the dilapidated tube building. The anger in his heart was not directed at a certain person, but at this world.

Before traveling through time, Ji Luo was ordinary and common.

When I was in school, I stayed in Internet cafes alone and studied hard before exams.

After going to work, I work from nine to five and barely survive.

He has never been a cynical person, nor will he become arrogant and want to change the world just because he suddenly gains power.

It’s just... the people at the bottom of this world are so miserable!

The most tragic words Ji Luo had ever seen were probably those in history books: There was a great famine and people were eating each other.

But during the year he wandered around the Terra world, what Ji Luo saw was - hell on earth!

True despair does not need words. Those helpless, painful, and numb eyes will make your heart throb just by looking at you.

In the mines of the frozen land of Ursus, the infected were thrown in like fuel and firewood, and human lives were equated with corpses.

In the wilderness of Kazdel, the mercenaries lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Weapons and lives were all they had, and killing had neither meaning nor reason.

Among the prosperous buildings of Longmen, capital has invaded and engulfed everything. The superiors watch and indulge in indifference, allowing people's value to be simply converted into money.

"In Longmen, those who have money to rent a house are called civilians. Those who have no money and want to sleep on park benches or under bridges are called vagrants. And in the upper city... there are no vagrants."

Ji Luo suddenly remembered this sentence of a certain disaster messenger when she evaluated Longmen, and her sarcastic smile at that time.

Wei Yanwu, who controlled Longmen, mercilessly crammed the infected and impoverished ordinary people into the lower city, turning the small plot of land into a cage.

As a result, Longmen Shangcheng District is bright and beautiful, commercially prosperous, open and inclusive, like an utopia, attracting capital and businessmen from all over the world.

And the price is the blood and tears of the lower class people.

"Alas~ I am clearly living a miserable life, but I just can't bear to see the suffering in the world..."

Ji Luo stopped in front of the rented house, took a deep breath, then took out the key and opened the door.

The lighting in the tube-shaped building is not very good and the ventilation is also relatively poor, so the house is damp, and there are spots of mold growing between the walls and cracks. The old furniture also has a rotten smell.

When renting the house, the contract stated that the house was 50 square meters, but after removing the common area, it was actually just a small house of 40 square meters.

Apart from the small toilet and kitchen, there is only a main house that combines a bedroom and a living room.

"Ji Luo, I'm back."

In the faint sunlight, a beautiful Sarkaz girl lay quietly on the bed, holding a notebook with many drawings and notes in her hands.

The girl’s red hair was like fire, her purple eyes were calm and deep, and the hem of her black skirt had layers like a flower bud.

The dark-colored over-the-knee socks wrapped around the girl's tender legs. The top of the socks was a two-ring leather belt that slightly dug into the girl's leg flesh, making her look delicate and sexy.

What is heartbreaking is that the girl's face is very pale, and her left forearm and right calf are both bandaged and plastered, obviously she has serious injuries.

Ji Luo walked to the bed, put down the bag of potatoes, and carefully took out the tightly wrapped ice cream.

"Something happened today and we couldn't open for business, so I came back early."

"Are you OK."

Surtel frowned slightly, and looked at Ji Luo carefully with his oppressive vertical pupils, as if he wanted to find the wound on his body and then retaliate for him many times over.

"Sartre, I'm fine. I've been careful."

Ji Luo looked at the girl's solemn brows, and warm emotions overflowed in his heart. He opened the thermal packaging, revealing the cake-style ice cream inside.

"Clang clang~ Today I went to the dessert shop with the highest rating in Longmen, and this is my trophy!"

"That store you mentioned before? It seems very expensive..."

Sartel never cared about money in the past. She loved eating ice cream so it didn't matter if she spent all her money on ice cream, as long as she enjoyed it.

However, at this moment, although the delicious ice cream was right in front of her, the girl did not even look at it. She just stared at Ji Luo with a serious expression.

"Ji Luo, where did you get the money?"

"Uh...Sarter, I made a lot of money today, and also...it was an unexpected windfall."

"say clearly."

Sulter put down the record book in his hand and crossed his arms over his chest, obviously intending to listen carefully to Ji Luo's explanation.

However, what the girl didn't notice was that this posture made the whiteness of her chest look fuller. Ji Luo's eyes were swaying and he couldn't help but sneak a peek.

"Sarter, it's really nothing. There was a car accident at the intersection today and my stall was hit..."

"detail."

Sartel closed his eyes and leaned his head against the head of the bed, looking like he was taking a nap.

But Ji Luo, who was familiar with her, understood that the girl was serious. He didn't dare to hide it anymore and quickly told her the details.

——Due to an accident, his stall was destroyed by people from Penguin Logistics, and then people from the Longmen Guard Bureau helped to get compensation.

Everything is reasonable, rational and legal. No one is harmed and no one suffers injustice.

"Ji Luo, I can imagine that you didn't tell the whole truth. I won't delve into it, but... you have to promise me."

After listening to Ji Luo's story, Sultel did not ask any more questions. He just opened his eyes and looked at Ji Luo seriously.

"If anything happens, you must tell me immediately. As long as you decide to fight, I must be present."

"Of course, Surtel. I never forgot... This is our agreement."

Ji Luo answered firmly, making the girl relax again. She turned her body slightly and fixed her gaze on the luxurious ice cream, her eyes sparkling as if they were shining.

"Ji Luo, can I eat ice cream like this every day in the future?!"

"Sartre, how about...you eat me."

Chapter 07: Hibernation before Dawn

"what?"

Surtel blinked in confusion, not understanding the deeper meaning of Ji Luo's words. Ji Luo looked at the girl's silly expression and burst out laughing.

"Try it first to see if it tastes good, don't just pretend~"

Ji Luo stood up and got a towel and a spoon, held the ice cream box in his hand with the towel as a cushion, then scooped out a large piece of ice cream with strawberries and fed it to Surtel.

“Ah…mmmm…mmmm~mmmm!!!”

Because there was too much ice cream in the spoon, Surtel had to open his mouth as wide as possible, but unfortunately the girl's mouth was very small, and even though she tried very hard, there was still a streak of white stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Chewing the cold strawberries and cream, Sartel's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even nodded vigorously, obviously very satisfied with the taste.

"Sure enough... the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive."

Ji Luo looked at the girl's happy expression, fed her another spoonful, then took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Ji Luo, you should try it too, it's really delicious."

"is it?"

Ji Luo pretended to be confused and ate a big spoonful of ice cream. He was obviously afraid of wasting it and licked the spoon clean.

"It tastes really good. I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Surtel's single-threaded thinking was already filled with the taste of the ice cream. She was eating it so happily that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Ji Luo looked at the girl's happy face with a smile on his face. Occasionally he would eat a spoonful, which felt sweet to his taste buds and heart.

"Sartre, this is the last bit. Do you want to take a nap after eating?"

"I won't eat, I want to sleep."

The girl looked a little sleepy and her voice became softer. Ji Luo finished the rest of the ice cream in a few bites, tidied the bed, picked up Surtel and put her on the pillow.

"Ji Luo, what are you going to cook tonight?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Eat... fried ribs."

"Okay, when you wake up, we'll have fried ribs."

Ji Luo covered Surtel with a blanket, sat by the bed, and watched her gradually fall asleep, only then did he feel relieved...

Almost all humans in the world of Terra are sub-humans with animal characteristics. They have extremely strong bodies and recover from injuries very quickly.

But Surtel's problem was not the external injuries on her body, but the toxins in her body.

The deadly poison of the scorpion-shaped natural disaster beast was constantly corroding her body, and the girl's powerful recovery ability was also constantly repairing the damage caused by the poison.

Now, a delicate balance has been reached between the two. The wounds on Surtr's body cannot be healed, but the damage caused by the poison will not be aggravated.

However, the girl now tires very easily, often feels sleepy, and needs to sleep more than fifteen hours a day.

Before, in order to solve the toxin in Surtel's body, Ji Luo had consulted many doctors and tried various methods, but they were all ineffective and even attracted covetousness.

The status of the natural disaster behemoth in this world is almost equal to that of the ancient gods. The only difference between the two is time.

Although... the time difference is very long.

It can be said that the poison of the Scourge Beast is itself a maddening treasure. Add to that a Sarkaz who is poisoned and still alive, the result can be imagined.

During that time, Ji Luo killed a lot of people... mercenaries, bounty hunters, lackeys of various companies, there were people looking for them and chasing them everywhere, and they couldn't kill them all.

Fortunately, although Surtel was weak at the time, he was not completely without combat power. Once Levatin was activated, the Fire Demon killed everyone in the area, but the duration was shortened a lot.

Of course, the bounty hunter Yeban, who was hired by Ji Luo at a high price, also played a very important role.

Without her, Ji Luo and Surtel would not be able to deal with so many traps and sneak attacks.

Thinking about it this way, Ji Luo felt quite guilty towards Ye Ban. She had safely sent the two of them to Longmen, but he couldn't afford to pay her a commission, so he could only appease her by incurring debt plus interest...

Now, Ji Luo no longer wants to take Surtel to see a doctor. He plans to live a stable life in Longmen first, and then find a way to upgrade his level to level three.

As long as he obtains the second skill of the Angel of Justice, "Starfall Grace", the injuries and poisons on Surtr's body can be easily healed.

"Ah... I'm used to Angel's E at level 1 and Q at level 2. She's too quick to add skill points. I never thought that W, a healing skill, is so crucial in real life."

Ji Luo scratched his hair in annoyance and glanced at the attribute panel out of habit.
