Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

The noisy battlefield became quiet, the crowds dispersed, and soon they were scrambling to escape.

——The hearts of people that were united by an old man collapsed at this point.

Ji Luo stood in the rain, leaning on his spear, with a solemn expression. Midnight came over, covered in moisture, looking at Ji Luo anxiously.

"Ji Luo, everything that was supposed to happen has happened. They have seen everything that just happened."

"That's enough. Let them clean up the place and camp here tonight."

Ji Luo inserted the spear into the rock next to him, half a foot deep, then he turned and left, disappearing into the darkness raging with thunder...

Chapter 76: Surter's Kidney Shot

In the rainstorm, Ji Luo released the Holy Flame to heal his injuries. The high temperature of the flame continued to evaporate the rain, making him surrounded by mist.

Surtel walked beside Ji Luo, his expression hidden under his hood, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Ji Luo, are those people you came to find in the middle of the night reliable?"

"Those people are used to helping whoever wins. As long as we make them believe that we can win, they will be reliable."

Ji Luo actually didn't expect that asking Chen to help recruit people would have such a good effect.

Because of Chen's guarantee, more than a hundred Longmen natives who moved to the lower city area joined Yeban's army.

Yeban followed his previous plan and used the direct sales model in the downtown area to bundle the people and gave them some benefits to keep them coming back temporarily.

But in the lower city, it all comes down to strength. So today, Ji Luo took this opportunity to let them see it.

“Ji Luo, these people… are very weak. Are they really useful?”

Surtel never thought she was very powerful, but she was able to kill all of the more than a hundred people without any harm.

With such combat effectiveness, we're afraid of accidentally hurting them in a fight. Can they really be a help?

"Sarter, the outcome of a battle is determined by force. But the outcome of a war is far more than that. Although the superiors hold power, the ordinary people are the foundation of the city."

Ji Luo was very happy that Sartel could think of these things. Although the girl often seemed to care about nothing, most of the time, she was actually thinking silently.

"I never thought that I could really start a so-called revolution in Longmen, but we can sow the seeds of thought and give future children more choices."

"..."

Surtel frowned, thinking about the deeper meaning of Ji Luo's words, but unfortunately, she still didn't quite understand.

"Ji Luo, you are really amazing."

"Really? I don't think so. I just stood on the shoulders of giants. At that time, just like now, resistance and courage need to be passed on and grow."

Ji Luo had already used the Holy Flame to heal his wounds. He reached out and held the girl's hand. The Holy Flame then attached itself to Surtel's body and evaporated the rain for her.

"Jiro, is Tallulah's failure because she doesn't understand this?"

"Tallulah's failure... is inevitable."

Ji Luo really didn't expect that Surtel would mention Tallulah here. He turned his head, and the girl's pure eyes looked at him, as if they were memories passing through the rain and bead curtains.

"Tallulah's upbringing and education policy determined her personality, character, and principles. She is too pure to even understand the chaos of human nature or the suffering of this land. More importantly -"

"What is it?"

Surtur remembered clearly that in the frozen wasteland of Ursus, Tallulah always followed Jilo like a student. She studied seriously and hard, and everyone respected her.

"Tallulah, she is not the kind of revolutionary who would accept the sacrifice of her loved ones for the realization of her ideals. She is not prepared for the sacrifices in the struggle at all."

"Ji Luo, you know all her problems, so why... don't you stay and help her?"

Surtel finally revealed her true colors. Her question sounded reasonable and casual, but Ji Luo, who had just been killing everyone, suddenly took a breath of cold air, as if a dagger had pierced his kidney!

"Because... I promised you a long time ago that I would travel with you~"

Ji Luo held the girl's hand tightly, as if to confirm his answer. Sultel looked at him with a cute and warm smile.

"Ji Luo, I'm very happy."

"Just be happy, always be happy."

"Ji Luo, actually just now, Ye Ban also wanted to come over and join the battle with Qianmian."

Surtel took a deep breath and nervously held Levadin tightly, as if she was at a loss when she first saw the Scourge beast.

"However, I rejected her. I asked her to... lead those people and complete your arrangements."

"Well, that's good. Isn't this good~"

Ji Luo was clearly wrapped in the warm holy flame, but at this moment, he felt a chill on his back, as if rain had seeped into his collar.

"Jiluo, I did it...right?"

Surtel didn't know why his answer was so different from the past.

She had just thought about it all the way and felt that because Ji Luo had been in a coma for half a month and had not spoken to her properly, she wanted to talk to him alone for a while.

"No problem! Fighting against the Thousand Faces means facing the natural disaster beast. Safety in the middle of the night cannot be guaranteed. What you said... is very correct."

Ji Luo clearly felt that Sart's offensive ability was a bit too strong today, and he was vaguely unable to withstand it.

However, he knew very well why the girl was like this, and he could even say that he was very apologetic.

"Sarter, I'm sorry, I slept for half a month for no apparent reason."

Ji Luo apologized in a soft voice, but he could feel the girl holding his hand tightly, as if punishing him for acting on his own.

"Ji Luo, there won't be a next time."

"Okay, there won't be a next time."

There are a lot of reasons and plans for Ji Luo's coma. It can even be said that in the past half month, he has gained a lot of benefits.

But at this moment, looking at Surtel's uneasy and sad eyes, Ji Luo really regretted it... regretted that he only thought about his own plan, regretted that he was impulsive, conceited, and acted carelessly.

"Sartre, I am so stupid. I have only been in Terra for a year and I have forgotten that I am also a loser."

"Yeah, I know, isn't that great?"

"Ah? What's good about that?"

"Fortunately, I met you."

Surtel suddenly turned his head, staring at Ji Luo with his purple eyes. The raindrops fell in front of her like a curtain, but they could not block the beauty and tranquility of the girl.

"Ji Luo, it's great to meet you. Even if I lose all my memories, I'm still grateful."

"Well, it's great to meet you. Even though I'm a loser, I'm lucky."

Ji Luo smiled, blinked, and raised his head, not letting the thousands of emotions lingering in his heart burst out.

He once thought that this world was great, but he would never come back in the next life.

Now, he was willing to turn into a stone bridge and endure five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, just for her to walk across the bridge.

"Ji Luo, we walked this road when we came to Longmen."

"Ah."

"But this time, I realized...it was so short."

The girl stopped and the heavy black sword in her hand fell to the ground with a dull sound. Ji Luo raised his head with her, his eyes passed through the heavy rain curtain, through the Longmen Pass in front, and saw the storm brewing in the distance.

"Sarter, as long as you want, I am willing to walk with you for the rest of your life."

Chapter 77: Young people must be vigorous

In the dark sky, the rain was pouring down. The emergency maneuver of the mobile city-state was about to begin, but there was still one passage that was passable among all the passages that should have been closed...

Chen stood at the edge of the building, waiting for Ji Luo's arrival. Her clothes were soaked and water kept dripping down.

"Mr. Chen, the gantry will start moving soon. The passage will be open for a maximum of fifteen minutes."

"I know. Come over when there are five minutes left."

Chen looked at the other person expressionlessly, which scared the person in charge who was still trying to persuade him, and he quickly turned around and left.

Beep beep~!

The cell phone rang again. Chen took out his phone and took a look at it. He hesitated for a long time before clicking the answer button.

"Changfen Long! Where have you been! *Longmen swears* Are you not going to take care of the Longmen Guard Bureau? You are dereliction of duty! Do you still want to do this job?"

"..."

Chen listened to Shi Huaiya's swearing calmly, and waited until the barbecued pork cat had finished venting before she replied indifferently.

"I'm at the city gate, something's going on."

"Rice Roll Dragon? What's wrong with you?"

Shi Huaiya thought that Chen would quarrel with her as usual, but Chen's hoarse and decadent voice scared her.

"Chen, Jiu is not here now. You are the pillar of the Longmen Guard Bureau. You have to stand up! If there is anything, we will solve it slowly. Don't think too much!"

"I'm fine, I just need to go out for a while."

Chen's voice was frighteningly calm, and one could even hear a gloomy and dead air in it. Shi Huaiya heard the sound of a door closing, and her voice was deliberately lowered.

"Chen, are you crazy?! A natural disaster is about to come, Longmen will immediately make emergency maneuvers. If you go out now, do you want to be left dead in the wilderness?"

"No, I just want to make up for my mistakes."

Chen didn't know what the inside story was, but she knew that the negotiations between Longmen and Qianmian were the main cause of the current situation.

As one of the persons in charge, this negotiation, this deal, this surrender, is her shame, and she must wash it away with blood.

The reputation of the Longmen Guards Bureau was forged with the youth and lives of those who sacrificed their lives and fought criminals without regrets, and it must not be tarnished!

"Chen, do you know something? Recently, there are rumors that our Longmen Guard Bureau and Qianmian have reached a peace agreement. Are you... going to do something stupid?"

"Shi Huaiya, I am clear-headed, clearer than ever before."

Chen slowly closed his eyes, recalling everything that had happened so far, and suddenly opened them at the most decisive moment.

At this moment, the girl's gaze was like a knife. The person in charge of the checkpoint standing outside was so scared that he took two steps back and sat down in the rain.

"Chen! Calm down, stay there and don't move. I'll be there soon! *Longmen swears* One by one, none of them are easy to deal with."

"Shi Huaiya, thank you."

Chen hung up the phone, pulled out a long knife from his back, and walked forward alone. The head of customs thought Chen was going to kill him, so he got up and ran away in fear.

However, the girl did not chase him. She walked into the rain, in the flashing lightning, and entered the control room of the checkpoint, and drove everyone out...

When people are young, they are always easily excited. They yearn for noble sacrifices and for the right things that they will never regret throughout their lives.

Chen has gradually passed that age, and she has experienced enough of the joys and sorrows, love and hate, separation and reunion of human beings in the Guard Bureau.

She learned to tolerate the wrong and understood that the law cannot protect everyone. It is just a means of compromise so that the victims will not choose extremes.

But even knowing this, the girl did not give up her belief. The justice she insisted on and fulfilled her duty was burning in her heart.

Just like now, she has no ability to save it all, but she knows who can save everything, and she is willing to pave the way forward for him, even if she dies, she will have no regrets!

Rumble~~~!

A burst of thunder rolled past, and the lights in the control room suddenly went out, leaving only the faint light of the instruments flickering.

"..."

Chen sat on a chair, leaning his hands on the long knife inserted into the ground, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in deep thought or taking a nap.

Beep beep~!

The cell phone rang again. Chen opened his eyes, looked at the caller's name, and answered the call.

"Chen, do you know what you are doing?"

"Sir, I am doing my duty."

Chen herself did not expect that facing Wei Yanwu's accusatory tone, she would be so relaxed and natural.

In her heart, her uncle was like a towering mountain. In front of him, she was always wrong and stupid, and seemed to be unable to do anything right.

But this time, Chen was unexpectedly calm. She knew that she was acting on impulse and that she should remain silent, but how could she just sit back and watch all this and sink into the darkness!

"Chen, what do you want?"
