Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"Chen, that's not what I meant."

"Xingxiong, I understand. To be honest, the natural disaster storm created by Qianmian is far more terrifying than you can imagine. I am very lucky to be able to walk out of it alive. Compared to those who can't come back, I just got oripathy, which is already good enough."

Chen suddenly took off the long sword from his back and threw it to Xingxiong. Xingxiong looked at Chen in surprise, not knowing why she wanted to give her the weapon issued by the Guard Bureau.

"Chen, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to carry this knife anymore."

Chen placed Chi Xiao on his lap and gently stroked the patterns on the hilt.

"I carried two swords before because I couldn't pull out the Scarlet Sky. Now... I can use the Scarlet Sky at will, so there is no need to carry a second sword."

"No, I don't believe your answer."

Xingxiong clearly sensed the change in Chen's attitude, and she didn't believe the reason was so simple. But a certain possibility was so absurd that she couldn't understand it.

"Chen, are you planning to...leave?"

"Uh... not yet. But in the future, I will definitely leave."

"Why! Chen, your uncle is the executive officer of Longmen. Everyone knows about his training of you!"

Xingxiong had heard a lot of rumors. Everyone said that Chen was the future governor of Longmen, otherwise Wei Yanwu would never indulge her so much.

"In the future... you will be able to control the Dragon Gate!"

"Maybe, it's possible, but I don't care about it."

Chen hung Chi Xiao around his waist and stood up from the bed again, his posture tall and pretty.

"Xingxiong, I am an infected person. The place where I live must be a place where the infected can live and work in peace. Longmen cannot become like that, so I chose to leave and find my place to settle down."

"Chen, the infected person or something is not the reason! It's that Ji Luo, right!"

"Half and half. It's because of my identity and Ji Luo."

"Why? Chen, are you stupid? Can feelings be eaten as food? Or can they cure your illness?"

"No, but I can clearly feel that he likes me and loves me."

Chen has always been known for her perseverance. She enforces the law with dignity and solemnity, and is also methodical when resting, like a robot.

However, she is also a human being, a young girl. Her mother died early, her father abandoned her, her sister was kidnapped by evil people, and her uncle was strict with her.

It’s not that no one cares about her, but there is no one who truly and purely likes and loves her.

"Xingxiong, I have even forgotten what my parents look like. I have no idea what my blood-related sister is like. I... have always been alone."

"..."

Xingxiong looked at Chen, whose eyes were filled with tears, and something in his heart suddenly tugged. Humans are social animals, and no one can live alone.

As for Chen, she pursues her ideal like a machine, which is actually an exploitation of herself. She has been holding on, but she will always reach her limit.

"Chen, I'm sorry, I..."

"Xingxiong, you don't have to apologize. Instead, I want to thank you. Really, thank you for your companionship and help over the years."

Chen reached out to wipe away her tears, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have become a tearful person since she met Ji Luo.

She...finally let go of the burden in her heart and became able to face her own weakness and cowardice calmly.

"Don't worry, I will leave, but not so quickly. At least... I will take care of the problems in the downtown area."

"Chen, be careful and don't be fooled by Ji Luo. How do you know that he really likes you?"

"Because, when you like someone, you can't hide it."

Chen could feel Ji Luo's covetousness when they first met. Now that they lived under the same roof, Ji Luo no longer hid his feelings for her. Often, when he looked at her, he would smile happily, like a fool.

"Xingxiong, don't worry, I'm not blinded by love. Ji Luo is also an infected person, we are... the same."

"That's good."

Xingxiong clearly felt that the "same" Chen mentioned was not simply referring to the matter of mineralogy.

She actually wanted to stop Chen from doing stupid things, and she also had a lot to say to her, but now, looking at Chen with a serene smile, she suddenly felt that those words were meaningless.

"Chen, Longmen will always be your home. If you need my help at any time, just ask me directly."

"Well, I will."

Chen nodded, very happy that he had the opportunity to talk to Xingxiong like this. Or rather, there was such a perfect opportunity to be frank and say goodbye clearly.

"Xingxiong, thank you."

"Well, I'll go first."

Xingxiong responded softly, then turned around, picked up his shield, pushed the door open and walked out of the ward.

"..."

Chen watched Xingxiong leave quietly. She reached into her pocket, took out her cell phone, and opened the chat box with Ji Luo.

The girl typed a few lines, then quickly deleted them. Then she wrote another paragraph, then hesitated and deleted it completely.

In the end, Chen just asked what to eat tonight.

——We’re having a big dinner tonight!

Ji Luo did not send a long love message, he just wrote a line of words and sent a funny picture. Chen looked at the short text and smiled naturally.

You can never hide your love for someone. If he also happens to like you, then the ordinary and daily life will be beautiful.

"Fool."

Chen put his phone in his pocket and reached out to wipe the tears from his cheeks, but he couldn't wipe them away. The girl squatted on the ground, buried her head between her knees, and cried silently.

In this world, there are joys and sorrows, love and hate, illness and suffering, thousands of things that are hard to let go, and thousands of ways to say goodbye, but in the end... it's just ordinary.

Ding ding ding~!

Suddenly, Chen's cell phone rang. The girl looked up, saw Wei Yanwu's name, took a deep breath, and then - rejected the call.

"Let's talk about these things face to face."

Chen sent the message to his uncle, then went to the bathroom to wash his face and tidy up his clothes.

When Chen came out of the hospital, she turned back into the head of the Special Inspection Team of the Longmen Guard Bureau, a senior police superintendent known to everyone in Longmen.

Not long after, Chen once again stood at the door of Wei Yanwu's office. Compared to her past nervousness and anxiety, she was much calmer this time.

Wei Yanwu, on the other hand, had lost his usual calmness and concentration. He looked at the girl who pushed the door open and walked in, his dragon-shaped face filled with anger.

"Chen, what's going on!"

"I survived the disaster, but at the cost of contracting oripathy."

Chen's heart was calm, and there was no emotion in his words. Wei Yanwu looked up at his niece, and for a moment he even felt a sense of strangeness.

"Chen, what are you thinking?"

"I want to take care of the downtown issues first, then... go for a walk."

"what?!"

Wei Yanwu slammed the table, his eyes widened. He was more angry than shocked.

"Did that Ji Luo drug you? There are natural disasters and man-made disasters outside, wars and chaos, why don't you go out for a walk? Where are you going? "

"I don't know. I just want to find a place for the infected people to stay."

"Who said Longmen can't accommodate you!"

"That's what everyone says."

"Can those people be the same as you!"

“Why are those people different from me?”

Chen's calmness and Wei Yanwu's temper formed a sharp contrast. This ancestor who controlled Longmen looked at the girl who did not retreat at all, and inexplicably felt that he had grown old.

"Chen, you have grown up. I believe you can handle many things."

"..."

"Over the years, I have indeed been very critical of you. You were not wrong in many things, but I still denied you."

"..."

"In fact, I have always wanted you not to follow the old path I have taken. But when I think about it, this is just my arrogance and prejudice. There is no right or wrong in many choices."

Wei Yanwu sighed deeply. He looked at the graceful Chen and thought of his sister and his best friend.

"Chen, if you really want to choose Ji Luo, I won't stop you. But... I hope you understand that when you love someone, you have to leave room for yourself."

Chapter 129: Lapland chooses to surrender temporarily

When Wei Yanwu finally gave up his stubbornness and began to face up to Ji Luo's existence, the protagonist of the incident was eating noodles at a roadside stall.

Because too many chilies were added, Ji Luo's nose was running from the spiciness and he looked totally awful. However, he enjoyed the meal very much and even drank up the soup from the bowl.

"I'm full. It was a great meal~"

After paying the bill, Ji Luo wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, then lazily walked into the park. While waiting for someone, he found a bench and started to bask in the sun.

"It would be nice if I could live like this every day."

Ji Luo sniffed, reached into his pocket, and took out the "Heavenly Principle" that was compressed into the size of a dice by space.

This holy object, which is made of 'incomplete authority of justice' as the main material, 'remains of the evil star' as the embryonic body, and is forged with the holy flame of starlight, has not changed much compared to when it was first born.

But now, within a certain range, human beings' desire and belief in justice will be absorbed by it.

At the same time, "Heavenly Principle" will continue to forge itself with the power of faith, and will eventually complete its shaping and achieve perfection.

According to Ji Luo's observations, the range of this absorption can probably cover the entire Longmen, and the possibility of further expansion in the future cannot be ruled out.

The current "natural law" does not yet have thoughts, but after it is formed, it may give rise to a vague consciousness, similar to the existence of intelligent AI.

At that time, "heavenly justice" is likely to respond to strong beliefs - if there is a real desire for justice, it will most likely come.

Of course, as the creator of "Tianli", Ji Luo even used the main material cut from his body, so he must have absolute control over it.

It will never happen that in the middle of a fight, "Heavenly Justice" flies away and runs away to uphold justice for others.

"My boy, grow up well. In the future, we will rely on you to fight those ancient gods."

Ji Luo took "Tianli" and rubbed it on his clothes, then happily put it in his pocket, full of wonderful expectations.

Ding ding ding~!

At this time, Ji Luo's cell phone rang. Ji Luo quickly answered the call and informed the other party of his location.

Not long after, Surtel walked closer leisurely, and Lappland followed behind her. When she saw Ji Luo, she bared her teeth in anger.

"Yo~ Lappland, have you had enough fighting?"

"Ji Luo!!!"

Lapland looked at Ji Luo with gritted teeth. Thinking of her own miserable experience, she wanted to beat him up immediately.

This damn Ji Luo, I don't know what means he used before, but he made her have a long and painful dream.

If she had not been strong enough, she would have almost lost herself in the dream and died in despair and self-blame.

However, she finally woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the bagpipe with whom she had fought.

But before Lappland could stand up and fight again, she was delivered into the hands of this Sarkaz.

The nightmare...begins from here.

This Sarkaz named Surtur is sick, very sick!

She saw herself waking up, and without saying a word she summoned a fire demon and began a one-sided beating and ravage.

What's even more infuriating is that she asked if she was convinced while beating him. As the former godmother of the mafia, how could Laplande be convinced? She had to resist.

But... in the end, Lapland saw the situation clearly. She couldn't beat this crazy woman, and she wouldn't kill her. If she continued to be stubborn, she would only get beaten.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lapland had no choice but to surrender. She secretly decided to find a chance to escape and take revenge later!

"Ji Luo, just wait for me!"

Laplande had already started beating Jiluo in her mind. She imagined Jiluo's painful expression begging for mercy, and she felt inexplicably happy.
