Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

Although the Emperor, the immortal penguin, does not show off in Longmen, the power he holds in his hands is far more than what it seems.

Now, Ji Luo has successfully reached a cooperation with the emperor, which is an extremely important insurance for the stability of the lower city.

After a few casual chats, Ji Luo ended his call with the Emperor. Then he immediately called the Rat King.

The uncrowned king of the downtown area immediately began to object when he learned that Ji Luo was going to leave with Chen.

However, Ji Luo didn't waste any more time talking to the Rat King and directly asked him to talk to Chen about the issue.

"Ha... whatever you like."

The Rat King hesitated for a moment, but he didn't contact Chen after all. He admitted that he couldn't stop this trip, and talked to Ji Luo about the arrangements for the next city.

The blockade of the Lower City District has lasted for nearly half a month, and Ji Luo's high-pressure tactics have demonstrated unparalleled effectiveness.

The crime rate in the slums, which were once in chaos, has dropped by more than 90 percent. A large number of gang members are staying at home and dare not even go out.

——The Fiery Demon God that Surtel incarnated completely frightened all those with ill intentions. Ji Luo's thunderous killings also laid a stable foundation.

Now, the use of the Dawn Potion has also been quite effective. In the end, about 30% of the people survived, and after a few days of recuperation, these people have also returned to work.

The Rat King has been watching Ji Luo, so he knows better than anyone how much change Ji Luo has brought to the downtown area!

With these as a foundation, the conversation between the two went exceptionally smoothly. The Rat King was even willing to send out his own troops to help advance subsequent plans, but was politely rejected by Ji Luo.

"For the time being, the Imperial Guard Bureau can stabilize the situation. If necessary, Yeban will personally ask for your help."

Ji Luo took the opportunity to promise certain benefits, exchanged a few words with the Rat King, and then hung up the phone.

Both parties were very satisfied with this communication. The sincerity and support shown by the Rat King clearly demonstrated the change in Ji Luo's status.

"This world is too real..."

Ji Luo leaned back in his chair, recalling his several encounters with the Rat King, and felt more and more the chaos of human nature.

Time was running out, so Ji Luo didn't feel too much. He called all the numbers in the phone book and made some general arrangements before leaving.

Colombia is to the west of Longmen, and the journey almost crosses half of the continent, passing through countries such as Kazdel, Syracuse, Lethania, and Casimir along the way.

Even if the shortest route on paper is taken, it will take at least a month. In reality, detours are inevitable and it may take more than two months.

By this calculation, the round trip would take four months. Even if things were resolved smoothly, it would take nearly half a year to return to Longmen.

"Ah... How can I tell this to Surtel?"

Ji Luo lay on the table, thinking about the possibility of not leaving Surtel behind, but no matter how he thought about it, the downtown area was in its current state and she couldn't be left behind.

Click~!

Because of Ji Luo's advance order, Feng Di didn't knock on the door this time and walked in directly.

"Ji Luo, you and Chen's identities have been forged. You are considered mercenaries with good reputation."

"Thank you."

Ji Luo reached out and took the information from Feng Di's hand, flipping through it a few times to confirm the key information.

Considering the impact on Longmen and the need for subsequent confidentiality, Ji Luo decided to leave quietly and follow the caravan to Colombia.

After a simple screening and investigation, Ji Luo finally chose a merchant group called Warren.

This caravan was founded ten years ago and has been traveling between Longmen and Columbia. They have a good reputation, are familiar with the entire route, and have guaranteed safety.

The only trouble is that the Warren Merchant Group has already completed the audit, and in three hours they will leave Longmen and set out on the journey back to Columbia.

With such a short preparation time, Ji Luo didn't have any better solution and could only try his best to avoid exposing his identity.

"Okay, that's it. Have you arranged to join the merchant group?"

"Yes, it has been arranged. However, the security of the merchant group has already been arranged, so I can only temporarily join a mercenary group and follow them."

When Feng Di talked about this, she looked a little uneasy. She had seen a lot of mercenary groups on the way to Longmen. She was afraid that Ji Luo and Chen would not be used to it if they were mixed in with them.

"Ji Luo, for the sake of confidentiality, I didn't tell the mercenary group about your and Chen's identities. They... might be annoying."

"Don't worry, I can handle this. Thank you for your hard work."

Ji Luo stood up from his chair, shook hands with Fengpi, and then announced an order, entrusting all the forces of the Longmen Guard Bureau in the lower city to her.

Fengpi didn't say anything extra, he just stood up and saluted Ji Luo.

"Just do your best in everything. When I come back, I'll celebrate for you~"

Ji Luo personally sent Bagpipe out the door, and then he began to organize the documents and files, but before he finished, he received a message from Surtel.

Facing the 'last big boss' before leaving, Ji Luo took a deep breath, locked all the drawers, and hurriedly walked out of the Guard Bureau's station...

The place that Surtel chose to meet was a newly leveled piece of land. This was the base of the Scaled Fish Gang that she demolished after she transformed into the Flame Demon.

In the future, this will be the first school in the lower town, and all children over the age of six will come here to receive free compulsory education.

"Sartre, what are you looking at?"

Ji Luo walked up to the Sarkaz girl, who was sitting on a pile of sand, staring at the empty land in a daze.

“Looking at the school of the future.”

Surtel turned her head and patted the sand beside her. Ji Luo sat down beside her naturally, not caring whether his clothes got dirty.

"Don't worry, this school will be built first. It should be completed in about half a year."

"When the time comes...will you be back?"

Surtel stared at Ji Luo, her purple eyes were calm and deep. She didn't seem to have much emotion, but the moving water color in her eyes was rippling slightly.

Ji Luo had never had any memory of Surtel crying, but at this moment, the girl looking at him was indeed about to cry.

"Ji Luo, Ye Midnight told me that if you were going out, you couldn't take us with you."

"Feel sorry……"

Ji Luo didn't know whether he should thank Ye Ban for saying something that was difficult for him to say, or should remember her for instigating Surtel to come over and launch an attack.

"I have to go to Columbia as soon as possible. I am really worried about Longmen here."

"..."

Surtel did not get the answer she wanted from Ji Luo. The girl turned her head away dejectedly and put her cheek on her knees.

"Ji Luo, when can you come back?"

"I will be back when... this school is built and the children start classes."

There were several times when Ji Luo wanted to give up and not care about the lower city area of ​​Longmen and just take Surtel on a long journey.

However, Ji Luo's rationality made him put an end to this idea. Surtel was not only safer at Longmen, but also the best solution at the moment.

"Ji Luo, what if you don't come back by then?"

"Then come find me."

Ji Luo knew Surtel so well that even if it made her feel uncomfortable, he knew the answer the girl wanted most.

"Sarter, if I don't fulfill the promise, you will kill all those who try to stop you, and cross thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of difficulties and dangers, to find me."

"Good~"

Surtel nodded vigorously, with an expectant smile on her face. She was never afraid of waiting for Ji Luo, she was just afraid of an endless and meaningless wait.

"Ji Luo, what happened that made you have to go to Columbia?"

"It's Tallulah. She wrote to me."

Ji Luo chose to remain silent to most people, but he told the truth to Chen, Yeban and Surtel.

"She told me that she has handed over the video of the Thousand Faces' natural disaster sacrifice to the chief of Rhine Life: Christen."

"Rhine Life?"

Surtel was too familiar with this name. Among the people who chased her and Ji Luo back then, Rhine Life was the craziest!

Ji Luo once said that Rhine Life Science is committed to the fields of life sciences, chemical manufacturing, and biological applications. Not only do they not shy away from human experiments, but they have a kind of fanaticism that has no bottom line.

A year ago, when Ji Luo was looking for a doctor for Surtel, he revealed that she had been poisoned by the Scourge Beast but was still not dead.

Upon receiving the news, Rhine Life immediately announced a reward of tens of millions, attracting countless mercenaries and bounty hunters, who chased after them like hyenas.

"Rhine Life, damn it."

"Don't worry, I'll destroy it completely."

Ji Luo dug his palms into the sand. Although he had a smile on his face, he looked extremely cold.

In the story of "Arknights", he can understand why they wantonly trample on human life and dignity for the sake of science and desire.

——But now, they are his enemies, and they must pay with blood!

Those bloody years of being hunted down have become Ji Luo's nightmare. Occasionally, on a quiet night, he would suddenly wake up and reflexively prepare to fight.

"Sartre, just as I said in my oath - no one can hurt us and be safe and sound."

"Well, I remember you said...they destroyed our lives."

"I will destroy their dreams."

"Not leaving any~"

Surtel narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his delicate face.

"Ji Luo, do you think Rhine Life will really perform natural disaster sacrifices?"

"One thousand percent."

Ji Luo rummaged through his pockets and handed the letter from Tallulah to Surtel.

"Tallulah wrote directly that she gave paid 'lessons' this time, and in exchange received funds and equipment worth nearly 100 million yuan. Rhine Life paid such a high price, could it be that they bought them for collection?"

"So, Tallulah told you this specifically because she wanted you to go find Rhine Life?"

After reading the letter, Sartel keenly sensed the hidden meaning in some of the words.

Tallulah knew better than anyone else how Ji Luo felt about the "Remains of the Star of Misfortune". After all, his name of Star of Misfortune was spread because of his ruthless killing.

Ji Luo could not tolerate natural disaster sacrifices. If anyone wanted to do so, he would stop them at all costs and kill everyone.

Therefore, Tallulah designed this conspiracy. She gave Rhine Life the method of natural disaster sacrifice, and Rhine Life would definitely perform the sacrifice.

Ji Luo, who knew all this, would cross half of the continent to save Rhine's life directly, even if he was in Longmen.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of Rhine Life, just the time spent on the journey would give Tallulah and her Integration Movement at least four months of safety.

"Ha... Apparently, Tallulah has some big plans."

Ji Luo had basically guessed what Tallulah wanted to do. He could tolerate her recklessness for the time being and stop her when necessary.

"Sarter, this is one of the reasons why I left you in Longmen. It may take me half a year to come back from Columbia. But in half a year, Tallulah may not be able to complete her plan. She will prepare more means to delay me."

"You mean...she will attack Longmen again?"

"She's not likely to do anything. But if I'm not here, she will definitely take the opportunity to make a hidden move at the dragon gate. When necessary, she will use it to prevent me from interfering in her chess game."

Ji Luo told Sartel about the organization "Snake Shed" and the situation of the integration movement cadre "W".

The Sarkaz girl nodded, gaining a better understanding of the current situation.

"Ji Luo, what should I do?"

"Pretend to ignore them for now, make preparations secretly, and wait for the opportunity."

Ji Luo deliberately left the 'W' in order to gather this group of people together and wipe them out in one fell swoop later.

"it is good."

Surtel really wanted to stay with Ji Luo forever, but she also understood that as Ji Luo's first apostle, there were some things that she had to do and some responsibilities that only she could bear.

The girl tilted her cheek and looked at the person she loved most, looked at his determined eyebrows and eyes, licked the edge of his teeth with the tip of her tongue, and his bright red lips were shining.

"Ji Luo."

"Ok?"

"When you come back, let's have a baby."

"what?!"

Ji Luo's eyes widened in shock, but before he could say anything, the girl sealed his words with her lips.

While gasping for breath... the girl conveyed her nostalgia and sadness to him in a passionate kiss.
