Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

Ji Luo raised his head pitifully, with a cowardly look on his face, which made Jiu laugh so irritatedly.

"Ji Luo, I was wrong too. I didn't expect you to be so good at this."

Jiu pointed at the person who was knocked away by Ji Luo in the distance, and kicked the unconscious gangster next to him, with a smile on his face that was gnashing his teeth.

"These two people won't die, but they are destined to stay in bed for three months. You have a good grasp of the strength!"

"No... I was just fighting blindly... just risking my life."

Ji Luo was actually also surprised by the physique of the Super Terrans. Although he was not very good at close combat, he did not hold back just now. All his attacks were deadly, but he didn't kill any of them.

——Alas, it’s because his level is too low and he doesn’t have the power.

"Okay, stop being so naive. Get up and follow me to see the Rat King."

Jiu gave Ji Luo a cold look, feeling extremely frustrated. He wished he could punch Ji Luo twice right now.

When they met for the first time yesterday, she was taken advantage of by Ji Luo. Now that they met for the second time, she was directly taken advantage of!

Who is the Rat King? If people really meet him, few can remain safe and sound. Most will be skinned alive if not killed.

But Ji Luo, under her name, does his own thing. When he is held accountable, he brings her up again and hides behind her, pretending to be harmless!

The key is the degree, and he grasps it very accurately, which is very disgusting!

"Thank you, Sir Jiu. Without you... I..."

Ji Luo tried to shed a few tears, but unfortunately, his acting skills were not good enough and he couldn't cry at all. He could only sniff a few times out of grievance and emotion.

Quietly, Ji Luo moved to the side, stretched out his left hand, and carefully put the phone into his pocket.

"Hehe~Just wait for me."

Jiu gritted his teeth, as if he was really angry, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ji Luo's face.

"..."

Ji Luo didn't dare to resist. He suspected that Jiu might have discovered that he didn't take the phone she gave him, so he could only lower his head and pretend to be timid.

This time, there were five people who came to "invite" Ji Luo. Now two of them were lying unconscious, and one had a half-broken arm. They could only let two people with blood on their faces carry their companions and lead the way.

——The scene looked extremely miserable, as if someone had been tortured.

"Ji Luo, go and lend a hand."

"what?"

"Go ahead! Do you really want to make a mortal enemy?"

Jiu raised his hand and punched Ji Luo's shoulder. It looked like he was using a lot of force, but his strength was very light, as if he was doing it for others to see...

In Longmen, Jiu's position in the police security system is second only to Wei Yanwu.

Few people knew better than her the power and strength of the Rat King. She was certainly wary of the uncrowned king of Longmen, but she was definitely not afraid of him.

After all, Nine represents the official position and it is the most prestigious position. If she is afraid of the Rat King, then Wei Yanwu’s position may not be stable.

Therefore, the result of Jiu and the Rat King’s meeting this time is almost predictable... It will definitely be that Ji Luo will explain the situation, and then they will go their separate ways.

She must be fine, but what about Ji Luo - he has no official skin, and the Rat King is definitely capable of making him disappear silently.

Therefore, even if Ji Luo offended the Rat King, she had to be careful and at least let the Rat King give her some leeway and not kill her for her sake.

And this is also the reason why Ji Luo scared Jiu over.

Chapter 15: Rat King

Ji Luo was suddenly hit by nine hammers. At first he didn't understand what was going on, but after seeing the girl's eyes, Ji Luo instantly understood.

"Thank you."

Ji Luo knew that Jiu meant well, so he didn't do anything stupid like "I don't care" or "Let him do what he wants", which would have offended the enemy and hurt his own people.

Instead, he walked over, took the two wounded men over in a gentle manner, and carried them on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

Well, it's a bit like carrying a dead body.

Jiu walked beside Ji Luo, looking at his relaxed expression, and was a little suspicious about Ji Luo's race.

What the girl didn't tell Ji Luo was that she had found him long before Ji Luo and the thugs started fighting.

Yesterday at the dessert shop, Jiu didn’t see Ji Luo taking action, so this time, she made a point to observe.

Ji Luo had not received any systematic training in close combat, but he had a lot of combat experience, especially in fatal fights, which was almost a conditioned reflex.

This conclusion made Jiu curious about Ji Luo. What kind of growing environment and experience could make Ji Luo what he is now?

——Usually, his character is either greedy, cunning, or stupid, and he seems to be a good person with a lot of thoughts.

But once the fight begins, he will become ferocious and violent, without considering the consequences and without mercy. Every attack will result in losses for both sides, and every move will kill!

Could it be... the Agors?

Jiu had heard that there was a mysterious country in the deep sea. The people there had no racial characteristics and many of them had silver hair. They lived in seclusion and rarely walked on land.

"Ji Luo, what is your hometown like?"

"my hometown?"

Ji Luo didn't expect Jiu to ask this question. He thought about it and gave a vague answer.

"My hometown is very similar to Longmen, but also very different. It is very peaceful there, life is quiet and repetitive. Although there is capital exploitation, there is no class oppression. It's just... it's hard for poor people to make money."

"Why did you come out? It seems like you have been wandering in the wilderness for a year before that?"

"Maybe it's because... I'm particularly eager for change."

Ji Luo's response ended here. When Jiu tried to ask indirect questions afterwards, Ji Luo just brushed them off and did not reveal any more information.

In this atmosphere, the few of them walked for a while and came to an old warehouse. The gangster in front went in and reported, and then someone took the wounded away, and Jiu and Ji Luo were invited in.

There were only three people in the empty warehouse, and a gangster known as the "Rat King" was sitting on the only chair.

His hair and beard were all white, and he looked like a giant rat standing up. He seemed to be smiling, but his aura was very intimidating.

"It's true that heroes emerge from youth... We are all old now."

"You are not old at all~ We are too young."

Jiu spoke in the tone of a junior, but her expression was neither humble nor arrogant. She reached out and grabbed Ji Luo, pulling him behind her.

"Senior Rat King, this incident is a complete misunderstanding. Ji Luo is my informant. The reason why things got so messed up is all due to poor communication on my end. I have to apologize to you."

"Hahaha~ There's no need to apologize. It's my little brat's fault for making such a mess."

The Rat King poked the dragon-headed cane in his hand on the ground, then stood up from the chair. Jiu quietly poked Ji Luo, signaling him to speak, and Ji Luo finally spoke.

"Senior Rat King, please understand that I am not in the same group as that group. I was involved accidentally."

Ji Luo did not try to hide anything and told the whole story directly. This time, Ji Luo told the truth, even saying that he did not respond to Yue Chengwang's solicitation.

After the Rat King heard the whole story, the hostility between his brows disappeared and his expression became gentle, as if he had really resolved the misunderstanding with Ji Luo.

"Young man, you are very good..."

"No, I'm just too stupid."

Ji Luo heard the hint of the Rat King's recruitment, so he reiterated his "stupidity", which was also a repetition of the unspoken answer.

The Rat King turned his head to glance at Ji Luo without any expression, but the two people next to him looked at Ji Luo with cold eyes.

"Please forgive me, Rat King. Ji Luo is a straightforward person."

Jiu suddenly reached out and held Ji Luo's hand. Ignoring Ji Luo's surprised look, the girl smiled sweetly, a smile that was completely different from her usual one.

"It's just young people, I can understand."

The Rat King nodded and sat back in his chair. Jiu said goodbye at the right time and walked out of the warehouse with Ji Luo.

From beginning to end, Jiudu held Ji Luo's hand and never let go until they were far away from the warehouse. Then she let go of Ji Luo and looked at him seriously.

"Ji Luo, your tone, do you want to die?"

"Don't say that, I'm most afraid of death, okay!"

When Ji Luo was blown by the cold wind outside, he realized that his back was covered in sweat and he felt cold all over.

The Rat King was indeed a black emperor who could keep pace with Wei Yanwu and create the grand scene of Longmen with him. The pressure from him was so deep and powerful that it was really terrifying.

This is just momentum. In fact, the fighting ability of the Rat King is definitely not something that Ji Luo can contend with now. He can talk but does not take action. He still depends on Jiu's attitude.

"Rat King: Lin Gerui is indeed powerful, I guess he has collected a lot, and your face is also very powerful, Sir Nine."

Ji Luo wiped the sweat from his face and gave the girl a thumbs up. Jiu couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Luo's weak and stubborn appearance.

"Ji Luo, you performed very well. That's the Rat King, the Rat King of Longmen."

"Yeah, the Rat King of the Slums."

Ji Luo closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and finally calmed down.

Although in the game, the Rat King often acts like a retired old man, afraid of his wife and daughter, and will cheat if he can't win the game of chess.

But this is the reality. A character like the Rat King crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. Cruel and ruthless is not enough to describe his methods.

His wisdom and fighting power are not only top-notch in Longmen, but also awe-inspiring in the whole of Terra.

For such a legendary figure, he had already given Ji Luo a huge honor by recruiting him in person, but Ji Luo refused, which was a death offense.

——Low EQ: not giving face, high EQ: wanting to choose a colorful coffin.

"Ji Luo, you did a good job~"

Jiu suddenly reached out and pinched Ji Luo's cheek, then revealed an unusually happy smile.

After all... Ji Luo just rejected the Rat King without any room for negotiation, hesitation or mercy!

After the meeting, Jiuyi said that Ji Luo was his informant and his man, and wanted the Rat King to give him face, and everything would end there.

The Rat King did not intend to pursue the matter any further, but he turned around and recruited Ji Luo. This was not just about appreciating Ji Luo, he was also letting Qing Jiu off!

——Giving you one face, then taking away your face, that’s all.

Chapter 16: Thousand Faces

In Jiu's opinion, Ji Luo's answer was a slap in the face for her. Even if it was the second time to recruit him, even if you, the Rat King, said it to his face, he would refuse.

"Ji Luo, you performed very well this time. I will not pursue the whereabouts of the phone I gave you."

"Long live Sir Nine!"

Ji Luo immediately raised his hands to celebrate. Looking at the girl's happy expression, he suddenly understood how much pressure the existence of the Rat King put on her.

"By the way, what's the outcome of the scrapyard incident?"

"What else can it be? Just report it as a gas explosion. The Rat King's people were tricked this time, and there were many casualties. He will definitely retaliate in the future."

Jiu smoothed his long hair, put his hands in his pockets, and looked a little tired.

"As for old Rupert, all his men died, but he survived. However, his condition is very bad and he is being treated in the hospital. I don't know when he will wake up."

"That old man is not dead? He is really lucky."

Ji Luo had a very deep impression of old Rupert, and now hearing that he was not dead, he even felt a little sorry.

Jiu didn't notice Ji Luo's abnormality. She frowned and seemed to be struggling with something.

"Ji Luo, do you know [Thousand Faces]?"

"I heard from that old Luper that his master was committed to fighting against the infected."

"Heh~ He's just a criminal leader, but he speaks so nicely."

Jiu took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened an encrypted document, and handed it to Ji Luo.

"This Thousand Face first appeared in Ursus, about ten years ago. At that time, he often stole money from the rich and distributed it to the poor. He was called a chivalrous thief."

"Later, Ursus began to hunt him down. Somehow, Qianmian became an infected person. He escaped from Ursus and started committing crimes in different places. Later, he not only stole, but also robbed."

"After Qianmian became famous, many wanted criminals and desperate people gathered under his command and worshipped him as their leader. They claimed to be fighting for the infected, but in reality they were burning, killing, looting, and doing whatever it took for money."

Jiu's introduction was a bit vague, but after looking at the information, Ji Luo understood the situation.
