The task assigned to Fiammetta by the Lateran Vatican was to supervise the behavior of his former teammate Mostima and to stop him from doing anything "out of line", but at the same time to protect his personal safety.
This was a contradictory task, which made Fiammetta unable to understand what the Pope's Office was thinking. However, as a Liberian, she did not have much resistance to the fallen angel Mostima, and was actually relieved to receive such a task.
Mostima quickly finished negotiating with Boss Qin and walked over on his own initiative.
"What a shame, looks like we'll have to find another place to live."
"Have you found out the reason for the incident?"
"Thanks to Remian's precious sister..."
Remuel and the two of them were once close teammates, but Mostima and Fiammetta didn't know much about Remuel's sister.
Right now, the Emperor is still busy dealing with the copyright infringement of his record in Columbia, and he won't be returning to Longmen in the short term... This should be good news, because Boss Qin seems to have some opinions about his bar. If he complains to the Emperor, then Xiao Lele, who has caused the trouble, will be in trouble.
Mostima frowned and picked up the phone and started typing again.
"Hello! This is Penguin Logistics. What business do you need? We will serve you wholeheartedly!"
"Who did it?"
“Huh? Mo…Mastema!?”
The voice on the phone was obviously a little panicked. It seemed that Remule knew very well who would be the boss of Penguin Logistics when the emperor was not around.
"When did you come back?"
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I saw your 'work results', Lemuel."
"That... that was just an accident! I didn't do it on purpose! And who knew those guys were so cunning and treacherous..."
As expected, he talked a lot but didn't explain what mistake he had made. This made Fiammetta on the side understand Mostima's mood at the moment.
You deserve it! I told you not to explain anything to me! If you tell me everything that happened that day, I will immediately discipline Remiuan's sister to be obedient and well-behaved!
Fiammetta looked up at the sky, seemingly admiring the sky of Longmen, but in fact he was secretly complaining about his companion's awkward behavior.
"Okay, Lemuel...which hotel are you in now?"
"No, the Texas police chief helped me find a place to stay temporarily. Oh, and by the way, this is the house of Inspector Zhongxiao! He also said that we can stay here for a while!"
Until he hung up the phone subconsciously, Mostima still couldn't figure out what had happened.
She knew Chongxiao, and also knew that he had not been in Longmen for more than a year. So how come he suddenly appeared and gave his residence to Leimule and the others?
You know, the emperor has mentioned more than once that he should keep a distance from Inspector Chongxiao...
Mostimarch didn't know that the emperor was "fighting" for Texas with someone, and that he was resentful because of his "defeat".
"The person who answered the phone was Lemiaoan's sister?"
"Correct."
"Her voice and tone are not like Lemiaoan, and there is a certain difference in the way she speaks."
Fiammetta analyzed seriously, and the speechless Mostima wanted to roll his eyes at her.
The most important thing right now is to find a place to live... Although he is already a veteran employee of Penguin Logistics, Mostima has never considered Lungmen as his home, so he has always been casual about accommodation and has not rented or bought a house specifically.
But now the bar base can no longer be lived in, and with Fiammetta following me around, I have to find a suitable place to live.
"Come on, I'll take you there..."
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang.
When Mostima saw the caller ID, he immediately showed a surprised expression: it was Chongxiao, who he had only contacted a few times.
Under Fiammetta's gaze, she hesitantly pressed the answer button.
"Inspector Chongxiao?"
"It's me, are you free now?"
"……Have."
"Then let's find a place to meet. I have some business to hand over to you, Penguin Logistics."
Chapter 121 Fiameta is a Counter-Strike
According to the address Chongxiao gave on the phone, Mostima and Fiammetta came to a not-so-noticeable restaurant.
This restaurant is located on the edge of the core district, only a few hundred meters away from the slums. Although the store is not small, the furnishings and dishes provided are very ordinary. It is obviously not a restaurant for middle and high-income earners.
When the two walked in, there were only two or three tables of people eating there. Chongxiao was sitting at the innermost side against the wall, chatting happily with a middle-aged man in an apron.
It was Dong Fang, who had left the special inspection team two years ago.
"If I'm not mistaken, the guest you're waiting for is here... Tsk, another red-haired one?"
"What are you talking about? Mastema never..."
Chongxiao turned around and froze in his seat because he saw Fiammetta behind Mostima.
Dong Fang chuckled secretly, stood up and went back to the kitchen.
After retiring due to injury, he started a seafood business with his brother... who was also the old friend of Rat King Lin Gerui. Later, they saved enough capital to open this restaurant, and their life was prosperous.
Soon, Mostima and Fiammetta sat down.
"Long time no see, Inspector Chongxiao."
The girl, who was no longer Sakta, smiled and said, “Perhaps, I should apologize to you first?”
"Apologise? Why?"
"Exia, Croissant, and...Sora."
"It's okay. To be honest, the place only belongs to me in name only. I haven't actually lived there. It's okay to let them stay there for a while."
As he spoke, Chongxiao's eyes kept glancing at Fiammetta, who remained silent, and the astonishment in his eyes was obvious.
The two of them were originally Lateran guards, so they naturally would not ignore this detail.
Fiammetta frowned subconsciously, while Mostima was slightly startled, and there was a hint of playfulness in the smile that was always on his face.
She was not very familiar with Chongxiao, but she had dealt with Texas many times. Even if they could not be considered besties, they could be considered good friends... Therefore, Mostima once heard Texas's unintentional complaints and extracted one thing from them: Chongxiao always seemed to prefer women with red hair.
My dear teammate, it seems you can help me prove it.
"This is Fiameta, the special commissioner of the Lateran Notary Office, Inspector Zhongxiao, my..."
"Regulator."
Fiammetta interrupted Mostima rudely. She instinctively sensed that her friend had bad intentions, but she couldn't be sure what kind of "bad intentions" they were.
"I am responsible for monitoring and controlling Mastema's activities outside of Lateran, so if she takes any unusual actions, please let me know."
Although his demeanor and tone were usually serious, even cold, at this moment Fiammetta seemed to go a step further, with a feeling of deliberately keeping a cold face.
There was no need to sense the emotions, Chongxiao also knew that he was being rude.
“…I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
He quickly apologized, "I just didn't expect Mostima to know a beautiful lady like you."
Well, it was fine before I said this, but once I said it, the atmosphere suddenly became even weirder.
Mostima's smile froze on her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously a few times... No matter how open-minded she is, she is still jealous. Everything was normal when Chongxiao met her, but he started talking nonsense after just looking at Fiammetta a few times?
After a brief moment of daze, Fiammetta looked angry and almost slammed the table and stood up.
But for some reason, hidden in this anger, there was also a hint of panic... You know, in Lateran, except for Grandpa Patricion who always called her "Fia" all the time, no one had ever mentioned words like beautiful in front of her.
"you……!"
"Calm down! Calm down! Fiammetta, he didn't mean it!"
Mostima quickly grabbed his companion and glared at Chongxiao fiercely.
No wonder there has been a rumor in Longmen that Inspector Zhongxiao is a scumbag. I really misjudged him!
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Benefactor?"
The three of them turned their heads and saw that it was a man who had just walked into the restaurant... From his clothes and appearance, he looked like a wandering Taoist priest, with an unkempt beard on his face, and he was wearing a traditional Dayan robe. The outfit on his back was also consistent with that of a fortune teller unique to this country.
But if you look closely, you can see that he is actually not that old, and he is tall and straight with many calluses on his hands, obviously a martial artist.
"My benefactor! Is it really you?!"
"Uh...Excuse me..."
Just when he was confused, a figure suddenly flashed through Chongxiao's mind, "Fu Jin? Wait a minute! Is it really you?"
"It is I! Please accept my respects, benefactor!"
Under the astonished gaze of everyone in the store, he bent his knees and was about to kneel down.
Chongxiao, who was quick-witted, reached out to help immediately, and then he realized that there was a strong and intense internal energy flowing through the other person's body, which was even resisting his contact.
"Good boy! Your progress in the Nine Yang Kung is quite good!"
He complimented with a smile.
The reason why he helped outside Jiangqi City was because Chongxiao could see that Fu Jin did have his own difficulties and was not the kind of greedy and despicable person. The three letters and the Nine Yang Gong secrets that followed were also in the hope that he could overcome the difficulties.
And the development of things was just as Chongxiao expected...
After leaving Jiang Qi, Fu Jin opened the first letter as he instructed, but did not practice the Nine Yang Gong directly.
This act of "free" teaching of superior martial arts is almost equivalent to the grace of rebirth in the martial arts world. Fu Jin is a person with good character and moral integrity. He feels that he has done something worthy of Chongxiao's attention, so he keeps the skills in safekeeping.
He did learn a lot of anti-reconnaissance methods from the second letter, and with these he successfully returned to the abandoned Lian family martial arts hall in Gouwu City. He also burned the Yin Qing fan as a memorial to Master Lian in the netherworld... In fact, the fan itself is just an object. What is really worth remembering for Fu Jin is his master's martial arts and way of dealing with people.
However, someone was actually paying homage in the abandoned Lian family martial arts gym. Such an obvious behavior unsurprisingly attracted the attention of some people, and Fu Jin fell into crisis.
After being hunted down several times in a row, he had to change his name to hide his identity. He escaped from Gowwu City under the name of fortune teller Wuyou, but he still couldn't escape completely... because the attacker was his senior sister when he studied martial arts at Lian's martial arts school, and she knew everything about him.
In desperation, Fu Jin...or Wu You had to start practicing the Nine Yang Gong with a grateful heart towards Chongxiao.
Just like this, more than a year passed. Senior sister was no match for him. Wu You also moved away from Gouwu City and decided not to return easily... In his confusion, he remembered Chongxiao's third letter, and after opening it, he decided to come to Longmen.
Of course, it was not to avoid disaster, but to repay a favor.
"...Then you are really lucky."
After listening to Wu You's description, Mostima suddenly interrupted and said, "Inspector Zhongxiao just came back, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find him."
No one would find this kind of story of helping someone by chance and then traveling thousands of miles to repay the favor annoying. Even Fiammetta, who didn't know much about Dayan's martial arts culture, showed approval on his face, and his impression of Chongxiao improved a bit.
By the way, as an expatriate who often leaves Lateran to travel to various countries and regions, Fiammetta's Yan Mandarin level is naturally up to standard.
"My benefactor has just returned to Longmen?"
"Yes, I have been in Yumen before."
"Then... the Yumen God-killing Battle that was circulated last year, could it be that it was also about you, my benefactor..."
God-killing War! ?
This description was so shocking that even Mostima and Fiammetta widened their eyes.
Da Yan does not respect gods, but puts its people first... Among the countries of Terra, this philosophy is the most implemented, if not the only one.
The demon insects whose strength surpassed that of the giant beasts attacked Yumen. The battle was so earth-shattering that it was in vain even if the Divine Capital tried to conceal the information. It would be better to cover it up a bit to prevent the evil beasts from being known by too many people.
Thus, the rumor of "Battle of God Killing at Yumen" came into being.
Of course, the "god" here refers to the evil god, and the participants in the war include not only the border guards who suffered heavy losses, but also Qinglian Zhenren, the fairy in the painting, and the mysterious ancient black dragon... As for Chongxiao, because the power he erupted was too powerful and extremely mysterious, it was not suitable to be spread out.
But after all, he is his benefactor, so it is not surprising that Wu You would think so.
"Ahem, that's an exaggeration. I just... helped a little."
Yes, yes, yes, it’s just summoning the black dragon.
Since his memory only stayed at the time when he was seriously injured and dying, Chongxiao actually knew about the existence of the black dragon through Ling's retelling. He had no idea what the relationship between him and it was, or why it protected him.
However, from the broken memories deep in his mind, he actually remembered two names that might be related to the Black Dragon: Ankalagang, and...
Shirter.
"No matter what, since I can see you again, it is my great fortune in this life. I will do my best to help you!"
