Ark, they don't revolve around you

All the people present were from big families, so of course they were full of compliments. The nobles who claimed to be the rulers of Longmen valued manners the most, and in their hearts they were a little disdainful of the young man's reaction.

I am still too young...

However, before they could sneer, their secretaries and waiters suddenly rushed in, each of them as if they were facing a great enemy, and solemnly presented the terminals in their hands, as if they were top-grade jade unearthed from Yumen.

Everyone who was there saw the message. It was like a fucking mass message. The sender had no name and the words were very simple.

——Stop eating, the dragon gate is almost gone.

This sounded like a prank, but the chairmen felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, freezing cold from head to toe.

This is that person’s news. No one will forget the cleansing over the past few months. After all, face is not as important as life!

The restaurant, which was crowded with dignitaries from the Chamber of Commerce, became noisy. Everyone was scrambling to leave, as if primary school students were playing outside and happened to meet their teacher asking if they had finished their homework. They were embarrassed and anxious and picked up the phone to ask what had happened.

They received the second message.

——No one is allowed to sleep tonight. Information must be blocked, public opinion must be controlled, and preparations for disaster relief must be made.

That statement was too understated, as if the leader casually assigned a task, and the employees had to carry it out whether they were willing or not. They might secretly curse the leader as an idiot in their hearts, but they still had to agree with the decision maker's wisdom and bravery.

……

Shi Huaiya put on her coat and hurriedly left home.

She should have rested and fallen asleep comfortably in bed, but a few minutes ago her landline kept beeping. A call came in, and the person on the other end was hurried and slurred, but his tone was particularly anxious.

Shi Huaiya became more and more impatient and shouted angrily. The person who answered the phone was replaced and it was Chen Huijie who picked up the phone again.

She said quietly, "Look at the intercity network."

"Playing tricks." Shi Huaiya sneered, opened the terminal suspiciously, and then looked dazed.

The ancient scroll on the terminal screen slowly opened. With Shi Huaiya's eyes, she could naturally tell that it was an antique. But now the antique had grown sharp teeth and fangs, and a huge body like a dragon.

The scroll comes alive!

Chapter 69: Everyone in Longmen is afraid of him

It wouldn't be a big problem if the scroll came to life, but it would be a big problem if it came out and hurt people, especially when the scroll screamed, rose into the sky, and spit out blue flames from its mouth.

Shi Huaiya looked desperate: "Isn't this a Columbia movie?"

"We have already removed the video, but it cannot withstand others' private discussion." Chen Huijie said coldly, "If you haven't gotten up yet, immediately, go to the Guard Bureau and mobilize the special inspection team. The waves caused by this group of monsters are limited, you must stop it as soon as possible!"

Beatrix Shihwaiya bared her teeth, extremely angry: "That sounds nice, but it's not you who's going to do it!"

She heard a subtle sound, like a blade being unsheathed, and the soul residing in the blade trembled slightly. Shi Huaiya's mind trembled, and she suddenly understood Chen Huijie's thoughts: "You used Chi Xiao, you want to go out in person? Don't be silly, Chief Chen, do you still think you are the leader of the special inspection team?"

"The enemy clearly thinks we are not strong enough. Shi Huaiya, can you just watch them cause chaos?" Chen Huijie was silent for a few seconds. "Besides, I received a message. I feel I need to fulfill my obligations."

The phone call was hung up. Shi Huaiya didn't know what obligation Chen Huijie was talking about, but it was like a vow. The woman betrayed it and then picked it up again, full of determination, and even the collapse of the sky and the mountains could not stop it.

Shi Huaiya put on her coat irritably. She guessed that this must be related to Zhuang Ning. Only when it involved him, Chen Huijie would become so serious, like a general about to go to the battlefield. Shi Huaiya felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart and poured cold water on her face.

She had a feeling that Longmen would be in chaos tonight. Four years ago, when the Reunion Movement invaded, the Guards had behaved terribly. Moreover, this was a sudden accident. Ancient artifacts were revived and harmed all lives. Who would believe it before seeing it with their own eyes?

The glass curtain wall of the Guard Bureau Building reflected the neon light, so dazzling that Shi Huaiya felt uneasy when she got out of the car. But the first moment she stepped into the Guard Bureau Building, she took a breath.

The place was crowded with people, with surveillance cameras everywhere on various screens, and maps spread out with red dots scattered across various blocks, marking the ecology, abilities, and personalities of the potential minions, as well as the possible economic losses!

"Sir." The deputy director brought a pile of documents that needed to be signed. "The enemy this time is not trivial. We need to dispatch armored vehicles and heavy weapons. I need your signature."

Shi Huaiya took it numbly, feeling even more surprised than before. When did the Guards become so much more efficient?

But she didn't dare to complain out loud. After all, Beatrix Swaya was the person who knew the Guards best.

All departments have completed the coordination, contacted reporters to control public opinion, the special inspection team drove the armored vehicles, and the tacticians and crossbowmen started to take the helicopter. Shi Huaiya found that she seemed to have nothing to do?

I'm like a mascot!

"Star Bear!"

"Missy, you are here." Xingxiong wiped Prajna. A corner of this shield had been broken by Chen Huijie before. After the repair, the shield became harder.

"Who is in charge of all this, the deputy director? But he has only been in office for how long." Shi Huaiya asked in a low voice.

"He's not the only one." Xingxiong sighed and put his hand on Shi Huaiya's shoulder. "In any case, improved efficiency is a good thing."

Although he said this, Shi Huaiya was still worried and entered the combat command room cautiously.

Nominally, this battle was directed by Shi Huaiya, for she was afraid that another ancient artifact would become a spirit and launch a sneak attack.

But after she stayed there for a while, nothing happened. She was uneasy at first, fearing that she would not be able to do such an important thing as commanding the battle, but she soon found that as long as she stood with her hands behind her back, nodded, and said "um" or "okay", everything would be fine.

Gradually, Shi Huaiya began to laugh. It turned out that commanding a battle was so simple? It turned out that the current Guard Bureau was different from the past and full of vitality!

This little tiger feels he's doing it again!

But in the eyes of others, she is becoming more and more like a mascot, which is cute and easy to coax...

……

Longmen, slum area.

Looking at the approaching beast, the evil boy's legs and feet became weak, fear spread in his heart, and he cursed his past self for being so useless!

The evil beast watched in amusement, a beast with wisdom of its own, teasing the young man.

The evil boy used to be a well-known figure in the area. He made a living by collecting protection fees from vendors in the slums and led a small, insignificant gang.

The outside world always thinks that slums are a paradise for criminals, which is a bit exaggerated. Slums are indeed lawless areas, with money laundering, smuggling, and contraband trading, but in fact, that is just a microcosm. There is more order in slums, but bad boys still admire the big guys of the society.

A large part of the reason lies with Lin Yuxia. It is normal for young people to have feelings for each other. Today, the evil boy heard the rumors and volunteered with his people. He wanted to use this method to make the eldest lady of the Rat King look at him more.

But he regretted it. His men were no match for the beasts, which easily broke the spines of several men. The boy could only wave the knife in his hand and retreat a little bit, with despair eroding his face bit by bit.

At this moment, the specially made arrow was fired, sparks burst out, and the beast let out a mournful cry.

The boy saw the knife flash down, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye the beast was torn into pieces.

The boy raised his head dully and met a ferocious yet calm gaze. He remembered that this was the boss of a certain gang, who had killed people from the Imperial Guard when he was young, and later had several fingers on his left hand cut off, so he held the sword with his right hand.

The man was silent for a few seconds, as if brewing something, and then suddenly roared: "Fuck the street, I *Longmen swear words, *Longmen slang, *Longmen dirty words, *Yan country swear words, *Victoria swear words, *Colombian slang, *East country swear words*!"

He was like a lion talking about the bad boy: "Didn't you get the notice? I told you not to come out. Do you know what my target is? You killed a few people. Do you think I won't lose a few more fingers?!"

The young man was even more stunned. This man who killed the evil beast so coolly was also afraid, but the reason for his fear was that he failed to meet the target, and this target sounded like... the number of casualties?

"Okay big brother, big brother, stop quarreling with a child!!!" The man's younger brother pulled him away helplessly.

"You said that easily, I'll chop off your fingers next time!" The man cursed and yelled a few more times, and probably felt that it was too embarrassing to quarrel with the boy, so he said coldly: "Get out of here, stay at home quietly, don't come out, understand?!"

As he was speaking, the terminal suddenly rang. He shuddered, put on a different face, and tried his best to defend himself: "No, I'm trying very hard to save people. Tell the doctor for me that I shed blood for him and I have made contributions to him. He can't cut off the rest of my hand, please!"

The boy left in embarrassment, curious about who the doctor was. He didn't sound like a good person, but he was really powerful. Even the big guys in Longmen were afraid of him.

Chapter 70 His Orders

Lin Yuxia raised her eyebrows slightly. Tonight she was wearing a black and purple long dress, her pink hair was tied up, her face was stern, and quicksand was flying at her fingertips, outlining the shape of a glass sword.

When she appeared, everyone around turned their heads, but she did not change color. Instead, she looked down and saw the treacherous and violent behavior of the beast. This group of beasts that came out of the mountains and seas eventually poured into the most chaotic land of Longmen.

She is the daughter of the Rat King and the leader of the Longmen underworld. She has the obligation to protect the peace of this place. However, she is worried about how many people will obey her. After all, she is too young. In the past, the underworld was not ready to make any moves even though she had the support of the Rat King. Now she is alone...

However, this worry disappeared when Lin Yuxia arrived at the center of the battlefield.

The arrow head of the iron crossbow flashed with a cold light. This kind of rapid-fire crossbow was a military product. I don't know where this gang of gangsters got it from. It was equipped with a high-explosive warhead. Although the evil beasts were powerful, they were afraid of fire. Waves of crying-like sounds were heard during the explosion.

Perhaps due to some considerations, those hall masters and big guys actually showed amazing enthusiasm in exterminating the evil beasts, and the gangs that usually had differences with each other now cooperated sincerely!

The battlefield they chose was an open space in Longmen. Each gang was responsible for its own street. They drove the weapon minions into the open space and bombarded them repeatedly with crossbowmen and magicians. Even the most outstanding street fighting masters would be amazed at the seamless cooperation between the gangs!

Lin Yuxia felt relieved. What her father was worried about did not happen. It seemed that even if he left, the order of Longmen would not be shaken.

"Kill kill kill kill!!!!"

"Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven. Kill, kill, kill!!"

The crossbowman roared angrily, his face flushed, as if he had taken drugs. This was not a good thing, but considering that this group of people relied on violence to make a living, it was not so difficult to think about.

But... Lin Yuxia frowned. She heard fear, but she didn't know where the fear came from.

The rain of arrows ended, followed by a pouring of source grenades, gunpowder, and crossbows... Such a movement was undoubtedly huge, and it even made people doubt whether the structural layer of the gantry could tolerate it.

But when the smoke cleared, there were still a few minions standing. Many brave warriors rushed into the battlefield without hesitation. If they could not be killed by the bombs, they would fight with bayonets. If they died now, they would die, and if they lost their plan, they would die too. It would be better to chop off the heads of these minions than to wait for death!

Lin Yuxia was moved by the selfless actions of these warriors. She had always known the nature of gangs in her heart, that they were nothing but trash who bullied the weak and feared the strong. But it turned out that they still valued the citizens of Longmen so much.

Strands of quicksand were flying around. Lin Yuxia had no expression on her face, but she wanted to go to the battlefield in person. The old man next to her was horrified and hurriedly stood in front of her to stop her:

"Ms. Lin, you absolutely cannot do this, you absolutely cannot do this!"

"Longmen is also my home. You value your lives and let your men risk their lives, but I don't care."

I don't care about your life, but I have to think about my family... The old man was about to cry. He didn't know whether Lin Yuxia was trying to win people's hearts or whether the daughter of the Rat King was really full of justice. In short, he would never let this person get hurt.

Why is it so unlucky today? All the bad things happened to them. They just used their best weapons to deal with the accomplices. They suffered heavy losses. Miss Lin is still not obedient and sensible. The old man lowered his eyes to hide the sorrow in his eyes.

Half an hour ago, a mandatory mission popped up on the deep dark web of the underworld. The goal was to stop the machine's minions from harming the poor. There was no reward indicated, but the ID was blank.

At that time, few people knew what a weapon was, but did they know who this ID belonged to? It was the Rhodes Island doctor who had sworn allegiance just a few days ago.

This is not a task, it is an order. The doctor issued another one later.

[If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. The standard is based on human lives. I have people in your group. Please consider it for yourself. Remember, please have some shame.]

Consider? In the past few months, many gangs have disappeared inexplicably, so we must consider carefully. Anyway, the doctor has given orders, so we just need to obey. Those who dare to work without putting in effort are now dead.

But nothing can happen to Lin Yuxia.

The old man felt bitter. Everyone knew that he had committed many crimes when he was young and was not a good person. But now he put on a serious face:

"Miss Lin, that's not right. Longmen is our home, there is no distinction between high and low. But you are our banner. Miss, how do you compare to the Rat King? If you are not as good as him, just leave it to us. We can die, but you can't be harmed!"

After hearing this, Lin Yuxia thought for a moment before nodding her head in agreement.

"Well done," she praised.

I think it’s good too. If it weren’t good, I wouldn’t be in this position… The old man laughed, feeling a little proud in his heart. So what if he was that person’s dog? It wasn’t too late for others to be dogs.

The explosion resounded throughout Longmen. That night, not only the gang members were unable to sleep, but even the residents of the slums were kept awake all night because of the noise.

……

Gantry.

In the deserted park, the young man in black clothes frowned, with a few beasts crawling docilely around him. He stroked the fur of the beasts with his hands, as if he was treating a pet.

The decision to choose Longmen was a sudden inspiration, because he had recently seen on the news that Wei Yanwu had left Longmen, and he was certain that the city was empty. He also remembered that the man named Zhuang Ning was also here, and since he wanted to use a city to stir up chaos, Longmen would naturally be a good sacrifice.

He thought there would be a bigger commotion, but there were only a few casualties. The Guards and the gangs in the slums showed amazing qualities and were extremely hard-working. The man had seen such people before, those brave leaders in troubled times who could easily command their men.

"Is this the Doctor? I underestimated you." The man sighed and stood up from the bench. "Jie said that you would be a threat. Although doing so would not be friendly to my sisters, I must kill you..."

There was a pen in his hand. The black bony pen was held by a person who was too pale, and he quietly wrote a word.

kill.

The void shook. This word shocked the heaven and earth and made ghosts and gods howl. It was like an order. When this word was written, the fate had already determined the outcome.

But when the man wanted to write the two words "Zhuang Ning", he couldn't do it. His expression did not change. He just sighed softly and wiped off the traces of the words.

"Forget it, let's do it ourselves." He whispered coldly and snapped his fingers. A towering statue walked out of the woods. It looked like an emperor, with its mouth open and its head held high proudly - this was naturally the instrument that was given life in the temple.

"Go kill someone." The man turned around, walked calmly and disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared in the beginning.

Chapter 71: This world is not worthy of his trust

"Block that street. The actions of the accomplices follow a certain pattern. You just need to ask Shi Huaiya for instructions..."

"Lin Yuxia is suspicious? Don't worry, I told you not to expose it. Pretend to be calm and confident, and talk about your past as if you were a person who is about to die... Haven't you watched TV dramas? Act like they are in TV dramas!"

In the lobby on the first floor of Taikoo Plaza, Zhuang Ning switched several channels. His laptop could receive the channel of the Guard Bureau. The entire Longmen street block was divided into different blocks and exposed on the screen.

There was someone on the other end of the headset speaking in a low voice, with words of flattery. Sometimes Zhuang Ning felt that life was really great. Every species would seek benefits and avoid harm, but humans had the most powerful ability to please. As long as you had power in your hands, they would do their best to please you.

In the past, Zhuang Ning might have been in a good mood, but tonight he was too busy. Shi Huaiya could be a mascot and Lin Yuxia could go to the pile of weapons and die, but what Zhuang Ning had to do was to stop the situation from getting worse.

That's why he always switches channels. He wears different masks for different people. Facing the underworld, he must be like a cunning wolf, but he must show full integrity to the Guards. It's simple to deal with the Chamber of Commerce. Just declare your power and they will obey you.

Although he looked busy, he was actually just talking to a few people. When he heard the person on the combat headset report that the situation had stabilized, Zhuang Ning's hands on the keyboard paused slightly.
