Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

I am so tired today, my back and waist ache. I wanted to try to write today, but after sitting in front of the computer for four or five hours, I have no idea at all, and my mind is in a daze... I will take a day off today to relax. ((°`°〃)

Yanguo, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 216: The Superintendent and the Killer

Then Claude walked around all the stores, tasting each of the recommended desserts, and found that they were all equally good to his taste, so he simply bought some of each. Soon he had a big bag in his hands. He didn't look like a visitor, but more like a friend visiting relatives during the New Year.

"That way it's foolproof."

He looked at the pile of plastic bags in his hands with great pride. He didn't believe that there could be anything wrong after he made such a safe decision. He was sure that he could achieve his goal smoothly.

He turned left and right and came to a bus stop. He checked the bus stop list and found that he only needed to take bus No. 16 and in 4 stops he would reach the Longmen Guard Bureau. So he adjusted the belt of his windbreaker, put one hand in his bag, held his gift in the other, and began to wait for the bus here.

Longmen is indeed a well-known trading city. There are an exaggerated number of people here. Looking at the dense flow of people standing at the intersection waiting for the traffic lights, dozens of people pass by every time. This is unimaginable in Ursus. I am afraid that the population of this city has already reached its design limit, but there is still a steady flow of people entering the port of Longmen every day, contributing to the city's economy.

Claude was actually not very conscious of his appearance, he stood at the bus stop with a very normal attitude, almost everyone passing by would turn around to look at him, and as time went by, this situation gradually intensified.

The girls at Longmen were quite enthusiastic and open-minded. Many of them wore shorts and short skirts. Their densely packed white thighs made Claude feel dizzy. From time to time, they were paired with black or white stockings.

The No. 16 bus came very slowly. Claude stared at the crowd in front of him, but his mind was thinking about other things. To him, multitasking was a simple matter.

…………

Claude's attention was suddenly drawn to the slender legs wrapped in black stockings, the black miniskirt and the black and white sweatshirt uniform of the Sakota girl in front of him. The halo above her head was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and at least at this moment, she successfully attracted Claude's attention.

But the girl didn't notice him and crossed the crosswalk on her own. After reaching the other side of the road, she turned left and right in the streets and alleys of Longmen.

Claude didn't care. When he hired Penguin Logistics, he had already added the other party's contact information. Of course, it was the girl who gave it to him. According to the other party, they got along well and could be friends.

Bus No. 16 finally arrived. Claude spotted the number 16 on the red display screen from hundreds of meters away. The traffic light was red, and there were no pedestrians or signs of congestion on the road. The bus would arrive in a dozen seconds, and Claude was ready.

...The leather boots suddenly stopped, and Claude's eyes were fixed on the other side of the street. A figure with white hair and a black coat entered the alley like an ordinary pedestrian, but Claude keenly discovered that the route this person took was exactly the same as the route that the Archangel had just taken... This might be a coincidence, but he still decided to go over and take a look. After all, the bus can wait for the next one. If something unexpected really happens...

But it was really inconvenient to hold such a pile of desserts in his hands. Claude looked around, trying to find a suitable place to store the things in his hands. He soon found a suitable place, waited for the green light to come on, crossed the road directly, and came to the police booth opposite.

Although I don't know what the law enforcement department in this city is like, it seems to be peaceful here so it shouldn't be too bad. I should ask them to help look after my things.

"Hello, officers."

After greeting everyone at the door, Claude took a quick look and found that the situation here was a little subtle. To be more precise, the atmosphere was a little subtle. Two policemen in uniform and wearing masks stood aside very stiffly, while a blue-haired girl sat in front of the table. Claude clearly saw that the name on her chest said that she was a superintendent.

Even Claude's expression was a little awkward at this moment, and he was a little embarrassed to speak, but the girl immediately stood up and looked at him with a serious expression:

"Sir, do you have any difficulties that you need help with? Please tell me."

"It's nothing serious. I just have some things to take care of. I want to leave these snacks here. I'll come back for them after I'm done. Don't worry, it won't take long."

"Of course no problem, please put your things on this table and we will watch them."

"Thank you so much."

Claude nodded, turned around, opened the door and walked out, and the big bag of snacks was placed on the table.

…………

Chen looked at the big bag of snacks on the table with curiosity. Although it was packed in a big plastic bag, the snacks inside were all exquisitely packaged and did not look cheap. The gentleman just now was also dressed very decently and his appearance was very eye-catching.

The first thing Chen noticed was the sword hanging on the other person's waist. As a sword wielder, she could tell at a glance that it was a rare sword, and the person who possessed such a sword must not be a simple character. The thing that this person was in a hurry to do also made her alert.

She decided to follow and see just in case.

"You two take good care of these snacks and don't lose them. I'll be back soon."

While the two police officers nodded hurriedly, Chen had already hung the sword belt around his waist. There were two swords in the sword belt, one black and the other red.

…………

Claude closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The smell in the city was extremely complex. In addition to car exhaust, there were various other smells. However, he still accurately identified the smell he was looking for, which was a strong smell of blood.

With his fingers on the hilt of the sword, he slowly stepped forward. This way of walking didn't seem fast, but he turned a corner in the blink of an eye, as if he was floating on the ground.

The streets of Longmen are extremely complex, with all kinds of unexpected layouts, making it easy for unfamiliar people to get lost, but Claude behaved like a Longmen native, moving through the streets and alleys without hesitation, as if he knew the way.

This behavior aroused Chen's curiosity even more. After all, although Longmen has a dense flow of people, such a person can easily leave a deep impression on others. If he really lived in Longmen, he should have an impression of him.

Time passed, and the two people walked farther and farther away. Just when Chen realized that he was being too suspicious and was about to return to the Guard Bureau, he suddenly heard the sound of a sword blade rubbing against the scabbard in front of him.

Just the sound of metal friction made her shiver for some reason, as if a cold sword blade was slowly sliding across her neck.

But soon the girl perked up and quickened her pace to catch up.

………………

The distinctive axe-shaped tip of the heavy vortex sword rested on the ground, and as Claude walked forward, it easily cut through the concrete on the ground without even sparks, and even the sound was barely audible.

It was as if it wasn't hard concrete but soft tofu.

The Luper girl with long silver hair held two long swords with a serious expression. The long swords had slender and slightly curved blades. Near the handles, there were two D-shaped spell-casting units. They looked very sharp with a cold glow, but this weapon that could easily chop a human body in half could not bring her a sense of security now. The heavy and ferocious beheading sword in the opponent's hand seemed completely beyond the ability of the slender long sword in her hand to withstand.

"You can explain to me, young lady. Explain why you followed that Sakota? ... And I will decide how to treat you according to the situation."

The hem of Claude's long grey trench coat swayed as he walked. He picked up the heavy vortex sword with one hand, spun it twice between his fingertips, and then held it heavily in front of him. The broad tip of the sword immediately pierced into the thick concrete.

"...No comment."

The girl gritted her teeth slightly, exposing her sharp teeth, which looked dangerously beautiful.

Claude nodded slightly, then pulled the vortex sword out of the ground, and then charged without hesitation. In an instant, he was in front of the girl, and chopped down heavily with the vortex sword raised high, with the momentum to split the opponent in half, including the sword.

The girl reacted instantly, dropped the long knife in her left hand, and supported the knife with both hands to resist the attack. She thought about dodging, but she didn't react at all, as if the time the other party had been close to her was cut off.

Mercy's blade sliced ​​into the other's, and the tiles beneath the Ruper girl's feet instantly cracked, her knees buckled, her teeth involuntarily bit her lip, and her arms shook as if she had a stroke.

The pressure on her long sword suddenly disappeared. Before she could react, the terrible pressure came again with a sharp sound of metal collision. This time, the girl could not support herself and knelt on one knee on the ground. The broken bricks on the ground cut her knee and caused it to bleed.

She subconsciously wanted to escape, but the sound of metal collision continued like a violent storm. Every time the terrifying heavy sword was swung, it would accurately cut the gap on her blade, and the gap began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. If this continued, her sword would be cut off in a few seconds, and then her body would be cut off.

But the sword was swung so fast that she couldn't escape at all. She could only use the sword in her hand to block the blows again and again. She had no chance to use her Originium skills at all. She could only watch as the gap on the blade began to penetrate the entire blade, cut into the back of the blade, and then without any surprise, directly penetrated the entire blade. With a crisp sound of metal breaking, her consciousness suddenly became blank. She could only watch the sharp sword blade approaching her. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be split in half from head to toe, and her death would be much more miserable than those she had killed.

A lot of sewage flowed out of the drainage pipe next to it, and before it could spread, it flowed directly into the sewer. The sound of water awakened her consciousness, and after discovering that she was not split in half, she finally came to her senses and saw that the terrifying sword blade was stopped in front of her forehead. As a breeze blew, a strand of silver-white hair fell from her forehead.

…………

Claude slowly sheathed his sword and turned to look behind him.

"Miss Superintendent, could you please arrest her?"

Chen, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted and rushed between the two people at his fastest speed.

…………

Everything went smoothly, but the only thing that surprised Claude was that he also had to go to the Guard Bureau, but nominally to accept investigation.

This was his first time riding in a police car, so he was a little bit excited, but he soon discovered that the police car did not have many special equipment.

The Guard Bureau was originally his destination, and he happened to be in time for it this time. Before getting on the car, he did not forget to remind Inspector Chen not to forget to bring his snacks to the Guard Bureau. However, seeing the other party's strange expression, he could not help but remind him again and again.

The Luper girl was put in a detention center, but he was treated much better. He was just questioned by others in a small room with a table and chairs.

The person who asked him was actually the blue-haired Inspector Chen. This girl had a pair of twisted short horns on her head, which looked somewhat similar to Tallulah. Her eyes were a very bright red, and she had a long and powerful tail, which was also very similar to Tallulah.

Claude had some doubts in his heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? ...

After hesitating for a while, he asked directly:

"Ms. Chen, what is your name?"

They were not the only two here, there was also the tall woman with long green hair who worked at the port checkpoint. As soon as Claude said this, the room suddenly became quiet. Seeing the strange expressions of the two people, Claude quickly realized that what he said might be meant to flirt with them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly enough... The reason I came here is actually to find a female police officer named Chen Huijie. I have news about her family to tell her. If you are not this lady, can you pass on the news for me?"

Still no one spoke, but Claude saw the expression on the face of the pretty blue-haired girl in front of him become serious, and a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in her eyes. He immediately realized that the person in front of him should be the person involved, and that she was treating him as a liar, so before the other party could get angry, he continued:

"I know it's hard for you to believe me, but I do have news about your family. She asked me to come here. Please don't misunderstand me. After all, you know that there is no need for me to be a liar."

After saying this, Claude naturally picked up the plate on the table. Inside was a serving of pork trotter rice. This was the first time he had seen this food with a strong hometown flavor, and he had to try it.

No one spoke anymore, only the crisp sound of the spoon in Claude's hand touching the plate could be heard.

………………

Yanguo, Longmen and Victoria: Chapter 217 A Crazy Person

Because Claude's attitude was too calm, and the sound of the spoon scraping against the plate that echoed in the house was a bit harsh, after looking at each other for a while, the two of them were now a little confused. After all, the bowl of pork trotter rice had been eaten up, and looking at each other's expressions, it seemed that they were considering whether to have another bowl.

Claude asked the other party for a napkin in a very familiar manner, and then sat upright in the chair, waiting for the other party's answer.

Before entering the door, someone wanted to take his weapon away, but he refused. After all, if the sword left him, even he himself could not predict what would happen. This Guard Bureau might very well become a dead place in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, he also understood that this was the other party's responsibility. Fortunately, Chen stepped forward to stop the other party and avoided unnecessary disputes.

"Mr. Catavials, you said you were from Casimir... Are you a knight of Casimir?"

The woman with long green hair routinely asked Claude for his basic information. Since he couldn't think of a suitable pseudonym, he simply used his name in his previous life. After all, he didn't think that anyone in the world except Hart would know the meaning of this name.

"I've played in a few competitive knight matches, so I'm considered to be quite good at it."

Claude smiled and spoke. Everything he said was true, without a single lie. He just hid some things.

"Casimir's knightly tournament is very famous here. Maybe I have seen your competition, sir."

This woman named Xingxiong has a very generous personality and seems to be carefree, but Claude can sense that she is still testing him and is just using this attitude to make him let down his guard. After all, people with cheerful and extroverted personalities can easily get along well with others and make others let down their guard.

"The Knights' Tournament in Casimir is very different now. You may find it boring now. After all, it is now mainly for selecting fresh blood for the army. It is not as commercial and entertaining as before."

"Oh, really? Maybe I'll really enjoy the game now. After all, I also hate those ads and things that have nothing to do with fighting."

…………

The investigation went smoothly. It only took 10 minutes for Claude to walk out of the house. He also got his dessert from the next room. The big bag was full and attracted the attention of many police officers.

So, the policeman at the door watched in amazement as Claude just came out of the police station, got his things, and turned around and walked back in. When he passed the reception window, he turned his head slightly to take a look, and then walked into the Guard Bureau headquarters which was full of police officers without hesitation.

Claude walked smoothly to an office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Hearing the familiar voice inside, Claude immediately smiled faintly, reached out and pressed the doorknob, then walked in and closed the door.

The blue-haired dragon girl looked at Claude in surprise. She didn't expect that he would find it so quickly, but she still coughed and asked Claude to sit down.

……

"This is a small gift from me, please accept it."

He placed the big bag of desserts on the table next to him. No matter what, Claude was still confident about the taste of these desserts. After all, he also liked to eat them.

"Thanks……"

Chen Huijie felt that this was all he could say now.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

Claude's expression at this moment seemed to reveal a strange sense of complacency, but the girl who noticed this chose to ignore it.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Claude reached out and picked up a pen on the table, then picked up a piece of printed paper and quickly sketched a pattern on it. Before the girl could ask, he lightly touched the pattern with his finger, and then picked up the glowing pattern like pulling up a leaf on the water, and threw it into the air.

The pattern exploded directly in the air, turning into countless blue light particles that splashed everywhere, just like the fireworks during the Spring Festival, brilliant but fleeting.

"Okay, excuse me, I have to make sure that what I say next won't be known to a third person."

Claude, who was ready, was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"You should be familiar with the name I'm going to mention next, Tallulah. Do you remember that girl?"

As expected, the blue-haired girl's face immediately showed an expression of shock and surprise;

"Tallulah!! Do you have any news about her?! How is she doing now? I heard that she became the leader of the Reunion Movement and occupied the city of Ursus... Is she safe now?"

A series of questions were asked one after another. Looking at the other party's anxious expression, Claude continued:

"Please rest assured, Miss Chen, Tallulah is fine. I'm here to bring you her regards. She's doing fine now."

…………

Claude talked to the other party for a long time, and in the process, he introduced Tallulah's situation in detail. In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he also took out his terminal to show the girl the photo of himself and Tallulah, Tallulah giving a speech in front of the army, and the way they acted together in the heavy snow...

But because of the girl's continuous questions, he still explained for a long time before he calmed her down, and at the same time he received her sincere gratitude.

Seeing the girl's thoughtful look when saying goodbye, Claude knew that she must have some special ideas.

Just as he was about to close the door and leave, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but speak again: "Ms. Chen, if you ask the attacker we just caught, can you tell me why she attacked my friend?"

Chen came back to her senses quickly. She had been thinking about what the other person said. After all, the amount of information was too huge.

"Of course Mr. Catavials, please give me your number and I'll let you know when there's news."
