Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Don't worry, it won't harm us."

Jie looked at the tourists in front of him who were still a little frightened, and reminded them again.

"Well, at night, besides crowded places, it's best not to go to some places. Longmen's Guard Bureau will protect your safety."

Jie looked up and scratched his head: "Really? Can't we just have a few days of peace and quiet every month? Requiem is almost here."

Ji, as an old resident of Longmen, do you have any idea who caused the explosion at this moment?

40% is due to the fighting between gangs, and the other 60% is the work of those noisy Penguin Logistics.

After confirming that there were no more explosions above his head, Brother Jie lowered his head and continued to watch the Fish Ball Shop. Anyway, there were many such things, and as long as it didn't happen to him, there would be no problem.

Moreover, the rule of Longmen is that civilians cannot be harmed during a fight. If violated, there will be accountability afterwards.

"Mom?" Hong looked at the overpass above worriedly.

Xiyue patted Hong's head to reassure her: "It's okay. Look at the expressions of the people around. They are probably used to such sudden explosions. It's really different from there."

"Okay, eat it quickly, or it will get cold later."

"Uh-huh."

After a while, the two who had finished eating the fish balls continued to stroll on the street. Mainly because Xiyue was still in high spirits and was still reading the guide to Longmen's Hundred Folk Foods with great interest.

Suddenly, a low engine sound came into Xiyue's ears.

"Are there speeding gangs in Longmen too?" Xiyue looked up and saw a truck coming quickly from a distance, so fast that it didn't look like a truck.

Xiyue looked at the truck and saw the wall on the left side of the car being lifted up: "It looks like the explosion just now was caused by the four of them."

Xiyue pulled Hong to stand in the aisle at the side, while the more experienced Longmen residents around them ran to the street and stood there faster.

The truck did a tailspin and the entire vehicle almost flew into the air on two wheels.

"Blade driving, good technique." Just as Xiyue was complaining, a black shadow flew over from the truck.

"Hmm." Xiyue frowned. In order to prevent the black shadow from hitting anyone, Xiyue raised her hand to summon a ball of water to intercept it in mid-air.

"What is this? A box? Looking at the broken securing straps, it looks like it should be their cargo."

After this commotion, Xiyue completely lost interest in shopping. As for the box, seeing that they were still being chased, she might as well go there tomorrow.

Xiyue didn't want to get involved in any trouble, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow when everything was settled before going.

As for who the box belonged to? Well, based on the fluorescent tube that Xiyue saw from the cab of the truck just now, which was speeding past and leaving an afterimage, she could roughly guess who it belonged to.

Chapter 17: Invitation

Penguin Logistics, safe base, office lobby

This is the office base of Penguin Logistics in Longmen, an office building well-known to everyone. It is also one of the several homes of several Penguin Logistics girls.

The girls basically live wherever is nearby. There are several safe houses in Penguin Logistics all over Longmen, so basically they live wherever is nearby.

Today, Kong, who lives here, was woken up by the alarm clock. He got up and was about to walk to the office lobby when he heard it.

"So, Archangel, what use are you?" Texas sat on the sofa with an unhappy look on his face, looking at Archangel kneeling on the ground.

Kong, who was standing nearby, saw this as soon as she got up. Not knowing what was going on, she poked Croissant decisively, as if he had been watching the show from the sidelines since early morning.

"Croissant, what's going on again? What did Exia do to make Senior angry?"

"Remember the other day when the three of us teased Angel on her bed? Texas even drew on her body with a marker."

"Of course..." Kong's expression was a little unnatural. After all, in that battle, she was chased by Archangel Exia for a long time and was the second most seriously injured in the entire battle.

As for the one who was most seriously injured, of course it was the Archangel Nerga who was Lu Bu in the battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu.

However, it is obvious that Archangel Ninja does not have the unparalleled fighting power of Lu Bu who could fight one against three and still not be defeated. In that battle, he was beaten to the point of losing all his armor and even ended up with a mark of humiliation.

"You know the character of Angelic Angel. He said he wanted to save money to buy a gun, but considering his status as a moonlighter, he might even have to borrow some money. He won't be able to afford it in his lifetime."

"It seems that what you said is not wrong. No, Croissant, you have deviated from the topic. This is not what we are talking about."

"There's no theme anyway. Anyway, yesterday, Angel of Power asked Texas to draw on him. This was a threat, so he asked Texas to take him on a mission."

Croissant shrugged and pointed at the disc on the table: "I don't know what it is exactly, but it seems that the Archangel is busy. He was originally on guard in the car, so there is nothing to do."

At this point, Kong also revealed an expression of understanding. After all, they had worked together for several years, and she had some idea of ​​Angel's character.

Although he saw a look of sudden realization in the air, Croissant still did not stop.

"You probably guessed it. Yes, the Angel of Power couldn't sit still again, so she followed him secretly. As you know, her fluorescent tube and the infiltration had nothing to do with him at all."

"Exiam isn't that unreliable, is he..." Sora's words became less and less confident, so his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Well, it's true that Angel didn't follow us, or rather, she had just gotten off the bus and was discovered at that moment. You know how conspicuous we were."

"I guess I understand. However, Senior Texas should have got the disc, so why is he still so angry?" Kong nodded but asked in confusion.

"Who was in charge of unloading the cargo yesterday?"

"Nengtian... Could it be that she forgot?"

Croissant spread his hands and said, "Yesterday, in order to pester Texas to take her with him, I completely forgot about the wine. During the chase, a hole was blown in the carriage, and a box of high-grade brandy flew out."

"Uh……"

How can I put it? Angelica went there to make money, but this happened. That box of high-grade brandy would cost Angelica at least half a year's salary, and it would only be possible to pay it off if it was a big order every time.

"Well, we can only hope that the Angel can be found, or that the boss doesn't intend to pursue the matter."

"Boss, do you know about this?"

"I probably don't know yet. Otherwise, it shouldn't be the alarm clock that woke you up today, but the scream of the penguin. But I don't know whether Iss has told you yet."

Of course Texas heard what the two people next to him said, but he did not stop them from discussing it, because this was what the stupid bear angel in front of him had done.

"I've lost not only my wife but my soldiers. It's a huge loss, a huge loss. Texas, you must help me." The Archangel had a sad face, and he was just about to go up and hug Texas' thigh.

"How can I help you? You'd better hope that your boss is in a good mood and doesn't intend to pursue the matter. Otherwise, you can use your half-year salary to offset it, or it would be faster to sign a contract to sell yourself."

Texas, who was already feeling a little unhappy because he had been busy all night yesterday, was woken up by a call from Is this morning, asking him where the wine from yesterday was.

At that time, Texas, who had just woken up and was still sleepy, replied casually that it should have been moved down by the Archangel.

But over there, Is's voice came faintly: "The usual place for unloading is gone, so I stopped by your truck to take a look. Yesterday's wine was not unloaded, and a box of high-grade brandy is missing."

When I heard this, even though it was a refreshing autumn day, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my body in Texas.

Texas quickly hung up the phone and rushed into Angelica's room and grabbed Angelica who was dreaming.

Then it became the situation that Kong saw when he woke up in the morning. It was totally unsympathetic.

Although Texas couldn't just not help her best friend after all, she couldn't think of any good solution at the moment.

After all, Texas knew the price of that box of wine. The salary the emperor gave them was quite generous, and there was a commission for each order. However, it was still very difficult to pay it off.

"Well, I'll call Is and ask him to check the surveillance to see if anyone has picked it up. I hope it hasn't been opened yet and the person is easy to talk to."

Texas was about to pick up the phone when the communicator on the table next to him popped up a message saying someone was coming.

"Kong, Croissant, someone's coming, go and greet them." Texas picked up the phone and greeted casually.

"And Angel of Power, get up! Stop kneeling. What are you talking about?"

After finishing Texas, he picked up the phone and prepared to call Is and ask him to help check it out.

"Hello?" Almost as soon as the phone rang, the other end answered it, making one wonder if the person on the other end of the phone had been waiting for a long time for Texas to call.

"Is, about the box of white orchid..." Before Texas finished speaking, he saw a girl walking in with a ball of water, and in the ball of water there was a box that looked quite familiar.

"This flew over from the truck last night. I think it should be yours." Xiyue walked in, and the box was carried in by water.

Looking at the familiar box, Texas was silent for a while, then slowly said to the phone, "...Did you know?"

"To be exact, I just found out about it. After all, it was the boss's wine, so I had already watched the surveillance video. I knew it wasn't lost, but was just picked up by someone."

Texas raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe what the guy on the other end of the phone said about just finding out. Texas was sure that this guy must have known it before calling.

"How do you know for sure that the other party will come back? You were monitoring. Did you see him coming?"

"No, I watched the surveillance footage from last night, but I don't think that person would covet a box of wine. It's meaningless to her unless she wants to use it for disinfection."

"Okay, I got it." Texas turned off the phone and put his hand on his head.

"This morning..."

The Archangel on the side was not as sad as Texas. He rushed over without any image. Xiyue also untied the water's restraints in time and let the box fall.

Although the weight of the box almost made Angel's hand become the piece of meat in the sandwich between the floor and the box, and her face almost hit it, Angel didn't care and rubbed her face on it while holding the box.

To Angel, is this just a box? How is that possible? This is clearly her salary for more than half a year.

The Angel gently put the box aside, then suddenly exerted force and hugged Xiyue's thighs.

"Eh?"

"Thank you very much. You are like my second parents. Do you have any commission? I will give you half price."

Following Xiyue in, Kong and Croissant looked at the Archangel holding Xiyue's thigh in silence.

"You have no moral integrity, Angel."

"...Suddenly, I don't seem to want to admit that we are colleagues."

Xiyue smiled and looked down at the Archangel who wanted to hug his thighs. After thinking for a while, he reached out and touched the Archangel's head.

"It really is floating in the air. Although I have seen it in the knowledge given by the system, this is the first time I have touched it with my own hands to confirm it."

"By the way, the knowledge provided by the system seems to be only the research of this world. The research did not explain why such a phenomenon occurs. I want to dissect it and study it for some reason."

The angel who was hugging Xiyue's thigh suddenly shuddered and looked around: "I always felt a chill running down my spine just now."

Texas walked over and grabbed Exia's ear, forcing her to leave Xiyue's thigh.

"Don't cause any trouble to others. Thank you very much for your help."

"Texas, it hurts!"

"Don't be embarrassed."

Xiyue waved her hand: "It's okay, I don't care. I took a quick look and it's a box of high-end wine. I think losing it must be a very troublesome thing for you. It's understandable that she is so excited."

"Of course, this is more than half a year's salary for me, Texas, you see how considerate they are."

Texas heard the movement of his hands and intensified it: "Do you need me to remind you? If you hadn't done anything extra yesterday, this wouldn't have happened at all."

"Stop pulling, stop pulling, it's going to break, my ear, it's going to break!"

In order to ease the embarrassment, Kong, who was standing by, got a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to Xiyue.

"Well, please don't mind it. They are not like this usually. They are very reliable."

"It's okay. I can see that you guys have a good relationship."

At this moment, a magnetic boy suddenly said, "Angel, I heard you lost my wine!"

Xiyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a penguin standing there.

"Hey, hey, hey, boss, wait, listen, listen to my explanation."

"Explain, what explanation? Do you know how expensive that box of wine is?"

"No, no, I've found it. No, no, it was sent in by this lady."

"Oh?" The emperor's gaze shifted slightly, and then an indescribable penguin scream instantly resounded throughout the building.

"Why are you here?"

Compared to the confusion of the other four people, Xiyue just drank a sip of water calmly.

"I'm just returning something. Hello, Emperor."

"...Hello." The emperor looked a little embarrassed, although there was no embarrassment on his penguin face. Then he turned his head and glanced fiercely at Is who appeared at the door at some point.

"Did you kid do this on purpose?"

"Boss, what are you talking about? I don't know." There was no expression on Is's face, as if he really didn't mean it.

"Just wait, kid." The emperor walked to the box of wine, opened it and made sure there was no problem with the wine in the box.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the wine, Angel. I will spare you this time, okay."

"Oh! Long live the boss!"

The emperor ignored the antics of the Angel next to him, glanced at the calm Xiyue beside him, and nodded as if confirming something.
