Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

Xiyue knew that the Sakota people loved desserts. As for the reason, Xiyue's eyes swept across the glowing floating wings behind them and the halo on their heads.

'Maybe it's because of the extra energy consumption of those components.'

"Okay, okay, I get it. I've already disposed of that batch of apple pies. It's such a pity that I only sold half of them in the end. It's a huge loss."

"Who told you to buy that kind of stuff? You know sugar..." Angelus nodded, ready to hit Croissant with some moral principles so that she would not have the horrible idea of ​​buying sugar-free desserts again. She just got out of the elevator and saw another person, or a penguin, sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

"Boss, good afternoon. We didn't cause any trouble this time."

The emperor nodded. Of course he knew what the commission was about. How could he not know what was going on when those two old guys made the call in front of him?

"Okay, sit down. I'm here to announce a long-term commission."

Texas walked over and rummaged around on the table for a while before pulling out a brand new box of pocky. He opened it, took one and sat down.

"Aren't you going to wait for Sora to come back?"

Kong walked out of the room at this time: "Senior Texas, I'm back. The boss sent me a message before. I was wondering what it was about?"

The emperor clapped his hands and said, "Alright, alright, everyone sit down."

Texas held the pocky in his mouth and said, "Is it a long-term security contract or a transportation contract?"

"The former. As for the client..." The emperor raised his hand and pointed at Xiyue who was rubbing her red face. "It's her."

Xiyue, who was pointed at by the emperor, looked up in confusion. She didn't remember ever talking about making any long-term agency contract.

"Xiyue?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiyue, but they found that Xiyue seemed even more confused than them.

"Cough cough." The emperor coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

"It's like this. One of Xiyue's conditions for joining Penguin Logistics is that I help her clear the official channels of each mobile city so that her medical activities will not be persecuted by other official organizations between the mobile cities."

Texas nodded: "But it doesn't include gangsters and troublemakers in the community?"

"That's right. So when you go to other mobile cities, just go and help keep the place in order. You will be paid as usual."

"To keep the situation under control?" Texas looked back at Xiyue.

She felt that the main reason for this statement to calm the situation was to allow them to take a paid break. After all, who would really dare to destroy God's place?

As for the other reason, it might be to prevent some blind person from causing trouble and angering Xiyue. If they take action, it can effectively reduce the damage radius, for example.

Xiyue thought about it and understood what the emperor meant: "I'll leave it to you guys when the time comes. Some things are really not suitable for doctors to handle."

———Longmen Chenzhu Mansion——

"Who are you looking for? Turns out it's Officer Xingxiong." Wei Yanwu glanced at Xingxiong who was sitting upright.

"My Lords, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xingxiong saw it very clearly. She came here because the two big guys in front of her must have something for her to do. Xingxiong could also guess that this matter was probably related to Lao Chen, but she couldn't say that.

"Well, it's indeed a suitable mouth. Maybe there is something for you. Let's take a look at this first."

Bai Xue on the side handed a tablet to Xingxiong. Xingxiong quickly took it, opened the tablet and started looking at the things on it.

As soon as he opened the tablet, Xingxiong was a little surprised by the photo on it.

"Is this the new guy from Penguin Logistics?"

The tablet that Bai Xue gave to Xingxiong was, of course, the same tablet that Wei Yanwu had brought back from the emperor. As for the photo on it, it was of course Xiyue herself.

Wei Yanwu took a puff of the pipe in his hand and said calmly: "Xiao Chen really brought you over as well. This will make things much more convenient."

Xingxiong was not stupid. After hearing what Wei Yanwu said, she quickly figured out what was going on with the phone calls that they had originally believed were reports of gang members fighting each other.

As for what was in the box, it was probably just a box of candy, because the candy was not important at all and did not need to be shown to them. The only thing they really needed to see was the newcomer from Penguin Logistics.

"Old Chen got cheated..." Xingxiong muttered, and continued to look at the tablet in his hand. As for why he had to go through such a big circle, this tablet should be able to tell Xingxiong the answer.

"Medical care, medical care...and slums?" Xingxiong quickly extracted the information she needed from the tablet. These three keywords should be enough.

"Yeah." Wei Yanwu tapped the pipe in his hand. "Officer Xingxiong, don't you think the slums have been out of the control of the Longmen Guard Bureau for too long?"

"Where is the Rat King?" Xingxiong did not directly answer Wei Yanwu's question, but asked another big man who was in charge of the slums.

Wei Yanwu looked at Xingxiong with admiration, and then said, "The person who went to Penguin Logistics to assign a commission today is the Rat King's man."

Xingxiong was slightly shocked, then nodded with a wry smile. They were cheated by the three big guys who teamed up to cheat them.

"Do you need me to tell Old Chen about this new doctor?"

"Yes, you can tell Xiao Chen, or tell the little tiger in Shi Huaiya's house. I just need to prove the fact that this doctor went to the slums to conduct medical activities at the invitation of the Longmen Guard Bureau. Do you understand?"

Xingxiong put the tablet down and nodded: "Captain Wei, please rest assured."

Xingxiong was not going to explore why the three big bosses would go through so much trouble to find such a doctor, nor was he going to ask why they attacked the slums at this time.

Since the three big guys have already agreed to do this, it is not something that a small police officer like her can stop. And...

“That wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

Chapter 27: Selection

"Captain Wei has really found a difficult job for me." Facing the night wind, Xingxiong scratched his head.

He said he would tell Lao Chen or Shi Huaiya the news, but how should he tell it?

Although Xingxiong accepted the task from Wei Yanwu, she was very embarrassed about how to start the conversation.

Logically speaking, today was the first time Xingxiong met Xiyue, and she didn't really break any law, so she had no reason to investigate her situation.

Even if we investigate, the most we can find out is that the other party recently came to Longmen and joined Penguin Logistics. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to investigate further or even outside the mobile city?

Moreover, there are many gossipers in the Guard Bureau. If this matter is known by others, it will inevitably be talked about, for example, it will be used as gossip.

Don't be surprised if someone exaggerates the gossip again. It's human nature to exaggerate the gossip to make it more credible and interesting.

For the time being, she doesn't want to have some strange labels attached to her just because she was a mouthpiece.

"It's better to make the source of the news more reasonable. Commander Wei didn't discuss this matter directly with Lao Chen. Maybe he wanted Lao Chen to learn how to use people?"

"It's better to ask clearly what can be done, such as whether I can get another mouth." Xingxiong looked back at the City Lord's Mansion behind him.

After scratching his head, he still didn't decide to go back. Instead, he took out his cell phone. After all, it would be a bit embarrassing to go back just after coming out of there.

[Commander Wei, can I complete this mission by any means? ]

After sending this message, Xingxiong walked to the side of the road, leaned against the wall and stared at the phone screen.

Soon several messages popped up on the screen one after another.

[It's OK as long as it doesn't harm Longmen's interests. I just need to establish the fact that Doctor Xin went to the slums to conduct medical activities at the invitation of the Longmen Guard Bureau.]

[You don't need to be in charge of the slums. There are already other people who are responsible for spreading the word there. Or do you need someone to help you be another mouthpiece to pass on the message? ]

"Phew, this makes things a little easier..." Xingxiong breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the information on the screen. At least she didn't have to fight alone.

Then Xingxiong's mind began to filter, who can help with this matter? His former gangster brothers can be trusted, but they don't know Lao Chen. It's impossible for them to break the law and let Lao Chen catch them just because of this.

Xingxiong shook her head, shaking off the thought that just flashed through her mind. She knew that if she went to talk to them, the brothers would definitely agree.

But they absolutely cannot do this for two reasons. One is that Xingxiong does not want his brothers to get involved in this mess. The other reason is more important. They are not familiar with Lao Chen. If they want to get in touch with Lao Chen, they will have to let Lao Chen lead the team personally for the crime they committed. Then they may not be able to get out in just one or two years.

And even if they really do this, it is still unclear whether they can talk to Lao Chen.

But who else could she know and trust? At least someone from Longmen, and at the same time, she had to strike up a conversation with Lao Chen without making any big mistakes.

Just as Xingxiong was leaning against the wall and thinking, a woman's shout was heard from the street across the street.

"Wait, I don't mean to dine for free, my bag is missing."

"Come on, miss, who goes out without a wallet? How about this, make a phone call? Ask your friends or family to send money? Let's forget about this matter, don't make a big deal out of it."

"But...but, my phone is in my bag too."

"Hey, miss, are you kidding me?"

Upon hearing this, Xingxiong looked around and locked onto a sneaky man wearing a baseball cap sitting next to another street stall on the corner.

He looked like he was waiting for the chef to cook something, but he was not waiting by the stall or at the small table and stools provided by the stall. Instead, he was wandering among other guests.

More importantly, he was carrying a women's bag with a very short strap, which made it inconvenient for him to take things there compared to his height.

If he was accompanied by a female companion, it might be reasonable, but if he was alone, combined with what Xingxiong just heard, then there is only one possibility.

"Looks lucky they didn't go far."

...............

"This won't work. The bag is held very tightly. It seems like this person didn't bring a bag." The man in the baseball cap walked behind the small table left for customers to wait for a while at the stall, his eyes constantly scanning the bags carried by the customers sitting there.

At this time, after a couple ordered something from the boss, the boy placed the bag in the vacant seat and seemed to be tired of carrying it, so he put it down.

But he still had some sense of security and placed the bag between the two stools between him and his girlfriend.

“Very good…” The man in the baseball cap standing behind them chuckled when he saw the man’s actions. The other party had a sense of security, but not much.

"My boy, it's safer to put the bag in your arms next time. Just treat this as tuition."

The man in the baseball cap reached out his hand cautiously, and just as he was about to lift the bag gently, feeling secretly proud of his success, a hand grabbed his wrist.

"You are really brave. You didn't even run away after you succeeded in stealing a deal." Xingxiong smiled at the cap. "Longmen Security Bureau, you are under arrest for theft."

"Young man, you should hold the bag in your hand. It will make you feel more at ease if you hold it in your arms."

"Thank you very much, officer."

Xingxiong smiled and nodded, then took out his phone from his pocket: "Hello, this is Xingxiong, send someone to Qiaosha Street, I ran into a pickpocket here."

After putting away the phone, Xingxiong dragged the pickpocket directly to the place where the quarrel had just happened.

"Okay, miss, you only have two choices. One is to stay and work as a dishwasher, or someone will send you the money."

"But I really..."

"Okay, master, please don't make things difficult for this lady. I found her bag." Xingxiong interrupted the conversation between the two and handed the lady's bag to the anxious girl.

"Captain Xingxiong?" At this time, a police car drove over and stopped next to Xingxiong.

"We are the police officers patrolling the area. We received a call from the police station and drove over here. Sir, the pickpocket you caught is him, right?"

"Well, I leave it to you."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, sir." The two men took the pickpocket into the police car, saluted Xingxiong, and left.

Xingxiong stood there, looking at the police car going away, and seemed to remember someone.

"Yeah, how could I forget about this kid named Anso?"

The girl who had resolved the dispute with the store manager came over and bowed to Xingxiong: "Sir, thank you for helping me find my bag."

"Ah, that's okay, it's my duty."

Xingxiong waved his hand and walked away, thinking as he walked, wondering whether this child met the requirements.

"A slum kid with no background should have a clean background, there is no problem with that, and he is familiar with Lao Chen and they can even talk to each other."

The more Xingxiong thought about it, the more he felt that Anso was more suitable. Of course, this was indeed a trap, after all, it was something that the three big guys wanted to do together.

But it is not a fire pit, nor a deep pit. If An Suo really has no background, is smart enough, and most importantly, is obedient enough, he might be able to take this opportunity to clear his name.

Now that I have made my choice, there is nothing to hesitate about. It just so happens that Ansuo and Xingxiong know each other, and they are indeed very pitiful, so I might as well make a profit from it.

Xingxiong opened his phone and began to write a message, focusing on describing why he chose a dark lock and what advantages dark elements would have.

[Sir, I do have a suitable candidate. Her name is Anso, and she is a thief in the slums...]

After clicking the send button, Xingxiong breathed a sigh of relief: "It all depends on what Commander Wei thinks next."

———City Lord's Mansion———

"Dark thread?" Wei Yanwu looked at the text message Xingxiong had just sent him.

"Snow White?"

Bai Xue, wearing a black ninja suit, appeared in front of Wei Yanwu silently.

"Go check this kid named Yinsuo. If she is indeed reliable and has no background, why not let her become a citizen?"

At this time, in a detention center somewhere in the Longmen Guard Bureau.

A Carters girl with long dark purple hair was lying leisurely on the bed in the detention center, crossing her legs and looking relaxed, as if she was not in the detention center but at home. Oh, no, it should be even more comfortable than home.

The girl has a pretty face and regular facial features, but her skin is a little rough. However, it is still fair and just looks a little dry and yellow. Perhaps because of long-term poor eating and malnutrition, she looks thin and small.

The clothes he was wearing were already torn and faded. It had been who knows how long since he had washed them or how long he had worn them. His long rabbit ears were trembling.
