Ark Heroine Development Plan

"So, Officer Chen, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Chen hesitated for a moment while holding his coffee, then raised his head and looked directly into Xingxiong's eyes meticulously:

"Although it may be presumptuous, but... could I ask Commander Xingxiong about... your sister?"

"Ok?"

Xingxiong was stunned for a moment, then answered very readily: "Of course, no problem."

“…Is it really okay?”

"If it's a secret about my sister, I won't stay here."

Xingxiong turned his head to look at himself in the glass and chuckled: "She never cared about these things."

"So--"

Turning to look at Chen, Xingxiong asked with interest, "What do you want to know, Officer Chen? Compared to your colleagues who are more concerned with gossip... you seem to care more about other things."

Chen pursed his lips, and after a long silence, he replied in an extremely serious tone:

"Of course I want to know more, but right now, I want to know something that is most important to me."

"Your sister, Guan Yueli, her killing... was never for the sake of order."

"in other words--"

Having experienced a past that ordinary people could hardly understand, carrying a burden that ordinary people could not imagine, the girl returned from a distant place to study and train, with pure and lofty goals in mind, staring at Xingxiong with an extremely sharp gaze:

"Is she simply deciding the life and death of those people based on her personal likes and dislikes?"

Killing evildoers for the sake of justice and order is different from killing evildoers because it feels good to kill them.

Everything she did might not be for justice; she might just be an evil ghost wreaking havoc in Longmen.

"If Commander Xingxiong finds my words offensive, I offer no apology."

Chen straightened himself, his eyes still sharp and resolute.

"I want answers from you, sir."

"You really are..."

After a long, stiff silence, Xingxiong sighed softly.

"You can't talk like that to other officers. It's easy to offend them."

Chen's face froze and he said nothing.

Xingxiong's expression softened, and he didn't seem to be displeased at all by Chen's radical words.

"To be honest, this question has always troubled me."

"...What?" Chen was stunned. "Why..."

"the reason is simple."

Xingxiong unconsciously turned the quilt, with the same gentle smile as usual on his face.

It’s just... a little more helpless and sad.

"I can't claim to have a complete understanding of my sister."

"It sounds funny, doesn't it?" She laughed self-deprecatingly. "Every time I think about it, I feel sincerely ashamed of being a sister."

"Of course, it's not that my sister hid her past from me. She was very frank and happy to share it with me. It's just that her past... is too long. So long that even if I knew those things, I couldn't remember them all. It's even more impossible for me to guess my sister's state of mind at the time, and naturally, I have no way of knowing... what she's thinking now."

Xingxiong looked at the stunned Chen and couldn't help laughing:

"When I first heard my sister talk about her past, I had the same expression as you."

"As your younger sister, I don't really want to tell you my sister's actual age, but... the number of digits is still okay."

"Wait...how many digits?"

Age, how many digits can age be?

"Although I don't like that name, but according to my sister herself—"

Xingxiong's smile was a little helpless:

"She's been a triple-digit old woman for a long time."

……

"Burp~"

Guan Yueli, the useless man, who was only wearing Xingxiong's women's white shirt, lay on the sofa and burped.

She seemed a little dazed when she got up. Her long, tight and plump thighs were crossed and overlapped. She supported her head with one hand and yawned in a daze with a drunken look on her face.

"small star?"

With her eyes half closed, she looked up for a while and found that no one responded. The old woman muttered for a long time and her eyelids drooped again.

He turned over and lay down with a burp, then fell into a light sleep with a snoring sound.

There were several completely empty wine jars on the coffee table, and a, um... rabbit tail with the fur dried up.

Chapter 2.0 - Anti-pornography

Chen did not get the information he wanted from Xingxiong.

As an inspector who has served the Guard Bureau for many years and has always been working on the most dangerous front lines, Xingxiong has an impeccable reputation in the Guard Bureau. Whether it is her work attitude or her personality, Chen has never heard a single negative word about her since joining the Guard Bureau.

Guan Yueli's existence did not affect other people's views of Xingxiong - as long as they met her once, it would be impossible to associate that upright and generous woman with a person who did evil.

Therefore, Chen did not doubt the truthfulness of Xingxiong's words, but he became even more... confused.

The horror of the time scale is far more terrifying than ordinary people imagine.

One hundred may be just a number, but on the scale of time and measured in years, it can change a person beyond recognition... countless times.

Moreover, judging by Xingxiong's tone, Guan Yueli had lived for more than a hundred years...

[Those who live long and see for a long time are all cold and indifferent]

A sentence from a martial arts novel he had read came to Chen's mind.

The emotions of the immortals will be diluted by time. Except for certain specific obsessions, all other emotions such as family, love, friendship, etc. are so vulnerable under the blade of time.

Then why is Guan Yueli, an immortal, so lively?

Just because... you're lustful?

His mind was full of questions, and doubts about Guan Yueli popped up uncontrollably in Chen's mind, one after another.

“…I keep wondering what she’s doing.”

Chen rubbed his temples. Although dealing with Guan Yueli was the most important issue for her right now, Chen had to admit that she had no capital to bargain with the other party.

Even that man was polite to her. No matter how hard Chen racked his brains, he couldn't find a way to fight against her.

But only now.

"Chen, there's a new mission. Come over here."

Hearing his colleague's voice, Chen slapped his face, reorganized his thoughts, and quickly switched back to his usual work state.

"But we can't just let that woman be unable to even do the task at hand."

She whispered to herself and replied sternly.

……

Chen, wearing a little skirt, had a deadpan expression.

She couldn't understand why the work she did was always related to pornography after just a short time at the Guards Bureau.

The mission this time was simple, but it was not a trivial matter. Chen, who was "guilty", and other female police officers, a total of eight police officers, were divided into groups of two and distributed in various areas to carry out this mission together.

Arrest the rapist.

The person who reported the case was a lady who was very outstanding in both appearance and figure. She was extremely eager to arrest the criminal, but the strange thing was that she refused to reveal any clues no matter what.

Not to mention the criminal's appearance, she refused to provide even the most basic information such as height, clothing, and body shape, but she emphasized very seriously that the criminal must be caught. The police officers who received her initially thought she was there to cause trouble.

But this lady didn't know what kind of relationship she had in the bureau, but in the end the higher-ups still assigned this task. The reason was that lady's oral statement -

"If we don't catch that person, more little... girls will definitely be harmed. Please make sure to catch the criminal."

Although she didn't reveal any information about the criminal, the lady did give some pretty much nonsense information, such as that the criminal often went to bars and loved drinking...

The only useful information is probably that the criminal has a very outstanding appearance.

But overall, the details are still vague. In Chen's opinion, this behavior is almost equivalent to a waste of police resources. It's not that she doesn't want to help the lady get justice, but the woman is obviously concealing some key information, which is very problematic.

"So, connections are really something that makes people—"

Chen subconsciously wanted to complain, but then closed his mouth with a stiff expression.

What Commander Xingxiong said does make sense.

She turned her head and looked at the busy street, thinking silently in her heart.

"Hey, Huijie." The female police officer next to her, who was also dressed coolly, patted her shoulder. "How about we split up? The two of us, uh... to be honest, don't look like sisters shopping together."

Miss Chen Huijie's expression was a little awkward. Her partner's words were indeed reasonable. The two of them standing together didn't look like people shopping, but...

“I think there’s a certain risk…”

"He's just a creepy guy," the female officer said, raising an eyebrow. "Are we afraid of that kind of guy? Don't worry, I've also got my communication device's positioning system on. It would be less efficient if we acted together. I'll stay within the designated area."

Chen thought about it for a while and finally nodded silently.

There was no reason to refuse in any way. If the criminal was very dangerous, the lady probably would not have had a chance to come to the police safely.

So the two of them said goodbye, pretended to separate, and went their separate ways.

Chen looked down at her watch. It was early morning, when the decadent nightlife of those men and women had just begun. She had to shop for another two hours and only leave when she was sure she had nothing to gain.

This mission was most likely a punishment for her "false reporting of military intelligence" - what she said in the amusement park had scared her captain and superiors. If it weren't for the intelligence sent back by the spies, the Guards' plan to attack the Hongyi Gang would have almost failed.

The punishment Chen received for causing such a big trouble was actually not much different from being forced to drink three cups of wine, which made Chen's reputation in the Guards Bureau a little bad.

So Chen wants to do something now, not to prove himself, but just to make up for his mistakes.

Time passed bit by bit, and Chen sent away one person after another who didn't seem to be the target. The "outstanding appearance" mentioned by the lady was in contrast - she pointed at Chen and said, "This girl is just average."

Although he was unhappy, Chen at least had a standard in his mind.

No one attacked him while walking on the street. Chen looked back for a while, making sure that no one was around. He took out the communicator to contact his partner. He had gained nothing today, so it was time to go back.

But when she turned on the communicator, she was stunned.

Her partner turned off the communicator.

The positioning point... disappeared.

"...Damn it!"

Someone who could subdue a Guards officer silently and even retrieved his communicator and turned off his location tracking device beforehand, would actually let a powerless woman go back to report the crime?!

There is indeed something wrong with that woman!

Chen gritted his teeth, requisitioned a motorcycle on the side of the road, and rushed towards the last location of the positioning point.

The successive failures made Chen more and more anxious. She did not blame anyone, but only hated her own incompetence.

But she never seemed to have thought that she had just graduated from college. Even if a girl of her age joined the Guard Bureau, at most she would just do odd jobs in clerical work or perform some small tasks, instead of thinking about joining the most dangerous front line all day long.

She has never held herself to the so-called "normal standards", and she always maintains this attitude...burning her life.

She didn't want to do anything she would regret.

"Guards! Have you ever seen a girl who is 1.63 meters tall, has red hair, wears a gray skirt, a white shirt, and two star-shaped earrings?"
