Ark Heroine Development Plan

"You boy."

The old guard shook his head, not taking it seriously. "You're young, that's all. I finally understand why your father assigned you to guard the gate. If you don't develop a good eye, you'll have no chance of making it in the Guards."

The young guard blushed immediately. "What are you going to say?"

"If you had really attacked that guy just now..." Old Wu pursed his lips, "I don't think there would be a single survivor at our checkpoint. Just report it to the bureau and ask them to pay close attention. Don't try to get yourself killed."

"Just brag as much as you can," the young man just sneered.

Old Wu was too lazy to argue with him anymore. If his father wasn't related to him, he wouldn't bother to reason with this stupid boy.

Although he was just a gatekeeper, he had been doing this for nearly twenty years.

Old Wu has seen all kinds of fierce dragons crossing rivers and tigers climbing mountains, but after a few days, he will have to stay in this city obediently.

Except for that person, everyone else can take over the city.

The reason why Old Wu asked his old friend's son to get out of here quickly was because he saw something in this woman that was similar to that man.

Old Wu believed in his own judgment, even if it was just a little bit, even if it was just specious, it was enough to make way for this evil star.

After a while, the young man came over again and asked unwillingly:

"Old Wu, you make that girl sound so capable, so why don't you tell me what she wants to do in Longmen?"

Old Wu opened his half-closed eyes a little and answered slowly:

"Why worry about so much? Just go home and lock the door."

……

"Alright, that concludes this operational meeting... Commander Xingxiong, please stay for a while."

After all the members of the case team had left, Xingxiong locked the front and back doors, leaned on the conference table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen, who was leaning on the edge of the table with his hands and a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious all of a sudden? What's the problem you've thought of?"

The recent progress is obviously very good. With the clues from Xingxiong, Chen and Xingxiong's team are advancing step by step and are slowly approaching the mysterious mercenary who can interfere with people's hearts. If they remain cautious and don't alert the enemy, they will be able to catch that guy sooner or later.

"This isn't right, Hoshiguma."

After a long time, Chen slowly uttered these words.

"……wrong?"

Xingxiong's five fingers slowly and rhythmically tapped the conference table, thoughtfully asking, "Why is this wrong?"

"I don't know... I shouldn't be able to explain it to you." Chen rubbed his temple. "Right now, I can only tell you that I don't have enough evidence. It's mostly just intuition. Because it's really... too sudden, or too coincidental."

Xingxiong looked at Chen quietly, waiting for her explanation:

"Don't you feel the same way?" Chen looked up at Xingxiong. "The case was originally at a dead end, but I happened to meet you, who was also affected."

"And you, who were also affected... you got over it in a few days. It just so happened that due to the nature of the case, you joined me in investigating it."

"And then, you happened to have a valuable intelligence connection, and we happened to obtain the key information to break through the pass..."

Chen's expression grew increasingly grim. "The rest of the work will simply flow naturally, without any further hindrances... How can this be justified?! It's as if someone has calculated everything!"

Xingxiong thought about it carefully, then slowly shook his head: "There is indeed something wrong here, but if you say that the progress of the entire case was planned by someone, then it is not the case."

She half-jokingly said, "If every case had your kind of thinking, Xiao Chen, then there would be no need to handle the case."

"No, Xingxiong, listen to me, anyway...sigh."

Chen bit his lip and finally just let out a sigh.

"Never mind, maybe I'm just too sensitive, but Xingxiong...you and I better be careful."

Having weathered several storms, Long was no longer naive. With a deep gaze, she whispered, "If, I'm just saying if, if this case is truly man-made... including the progress of our investigation being controlled by someone else—"

“How many people in this city do you think can do this?”

Xingxiong was stunned.

"I need to know you well enough, know me well enough, know the Guard Bureau well enough, and know enough to...control Longmen."

Chen sneered:

"There are only two people, two people we both know."

One is the almighty Lord of Longmen.

One is the king of ghosts who dominates the entire city.

"Xiao Chen, you——"

"Of course, Guan Yueli can basically be ruled out." Chen's expression was a little cold. "Although she... has many flaws, she's not the type to manipulate conspiracies to achieve her goals. If there really is someone involved in this case, I naturally tend to favor someone else."

Xingxiong held his forehead weakly: "That's our boss's boss, Xiao Chen."

"I know." The young dragon's expression gradually returned to calm. "I told you, it's just a matter of if. And no matter how I think about it, I can't think of any reason why he would do this, so... just be more careful. I don't want you to encounter something like last time."

The caring words came naturally. Xingxiong smiled and hooked Gou Chen's shoulder: "If you say so... I will take it. You should also be careful, okay."

"Well... that's enough, there's nothing else to do. We'll continue tomorrow when there's new news - stop pressing, you're squeezing me to death, Xingxiong!"

"Ahahahaha——"

As a result, on the next day, Chen and Xingxiong, who were discussing the case, actually received a piece of news.

A piece of news that is not good at all.

"Inspector Xingxiong, we need to immediately remove you from Officer Chen's assignment."

"You need to immediately carry out a more important and dangerous mission. No, I should say... that mission is waiting for you."

Chapter 75 - The Ghost of Morbidity and Extremes

Messy, dirty, disgusting.

Guiminglou came to this place through the so-called "Infected Channel".

The bottom floor of Longmen, the foundation and stepping stone of the magnificent palace, the darkness beneath the reflection of countless beautiful dreams, the garbage dump given alms by the bigwigs.

Downtown, slums.

Guiminglou doesn't care much about the so-called "discrimination against infected people". It doesn't matter to her which passage she takes. She didn't come to this city to enjoy life anyway.

Walking alone in the deserted alley, his slender, white but not at all pretty index finger tapped on the hilt of the knife.

The reason why it doesn't look good is that the originally delicate and slender index finger... is covered with dense scars.

It's not just her index finger, her entire hands are covered with scars like this.

The woman closed her eyes and continued to tap the hilt of the knife gently and rhythmically.

“…still can’t reconnect.”

Gui Minglou lowered his eyes: "The power of Ming Wang..."

"aim--!!!"

The wild cat passing by instantly let out an extremely piercing and sharp cry. Its back arched high, and its hair exploded all over its body. After hissing twice, it immediately turned around and disappeared in a few blinks of an eye.

"Junior sister, I really hate you more and more." The woman murmured softly, her dark red eyes opening and revealing pure cruelty.

"Whether it's you or that...knife that's in the way!"

After a long time, the Ghost Tower gradually calmed down, returned to its original appearance, and continued to advance in the slums.

Many people in the slums fixed their gazes on that alluring body, but no one stepped forward.

Having good eyesight is important everywhere, but in a place like the slums, if you can't even tell who you can and can't mess with, it's a miracle that you're still alive.

but……

"Sister, where are you going?"

The laughing thugs blocked her way.

But generally speaking…some people get into trouble not because they lack vision, but because they think they are strong enough – although it sounds similar, the emphasis is different.

After all, even Guan Yueli would encounter this situation.

"Would you like to go to the bar? The brothers are treating. Sister, you should keep them company..."

He reached out and tried to lift the woman's hood.

However, before he could do anything, Gui Minglou raised his head and looked at the gangster in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Who is the boss here?"

No one answered her.

The thugs who were being stared at by those dark red eyes began to feel their legs shaking.

"Ask again."

There was no emotion in her tone: "Who is the boss?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Big Brother D!" The leading thug trembled all over, and answered Guiminglou's question tremblingly as if he was electrified.

"lead the way."

she continued.

"……what?"

The woman didn't say anything, just looked at the gangster.

"I'll bring it! I'll bring it to you right away!"

The gang leader answered while trembling and winking at his subordinates.

Gui Minglou didn't bother to care what he was doing. Her master had taught her many things, many of which seemed unrelated to swordsmanship, but were actually very related.

She glanced at the poor people around her who were either shivering or hiding, and curled her lips.

It doesn't look like a good thing.

That's good.

……

When Guiminglou was brought to the place where Big Brother D was, he was ambushed as expected.

In the bar, more than fifty ferocious thugs armed with sticks surrounded Guiminglou, while Brother D was sitting on the sofa, holding a heavily made-up woman in his left hand and holding a cigar in his right hand, looking like a typical gangster.

"Why...it's you?" Big D blew out a smoke ring. "Looking for me?"

He looked Guiminglou up and down, grinned and said, "Want to do business? Sorry, I don't have anyone I want to chop off recently, my friend."

"Or……"

The man laughed heartily. "Are you here to do business for someone else? You're so brazen as to come and chop someone up?"

"Are you the boss of this area?" Gui Minglou asked expressionlessly.

"You fucking idiot..." Big D's face darkened. "I'm asking you a question! If you want to do business, stop pretending to be so rich."

Gui Ming Lou still ignored him and continued to ask: "Is it the flesh trade or buying powder?"

"Grass!"

Big Brother D cursed angrily and raised his hand to touch his waist.

However, he put his hand to his waist and fumbled for a long time but found nothing.

The man looked back with an annoyed look and found that the gun was still there, but why couldn't he get it?

Oh... because all five fingers are gone.

The screams and howls came late.

Gui Ming Lou put the knife on Big Brother D's neck and asked calmly, "Flesh or powder?"

"Skin...skin business, my friend, if you have something to say...let's talk it over."
