Ark Heroine Development Plan

The emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Go tell those unlucky guys last night—but I didn't expect you to revive that priest. Is vitality so omnipotent? That guy was dead for almost eight hours, and you still brought him back?"

"That's special." Guan Yueli shook his finger, "It's an exclusive secret recipe that will never be passed on to anyone else."

"Why are you so kind all of a sudden?" The emperor looked suspicious.

"Don't you take special care of those little girls?" Guan Yueli asked back.

The woman held her chin with one hand and said lazily:

"Being sucked alive by a tentacle monster is not the way he should have died. That kind of person should have died of overwork while saving others, and finally been buried with great fanfare by everyone."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "To use the words of you Easterners...are you a tsundere?"

"Get lost," Guan Yueli scolded with a smile. "I'm going to say with a cold face: 'This is his reward for what he said to Xiao Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to care whether he lives or dies.' That's called tsundere, understand?"

"Hmm..." The emperor stroked his chin, "Is there any difference? You Easterners are really weird."

"You're so annoying! Did you just find nothing to do after making sure those girls were safe and sound and then come pick on me?"

"Okay, okay, let's change the subject—what do you think will happen to that little girl named Chen after tonight?"

The emperor looked at the bright light rising on the horizon and said, "Even with the priest's comfort, I will be depressed for a long time."

"That's because you don't know her well enough."

Guan Yueli said cheerfully, "Depressed? How could I possibly be depressed? My own stupidity, the sacrifices of others, the final salvation of the victims. If I'm still depressed after all this, I might as well just die."

The brilliant light finally rose from the horizon.

"She should be angry."

The woman whispered, "Anger towards those who play with life, anger towards those who despise life, and... anger towards myself for being powerless."

Then, Guan Yueli laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to capture the rising sun in his palm:

"Because of this uncontrollable, seething rage, it should burn like the sun... fiercely!"

"Go ahead, my girl."

The woman opened her hands, and light blossomed from her palms, as bright and dazzling as her smile:

"Go and burn your enemies... to ashes!"

……

The Guards finally finished up the matter, dealt with the bodies, and took away the surviving believers for treatment.

The person in charge of the operation praised Chen before leaving. Among all the people involved in the operation tonight, she was the only one who had gained something, and it was such a huge gain.

The scope can be instantly narrowed down to things related to religion, and victory in this battle is only one step away.

He expressed regret for the victims, and after listening to Chen's story, he almost confirmed all her actions - she successfully protected the innocent nuns and did her best to save other controlled believers. It was not easy for one person to achieve this when the enemy had powerful military force and could interfere with people's hearts.

Chen was a little dazed when accepting the praise from his boss.

Should she be happy? Should she be sad?

she does not know.

She only remembered the scene of the nun lying on the priest crying bitterly, and she only remembered that no matter how sad the nun was after losing her loved one, she also told her, like the priest, not to blame herself, and there were many other words. Finally, the nun and the priest made the same request to Chen:

"Please go and save more people."

Then Chen understood that she should neither be happy nor sad, because tonight's victory was not a victory for her, nor was it a perfect ending for anyone else.

The war is not over yet. Mourning and repentance, reflection and criticism should be carried out after the war is over.

The dazzling morning light rose from the forest of steel, passing through the church gate, illuminating a straight path and falling on Chen who was sitting on the platform.

The dragon, who had been sitting all night, welcomed the dawn and gazed at the rising sun.

There was a blazing fire in his pupils.

The temperature in Wuhan has been several degrees below zero these days. My fingers are so frozen that they are as stiff as radishes and I can't code.

The ending of yesterday's chapter was changed, but the feedback from Shuke was very strange... After reading it once, even if I changed it, the changed plot would not be realistic, which is very annoying.

No more talking, let’s go to bed.

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

Chapter 97——Returning from slacking off!

Guan Yueli stretched, yawned sweetly, and slowly got up.

The woman lying on the bed was still sleeping soundly because of the intense battle last night. The bad woman put on a kimono, blew a kiss to the woman lying on the bed, and then ran away.

Well... you can't say she ran away. After all, she left very naturally and openly. It didn't look like she had just had sex and was about to leave.

"The weather is so nice."

The woman walked out of the high-end apartment with her hands in her sleeves, squinting her eyes and gazing at the high sun, feeling happy.

"What should I do today...Xiaoxing has returned to the Guards Bureau, Xiaolou has also left, and those kids seem to have exams soon, so I can't let them be distracted."

Guan Yueli was walking on the street with a melancholy look on his face.

"Is there no little girl I can play with?"

As Guan Yueli said this, he immediately thought of a young police officer who had been working intensively for the past two days.

"It's not a good idea to deliberately look for Xiao Chen." Guan Yueli touched his chin, "He's so stubborn. He won't appreciate my kindness until the critical moment..."

"what!"

The despicable woman suddenly thought of the other playmates whom she cherished very much... no, the other good children.

"Speaking of which, how are things going over there, Xiao De?"

Two days ago, the old father, the Emperor, who was worried that his employees would be implicated in this incident, had a talk with Guan Yueli. He paid for drinks for the whole night and also invited six older sisters to come. He gave Guan Yueli enough time and only started talking about business after she was busy until almost dawn. It can be said that he had good intentions.

Guan Yueli's mind was on Chen at that time, and she didn't think much about Penguin Logistics, but after having two days of free time, she began to be interested in Penguin Logistics again.

"But I promised Penguin not to implicate those girls..."

Guan Yueli sighed wistfully. She had originally wanted to sit on the couch at Penguin Logistics and watch the back-and-forth between the Bears and the Exias, or Texas's bewildered and embattled look. But before this matter was over, she feared she wouldn't have that chance anymore.

After all, her cautious old friend has completely confirmed her existence, so after that...something big is going to happen.

"You'd better just play the trick of pretending and then take the beating."

The woman said to herself.

"Otherwise, this time, it won't be as simple as sleeping for two hundred years."

……

Chen suddenly woke up from his dream.

She looked up and around, and found that her colleagues were all staring at her with worried expressions.

"Chen, take a good rest and stop pushing yourself so hard."

Someone couldn't help but say, "Didn't you do a great job last time? Just leave the rest to those perverts in the task force."

"...I'm fine."

Chen Yang leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brows.

Fell asleep again.

She sighed softly. After the battle at the church, Chen could have retired, no longer needing to be on the front lines. After all, while she was incredibly talented, she had only been with the Imperial Guard for a few months, less than half a year. She was a complete rookie in terms of experience. There was no need for Chen to spearhead a case of this magnitude; the Imperial Guard had more experienced, skilled, and powerful operators to handle the mission.

But Chen doesn't think so.

She had faced off against that mysterious force, the mastermind behind the scenes, the god and great spirit mentioned by the priest, he was... very strange.

Because in the brief contact, this strange enemy showed extreme cruelty, viciousness, and coldness, but Chen's feeling told her that the purpose of this enemy doing these things was not to "do evil."

Even though his actions were extremely cruel, Chen could not immediately put him in the role of a "murderer" because he did not have the violence, chaos, and evil that came from the heart of a murderer.

He is simply acting...

Choose an efficient, pure, and beneficial way to act.

When the so-called "great spirit" placed the lives of priests and other believers on both ends of the scale, Chen did not feel any pleasure from committing a crime, any happiness from despising life, or any joy from torturing Chen. He did not have any of these things.

He simply...had a need, and so he examined the situation from a cold perspective, before drawing conclusions, adopting methods, and finally taking action.

He came to the conclusion that he needed to manipulate Chen's will, so he chose the most effective way and began to act. Then the tragedy that night happened, and that was it.

Such a guy is more terrifying than any vicious criminal.

Because you have no idea what He wants - Chen continuously checked and analyzed the existing intelligence, and combined with the analysis results of the task force to try to find out the purpose of this "big spirit", but she got nothing.

The types of victims range widely, including age, gender, occupation, personality, and background... No matter from which angle you analyze it, it is difficult to come up with a valid answer. You have no idea what this guy wants to do by manipulating the will of these people.

From now on, it seems that the so-called "mysterious mercenary" is indeed just as Chen thought, just an empty shell, or it can be said that it is something that "Da Ling" originally wanted to expose to the Guard Bureau. This mercenary can be replaced by anything, such as terrorists, urban legends and other nonsense, it makes no difference at all.

He wanders around Longmen like a disembodied ghost, lodging and influencing one person after another. No one knows what he is going to do, and this is the most terrifying thing.

"New information!"

Someone rushed into the office without even knocking. He gasped for breath and waved the paper in his hand. "The latest... the latest development is here! The task force has caught them!"

Almost everyone in the office stood up suddenly. As one of the teams in the special task force, they also put a lot of effort into this case, but it was far less exaggerated than Chen's.

"What is it!"

Chen had already left his seat and walked quickly to his side, eagerly taking the new report.

The gist of the report was that more than a month ago, nearly twenty people sneaked into Longmen with the help of a wave of refugees. After arriving in Longmen, each of these twenty people disguised themselves as religious figures. Some of them lingered in the slums, some roamed the Internet, and some quietly infiltrated the political and business circles. Their methods were quite terrifying.

Their concealment was excellent. After all, the world was in such dire straits that spiritual sustenance was commonplace. Longmen was rife with strange religions, large and small, that you couldn't even count them on two hands, if only four. Who would pay attention to yet another rising religion? Furthermore, they'd successfully used the "mercenary" cover to disorient the Guards, completely disregarding their involvement. Even if one of the locations was a church, they simply viewed it as a meeting point or something.

Even when the Guards Bureau targeted the "religious" area, it took a full two days of hard work to dig out their details. However, they dug up everything and even found out when they sneaked into Longmen.

The team members who understood the general situation cheered. It seemed that the Guards had finally won this war that had hardly any smell of gunpowder.

Only Chen stared at the paper with a frown on his face.

Really... is it that simple?

Chapter 98——Xingxiong: Is something wrong?

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

"Please come in."

Chen, who was busy writing a report, responded without even looking up.

The tall ghost woman pushed the door open and walked in. She looked at Chen, who was writing furiously at the conference table, and said helplessly, "I heard, Old Chen, that you've been possessed these past few days."

“This is necessary work.”

"But the higher-ups have almost finished making the arrangements..."

Xingxiong walked over to Chen and sat at the conference table. She looked down at Chen's report. The neat but dense words about herself on it made her eyelids twitch.

Clearing his throat, Xingxiong continued, "This should be the inspiring final battle, so why did you give your team members such a blast?"

Three hours after receiving the intelligence and receiving the order that all staff could participate in the front-line work, Chen convened a team meeting.

Just as Xingxiong said, her team members originally thought that it would be a symbolic mobilization meeting with encouragement. After all, the situation was clear, and their group had obtained the qualification to get some experience. How could they not be happy?

But in the end, Chen responded with a serious warning that lasted for an hour. She accurately and clearly expounded her views and theories, with clear logic and organization. Her purpose was to tell her team members that this case was definitely not that simple.

But no one listened.

They all agreed that this young team leader must be obsessed with his work and too suspicious, but they couldn't do anything about Chen - not only did Chen emphasize it to them again, he also started writing a report to submit to his superiors, and it seemed that he was going to get it done today.

So they found Xingxiong, who had a very good relationship with Chen, and tried to ask Xingxiong to help persuade Chen not to go too far.

Xingxiong herself was aware of Chen's situation. Since the beginning of working with Chen, Chen had confessed her inner anxiety - she always felt that there was an inexplicable and excessive coincidence in this whole case, and the pace of the case seemed to be completely controlled by someone.

In fact, this was indeed just a coincidence - because it was Guiminglou, not the mysterious man, who interfered with his consciousness.
