Hello, Arknights

Chapter 108: Quite unexpected...

"Is this the kind of trouble you usually face?" After the battle, looking at the unconscious gangsters lying in a mess on the ground, Ling Dengxian raised his hand and lit a wisp of white flame to apply it to the wound on his cheek. Then, Lao Liu attacked from the side, but he was dealing with three people on the left and didn't notice.

"It was very easy today. The troublesome character was dealt with by Texas at the very beginning, and the rest came after me because they were unwilling to accept it." Exiah said lightly, happily checking whether the gun staff was functioning properly.

"...So, why do you want to drag me into this?" Provence asked timidly, raising his hand.

"Well, aren't you a newcomer too?" asked Archangel doubtfully.

"I'm the only newcomer, and she is a passing messenger of natural disaster." Ling Dengxian said and gave Provence an apologetic look.

"Ah?" The Archangel was surprised. "I thought you were together. After all, you looked like you had been walking in the wilderness for a long time.

"How could you handle it without anyone by your side?"

Ling Dengxian looked away and forced a smile.

I was used to it before.

"Exiac, let's go." After checking the battlefield, Rupert nodded to her to indicate that it was over.

"Won't the Longmen Guards come?" Provence asked weakly.

"That won't happen in the slums. Things here will naturally be taken care of by someone else." Croissant explained, "It's almost an unwritten rule. So where are we going to celebrate later?"

"What are you celebrating?" Ling Dengxian asked puzzledly.

"Of course we welcome newcomers! Miss Rupert, the big-tailed one, come along as well. Consider it our apology for accidentally implicating you." The optimistic Exiah seemed to be very familiar with this set of outgoing operations.

It’s the same type of substitute as the bagpipe... No, the same type of interpersonal attitude, although there are certain differences.

"I'm afraid it's no use." Texas' ears moved and he suddenly looked towards the end of the road. Then, a team of police cars followed the sound of sirens coming from far away.

"When something happens and you go to the Guard Bureau, just report the names of the three little guys in Group A. After all, your situation is special." Mr. Yis's words were still fresh in his ears. Ling Dengxian's mentality collapsed a little, and then he approached someone calmly.

"Texas, I'm still an illegal resident." Ling Dengxian said briefly.

"Then take that person and leave quickly." Texas nodded to show that he understood, "Croissant, help block the view."

"?" So Provence, with a confused look on his face, was dragged away by Ling Dengxian again. The two of them disappeared into the alleys of Longmen slums in a flash.

Rupert's red and black amber gradient eyes watched quietly, unable to find any doubts about his words and actions.

But why does she hate him a little?

Provence on the other side had the same doubts. Ling Dengxian had clearly saved her life, and today's situation was safe and sound, but why did she gradually feel an inexplicable feeling of disgust in her heart?

She was definitely not that kind of person! This feeling of confusion was eroding her attitude towards Ling Dengxian.

Ling Dengxian naturally didn't know this. After running for a long time, he stopped and let go of his hand. Provence shook his head to get rid of the bad thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Uh...how many times have you been to Longmen?"

"It's happened many times. What's wrong?"

"You should know the way to the slums, right?"

"..."

On the other side, the three people in Texas were still wondering why they were stopped today. After thinking about it, they suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the one on duty today. That was not surprising. When they saw the dragon getting off the car, the Angel of Power sighed:

"Officer Chen, nice to see you again..."

"I hope you guys can behave yourself..." The dragon girl also sighed, her eyes complicated, "What happened today?"

"Today we are good citizens, innocent!" Archangel immediately jumped up to make his position clear.

"Exiam, we are usually innocent too..." Croissant added.

"Okay, if there's anything, tell the bureau. Dayang, bring a few 'regulars' on board." Chen sighed again. Penguin Logistics was a special existence for Longmen. Sometimes that guy would also need it. In addition, there was a reimbursement guarantee from the emperor behind the scenes, so they really could only go through the process.

However, as far as the results are concerned, they have indeed never broken the two deadlines of "not affecting the citizens" and "not threatening the operation of Longmen".

The chaos caused from time to time by Penguin Logistics has become a hot topic among the citizens of Longmen.

Supervising the escort of the gangsters on the ground, Chen came to the Penguin Logistics car, which also needed to be driven back. She just wanted to "appreciate" how "excellent" they were this time.

"Hmm? Do they usually carry backpacks when they go out?" Chen turned around and asked, "Can I check this bag?"

"Huh? It's not mine—" Texas stopped the Angel from talking: "Mine, okay."

Chen felt something was wrong, but didn't think much about it. He opened it and took a look, only to find that it was empty.

"What's going on?" Chen frowned and turned around to ask, "Why do you bring this thing?"

To see what happens, she deliberately blurred the point of whether she was referring to the backpack or the 'things' in the backpack.

"I'm going to buy some daily necessities when I go back. I've been spending a lot recently, so I'll bring a bag." Rupert remained calm.

I didn't fall for it. Chen shook his head, put his backpack back on the seat, sat in the driver's seat and glanced at the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye.

The hedgehog passenger had tears in his eyes.

"Awesome." Chen exclaimed, started the engine and caught up with the convoy, but not very fast - because the windshield was broken and she didn't wear glasses.

"Da Yang, take your men back to the bureau first and control the relevant personnel. Ask the people from Penguin Logistics to pay some attention and take a statement. Notify Mr. Yis to come and pick up the people." Chen gave a brief instruction into the intercom. She could go slower, but the escort work could not be slow.

"Got it, Sir Chen, please slow down and be careful."

Chen put down the walkie-talkie and started to concentrate on driving, then he saw two people standing on the side of the road looking for a ride.

Ling Dengxian and Provence looked in silence at the familiar-looking car parked in front of them. When the driver rolled down the window and the hedgehog-like passenger seat came into view, Ling Dengxian was sure that this was the car he had ridden in not long ago.

But the driver turned out to be Chen!

"Are we walking into a trap now..." Ling Dengxian and Provence whispered to each other at the same time, and then fell silent again.

"You two, are there any tourists from out of town who are lost?" Chen asked.

"Yes, Ms. Police Sir..." Ling Dengxian had the impression that Chen had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and was full of righteousness. He was not used to such concern at the moment, but he could understand that Chen's attitude towards tourists here was the same as Longmen's attitude.

"Then get in the car. I'll take you to the city center." Chen said decisively.

"Thanks……"
