Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Lady Fumizuki spoke, and Hoshiguma had no choice but to give up.

……

That same evening, Mike strolled through the Lungmen Night Market alone, without anyone to accompany him; he was used to it.

Before I had walked more than a few steps, I was holding fried skewers, drinks, and stinky tofu.

Back when he was on Rhodes Island, the operators in charge of his daily life would always restrict his diet, saying it was to ensure a balanced diet.

Every time Mike thinks about this incident, the image of the little mongoose comes to mind.

As expected of Kal'tsit's student, Aya perfectly inherited the lynx's strictness and bad temper, always finding fault with him and even confiscating his snacks.

The good news is that he has been away from Rhodes Island for a long time and is finally free from dietary problems. For example, if Aya saw him now, she would definitely make a huge fuss.

After a lifetime of fighting, with world peace and a wonderful life, can't we just enjoy ourselves?

Mike wandered around the outer ring night market a few times. Besides food, he also bought a mask, which was said to be a traditional hero of Yan. But he couldn't really understand the design and seriously suspected that he had been tricked by the roadside stall owner.

As I walked along, a young woman named Fei Lin came towards me. She was wearing a beautiful dress and had long, flowing golden hair. However, she seemed to be in a bad mood, crying and wiping away her tears. She looked incredibly pitiful.

Mike didn't notice the problem at first, but after taking a closer look, he was shocked to find it was Swire.

What's Swire doing here?

Are you dressed like this to attend a party?

Since Swire left the old carp's house, she thought someone should come after her, but after walking more than a hundred meters, she found that there was no one there. Her already depressed mood was further aggravated, and tears welled up in her eyes. No matter how much she wiped them away, she couldn't stop them. Her legs unknowingly led her to the night market on the outer ring of Longmen.

I'd heard this place was lively before, but Swire wasn't in the mood at all. It was also because the environment around the outer ring was indeed quite nice now. When people saw a little girl crying, they didn't have any bad intentions; they just kept their distance to avoid bumping into her.

It's probably because the version has been updated.

This made Swire's mood even worse.

Unfortunately, someone ungrateful blocked her way.

hateful.

Don't underestimate her.

No matter what, she is still the head of the Royal Guard Bureau.

Swire looked up and saw that the person was wearing a mask, neither human nor ghost, completely inexplicable.

"Step aside."

The cold words came through, but Mike remained motionless, like a wall: "Miss, you walked right up to me and expect me to move aside. That's a bit unreasonable."

Swire glared at the other person. Fine, if they don't want to give in, fine. Can't I just give in?

Just as the two brushed past each other, Swire, whose mind was a complete blank, suddenly remembered something.

Where have I heard this voice before?

Is it an illusion?

No, no.

Swire's keen intuition told her she hadn't misheard.

"stop."

Mike had already walked several steps away when he heard the girl's scolding behind him.

Does every head of the Royal Guard Bureau reprimand this skill?

Chen Huijie has yelled like that before, and Swire has yelled like that before. Will it be Hoshiguma's turn next?

Mike stopped in his tracks and remained motionless.

"Miss, I haven't done anything to offend you, have I?"

“Turn around.”

Mike still didn't move.

Those around them had already turned their attention to the incident, treating it as a source of amusement for conversation.

Swire is also easily embarrassed, so it's somewhat inappropriate for her to show her Guard Bureau credentials in public.

She quickened her pace and turned to face the man, reaching out to remove his mask and revealing a face that was both strange and familiar.

Mike Ann, I knew it was you.

Mike initially wanted to turn around and leave, but then he thought that this might stop Swire from crying, which was a good idea.

As the principal of a kindergarten in Rhode Island, it's natural for me to take care of the children's emotions.

Mike slowly raised his hands: "Miss Swire, I don't remember doing anything to you, there are so many people here, look..."

"Come with me."

"Where to go?"

"Just come with me."

The little tiger grabbed Mike's arm aggressively and dragged him to the side of the road. Just as they passed a cheap ice cream shop, Mike suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll buy two drinks."

Swire initially wanted to refuse, but considering the attitude of everyone in the Old Carp family towards Mike Ann, he decided to give him another try.

She's the head of the Royal Guard Bureau, and she's not stupid. How could she not see that most people's attitudes were ambiguous?

Lin Yuxia was one thing, but even Governor Wei and Madam Wenyue were tight-lipped about him, which shows how mysterious this man was.

Perhaps what happened in the outer ring road is related to him. (255595300 'Chihiro')

Moreover, Swire harbored a bold suspicion in his mind.

A few minutes later, Mike returned. Swire stared at the two cheapest lemon teas in his hand and snorted, "Thanks, I'll give you the money."

Mike laughed and said, "I thought I wouldn't meet Miss Swire's standards."

The little tiger ignored him.

Plain water is fine to drink, beverages are fine to drink, and red wine is fine too. Just go with the flow, what's wrong with that?

The straw punctured the wrapper, and Swire took a sip. The lemon tea was a little sweet, but you couldn't ask for more.

She lowered her head and asked, "Why are you here?"

29. He can't escape.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that, Miss Swire? You're dressed so beautifully, are you going to a banquet?"

Swire glared at Mike: "Answer me first."

“Okay, okay,” Mike quickly nodded in agreement. “I’m here because I live nearby. Is there anything wrong with going out for a stroll at night? Does the Guard Bureau not allow me to go out and spend money?”

It was only then that Swire noticed the food Mike was carrying in his other hand. It was mostly food from roadside stalls, heavily oiled, salty, and spicy, which she usually wouldn't have considered.

"I never expected you to be this kind of person."

Mike was both amused and exasperated: "So what kind of person does Miss Swire think I am? I'm just the owner of a car repair shop, nothing more."

"really?"

Swire's question made Mike laugh in exasperation: "Fine, fine, Miss Swire, Chief, you tell me, what should I be?"

The little tiger had suspected him more than once or twice, and had even arrested him and taken him to the Guard Bureau. Even with Hoshiguma covering for him, he couldn't handle it if it happened a couple more times.

Besides, too many operators in Lungmen recognized him; he should have hidden in Lontinim or the Grand Knights Territory.

But upon closer reflection, that would actually be even worse. More people in Lontinim know him, and Kazimierz also has the ever-present Platinum and the single-minded Gravel who wants to devour him. His fate might not be much better than Lungmen's.

Seeing the man's absent-minded look, Swire, who was standing next to him, just wanted to kick him.

Why did you get distracted while we were talking?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Swire, I was thinking about something else."

The girl, Feilin, frowned, and the redness in her eyes gradually faded. As long as someone helped her distract herself, she could relieve her depression and embarrassment.

However, this also has its drawbacks; it increases Mike's risk of being exposed.

Since he was the one who deliberately appeared in front of Swire, he could have easily blended into the crowd and gone to the other side.

Mike thought to himself, "This can only be blamed on Swire being too beautiful and rich. Her fluffy ears feel so nice to pinch, and not only that, her big tail feels amazing."

Many people don't know that Swire had a fatal weakness: her tail.

Every time the little tiger played with him and pinned the skinny Mike down, Mike would resort to this tactic: grabbing her tail, and the feline would go limp on him, powerless and at his mercy.

"So those things in the outer ring of Longmen really have nothing to do with you?"

"Of course, what kind of person does Miss Swire think I am? Do you think I'm capable of doing those things? Am I some kind of third wheel that can emit such bright light?"

Many people witnessed the intense light that erupted from the Royal Guard Bureau and the outer ring of Lungmen. This event was destined to remain unexplained and was eventually left unresolved.

"So, you're saying you're innocent?"

"At least one thing is related: my bicycle was stolen by someone and taken to the outsider area on the outer ring, and then Ms. Yukichi accidentally got her hands on it. I don't believe it was her, but I hope the Guard Bureau can help catch the thief."

Swire had also heard about this, but hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. Now, thinking back, there are probably other details, and he needs to find an opportunity to ask Snowsick about them.

Little Liboli was having a hard time, investing most of her funds and salary into experimental projects. If you wanted her to speak up, Swire had a clever way of doing it, and she wasn't afraid that Snow Pheasant would refuse.

Meanwhile, Mike had already figured out Swire's intentions perfectly. Little Tiger would definitely target Snowstalker, and Little Liberi, once he knew his identity, would keep it a secret between the two of them. Forget about being tortured into confessing; the only outcome would be that he would rather die than confess.

As for what tactics Swire would use, he had already seen them all on Rhodes Island.

I'm rich.

That was Miss Poetry's catchphrase back then.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, walked a little further and exchanged some more meaningless conversations.

On the same road, at the same moment, a very coincidental scene unfolded.

Rhodes Island's medical team operator Sussurro, her friend Myrrh, and a medical operator with a general artwork are taking a walk when they happen to walk towards each other.

Sussuruo and Moyao immediately recognized Swire. After all, Miss Swire's blonde hair was too eye-catching. She was the most beautifully dressed person on the street, and it would be hard not to recognize her.

The medic with the universal character art also recognized the man walking next to Miss Swire.

He was still wearing the casual clothes he wore after get off work, with the mask on the right side of his head. To outsiders, the atmosphere between the man and the woman couldn't have been more harmonious.
