Do you think this world is serious?

Maria could hear Angelia's words and couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Then she grabbed Angelia's ear and whispered a reminder: "Angelia, have you forgotten what Cecilia told you? We should put our brother-in-law first and not cause him any trouble."

"But I didn't cause any trouble for my brother-in-law! I just wanted to try calling him 'brother.' Doesn't Sister Maria want to call him 'brother'?"

Angelia looked at Maria with feigned innocence, a sly glint in her blue eyes.

Maria was speechless, but unwilling to admit her true feelings, she could only give a half-hearted hum and release Angelia.

Delta, on the other hand, was deeply inspired. She looked at Chen Xiuming thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother-in-law...brother, what do we do next?"

Maria, remembering her identity in this world, quickly corrected her way of addressing Chen Xiuming, though her words subtly revealed an undercurrent of excitement and anticipation.

She had never tried having sex with someone in a "brother-sister" relationship before, so she subconsciously began to look forward to tonight's sexual encounter.

Chen Xiuming thought for a moment and replied, "You guys take a stroll around the area first, familiarize yourselves with the surroundings, and gather information about this world bubble."

"What about you, brother?"

Compared to Maria, who was somewhat unaccustomed to the change in identity, Angelia quickly got into the swing of things. Her manner of calling Chen Xiuming "brother" was very natural and practiced, making it hard not to suspect that she had deliberately practiced beforehand.

"I'm going to meet with my work colleagues."

Chen Xiuming took out his phone and found the contact information of a colleague who was also a member of the "Destiny Police" in his address book. His name was saved as "Ji Zi".

Chapter 125 First Meeting with Himeko.

The working hours of "volunteer police" are not fixed, and they often work at high intensity when there are supernatural cases.

For example, right now, Himeko is patrolling around, looking for people with suspicious behavior.

Recently, there have been many nighttime street attacks in Canghai City. All the victims are tall, young women, and they remain unconscious after the attacks.

Since the victim had no external injuries, except for two small bite marks on the back of his neck that looked like canine teeth, there were no exceptions.

Because these events were bizarre and had a “city ghost story” feel to them, they were classified as “supernatural cases” and handed over to Chen Xiuming and Ji Zi, who were volunteer police officers.

Himeko, perhaps because of her lack of experience and eagerness to prove herself, patrolled the streets during the day and wandered through secluded alleys at night, trying to use herself as bait to lure out attackers.

However, she overlooked one thing—

She always wore the Destiny Vigilante uniform, and unless the attacker was hopelessly stupid or completely unfamiliar with the uniform, there was no way they would dare to attack her.

This resulted in her investigation lasting quite some time, yet progress remained worrying.

After Chen Xiuming left, he called Ji Zi.

"Hello? Senior, what's up?"

"where are you?"

"I'm at Canghai Square."

"I'm coming to find you now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at Exit D of the subway station."

Ji Zi did not ask Chen Xiuming why he was looking for her, giving him full trust.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiuming turned to the map navigation to check the route to "Canghai Square".

Although he has a legitimate identity and has lived in this world for a long time, he is actually a newcomer and is not very familiar with this city.

The "Canghai Square" that Ji Zi mentioned is the square with the largest flow of people in Canghai City. Almost everyone in Canghai City knows it, and there are often vendors setting up stalls here to sell some novel trinkets.

As a result, even the sweltering heat cannot stop people from visiting and shopping at Canghai Square.

Himeko's reason for patrolling Canghai Square was very simple: the square had a large flow of people, and she might be able to spot any suspicious strangers.

Following the map navigation, Chen Xiuming took the subway to Canghai Square where Ji Zi was.

“My dear Xiuming, there are no Honkai Beasts in this city, but there are some rather interesting creatures.”

Gana's slightly amused voice rang in Chen Xiuming's ears.

Chen Xiuming glanced sideways at the smiling Gana beside him, but did not say anything.

This isn't a private indoor space; speaking to Janna might attract the attention of others.

After all, only Chen Xiuming could see Janna and Kiana of the End, so when he talked to them, it was no different from talking to himself in other people's eyes.

Gana was still wearing that old-fashioned blue and white nun's habit. Standing next to Chen Xiuming, she reached out and held the handrail, making her look like a normal human being.

Whenever someone approaches Janna's spirit, she shatters and disappears like smoke, reappearing in another open space.

Kiana stood by the car window, staring blankly at Chen Xiuming's reflection, lost in thought.

Canghai City is much larger than the Crescent Moon New District in Magical Girl World, but its overall combat strength is inferior to that of Crescent Moon New District.

The magic possessed by magical girls can indeed interfere with technological products to a certain extent, and bypassing surveillance cameras is a piece of cake.

During his subway ride to Canghai Square, Chen Xiuming didn't waste any time, constantly browsing various information about Canghai City to quickly learn about this unfamiliar city.

As he learned more about Canghai City, he understood why Himeko was so eager to resolve the nighttime attack incident.

The large number of victims and the slow progress of the investigation have kept the nighttime attack case a hot topic.

This situation will undoubtedly increase the pressure on Himeko, who wants to achieve results.

However, finding the culprit behind the nighttime attack in the vast city of Canghai is no easy task.

……

Canghai Square, Exit D of the subway station.

As soon as Chen Xiuming stepped out of the subway station, he spotted Ji Zi waiting there.

Compared to Himeko Murata in the [Original World], the Himeko in this world is younger.

Although she lacks some of the mature and sophisticated aura of a sophisticated woman, she exudes youthful vigor and a touch of naivety, giving off a youthful and beautiful yet spirited vibe.

—Himeko of the World Bubble was only 19 years old.

"Good afternoon, senior."

In front of Chen Xiuming, Ji Zi naturally shed her heroic and spirited side, leaving only the vigor and liveliness of a "junior".

While nodding in response, Chen Xiuming did not forget to make a soft nasal sound.

Stepping out of the subway station, you can feel the oppressive heat hitting you.

The Honkai energy within him flowed through his limbs and bones, quickly alleviating the scorching heat of the summer day.

Still no results?

Chen Xiuming asked calmly.

Himeko shook her head slightly, her tone somewhat disappointed and dejected: "My investigation hasn't made any progress. What about you, senior?"

"There has been some progress, but it's still unclear."

As a newcomer, Chen Xiuming naturally couldn't "investigate" any useful information. However, based on his understanding of the plot, he was able to basically determine the details of the nighttime attack.

Like traditional urban legends, the nighttime attacks were indeed the work of vampires, but the origins of vampires are rather complicated.

"As expected of a senior."

Himeko was amazed, then her mood became very depressed. "I've been busy for a long time, but there's been no real progress..."

"Himeko, you did a great job."

Chen Xiuming gently comforted Ji Zi.

Putting aside the progress, Himeko's work attitude has proven that she is a very qualified "vigilante," but her investigative methods are still very immature, or even stupid.

Such a needle-in-a-haystack investigation is destined to yield little result, and may even come up empty-handed.

In the face of such cases, using technology for investigation is often the most effective and fastest method. Even if the target can avoid surveillance cameras, one can try "fishing" and use "bait" that matches the victim's criteria to lure the target into the trap.

Of course, it's not advisable to fish while wearing a vigilante uniform like Himeko did.

"Your words of comfort made me very happy, but..."

Himeko sighed softly, not continuing the conversation, but instead changing the subject: "Senior, could you accompany me on this investigation tonight?"

"No problem, but I suggest you change your clothes before conducting the investigation. Don't conduct the investigation in your uniform."

"I listen to my seniors."

Himeko nodded, then continued, "Shall we meet at the entrance of the Houmu Happy Restaurant at midnight tonight?"

"Okay, but..."

Chen Xiuming seemed to be thinking, "Which Houmu Happy Restaurant are you referring to?"

Common restaurants like Houmu Happy Restaurant often have more than a dozen chain stores in each city.

There are quite a few Homu Happy Restaurants in the world of the three Shaniat sisters. Cecilia initially liked to eat at Homu Happy Restaurants, but later she got tired of them and stopped going there often.

Chapter 126 Anila: A Promising Future

That night.

The night sky over Canghai City was clear and bright, but there were few stars to be seen.

After agreeing on the specific location for the night's investigation with Ji Zi in the afternoon, Chen Xiuming accompanied Ji Zi on patrol for a while before strictly ordering her to go back and rest to be fully prepared for tonight's investigation.

If Chen Xiuming hadn't asked Ji Zi to go back and rest, she would most likely have chosen to patrol until evening, rest briefly, and then prepare for tonight's investigation.

Himeko's investigations often lasted until around 4 or 5 a.m., and then she would continue patrolling during the day, repeating this cycle repeatedly.

If Himeko weren't a "Valkyrie," she might have collapsed from exhaustion due to the high intensity of her work long ago.

"Brother, are you really not coming home tonight?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Angela grabbed Chen Xiuming's sleeve, trying to change his mind by "playing the victim".
