Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

"Well, probably."

Spending time with these veteran police officers always reminded An Xin of her past life, of the time she spent with her master and the others.

He quite enjoyed it, especially when people offered him cigarettes. He said he didn't smoke, and the veteran officers would tease him, saying he'd definitely learn someday, just like before...

It seems like nothing has changed.

An Xin rode her motorcycle towards the slums, preparing to carry out the instructions given to her by Chen Huijie.

It's not accurate to say there's nothing at all.

After leaving Chen Huijie's office, with the help of the veteran police officer, he found a document.

The above indicates the location of the incident, the details, and several possible organizations involved in the fight.

Oh, it should be called a family?

That's what the Syracuseans call themselves.

An Xin stuffed the documents into her pocket, preparing to go to the scene of the fight first, and then question the families one by one.

The better the public security and governance of a place, the less need there is for organized crime.

When gangs emerge in a city, it indicates that there are areas where police and government oversight are inadequate, and these violent organizations become entities that maintain order.

An Xin could see that the Guard Bureau lacked manpower and could barely maintain order in both the wealthy and the working-class areas. The slums were in complete chaos, so it was no surprise that gangs would emerge there.

He's now thinking about something else: whether what he experienced in the game was just a game, or whether he had traveled back in time.

Chapter Sixteen: The Past

I've already met several people with the same name; it's too much of a coincidence.

Ghost Sister, Chen Huijie, Wei Yanwu, Swire, even if the game is based on reality, it can't be this coincidental, right?

Could it be that we've really gone back to the past?

An Xin was unsure.

You can't exactly run up to Chen Huijie and ask her, "I hugged you twenty years ago, pinched your cheeks, and made a promise to meet you again someday."

If the game is just a game, then An Xin is doomed. But if the game is about going back in time and everything he experiences is real, then Chen Huijie is doomed.

Want to bet?

An Xin smiled.

Forget it.

If the game really does take you back in time, Chen Huijie would definitely recognize him, right? Twenty years have passed; she can't possibly have no memory of him at all.

Not to mention, neither Ghost Sister nor Swire had any recollection of him, so the game was definitely just a game.

Let's verify it again when we have the chance; for now, our priority is to complete the tasks at hand.

Anxin arrived at the slum and discovered that there was a candy store there.

A little mouse looked out the window and watched a blond young man speeding past on a motorcycle.

-----------

Rhodes Island, a Blood Demon is hanging on the bridge, howling loudly.

"Kal'tsit?! Kal'tsit! How could you do this to me? All I did was steal a box of inhibitors. I'm a founding father, a veteran of two generations."

Kal'tsit, Kal'tsit! Put me down, the sun is so hot! I'm dying of thirst, so I secretly went out and bought a few suppressants!

You can't do this to me! I shed blood for the Tower of Babel, I fought for Rhodes Island...

In the shadows, the two cats watched Warfarin, singing in unison.

"so poor."

"Yes, yes, so pitiful."

"Then put her down?"

"No, Kal'tsit will be angry."

"What are you looking at?" The young rabbit walked over to Rosemary and Blaze, and following their gaze, saw Warfarin hanging up.

Amiya had heard a little about what happened early this morning; it was such a big deal, there was no way she wouldn't know.

They steal inhibitors and sell them for money.

Being hung here is simply deserved.

But she also felt a little soft-hearted, so she went down below Warfarin, looked up, and shouted.

"How about you apologize to Kal'tsit? I'll pass on a message for you; stealing a few inhibitors is nothing."

"No!" Warfarin initially refused, then turned to pleading.

"Amiya! Amiya, save me! Put me down!"

"Sigh..." Rabbit sighed. She gets called out about once a week on average, and each time she has to beg her.

"Even if I put you down, Ms. Kal'tsit will still hang you up. Unless you apologize, she won't let you down until she calms down."

"Amiya~ You can't just abandon me! I only went out to sell inhibitors, it's not like I didn't get the money back, how can that be called stealing?"

Besides, think about it, there must be infected people who don't know about Rhodes Island, and some people can't even afford Rhodes Island's inhibitors. I'm doing a good deed."

That voice was so moving that it brought tears to anyone's eyes; Warfarin was always prone to weeping in such situations.

"Hmm... So, you're doing a good deed? I don't quite believe it."

Amiya scratched her head. "Why don't you tell me what you did on this trip?"

"If I tell you, will you put me down?" Warfarin's eyes lit up.

"You go first," the little rabbit blinked.

Warfarin suddenly had the illusion that her child had grown up and could no longer be fooled.

She talked about meeting An Xin and then about Longmen. Of course, she hid the part about her being a vampire and portrayed An Xin as a poor person who couldn't afford inhibitors.

He simply couldn't afford the inhibitors.

Amiya had a slight question about his radiant appearance.

It feels like it's been ages since I've seen Dr. Warfarin like this. I think the last time was when I bumped into her while she was drawing blood from the doctor.

Amiya wonders when she can rescue the Doctor. She always wants the Doctor to come back.

In fact, if the Doctor were still alive, Rhodes Island would never have ended up in this situation; Warfarin would have been hung up for stealing a few doses of inhibitors.

Rhodes Island is facing problems in various aspects, except for healthcare.

The economy, in particular, has been in deficit for a long time.

Amiya turned her attention back to Warfarin, listening to her tell the story of the young man she liked.

"In the end, he even let me drink his blood. You can tell I'm still pretty charming, haha!"

She laughed loudly, "I like him quite a bit, and I even branded him, so he's mine now. If other blood demons bump into him, they'll naturally back away."

He's really great! His blood smells sweet, his body is strong, and his face is just what I like.

In the past, before I could control my bloodsucking urges, I definitely wouldn't have been able to resist sucking this amazing food dry.

"Hmm... So, Dr. Warfarin, you went to suck blood?" Amiya tilted her head.

"Uh......"

Warfarin's smile froze instantly; she realized she had gotten carried away and given herself away.

"Dr. Warfarin, you'd better reflect on your actions carefully up there."

The little rabbit left quickly.

Warfarin panicked, her eyes widened, and with a series of wild movements, she made the rope swing back and forth.

"Amiya! Amiya!"

--------------

Leaving aside Warfarin who was hanging upside down, let's turn our attention back to the Lungmen slums.

Lin Yuxia chased after him out of the candy store, and as she watched his departing figure, she almost thought she was seeing things.

so similar.

Really.

It was almost exactly the same as she remembered.

However, the age doesn't match.

That person from back then must be at least forty years old now. Surely he hasn't changed at all?

Compared to Swire, who had no memory of the incident, Lin Yuxia still remembered it, not to mention Chen Huijie, who always kept that person in mind.

She figured she wouldn't get anywhere here, so she decided to drive to the Guard Bureau to get some answers.
