Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

There's no need to improve your abilities; all you need to do is find Talulah without revealing her location.

An Xin stretched and got back into the car.

As the engines roared, the night in Longmen seemed to be awakened, welcoming the first rays of morning light.

Dawn broke, and day broke.

The target is the slums.

On the way, An Xin tried out the Level 2 Detective Magic Eye.

Unlike its initial function, it now requires being released by a player, at which point the game system will display a blue screen.

This time, it was as if the field of vision suddenly darkened, and Chen Huijie, who was lying next to her, appeared with a light blue border, which An Xin noticed immediately.

The range is roughly a circle with a radius of 1,500 meters centered on him, and it seems that each point of life increases the radius by 100 meters.

Using it three or four times in a row was no problem, but on the fifth time, An Xin felt her mind go blank.

He immediately stopped the car, took two deep breaths, shook his head, and realized that he had arrived at the location of the Guard Bureau.

At that time, there was no Guard Bureau here, and the Guard Bureau building no longer existed.

However, the second shop around the corner from the Imperial Guard Bureau was the rice noodle roll shop where he had eaten that morning, and it even had a blue sign.

Looking at the time, it's time to open.

An Xin nudged Chen Huijie's shoulder. Chen Huijie tilted her head, hugged her clothes tightly, frowned, and the drool that had been dripping from the corner of her mouth had already dried.

"Get up, Huijie."

"Huh?" She first opened her eyes abruptly, then closed them again, turned around, and suddenly seemed to remember something, her body springing back as if it were on springs.

Chen Huijie wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, grabbed An Xin's wrist, and her eyes were red.

"What time is it? Have you found the little tower yet?"

"Couldn't find it." An Xin shook her head. "But it's still early, how about we go get some rice noodle rolls?"

“Oh…” Chen Huijie nodded, looked at her clothes, and prepared to return them to An Xin.

"Never mind, if you're not cold, just leave it in the car." An Xin turned off the engine, unbuckled Chen Huijie's seatbelt, and then unbuckled her own as well.

The moment the car door opened, a rush of cold air filled the car, and Chen Huijie shivered. She wrapped her trench coat tighter around herself, wanting to put it on, but found that it was too long for her and would drag on the ground.

"Wait a minute." An Xin closed the door, went to the passenger seat, and hugged Chen Huijie tightly with one arm, her trench coat enveloping her tightly.

"Ugh?!"

Through the trench coat, Chen Huijie could feel the muscles in An Xin's arms. Being held in his arms gave her a sense of security.

She closed her eyes and let Anxin carry her into the rice noodle roll shop, listening to him yell at the owner.

"Two servings of rice noodle rolls, with shredded poultry and three kinds of mushrooms, sand and seafood sauce, and extra rice noodles."

After saying that, the two of them found a place.

Chen Huijie sat on the chair, her two feet dangling in the air, swinging back and forth, and asked.

"Any clues?"

"I guess so. I suspect it might be in the slums. Anyway, let's go take a look."

"Really in the slums?"

"Probably, don't worry, I will take you to find your sister, I promise, we made a promise."

In the shadows, the woman in the black cloak protecting Chen Huijie shook her head, her face beneath the black veil unable to suppress a smile.

Before they could even spread false information, this guy went to the slums on his own.

The information they have received so far is that Koschche has shown no signs of appearing and is likely hiding in an affluent area rather than a slum.

Since An Xin was able to take Chen Huijie to the slums, she definitely wouldn't run into Kosichek.

The men in black straw raincoats felt they should also have a meal when the rice noodle rolls were served.

An Xin took the plate from the boss, handed one to Chen Huijie, then took out disposable chopsticks, broke them in half, tossed them to her, and started eating by herself.

"Woo~" Chen Huijie took the chopsticks and lowered her head.

"You don't know how to use chopsticks?" An Xin was taken aback.

"meeting!"

Her way of using chopsticks was really a little strange, but she did know how to use them to some extent.

She really is a rich young lady.

The main problem was that she was too young. An Xin ate while trying to gather information.

Do you know Coschick?

"........"

silence.

I probably don't know.

It seems Wei Yanwu didn't tell the sisters what happened back then; there are many hidden stories behind it.

Even if you ask Chen Huijie again, you probably won't get any information. She's just a child, and Wei Yanwu definitely won't tell her anything.

The two ate quickly without chatting further. Chen Huijie silently memorized everything An Xin had ordered.

In the misty morning air, the sun rose above Lungmen. The two men got back into the car and headed towards the slums.

Half an hour later, the city turned gray.

Chen Huijie swallowed hard and moved a little closer to An Xin.

Chapter Six: It's Late

The car drove around the slums, and Anxin could only use the simplest methods to conduct a thorough search for Talulah's existence.

The Detective Eyes will cast a light blue glow over anyone he has investigated.

As long as Talulah is within range, Anxin will definitely notice her.

Unfortunately, the Detective Eye cannot be kept open indefinitely.

You can use it a maximum of five times per hour, then rest for an hour before heading to find Talulah.

During this break, An Xin looked at Longmen from twenty years ago, and it seemed no different from twenty years later, especially the slums.

In the corner of his eye, a figure flashed by. An Xin turned her head and stared at the green-haired woman in the alley.

He was about the same height as him, wearing patterned tight-fitting clothes, and carrying a triangular shield.

It looks familiar.

An Xin didn't pay much attention, her mind returning to the car. Looking at the dilapidated building in the distance, it was the only tall building in the slum, next to the other side of the working-class area. It looked like it was abandoned and had become a deserted building.

During the break, An Xin and Chen Huijie chatted idly, exchanging only a few words.

"Huijie, you seem to really like martial arts novels?"

"Ah."

"Do you know what a hero is?" An Xin hadn't actually read many martial arts novels; most of them came from her father. When she was in junior high school, she would bring a few of her father's martial arts novels to class to read.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen told him that the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. Since Mr. Chen Huijie also loves reading martial arts novels, he felt it wouldn't hurt to talk to her about it.

The little girl blurted out, "Supporting justice? Fighting for the underdog?"

“Well, more or less. This kind of person can be called a knight-errant, but…” An Xin nodded, paused for a few seconds, and then said, “The greatest knights-errant are those who serve their country and its people.”

Chen Huijie was taken aback, muttering to herself that it was too early for a six-year-old to say such a thing.

An Xin didn't pay any attention.

The two searched for a whole day, but found nothing.

Chen Huijie was a little discouraged and squatted on the side of the street. An Xin sat on the steps next to her, watching the setting sun stretch her shadow long, as if it could drag her into an endless abyss.

Logically speaking, An Xin, who has a mission to complete, should be even more anxious than Chen Huijie.

But he was not discouraged at all. When he was a policeman, there were many more urgent cases than this.

An Xin patted Chen Huijie on the shoulder, "Go get something to eat first. You've only eaten one serving of rice noodle rolls all day."

"Oh." She nodded.

The two randomly chose a barbecue restaurant. The walls were covered in stains and the tables and chairs were dilapidated. Even so, the restaurant was still crowded with people coming and going. They could only choose a seat near the door.

An Xin was very fortunate that his first game was in Longmen, which was a lucky thing.

Although I don't have much money, I'm not penniless, and I can still afford to eat barbecue.

After ordering a bunch of food, a tall, green-haired girl walked into the barbecue restaurant. She was the same girl An Xin had seen in the alley that morning.

The air was quiet for a moment, then the others lowered their voices and resumed the lively atmosphere, only less noisy.

She entered the room and found there were no seats, so she simply grabbed a stool, sat down next to the beer crate without asking for anything, and drank the beer by herself.
