Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

He is in pain.

As a grassroots police officer, he always looked down on those politicians. Even though he knew there was a gray area between black and white, he still thought they were dirty, despicable, and would do anything for their own benefit.

In An Xin's mind, he believes that the world has black and white, right and wrong, fairness, justice, and true equity.

But often, none of these things are available.

That's why he needs to fight for it.

He believed that Wei Yanwu would never allow his two nieces to become new politicians, and that he could raise them well.

The backstory states that Wei Yanwu was forced to kill Edward because of Koschke's conspiracy.

Strictly speaking, Koschei is Talulah's father's killer.

However, these words, spoken by an outsider, are basically unconvincing; Kosiché could easily refute them with a simple "you weren't there."

An Xin had no better way to persuade Chen Huijie and Talulah. He turned to look at the smiling old man and took a deep breath.

Since persuasion is ineffective, there's another option.

run!

In an instant, the fifteen points of life gave An Xin strength and stamina, allowing him to unleash a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She turned her head and hugged the two children.

Following the stairs without railings, An Xin jumped directly from one side to the other.

Kosiché didn't chase after her; he just watched An Xin's retreating figure and shook his head.

"It's a pity you can't understand me."

Chapter Nine Oripathy

When An Xin ran away, the game system assumed his persuasion had failed and he did not receive any points.

But he doesn't care.

Even if he chose option two and watched helplessly as Talulah was taken away, his conscience would torment him for the rest of his life, ten or twenty years from now.

Fortunately, Kosich did not give chase, but unfortunately, others stopped Anxin.

An Xin used her Detective Eye on them, but got nothing except the name "Snake Scales".

For the first time, he experienced the political struggles of this world, which were not limited to behind-the-scenes rivalries, but tended more towards violent confrontations, like flipping the table.

He originally thought he was quite strong, but after only two days of the game, powerful figures like Black Cloak, Snake Scale, Wei Yanwu, and Koschche shattered his self-perception.

An Xin then realized her own weakness.

He was no longer a young and vigorous "strongman" who wielded firearms and could protect the people, but merely a weakling with only fifteen lives, holding a longsword and a staff.

He couldn't even protect two little girls.

Despite the relentless pursuit, Talulah continued to struggle, trying to break free from Anxin.

"They're fucking amazing!"

An Xin couldn't help but curse aloud; he hadn't even touched his weapon in his arms while holding the two of them.

He said as he ran.

"Quiet down, Talulah. I'm telling you, there's something fishy about your father's death. Wei Yanwu would never kill Edward so easily; he was his sworn brother."

I don't know about others, but when Guan Yu died, Liu Bei was still in tears. Even if Wei Yanwu was inhuman, he must have felt terrible.

Listen to my advice: even if you don't want to live with Wei Yanwu, you can't go with Kosich.

There may be no good on either side, but Talulah, remember, you can't judge things from just one perspective; you must stick to your principles.

An Xin's attention was entirely focused on the snake scales' attack, and she had no idea what she was saying.

Chen Huijie felt like she was going to throw up from all the jolting and didn't hear a thing.

Talulah, instead of changing her mind after hearing Anxin's words, bit his wrist.

She didn't want to go back. In Talulah's eyes, An Xin was just a guard hired by Wei Yanwu, and she would definitely take her back to Wei Yanwu's side.

"hiss........."

An Xin convulsed in pain as the snake scales instantly pierced his body. He took a half step back, stumbled, and fell down the stairs along with Chen Huijie and Talulah.

Before he fell, he looked around. He was probably on the seventh floor. If he had his previous body, he would have died. Now, he would be crippled.

Chen Huijie gasped, grabbed An Xin's arm, and squeezed her eyes shut.

Talulah's face turned pale, her heart trembled, and she forced herself not to make a sound. She just didn't want to go back to Wei Yanwu's side, but she didn't intend to drag her sister down with her, much less to kill An Xin.

He grabbed the two sisters, then pushed off forcefully, separating his feet from the side edge of the stairs, and performed a clean backflip, preparing to land on the next step.

However, the unexpected still happened.

During this process, Talulah lost her grip on Anxin and fell out.

All three of them changed their expressions. An Xin wasn't a superhero; she couldn't possibly reach someone in mid-air without a relay point to save them.

Talulah reached out her hand towards Anxin, and the moment he landed, he lunged at Talulah.

In the last second before she fell, Anxin finally caught up and grabbed Talulah's hand, but a source stone spike pierced his right arm.

"Hiss... Ha..."

Intense pain shot through his body instantly. An Xin gasped for breath, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.

Just then, he saw a somewhat familiar figure; he had seen that rat head at Wei Yanwu's place before.

Has someone finally arrived?

Before she fainted, An Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Talulah up.

He closed his eyes and lay down on the stairs.

That's already the best I can do.

Now that Wei Yanwu's men have arrived, the promises made to Wei Yanwu and Chen Huijie should be considered fulfilled.

Explain things clearly to Talulah.

I hope you sisters won't separate.

Blood flowed from his right arm, causing him to gradually lose consciousness and become unable to see clearly.

Don't cry, Chen Huijie.

I'm not going to die.

I guess so?

Chen Huijie threw herself into An Xin's arms, crying and shouting.

"Don't die, An Xin."

After spending the last two days together, Chen Huijie had already decided that An Xin was a good person.

Talulah bit her lip, as if she was about to cry. She knew that Anxin had ended up in this situation because she was trying to save her.

But she couldn't do anything.

Are we still leaving?

Even if you leave, should you take Huijie with you?

With the arrival of the Rat King, Wei Yanwu followed closely behind, and the two sisters eventually had to part ways.

All of this has nothing to do with An Xin anymore.

After being treated, he slept for a day and a night, and it was already his third day in the game.

Staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, An Xin almost thought he had traveled through time again, until the pain in his right arm made him realize it was real. He stared at the bandage on his upper right arm; someone had bandaged it for him, and it seemed that someone had even used healing Originium Arts to treat him.

He sat up and found that all his clothes had been taken off, and clean clothes were placed next to the bed.

After getting dressed, the first thing An Xin did was open the game system, which surprised her.

Name: An Xin

[Race: Qilin]

[Status: Oripathy]

Life: 5 (+)

[Charm: 7 (+)]

[Abilities: lv3 (+) Apprenticeship to a Grandmaster, lv4 (+) Originium Arts Lightning Magic, lv5 (+) Professional Training, lv2 Mystic Eyes of Reconnaissance]

[Points: 1000]

My life has dropped from 15 to 5; I don't know if it's temporary or permanent.

The fact that Lei Fa suddenly leveled up is probably related to the extra Originium Disease displayed on the panel.

An Xin had heard of this infectious disease before, but he never expected to get infected on his first game.
