NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

In the women's hands, male corpses with only their upper bodies were dragged on the ground, with bloody intestines of varying lengths following behind, easily igniting the visual senses of the crowd.

We wait for each other...

Faced with such a hellish scene, and recalling what the man had just said, in the blink of an eye, several hairy thugs knelt down on the ground from the bottom of their hearts.

His kneeling motion was so practiced that it was even smoother than raising his hands in surrender.

Chapter 193 Recently, I've been playing the role of a lemon.

The bodies of the gang leaders were dragged in pieces by the female owners of the Black Pearl Restaurant to the opposite corner of the entrance and piled up on the edge of what should have been a garbage disposal area.

After receiving a phone bill from Mo Lian, the "sanitation workers" responsible for handling the bodies, whose various amounts involved were comparable to a gang fight, immediately decided to bring several truckloads of people and personally come from afar.

More than forty corpses...

No, it was less a corpse and more a small mound of earth.

It quietly occupies the area that should be used for garbage disposal, like a rotten dark tomato, constantly oozing horrifying juice.

Nausea,

Quite disgusting.

It's the kind of disgusting thing that would leave a child with psychological trauma just by looking at it.

Standing at the restaurant entrance, gazing at the bloody mound of corpses, Phoenix's left hand inadvertently gripped his girlfriend's soft, white fingers tightly.

A rare moment of nervousness, mixed with trepidation, rose in the man's heart.

The last time I experienced this agonizing feeling was on the eve of my first mission to the ground.

It was a sense of rootless panic, like a lone boat adrift on the sea, battered relentlessly by stormy waves under the moonlit night.

"Are you afraid?"

The man took a deep breath and asked this question.

If an outsider were to overhear this, they might think Phoenix was asking the girl if she was afraid of the terrifying mound of corpses diagonally opposite.

However, feeling the caress and unease between her fingers, only Anise clearly understood what her commander was asking her.

"She's a girl too! Any ordinary girl would be terrified to see a pile of internal organs and dozens of faces all together!"

"..."

The atmosphere remained silent, but not awkwardly.

The chestnut-haired girl's witty remark went unanswered, and her irrelevant answer only made her rough hands clench even tighter.

The lieutenant's expression was very serious.

Or perhaps it's rare for a lieutenant, who has always disliked formal occasions, to be so serious.

"Pfft~"

Perhaps it was the first time she had seen the Commander so nervous, and after staring at him for a few seconds, Anise, realizing that her joke was somewhat inappropriate, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay~ I'm not scared~"

Having said that, the girl tiptoed and pressed her blushing cheeks and lips to the lieutenant's ear, whispering her response:

"I'm more afraid of not being able to find the Commander than killing people, okay? You can't even figure that out? Commander, you're so stupid!"

Na~

If you ever dare to leave me alone outside again, I might actually run away!

"……Um."

Finally receiving a reassuring response, Phoenix was able to barely calm his anxieties.

The people were killed because they truly deserved to die.

Cutting someone in half at the waist, on the other hand, was done to establish the leader's authority and instill fear.

But it wasn't until Mo Lian and the others piled up the mound of corpses with their eyes closed that the lieutenant realized the seriousness of the problem.

By doing this, I know I might also affect Anise's state of mind.

After all, no normal woman would want her partner to be a sadistic psychopath who enjoys killing others...

"leader."

Just as the lieutenant was receiving comforting words and sweet talk from his girlfriend, Erica emerged from the alley next to the Black Pearl Restaurant, still with her aloof demeanor, and meticulously reported:

"It has been investigated and confirmed that those guys are just ordinary thugs who usually pretend to be members of powerful underworld organizations to scam outsiders out of bodyguard fees."

This time was no different. They used the false identities of our Phoenix members to gain the eunuch's trust and then extracted a hefty protection commission of three thousand a day from him.

Using the false identity of a member of the Phoenix...

The thought of several imposters using his name to swindle and cheat people, and even worse, daring to embarrass him, instantly shattered the beautiful mood that his girlfriend had just managed to soothe.

"Is there nothing else besides fraud?"

"That's it. According to acquaintances, those guys didn't join any gangs to seek protection. They mostly just drink and fight. They wouldn't even dare to kill anyone, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble they shouldn't."

"Hmm... then let them clean the streets of our management area for the next six months, with room and board provided, but no salary. Anise will decide their daily workload and supervision."

“I understand, Chief.”

Erica agreed, her almond-shaped eyes glancing almost imperceptibly at the faces of the leader and Anise, before she discreetly withdrew from the Black Pearl's gate...

……

The Black Maru Society has been destroyed, the owner and butler of the Kanin Restaurant have been confirmed dead, and the three guild leaders and vice-leaders of the Shoemakers' Guild have been confirmed dead...

The sanitation workers, an organization that mostly helps dispose of corpses for free in the outer areas, are characterized by selling information about deaths as their main source of income.

The sanitation worker probably doesn't know who is still alive.

However, sanitation workers can identify at least 80% of those who have been confirmed dead.

Eleven gang leaders were brutally dismembered and killed.

The newly formed gang, Phoenix, successfully swallowed up 2377 unit areas in just half a month;

The Phoenix has conservatively killed more than 80 people this month.

The earth-shattering news was quickly relayed by the sanitation workers to the liaisons of the three leading gangs: Qingming Society, Peony Society, and Hedonia. They also sent a memo email to their respective leaders.

There's no way around it; these three companies are long-term, year-round clients of the sanitation department. Their service enthusiasm and standards are bound to be slightly higher than those of other gangs.

of course,

There are also a few wealthy individual clients who require special priority treatment.

……

……

"Ha, seizing two thousand unit areas in half a month, is the brain of this organization leader all muscle?"

Inside a secluded, dilapidated house, a man with a pipe dangling from his mouth scrolled through his phone, glanced at his fellow soldiers sitting on either side of him on single sofas, and chuckled:

"This blatant expansion speed is too unruly and is definitely not the style of the outer perimeter. It is most likely related to the Ark."

"Viper, go and investigate the origins of that Phoenix."

"Hello, Captain, are you kidding me? You want me, Niki, to investigate the Ark Organization?"

While scrolling through his phone with a lollipop in his mouth, the viper mumbled a reply, then habitually glanced at someone's grayed-out profile picture on Balabala, and said unhappily:

"Why don't you just send Jackal to Ark and ask Polly from ACPU? Maybe you can get some results."

"Hey~ do you want me to go?!"

On the other side, opposite the venomous snake, the silly little jackal, completely oblivious to the jokes and sarcasm, grinned excitedly and jumped up from the sofa.

"Does the serpent mean I can finally go to the Ark and set off firecrackers?!"

"What are you doing? Kids shouldn't interrupt adults. Sit down!"

Seeing the jackal's pathetic and foolish appearance, the venomous snake, frustrated by its failed attempt to mock, rolled its eyes with a charmingly smug look.

Then, the cunning and shrewd pink girl suddenly realized something was wrong. Her brows furrowed slightly at first, then relaxed, and she glanced sideways at her captain, Krau.

"Hmm~ Captain, could you explain what the jackal just said?"

What does "finally" mean?

"Hmm? Who knows what she's talking about."

Krau shrugged indifferently, took a drag of his electronic cigarette that wouldn't even light up, and glanced at the silly girl whose expression was a little unnatural.

"Didn't you hear the snake ask you? What does this 'finally' mean?"

"Ah...I...I..."

After glancing at the captain's eyes and then at Viper's, the jackal, though not very bright, instinctively sensed something was amiss in the room, despite his keen sense of danger.

It's the kind of "wrong" that means telling the truth is wrong, and lying is also wrong.

"Okay, stop with the 'you, you, you' and go buy me a bag of candy, lemon flavored, the sourest kind."

"Okay! I'm going right now!!!"
