My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Lin Ruo?" Leng Yihan asked instinctively when she saw the black-haired woman. Lin Ruo immediately nodded. "Please! Don't kill my sister! Whatever you want to ask or do, I can answer and agree to it!" Lin Ruo said hurriedly when she saw Leng Yihan return.

Unconsciously, I've become a leader in some sense... I'm just an ordinary person, I can't play any role at all.

Looking at the four little ones waiting for her to speak, Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, I'm not good at interrogating people, so I'll leave it to you."

"Forget it." Zhiyi unexpectedly rejected Leng Yihan. "I can't say what I would do to her in a one-on-one interrogation. I might even kill her. After all, she's in a situation where she knows there's a tiger in the mountain, but she still chooses to go down the tiger's den. She can't escape now."

“…Alright then.” Leng Yihan sighed. “I don’t want to ruin the atmosphere of lunch. You can just watch us eat. I’m starving. As for your sister… don’t worry, she’s not dead yet. Now that you’re here, I won’t let her die in three days.”

As Leng Yihan spoke, she found a stool and sat down. Zhi Yi did the same, but without exception, both of them kept a certain distance from Lin Ruo and did not let their guard down.

A delicious-smelling lunch was laid out on the table. Linruo couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but she was like a fish in a net, and it would be good enough if she wasn't eaten, let alone something that could eat people.

"Are you hungry?" Leng Yihan glanced at Lin Ruo and asked. "If you're hungry, I'll get you a bowl. I don't have the heart to torture prisoners." With that, Leng Yihan got up and walked towards the kitchen. Although the other four were puzzled, they quickly understood. They guessed that Leng Yihan wanted to raise her favorability rating so that it would be easier to ask her questions later.

"Still too gentle," Zhiyi thought to himself. Not long after, Leng Yihan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice and utensils and placed it in front of Linruo.

Linruo couldn't resist any longer. She opened her index finger wide, as if she hadn't eaten in a long time, and devoured the food in front of her. Originally, the others thought that too much food had been cooked today, but with Linruo's help, there was not a single leftover. They ate it all up.

Leng Yihan, Lin Ruo, and Zhi Yi once again headed towards the Adventurers' Guild, their target being the prison cells in the interrogation room.

However, calling this interrogation room an interrogation room is not quite accurate, because it has too many functions, combining prison, interrogation, torture, punishment, discipline and other unspeakable things. Because of his identity, Zhiyi has this interrogation room and prison that is exclusively his own.

When Leng Yihan first came here, she sighed. Sure enough, don't be fooled by their upright appearance; they've done a lot of shady things behind the scenes.

Led by Zhiyi, the three of them easily found their way to an interrogation room. After entering, there was another door, and further in was the prison. The prison was divided into four rooms, and Linyao was in one of them.

"I hope you can calm down," Zhiyi kindly reminded her as he pushed open the cell door. Hearing his words, Linruo's heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked into the passageway inside the cell.

The prison had four rooms arranged in a row, all constructed from extremely precious materials. To the left of the entrance was the interrogation room, while to the right was a large area containing numerous instruments of torture—the place for interrogation and torture. (I should add here that this was a private interrogation room, located underground, specifically used for shady activities, while the interrogation room where Leng Yihan was previously captured was the one visible to the public.)

There was only one person in Zhiyi's cell, Lin Yao, who was resting on the bed against the wall. When Lin Yao saw Lin Yao now, her eyes reddened instantly. Her left hand and right leg were missing, and her body was covered in wounds, with no exposed skin intact.

"Sister..." Lin Ruo called softly. Lin Yao paused, looked outside hesitantly, and saw her younger sister standing outside.

“A-Ruo…didn’t I tell you not to come? Why did you come…” Lin Yao’s voice was very weak, like a dying person. “Sister…I can’t watch you die, I absolutely can’t…” Tears streamed down Lin Ruo’s cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

"Alright, now that you're sure your sister is alive, it's time to get down to business." Leng Yihan crossed her arms and looked at Lin Ruo. "Let me tell you, if we can't get the information I want... your sister's current condition probably means she won't live past the next day."

"...If I answer, will you let my sister go?"

"Oh...I see. So you're still worried about her life." Leng Yihan put her hands in her pockets. "Well then, if your answer satisfies me, I'll guarantee she won't die tomorrow or the day after."

"A-Ruo, no... You can't betray the organization... Otherwise... you'll die..." Lin Yao's voice was barely audible, and besides, Lin Ruo was so eager to save her sister that she didn't want to care about those things anymore.

"Hmm? An organization... Let's start with your organization then." Leng Yihan looked at Lin Ruo with great interest.

“The organization…” Linruo lowered her head, making a final struggle, but she still couldn’t let go of her sister. “My organization is called Demon Fiend, and we worship the god Demon Fiend…”

"Hmm, and then? What does your organization do, and why are you trying to kill our people?" Leng Yihan pressed.

"...Our organization...I don't know...I only know that what I do is kill people. Someone hired us to kill you, and the pay was generous, so I did it..."

"Where is your organization's headquarters? Or a branch of the assassins? Where do you take on missions?" Leng Yihan's question clearly indicated that Lin Ruo had betrayed them. The first few questions were fine, but this one was an attempt to launch a surprise attack on their headquarters.

“I know the way in the Demon Desert, but… but I don’t know how to say it…” Lin Ruo lowered her head, afraid that Leng Yihan would be dissatisfied, after all, she was unarmed, while the two men in front of her were carrying knives.

"In the desert... how do ordinary people usually assign you tasks?"

"I'm...I'm sorry...I really don't know..."

The trail has gone cold...

"What, you want to go there? It's very dangerous." Zhiyi advised Leng Yihan when he saw her thoughtful expression. Indeed, it would be foolish to rush into the enemy's base without knowing their strength. But for some reason, Leng Yihan had a feeling that she had to go, otherwise she would miss something.

"...I'm going there. By the way, I'd like to ask, since you betrayed this information, your organization can't keep you anymore, right?" Although she was asking Lin Ruo, Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yao instead.

Neither of them replied, but the expressions on their faces clearly indicated: That's right.

"Then I'll trouble you to take me there..."

"Is that so...? You want to go straight to their headquarters for a visit?" Lan Mu frowned. "But that would be too dangerous..." Si Xiao Shui said worriedly.

"I have to go. I don't know why, but I have this feeling that if I don't go, I will definitely miss something," Leng Yihan said, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

Why is that...?

What... is this place...?

Leng Yihan gripped the clothes in front of his chest tightly, his intense desire urging him to hurry up.

Do I really have to go...? Then let's go.

“…Follow me.” Yilin suddenly said, “I’ll follow you.” Yilin’s tone was very firm, clearly indicating that she had made up her mind to go.

“Since the captain said so, I’ll go too. Even though I might die on this trip… I’ll make those people pay. Ideally, we should break in and find out who hired us to kill us, take care of them, and then kill the rest. Killing one is worth it, killing two is a huge profit,” Lan Mu said.

"Then! You can't leave me behind either..." The timid Si Xiaoshui also said. And so, the adventure team of only four people decided to head to the headquarters of the Demon Fiend. Seeing that the four were determined to go, Zhiyi could only sigh.

Lin Ruo and Lin Yao couldn't just let their guard down like that, so Leng Yihan conveniently helped send Lin Ruo to the cell next to Lin Yao's, and then heavily guarded that place to prevent anyone from killing them and cutting off Leng Yihan's trail.

The group certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to rush in, so they reverted to their adventurer team identities, donned invisibility cloaks, and carefully collected sand cores in the Demon Desert to give to Irene to craft equipment. After all, no one wanted to die, and it would be best if they could come out alive.

After another ten days or so of preparation, the four practiced combat in the desert while continuously collecting sand cores. Although the team's level was still F, their strength... well, that was another story.

Three days before their expected departure, the adventure team stopped their adventures and began a period of rest. Lin Ruo and Lin Yao were also released and are currently staying at Zhi Yi's place, which is where Leng Yihan's adventure team is located. The main reason is that someone actually broke into the Adventurers' Guild and tried to kill the two of them. If Leng Yihan's entire adventure team hadn't been there at that time, they might have succeeded. This incident also gave them some practice in combat.

Leng Yihan was carrying a familiar katana, but not a greatsword. He wasn't using the same physique as in the game anymore, and carrying both a greatsword and a katana at the same time would greatly affect his agility, so Leng Yihan only carried a katana.

Lan Mu wielded a large, heavy sword that Leng Yihan couldn't lift. Lan Mu was able to lift and wield it only through his own abilities. Si Xiao Shui's weapon was a short bow, which was specifically made to match her speed.

You really are the captain, Yilin's talent is simply outrageous. First, she used five sand cores to create a storage ring, and then she stuffed it with a lot of weapons. She can use every single one of them, and she changes the type of weapon she uses depending on the situation of the battle...

Rinyao and Rinruo were carrying two daggers, mainly to complement their abilities to infiltrate the shadows. Rinyao's injuries had also been healed by Irene, who used ten Sand Cores to create a pill for Rinyao to take. The name of this pill was... SCP-500.

Memories that had almost faded from Leng Yihan's memory resurfaced, and this SCP-500 suddenly brought her back to her senses, making her realize that the end of this nightmare might lie within the Demon Fiend organization...

As night approached, one member of the adventure team left the town of Desa. Zhiyi did not come with him; his family would not allow him to do so, so there were only six of them.

The six-person armor was not only lightweight and easy to move in, but its defensive capabilities were also comparable to many heavy armors, giving Leng Yihan a completely new understanding of Captain Yilin's abilities. It was simply incredibly powerful.

Under the bright moonlight, the six people, cloaked in invisibility, moved through the desert using communicators, confirming the location of their teammates, and running across the desert with Rinruo and Rinyao leading the way.

The five of them communicated entirely through a QQ group-like system on the communicator (Leng Yihan's idea, which Yilin implemented), which also helped them avoid revealing their location by speaking out.

The group consisted of six people, five of whom were centered around Leng Yihan. To the naked eye, they were protected by the invisibility cloaks made by Yilin, and to the energy, they were protected by Leng Yihan's energy shield. Along the way, they picked up any sand cores they could find. Currently, they possessed more than thirty sand cores that they did not use, not counting those that had been used. It can be guessed that they had collected a great many sand cores in the past ten to twenty days.

Rinruo: Everyone, we're almost there.

Rin-Ya: Mm.

Leng Yihan: Do you feel anything is wrong?

Rin: Not yet... We'll see patrols soon, so we need to be more careful.

Four Little Waters: Understood!

Yilin: Okay.

Lan Mu: I'd like to see which guys are trying to kill me.

Soon, everyone could see the light source in the distance, as well as a small city, but the chaos in the city... was unknown to them, because the outside was already in complete chaos, and more and more people were constantly arriving here.

Eileen: A Land of Freedom?

Rin: Hmm? You know this place?

Eileen: So the Demon Fiend has always been here... No wonder the various guilds and organizations have never been able to eradicate this cult that worships the Demon Fiend.

Leng Yihan: Uh... Captain, please explain!

Four Little Waters: Captain is really something! I've never even heard of the Land of Freedom! How does Captain know about it? It must be some amazing place!

Eileen: Actually, I think it's better if you don't know... but in that case, I'll explain it to you.

Eileen's words become much more vivid when written down, but in reality... she is still the kind of person who finds it difficult to say much and is very sparing with words.

Leng Yihan: Teacher Xiao Yilin is starting her class. You'll understand everything about where the Land of Freedom is just by listening to her explanation!

Lan Mu: ? ? ?

Four Little Waters: ? ? ?

Rin Haruka: ? ? ?

Lin Ruo:......

Yilin: No one knows who created the Free Land, and it is not in the five to zero level ranking, because it is a gathering place for outlaws. There is neutrality, goodness, and evil here. Everything you do not agree with or that goes against your values ​​may be feasible here, because there are no rules here. It all depends on people's self-discipline and their own strength.

Irene: The Free Lands are also incredibly powerful. There was a city that once tried to destroy it, but in the end... I don't know the details, but that city eventually retreated. And most importantly, not long after, that city became the first level-two city I ever lost to the Sand Demons. Some people speculated that it was related to the Demon Fiends. Usually, people from at least level-one cities would come into contact with the Demon Fiends, so it's normal that you don't know.

Leng Yihan: The captain is indeed extraordinary...

Eileen: ...

Seeing that Yilin didn't reply, Leng Yihan suppressed a laugh. Had she inadvertently revealed something incredible, Captain?

Eileen: I hope you forget about it.

Everyone: Dream on!

This could be considered a small decompression snack for the group. At least the heavy pressure on the six of them was relieved a lot, and they no longer had that spirit of going to their deaths. Anyway, all they needed to do was to go straight to the heart of the enemy, cause a ruckus, and then make a run for it. However, they obviously couldn't go back to Disa afterward. Although they didn't know if the destruction of the only destroyed second-level city was related to the Demon Fiend, they didn't want to cause trouble for the Earth Fiend.

Leng Yihan and the others also quickened their pace, rushing towards the Land of Freedom, where robbery, rape, young girls standing on the street seducing people, NTR, and gang rape were everywhere.

This is the most chaotic place in the entire world of human civilization, the Land of Freedom, and now, six people have arrived...

117 Nightmares (9)

Yilin: This is my first time seeing this too, but I have to say, it's really chaotic...

Seeing what Yilin said, Leng Yihan agreed wholeheartedly. The six of them carefully maintained their formation in the crowd, not wanting to reveal their true identities in the first place, and after seeing the situation in Freedom Land, they were even less inclined to do so.

In the streets of this city of Freedom, robbery, rape, and even sedition are commonplace. The streets are chaotic, yet somehow a strange order is maintained.

What's even more infuriating is that a pretty woman might walk by on the street and be dragged into a nearby alley by a group of burly men. After she resists, sounds of pleasure quickly follow. Leng Yihan wanted to intervene several times, but thinking of the four girls in her group, she ultimately held back.

Lan Mu: I want to make a move...

Leng Yihan: You can make a move, but don't forget that we have four beautiful women in our team. I don't want them to end up like those people on the street, and I certainly don't want them to be discovered and wiped out before we even reach the Demon Fiend headquarters.

Si Xiaoshui: Suddenly he's become so manly... The originally cute Yihan has suddenly become a more sophisticated and high-class figure in my mind!
