People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

Warwick is also someone who needs to bring back the "chosen one" of the future, so naturally he can't be allowed to get caught. Camille is in the same boat; she has to let Warwick go without being discovered by him.

It's a spy within a spy story.

"Hmm... When in doubt, just sleep it off; when faced with difficulties, just give up."

Mu Bai lay on his back on the bed, intending to rest first before studying the map and familiarizing himself with the environment.

But before he could lie down for even a few minutes, a series of wails suddenly came from outside. They weren't very clear, but you could hear them if you listened carefully.

"Warwick?"

Mu Bai immediately thought of that bloodthirsty beast, jumped out of bed, ran to the window, and looked toward the source of the sound.

The darkness and haze severely reduced visibility, making it impossible to see anything in the distance. Only a few blurry figures could be vaguely seen intertwined together, accompanied by flickering lights.

Guns...and...rocket launchers?

This combination...

Damn it, it's that crazy little girl again!

Chapter 40 The Simp's End

"Let's not bother running, the result will be the same anyway."

In a deep alley, a group of gang members with tattoos on their faces cornered a girl against a wall, their eyes gleaming with menace.

For desperados like them, silver wheels are far more important than human lives—as long as the money is right, they'll kill even their own brothers and sisters.

What's more, a complete stranger?

"You've injured quite a few of my brothers, little girl?" The leader weighed the knife in his hand, his eyes filled with greed and cruelty. "Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Jinx glanced at the high wall behind her, then turned to look directly at the other person, a bead of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

To be honest, she regretted that the bang-bang gun was loaded with blanks and the fishbone gun with fireworks—she always did.

Although her infamy spread throughout Piltover, and she even did something crazy like "smearing" the city overnight, she actually didn't kill a single person.

"Come on then, stop whining." The girl pulled a dagger from the bullet belt on her calf. "You'll regret this later, you fools."

"Tch, a death throes."

The gang leader waved his hand, and more than ten gang members immediately swarmed forward. The crowded alley echoed with the sounds of metal clashing, flesh tearing, and bones breaking.

Anyone could see that the girl with the blue pigtails was already at her limit.

Despite this, the leader was still secretly amazed that this crazy woman still had the strength to fight back after fighting all night.

If she had used real bullets instead of blanks... those dozens of wounded would all be corpses, and our small force probably wouldn't even be enough to satisfy her...

Fortunately.

Jinx used every trick in the book, dodging left and right through the crowd, each swing of her sword and kick severely damaging her enemies.

However, the petty boss, lacking any sense of martial ethics, quietly raised his revolver amidst the chaos.

The space here was very cramped, and firing rashly might accidentally injure friendly forces, but he didn't care at all.

As long as we can kill that crazy woman, we'll be rolling in tons of silver. Who cares about the deaths of one or two low-level thugs?

Raise the gun, aim, and then... fire.

A flash of fire illuminated the terrified and astonished faces of the crowd.

The bullet spiraled out of the barrel, aimed directly at the exhausted girl.

Jinx knew she couldn't dodge the bullets, and too lazy to drag her tired body through the futility, she simply grinned and gave a contemptuous smile, as if mocking her opponent or herself.

The smell of gunpowder permeated the alley, but the gang members smelled the scent of silver wheels.

The junior leader stared intently at the smoke rising from the gun barrel, his mind already conjuring up images of enjoying endless riches and glory.

Unfortunately, the bullet suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Yes, stop. As if frozen in place, it stopped in a bizarre way and hovered in mid-air.

The next moment, the sword flashed.

Before the squad leader could react, his revolver was chopped into several pieces, and the bullets exploded in the magazine, leaving his entire hand a bloody mess.

"Your gun isn't any good either, it's not durable enough for cutting."

A swordsman wearing a top hat, a black coat, and carrying a long sword had somehow slipped into the alley, and a bullet lodged less than fifty centimeters in front of him.

"Little White!" Jinx recognized the person and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels as she called out, her face full of surprise.

Mu Bai turned his head and smiled at the girl.

Then, his figure turned into a blur.

This kind of small, crowded space is perfect for having fun.

For an average Yasuo player, sliding through a wave of minions is already incredibly fun; here, with more than ten people, it's equivalent to two waves of minions, which is double the fun.

Sai Gao Ni Hai Tie Ya Zi Da ( )

The ornate blade reflected the faint moonlight, its cold glint flashing repeatedly in the alleyway, accompanied by screams that rose and fell.

After several gang members fell to the ground, the leader finally remembered the identity of the uninvited guest—the legendary Piltover swordsman who hated evil!

At the same time, he realized that the rumors were not just rumors; the swordsman really did have such terrifying strength!

"Run! Run the hell out!"

At the command, the thugs, who were already terrified, immediately scrambled to squeeze out of the alley, fearing they would become the next target.

Seeing those panicked figures, Mu Bai didn't bother to chase after them anymore.

The sound of the sword hilt striking the scabbard rang out simultaneously with Jinx's joyful yet weak voice:

"You're quite capable, Xiaobai! But... I could have handled it even if you hadn't come, understand? So don't expect me to give you anything in return."

Hearing this, Mu Bai shrugged helplessly, "Fine, fine, I never expected anything from you."

This girl really doesn't know how to be grateful...

"That's good." Jinx nodded in satisfaction, then staggered out, "Goodbye, Little White~"

"Wait a minute," Mu Bai quickly called out to the girl, who looked like she could barely stand. "Well... to repay you for giving me the credit before, let me invite you to my place for a cup of tea."

"No, no, I won't drink that kind of stuff."

"How about some fish-shaped biscuits?"

"No, I'm tired of it."

"...Your injuries are quite severe, you need to rest." Mu Bai sighed softly, revealing his true purpose directly.

This crazy little girl is covered in bruises and bloodstains; she must have been in countless fights... It would be troublesome if she got caught again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, have you forgotten something, Little White?"

Jinx turned her head, a smile appearing on her slightly disheveled face, her two little fangs turning her carefully crafted madness into something adorable.

"I'm a madman, a super madman! This little injury is no match for a madman!"

"..." Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Since they've already said that, there's no point in persisting; it would just make you look like a bootlicker.

A man should be elegant, dashing, and dignified. Being a simp is best avoided; after all, simps often end up with nothing.

"Alright, then maybe we'll meet again sometime—"

But before he could finish saying goodbye, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Task: Help Jinx]

[Description: Who says madmen don't need a haven? Hurry, get in! Quick! Great opportunity!]

Objective: Take [Jinx] away and heal her wounds.

[Reward: Skill [Hextech Flash Trap] *1]

"Huh? What did you just say?" the girl asked, looking puzzled.

“I said…” Mu Bai swallowed, then cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Please be sure to come back with me to rest and heal your wounds. This is my way of repaying you, and it is also my wish!"

Men, when it's time to lick, they should lick; there's no need to hesitate. After all, in the end, you'll have everything you could want.

As for whether it's elegant or not, that's really not important.

Chapter Forty-One: A Mortal Body, Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Gods

In the end, Jinx followed Mu Bai back to the small bungalow that the Feros family had given her.

She initially refused, but Mu Baishi was too enthusiastic, and she really needed a safe place to rest, so she reluctantly agreed.

But as she sat on the soft sofa, that intense feeling of regret welled up inside her again—as a criminal wanted throughout the city, she was not used to an overly comfortable environment.

"Let me make this clear first, you begged me to come, I don't owe you anything..." Jinx emphasized for the eighth time.

"Nobody said you owe me anything, so we're even."

Mu Bai, holding the medicine box he had rummaged through the room, half-squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstains on the girl's right thigh.

The wound isn't deep, but it's a bit long. If left untreated, it will likely become inflamed or even ulcerated, so disinfection is essential.

It's a pity that Caitlyn chopped up the health potion earlier, otherwise we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble.

"..." The usually crazy and unruly loli was unusually quiet, pursing her lower lip and staring intently at the other person.

"Just disinfect it and bandage it up a bit," Mu Bai said as he rummaged through his first-aid kit. "The same goes for the other wounds on your body."

"Other parts...on the arms, the lower abdomen, the shoulders, all of them?"

"All."

"And what about behind it?"

"Same."
