Sir! Don't close the net!

"When the truth comes out, it's naturally up to me, the executive officer who took the subsidies but didn't complete a single task, to take responsibility, right, Valkyrie?"

"Hahaha—Li, Li Yili, don't worry, Galar Horn isn't some dark organization. At most, they'll just lay you off, but don't worry! I'm here! In a few days, when nobody remembers you, I'll bring you back!"

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Valkyrie immediately changed her strategy, turned around and hooked her arm around Li Yili's shoulder, raising her other hand and pointing into the distance.

"This is the perfect tactic! I can't possibly handle all that backlog of work at once; it will all be assigned to those who still have the capacity! As long as you and I work together—cough cough cough… don't worry, I won't abandon you."

Because Li Yili remained silent, Valhou Lei's momentum softened, and she awkwardly gestured with her fingers.

"Ha... never mind, it's just a little bit of money anyway," Li Yili waved her hand, then sat back down, stretched her arms out on the back of the sofa, and looked up at the sky.

Valkyrie raised an eyebrow slightly.

“I feel like… you’re being really chill today,” Valkyrie blinked. “Normally you should be pinning me down and shouting that this is the hammer of justice, just like that time I burned your custom-made building blocks as firewood.”

"Are you really going to play like this?" Valkyrie's lips twitched.

“Oh… I didn’t expect this man to like wooden models so much. That day I was constantly switching between unconscious and conscious states,” Valkyrie spread her hands to her sides and looked at Li Yili. “So, what did you see on the sea?”

"For something to make you so...no, so weary, it must be something that could potentially overturn the world."

Li Yili looked up but did not answer.

The more Li Yili acted this way, the more certain Valkyrie became of her suspicions.

“Honestly, you’re such a stubborn man,” Valkyrie said with a helpless smile as she sat down next to Li Yili.

"I understand. This dangerous job of making a living from both ends is over. I'll just resell what I have and find a place to retire. If all else fails, traveling around is also a good option."

Valkyrie Yume stared at Valkyrie Lei with disbelief, as if she were seeing her younger sister for the first time.

Chapter 154 Taking Out the Trash

"The sea?"

Zig blinked.

“Yeah, that’s not the place you’ve always wanted to go,” Bert said, wiping the cake off Zigg’s mouth with a tissue and shrugging. “What’s that place like?”

"Very large—very vast—"

Zig immediately stood up and waved his hands up and down, but he felt that the gestures were not direct enough. After thinking for a moment, Zig stood on his chair and waved his hands up and down vigorously.

"Very, very vast—you can't see the end of it at a glance!"

"It seems like it's endless, that's really impressive," Bert exclaimed.

Living in Instas, what he saw most often every day was the endless sea wall of the Dead Sea, which stretched to the sky and was as deep as an abyss.

It stretches as far as the eye can see; it is such a vast place.

“That’s amazing! And… there are islands in the sea! Very, very big islands! They feel even bigger than Instas! Although Minister Li Yili didn’t explain the situation to me, if the holy land that Director Ips mentioned exists, then that must be the holy land,” Zig carefully sat back down, holding onto the table, and scratched his face with an embarrassed smile.

“Holy Land…you, did you not see the gods?” Bert’s fingers, which were poking at the table, tightened slightly.

“Well… Minister Li Yili asked me to keep an eye on the submarine,” Zig said, arms crossed, looking troubled. “But it’s making quite a commotion, bang bang—and quite a few trees have been blown away. If I got close, half of me would have been swept away.”

"However, it seems that Minister Li Yili did not see that deity."

Bert raised an eyebrow slightly. "Didn't see him?"

Rather, it does not exist.

"So that god is somewhere on the sea?"

“Who knows… but according to Minister Li Yili, it should be like this,” Zig stroked his chin, frowned, and pondered for a while before spreading his hands, “Minister Li Yili also asked if I wanted to stay on the sea or something, which should be implying that as long as I stay on the sea, I can find that god…”

"Then...why did you come back?" Bert's eyelids drooped slightly.

“Of course it’s because my home is here, and I have to go home,” Zieg blinked and answered matter-of-factly. “The sea isn’t my home.”

Bert opened his mouth, then smiled helplessly, resting his chin on his hand as he looked out the sunlit window. "That's true. Actually, I bought a new house."

"Huh? Huh!!!" Sieg's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The real estate industry in India is so advanced that if you want to rent a house, you can just walk into any door. If you want to buy, there is a door, but not everyone has the opportunity to cross that threshold. Even if you can cross it, you can only get in by holding on to the door frame with one hand, otherwise the door will close. It may take several years, more than ten years, or even decades to get in completely.

Their small, dilapidated house was left by their parents, but because it's located in a remote area, they can't sell it.

“I’ve worked at a real estate agency for a while,” Bert waved his hand. “I know which houses are still for sale and which are within our budget. While I can’t sell houses as easily as McCarthy, I can find a suitable one for myself.”

Bert paused for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped Zig on the head.

“You’re an adult now, you should have your own room. Of course, the new house can only guarantee that much. Of course, this old house will not be sold.”

“Oh, oh—it’s alright, Bert. I’ll rebuild our home someday, no, I’ll rebuild the whole Mawse district!” Zig waved his arms vigorously.

Bert was somewhat taken aback. He neither shook his head nor nodded, but simply smiled helplessly.

This is much more difficult than going to the surface of the Dead Man's Sea.

But if Sieg can even go to the surface of the Sea of ​​the Dead, then there's probably nothing that can stump him.

“Alright, you should get some rest today. Today isn’t the end, it’s a new beginning,” Bert said, giving Zig’s head a good rub.

The new home was indeed an unimaginable pressure for someone his age, but he felt much more relaxed. The walls of the Sea of ​​the Dead still stood before him, allowing him to see only the end, but he already knew how vast the world was and that Sieg was standing in such a world.

That's enough.

Bert picked up the trash can, pushed open the door, and walked through the damp, garbage-strewn alley to the front of the Maws District landfill. Before dumping the trash, Bert pulled out the medicine from the trash can and lightly ran his thumb over the name Levi's Estelle Richard.

“Mr. Li Yili, you are truly an amazing person. Someone like me could probably work my whole life and still not even get close to you.”

Bert bent down and placed the potion in a relatively clean spot, then took out a mask from his pocket and placed it next to the potion without hesitation.

"Also, thank you."

After saying that, Bert dumped the rest of the garbage downstairs.

"Seriously, what am I thinking? How could someone as powerful as Li Yili possibly have his mask and potion? This is really a headache. Is it because I drank too much of the potion?"

Bert, carrying the empty trash can, shook his head and turned to leave the Mawsty District landfill.

Not long after Bert left, a figure crept stealthily along the dark, damp path into the Morse code's junkyard.

Although it's called a garbage dump, the residents here often just dump their garbage around the area and call it a day. So he wandered over and got covered in dirty swill, but he didn't care. Instead, he wandered around the garbage dump like a ghost.

If Bert were still there, he would probably have cried out in disbelief, because the person wandering around like a ghost rummaging through the trash was none other than his good friend, Bige, who wanted to recruit him.

"where is it?"

"Where! That guy Bert was just here; he got the potion and the mask!"

"He must have drunk it! But there must be some left in the vial! Just rinse it... just add water and we can get a new bottle of potion!"

Like a ghost wandering the junkyard, Bige paused, his gaze falling to a piece of trash. His lips trembled and split open, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, using both hands to shovel the trash aside like a stray dog ​​that had found fresh garbage. Soon, a vial of medicine appeared in front of him.

Bige, his hands trembling, reached out and scooped up the medicine. He was taken aback to find it completely bubble-free and unopened, but he quickly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"It's mine...it's mine!"

"Fool—fool! This is the answer, this is the one who can meet the gods!"

Bige forcefully unscrewed the cap of the potion and jerked his head back. Accompanied by surging bubbles, the potion, flowing with an absurd halo, sank and surged into Bige's dark throat under the starlight.

"what--"

Bige forcefully flung the empty pipe aside, then slowly stood up, still carrying the leaking mask.

"I am...only I am the one who vomits—"

Before he finished speaking, Bige's body suddenly swelled up like an inflating balloon, his skin tore apart, and pink flesh formed tiny hands that desperately stretched outwards, while his eyeballs were crushed as they rolled.

The changes continued, but Bige's body had reached its limit. With a crisp cracking sound, all sorts of flesh and blood exploded out and fell like rain. Strangely, the flesh and blood were like different creatures, exhibiting completely different forms and constantly shrinking and growing.

One figure after another appeared, blocking every passage leading to the landfill, coldly watching what was happening inside.

Chapter 155 That's something only fit for public display

So? What are your thoughts?

"

Valkyrie was unusually shy, avoiding eye contact with Li Yili. Despite her usually carefree demeanor, she could be quite bashful when necessary, like—

[The dangerous job of profiting from both ends is over. I can resell what I have and find a place to retire. If all else fails, traveling around is also a good option.]

At least for her, this was no different from a confession.

What does it mean that Li Yili is going to sell her things and settle accounts somewhere? Could it be that Li Yili still has something valuable on her?

Yes, definitely, but since it came from her mouth, it means she's probably reselling what she owns. If Li Yili said something suggestive of rejection at this point...

She might have cried and run into the sea right then and there.

Valkyrie's eyes flickered.

She's not some infatuated woman; it's impossible for her to fall head over heels for Li Yili after only knowing her for a few days... At most, she'd only go so far as to sleep with Li Yili. Even if feelings developed over time, it would still take at least a year and a half. Mistresses, after all, can break up with their spouses easily, let alone mistresses. As long as she doesn't care enough, it's as if she's the one who slept with Li Yili.

But she could tell that her most carefree younger sister had already fallen head over heels in love with him.

"Well..."

"If you dare refuse, I'll go and crash into the sea crying right now!" Valkyrie finally couldn't hold back and threatened Li Yili before she could give a clear answer.

Of course, this is less of a threat and more of a show of weakness.

Having seen through everything, Valkyrie sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead.

Her foolish sister was far too naive; if it were her...

They will definitely show off how many valuable things they have first.

If Li Yili did indeed have more items than her before... then we should consider making a scene, then threatening suicide.

Of course, Valkyrie was very confident in her sanity. Theoretically, it would take five or six years for her to reach the level of Valkyrie, who seemed to have Li Yili under her control, but was actually being thoroughly controlled by Li Yili.

“I didn’t refuse. I was just thinking that I’m being watched by Black Goat now. Although she can’t come to Instass in person to monitor my work, she can’t just ignore me running away,” Li Yili raised her hand and waved it.

"Well..."

Valkyrie also frowned.

It has to be said that this is indeed a very troublesome problem. If it were any other former cadre, it would be fine, but it is Black Goat, the most unpredictable of all the cadres. She does not want to live a life of being fully armed and on guard against attacks that may come at any time.

Valkyrie suddenly felt a little regretful. If it weren't for the undercover operation, their lives might not be as affluent as they are now, but at least they wouldn't have to worry about this and that. But without a lavish life... Li Yili might not be able to win her over.
