Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Let's work together." Her whisper was very light and dissipated into the air. "Let's work together to change him back..."

"Whatever it takes."

……

The roadside is quiet.

Zhuang Ning did not walk on the main road, but chose a secluded path.

I didn't bring a scout, but the black soldiers were following me anyway, so if I had any problems, they would take care of them.

But this environment is really unfriendly.

This city has never been friendly to me, so why did I want to stay here back then?

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the slums from the downtown area.

Low, dilapidated, and dead silent, the darkness of Longmen is concentrated here. Even after four years, there has been no change at all.

No... there should be some changes, right? At least there aren't so many ragged people on the roadside.

Night is coming.

In this place of Longmen where the security is the worst and even the Royal Guards cannot enter, he had the illusion of entering a rat's nest. Countless human-shaped rats were hiding in the darkness, squeaking and enduring criticism and ridicule.

Longmen do eat people, and they are never picky about what they eat.

Zhuang Ning raised his eyebrows, thinking it was really interesting.

Back then, Wei Yanwu had many righteous excuses for massacring people in the slums. Perhaps he would feel a little guilty about the people he slaughtered, but as time goes by, he won't remember it at all, right?

Ugh……

This is a staircase that cannot be touched at all.

Walking to the open space, the bright moonlight shone on the woman.

The beautiful figure, dressed in a black and purple dress, is the owner of the slums and downtown today.

Lin Yuxia.

"Doctor, you shouldn't enter the slums at will. After all, this is--" she said.

"Is it really chaotic? Not necessarily." Zhuang Ning raised her eyes calmly, "At least, there should be a few troublesome hall masters and big guys who died, right?"

"…You had someone do it, Doctor."

"I'm here to see you, Miss Lin." Zhuang Ning showed a very sincere expression, "If there is anyone you want to kill but don't want to dirty your hands, you can hand them over to me."

"We are a professional team, with powerful stain removal capabilities, and you can trust us."

His tone was very kind, which Lin Yuxia had never heard before.

Chapter 25 I Hope You Can Kill Someone

"It was you who did it." Lin Yuxia bit her lip and whispered.

The slums were her territory, and she had to know even the slightest sign of trouble.

It’s just that the interest relations in the slums are too complicated. Those big guys have backgrounds, or are connected to business associations, or are secretly the dogs of some politician.

Therefore, Wei Yanwu had to tolerate their existence for a time, and even the Rat King had to acquiesce and use his own prestige to set rules.

They are the cancer of Longmen, but they have been uprooted one after another in the past few days. Some died, some escaped, silently and impossible to track.

"Doc, why are you doing this?"

"Why?" Zhuang Ning asked again in his heart: "This is the agreement between me and Lord Wei. It is indeed difficult for you to take action against some people, but you can't just sit back and watch them grow stronger...Apart from Rhodes Island, is there a better way?"

It doesn’t matter how big the interests involved for those gangs are, after all, it’s not the Longmen officials and the Rat King who want to kill them.

Rhodes Island took the initiative to attract firepower. Just from this point of view, Lin Yuxia was indeed grateful to him.

"You are doing this..." She looked confused. "Rhodes Island's situation is not very good to begin with. Wouldn't it be more difficult if you do this?"

"For the future." Zhuang Ning told the truth.

He just didn't say that you are also part of my future.

The Rat King is too deeply rooted to be shaken, so he must take advantage of this most chaotic time to expand his influence and elevate the importance of Rhodes Island.

Zhuang Ning was sure that he would never encounter a better opportunity...

However, he managed to control his emotions and didn't let Lin Yuxia notice anything unusual.

Actually, compared to his past self, he is somewhat different, right?

He should make himself more like his old self, but what did he look like back then?

The memories are still there, yet so strange. Zhuang Ning has changed after all, and no longer holds any happiness.

However, Lin Yuxia didn't notice it.

"You don't have to..." She paused and uttered a word, "help me like this."

"I can take care of those gangs. I am the daughter of the Rat King after all!"

Zhuang Ning pondered the meaning of these words.

He looked at Lin Yuxia in the moonlight. The girl had a pair of bright eyes, but the sadness inside seemed to be unrelieved.

He had seen this defiant look when Wei Yanwu forced her to give the order to kill.

Really like ah.

The inheritance that this girl inherited from her father was not entirely legitimate. I guess she must be feeling uneasy and a little scared, and desperate to seek change, right?

This is exactly what can be exploited...

"It's okay." Zhuang Ning's tone was more concerned, and his voice was unconsciously close to hers. "Ms. Lin, we have always had a close relationship. If there is anything, it's best not to hide it."

After all, the more this happens, the more you will rely on Rhodes Island.

She nodded slightly, her smile showing sincerity: "It's good that you're back."

Clouds obscured the moonlight, the breeze rustled, and the sky and the earth suddenly became dark, as if one could hear the sound of a fight.

"You're in the wrong place." Lin Yuxia frowned, "This place is not safe."

"Lord Wei will protect me. If I am not safe in Longmen, then there will be no safe place in Terra." Zhuang Ning didn't care.

Lin Yuxia readily agreed with this and looked at the miserable scenery: "Thank you, Doctor."

"No need." He said without any pretense.

Really not necessary.

If he could, he would wipe out the gang immediately.

"Chen Huijie told me before that you have changed... I think she is the one who has changed." Lin Yuxia changed the subject, "At least, you will not be our enemy."

No?

That's because I still need you.

If I can't affect you, I can't control Longmen. So, you can't be an enemy.

But after Lin Yuxia said this, Zhuang Ning felt better. People he met along the way always made a fuss about him... It was really annoying.

Why can't it be like before?

His eyes softened when he looked at Lin Yuxia.

"Ms. Lin, I swear to the Victoria Bay of Longmen." Zhuang Ning was unprecedentedly solemn and acted in a serious manner. "Rhodes Island will definitely stand on your side."

"No need to be so solemn." Lin Yuxia felt a little awkward, "You should say that to Chen Huijie."

Although her smile was faint, she regained her confidence. Longmen was indeed at a critical moment and she was not alone.

At the intersection of the light, Lin Yuxia waved at Zhuang Ning. Only until she disappeared did the expression on Zhuang Ning's face dim a little bit and he walked into the darkness.

Faces interweave in my mind.

When I first met Chen Huijie at Longmen, she was still a very cold police inspector, and she was never merciful in her words or deeds.

There is Shi Huaiya, who is against Chen Huijie. She is a little bit arrogant, but she has a good heart and is not as arrogant as a young lady from a wealthy family.

There is Texas, who is taciturn and seems to care nothing.

And Lin Yuxia, she has probably been the most tired all along. It is clear that the Rat King hopes that she can take another path and not get involved in the darkness of Longmen, but she still went down this path...

These are the people you need.

"Doctor?" Zhuang Ning raised his head when he heard footsteps mixed with greetings.

"Scout, you're back." Zhuang Ning praised softly, "Well done, you are worthy of being the elite of Rhodes Island, the next hero of Kazdel."

Scout hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently, "They are just a bunch of fat and big-eared trash."

"But it's still not easy to kill them." Zhuang Ning turned his eyes back and knew that Scout had been watching him all the way. "How did I perform just now?"

"What?" Scout was stunned.

"You all think that I have changed... Maybe I have indeed changed. It's like I'm imitating my past self. That shouldn't be too exaggerated, right?" Zhuang Ning asked. He didn't quite trust his own performance.

Scout then realized that what Zhuang Ning meant was whether he was the same as before.

"Very similar." he said.

But it's just very similar, Scout thought.

Zhuang Ning calmed down and pretended not to notice Wei Yanwu's surveillance from afar.

"Go back to Rhode Island, Scout." He grinned, his tone was light and mocking, "As for those people, keep killing them. This time, we won't hide it and publicize it."

"I want the entire ghetto to know that Rhodes Island has no place for them."

The scout followed silently without raising any objections.

However, before returning to the island, Scout still mentioned it.

"Doctor, W wants to see you."

"What a coincidence! I want to meet her too." Zhuang Ning smiled, "I want to find her and kill someone."

"Who?"
