We are from the future ark

This is a very novel profession in a gray area, but it seems to be laid out in the open without any concealment. From this point, we can see the psychedelic nature of the city of Victoria, and... some kind of established "rules" here.
"Victoria... This is my fourth time here, and it looks no different than I remembered."
In a very ordinary rental house very close to the street, Chen Qi saw everything on the street through the window - people, vehicles, and noisy tourists and "tour guides".
This is a city that has already taken shape, and it is also a city...whose operating methods cannot be changed at all.
The city's way of life cannot be destroyed. Unless the entire country is turned upside down from the root, the order here cannot be changed.
Of course, Chen Qi had no interest in changing Victoria. He was not the monarch of Victoria. He was just somewhat close to some people in this country of Victoria. Therefore, he was more involved in the...political affairs of the country of Victoria.
Chen Qi had said before that he had a lot of business cooperation with the Kingdom of Victoria. It was not only because Victoria had a very gentle attitude towards foreign diplomacy, but more because Chen Qi had some "internal connections" that made Victoria choose to cooperate with Rhodes Island more often.
Although it may sound a bit mean to say this, Chen Qi still likes to take advantage of Victoria.
One is willing to take advantage of the other is willing to be taken advantage of. It's a very strange relationship, but the cooperation has indeed been established.
Therefore, Chen Qi did not have as much hostility towards the country of Victoria as he did towards Ursus.
This is a enslaved country, but that does not mean it is a hopeless country.
In Chen Qi's impression, this country is not short of hope, and this hope is just around the corner!
"...Chen Qi, what is our purpose in coming to the capital of Victoria?"
"Besides, why do we have to dress so...conspicuously?"
Beside Chen Qi, Chen Huijie also walked over slowly. Her outfit today clearly showed off her "fashionability". She was wearing the most famous branded goods from head to toe, and they were very close fitting, showing off Chen Huijie's slim figure to the fullest.
It's not just Chen Huijie, but also Ifrit, Skadi and others who were traveling with them. They were all very particular about their outfits, some were fashionable, some were formal, and some had exotic styles. They looked like a tour group composed of people from all over the place, and they were all beautiful girls and young ladies.
Oh, Chen Qi is not like that. Although his outfit this time is very fashionable, he never goes out these days. Maybe he is afraid that there will be too many women around him and attract attention.
"It may seem conspicuous, but in Victoria, you are most noticeable if you are inconspicuous."
Chen Qi smiled faintly, continued to look at the crowd outside the window, and said with a faint smile: "This is the most fashionable country in the entire Terra continent. Here, if you dress like a country bumpkin, believe me, you will definitely be targeted by countless ruffians here, and they will easily cheat you out of all your money."
"Here, being conspicuous is inconspicuous, and being ordinary is truly eye-catching."
"I see..." Chen Huijie understood after hearing this, and murmured to herself, "No wonder Char Siu Cat always asks Xingxiong and I to dress nicely every time he invites us to dinner... So that's how it is..."
"...I always feel that Aunt Shi Huaiya has been misunderstood by you for a long time, but I'd better save this sentence for when I get back."
After hearing Chen's mumbling, Chen Qi was speechless for a while and didn't want to say more. He retracted his gaze and said to Chen:
"The purpose of this trip is mainly to find out some clues about the destruction of Jiaweier's hometown. If I guess correctly, this incident should be related to a person who lives here now."
"A man? Who is he? Do you know him?"
"...Yes, I know him very well."
However, when he thought of that man's face, Chen Qi lost his good expression. After a strange twitch, Chen Qi said lightly:
"He is also one of our targets this time. Now our whereabouts are completely concealed. It can be said that this is the closest we have been and the one with the highest chance of success."
"If our action fails this time, then it will be really difficult for us to take action against him again."
Chen Qi said calmly that he was not too sure about this operation. In fact, every assassination was a gamble, and all they could do was to handle every detail as perfectly as possible before each gamble.
"Of course, before we take action against him, we need to find another person. This will greatly increase the success rate of our action - even if it fails, we can still gain the support of a country like Victoria."
As Chen Qi said this, he came to the layout map of the living room, which showed the topography and various areas of Londinium in detail, even down to the alleys.
This is a sketch that Chen Qi drew based on his memory, and supplemented with the information collected by Angelina. It is a map of Londinium that is about 70% complete. Although it is not complete, its level of detail is already more detailed than any map currently sold on the market.
After all, no one here dares to sell you the real Londinium defense map.
"Sister Angelina, how is the intelligence gathering going?"
"Hehe, little brother Chen Qi, are you still not confident in my abilities?"
Angelina patted her chest, and then clearly drew an area on the map.
"I've already found out that Victoria's slums are in this area. Although Victoria doesn't have slums on the surface, this downtown area is the real Victoria slums."
"That place is no different from the slums in Longmen. All the infected people in this city gather there. However, compared to Longmen, the infected people there and the non-infected people in the city are more isolated from each other. It's basically the infected people who are always fighting among themselves."
"Slums... There are places like this in every city." As a senior police superintendent in Longmen, Chen has many memories of slums, so when she heard this word, she reacted instinctively.
"But...what can we find in the slums?"
"—Glasgow Gang."
Chen Qi answered Chen Huijie's question calmly and said the name of this gang which was quite famous in Victoria.
"In the open and covert fighting in the slums, this gang is well-known for relying on violence to survive. But according to Sister Angelina, there have been fewer gang fights in the past few days, and many gang members have even started to gather together and work together."
"And the person who is behind this is the one we are looking for this time - this is also the best time for us to help Victoria escape from slavery."
"Who is that? Who has such great power?" Chen Huijie couldn't help but become serious when he heard that, and then immediately asked.
After hearing this, Chen Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said word by word:
"A former elite operator of Rhodes Island, the crown prince of Victoria, a true royal bloodline, a true orthodox with royal bloodline who is protected in this way by the Victorian royal family."
"She is the real breakthrough point of our operation this time!"
"The King of Advancement - and the future Queen of Victoria, Her Majesty Vina!"
Chapter 93: Vina Appears, the Crown Prince of the Slums
The slums of Victoria are no different from the slums in other cities. This romantic country does not add a different atmosphere. This place is still a symbol of dirtiness.
The narrow streets, the broken walls, the eerie alleys where no one could be seen, and one didn’t even know where they led.
"It feels... the same as patrolling the slums in Longmen."
Chen Huijie held Chi Xiao in his hand and followed Chen Qi all the time. Looking at the place around him, which was unfamiliar but similar to the Longmen slums, he said lightly:
"Every city has a place like this... it has lost its superficial glamour and is now living in disgrace, carrying all the darkness."
"It's true that you're living in poverty, but you're still alive, right?"
Chen Qi didn't think anything of it. He looked around the area called Lower Town, which was actually a slum, and said calmly:
“Even if it’s bad, I’m still alive. In this continent, being able to open my eyes and greet the next day is already a great fortune.”
"At least, there is still a place for them to survive. If they drive out all the infected people like Lao Wei did in the past and make the entire Longmen a place without infected people, that would be true destruction."
"...You're right." A hint of sadness flashed across Chen's eyes. As the chief of police in Longmen, she naturally knew a lot of things. That's why she had been secretly helping many people in the slums... in her personal name.
She did not deny that every city had a dark side, but she hoped that even on the dark side, those innocent people could live a less difficult life, or at least a less difficult one...
However, Chen did not fall into sadness now. She quickly calmed down and looked at the surrounding environment.
"...Chen Qi, is the Crown Princess of Victoria that you mentioned really here? Is she in a place like this?"
"The crown prince is the crown prince. Since he is the crown prince, he naturally has a kind of leadership." Chen Qi smiled slightly and talked about his impression of Queen Victoria.
"For many years, Victoria has not been as wealthy as Colombia, nor as powerful as Ursus, and even in terms of trade and other aspects, it cannot compare to a country of the same level like Yan."
"However, Victoria has been in power for many years and has never had a tyrant. Even though the royal family has become a puppet, they can still preserve the crown prince's flame under such circumstances. It can be seen that they are indeed a far-sighted country."
"However, most of Victoria's enslavement is due to too many lifelines being seized. But if they lose their worries, then with Victoria's fighting power, there will be no problem in launching a rebellion."
"All we need is a legitimate candidate - the Crown Prince is the best candidate."
"…It's just a few of us, is that ok?"
However, Chen was still a little worried. This time, apart from her and Chen Qi, the only one left was Skadi who had been following them.
Chen was not familiar with Skadi. He only saw her fighting side by side with Chen Qi during the Longmen period. However, Chen knew nothing about Skadi's strength or anything else.
However, Chen could vaguely feel that Skadi was very strong. There was an irrepressible sense of oppression from her body. Even Chen, with his strength and race, felt an inexplicable threat.
"Ifrit, Huang, and Gavial need to look after the house. Lappland and the others are off to handle another matter. The manpower they need for that mission is much higher than what we need."
"This is already a very easy task. The danger we face here is much lower than over there. We probably won't need to start a big fight."
"After all, the Glasgow Gang is very stable now, and they shouldn't start a big fight with us visiting guests—"
However, as soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he sensed something, and stopped.
Although Chen felt strange, he also stopped and heard Skadi behind him say lightly:
"Chen Qi...someone is coming."
"I know."
Chen Qi glanced around slightly, and the mechanical left arm made a slight sound. Through his Originium skills, he quickly captured the figures hiding in the dark.
"About seven or eight people, and they have weapons."
"——But don't be nervous, as long as we act friendly, maybe..."
"——Hand over your money!"
However, this time, before Chen Qi could open his mouth, with a loud shout, several figures suddenly rushed out from the shadows, accompanied by bursts of Victorian language, and rushed towards Chen Qi and his group!
"I take it back! A violent organization is a violent organization!"
Chen Qi finally had no way to make excuses this time. These guys from the slums who were rushing towards him had to be subdued first.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I can get some information about Vina's current situation from them.
"Chen, Skadi."
"Understood!" X2
Chen and Skadi shouted at the same time, and the two women drew their weapons at the same time and aimed at the enemies in front of them.
"【Chi Xiao. Draw the sword】!"
A red sword light flashed by. In front of an elite operator like Chen, these ruffian-like characters were no match for Chen's attack.
As for the few people at the back, Skadi was even more relaxed. He swept his sword and defeated these losers in an instant.
"...Is this the strength of the Glasgow Gang? Then our trip might be in vain."
Skadi glanced at the half-dead people on the ground and spoke lightly, but there was a hint of inexplicable hostility in her words.
She seems... not so willing to come to Vina?
"Chen Qi, are you sure that lion is worth our efforts? With such weak subordinates, I don't think we can even break into the palace."
"...Skadi, I know you and Vina don't have a good relationship, but please don't take this matter so personally, okay?"
Chen Qi was also a little helpless. He didn't know why Skadi, who was usually cold to others, had such a bad relationship with Vina, who was usually lazy. Normally, both of them were the kind of people who didn't talk much, so why were they so incompatible?
Or was there something unpleasant going on between Skadi and Vina during the last cooperation negotiation with Victoria? But how come he didn't get any news at all?
Chen Qi couldn't figure it out, but this time, he had to bring Skadi with him. After all, she was a very heavyweight and powerful warrior. With Skadi, Chen Qi could deal with most emergencies.
What's more, this time, it was Skadi who asked to come over, so it was difficult for Chen Qi to refuse.
"... Let's see if there are any who are still alive. We can't kill them all, or it will be difficult to negotiate with Vina."
Just when Chen Qi bent down to check if there were any unconscious people who could be used, suddenly, Skadi's slightly lazy eyes suddenly froze.
"——Chen Qi, the person we are looking for is here."
As soon as Skadi finished speaking, Chen Qi also felt it.
Coming out from the street at the other end, there were a dozen people... walking slowly towards them.
The aura of the leader was clearly different from that of the others...purity and momentum.
Chapter 94: Attack of the King of Advancement
A sound of undisguised footsteps came slowly and without any rhythm. Obviously, this was not a professionally trained team and could only be described as a group of guerrillas.
However, the aura of some of them was obviously much stronger and more ferocious than the people Chen Qi and his team had just dealt with.
This feeling of not concealing one's strength at all...is not very comfortable.
"...Hey? Which family's young master is lost? He followed his female companion to the downtown area?"
Among the dozen or so people in the dark, one of them couldn't help but make a teasing sound after seeing Chen Qi and his group clearly.
The female voice was a little frivolous, and at first glance it was hard to tell it was a female voice, but one could hear her frivolous voice saying:
