Ark Chess Player.

Hoshiguma glanced at her, then looked at the Integration Movement that had already rushed into Pacific Place, and helplessly raised her hand to her forehead.

"Old Chen, when did you become so indecisive? This is so unlike you."

"So what?" Chen countered, "Leaving you here? Is that the best option for me?"

Hoshiguma stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "This is the best option for the Guard Bureau."

“For me, it’s not like that.” Chen didn’t look away. She said seriously, “I don’t want to weigh everything in terms of interests anymore. Like you said, abandoning the partners we’re re-cooperating with in the ruined city and making countless excuses to return to Longmen. Maybe I really have changed. For the past two weeks, I’ve felt disgusted just looking at Longmen! How could a dignified Longmen be corrupted like this by the despicable and selfish thinking of a few people! Instead of that, we might as well just keep all the police force in the rich area and hand over the entire Longmen city and its outer ring road!”

"Old Chen! You can't say that!"

Hoshiguma was startled by Chen Huijie's remarks and quickly looked around.

This is a serious slip of the tongue. If others hear it, it could not only affect his future career, but he might even lose his position as a senior superintendent.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen's eyes revealed her frustration; she could no longer tolerate Longmen's actions.

—You police officers just need to stay on the front line; you don't need to worry about anything else.

This was the instruction Chen Gang received from her superior when she arrived at the Guard Bureau; it was also the first instruction she received at the Guard Bureau.

It's easy to imagine how heavy her sense of disgust was at the time, which is what motivated her to dedicate herself to changing the atmosphere of the Guard Bureau.

But does she really have a way to change the Guard Bureau?

It's hopeless, just wait to die.

Such thoughts kept lingering in Chen's mind.

She understands and strongly supports Lungmen's policies in response to the Chernobog incident. However, aside from the fact that Lungmen's superiors remained indifferent while the Guardian officers sacrificed their lives to protect Lungmen, why did they leave all their main forces behind in the rear? If it weren't for Rhodes Island's assistance, Hoshiguma's squad and the Guardian's Fourth Squad might have been completely wiped out, resulting in devastating damage.

The special forces, which cost countless funds and could only be commanded by Wei Yanwu, were all wiped out except for the Xuanwu Squad stationed in the wealthy district. Ironically, the most powerful squad, the Qianlong Squad, didn't die on the front lines defending Longmen, but rather in the rear!

The Lungmen Type 99 defense plan is laughable. It attempts to use Lungmen's residents as a price to eliminate the Reunion Movement. Is this Lungmen's choice? As long as the wealthy area is safe, they are willing to pay any price.

Stop talking nonsense!!

“Hoshiguma, I’ve never told you this, but I’ve always been very dissatisfied with Lungmen. I came to this city just to escape the nightmares of my past. I want to change everything that happened with my own hands, at least to prevent the past from happening again.”

"Old Chen..."

“Listen to me, let me finish.” Chen raised his hand, his gaze unwavering. “Back then, when I graduated from Victoria, I came to Lungmen and went straight into the Guard Bureau, living in the police quarters that very day. Because this wasn’t my home. For me, there are only a few important people in the whole world. You’re not just Inspector Hoshiguma to me, you’re my friend, my partner, my future family.”

"You've been protecting me for so long, shielding me from so much. Please allow me to be your shield once in a while, Hoshiguma."

Chen Huijie pulled out the Chixiao sword.

The Crimson Sky Sword rang out clearly; this was the first time the sword had responded to Chen.

Without waiting for Hoshiguma's response, she pushed off with her legs and shot towards the Reunion Movement like an arrow.

"what?!"

The reinforcements from the Reunion Movement seemed not to have anticipated the enemy's speed; their forward momentum couldn't be stopped in time, and they crashed straight into them.

The result can be imagined.

Chen Huijie, wielding two longswords, charged directly into the crowd. The brilliance of the swords flashed rapidly in the air, so fast that even the infected soldiers of the Reunion Movement could only strike her afterimages with their blades. No one could see Chen's swordsmanship clearly; it was as if a blue dragon followed her, accompanied by a gust of wind wherever she went. The domineering swords reigned supreme on the battlefield, unleashing countless sword beams in an instant.

The infected members of the Reunion Movement let out resentful howls, watching helplessly as their comrades were killed in a single blow, wishing they could tear Chen to pieces on the spot. The Reunion Movement launched a full-scale attack, but Chen, wielding a pair of longswords, fought valiantly against all odds.

Scarlet Sky·Absolute Shadow!

With his fluid and graceful swordsmanship, Chen could predict the attacks of any enemy, no matter how many there were.

No matter how many people there are, it's meaningless, because she can deal with the attack of only ten people in the shortest amount of time.

The blade flashed, and each strike took a life.

"cut!"

Chi Xiao formed a sword array, and the arrogant and unrestrained killing sword energy filled the entire space, with the crimson sword light obscuring the view.

The Reunion Movement's encirclement collapsed instantly, and those closest to Chen were torn to pieces by the sword energy! Streams of sword energy pierced through his corpse and reached behind him, causing the infected soldiers to scream incessantly, as if they had fallen into hell, with the remains of their comrades everywhere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the most critical moment for the Reunion soldiers, a heavily armored man in full protective gear charged forward! He skillfully held a black tower shield as tall as himself in the center of his body, stepping into the sword formation and kicking the other soldiers out of the sword aura's range.

"yes, Sir!"

"Big brother is here!"

"Brother, let's fuck that bitch to death!!!"

The Reunion soldiers, having survived the ordeal, wept with joy.

Admiring gazes fell upon the back of the shield-wielding man, admiring his heavy full set of armor and his strong arms!

Big Shield Guy, my Superman!

The soldiers of the Reunion Movement rallied.

"Zizzi-"

Within the Crimson Sky Sword Formation, incomparably sharp crimson sword energy intertwined around the heavily armored defender, leaving sword marks on the surface of his armor. The Great Shield Hero was like a piece of metal thrown into a meat grinder, emitting a noise that made one's teeth ache and ears hurt.

Even so, Big Shield Bro still advanced towards the enemy with his shield raised, without any fear.

"Ha, who gave you the confidence to challenge me?"

Chen Huijie stared at the other person calmly, as if looking at a corpse.

Even the Bone Raider, with its extremely strong regenerative ability, was once chopped into dust by her with a single strike, let alone a heavily armored warrior.

"Chixiao..."

Chi Xiao sheathed his sword, and the sword formation stirred up a gust of wind, after which the sword energy gradually returned.

Chen assumed a fighting stance, her hand hovering over the Crimson Sky Sword, channeling her unwavering will to win into the weapon.

There's an old saying—true duelists even have their card draws predetermined; they just say what they want, and their cards will respond! The same goes for weapons; if you want something, just say it!

The shield-wielding man's visor glowed red; he knew this was his only chance, and success or failure hinged on this moment!

Raise shield, bend over, charge forward!

A series of mournful groans echoed from the floor of the Ancient Plaza. Weighing two hundred pounds plus two hundred pounds of heavy armor, it was practically a humanoid heavy machine. The Ursus race's talents lay in their sturdy physique, immense strength, and unwavering will, all of which were perfectly displayed at this moment.

A fierce wind howled as Big Shield Brother charged forward, shield raised, creating gusts of wind.

Chen's long hair fluttered in the wind, and she squinted her eyes slightly, her eyes filled with dazzling light.

The sky formed by spiritual consciousness seemed to condense into a drop of water, falling into a clear lake and creating ripples.

Chen made her move; at that moment, it was as if she had grasped not the Crimson Sky, but an inch of light.

"flash!!"

Crimson Sky - Draw Sword

Hundreds of flashes of light streaked towards the enemy at the same moment, and all the enemies in front of them were within the range of the slashes!

"Qiang——!!!"

Chixiao let out a deafening roar, countless sparks flew, and red-hot iron filings drifted in the air.

The heavily armored shield-wielding Reunion soldier was cleaved in two; half of his bloodied, severed body was almost entirely composed of ore, indicating he was already on the verge of death. The shield-wielding soldier's shield was less than three meters from Chen, and those brief three meters decided the outcome of the battle. Ursus's prized heavy weaponry couldn't withstand Chen's single strike, and not only him, but even the Reunion soldiers who had cowered behind him were pierced by the indestructible sword's edge.

—The eldest brother has fallen.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

The Reunion soldier who had narrowly avoided the sword's edge watched what was happening before him, muttering to himself as if he had lost the ability to form a coherent sentence. He turned to look at the other side, where a woman with dark green hair, covered in blood, stood there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

It's pointless; these are people from the Guard Bureau.

"Let's die together!!"

The thought that even if he died, he would drag someone down to hell took hold of his mind, and the infected soldier rushed forward, slashing at the enemy.

"Prepare to die—Aaaaaaah!!"

Startled, Hoshiguma instinctively swung her left arm to deflect the incoming blade, then grabbed the man's head and lifted him high into the air. Hoshiguma was a full 1.84 meters tall, and the short soldier she grabbed was thrown off the ground, a chilling sound emanating from his neck.

Hoshiguma's five fingers were embedded in the infected soldier's skull like shackles, and she was unconsciously gradually increasing her strength.

"Kakakaka..."

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible, immediately stunning the remaining Reunion soldiers.

This kind of death is far more terrifying than dying by the sword of another madwoman.

Hoshiguma was in a daze, her mind filled with what Old Chen had said.

"Hoshiguma, you are my friend, my partner, and my future family."

friend……

partner……

Home, family?!

"Eh, eh eh eh!?"

Hoshiguma instinctively clenched her fist, unintentionally crushing the enemy's head.

The mask shattered, blood splattered, and the headless corpse, lifeless and limp like a puppet, fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Reunion Movement watched silently, then turned and charged toward the other woman, roaring.

What the hell is this!

Time passed, and when Hoshiguma finally came to her senses and joined the battle, the fight was nearing its end.

After Chen Huijie drew her Crimson Blade and killed the shield-wielding man and eight or nine infected soldiers with a single strike, she switched to a standard longsword for the next round. The Crimson Blade placed too much strain on her body; with her mental strength, she couldn't sustain it for long. Of course, the Crimson Blade's effectiveness was remarkable; she hadn't yet encountered an enemy that couldn't be killed with a single strike. If there was, then two strikes would suffice.

"Medical team, Exit 12, south side of the former Daigo Plaza! One injured person, identified as an inspector from the Imperial Guard Bureau. Act quickly!"

Superintendent Chan roared into the walkie-talkie, her voice still full of energy even after a fierce battle.

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Chen looked at Hoshiguma anxiously and asked, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Old Chen, I..."

Hoshiguma suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest with her left hand, looking extremely pained.

"Hoshiguma?!" Chen Huijie was startled and rushed over to pick up Hoshiguma. Her voice trembled, "Hoshiguma, don't scare me! Are you hurt again?!"

Hoshiguma pursed her lips deeply, gazing into her friend's eyes, while Old Chen's eyes were only on her.

"Old Chen, I have a wish, can you help me fulfill it?"

"You said I could do anything for you!"

"So……"

Hoshiguma slowly opened her left hand, holding a rectangular portable voice recorder, the glowing light indicating that it was recording.

"Could you repeat what you said to me before?"

Chapter 395 Where there is a dragon, there is spirit

"Old Chen, don't be angry!"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

"Please don't ignore me, oh my hand hurts so much..."

Hoshiguma followed behind Chen, looking aggrieved, with a large bump on her head that was faintly steaming.

Chen Huijie ignored her, crossed her arms and walked at the front, puffing out her cheeks unhappily, clearly quite angry with Hoshiguma.

"Each team should check for any injuries, report the number immediately, and update the situation on the ground!"

After speaking, Superintendent Chen silently hung the walkie-talkie back on his belt, glanced back at Hoshiguma, and looked at him with a resentful expression.

Do you know what I'm angry about?

I'm giving you a chance; make the most of it.

"I know I was wrong!" Hoshiguma straightened her back, her face sincere, and raised her hand in salute. "I shouldn't have lied to you! My mistake was that, although I really wanted to hear it again, a recording obtained through illegal means cannot be used as evidence, nor can it be considered valid physical evidence in court!"

"I'm angry because you pretended to be dead to scare me!!"
