The three quickened their pace, preparing to escape as soon as possible; at the very least, they had to wait until they were sure it was safe.

However, they had only run a short distance when several Silvermane Iron Guards suddenly sprang out from the walls on both sides ahead, opening fire and forcing the three to stop in their tracks.

"They really did catch up... They even set up an ambush..."

March 7th looked at the group of Silvermane Iron Guards blocking his way and scratched his head in annoyance. At that moment, Bronya appeared behind him.

"The escape game is over. Put down your weapons and come back with me."

"Sigh, you're really persistent... I don't understand what crime we committed that you've been chasing us all the way here!"

March 7th was quite confused, while Bronya honestly explained the message Cocolia had conveyed.

Instead, they accused the three train crew members of being fraudsters, claiming that not only were their identities and purposes fabricated, but that they were also trying to undermine the Builders' control over Belloberg.

It seems that no matter what the three of them say, Bronya won't believe them. There's no point in saying more; they have no choice but to take action now.

None of the three were pushovers; they were not to be trifled with. If they resisted, they would be more than ordinary guards could handle.

But continuing like this couldn't go on. Just as Qiong was considering whether to summon a star and use time stop, a voice that didn't quite fit the current situation appeared.

"Um, I didn't mean to ruin the tense atmosphere~"

As the sound appeared, several spherical objects rolled out from the corner, each with a lit fuse, and then exploded, releasing a large amount of smoke.

“I just wanted to say that Sangbo would never let a friend who helped us suffer a loss… Hey? You, how could you…”

Sangbo, walking into the crowd, was taken aback when he saw Qiong, who was still conscious. Qiong was obviously surprised as well, but he remembered one thing.

"Hey, wait, wait! Don't make a move yet, my friend. Look at the situation now, is this the time to take action?"

Sambo quickly stopped Qiong, who was about to swing his bat at him on the head, and pointed to the Silvermane Iron Guards outside the smoke who had not yet been affected.

From this perspective, what the other party said does make sense, but Qiong doesn't completely believe what the other party means.

"It's okay if you don't trust me. Let's go to a safe place first, okay?"

"That's okay too."

Qiong nodded, then struggled to find two figures in the smoke, hoisted them onto her shoulders, one on each side, and followed Sambo, who was not far away.

Before they knew it, the surrounding environment became dark, and when they came to their senses, they seemed to be underground.

"Where is this place? March, Danheng, you guys... Eh? Bronya?!"

Qiong stared in shock at the silver-haired woman on his right shoulder, but something was wrong. He was sure he was carrying Dan Heng, not Bronya.

No, no, no! That's not what we should be concerned about right now. Where did Danheng go? Could he still be up there? That would be terrible!

Just as Qiong was about to go back to rescue Danheng, she suddenly noticed that Sangbo, who was in the shadows ahead, also had someone on his shoulder.

"What's wrong, my friend? Just a little further ahead, we'll be there soon."

Why is Danheng with you?

"Huh? You mean this young man? Didn't we agree that each of us would carry one to make things easier?"

When exactly did we agree to that?

Qiong looked at Sangbo, who was pretending to be stupid in front of him, speechless. He was also quite sure that it was Sangbo who was behind his mistake of Bronya for Danheng!

Even if that's not the case, it's still related to the smoke bombs thrown by the other side!

"My God! How did you manage to take care of Miss Bronya? Wait, I get it, you're going to take her hostage, right?"

Sangbo looked enlightened. Seeing this, Qiong didn't know how to explain it, since that seemed to be the case.

"It was just an accident..."

"Oh, I understand, I understand. Then please move a few more steps, we'll be there soon."

Then, under Sambo's guidance, Qiong came into contact with the city of Beloborg for the first time, the part that was shrouded in shadow.

Unlike the bustling and warm Upper East Side, the environment here is dilapidated and cold, making it hard to imagine that this is part of that city...

"We've arrived, my friend, welcome to the Lower City!"

Sangbo seemed somewhat honored as he introduced the place to Qiong. If it weren't for his slight bow, he would have almost lost his balance and fallen down along with Danheng.

The scene before him could barely be described as having any semblance of decorum. He then followed Sambo to a building in the lower city that resembled a hospital.

"Boss, I'm back. Could you please arrange a few beds so that my guests can rest for a while?"

"Sambo? What's going on? What have you done now? And this one..."

A woman dressed in a white coat, who looked like a doctor, approached Sambo, her gaze then sweeping over Qiong.

"Oh, boss, this is a long story, but anyway... could you please do me a favor?"

"Sigh, bring the person over here."

The woman sighed softly and shook her head helplessly. Sangbo was overjoyed to see this and thanked her repeatedly. Qiong followed him and settled March 7 and Bronya on the empty hospital bed.

The woman then began to examine the three unconscious people. After confirming that they were only unconscious, she began to question Sambo.

As for Qiong, he was good at reading the atmosphere, so he quietly slipped out of the room, intending to wander around the place.

It was indeed a novel place, but as he walked along, he... seemed to have gotten lost.

No, what's going on? Qiong clearly remembers coming from this direction, so how come she can't find her way back after going around in circles?

Honestly, of all times, Xing disappears without a trace, while the other guy always acts like he knows everything...

Wait, could it be that...?

Qiong Yi suddenly realized something. Based on Xing's personality, she was very likely watching him from somewhere.

Come out, I see you!

After a long silence, just when Qiong thought he had guessed wrong, a voice suddenly rang out.

How did you find me?

Then a girl with long, light purple hair suddenly appeared, which really startled Qiong. She had exquisite features.

Even in this somewhat gloomy environment, one could still see that her face, filled with doubt, was still quite pretty. But at this moment, Qiong certainly couldn't admit her mistake.

"Ahem, something this simple can't possibly escape my notice."

"Oh?"

Qiong's calm words piqued the girl's interest; she had noticed him shortly after he entered the lower city.

After all, he came back with that guy Sambo, so who knows what kind of troublemaker he might be? We should keep a close eye on him.

Unexpectedly, she has now made a surprising discovery, which makes her want to negotiate with the other party more, especially since they dared to say such things.

Chapter Thirty-One Seele: Wait! You don't... Ugh!

This made her wonder: if the other party dared to make such boastful claims, she wondered what their actual strength was and whether they posed a threat.

However, she certainly didn't know the actual situation, and at this moment, Qiong was trying to change the subject in order to avoid her boasting being exposed.

"Oh, by the way, may I ask you something..."

"Let's have a match."

"what?"

Qiong was just joking around and wanted to ask for directions, but she never expected the other party to want to fight right away. Are the people in the lower districts really this fierce?

Just as he was wondering, the girl in front of him continued to speak.

"If you want to make demands, beat me first."

"…All right."

Since the other party had already said that, Qiong no longer refused. As the saying goes, if young people aren't spirited, what kind of young people are they?

Now is the perfect time to test her strength, and Qiong is quite confident in herself.

He then gripped the summoned baseball bat tightly, and the girl opposite him smiled when she saw how decisively he agreed.

"Great, let's get started!"

Without a word, the girl produced a long scythe and swung it with both hands, bringing a whooshing sound as she slashed heavily at the sky.

Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Qiong gripped the bat tightly with both hands, choosing to meet it head-on.

With a loud clang, the weapons in their hands came together, and they remained locked in a stalemate for quite some time.

As if trying to force someone to give up first, they were all exerting their strength desperately. In the end, the girl gave up first and pushed Qiong away.

Taking advantage of this gap, the girl reorganized her offensive, no longer trying to win by brute force as before, but instead began to skillfully wield the scythe in her hand.

Like a butterfly among flowers, the scythe in the girl's hand gradually disappeared, as if she had swung it too fast, leaving no afterimage.

Seeing this, Qiong was slightly startled, but his clever mind quickly came up with a solution, and he also swung his baseball bat.

Although I didn't block the opponent's attacks precisely every time, that didn't matter. As long as I was fast enough, I could keep the opponent's attacks from hitting me.

"This...this is way too unfair..."

The girl, who had once again failed to defeat Qiong, couldn't help but complain, but she was not willing to give up and changed her strategy again.

She used the same trick she had used when they first met: countless pale blue butterflies appeared silently, concealing the girl's figure and causing her to gradually disappear like a quantum ghost.

Qiong was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

This is going to be difficult. If you can't see each other at all, how are you supposed to play?

Qiong tried to sense things carefully and seemed to be able to vaguely hear some footsteps, but the other party was very cautious and was not in a hurry to launch an attack.

It's not hard to guess that the other party wanted to test whether Qiong could see through her hiding method, which is why they slowly approached him.

The other party wasn't far away just now. Even if they were moving slowly, it wouldn't be long before they had a sickle to their neck.

That's not the outcome Qiong wants, and he doesn't want to break through all laws with force again either, but what other options are there right now?

If I could improve my perception, I should be able to spot the other person, right? Wait, perception!

Qiong Yi suddenly realized something and began to draw upon another power within her body—the power of pleasure.

This power can not only be used to deal with stars or the Black Tower, but can also help him enhance his senses in various aspects.

Therefore, after successfully activating this power, Qiong closed her eyes slightly, and then, with lightning speed, turned around and grasped the girl's fair wrist.

"you!"

For some reason, the girl's movements paused. Qiong clearly hadn't used much strength, but as her wrist was grabbed, the girl felt her body become strange.

The skin covered by fabric, including the feet in shoes, and even the friction between the bare skin and the air all conveyed a strange feeling.

This feeling was especially pronounced at her wrist, which was being held by Qiong. She tried to break free, but she was powerless. Her hand unconsciously loosened its grip, and the long scythe fell to the ground.

But the girl couldn't care less at that moment. Her body went limp and she fell backward. Seeing this, Qiong instinctively turned around and supported the girl's waist.

But when a hand touches Seele's lower abdomen through her thin skin, it only arouses her more, causing her to instinctively struggle.

His slender legs tripped Qiong by sheer coincidence, causing him to fall to the ground as well.

"Wait! Don't... Ugh!"

The girl wanted to say something to resist, but she couldn't. Her pupils contracted sharply as she looked at the sky so close to her, and tears slid down her cheeks.

Their lips were pressed tightly together. What did they feel at that moment? The answer is yes.

That's pain!

It hurts so much!

It's important to know that this wasn't a normal kiss; they bumped into each other. Even though they both instinctively took precautions when they fell, neither of them suffered any serious injury.

The pain from the impact of the lips was very slight, but don't forget the current situation; even the slightest pain is magnified tenfold.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Seele pushed hard with both hands without hesitation. Qiong stood up, but before he could speak, the delicate sole of her shoe came straight at his cheek.

"What are you doing?!"

Qiong reacted quickly, instinctively dodging and then swiftly grabbing the girl's fair ankle.

"You, you... bastard!"

Seele gritted her teeth, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and angrily tried to pull her foot back. She was so strong that Qiong couldn't hold on to it for a moment, and the leg in her hand escaped.

However, he left one of his shoes behind, revealing Seele's white cotton socks, but she was not affected by it.

Instead, he kicked again, seemingly determined to press the sole of his foot against Qiong's face before stopping. After a few such kicks, the latter also became angry.
