I'm in the Ark, a player.

[Synopsis: When you left Lungmen, a group called the Red Hand Society was acting very arrogantly! Red Hand? Let them see what a black hand is!]

Please help Chen Huijie find all the smuggled goods (0/20)

[Current Stage Goal: Tracking Vehicles]

Target alertness level: 20%

That's right, it really wasn't discovered.

Then there's no problem!

Hearing Qin Tianling's confident words, Chen Huijie was speechless.

God the hell, you think we won't be discovered if we don't get too close? Do you really think everyone's blind?!

never mind,

You can go back in time, and I've already sent you a task request.

If the tracking fails, you'll know how to backtrack yourself without me even having to tell you.

So all I need to do is trust Qin Tianling, just like I trusted her before.

However, after much deliberation, Chen Huijie still...

"Even if, as you say, the other party doesn't think we're following them yet, could you please not drive on the sidewalk... it's very dangerous."

Pedestrians are in danger!

"What are you saying, Officer Chen? Sidewalks are for people to use. The sidewalk is so spacious and there's no one around. What's wrong with me using it for a bit? Am I not a person?"

Besides, if anything really happens, we can just go to jail!

Anyway, I can skip time now!

Qin Tianling's words gave the impression that he was openly and boldly pushing the lane, and if he got caught by the enemy, he would just die openly in front of them.

"...Am I going to the police station too?"

Chen Huijie turned to look at Qin Tianling and asked hesitantly.

"Yes, let's go in together!"

Then I give up.

Qin Tianling drove his white sedan, which was barely recognizable as a car and even had smoke coming from the engine, wildly bouncing up and down for a distance before…

The Red Hands van made a turn and stopped in front of a red building. The driver watched as the dilapidated white van continued to drive wildly forward, then turned at the next entrance and disappeared from sight.

"See? I told you, these delivery guys were just following us along the way."

Being vigilant is a good thing, but failing to make the right judgments will only make you feel like everyone is a cop.

The older man in the driver's seat spoke earnestly to his younger brother as he opened the car door and got out.

"Let's go, there's still a lot of goods to move."

He beckoned his underlings into the red building.

And a moment later,

A purple figure rolled out from under the car, got up, dusted off his clothes, and followed behind them.

The two members of the Red Hand Society went up to the sixth floor, unlocked the room door with a key, and went inside.

A pile of wooden crates was neatly arranged in the room.

"Seriously? So many boxes, how long would it take the two of us to move them?"

Looking at so many goods, the younger brother felt a chill run down his spine and began to complain.

The older brother walked straight into the pile of wooden crates, inspected them, and pulled out one of the crates.

No, no need.

Don't worry, the boss isn't stupid. If we really needed to move that much stuff, how could it possibly require just the two of us?

We only need to move six boxes of stuff.

"Oh, that's good then."

The younger brother nodded, looked around at the numerous goods in the room, and muttered something to himself.

"I don't know why the boss would choose a place like this to hide the goods. It's really strange."

"Because the stock is small, there are many places to hide it, and this should be one of the least likely places to be discovered."

Who would have thought we'd hide the goods in this unassuming apartment building?

As he spoke, the older brother squatted down and pulled out another wooden crate.

"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, come and lend a hand, let's move this box downstairs first."

But after he said that, he didn't get a response from his younger brother.

Are you spacing out?

I said, move one box down first! ?

As the elder brother stood up and turned to look in the direction his younger brother had been standing, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The once perfectly healthy underling was now lying unconscious on the ground, and standing nearby was a purple-clad, pink-haired Zalak girl.

By the time he realized what was happening, the girl in purple had already taken action, her figure rapidly rushing towards him.

During the sprint, the girl suddenly pushed off the ground and leaped into the air. Her right leg extended forward and bent at the knee, delivering a vicious knee strike straight to the face of the Red Hand Gang leader!

The force was so great that he lost consciousness in an instant and collapsed to the ground.

The visitor was none other than...

It was Lin Yuxia, the daughter of the Rat King, who ruled the slums of Longmen and was also the head of the Longmen underworld.

She had been investigating the Red Hands for a long time, and today she finally got her chance.

Drawing her staff, Lin Yuxia channeled Originium Arts into a sword, inserted it into a gap in the side of the wooden crate, and pried open the top.

The contents of the wooden crate came into view: a series of exquisite wooden boxes wrapped in straw. Picking one up and opening it revealed a row of high-end cigars.

Smuggling high-end custom-made cigars?

Do the Red Hands smuggle this stuff?

No, that's not right.

It's not that simple.

She emptied the cigar box, examined the empty box from all angles for a long time, and then used the glass blade formed from Originium Arts to pierce the silk lining at the bottom of the cigar box.

When the lining was removed, the smuggled goods that were actually hidden inside the cigar box were exposed.

It was a bag of white powder, about the size of two palms.

It looks like flour, but it's clearly not flour at all.

"Tsk, didn't the news say that the Red Hands smuggled Originium weapons and human organs?"

Why did I run into this?

Or was that intelligence all just a smokescreen put up by the Red Hand, and they were actually smuggling this stuff?

Lin Yuxia's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The Red Hand Society has actually committed so many crimes; they are simply audacious!

They're completely disregarding the rules set by the Rat King!

She stuffed the bag of white powder into her pocket and was about to leave—

"There's even a double-crossing segment to watch?"

That's an exaggeration.

A sound came from the direction of the window.

Lin Yuxia turned her head to look.

The window had been opened at some point, and a young man with black hair was climbing in from outside!

This is the sixth floor!!!

Did this guy climb in from outside with his bare hands?

There are no access controls for this building, so why not use the elevator and stairs instead of climbing in?

Lin Yuxia suddenly felt that this guy seemed to be quite far from being human, but very close to being a god.

And... I have a feeling I've seen this guy somewhere before?

Lin Yuxia looked at Qin Tianling, who had climbed in through the window, and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

The guy who climbed in was naturally Qin Tianling.

As for why Chen Huijie didn't come?

She blocked the evacuation point downstairs.

Qin Tianling, who had just entered, glanced around before finally fixing his gaze on Lin Yuxia.

"Miss Lin Yuxia, could you please return what you have in your hand to me?"

I need to make sure all 20 are neatly arranged.

"What do you want this thing for?"

Lin Yuxia's eyes immediately became alert.

"I have to deliver all 20 of these copies to one person."

Qin Tianling glanced at the mission details and spoke honestly.

But his words took on a completely different meaning when they reached Lin Yuxia's ears.

It was delivered to a guy who was from a rival gang that came to hijack the shipment... or was it a backup plan by the Red Hand Society?

Regardless, since the other party dared to appear here like this, there's definitely no way he was alone.

There is absolutely no way I would hand over this evidence.

In other words, things are not right now, we have to run!

Lin Yuxia made a decision immediately, turned around and rushed out of the room.

Qin Tianling followed closely behind and saw Lin Yuxia rush into the stairwell.

Wow~ They actually went into the stairwell on their own?

That unrestrained and arrogant smile once again couldn't help but appear on Qin Tianling's lips.

.....

Lin Yuxia quickly went down the stairs, almost running down two steps at a time.

We need to hurry.

We need to hurry!

To facilitate his infiltration and investigation, he went alone.

If they catch up with you, that would be bad.

But... phew... but... phew... isn't this staircase a bit too long?

It's only the sixth floor.

Why do I feel like I've gone down 18 floors and still haven't reached the bottom?

wrong!

No, no, no!!!

On the landing of the stairs, Lin Yuxia suddenly stopped and looked around the stairs in surprise.

At this moment, Qin Tianling slowly walked down from above, stood on the platform, and looked down at Lin Yuxia below with the composure of a cat toying with a mouse.

"Huh? Not running away anymore? Or have you realized something's wrong?"

"Was this your doing?"
