I'm in the Ark, a player.

"Don't worry."

Her feelings were very complicated.

Is this guy... really human?

No, perhaps that's not the problem.

Perhaps what she should ask is—what does this guy think of the world?

Is it a playground where people run wild?

Forget it, don't think about it too much.

Whatever's wrong with this guy's brain doesn't matter anymore.

Most importantly, he single-handedly helped the Guard Bureau eradicate this criminal gang that had been entrenched in the slums and operated on the fringes of the law!

The gang leader was killed, and almost all of the gang's top brass were wiped out, not to mention the gang members.

Even if the China Iron Association still exists in the future, it will only be a name in name only.

"What a huge mess..."

Swire sighed, her gaze sweeping over the ruins.

Broken bricks, shell craters, charred remains, and corpses lying scattered about.

Then, she seemed to catch a glimpse of something amiss out of the corner of her eye.

"Ok?"

Swire's gaze shifted to the corpse of Tie Yigu, the leader of the Ironclad Guild. The two pieces of his remains were still on the ground, the bloodstains still visible.

But the Iron Man armor he was wearing had disappeared at some point.

Where did his armor go?

Then she looked at Qin Tianling.

Because only two people were still standing there.

She couldn't possibly remove and hide such a large exoskeleton suit of armor in an instant, so there seems to be only one answer...

"What! It's really gone!"

"Damn it! Some damned thief must have stolen it when we weren't looking!"

Qin Tianling said indignantly,

Swire didn't speak, she just kept looking at him, both she and Qin Tianling knew exactly what was going on.

Why are you looking at me like that!

Do you think I stole it?

Oh, come on, look at me, do I look like a cunning person?

I think it was stolen by a bunny-eared girl with purple hair and a black baseball jacket!

"Uh... I see, you didn't steal it, someone else did."

After a moment's thought, Shi Huaiya ultimately chose to comply with Qin Tianling.

Because she didn't know what to do anymore, she even started to regret it a little.

What were those rules that Chen Huijie just mentioned?

Damn it... I should have just recorded it...

"Ok!"

Covered in blood, Qin Tianling patted Swire's shoulder with a sense of relief. His hand, still stained with blood, left a blurry red handprint on Swire's expensive coat.

"I knew you were a good NPC, Superintendent Swire!"

After saying that, Qin Tianling walked out without looking back.

As Swire watched Qin Tianling's departing figure, she realized something.

"The rain seems to have lessened... Won't Qin Tianling's return covered in blood scare other ordinary citizens?"

Tingyuxuan Teahouse

Rainwater dripped down the green-tiled eaves, gathering into a broken, beaded curtain beneath.

Inside the private room in the attic, the two sat facing each other.

A set of celadon tea utensils sat on the rosewood tea table, steam still rising from the teapot's spout. The aroma of tea, mingled with the damp air after the rain, slowly filled the room.

The two people drinking together were not unknown.

One of them was Wei Yanwu, the governor of Yan State, and the other was Lin Gerui, the Rat King, a figurehead in the underworld.

"The rain has stopped..."

Wei Yanwu gazed at the gradually thinning rain outside the window, picked up his teacup, and gently twirled the celadon between his fingers.

He drank the last sip of tea in his cup in one gulp. The tea was slightly cool, but the aftertaste lingered on his tongue for a long time.

Wei Yanwu put down his teacup and stood up.

"Then I should go too."

"Young Master, won't you stay a little longer?"

Lin Gerui raised his head and asked,

"No, I have some things to take care of."

"It's a rare opportunity to get together, yet you're leaving so early."

It seems this matter is indeed very important.

Lin Gerui's lips curled up slightly as he said, in a teasing tone,

"—Could it be that your wife is urging you to buy groceries and go home?"

Wei Yanwu froze.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"Ahem, Lord Wei is the dignified Governor-General of Longmen; surely he is not the kind of man who would be controlled by a woman."

He must be too protective of his wife and doesn't want her to deal with such trivial matters.

"That's natural."

Wei Yanwu's movements returned to normal. He reached for his coat draped over the back of the chair, put it on his shoulders, and nodded.

"By the way, have you noticed that person who's been popping up lately?"

Lin Gerui's voice rang out again.

"It has no origin and no clues can be found."

Lin Gerui picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his gaze fell on Wei Yanwu, past the rim of the cup.

"It's as if he appeared out of thin air."

“Of course I know—he had contact with Xiao Chen.”

Upon hearing the Rat King's words, Wei Yanwu naturally knew who he was referring to.

Having had contact with Xiao Chen, whose origins were unclear, Wei Yanwu naturally sent people to investigate.

"He is very strong, but also very uncontrollable, like a double-edged sword; it depends on how the person using him uses him."

How to use people effectively—that's something Xiao Chen needs to learn on her own.

"Isn't Xiao Chen already the head of the Special Inspection Team of the Guard Bureau?"

“He’s different from the people in the Guard Bureau.”

Wei Yanwu shook his head.

Even the most unruly members of the Royal Guard are bound by discipline.

This person is too capricious.

"What if Xiao Chen doesn't use it well?"

Lin Gerui continued to ask.

"I will do everything I can to protect her."

Wei Yanwu turned around and walked towards the door.

"In Longmen today, there is no problem that I, Wei Yanwu, cannot solve."

Just as Wei Yanwu was about to leave, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and the call connected; his expression suddenly changed!

"—What do you mean by 'about a hundred people just died!'"

Chapter 60, There really is a serial killer!

Penguin Logistics' dormitory

The rain had stopped halfway back from Qintianling.

A crack appeared in the clouds, and the sparse sunlight of dusk pierced through the gap, illuminating the wet asphalt road.

But the rain did not completely wash away the bloodstains on his body.

"Um?

Why are you standing outside, Mostima?

When Qin Tianling returned, he was somewhat surprised to see Mostima standing outside the courtyard.

From afar, he saw Mostima standing outside the courtyard.

The blue-haired fallen angel leaned against the courtyard wall as if waiting for someone.

"I'm waiting for you."

Mostima's gaze began on his face and slowly moved downwards, taking in his entire body.

"You look really scary, like you just went out and killed dozens of people and came back."

"Is there?"

"It really looks like him, and it also looks like that kind of psychopathic killer who takes pleasure in the lives of others."

Mostima nodded, trying her best to describe how she felt.

Especially the strong smell of blood on him.

"I think it's alright,"

Qin Tianling scratched his head.

His hair was covered in blood, and his palms were covered in blood.

But Qin Tianling really felt fine.

"That's alright then."

Mostima sighed helplessly.

She turned her head, her gaze passing over the courtyard wall and landing on the buildings inside.

"Your three senior colleagues are in the dorm right now; they just came back from a business trip."
