Their commission was suspicious.

This represents a special meaning.
Therefore, this task will not be easily and casually issued to other people.
However, she also has a wish to find Mostima, and a wish related to her sister...
But as I said before, you need to increase your affinity level to unlock it.
Although it's at a lower level than the wish to unlock 8 guns, it's still not something Chen Luo can obtain at this stage.
The only wish Chen Luo can receive right now is to help Exusiai turn off the fluorescent light tube on her head.
While Exusiai certainly wouldn't want her halo to malfunction—even the most optimistic Exusiai wouldn't joke about her halo—occasionally, when blinded by its brilliance, she did desperately consider turning off the fluorescent light tube, regardless of its importance...
It's like when you're playing a game and you're so frustrated that you think about punching your computer to pieces.
You can't deny that the idea of smashing the computer wasn't yours at the time.
But because computers are too expensive, I can't bear to spend the money.
But Chen Luo can help you!
Whether you want to smash your computer or not, Chen Luo has already received the commission the moment you have the idea.
“Destiny has been made, and I accept your wish.” Chen Luo waved his hand, and the three halos of different colors in his hand all disappeared.
Exusiai's specific wish is not to be disturbed by fluorescent lights and disappear... that is also a solution.
"Wow, it actually works! But can you turn it back?"
"Of course you can." Chen Luo blew on it, and the three halos in his hand returned.
However, the mission is not yet complete, because Chen Luo really needs to help Exusiai fulfill her wish outside to truly complete the commission; right now, he's just fooling a child.
"Then try disappearing again."
“I’m the River God, not a Genie. Please respect my profession, okay? I can’t play anymore. I have other things to do soon, so I’ll ask that question again: which of these three halos is yours?” Chen Luo asked.
"Yes, they are!" Exusiai cheered once again, raising her hand.
"Hmm... I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it. It seems I'll have to give you a little punishment. I'll take away your halo." Chen Luo sighed and put away the three halos.
"Ugh?"
"Hmm? Why are you surprised? Disobedient children naturally need some form of punishment, don't they? Didn't your parents tell you that if you misbehave, the Angel Killer will come into your dreams and steal your halo?"
"I've heard of you, but are you really an angel killer? Why do you seem so approachable?"
"Whether someone is friendly or not and whether they are an angel killer are two different things." Chen Luo shook his head.
"So, does that mean I'm being naughty? I went to bed on time, you know," Exusiai asked again.
"But lying is also a form of misbehavior, and bad kids have to be punished. Goodbye." After finishing the last piece of apple pie, Chen Luo walked back to the center of the river and slowly sank down.
"Hey, don't go, Angel Killer, give me back my halo!" Even an optimistic Exia would get anxious if she lost her halo in her dream.
The reason we weren't in a hurry earlier was because the halo was only in Chen Luo's hands, but now the halo is about to be taken away.
"I'll be back tomorrow. I hope you won't disappoint me then." After waving goodbye to Exusiai one last time, Chen Luo disappeared completely.
"How could he run so fast? And how did he disappear from the river? I've been waiting here. Will he surface on his own after he finishes holding his breath?" Exusiai ran to the riverbank and pondered the clear but bottomless stream.
Perhaps because it was still a dream, this nightmare news for Exusiai wasn't enough to frighten the relatively optimistic Exusiai to the point of being restless.
"Beep beep!"
"Wow!!!" The noise from the outside world suddenly woke up Exusiai from her sleep, as did almost half of the people on Rhodes Island.
The reason why Exusiai and the others go to bed so early is simply because they are tired during the day, and the number of people who go to bed early is relatively small.
Many more people on Rhode Island are still staying up all night.
Who in their right mind would go to bed before 10 pm?
"Wow, why is there a broadcast on Rhodes Island all of a sudden? Can't a person get any sleep?" Since it wasn't an alarm but just a broadcast, Exusiai didn't immediately get out of bed and pull out her gun.
At the same time, she was recalling the bizarre dream she had just had.
Thankfully, thankfully it was just a dream, and my halo is still there...
"Attention all Rhodes Island operators! Attention all Rhodes Island operators! Rhodes Island's escaped Doctor, the battlefield commander Chen Luo who always thinks he's a medic, has returned to Rhodes Island at 9 PM tonight. His current whereabouts are unknown. If you have any information..." Kal'tsit's voice rang out over the loudspeaker.
"Ugh, Kal'tsit, step aside. You've been spouting a lot of nonsense. Ahem, this is Warfarin. In short, whoever can capture Chen Luo and bring him to Kal'tsit's office will be richly rewarded!" Warfarin snatched the microphone, sounding extremely angry.
"...It should be noted that, possibly due to some special Originium Arts, the Doctor can now change his hair color to white, and he also has a pair of moving white ears, which are suspected to be characteristics of the Feline race. So please check carefully." Kal'tsit's voice rang out again, and in the background, it seemed as if someone's scream could be heard.
"A hefty reward? Should we go and catch one? We can exchange them for a lot of money!" Croissant took off her blindfold with some surprise.
But Croissant was stunned after the blindfold was removed.
"Exusiai, where is your aura?" Texas's usually composed voice now contained a hint of surprise, as if she had witnessed something bizarre.
In fact, Texas was already quite surprised when she didn't feel the dazzling light tube on Exusiai's head before Rei turned on the light after taking off the blindfold.
Although the light bulb is some distance from the head, and could easily be covered with a light shield, this would cause the Sarkaz to feel dizzy, so generally no one would do that. Therefore, living with Exusiai used to mean enduring the discomfort of sleeping with the lights on at night.
Now, seeing the halo above Exusiai's head disappear as she sat up, Texas was even more shocked.
"My halo..." Exusiai touched her head haphazardly, but she couldn't feel the halo that used to feel somewhat cold.
"Don't panic, there seems to be a note next to you," Texas said, getting out of bed, turning on the light, and walking to the bedside.
[Miss Remuel, due to your dishonesty, your halo will have to temporarily leave you. I will come again tomorrow, and I hope you will be honest then. —Angel Killer]
Below the signature of Angel Killer, there is a special mark.
“…Wah!” Exusiai stared blankly at the note in her hand, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, she burst into tears.
"My halo!"
[Ding! Mission complete]
Chapter 1186 The Unlucky Angel Who Couldn't Be Put Back After Reclaiming His Halo
"Alright, alright, Exusiai, stop crying. Crying won't solve anything," Texas sighed.
Honestly, things that could make Exusiai cry were unimaginable to Texas in the past.
Texas knows all too well just how optimistic and cheerful Exusiai is.
Although Exusiai is a very easygoing person and it's difficult to become a true friend with her, at least she's optimistic.
But now Exusiai has even lost her optimism.
Texas, however, expressed her understanding. After all, Texas was not very knowledgeable and had never heard of an angel's halo being stolen.
Well, for angels, the most important things are their halo and the wings of light behind them. As for the rest... even if the Guardian Gun is lost, it's not something that would make an Archangel cry.
The angelic halo is the only distinguishing feature of a Sarkazan, because while guns are rare outside of Laterano, they do exist.
However, the Angel Ring is indeed only possessed by the Sarkaz.
"Angel Killer! Who would have thought that this scary line we've heard since childhood would actually be true!" Exusiai was dumbfounded.
"Angel Killer?"
“Yes, Angel Killer.” Exusiai nodded.
Exusiai has now recovered.
After bursting into tears, Exusiai quickly adapted to the fact.
The note next to her reminded Exusiai that the angel killer would come again tomorrow, and perhaps she would have another chance to reclaim her halo.
"Angel Killer? What's that?" Croissant, standing next to him, couldn't help but ask.
"Angel Killer is a mythical figure in the country of Laterano. When parents find their children too annoying, not sleeping at night and not waking up during the day, they will coax them by saying: 'If you don't go to sleep, *** will come and grab you and eat you.' Every country has this kind of coaxing for children, right?"
"Indeed, so that Angel Killer is the terrifying demon king in the eyes of the children of Laterano?"
People usually refer to this kind of object as a childhood trauma.
The fact that it can stop a child from crying shows just how terrifying this angel killer truly is.
Similar sentiments exist in the country where Texas is located.
"That's right. Legend has it that in the distant past..."
"Stop, let's not talk about these strange rumors anymore. Just tell me what this Angel Killer is capable of doing?"
"Well, the rumor is that when a child misbehaves, the Angel Killer sneaks into his dream and steals his angelic aura."
"Like you are now?"
“Just like I am now.” Exusiai pouted.
"So why? Logically speaking, Angel Killers shouldn't exist, right?"
"No, Angel Killer really exists!" Exusiai suddenly showed a different side, stating quite firmly that Angel Killer really does exist.
"Because this is something written in the ancient texts. Angel Killers really exist," Exusiai emphasized.
As a religious nation, every Sarkazan is devout enough. Although Exusiai is usually carefree, piety is indeed one of his characteristics.
“Okay, okay, even if the Angel Killer really exists, why would the Angel Killer take away your angel halo? This isn’t Laterano. Even if the Angel Killer is active, it should be active in the Laterano region. And we don’t seem to have encountered anything strange today, have we?” Texas analyzed calmly.
Now Texas really can't afford to disbelieve the existence of Angel Killer, because she has never heard of an angel's halo being removed.
Because he had a Sarkaz companion, Texas knew about the special features of the aura.
Let alone stealing the halo, even putting a hat on the halo would make Exusiai dizzy.
This is really outrageous.
"Exusiai, didn't you say that this Angel Killer would infiltrate the angels' dreams and then steal their Angel Rings? Well, here's my question: were you dreaming just now?"
"Yes." Exusiai thought for a moment and then nodded.
"What dream?"
"Uh... I don't remember. Hmm, I just remember there were lots of apple pies, and something about a river god. Anyway, the last sentence was that the Angel Killer was going to take away my halo." Exusiai struggled to recall the events of her dream.
However, the reason a dream becomes a dream is because if you don't pay attention to it and try to recall it the moment you wake up, you'll forget it completely in a few minutes. This is also the case with Exusiai now.
Exusiai was filled with regret, deep regret for how unlucky she was to have encountered the Angel Killer.
And what did I say to the Angel Killer in my dream that made him decide to take away my halo?
"River God, what does this have to do with Angel Killer?"
Texas was getting a little dizzy from all these bizarre clues.
"I don't know. No wonder no one has been able to explain why their aura was taken by the Angel Killer... But the good news is that, generally speaking, people whose aura is taken by the Angel Killer will have it returned the next day. But there are also cases where it is never returned."
Exusiai began to get nervous.
"But Angel Killer hasn't really appeared in a long time, has it?"
"It's also possible that those whose halos were taken are quietly waiting for the next day to see if they can reclaim their angelic halo themselves, without spreading the news widely. After all, according to you, having your halo taken by an angel killer seems like an ominous sign," Croissant interjected.
"That's certainly possible. Because I always felt that Angel Killer didn't take my halo for no reason. I think I did do something wrong in the dream, but what exactly did I do?" Exusiai still couldn't recall what happened in the dream.
"That damned angel killer! I better not see her, or I'll definitely give her a good beating!" Croissant said menacingly from the side.
Seeing his friend so heartbroken because his glory had faded, Croissant, as his friend, naturally had to do something about it.
"Shh." But Exusiai seemed startled by Croissant and made a shushing gesture.
"I've heard that after stealing an angel's halo, the Angel Killer will linger in the same spot for a while, observing the angel's every move like a ghost. So after losing their halo, all angels should do... apologize."
"I'm sorry, Angel Killer, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Give me back my halo?" Exusiai clasped her hands together in a prayerful gesture and made her apology.
Although Exusiai doesn't know what she did wrong in the dream, she should just apologize first.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Will this really work? Can that rambling angel assassin hear me?" Croissant muttered to herself.
"Exusiai, how about going out to clear your head? You're a bit tired from the day, but you probably won't be able to sleep like this." Texas suggested, looking at Exusiai who was sitting on the bed in a daze after apologizing.
"Yeah, yeah, we can go find that escaped doctor from Rhodes Island. Even though we've lost our right to sleep, if we catch that doctor, we might be able to make a fortune."
Croissant does believe that friends are more important than money, since life is meant to be enjoyed, not enslaved by money, but maybe going out for a walk will cheer Exusiai up.
