The target of Er and Li Rui's night raid was a quartermaster in the army's logistics department.

Recently, a city defense team of 200 people had just replaced their standard weapons. The quartermaster forged the records of destruction and placed the 200 guns in a warehouse in the suburbs, intending to wait for an opportunity to sell them.

The transaction took place last night.

After much scouting, El easily showed up at the scene on time. He used his most skilled heart exchange technique to make the quartermaster and the black market leader fully understand each other.

But this alone is not enough. The two hundred guns still exist, and as long as these things exist, they will continue to cause disputes.

And El was not a stubborn person. He had no intention of destroying those things. He just took the weapons and used his abilities to sink into the ground.

Maybe it will be useful in the future, right?

The whole process was perfect. Li Rui was on guard nearby and did not even take the initiative to participate in the battle.

The only problem occurred at the final stage, when the men of both sides outside the warehouse eventually discovered something was wrong inside.

El, who had just dealt with the gun, began to retreat.

But passing through walls is a very challenging task for the activation of [Dimensional Displacement].

In the panic caused by the rain of bullets, the young man got stuck in the back door of the warehouse due to a mistake in operation, causing partial muscle tearing in his arm.

Although El quickly reactivated his ability and escaped from the battlefield, he knew that such an injury was not something he could handle.

Recalling the information he got from his second lucid dream two days ago, he forced himself to wait until daytime to come to Lin Qingliu's clinic to treat his wounds.

"It seems that the pain has not gone to your head. The inner city is different from the outer city. If you come here at night, you can basically catch one right away.

“After all, it’s hard to concentrate when you’re in that kind of pain, and the out-of-control of [Dimensional Shift] might increase significantly.

"If half of your body is stuck on the ground, you're truly dead."

Listening to Lin Qingliu's summary, El also realized that he had actually brushed shoulders with death.

"Your body's ability to recover is stronger than that of a normal person. A wound like this can be healed with a period of rest. The only problem is that it may leave a little scar."

El didn't care about the sequelae. Instead, he asked another question:

"Doctor, do you think my actions are good or bad for Hope City? Are my previous thoughts too naive?"

Lin Qingliu thought for a moment and replied:

"Well, in my opinion, it is indeed a bit childish, but the population base of Hope City itself is not particularly large, so your behavior does have a certain deterrent effect. In other words, the changes you have brought about may not be reflected directly, but the crime rate data should have a certain decline.

"Also, if you can't do other things for the time being, then there's nothing wrong with just doing this. After all, this can be considered as doing one good deed a day. Oh no, according to your frequency of action, it should be 'one good deed every half month'.

"But speaking of which, how long do you plan on using that guy named Luke?"

What Lin Qingliu is talking about here is that El plans to use Luke's investigation to help him eliminate some of his enemies.

“He’ll find out sooner or later, but before that, I think there should be three or four chances to escape.

"If I were him, I would be able to determine the Mind Flayer's modus operandi after about three times. After that, I would take the initiative to pay attention to those not-so-clean guys and set up surveillance around them in advance, so that I can catch them before the next attack."

"Well, this is indeed their style of doing things, and it seems that you also know that this cannot be done for a long time.

"Then I just happen to have a plan that can cooperate with you. After all... I have something I want to talk to Mr. Luke about."

El was delighted at first, but then he looked embarrassed and said:

"Captain Zhuang told me that Luke is already a third-level superpower, and he also has the power of the Holy Shield. I am definitely no match for him."

The boy’s meaning was very clear. I couldn’t beat him, so Dr. Lin, a newbie, would be even less able to beat him.

"It's okay, someone will help take care of it."

Lin Qingliu refers to the paperhanger.

El compared the abilities of the two in his mind and felt that they were at least 50-50, which made him feel more at ease.

"Okay, so how can I cooperate with you?"

"It's very simple. You and your subordinate should do what you are supposed to do. You need to come to me and inform me before each action. If I have everything prepared, I will cooperate with you.

"If the time is not ripe yet, just act normally."

"Okay, I understand."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Please ask your subordinate whose arm is about to fall off, if he still has the nutrient solution he used to maintain his arm?

"If there is any more, I will make him an offer he can't refuse."

Lin Qingliu smiled and signaled El not to think too much.

The time is ripe. Whether it is the network of believers or personal strength, Lin Qingliu no longer needs to go with the flow.

Thinking of how cautious he was when he first came into this world, Lin Qingliu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that things in the world are unpredictable.

At that time, I couldn't make any big moves. Whether it was finding suitable believers or accumulating initial capital, I could only leave it to fate.

And now, before he officially starts interfering in Hope City's decision-making, there is one more thing he needs to make clear to those councillors.

That is the Believers organization, and it is not so easy to investigate.

Inner city fringe, suburban warehouse.

It is called the suburbs, but it only refers to the prosperous areas in the inner city.

There are many factories and warehouses here, but the place becomes deserted at night.

At this time, Luke had already led his men here and began to investigate the crime scene of last night.

The two expressionless bodies were placed in special containers after a simple autopsy.

This will keep them from smelling bad in this late summer season.

Or just slow down.

After confirming the abnormalities in the heart area of the two people, the criminal "Mind Flayer" was easily identified.

Looking at the report submitted by his men, Luke's expression slowly darkened:

"There are more than 300 bullet holes and not a trace of blood. When did Hope City have so many blind gunmen?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Luke turned around and looked at his men who were ready to go:

"One team is going to capture the men of both parties who appeared here last night. It is possible that they have fought against the Mind Flayer.

"Team Two, go find the guns. I don't believe this is just a verbal deal. When did the black market in Hope City start to value integrity?"
