In the loft apartment, the light from the television flickered in Yang Qinglan's focused gaze as she gathered intelligence.

In the news, the old town square was cordoned off, and there were traces of blood on the stone pavement.

On a street in Prague's fourth district, a penguin died in its last step as it ran out of the alley.

The screen then changes to a battle between the statue of Saint Charles on Charles Bridge and the giant thorny tortoise, a scene comparable to a Hollywood monster movie.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at the apartment door, where a vortex appeared, and colors surged out.

Aferona was drenched in sweat, her red hair clung to her cheeks, and her green eyes were filled with panic on her charming and beautiful face.

Yang Qinglan rested her chin on her hand, sized up Aferona for a moment, then turned to Li Changzhou and asked, "Are you really planning to embark on a criminal path of imprisoning women?"

“Yes, I want to imprison you, is that alright?” Li Changzhou asked.

"What's going on?" Yang Qinglan gestured to the red-haired, blue-eyed Italian woman.

“Players are too dangerous.” Li Changzhou sat down on a stool at the dining table—there was no sofa. “I was driving peacefully, singing a song, and suddenly I was kidnapped by players!”

“You kidnapped me!” Aferona argued.

Li Changzhou waved his hand dismissively.

He has no interest in people who haven't seen "Let the Bullets Fly".

"Why not kill her? What's the point of bringing her back?" Yang Qinglan said.

Aferona looked at Li Changzhou in horror.

"Here." Li Changzhou handed over Aferona's identity card. "She said that handing over the identity card is equivalent to surrender, and destroying the identity card will result in the player's death."

“I’m willing, I’m willing to submit, I’ll do anything you ask!” Aferona said hastily.

She never expected that after finally escaping from the clutches of the Crocodile God, she would run into another player just by randomly flagging down a car on the street.

Yang Qinglan accepted the white identity card.

......

Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou, her gaze thoughtful.

“I wasn’t affected by her aphrodisiac.” Li Changzhou knew what she was thinking.

"It's not up to you." Yang Qinglan didn't look away.

"Doesn't count? How...how am I supposed to prove that?"

"Kill her?"

The apartment was silent for two seconds. Li Changzhou scratched his temple and asked, "Is it not okay?"

“Okay.” Yang Qinglan returned the ID card to Li Changzhou.

Under Li Changzhou's surprised gaze, she walked to the bedside, sat down, crossed her legs, and asked him, "What are your plans?"

"More people means more strength and more safety. You saw it this time too, there are many abnormally powerful players. Although we have thought of some countermeasures, it is always good to be safer."

"Well, but there's one condition for all of this—"

“She’s telling the truth,” Li Changzhou said, looking at Aferona. “Destroying the identity card will kill the player.”

"Provided that you haven't been aroused by her aphrodisiac."

"...I thought we'd have better chemistry. I'm already under your spell, how can I be under someone else's spell?"

Yang Qinglan didn't reply, but said, "Take her points and lock her up somewhere else first."

“Okay.” Li Changzhou stood up. “Then I won’t be coming back later. I’ll continue my road trip.”

"I'll be with you."

"...I really wasn't aroused."

"Nobody cares whether you've been aroused or not." Yang Qinglan turned off the TV.

So you're worried about his safety? Are you concerned he might encounter other players again?

Li Changzhou suddenly worried about his younger sister who was on a mission outside. However, she was now an owl, soaring high and high, and with a wolf howl, she had a speed of 10, so she should be fine—otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed her to go out.

After taking the mafia mistress to an abandoned warehouse that Li Qianxia had discovered the night before, the two returned to the place where Li Changzhou had parked his sports car.

"Where to?" Li Changzhou got into the driver's seat.

"Kafka's birthplace." Yang Qinglan closed the passenger door and pulled on her seatbelt.

“Cars can’t drive in there.” Li Changzhou handed her a pair of sunglasses.

Yang Qinglan looked at the sunglasses with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she had to wear them.

"Pretty cool." Li Changzhou put on his sunglasses, shifted gears, and stepped on the gas.

Yang Qinglan also put on sunglasses, covering most of her small face, revealing only her delicate, fair nose and pink lips.

Kafka's birthplace is located on Golden Street, a famous street in Prague's Castle District. An entrance fee is required for the castle.

Li Changzhou went to queue up.

"How much?" Yang Qinglan asked as she took the ticket after entering the castle.

"240 crowns for 4 attractions, how much?" Li Changzhou asked back.

Yang Qinglan thought for a moment: "72...72.225 Great Xia coins."

The first attraction is St. Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic building with a very high dome, and it is built in a grand and luxurious style.
