Chapter 68: The Sixty-Eighth Chapter - Argument in the Comments (Comic Plot)...
Yan Shi lay back down on the sofa with a clear conscience, ordered himself a takeout, and continued flipping through comics.
After Yu Junxun and Lin Cai returned to the hall, they waited for a while before Gui Gemu came downstairs, his face tense.
"Rest at the Will Hub for one night, then depart from the Cloud Journey Tower tomorrow," Gui Gemu said coldly, before asking Yu Junxun, "Where is Shu Zhijing?"
Yu Junxun downplayed the issue, saying, "She just saw an acquaintance and went to ask if she could apply for an airship."
Gui Gemu looked at him and sneered, "It had to be that way."
Is Yu Junxun covering for Shu Zhijing? They seem to have a good personal relationship.
Why isn't Lin Cai saying anything? She looks like a wilted little dog now.
[It's because there's no file for Yanlan in the archives, which directly confirms that Yanlan ended up in the Otherworld after separating from her, and even became an unregistered resident.]
My wife is so pitiful, sob sob sob.
[But I think this is what makes Yanlan who she is—powerful, mysterious, free-spirited, and so on. This kind of character is so appealing, isn't it? You're not Yanlan, how do you know she doesn't like this kind of life?]
But of course, if you like someone, you'll feel sorry for their past and hope they're safe and happy.
[If Yanlan didn't have this past, who knows if you would still like her! Stop lamenting, I like Yanlan just the way she is.]
The comments section erupted into a heated argument.
Yan Shi was stunned.
No, these are all fabricated stories from the past, what's the point of arguing about them in the comments?
She didn't understand.
The following pages describe Lin Cai and her group's experience of taking a temporary rest at a hotel near the Yuntu Airport Tower.
The book provides many realistic scenes of the Vil hub along the way, including bustling merchants and various creatures from different regions with different appearances and personalities, making them vivid, clever, and lifelike.
The comments section, however, was not filled with praise. Instead, they were arguing about Yanlan's past. But when Guige Mu and Duan Yunchen had a video call, the comments fell silent when Duan Yunchen showed them the surveillance footage of Yanlan's smug smile.
"I'm an employee, I forgot my things." Yanlan raised an eyebrow at the security camera at the door.
Then he swiped an employee card that all readers would recognize on the panel at the door.
"Facial recognition successful, permission query matched successfully, welcome to the Weier Hub Branch."
"Director."
To be honest, I can't see any pitiful side in Yanlan at all; she's a demon king, okay?
But this doesn't erase my wife's tragic past. I love her freedom, and I also cherish everything about her.
[This credit card swiping thing looks familiar. It's like a scene from a movie, hahaha.]
[This is hilarious! Yanlan has stolen Director Yan's card again to impersonate Director Yan.]
[Yanju: Having a sister like you is my greatest fortune :)]
After entering the Weir Hub, Yanlan first looked up at the chandelier above for a while, a half-smile on her face, seemingly lost in thought.
Then, very familiarly, he went straight up to the second floor.
Among those watching the surveillance footage, Duan Yunchen was making a loud bang.
"She wants to do something to my beautiful headlights!"
Lin Cai, standing nearby, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Duan Yunchen: "I'll send people over to catch this thief right now! He's too arrogant. Does he even respect our Bureau of Extraordinary Management?"
Lin Cai immediately stopped her, saying, "No! There's no need to send anyone. This is Director Yan's sister."
[Yanlan: It's my sister's branch office. What's wrong with me just casually coming in to take a look?]
Lin Cai: Completely worried about Yan Lan;
Yu Junxun: Watching the excitement intently;
Returning to the pavilion: Completely worried about Sheng Chunqiu;
Shu Zhijing: The only one on the field who is out of state;
Duan Yunchen: [Makes a sharp, explosive sound; don't stare at my chandelier!!!]
[Lin Cai is deciding whether or not to reveal Yan Lan's identity based on the situation, hahaha]
Yan Shi slowly looked at the comic book, in which she was wandering around the branch of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, which should have been closed for the day.
Thinking about how she had taken contraband in front of so many people, and now even more people, she closed her eyes in anguish.
The toes began to grip the ground.
Now it's her turn to scream.
She assumed that since the branch office was closed, no one would be watching the surveillance footage anymore. Little did she know that Duan Yunchen, who usually slacked off at work, was actually still watching the footage at this hour!
Duan Yunchen, what's with him being serious where he shouldn't be?!
Just as she expected, the comic provided detailed panels, including Yanlan picking and choosing on the shelf and finally taking a few magic liquid bombs before leaving the Bureau of Alien Affairs branch satisfied.
Lin Cai was still trying to defend Yan Lan: "This is my neighbor, Yan Lan is a very nice person!"
Lin Cai, you're completely impervious to reason!
Yes, although Yanlan broke into prison, took valuable auction items from under the noses of a host of complex forces, and is now brazenly taking contraband from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, Yanlan is a good person.
I support Lin Cai. My wife is a good person. What did she do wrong? She probably just thought the contraband looked nice.
In the comic, Guige asks, "What is she holding?"
Duan Yunchen: "Magic Liquid Bomb".
[A beautiful bomb...? Ladies in front, don't spoil it too much!]
Which innocent street is Yanlan going to target?
[To be honest, the arrangement of the Curse of Laws is really interesting. Yanlan's behavior can no longer be considered unruly. I'm quite curious about Director Yan's attitude towards this matter.]
[The previous prison break, where Director Yan covered for his sister, could be considered as not having caused serious consequences. But now, he's using Director Yan's name to retrieve contraband, so it can't be considered as not having caused serious consequences, right?]
Why are we standing on moral high ground again to condemn Yanlan? Please, your Director Yan is the lucky one who was chosen, while Yanlan is the one who was abandoned.
Don't dismiss my wife's suffering.
The comments section erupted into another argument.
Yan Shi: ...
Both are her, and what's there to argue about? Why are they so incompatible?
Shu Zhijing had already keenly sensed something was wrong from Yan Lan's identity. "Last time you escaped from prison, it was Yan Lan who abducted you, wasn't it?"
Lin Cai was still trying to bluff: "Tiger Cub's ability is spatial teleportation."
The comments section was buzzing with excitement, while a small group of people were just watching the spectacle.
Lin Cai is truly a wonderful friend. As the protagonist of a shonen manga, she's lively, enthusiastic, quick-witted, and incredibly loyal. Who wouldn't love a little sunshine like her!
I also want to say that Lin Cai is the protagonist of "The Curse of the Laws," so why does it seem like Lin Cai is just an appendage of Yan Lan?
[That's just how it is with the protagonists of our shonen manga who grow and develop. They can't even beat a popular supporting character in the early stages; I'm already looking forward to the scene where Lin Cai enters school.]
[No matter what, the old thief still gave Lin Cai all the buffs of a shonen manga protagonist. Go Lin Aotian!]
After a few more pages of storyboards, the lucky street chosen by Yanlan has been revealed, and the building at the intersection of C5 Street collapses with a roar.
Dust and smoke billowed from the scene.
I have a feeling that Yanlan did it on purpose.
[The choice to bomb the black market, of all places, was brilliant.]
[The sisters who have been arguing and spreading rumors that Yanlan and Director Yan are not close can stop now. Yanlan is clearly doing things that Director Yan shouldn't be doing because of his position.]
After Yanlan disappeared into the alley, Libertas, who was behind her, stopped and, after talking with Shu Zhijing and the others and telling Shadow not to worry, entered the black market.
Yan Shi flipped through these pages and saw the series of things Libertas did after she left. Although somewhat unexpected, she could understand them.
After all, he is the only heir of the Duke of Lorenz, the one who has been learning from him since childhood. How could he really be a good-for-nothing?
Coincidentally, a message popped up on her phone; Libertas had sent her a message.
[Libertas: Yanlan, I apologize for hiding some things from you before. To express my apology, you're Director Yan's sister, right? Perhaps you'd like to know something about the branch offices of the Bureau of Dissidents in our Kesei territory?]
[Collection of Materials from Branch Offices of the Kosei Territory Administrative Bureau.zip]
Yan Shi: ?
That's really interesting.
She could almost see a whole bunch of jobs rushing toward her from the shopfront.
Could it be that, apart from Duan Yunchen's Will Hub Branch, every other branch of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs has problems?
Everything went black before my eyes, and my hands trembled.
In the comic, the story has progressed to the point of the final chapter. Yan Lan stands at the railing of the auction house and casually throws the bomb at the supporting pillar.
The scene was chaotic, just like Yan Shi's terrible mood at that moment.
I really want to find somewhere to relieve the stress of work.
Yan Shi switched screens and opened the list of all the branch offices of the different management bureaus, seemingly lost in thought.
