For El, whose day and night are reversed, six o'clock in the evening is six o'clock in the morning for most people.
He washed up as usual, enjoyed his not-so-delicious "breakfast", then returned to his small room as usual, took out a communicator and took a look.
The sight that was originally just a habitual glance froze in an instant, and the constantly flashing green light indicated that new information was coming from the outside world.
El locked the door and turned on the communicator, and sure enough, he saw Zhuang Mian's message.
After reading it carefully twice, he shredded and deleted the message permanently, then recalled its contents.
Try to avoid inner city action?
Has the “master” been arrested?
The new Aegis plans to investigate the "Mind Flayer"?
He is tracking down the [believers]?
He actually found a clue...but he doesn't know if it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
According to Zhuang Mian, the Holy Shield should be investigating his information now, right?
When he thought that the case files related to the Mind Flayer were written by Zhuang Mian himself, El felt relieved.
This feeling mainly stems from two aspects:
First of all, the two belonged to the same organization. After confirming this, Zhuang Mian temporarily sealed the cases related to the Mind Flayer before being transferred. Now, except for the men led by the Holy Shield, no one cares about this wanted criminal.
The criminals in Hope City seem to grow out of the soil, and they are endless.
The wanted poster for the Mind Flayer that was so popular a few months ago has now been stuck under layers of waste paper on the notice board.
Another reason is that El and Zhuang Mian had a secret agreement to cooperate with each other. When Zhuang Mian needed intelligence and military support from the outer city, he could get El's help. Similarly, the other party would also give him some necessary warnings, just like today.
The most important point is that after both parties confirmed their identities, Zhuang Mian did not change the profile of the Mind Flayer in the file, but consciously merged it with the "Bull Leg Killer" and recorded the collective destruction of the Brotherhood study group under the name of the Mind Flayer.
In this way, in the eyes of the Holy Shield, El is now a——
A tall, strong, taciturn carnivore who loves to share his heart and soul.
It's completely different from El!
After careful thought, El suddenly combined the current seemingly dangerous situation with his new ideas.
One person, no, two people, are not capable of fighting crime in downtown.
Although Ashes' actions can temporarily bring peace to an area, this stability is not permanent.
When the wind passes and the ashes disappear, everything will slowly return to normal, just like the weeds that can never be burned.
El doesn't want to expand the membership of Ashes for the time being, so he needs a better way to make his actions more efficient.
And now, the pursuit of the Holy Shield seems to be a good choice.
El's definition of officials is any institution that can legally use violence.
So when the authorities are tracking down the criminals, if they encounter other illegal acts, will they crack down on these crimes?
The answer is yes.
In other words…
In the dark room, El slowly began to laugh.
How can this be called a holy shield? This is clearly a double-edged sword.
The only problem is, try to avoid cutting yourself.
Thinking of this, El packed up his things, opened the door, and saw Li Rui waiting respectfully at the entrance of the stronghold.
"Hey, Brother Dao, you've been waiting for a long time, right?"
He greeted warmly, but to Li Rui it sounded like the growl of a wild beast.
Ever since El entered the second energy level, the existence of [Dimensional Shift] has made it impossible for Li Rui to directly harm El anymore.
Apart from launching a sneak attack while the opponent was asleep, he could not think of any effective means of attack.
After that battle against the infected, his boss seemed to have absorbed some kind of energy from it and became rapidly and strangely stronger.
At this time, El's control over [Dimensional Displacement] was not very proficient.
He didn't have the same understanding of his own abilities as Lin Qingliu did. In addition, without the blessing of the [Flesh and Blood] ability, the performance of [Dimensional Displacement] in El's hands was not so invincible.
Not only did he have to be careful when he got stuck on the ground, in a wall, or in a door, he also had to be aware of his oxygen reserves when he drifted into solid matter.
It can be said that although the upper limit of this ability is extremely high, when using it, it is like dancing on the edge of a knife...
Looking at Li Rui's increasingly serious expression, El smiled and took out a somewhat tattered piece of paper from behind and handed it to him.
Li Rui took the yellowed wanted poster, looked at the description on it, and trembled as he read out the wanted criminal:
"Hang...Hang the inner demon?"
“…”
Sometimes, El really wanted to report his semi-illiterate teammates...
After briefly correcting the other party's pronunciation, Li Rui asked:
"Boss, is this you? Your reward is a full 150,000 information coins, which is really amazing."
He didn't know whether this was really amazing or not, but his long experience as a lackey had taught him the art of flattery.
"It's me, but I have a good idea."
"Boss, please speak."
“From now on, this is you.
"You are the Mind Flayer, and the Mind Flayer is Li Rui.
"Don't panic. This isn't your first time as a stand-in. Practice makes perfect."
Seeing that Li Rui was still hesitant, Ai'er put his arm around Li Rui's shoulders, ignoring the fact that he was half a head shorter than him.
"You're not going to turn me down, are you?"
Li Rui's thoughts are running at high speed.
If you don’t agree to the other party, the result will be simple: death.
With my current self, it would be difficult for me to cause any harm to El even if I died.
If I agree to the other party, although it is not the first time I have acted like this, things don't seem to be that simple this time.
One is to die now, the other is to die later...
After a brief thought, new ideas flooded into Li Rui's mind, and his high adaptability began to play a role -
He started to PUA himself!
In an instant, as if to excuse his future behavior, Li Rui recalled many details of the past period of time.
Including but not limited to Boss El cleaning up the mess and allowing himself to enter the casino vault to plunder.
Use inexplicable super powers to help yourself block enemy sneak attacks in fierce battles.
Grant yourself time off when you are seriously injured, and...
When the infected people in the city swept the streets and alleys, he led himself out of the siege.
Ashes also managed their own expenses. El never checked the accounts, although with his education level, he would never have such a thing as an account book...
Boss, he is a pretty good person...
Having convinced himself, Li Rui showed a familiar smile on his face:
"It's my honor to be the boss's stand-in!"
