Chapter 156 Seize the opportunity and don’t wait until you are old to regret it
January 21, noon, Seoul.
After defeating the Seoul dungeon boss at lightning speed, Anson Deer said something to Lorenzo and left Seoul with the people from Hell Lighthouse.
Before coming to Seoul, Anson Lu and Lorenzo reached a consensus - Anson Lu came here to deal with the Boss, and by the way, bring his weird family to show off in front of the whole world to stabilize the people's hearts.
At this time, everyone in the Hell Lighthouse had already retired, and the remaining colonial monsters in Seoul would naturally have to be dealt with by the law enforcement team.
Putting it this way, it also has a bit of the meaning of leaving behind to sweep the floor.
Avril turned off the live broadcast and put away her phone.
She was still in shock, staring at the bloody and blasted drummer in a daze.
Two minutes ago, its head was cut off by the captain of the dragon boat.
Blood, flowing like the Yangtze River, gushed out from the porcupine's broken neck, then violently rushed to the ground, dyeing the street scarlet.
Looking to the right, there is a collapsed high-rise building.
This was the scene created by Whiplash with just one skill, which brought down a skyscraper. If the people from Hell Lighthouse had not come to support him, this boss battle would not necessarily have been so easy.
"So strong..." Avril whispered.
Gu Qiu pulled up the collar of his sweater and said calmly, "I thought you would have an estimate of their strength in your mind."
Vino, whose class was 'Ember Circus', walked over and said with emotion: "After all, it was the team that won against the Law Enforcement Team in the dungeon. It was really surprising."
"I still don't believe that they really beat you in the copy?" Avril looked at Gu Qiu.
Gu Qiu was silent for two seconds and did not directly answer the question: "I want to know, who spread the news that the law enforcement team lost to them in the confrontational dungeon?"
At this time, Vino and Avril both shifted their gaze and looked at Cosimo in the distance.
Gu Qiu opened his mouth and sighed silently.
Cosimo's mouth was indeed very unreliable.
Normally speaking, if the law enforcement team received any confidential mission or confidential intelligence, Cosimo would definitely be the last one to know about it, without exception.
Normally, people are very tolerant of him, mainly because he is just a little kid. If Cosimo didn't have this highly developmental sequence, he might have been kicked out of the law enforcement team long ago.
"Haha, Sister Liuli, could you please stop praising them to me?" Cosimo pouted.
"Wow, isn't my eldest daughter eye-catching enough?" asked Kamishiro Ruri.
"Her role is to act as a Pidgeot. Do you know what Pidgeot is? It's a Pokémon in Pokémon that can perform the 'Flying Technique'! Besides carrying people to fly, what else can she do?"
"Interesting statement. My eldest daughter is very vindictive. Be careful or I'll tell her."
"It's not just her. The one with the sword can only watch from the side. The most perverted one is the Snow Country Walker. Did you see that? The meteorite has a radius of at least five or six meters, right?"
"Well, that little girl who used ice was pretty amazing... Do you think the world's number one prefers this kind of aloof type, or the type like my eldest lady?"
"I don't like any of them. I now seriously suspect that this Anson Deer is a gay. Every time I see him, he is either with that crow monster or with that mafia guy."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Anyway, except for Anson Deer, the others are not that strong." Cosimo put his hands behind his head, "But they are indeed much stronger than before. They are things we have never seen before."
"Especially that Urushihara Ritsu." Kamishiro Ruri blinked, "I originally thought he was just a scheming gambler, but I didn't expect he actually had such a hidden card."
"The main thing is that the guy who plays Crow is very smart. After four rounds of dungeons, the Evolution Foundation hasn't analyzed his skills yet. It's obvious that other sequence players can reveal their true colors just by watching the video." Cosimo curled his lips.
"Have you guys had enough chatting?"
Lorenzo used the Ring of Faith to slowly descend from the sky and land on the ground with his feet.
"Well, enough of this." Cosimo smacked his lips.
"You're only so obedient in front of the captain." Kamishiro Ruri smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Lorenzo turned his head and looked at the law enforcement team members gathered in the Seoul Tower Plaza with his deep blue eyes.
Everyone in the law enforcement team was watching him, from the moment Anson Deer appeared to the end, these chosen ones who thought they were at the top of the world and unmatched, all had strong self-doubts in their hearts.
"Anson Deer is my friend." Lorenzo looked around and said calmly, "In the future, the Law Enforcement Team will work together with the Hell Lighthouse to protect this world. I don't want to hear that there are still some voices in the team that are hostile to them."
"Okay, Captain."
After a moment's silence, the more than 40 members of the law enforcement team responded in unison.
"Then, from now on, we will be divided into four teams, led by me, Gu Qiu, Vino, and Kadusa, and will go to the four directions of Seoul to carry out annihilation operations, and strive to eliminate all colonial monsters within today."
On the same day, near dusk, in the teachers’ dormitory building at Shangshi High School.
The setting sun is about to take away the last of its rays of light, and the coming night is like a black curtain draped over the shoulders of Shangshi City.
In the dormitory, dim lights enveloped the faces of the young boy and girl.
"It seems a bit too easy," Anson Lu held his chin and yawned, "We just used some skills randomly, and the law enforcement team also added one or two skills. In less than 30 seconds, the boss fell?"
Compared to Tokyo's boss, the Ten Thousand Knights Statue, whose skill mechanisms are so comprehensive that they are unimaginable, the Explosive Drummer entrenched in Seoul City is much weaker, and has no ability to fight back against the Law Enforcement Team and the Hell Lighthouse.
If the one standing in Seoul was not an enhanced version of Whiplash, but an enhanced version of the Ten Thousand Knights, maybe Anson would have suffered from PTSD and stood up Lorenzo in front of the whole world.
"President, if so many elite players can't kill a dungeon boss instantly, then the world will really be doomed." Chu Qimo said calmly.
"That's true." Anson Lu said, "Anyway, we'll really be on vacation from now on. The fifth round of dungeons won't start until February 1st, so everyone should just do what they need to do."
"Then I'm going for a run. I'll come back just in time for dinner." Chu Qimo put on his sword bag and walked out of the dormitory.
"Go ahead, see you in the cafeteria later." An Senlu watched Chu Qimo walk out of the dormitory and asked casually, "By the way, where's Asuka?"
He hasn't seen Asuka since he came back in the afternoon.
"The Uesugi family asked her to go back." Urushihara Ritsu answered casually while playing with his cell phone.
"Oh." Anson Deer paused for a few seconds and sighed helplessly: "Crow, go check on her, before anything happens."
Urushihara Ritsu put away his phone and said nonchalantly, "Okay, Lu-kun, I'm going to use the travel coupon to go back to Tokyo later."
"I'm going to the bookstore." Yuri closed the book "Snow Country" in his hand.
In Anson Lu's impression, she was reading this book yesterday. With her memory, she could just flip through it first, memorize the words in her mind, and then take it out to savor it when needed.
However, Yuri said that this would ruin the joy of reading. If it was not necessary, she would never memorize the words of a book first and then understand the meaning of the words.
"I'll go with you." Anson Deer stood up and shrugged his stiff shoulders.
".Okay."
"Why do you sound so disgusted?"
“I don’t like other people around me when I’m choosing books.”
"Oh, you look down on me, don't you? I've read the book in your hand, it's by Yasunari Kawabata, I think he won the Nobel Prize in Literature?" Anson Lu asked.
"Um."
Anson Lu pouted, "But it's too obscure. The whole story feels like just a story about a client and a prostitute?"
“I didn’t really understand it either, so I decided to stay away from Japanese literature for the time being.”
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Yuri, Japanese literature emphasizes the beauty of mono no aware. When you read Japanese literature, you should appreciate the artistic conception of the text rather than focusing on the plot itself." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly:
"Kawabata Yasunari's writing has a classical atmosphere, and his writing style can be said to have brought the beauty of the indifferent mono no aware to the extreme. Reading the book Snow Country gives people an immersive feeling as if they are in a cold and hazy northern country, which is why it has won so many awards."
"I've learned a lot," Yuri said. "You said that you received a lot of classical literature education when you were a child. It turns out it's true."
"Yes, after I was adopted by that nobleman in the slums, he devoted almost all his efforts to cultivating my aesthetic ability, hoping that I could become a successor who could be on par with him." Urushihara Ritsu said lightly.
"Oh, so awesome?" Anson Lu disagreed.
"When I was 12 to 14 years old, I read all the world famous books that I could find." Urushihara Ritsu smiled slightly, "Lu Jun, as long as you ask me a question, I can basically tell you the plot of the book."
"That's enough. The way you praised Snow Country shows that you have a distorted outlook on life. How can you even tell the story of a prostitute so beautifully?" Anson Lu complained disdainfully:
"Comrade Crow, the word 'gambling' is not enough, you want to add the word 'pornography', right? Damn, add in the American mafia member Yuliu, he must have been exposed to drugs a lot, our Hell Lighthouse has all three!"
"Lu Jun, I can't help you saying that." Urushihara Ritsu smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.
He was used to it and didn't bother to argue.
This is Anson Deer's personality. If it is not necessary, he will never show his serious side in front of others. Usually he will just put on a bad and vulgar personality to perfunctorily deal with you.
"Let's go." Yuri walked out of the dormitory and turned to glance at Anson Deer.
"Coming." Anson Lu put on his shoes and walked out of the dormitory.
The two left the dormitory building. Urushihara Ritsu took a sip of hot coffee and planned to use the travel voucher to go to Tokyo, not only to keep an eye on Asuka Uesugi and prevent her from getting into any trouble.
It just so happens that Crow has a gambling appointment tonight in Tokyo.
This gamble is so extreme that it can be said that the other party is here with a life-threatening attitude.
However, Urushihara Ritsu was naturally not afraid, and he accepted the appointment as a matter of course - on the one hand, it was to maintain the title of "Tokyo's No. 1 gambler"; on the other hand, it was also to eliminate some heretics and consolidate his position and connections in the underground world.
"Then it's time to go."
Ritsu Urushihara picked up the coffee cup, leaned against the dormitory door, and watched Yuri and Anson Lu leave. He yawned, used the travel coupon, and headed to the neon-lit city of Tokyo.
Soon after, we went to Shangshi Bookstore.
"Life advice: don't listen to crows too seriously," Anson Deer said calmly, his hands in his pockets.
Yuri put his hand on his chin and observed the books on the shelf, "Why?"
"It's just a suggestion anyway," said Anson Deer.
Yuri stretched out his long white fingers and picked up a book from the bookshelf. "But I think most of what he said makes sense."
"And what about the rest?"
"I don't think he knows you very well."
"Haha, the part about me is wrong. However, he really likes to slander me behind my back. I hope you won't be misled by his inexplicable remarks."
"I will only know you as I see you. What others say is not important."
"Come on, why are you suddenly so artistic?"
"Literally."
Anson Lu sighed, "Thank you for playing chess with me in the principal's office this afternoon. I was quite bored alone."
"Don't say thank you between friends." Yuri repeated what Anson Deer had said in an emotionless voice.
"That's true."
"Which one?"
Yuri held two famous books in front of his chest, turned around and showed them to Anson Lu - the one on the left was Yu Hua's "To Live", and the one on the right was Stendhal's "The Charterhouse of Parma".
"Why not buy both?" Anson Lu was puzzled.
"The rule is to only read one book at a time."
"Boss, I bought both."
Yuri raised his clear eyes and stared at him without saying a word.
Anson Lu didn't care about her interrogative gaze at all, and said calmly: "I want to read this one myself, you read the other one, and when you want to read it, I can give you this one."
"What if you don't look?"
"I guess," Anson said, smacking his lips. "I guess that's all right, isn't it?"
".Forget it." Yuri stared at Anson Deer's cheek, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes that were like the Icelandic aurora. "I won't force you. Just consider it as buying it for me."
"No, I want to see it anyway." Anson Lu took out his wallet, took out a few coins, and put them on the boss's desk. "Boss, leave the money here."
The bookstore owner is an old man who wears reading glasses and has a serious and stern face.
He put away the coin and looked at Anson Deer and Yuri twice more. He seemed to recognize Anson Deer's identity, and a trace of unconcealable surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Don't refuse to take my money." Anson Lu took the initiative, "Boss, we are all stoners, don't be like that supermarket."
Yuri nodded faintly to show his second opinion.
"It's great to be young." The old man just adjusted his glasses, looked at the two of them meaningfully, smiled and said, "Young people, you must seize the opportunity and don't wait until you are old to regret it."
